Back at the gate of his own courtyard, Feng Haidong first adjusted the position of the cart so that it could be pushed directly through the gate.
Then he quietly and slowly opened the courtyard gate.
Feng Haidong moved so gently so as not to wake his wife and son at home.
After Feng Haidong pushed the cart into the yard and locked the gate, he turned around and saw his wife standing in front of the house.
Seeing his wife's worried expression, Feng Haidong quickly stepped forward, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "What's wrong? Are you worried something might happen to me tonight? Don't worry, there are plenty of people at the night market, and Brother Sun and his wife are there too. What could possibly happen?"
Lu Wanling hugged her husband and said, "I know there are a lot of people at the night market, but there was no one on your way back, right? What if you run into those thugs again?"
Feng Haidong knew his wife was genuinely frightened. As he helped her into the house, he continued to ask in a low voice, "Is our son asleep?"
Lu Wanling said, "She fell asleep. At first, she didn't want to sleep, saying she wanted to wait for you to come back, but later she couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "What a good son."
Lu Wanling said, "Try to come back earlier in the future, and don't stay up this late anymore."
Feng Haidong said softly, "I can't guarantee that either. The crayfish we cook every day have to be sold, otherwise they'll be even harder to sell the next day if we bring them back."
At this point, Feng Haidong happily said, "Tonight, I made over 80 yuan from crayfish, beer, and crayfish tails together."
Lu Wanling was also somewhat surprised: "So many?"
Feng Haidong said, "Yes, so we have to persevere. How can we make money if we don't persevere?"
Lu Wanling was still somewhat worried: "But it's so late, it's really not safe for you to come back."
Feng Haidong said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. And I'm thinking that maybe we can find a storefront in the summer and expand our business. All the spicy crayfish will be freshly cooked."
Lu Wanling was somewhat surprised: "You're going to rent a storefront to expand your business so soon?"
Feng Haidong said, "Since the business opportunity is right in front of us, of course we should give it a try. Don't worry, I will definitely plan it out before we do it."
Hearing her husband's words, Lu Wanling felt at ease for some reason. She didn't think her husband was being rash; on the contrary, she believed that he would think things through before acting.
Lu Wanling then poured hot water for her husband so he could take a good shower before going to sleep.
Seeing his wife busy taking care of him, Feng Haidong felt that no matter how hard he worked, it was all worth it.
