After returning home that day, An Yumo sat in her room, thinking hard about writing a letter to her parents. It was her first time doing such a formal thing, and she deleted, revised, and rewrote it many times. It took her three days to finish it. After writing the last word, it was already dark, but she was in a good mood. She jumped out of the room and secretly put the letter in her parents' bedroom.

At dinner, An Yumo was well-behaved and quiet. An's parents were not used to it and felt that their daughter had become a different person. After dinner, An's mother returned to the bedroom and found a letter on the dressing table.

"Huh? What is this?" She became puzzled and picked up the letter to look at it.

The envelope read: Dear parents, Yu Mo.

"Her father, come and see." Mother An called Father An to come over.

"What's wrong?" Father An hurried over.

"Yumo, it seems like you wrote a letter." Mother An said, handing the letter to Father An.

Father An took the letter, looked it up and down, and then opened it.

"Dad and Mom: Thank you for your hard work in raising our daughter for eighteen years." After reading the first sentence, An's mother was shocked.

"What does this kid want to do?"

"Don't be anxious, look down." Father An was relatively calm.

"Recently, you two have been quite worried about my daughter's marriage proposal. My daughter has also done something disobedient, which is really unfilial. But my daughter has no intention, so please listen to me."

"My daughter has been working in a Chinese restaurant with my father since she was young. Seeing my father busy in the kitchen and the hall, I admired him and determined to become a person like him. Seeing the restaurant full of people, my daughter is happy. Seeing the guests smiling, my daughter is happy. Last year, I went to my grandparents' house and entered a restaurant. I saw that the owner was a woman. The woman was calm and at ease, and the hotel business was booming. My daughter yearned for it and never forgot it."

"Yumo actually has such thoughts." Only then did An's father and mother understand.

"As my daughter grows older, her parents worry about her lifelong affairs, and she is grateful. However, once she gets married, she is afraid that her dreams will never come true. My daughter is confined to her house by her parents, and she is depressed and has no place to vent. It was not intentional to offend her parents."

"I hope that you can understand my daughter's wish, postpone the marriage plan, and allow me to do whatever I want in your restaurant. This is my only wish in my life, please grant it. Yumo kowtows."

After a long time, An's mother said, "How about, let's postpone the marriage discussion for now." There was a hint of sob in her voice. She thought of herself when she was young and felt emotional.

"But after all, she is so old. The daughter of the Ding family is the same age as her and has been married for almost a year."

"Yumo is a few months younger, and the Lin family married in advance. It's not too late for Yumo to do this." Mother An said, "Wait another year, who is he, is there anyone who is not worthy of my daughter?"

"You are quite confident." Father An said. He couldn't help laughing as he looked at the handwriting on the letter paper, which was written neatly and beautifully but was still a little crooked.

"Of course. My daughter is beautiful, has a good personality, is kind-hearted, and is a great cook. Naturally, she is the best," said An's mother.

"Well, okay then. Shall we talk about it tonight or tomorrow?" asked An's father.

"I'm afraid Yumo won't be able to sleep today, so let's just pester her a little. This child is a little impatient." said An's mother.

"Are you willing to do so?" asked An's father.

"You have to do it even if you are reluctant. She is determined to be a boss, so of course she has to be able to tolerate such a small thing. Let's teach her a lesson." Mother An smiled.

"Okay, then let's pretend we didn't see it today." Father An also smiled.

On the other side, An Yumo was chewing her fingers in the room.

"Did Mom and Dad see it?"

“What will be your reaction after seeing this?”

"Ah—what should I do? This is so annoying."

An Yumo's hair was about to explode.

"Miss, it's time to wash up and go to bed." Xiaoqin came in with some water.

An Yumo looked out the window, stamped her feet, and went to wash her face helplessly. After washing up, she lay on the bed, tossing and turning. Summer had not yet arrived, and she felt hot all over and couldn't sleep.

Early the next morning, An Yumo arrived at the dining room with red and swollen eyes.

