The shop didn't suffer any damage. It was just that it looked dirty and messy.
"What a pity." Master Qin looked around the shop and murmured.
"Dad, it's getting late. It's almost five o 'clock. Why don't you go to my house and have a rest? I'll help you tidy up the shop in the morning." Qin Changyuan looked at his watch and found it was getting late. He was afraid that his old father couldn't stand it anymore.
"No, a customer will come to pick up her stuff at noon tomorrow. Now the stuff has been burned. She needs to work overtime to make it again." Master Qin shook his head and refused his son's suggestion.
"Isn't it just some flower wreaths? We can't burn them all. Why don't we refund her money and let her buy them elsewhere?" Qin Changyuan frowned.
He didn't think it was a big deal. The most important thing was his father's health. Although he didn't learn this ancestral craft from Master Qin and changed his profession to the construction industry, he still knew a lot about it. After all, he had been influenced by it since he was a child.
"Nonsense. Since the customer has agreed to pick up her stuff, it proves that she will be useful at that time. How can she refuse?! Is that what I taught you? "Master Qin scolded in a low voice.
Obviously, Master Qin rejected his son's suggestion. He had been running the shop for dozens of years. He would never delay the customer's stuff because of objective factors. This was his reputation. Besides, the stuff made by his family was a very special offering. How could he delay it?
"But your health?" Qin Changyuan knew the importance of reputation, but for him, his father's health was more important.
Although the old man looked very healthy, he was a man in his sixties or seventies. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't be compared to when he was young.
"What health? I'm so strong. What problem can I have? It's not a problem for me to beat you." Master Qin waved his hand and interrupted his son's words. He was really full of vigor.
"Okay. Then I'll help you. Is there any problem?" Qin Changyuan was also helpless.
"Your craftsmanship has been lost for a long time. You can help me." Master Qin looked at his son with disdain.
"No problem. Let's start." Qin Changyuan didn't dare to say anything. This was his father.
"Shua Shua Shua"
Soon, the father and son began to get busy. First, they divided the work. Master Qin went to the inner room to put up a wreath and so on, while Qin Changyuan went outside to find someone to clean up the shop. They wanted to open the shop early the next morning.
Just like that, the Qin father and son were busy for more than a day.
There was no sun in Chengdu early in the morning on Wednesday. The sky was a little gray, and it seemed that it was going to rain.
Yuan Zhou woke up early in the morning. He had already discussed with Yin Ya about the time to meet after lunch. After that, it would take about 40 to 50 minutes to get there. It should be quite early if they went there.
"There shouldn't be a problem like this. The writing is brilliant and touching!" Yuan Zhou muttered to himself. He looked at the request for leave he had just completed. He didn't know if his request for leave for dinner could move the customers, but he was very satisfied with it.
While Yuan Zhou was busy preparing breakfast and lunch, Yin Ya also woke up early.
"I don't think this one is good. That one is too colorful. This color is not good either. It's not dignified enough. Which one should I choose?" Yin Ya looked at the seven or eight sets of clothes spread on the bed and was a little hesitant.
She felt fine before, but now that it was the day, she started to feel nervous. It had been 30 minutes since she got up, but Yin Ya didn't even choose a set of clothes.
"It's 11: 00. Blockhead has already started to prepare lunch. I have to hurry." Yin Ya bit her lips and took a set of beige clothes into the bathroom. Plain color was fine, because white and black would be a little strange on today's occasion.
…
"Master Qin, are the things all here?" Yin Ya looked at a big black bag in front of her. When she arrived at the restaurant, the surroundings had been cleaned up. It could only be said that it was emptier than before, but it was impossible to tell that it had been burned yesterday.
"Yes, it's all inside. There must be no problem. Cough, cough, cough. Can you check it?" Master Qin didn't look good and seemed to be out of breath, but he was in good spirits.
"Thank you, Master Qin. Are you all right?" Yin Ya opened it and found there was no problem. But when she heard Master Qin cough, she was still concerned.
"I'm fine. It's cold and my throat feels uncomfortable," Master Qin said carelessly.
"Drink more hot water. Don't catch a cold in the cold weather. The things are very good. Thank you. I'm leaving." Seeing that Master Qin was really fine, Yin Ya quickly said goodbye. After all, she still had a place to go.
"Okay. Goodbye." Master Qin walked Yin Ya out of the restaurant. He didn't close the door until she was out of his sight. He planned to take a rest.
"I'm really getting old. In the past, I was also a person who stayed up late reading martial arts novels in bed with a flashlight." Master Qin muttered in a low voice. He didn't mention the fire yesterday at all. Beside him, Qin Changyuan didn't say anything, either. Why did he mention it?
Soon, it was 2: 00 in the afternoon. Probably it couldn't stand the gray sky anymore. It finally began to disperse little by little, but a little rain began to fall.
"I've already prepared the wood."
When Yuan Zhou opened the door of the backyard, Yin Ya was standing by the door. She was dressed in beige clothes. Her hair was tied up in a bun and there was a wooden hairpin carved by Yuan Zhou on her head. She looked fresh and elegant. She was holding a bunch of pink and beige carnations in her hands. The flowers were still dripping with raindrops, looking very fresh.
"Then let's go." Yuan Zhou carried a large lunch box in one hand and took the big black bag from Yin Ya's hands with the other.
"Um."
Yin Ya held the flowers and followed Yuan Zhou's steps forward. Looking at Yuan Zhou's broad back, the previous nervousness had disappeared and was replaced by certainty.
The distance was not very long. Before this, Yuan Zhou had already called for a taxi. Therefore, they arrived at the place soon.
Yuan Zhou put down the things in his hands and squatted down to clean some dead branches and weeds in the cracks of the stones. Naturally, Yin Ya also squatted down to help.
"Chi Chi Chi"
Soon, the two of them finished cleaning the weeds and other things. Yuan Zhou opened the lunch box and took out a few dishes that he had specially made and placed them in front of the tombstone.
These were the dishes that Yuan Zhou's father liked to make for the family when they were together. Although Yuan Zhou still felt that his father's cooking was not as good as his father's, this was already the best he could do.
Yin Ya also put the flowers down along the tombstone.
"Mom, Dad, I mainly brought your future daughter-in-law to meet you today. Are you very satisfied? Your son is very capable, right? He found you such a beautiful daughter-in-law," Yuan Zhou said in a low voice.
"Hello, Uncle, Auntie. My name is Yin Ya. In the future, I will work hard with Yuan Zhou. Please rest assured." Yin Ya squatted in front of the tombstone. She held Yuan Zhou's hand with one hand and opened the black bag she brought with the other.
"I prepared some small gifts for Uncle and Auntie. I hope you will like them." Yin Ya brought exquisite kitchen utensils and some daily necessities. Although there were many kinds, each of them was very small and exquisite.
"Little Ya, thank you." When Yuan Zhou saw these things, he naturally understood Yin Ya's intention and held her hand tightly.
"This is what I should do. It didn't take much thought." Yin Ya looked at Yuan Zhou fixedly.
The two of them squatted in front of the tombstone and began to talk about some trivial things in life. Although it was messy, it sounded very warm.
