As Bai Zhexi listened to her daughter's ambitious narration of her plans, she looked at the three empty cans on the table, at the small book with two pages full of notes, and then at her passionate daughter, and felt as if she were dreaming.

Everything in front of her was unbelievable.

"You mean you've sold fifty pounds of cucumber sauce?" Bai Zhexi confirmed nervously.

"Well, we can't get the money for now, but we'll get the money after the cucumbers in the restaurant are sold out. A pound isn't expensive, just a dollar."

Bai Zhexi could not help but say, "A dollar is not a small sum. We can buy cucumbers at thirty cents a catty, and in addition to the cost of the materials, a catty's capital is at most fifty cents. That way, we can at least earn fifty cents."

When Wan Chao'er heard this, she revealed a smile. Her price was quite suitable, but it was not as much as the restaurant's profit.

"You're right. In three days, we must prepare at least fifty catties of cucumber sauce."

Bai Zhexi finally believed her daughter's words. She couldn't help but grab Wan Chu'er's hand and tightly hold it.

"Chu'er, you've done such a big thing in the afternoon. It must've been hard to talk to so many restaurants.

Do you know how happy your mother is that you can do this? Mom is not happy because you sold a 50 catty cucumber sauce, but because, our Chu'er has finally grown up and knows how to pity your mother. If your father knew, how happy would he be …"

Bai Zhexi was a little incoherent as she chattered on and on. Now, she finally believed that her well-behaved Little Chu had returned.

She felt that her afternoon run had not been in vain, that she could do something for her loved ones.

It was more satisfying and uplifting than putting on a new outfit or beating up Liu Li.

"Mom, from tomorrow onwards, you will have to work hard to make pickled cucumbers. I still have to go to school, so I can only come back at night to help you." Wan Chao'er said gently.

"Alright, I'll do these. I can do it by myself. You go to school and focus on your studies. It's only fifty catties of pickled cucumber. Mom will be able to cook it in two days."

"More than fifty pounds of cucumber sauce, it's best to make other pickles, such as radishes, bamboo shoots, lotus roots, peanuts, and so on. I remember that the other pickles you made were also delicious. In addition to the cucumber sauce, we can also do some work to sell to the restaurant. "

Bai Zhexi smiled and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that she was so happy, Wan Chao'er took the opportunity to say, "Mom, don't set up a shoe repair stall these few days. Just make some pickles at home. There are a lot of pickles to be made, so you'd better cook for half a day and rest for half a day."

Her daughter being so concerned for her couldn't dampen her enthusiasm; moreover, it was very easy for Bai Zhexi to agree to make so many dishes that would earn income.

After tidying up the dishes, Bai Zhexi began to work. She wanted to clean up all the pots and pans that she needed for tonight and wash them. She was only waiting for tomorrow morning to go to the market to buy vegetables.

It wasn't a small task, but she wouldn't let Wan Chao'er get her hands on it.

"Chu'er, your studies are the most important. You have been smart since young and learned everything very quickly. But ever since high school, your grades … If you can improve your grades, Mom will be happier. "

Seeing the hopeful look on Bai Zhexi's face, Wan Chu'er didn't say anything and obediently returned to her room.

As long as she could make Bai Zhexi happy, she was willing to do anything.