An's father and mother had not arrived yet, so she helped set the table and stood in the house, feeling extremely nervous. There was a sound of footsteps, and An Yumo looked up and saw that her younger brother and sister had already arrived, followed by her father and mother.

"Dad, Mom, good morning." An Yumo said softly, then secretly looked at their expressions.

"Yumo is up so early today. She is becoming more and more sensible." said An's mother.

"These are what a daughter should do." An Yumo replied. She was screaming in her heart, "Did he see the letter?"

"Please sit down and eat." said An's father.

The family started to eat, and for a while the only sounds in the room were the clinking of spoons and bowls. An Yumo continued to observe her parents' expressions while drinking porridge, but her father and mother still looked as if nothing had happened.

Seeing their daughter's condition, An's father and mother smiled at each other and couldn't help but speak:

"Yumo, please stay for a while after dinner."

"Ah?" An Yumo was stunned. "Yes!" she responded quickly.

His sister-in-law left, the dishes and chopsticks were put away, and An Yumo sat upright in the chair.

"Your father and I have seen the letter you wrote," said An's mother.

"Then..." An Yumo waited for what to come.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why write a letter? Your mother and I almost thought something had happened." said An's father.

"I'm sorry, Dad and Mom." An Yumo lowered her head.

"Look up. Don't you want to be a boss in the future? You can't act like this." An's mother said sternly.

"Yes." An Yumo straightened up.

"I have discussed this with your mother and have agreed to your request to postpone the marriage discussion. If you want to go to the restaurant, just come with me." said An's father.

"Dad..." An Yumo started to cry.

"Okay, we are all family. How can your parents not love you?" Mother An came over and hugged her daughter.

An Yumo was touched and hugged her mother and cried. Ever since Ding Xirui got married, she had been troubled by the marriage plan for a long time, but now it was finally put on hold, which made her overjoyed.

After a moment, she wiped her tears and said, "Dad, I just have an idea and want to discuss it with you."

"You've gotten into the mood so quickly." said An's mother, touching her daughter's hair.

"Yes, mother. This is what Xi Rui and I came up with. We have been discussing it for a long time." An Yumo showed an excited look, and then continued: "I want to introduce nourishing dishes in our restaurant."

"You are talking nonsense. What food is not good for your health?" Father An was originally expecting something, but he was a little disappointed when he heard An Yumo say this.

"Dad, listen to me carefully. Yuxin had a bad stomach and no strength before. Did she get better after eating the food I cooked?"

"Well, that's a good point."

"Xi Rui's husband's family runs a clinic, and there are many patients every day. Some of their illnesses require medication, while others require diet. I think it would be a new feature of the restaurant to introduce some dishes with conditioning effects and specially indicate their functions on the menu."

"I've never seen this before." Father An began to ponder.

"That's right. Nowadays, there is basically no difference between the inns and restaurants on Xishi Street. If our restaurant can innovate from time to time, we will definitely have more and more customers." An Yumo continued.

"Hmm..." Father An continued to ponder. After a moment, he said:

"It's possible, but this has to be sustained. It can't just be done for a while and then disappear."

"Of course, Xirui knows medicine, and I will ask her for help when I need to make any dish." An Yumo stood up happily.

"Xirui is already married, does she have time to do these?" asked An's mother.

"Mom, don't worry. Xirui wrote to me the day before yesterday and told me that she is no longer staying at home every day, but can go to the clinic. She will write to me from time to time to tell me some news." An Yumo said.

"Then you must thank them very much." said An's mother.

"Well, Xirui said that as doctors, they also want to spread food that is beneficial to the human body through the restaurant. They care about their patients very much." An Yumo replied, "I have recently been developing a tofu stew that nourishes the liver and kidneys and is especially beneficial to the elderly. It is almost done." She continued.

"In that case, let's do it this way. How about launching one a month?" asked An's father.

"Okay, no problem." An Yumo raised his head and answered.
