Mobai Supermarket.
Yu Jinsheng named the supermarket after his son.
Although some people said that using these two characters as a supermarket name didn't sound good, he still chose it.
A father won't allow anyone to say a single "no" to his child.
Originally, there were a few people helping out at the supermarket, but since the beginning of this year, the couple has been running it on their own.
At this moment, Yu Jinsheng and Zheng Zhaoxia were checking accounts at the door.
"Old Li keeps asking us for the final payment."
"Let's stall for a bit. What, such a big supermarket can't just disappear. They're just pressuring us every day."
Looking at the huge pile of IOUs in front of him, Yu Jinsheng had a headache. It seemed that the supermarket had no choice but to close down.
If we delay any longer, we'll lose money; a day's rent is a huge expense.
"Hey, Lao Yu, look, isn't that Yu Mobai?"
Suddenly, Zheng Zhaoxia nudged him, "There's another girl."
"Our son?"
Yu Jinsheng suddenly looked up and stared for a while. "Isn't that my son? What is he doing standing on the bridge? He should be using this time to study."
Something's not right.
Zheng Zhaoxia pointed to the girl next to her, "Could it be that our son is dating someone?"
"That girl looks a bit like Mumu."
Yu Jinsheng looked at it carefully for a few moments and was quite satisfied. "It's very good. The Ji family knows the family well, and Mu Mu is also very beautiful and sensible."
"Are you stupid?"
Zheng Zhaoxia was unhappy. "The college entrance exam is coming up soon, don't let it interfere with your studies. Talk to him when you get home tonight. Once he's in college, he'll do anything as long as I don't have to hold my grandson next year, but not now."
...
"Let's go, let's go."
Yu Mobai pulled Ji Mushu's arm, "We still need to go to the mall."
Ji Mushu's head was spinning; she was still stuck on that sentence from before and couldn't hear anything else. She could only let him pull her along.
She was still wondering what Yu Mobai meant by suddenly saying all this.
Moreover, this isn't classical Chinese; the literal meaning is easy to understand.
From holding hands just now to the sweet words spoken earlier, Ji Mushu was completely led by the nose by Yu Mobai.
After all, she's just a young girl who hasn't even experienced the taste of first love yet, so how would she know all these intricacies?
Yu Mobai glanced at Ji Mushu and grinned.
His purpose today wasn't to tease Ji Mushu, but to go to Zhongxing Supermarket and gather intelligence.
Although supermarkets in 2008 had a membership system, it was not very well-developed, and promotional activities were limited to discounts and promotions.
Once inside the mall, Yu Mobai looked around and then walked towards the service desk. "Wait here for me for a moment."
"Oh," Ji Mushu replied absentmindedly, not even noticing where she was.
Then the salesperson's voice rang out, "Hello, are you looking to buy maternity and baby products?"
"ah?"
Ji Mushu was stunned for a moment. After seeing the display case clearly, her face turned red, and she ran away with her head down.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief once he reached a corner; this guy was definitely doing it on purpose.
Her small face was tense, her expression conflicted.
Throughout the journey, Yu Mobai's words constantly stirred her heartstrings.
Many people wrote her love letters during her three years of high school, but she wasn't interested in them.
But I'm about to graduate high school and go to university.
The girl's mind began to wander again.
Who doesn't want to have a sweet romance?
Girls will only fantasize more about university life.
I don't know which school Yu Mobai went to.
As she thought about it, the name popped into Ji Mushu's mind again.
"Pooh!"
...
On the other side, Yu Mobai wandered around.
In contrast to the dismal situation at his supermarket, ZTE's checkout counters had long queues.
That's normal, though. These chain supermarkets mainly make money from procurement, using the payment cycle of suppliers to rapidly expand their scale.
So it's normal that the price is slightly lower than in their supermarket.
After wandering around for a while, I found Ji Mushu in a corner. "What are you doing here?"
Ji Mushu glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"Let's go back."
The two did not exchange a single word along the way. Yu Mobai would glance at her from time to time, knowing perfectly well what she was thinking, but he did not point it out.
He simply stuffed the backpack into her hand when they parted, not caring whether she took it or not, and turned to leave, saying, "Take it back to your house first, and call me if you miss me."
Ji Mushu didn't say anything, looked at the lonely schoolbag lying on the ground, then raised her chin and crushed it, "Narcissistic!"
I was almost at the entrance of the building when I suddenly looked back, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly ran over to pick up my schoolbag.
...
After leaving the residential area, Yu Mobai walked along the road towards his family's supermarket.
Along this route, it's been a pretty good place, both in terms of location and surroundings.
There are many businesses nearby, so it should have been a bustling scene.
However, with the rise of Zhongxing Supermarket, a new commercial district has formed next to the supermarket.
Moreover, it's only two kilometers away from Mobai Supermarket, so it's practically taking away all the business in this area.
Those businesses that haven't closed yet are almost all struggling to stay afloat.
Yu Mobai silently observed the few remaining stores around him that were still standing strong, and a plan to save the supermarket slowly formed in his mind.
However, the time is not right yet; it can only be implemented after the college entrance examination.
That evening, Yu Mobai was lying in bed reading his notes when Yu Jinsheng brought in fruit.
"Did you go to that little bridge near the supermarket today?"
