“Okay, but our fish balls are handmade, so they’re a bit more expensive than our meat skewers,” Yingbao stated beforehand.
"How much?"
"7 cents"
"It's alright, give me ten skewers of fish balls first."
"Me too, I want ten skewers of fish balls too."
"I want five."
"I………………"
And so, with Yingbao and her mother Wang Yitong working together, one person scooped out the skewers and packaged them, while the other sealed them and collected the money, they were busy and happy.
After about three and a half to four hours, it was finally all sold out.
Why.
Without the help of her eldest brother Ye Yuanhang and second brother Ye Haoyu, it took two hours longer than yesterday. It was too chaotic. She and her mother Wang Yitong wished they had many hands.
"Sigh, a few more middle-aged men, also dressed in blue, walked over and saw Wang Yitong and Yingbao packing up their stall. 'Your skewers are so popular! I came yesterday but couldn't get any, and I still can't get any today.'"
"That's right, that's right. I came here yesterday and bought five skewers of meat and five skewers of vegetables to take home for my wife and kids. They loved them and asked me to bring more back today so they could eat their fill. But they're all gone... Waaah."
What should he do? Go home.
"Uncles and aunts, I'm really sorry, there really isn't any more today."
"We'll still come to set up our stall between 10:00 and 10:30 tomorrow."
"Come tomorrow..."
The group of people who wanted to buy skewers looked around but couldn't find any meat or vegetables, so they had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Not long after the others left, Wang Yitong and Yingbao had finished packing up.
After packing up, the two didn't go home immediately. Instead, they went to a spice shop on the street and bought fennel seeds, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon, and licorice root... the same "spice packet" that Ye Tianyong had bought for the braised skewers in the county last time.
After buying the noodles, Yingbao and her mother Wang Yitong felt relieved and went to a noodle stall, where they each ate a bowl.
The two of them had fish ball and seaweed soup for breakfast, then pushed their cart to their usual spot to set up a stall and sell skewers. They haven't eaten a single bite of food since then, so how could they not be hungry?
Before, when her eldest brother Ye Yuanhang and second brother Ye Haoyu were alive, they could still get takeout from restaurants or stalls to eat. Now it's just her and her mother Wang Yitong, and they're so busy that they don't have time to eat.
Why!
Some have endured it.
My two older brothers still have to take exams to officially enter the high school class. They have always been auditors before, and now that they finally have the opportunity, the family must give them their full support.
When he was an auditor, it was still his second uncle, Ye Tianwang. His second aunt, Zhou Xiayun, had previously asked someone to mediate and worked hard to secure the position for the children of the eldest and third branches of the Ye family.
After all, my family was too poor to afford the tuition before.
Throughout history, countless people have bowed down to money and reality.
...
"Mother, my eldest brother and second brother went to the city for an exam today. Do you know when they will be back?"
"Ah... they might not be back for another ten or fifteen days."
Forehead……
"Mother, why is brother so late?"
Yingbao and her mother, Wang Yitong, pushed a cart home, asking and answering each other's questions.
"Because your brother and the others have to wait for the exam results in the city, they can only come back a few days later."
"Fine, fine... this is such a mess."
"What's wrong, Yingbao? Do you miss your older brothers?"
