January 1, New Year's Day.
Jiang Feng got up early, originally planning to make Wu Minqi a bowl of egg noodles and head out early to the newsstand to buy today's issue of "Taste," but he didn't expect Wu Minqi was also up, preparing to make him a bowl of Xiaomi porridge.
The two bumped into each other in the bathroom, and Wu Minqi was a bit surprised to see Jiang Feng, since he rarely got up early—probably about once a month.
Jiang Feng had already risen early on Christmas Eve, prompted by a phone call from Mrs. Wang Xiulian. That day, the store was having a promotion, and she wanted to press-gang help without paying overtime, so Jiang Feng, as cheap labor, was snagged.
It was buy one, get one free—since Christmas Eve fell on a weekend, and Wang Hao didn't have to work, Jiang Feng dragged him along too, to serve as labor.
