"I almost forgot! Mom, I still have hairy crabs!"

Jiang Duoduo happily ran to the living room and gave Chen Shuyue the hairy crabs that Qian Lai brought her.

"You kid, why are you eating and taking things with you when you go to your friend's house for dinner? Next Sunday you have a day off and ask your friends to come over for dinner. Mom will make you something delicious."

As Chen Shuyue spoke, she picked up a hairy crab that Jiang Duoduo brought back.

It looks very big. When you open the crab shell, there is a lot of crab roe inside. The crab meat is very delicious. You can tell at a glance that it is a high-quality crab that is worth a lot of money.

When she worked as a helper at Longfa Restaurant, she often cooked in the kitchen, and steamed hairy crabs were the best way to tell whether the crabs were fresh or not.

When Jiang Duoduo heard Chen Shuyue ask her to invite her friends to dinner next Sunday, her face froze. Could she and Qian Lai still make an appointment to have dinner together?

I don’t know about the future, at least not in the next few days!

"Mom, we've already made an appointment to eat out next time. Don't worry, I'll treat you then!"

Jiang Duoduo said to Chen Shuyue half-truthfully.

"That's good! Duoduo, remember this: even though we don't have much money, we must never develop the bad habit of taking advantage of others, okay?"

"Yeah... I understand, Mom. Let's eat quickly, otherwise this delicious crab pot will get cold."

"Okay, okay...let's eat the crab pot!"

The mother and daughter were talking and laughing. You picked up a chicken foot for me and I picked up a crab for you. We ate the crab stew until seven o'clock in the evening.

After dinner, Jiang Duoduo, who was a little full, pulled Chen Shuyue downstairs, intending to take her for a walk to the community gym.

"Duoduo, there's a stall selling fried noodles outside the market where I buy groceries. Business seems pretty good. What do you think about me setting up a stall selling glutinous rice balls?"

"Your boss's B&B won't open until next year, and there's still more than a month until the Chinese New Year. Mom's bored staying at home. Wouldn't it be nice to set up a stall and make some money?"

Chen Shuyue took her daughter's arm and casually mentioned that she wanted to go out and set up a stall.

"Mom! If you're bored, just watch some dramas and grow some flowers, or I can get you a cat. We won't be setting up stalls anymore! The money I earn now is enough for us to live comfortably."

Jiang Duoduo knew her mother Chen Shuyue's personality. She couldn't stay idle at home for a whole day, but there were urban management officers everywhere in the city. It was too tiring to set up a stall and hide from them everywhere.

"Duoduo, the kind of retirement life you talk about, raising flowers and pets, is only for the wealthy in the city. In our countryside, even those from poorer families have to work in the fields when they're seventy. Mom knows your income isn't bad now, but I can still work, so I want to save more money to reduce your burden in the future."

Among Chen Shuyue's children, the youngest daughter Jiang Duoduo is the most sensible and filial.

Now she is not worried about the other children, but the fourth child is still wandering around outside. She doesn’t know how he is doing after so many years?

Whenever she thought of the fourth brother, Chen Shuyue would feel very depressed, and she didn't know where to look for him in such a vast crowd of people.

When Jiang Duoduo was in college, she left a message on a popular Douyin video about finding her family, hoping her fourth sister, Jiang Niandi, would see it and contact her. But her message fell on deaf ears, with absolutely no response.

"Mom! If you really want to find a job, then we won't set up a stall anymore. How about opening a breakfast shop?"

Jiang Duoduo suddenly remembered that she had just bought a store.

Ms. Chen Shuyue is not exaggerating when it comes to the glutinous rice balls she makes; everyone who has eaten them says they are delicious.

When Jiang Duoduo was in junior high school in her hometown, Chen Shuyue would always take her to school on a tricycle and sell the glutinous rice balls she made herself at a stall near the school.

A thick layer of glutinous rice is filled with minced meat, diced mushrooms, pickles and crispy fried dough sticks.

It was fragrant and crispy when you took a big bite. Students who had not eaten breakfast came early and lined up in a long queue.

Especially in the cold winter, holding such a warm rice ball in your hand tastes so delicious.

"Opening our own breakfast shop? It's a good idea, but the cost is too high. We can't afford the rent in J City!"

When Chen Shuyue heard that she could open her own breakfast shop, her eyes lit up instantly, but they dimmed immediately after a while.

The cost of opening a store is too high, so I used to just sell rice balls at a stall in town.

This is in J City. If my own store doesn’t do well, I’ll suffer a huge loss!

"Mom! We're so lucky! I went out today and saw a shop for rent on Qinfen Road. The rent seems to be only 20,000 yuan a year. I'll call and ask tomorrow. If I can bargain a little bit more, how about we open our own breakfast shop?"

"Duoduo, are you serious? Are there any shops with such low rents in J City? Shops in our town now cost over 30,000 yuan a year. Are you kidding your mother?"

Chen Shuyue looked at her daughter with some suspicion. She felt that Duoduo had become a little different since she graduated from college and started working.

How should I put it! I became more confident and my luck got better and better.

"Mom, why would I fool you? I'll contact them tomorrow. Even if the store owner doesn't lower the price, I think we can still do it for 20,000 yuan a year. I'll take you to the store to have a look then."

"Duoduo, Mom is telling you, there are a lot of scammers out there right now. Don't just think the rent is cheap and transfer the money to them before signing anything."

Chen Shuyue was still worried, so she pulled Jiang Duoduo aside and gave her some instructions.

"I know! How could I be deceived even though I've already graduated from college?"

Jiang Duoduo thought to herself, you can cheat on my feelings, but there's no way you can cheat me of my money! Hahahaha...

The two chatted all the way and unknowingly walked to the community gym.

"Mom, there's a gym, a library, and a cafe here. They all close at 10:30 p.m. I'll take you for coffee. I heard that with a homeowner's card, you can get a 20% discount. It's a great deal."

This small building in the community belonged to the developer and was not for sale at the time.

They opened a cafe on the first floor, a library on the second floor, and a gym on the third floor, which are operated and managed by Jingshengjiayuan's property management.

This was also Jiang Duoduo's first time to spend money here. She pulled Chen Shuyue, who was still a little overwhelmed, towards the coffee shop in front.

"No, no, coffee is for you young people. Mom is not used to it. Why don't you go in and buy a cup? I'll wait for you outside."

"Mom...if you don't want coffee, I'll get you some milk tea. If that doesn't work, we have orange juice. We just walked around and are tired. Let's go in and order a drink and sit down to rest for a while."

Jiang Duoduo knew that Chen Shuyue was usually frugal and was reluctant to even buy a bottle of water when she went out.

She had to slowly change Ms. Chen Shuyue's consumption concept, otherwise even if they made a lot of money in the future, it would just be numbers in the card.

If your financial conditions allow, spend appropriately, go to places you have longed to go, and buy things you have been looking forward to for a long time. These can all enhance your sense of happiness in life.
