Yan Xiecheng and his wife were recently in high spirits. The renovation of their restaurant was proceeding according to plan, and they expected to open for business very soon.
Every day, they would spend their time at the site, supervising the construction and striving for perfection in every detail. They had exhausted their savings buying the property, and in the end, they had to take out a two-thousand-yuan bank loan to cover the renovation costs. However, they were full of confidence and not the least bit worried about profitability. After all, their previous small eatery had brought in three or four thousand a month; surely, with a larger, higher-end restaurant, a monthly turnover of over ten thousand would be no problem at all.
As the renovation neared completion, Yan Xiecheng and Yu Li lay in bed at night, flipping through a calendar to pick an auspicious day. They finally settled on the third day from then—the twentieth day of the sixth lunar month—a date marked as suitable for opening a business and moving in. With the matter settled, they engaged in some intimate marital relations to celebrate.
