Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Even after the house was rented out, Grandpa Hu still got up early as usual, and he sold the tableware and other items that he used for making breakfast to someone else.

However, the habit of getting up early every day is hard to change. Grandpa Hu gets up before dawn, strolls leisurely on the street, and when it's past six o'clock, he buys some breakfast to take home for his granddaughter. Then he comes to a chess stall and watches a few old men play chess.

"Why did you jump off your horse? You should have pushed the chariot all the way to the bottom! By mounting it like that, you're just letting his cannon checkmate you!"

"Look what I just said!"

When Grandpa Hu saw the white-bearded old man playing chess, he quickly waved his hand and said irritably.

Before he could finish speaking, the old man slammed down the chess piece, looking somewhat angry.

"Old Hu, could you please say less? Is this my turn to play chess or yours? If you really want to play, I'll give you this spot."

"No, no, I'm not coming!"

Grandpa Hu certainly wanted to play chess, but being a terrible chess player, he wouldn't show his face at this time. He chuckled and waved his hands repeatedly.

The old men around laughed when they heard this.

"I think Old Hu has stopped selling breakfast because he's bored. Why don't you cook for us from now on?"

"Get lost, go back and let your wives do it."

"Want to play a couple more rounds? Let me see what you're capable of."

Another old man looked at him with a smile and asked, "1."

Although Grandpa Hu felt that his skills were not that great, he was still a little itchy to sit down when he heard others invite him.

He saw Lu Yuan approaching from the corner of his eye and said with a smile.

"You guys play chess, I'm going to say a few words to my godson."

"You're just making excuses..."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately concluded that Grandpa Hu was admitting defeat, and they all laughed and cursed.

Grandpa Hu wasn't angry at all, and happily came to Lu Yuan's side.

"Is Xiao Yuan going to work today? Has he eaten yet?"

"After eating with Grandpa Hu, shall we play chess?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the chessboard, then at Grandpa Hu who was eager to try, and asked with a smile.

Grandpa Hu was a little embarrassed when Lu Yuan saw through his thoughts, and he scratched his head and said.

"I'd rather not play chess. I don't have their skills. I'll just watch at most, nothing more."

"That's perfect. I've arranged for someone to come and look at the renovations. Shall we take a look together?"

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Hu was startled. Lu Yuan had mentioned it briefly when they signed the contract, but he hadn't taken it seriously, thinking Lu Yuan was just saying it casually. Who knew Lu Yuan would bring it up again now?

He quickly shook his head and said in a slightly flustered voice.

"Xiao Yuan, are you really planning to renovate my shop?"

"Yes, it's true that I told you to leave before. I'll just renovate your rooms anyway, it's nothing I can do."

Lu Yuan came here this time to get the renovation of the new store done as soon as possible. He plans to make it the first milk tea shop in Shanghai, and if possible, he wants to start construction today.

The white-bearded old man, who was playing chess, laughed when he heard this.

"Such a fine godson, Old Hu, don't be shy and give him to me."

"Go away... What business is it of yours if I'm talking to my grandson?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Grandpa Hu regretted it a little. He had only bragged about it in front of his friends. He could never bring himself to say something like asking Lu Yuan to be his godson.

Lu Yuan said with a smile as he walked into the store.

"I like hearing that. If you mind, then I'll ask you to call me grandpa."

"this……"

Grandpa Hu was taken aback. He did want to agree, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

Lu Yuan knew that Grandpa Hu was shy, so he didn't continue speaking, but instead cheerfully said...

"We'll talk about this later, but you really need to think carefully about what I'm telling you. If the downstairs is renovated, you won't be able to live there."

"Maybe we should just forget about it..."

Grandpa Hu knew that Lu Yuan meant well, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Grandpa Hu's shop is only about 30 or 40 square meters in total, with two floors above. One floor is the living room and the other is the bedroom. Originally, the shop was filled with small stools and such, but those have long been sold.

The entire floor felt a bit empty because only Grandpa Hu lived there. Although the floor was very clean, there was still a layer of grease that couldn't be wiped off.

The kitchen isn't big, but it does have a stove and such. These things will be removed and replaced with equipment used in milk tea shops because of the distance.

Most importantly, this breakfast shop has been open for too long, and it needs to be renovated if it wants to reopen.

After checking, Lu Yuan went straight to the second floor.

"Uncle Hu, I'm going upstairs to take a look."

"OK."

Grandpa Hu was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded.

The second floor wasn't large; it contained several old wooden sofas that looked hard, and large patches of mold on the corners, giving off a faint damp smell.

This is mainly because there's a breakfast shop downstairs, and they have to check and open the door as they go.

"Uncle Hu, no offense, but this place really needs to be renovated. No matter what you say, I'm definitely going to do it. If you don't like it, just rent the whole building to me."

"That's not what I meant, I just felt bad that you had to spend so much money."

Grandpa Hu gave a wry smile and said.

Her own granddaughter also asked Lu Yuan for help, and now she's asking Lu Yuan to renovate her room again...

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's do this: I'll find someone to do it, and you can pay for the two floors later."

"This is great!"

Grandpa Hu lowered his head repeatedly upon hearing this.

At that moment, Hu Lili, wearing bunny slippers and pink pajamas, rubbed her eyes as she came downstairs, her ten adorable toes landing right in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"Grandpa, what are you doing so early in the morning? Don't you know I have to go to work?"

"morning."

"Brother Lu Yuan? Good morning..."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Hu Lili didn't react much, simply rubbing her eyes and nodding.

She was just about to turn and leave when she suddenly stopped, instinctively turned her head to look, and froze on the spot as if she had been electrocuted.

"Brother Lu Yuan? I'm getting up right now!"

Hu Lili blushed instantly and ran upstairs, inwardly blaming her grandfather for not mentioning it to her.

"This girl is still so impulsive."

Looking at his granddaughter's appearance, Grandpa Hu shook his head repeatedly, looking helpless.

Lu Yuan found it quite cute and said with a smile.

"Let's go downstairs and wait."
