"Mom, so were you happy today?"
"Of course I was! Oh man, you should have seen it. I never knew setting up a stall could be so much fun. It was an absolute blast."
Xie Ning smiled from the heart. "As long as you're happy, Mom."
Song You'ai beamed at her daughter. "Even though I sold them at a loss, my earnings today were still pretty decent."
As she spoke, she tossed a plastic bag of Crystal Cores onto the table. "Look, four hundred Crystal Cores. Not bad, right? This is what I made from selling ice for half a day. I think it's pretty good."
The whole family laughed as they sat around the dining table.
Xie Ning collected the Crystal Cores from the table, then brought out two hundred pouches of Energy Water from the living room. She handed one to her mother. "Mom, take a few sips and see."
Song You'ai took the pouch and gulped down a few mouthfuls, then looked at her in astonishment. "This water...?"
"How do you feel?"
