He went back to his room and lay down.
The next morning, he vaguely heard noises coming from the kitchen. When he got up, he saw his mother and two sisters-in-law working. Only then did he believe that his two sisters-in-law were really doing business.
He looked up and saw that the sky in the distance was still dark, and it wasn't dawn yet. He glanced at the large clock on the wall and saw that it was only five o'clock.
Every village in their village has a large wall clock. A few years ago, a peddler came to sell them, saying he couldn't sell them anymore and was selling them cheaply to everyone. Everyone in the village bought one to tell the time, and they hung it on the wall.
"Mom, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Mo Yan glanced at him, who was still half asleep, and quickly spoke.
"Why are you sleeping? We need to prepare the things to sell. If you get up, you can help us start a fire."
Kang Ping: "???"
Kangping could only wash his face with cold water and help tend the fire.
Everything's set up, and I can even ride in my mom's tricycle.
They now have two tricycles, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fit everything, including the stove. They just need to pick up the gas cylinders from the boss every day; it's not far, and the boss is kind enough not to replace them.
They even set up a coal stove to fry glutinous rice and red bean cakes, which were also delicious—crispy on the outside and soft and sweet glutinous rice and red beans inside—as well as a pot of tea eggs.
When they arrived at their destination, they abandoned Kangping. He wanted to eat tea eggs, but he had to pay for them.
Kang Ping: "..."
In Mo Yan's words, even a mother and son need to keep clear accounts.
Kangping gave him the money and bought a tea egg and a pancake, thinking that even if it wasn't very tasty, he had to finish it all since he had spent money on it.
I took a bite and found that it actually tasted really good.
"Mom, this is delicious."
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow. Of course it's delicious! How could her cooking not be delicious?
"Alright, hurry up and get to work. Don't eat out unless you have to. Eating in your cafeteria is fine."
Their cafeteria provides three free meals a day.
Kangping nodded. "Mom, I know."
Kangping then went to work, and when he arrived at his workplace, he found his girlfriend Qianqian there.
It was 7:30 in the morning, and there was still half an hour left.
"Qianqian, what brings you here? How long have you been waiting? Have you eaten? Eat this."
Kangping gave the tea egg to Qianqian.
"I've been waiting for you. Didn't you say you were going home to discuss it with your mother? I wanted to come and ask your aunt's opinion."
"Won't your aunt think we're being unreasonable?"
Qianqian was a little worried about this, which is why she got up early to come here and wait. She couldn't sleep last night either, tossing and turning.
Qianqian passed the exam to become a teacher in the county and has already started working. Both of them now have jobs, so things will definitely be easier for them in the future.
"Why don't you go and ask my mom yourself? My mom happens to be here too, I'll take you to meet her."
Kang Ping didn't know what reason to give his girlfriend to tell her he was going home to pick up his mother, but since there was still time, he figured he might as well do it now.
"Huh?" Qianqian was a little confused. She wasn't prepared at all. "But I didn't prepare anything, and I'm not dressed very well today. How about I go back and change my clothes?"
Qianqian started to get nervous, really nervous, she felt extremely flustered.
She suddenly understood why Kang Ping had been using the same hand and foot movements before.
"You don't need to prepare anything. You are the best right now. You can go."
Mo Yan was making egg pancakes when she saw that brat come again.
"Mom, give me another egg pancake, I want it with ham."
Mo Yan nodded. "Okay, I'll make it for you right away. How can you eat so much?"
"It's not that I can eat a lot, it's that I brought my girlfriend home."
Mo Yan: "?"
Qianqian appeared from behind Kangping, and only then did Moyan see the little girl. She was quite cute, wearing glasses, and seemed like a quiet and gentle girl.
"Hello, Auntie, I'm Qianqian... I'm Kangping's girlfriend."
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Hello, I'm his mother. Please sit down here. What would you like to eat?"
Mo Yan quickly made her an egg pancake, scooped out an egg, and finally gave her a bottle of soda.
This is what the customers told them: the food is delicious, but there's no water, so it's a bit dry.
This made Qianqian a little embarrassed. "Auntie, I don't need so much, really, I don't need it."
"You should eat more for breakfast, and make sure it's nutritious."
Just as Mo Yan was about to speak, someone came over and said, "Auntie, we'd like two pancakes with extra shredded potatoes."
Mo Yan quickly said a few words to Qianqian and then went over, "Qianqian, I'm sorry, I'm a bit busy here and may not be able to talk to you. Let him take you home in a couple of days on the weekend so we can have a proper talk."
I set up my stall here every day, and I have him deliver breakfast to you every day.
Qianqian also saw that there were many people, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "Auntie, it's okay. You go about your business, and I can help you too."
"You two hurry up and eat, then go to work, aren't you going to be late?"
Mo Yan knew that they all had to go to work.
Qianqian was a little embarrassed. "Auntie, actually... I'm in this school."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan exclaimed, "Oh, what a coincidence!"
“Then you can come here for breakfast every day from now on. I believe Kangping would be very willing.”
He definitely has to pay for it. This is a business run by the three of them, mother and daughter-in-law, so the accounts have to be kept clear. Even if they eat there, they have to pay. Everything at this stall has to be accounted for. So usually, the three of them will eat the steamed buns or something they brought from home, and then go eat something else.
