Realizing she had misunderstood, Ning Yanshu sniffed, wiped away her tears, and asked, "Then... what about the two boxes of rice left over from yesterday?"
If we don't eat it, it will be a waste.
Because she often went hungry as a child, Ning Yanshu couldn't bear to waste any food.
Ning Yanshu's expression was conflicted as she struggled.
His two eyebrows were twisted together in a messy way.
"Mom, how about... how about we just go home and eat takeout?" Ning Yanshu licked her lips and said, "And on the weekend, could we go to McDonald's?"
That burger joint called McKenzie is supposedly delicious.
Ning Yanshu had often heard her classmate Wang Zihao mention it many times.
But every time I only heard him show off, I never had the chance to try it myself.
As soon as Ning Yanshu finished speaking, she hurriedly explained, "But it's okay if you don't go. As long as I can be with Mom, I'll be happy no matter what I eat."
"Can't."
Ning Wan shook her head.
Under Ning Yanshu's anxious and fearful gaze, she spoke calmly: "Xiaoshu, you must remember that you are only 5 years old, a child. Here with Mommy, you can be spoiled, you can be willful, you can tell me your preferences and express your needs. You don't need to be so careful with me."
"Because you are Mommy's child, and Mommy loves you very much."
Ning Yanshu stood there, stunned.
It felt as if something was slowly filling and expanding in my chest.
That warm and hot feeling was so unfamiliar that he was somewhat at a loss.
What should I do? I'm about to burst into tears again...
...
Ning Yanshu lowered her head, blinked, and forcefully wiped away the tears that were about to fall.
He looked up and said to Ning Wan, word by word, "Mom, I want to go to McDonald's this weekend."
"No problem!" She cupped Ning Yanshu's little face and gave him a big kiss. "Mommy will take our baby to McDonald's this weekend!"
Ning Yanshu was timid and never dared to make demands of himself.
Ning Wan was also very happy to see him express his preferences so frankly.
Ning Yanshu gently touched the cheek that her mother had kissed.
The warmth that my fingertips touched quickly faded away.
He thought he probably wouldn't want to wash his face for several days...
...
For the next few days, Ning Wan went to the construction site to set up her stall every day.
As its reputation gradually grew, more and more people came to the stall to eat.
There was an acquaintance introduced by Zhao Shuigen.
There were also a few close friends that Zhou Kai had specifically brought over.
Although most people only patronized the food stall out of politeness, they were ultimately won over by Ning Wan's culinary skills.
Eventually, they gradually evolved into long-term customers.
Although the number of customers at the stall increased, Ning Wan's boxed lunch prices remained unchanged.
Even the portion sizes were not ambiguous at all.
Two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a large box of rice cost only 14 yuan in total.
It's really cheap.
Everyone knows that Ning Wan's boxed lunches are priced low, so they always buy some drinks to support her business.
With some capital in hand, Ning Wan spent a large sum of money to buy a stall cart.
Ning Wan couldn't afford the kind with an electric scooter.
So she had to settle for second best and buy one of those hand-pushed mobile street vendor carts.
Although it's a bit heavy, it can hold a lot of things.
Compared to the earliest folding trolleys, the trolley is indeed more convenient to a certain extent.
Among the customers who buy boxed meals every day, Zhou Kai is someone who visits without fail every day.
Lin Wei, who was forced to come with him, always liked to tease the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally.
Ning Wan was not stupid; she knew exactly what Zhou Kai was thinking.
She stated frankly that she was married and had a 5-year-old child.
But nobody believed it.
Ning Wan is beautiful.
Despite being exposed to the sun every day, her skin remained snow-white. She had long, slender eyebrows, bright eyes, and white teeth; her eyes crinkled when she smiled.
Most importantly, Ning Wan has clear eyes, and looks like an innocent and carefree young girl who has just entered the workforce.
She doesn't look like a mother of a 5-year-old at all.
After repeating it so many times, no one believed her, so Ning Wan stopped explaining.
Ning Wan ultimately had to break her promise to meet at McKinsey over the weekend.
Because Zhou Kai introduced her to a job: contracting the lunchboxes for a construction team on Saturday noon.
There were a total of 60 people.
After deducting the cost of the drinks, Ning Wan estimated that she could earn at least 800 yuan a day.
After patiently explaining to Ning Yanshu, Ning Wan obtained his understanding and consent.
"Of course, making money is more important!" Ning Yanshu said seriously. "We don't just have this Saturday, next Saturday, or the Saturday after that. We can go to McKinsey anytime, but big business deals only happen today!"
"Our little book is so smart!" Ning Wan praised.
Ning Yanshu chuckled.
He sat on a small stool, looking very well-behaved: "But Mom, I want to go with you today, is that okay?"
He has never been to his mother's workplace.
I've never seen my mother work.
He desperately wanted to be involved in anything related to his mother.
Ning Wan thought about it for a moment and readily agreed.
In the morning, after the mother and son returned from the market, Ning Wan started working in the kitchen.
Ning Yanshu seemed particularly curious.
