After spending most of the day in the park, Feng Haidong returned home in the afternoon and immediately began preparing for his evening stall.
When Lu Wanling saw her husband return home and start working on his business again, she moved a stool and sat down next to him.
"You've been playing in the park for so long today, you must be tired. Are you going to set up a stall at the night market tonight?"
While busy, Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Of course we have to go. These shrimp will definitely not be fresh if they are left overnight, so we have to try our best to sell them tonight."
Lu Wanling said with some heartache for her husband, "But you're working too hard."
Feng Haidong looked up at his wife and said easily, "I've been doing this for a month now, what's so hard about it? I'm used to it."
As he spoke, Feng Haidong began to cook the crayfish. He added, "Moreover, our business is doing very well now, and we have quite a few repeat customers. We still need to retain those customers so that when we open our own restaurant, they will come to eat there."
Seeing her husband's insistence, Lu Wanling got up and went inside to get a pair of rubber gloves. She then put on the gloves, sat on a small stool, and started cleaning crayfish with her husband.
When Feng Haidong saw his wife helping, he felt sorry for her and said, "Aren't you uncomfortable doing this? Why don't you just brush it yourself? There's not much anyway."
Lu Wanling insisted, "It's okay, the two of us together can be faster."
Feng Haidong looked at his wife's belly, still feeling somewhat worried.
Lu Wanling noticed her husband's gaze, looked down at her belly, and smiled, saying, "I believe our child will understand us. Knowing how hard we've worked, he will definitely be proud of his parents."
As soon as Lu Wanling finished speaking, Feng Qifan said, "Mom and Dad, I've always been proud of you. I think you're the best mom and dad. Today is the happiest birthday I've ever had. I will study hard in the future and make you proud of me with my grades."
Upon hearing their son's voice, Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling both looked up at him.
Then, the three of them laughed at the same time.
Feng Haidong said, "Good son, you have ambition. Your parents believe in you."
Lu Wanling also said, "Yes, Mom and Dad believe in you."
Feng Qifan simply squatted down next to his parents, looked at the crayfish in the basin, and said, "Mom and Dad, let me help you."
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Sure."
As he spoke, Feng Haidong took off his rubber gloves and put them on his son, then he and his wife taught their son how to brush.
As for Feng Haidong, he caught them with his bare hands. The family of three gathered around the large basin and carefully washed the crayfish.
After scrubbing the crayfish, Feng Haidong quickly stir-fried them in a large wok.
By the time it was getting dark, Feng Haidong had basically finished his preparations.
Lu Wanling immediately took her son and went out with her husband.
The family of three pushed the stroller together, chatting and laughing all the way to the night market.
Sun Yongxing had already arrived. Upon seeing Feng Haidong and the others, Sun Hongyu took the initiative to help set up the cart.
Before the night market started serving customers, Sun Yongxing personally cooked a few dishes, and the two families sat down together to eat dinner.
Around the time the two families had finished dinner, customers began to gradually arrive at the night market.
The first group of people who came to Feng Haidong's crayfish stall were mostly buying crayfish to take home and eat.
Most of these customers live nearby and crave Feng Haidong's spicy crayfish in the evening. They bring their own bowls and basins, buy a few yuan's worth of crayfish to take home and satisfy their craving for dinner.
Moreover, most people would specifically ask Feng Haidong for some crayfish soup.
Feng Haidong would always give him some soup, and sometimes he would also give him some salt and pepper shrimp tails as a bonus.
After Feng Haidong finished greeting the first group of guests, he returned to the dining table where the two families were eating.
Sun Yongxing said with a smile, "Haidong, your business is getting better and better. You already have your own regular customers, and these are all your old patrons."
Feng Haidong chuckled and said, "It's alright, I'd say. We've been getting more and more customers at our night market lately."
Zhao Hongxia said, "That's true. Haidong, you all go home early every day. You don't know that the night market is really crowded now, especially on weekend nights. Almost every household can have several tables occupied."
Lu Wanling said, "Then Brother Sun and Sister-in-law, your business must be booming. It must be packed with people, right?"
Zhao Hongxia said, "Yes, the place is full of people."
Sun Yongxing looked at Feng Haidong and said, "Haidong, I think you should just start a food stall too. You can set up a stove here and cook your crayfish for people. I feel like the business would definitely be better than what you are now. Of course, you would be much busier and would have to work very late."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "It's okay to be a little busy. How can you make money if you're not busy?"
Sun Yongxing laughed when he heard this, thinking it would be good to have Feng Haidong as a companion.
However, Feng Haidong continued, "Brother Sun, sister-in-law, I am indeed planning to do something big, but I don't intend to set up a food stall in the night market. I'm already looking for a storefront, and I plan to open a shop."
"Open a shop?" Sun Yongxing and Zhao Hongxia were both surprised.
Feng Haidong said seriously, "Yes, I plan to open a shop specializing in stir-fried crayfish. After opening the shop, I will also add several different crayfish flavors."
Sun Yongxing and Zhao Hongxia were even more surprised after hearing this.
Sun Yongxing thought for a moment and said, "So, Haidong, you're planning to open a restaurant that serves crayfish?"
