Even the Zhou Family, and everyone else, wouldn’t have thought that Zhang Tao would get lucky again facing a second round of demolition.
Of course, there were so people inquiring, and Zhang Tao’s logic amused them, "How could I? I plan to open a farmstay over there, that’s my wife’s hotown."
"Then, coincidentally, this opportunity arose where we could lease the fish pond and orchard; otherwise, if the conditions were different, we wouldn’t agree."
"Of course, my wife’s parents’ old house left to us is in shambles; if we don’t renovate, that house is really going to waste."
"If my wife’s hotown was elsewhere, we would open our farmstay elsewhere. Generally, in these situations, no one dares to do business in unfamiliar places."
"Honestly, I also hope for relocation,"
If Zhang Tao had talked evasively, people might have thought a relocation was really happening. But after his analysis, even if there were still doubts, they were minimal.
At the end of August, after running Zhang Ji Restaurant for many years, it closed just like that. Despite being ntally prepared, Zhang Tao and his wife were still reluctant when the day ca.
"That was quick," Feng Liya said as she took one last look at every corner of the store before slowly walking out.
Zhang Tao handed the keys to the staff taking over, "It’s done."
Then, he put his arm around Feng Liya’s shoulder and walked towards the residential area, "Wife, from now on we will have a better life."
"We can’t keep dwelling on the past; we must think about the future."
"Wife, I’ve decided that while the farmstay isn’t open yet, we should take a little trip." Zhang Tao rembered what his daughter ntioned the other day and was tempted.
What? Take a trip? "Go out of town?" Feng Liya shook her head before Zhang Tao could answer, "No way, absolutely not."
"If we go out, what about our daughter? Who would take care of her?" This sumr, it’s obvious how much our girl has grown, but she’s still just a little girl.
"And if we go out, what about her als?" The more Feng Liya thought about it, the more she felt they couldn’t leave now.
"I’ve already arranged with Xiao Ji that once we leave, he can stay at our house."
"As for als, she can eat out. You know how picky our daughter is; she can try different foods outside and give us so suggestions." Although he’s good at cooking, he also needs to co up with new dishes frequently.
"Otherwise, if it’s the sa old recipes, we won’t keep up with the changing tis. Our thinking needs to change and improve too."
"Moreover, we used to run a small restaurant and lived well, relying purely on reputation. We never focused much on service, but we’ve invested so much money this ti."
"We need to go out and learn from others’ experiences, so we know how to run our farmstay when the ti cos."
"Also, over the years, apart from a few days off during Spring Festival, we never really took breaks."
"Once the farmstay starts, I guess our chances of traveling will be slim." Zhang Tao shared the thoughts that had been on his mind for a few days.
Listening to her husband, Feng Liya felt sothing was off and asked, "Who gave you these ideas?"
"I, I..." Zhang Tao couldn’t possibly betray his strategist, "Of course, it was my idea."
Feng Liya snorted coldly a few tis, "You think for yourself? You really take people for fools."
"We’ve been married for so many years! Don’t I know you? Was it my brother or Little Yu?" After considering who it could be, only these two seed suspicious.
Zhang Tao looked around, avoiding her question.
Unhurriedly, Feng Liya changed the topic, and seeing that she let it go, Zhang Tao felt uneasy.
Just after getting ho, Zhang Tao was about to talk to Little Yu, but Feng Liya spoke up first, "Zhang Yu, did you suggest your dad take out to play?"
Zhang Yu ca out to greet them after hearing the movent, not expecting Feng Liya to question her.
What’s happening? Soone promised, knowing not to trust him too much, "Yes, I think you and dad have worked too hard all these years."
"You haven’t been able to travel. Now that you have so ti, it’s a good chance to go out, look at farmstays, and learn hotel hospitality."
"This way, when our farmstay opens, we won’t make mistakes," Zhang Yu expressed her thoughts, "Also, it’s a chance to relax."
"Isn’t there a saying that resting is to go further?" Zhang Yu felt Feng Liya and Zhang Tao were too tense, which wasn’t good.
"I have to attend classes, otherwise I would go with you," Zhang Yu said longingly.
"We’ll go to The South for Spring Festival," Zhang Tao knew their daughter loved seafood and the sea.
The child had never left the city; nowadays, families with slightly better conditions would take their kids traveling, whether far or near.
What? Zhang Yu was stunned, "Dad, did I hear you right? Did you say, did you say during Spring Festival, you’d take us to the seaside?"
"Don’t you know that business is booming for farmstays during Spring Festival?" Zhang Yu quickly understood why Zhang Tao said that, considering their restaurant used to close for a few days during Spring Festival.
What? Really? Zhang Tao was dumbfounded, thinking they couldn’t take her out during normal tis but could go to the seaside during Spring Festival, and take a few extra days off.
Who could have predicted that running a farmstay ant no Spring Festival break, what’s this situation.
"Isn’t that like having no breaks all year?" Feng Liya reacted quickly.
"Not entirely without breaks, only if you’re willing to forgo earnings," Zhang Yu thought it over, "Also possible."
Zhang Tao considered, "Never mind if your uncle isn’t mistaken; we expect to do business for just two or three years."
After all, with such a big investnt, Zhang Tao felt quite pressured, even if the money ca unexpectedly. Without investing in the farmstay, buying shops and collecting rent would yield good returns too.
Feng Liya nodded continuously beside him, "That’s right, exactly right, your dad’s right, let’s earn money these couple of years first."
Feeling the topic wasn’t too safe, she quickly changed it, "How were your exams these past few days?"
"I think I did okay, but we still have to see what the teachers think." Zhang Yu felt she did well, now just waiting for the results, "By the way, Zhao Xuan really should study humanities."
This kind of significant matter had to be shared with Zhang Tao and Feng Liya.
Feng Liya was slightly taken aback, "Why study humanities? Didn’t Qiao Lili always say Zhao Xuan is like her dad, good at science, and said she’d beco an engineer like him in the future."
Feng Liya knew these words were ant for them to hear, to show how impressive their child was.
"She said the pressure in science is too great," Zhang Yu shrugged.
