In a small alley in Zhaoqing City, the 10-square-meter "Fei Juan Snack" shop carries the entrepreneurial dreams of the young couple Lin Jinghuan and Qiu Zhijuan.

This snack shop was originally a shoe store. Due to its proximity to a school, many students would stop by after class to do their homework or take a break. The thoughtful couple added a TV that played cartoons and science programs, allowing both students and parents to pass the time. This heartwarming scene was captured in a video that unexpectedly went viral online, drawing the attention of netizens.

However, the shoe store business was not going well, and out of frustration, the couple decided to close the shop. This decision left the regular students, parents, and even netizens feeling disappointed. In the end, encouraged by their customers and online followers, the couple decided to transform the business. They launched "Fei Juan Snack." In just over ten days, the shoe store was transformed into a popular snack shop.

The snack shop continued the tradition of providing a resting place for students. The children became the shop's "partners". Some took the initiative to research prices, while others helped greet customers and pack utensils. The couple genuinely listened to their suggestions, building a warm relationship with the children, where both sides contributed and supported each other.

After the snack shop gained popularity, some people asked the couple if they planned to expand the business. "We have no intention of turning it into a large-scale operation. We just want to have weekends off and live a little more leisurely," Lin said. They maintained a calm attitude towards their fame, sticking to their belief in running a small but beautiful business.

从“关门”到转型，一家小店的温暖故事

在肇庆市一条不起眼的小巷里，10平方米的“肥娟小吃”店承载着青年夫妻林景欢和邱智娟的创业梦想。

这家小吃店原本是一家鞋店，由于毗邻学校，经常有学生放学后来店里写作业、歇脚。夫妻俩贴心地添置了一台电视，播放动画片和科普节目，让学生和家长消磨时间。这一温馨场景被拍成视频，意外走红网络，吸引了网友们关注。

然而，鞋店生意并不如意，无奈之下，夫妻俩决定关闭店面。对此，常来这家店的学生和家长以及网友们感到非常惋惜。最终，夫妻俩决定转型，在大家的鼓励下，他们开办了“肥娟小吃”。仅用十多天，鞋店摇身一变成了网红小吃店。

小吃店延续了让学生们歇脚的传统。小朋友们则成了这家店的“合伙人”，有人主动调研价格，有人帮忙迎客、分装餐筷。夫妻俩也认真采纳他们的建议，和小朋友们形成“双向奔赴”的温暖关系。

小吃店走红之后，有人问夫妻俩会不会扩大经营。“我们没打算转型成大规模店面，只想有周末休息，过得轻松一点。”林景欢说道。他们对走红保持平常心，坚持小而美的经营理念。
