Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Strange

In June, the weather got hotter and hotter, and by noon, it was like a steaming furnace, with even the slightest movement causing one to break out in a sweat.

After the lunch business concluded, Cheng Su and Qiulan dealt with the small matters of the restaurant and prepared the ingredients for the next day, as usual.

A few children giggled and gathered at the entrance of the restaurant, shouting, "Shaved ice, shaved ice, we want to buy shaved ice."

Ever since shaved ice was introduced, who knows who spread the word first, but many greedy elementary school students would head over to Cheng Su’s place to buy shaved ice after class.

Cheng Su took out the ready-made shaved ice from the freezer, added toppings like red beans and kidney beans, and then poured pineapple jam over it, handing it to the children, saying, "You came just in time, these are the last few bowls!"

"Ah, there’s no more? Will there be any tomorrow?"

"Come and ask tomorrow; I might be too busy with things today to make any, so after you finish, you better head home quickly," Cheng Su said with a smile.

Since the restaurant’s opening, she had been leaving early and returning late every day, and for the past couple of days, she had even been staying at the restaurant. She really needed to go home to clean up; after all, she was a married woman.

"Right now, the most popular thing in our restaurant is probably the shaved ice!" Qiulan said with a smile.

"It’s just a summer thing. When autumn comes, we can’t sell it anymore," Cheng Su chuckled.

The two of them quickly washed the pots and pans, and prepared the ingredients for the next day. Qiulan went to the city to help her older sister shop, and Cheng Su headed home alone.

"Oh my, Sister-in-law Qi, I haven’t seen you around these past couple of days, where have you been?" Chunhua emerged from the building, clutching a bag of trash, and called out to Cheng Su as she approached.

"Didn’t I open a restaurant? It’s been so busy. My husband hasn’t been around these days, so I just stayed over there for a couple of nights—it’s less back and forth," Cheng Su replied with a laugh.

Chunhua was taken aback, "Staying outside, huh!"
