Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan stood at the corner of the night market, holding a plate of hot stinky tofu. She had been running a high fever for several days, but in order to allow her brother Zhou Guo to go to school, she did not give up her job of selling stinky tofu. This night market was her only source of livelihood, and she knew that only by working hard could she change her life.

Zhou Wanwan comes to this night market every night to sell the pungent smell of stinky tofu. Although she is weak, she still works tirelessly. Seeing her tenacious spirit, people feel sympathy and admiration for her.

When Zhou Wanwan was about to hand a portion of stinky tofu to a customer, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. She barely supported her body, but her face was frighteningly pale. Seeing this, the customer hurried forward to support her: "Little girl, what's wrong with you? You look uncomfortable."

Zhou Wanwan forced a smile, and through the blood at the corners of her mouth she said, "It's okay, maybe I'm too tired." She handed a portion of stinky tofu to the customer with trembling hands, but suddenly fainted at this moment.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room. She touched her forehead and found that the high fever was still there. Zhou Wanwan looked around and found that it was a simple room with cartoons and star posters on the walls. When she was wondering, the door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man walked in. He looked rough and honest. He was Uncle Wang, the neighbor next door. Uncle Wang saw Zhou Wanwan wake up, and hurried to the bedside and asked with concern: "Little girl, you finally woke up. You really scared me just now! Why did you force yourself like this?"

Zhou Wanwan lowered her head in shame and said softly: "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, I don't have any money. In order to support my brother's education, I can only continue to sell stinky tofu. I know my health is not good, but..."

Uncle Wang interrupted her and said, "Little girl, stop talking. It's really too dangerous for you to do this. No matter how hard it is, you can't hurt your body. I really admire you for your persistence for your brother. Here is a bowl of egg fried rice that I made. Have some first."

Zhou Wanwan took the bowl and smelled the aroma of fried rice. She almost couldn't hold back her tears. How long had it been since she had a hot meal? As she savored the taste of egg fried rice, it seemed as if all her fatigue and hardship had temporarily left her.

Uncle Wang watched her eat quietly, his eyes full of endless concern. He suddenly said, "Little girl, I have a suggestion. Since you are not in good health, why don't you consider finding an easier job? This way you can take better care of yourself and provide better living conditions for your brother."

Zhou Wanwan put down her chopsticks and fell into deep thought. She knew that Uncle Wang was right, but deep down she was unwilling to give up. She decided to persevere, not only for her brother, but also to prove her own strength and courage.

Zhou Wanwan finally earned some money from selling stinky tofu, and she wanted to send her brother Zhou Guo to school so that he could have a good future. However, when she told Zhou Guo the good news, Zhou Guo's classmates laughed at them.

"Haha, Zhou Guo's sister sells stinky tofu!" a classmate said viciously.

“Stinky tofu? Isn’t it very stinky? You must be very poor!” another classmate laughed.

Zhou Guo felt very embarrassed and wronged. He lowered his head and said weakly: "My sister didn't sell stinky tofu because we were poor. She did it to support my schooling."

"Huh, selling stinky tofu again, how shameful!" The classmates laughed at him.

Zhou Guo felt very angry and sad, he rushed out of the classroom and burst into tears. Zhou Wanwan looked at her brother's back, her heart aching.

"Guoguo, don't be sad." Zhou Wanwan walked over and comforted her softly.

"Sister, they all laughed at me, saying that I had a sister who sold stinky tofu." Zhou Guo said sobbing.

"They don't understand. They don't know how much we've sacrificed." Zhou Wanwan gently patted her brother's shoulder and said, "Sister is willing to do anything for you."

Zhou Guo raised her head and looked at her sister with tears in her eyes: "Sister, I don't want you to sell stinky tofu anymore. It's too embarrassing."

A trace of pain flashed across Zhou Wanwan's eyes, and she took a deep breath: "Guoguo, you know what? Although stinky tofu stinks, it represents my love for you and my hope for the future. I don't care what others think of me, as long as you can have a good life."

Zhou Guo felt his sister's determined gaze and strong will, and a sense of admiration and understanding began to arise in his heart.

The next day, Zhou Wanwan still insisted on selling stinky tofu. When the classmates saw that Zhou Guo had not changed when he entered the classroom, they began to laugh at him again.

"Guoguo, your sister is still selling stinky tofu! How pitiful!"

"She's such a disgrace that she can't even find a decent job."

Zhou Guo did not answer, but just sat in his seat silently. He decided not to argue with his classmates anymore, but to prove his sister's greatness with his own actions.

A few days later, the class held a speech contest. The students prepared their speeches, hoping to win the contest. But Zhou Guo did not prepare anything.

On the day of the competition, Zhou Guo stood on the podium. He looked at the contemptuous eyes of the audience and a surge of courage rose in his heart.

"My dear classmates, I didn't prepare a speech today because I believe that real strength comes from within. My sister is a vendor selling stinky tofu, but she is willing to give everything for me to have a good future. Although her job is ridiculed, she never gives up. She insists on doing this job and uses her own efforts to provide me with the opportunity to study. I am proud to have such a great sister!"

The students in the audience fell silent; Zhou Guo’s words touched the softest part of their hearts.

In the following days, Zhou Guo's speech became a hot topic in the class. The classmates began to get to know Zhou Wanwan again, and they understood her efforts and dedication.......

Zhou Guo's speech changed the students' view of Zhou Wanwan. They no longer laughed at and discriminated against her, but began to respect and understand her. However, Zhou Wanwan did not stop selling stinky tofu. She still persisted and worked hard for her brother's future with her own hands.

One day, when Zhou Wanwan was preparing fresh stinky tofu in front of the stall, a strange woman suddenly came over.

"Are you Zhou Wanwan who sells stinky tofu?" the woman asked.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, feeling at a loss.

"I am the president of a large restaurant group. I heard that your stinky tofu is very famous. I would like to cooperate with you. We can promote your stinky tofu all over the country so that more people can taste your delicious food."

Zhou Wanwan was shocked. She had never thought that there would be such an opportunity.

“Thank you for your recognition, but I’m just an ordinary vendor and I don’t know how to run such a big business.” Zhou Wanwan said modestly.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to make your stinky tofu, and leave the rest to us. We believe that your stinky tofu will be popular all over the country!" the woman said confidently.

Zhou Wanwan thought about it and finally nodded and agreed to the cooperation.

A few months later, Zhou Wanwan's stinky tofu became popular all over the country. Her stinky tofu shops were all over major cities, and people lined up to taste this delicacy. Zhou Guo looked at her sister's achievements and felt proud.

However, success did not change Zhou Wanwan's original intention. She still insisted on frying stinky tofu herself every day, using the freshest tofu and unique seasonings to bring endless taste enjoyment to customers.

Zhou Wanwan's stinky tofu shop business is becoming more and more prosperous, but with it come more challenges and pressures.

One day, Zhou Wanwan received a phone call. The other party's voice was cold and sarcastic: "Zhou Wanwan, do you think you can make a lot of money by selling stinky tofu? You are too naive!"

Zhou Wanwan's heart tightened, she knew this was a threat from her competitors, and she decided to fight back against these unfair competitors.

So, in a TV show, Zhou Wanwan boldly expressed her point of view: "Although stinky tofu stinks, it has a unique flavor and charm. I believe that as long as we make it with care and use real ingredients, our stinky tofu will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the market."

These words resonated with many viewers. They began to re-understand stinky tofu and were full of confidence in Zhou Wanwan.

However, competitors did not stop there. They began to resort to more nasty means, including counterfeiting, smearing and slander.

Faced with these difficulties, Zhou Wanwan did not back down. She organized a professional team to develop new flavors and innovative products. She also actively participated in various food exhibitions and competitions to continuously improve her skills and quality.

Zhou Guo saw his sister's persistence and hard work, and he decided to be her strong support. He began to help his sister deal with some affairs, learn business management knowledge, and prepare for future development...

Zhou Wanwan's stinky tofu shop is becoming more and more popular, and her brand is becoming more and more influential. However, success does not satisfy her, and she always maintains her pursuit of perfection.

One day, Zhou Wanwan received a call from a mysterious person: "Zhou Wanwan, I am an investor. I am interested in your stinky tofu brand and am willing to provide you with funds and resources to help you take your business to the next level."

Zhou Wanwan was surprised and grateful, she knew this was a rare opportunity. However, she also understood that success is not just about wealth and fame.

She thought about it and finally decided to reject the investor's proposal.

“Thank you for your recognition and help, but I choose to go on my own. I believe that only by adhering to my original intention and principles can I truly make stinky tofu that satisfies myself and my customers.”

Zhou Guo looked at his sister's firm statement and was filled with endless respect and admiration for her.

The road ahead is still long, and Zhou Wanwan and Zhou Guo will face more challenges and difficulties. However, they are not afraid, they believe that as long as they persevere, they will be able to create their own brilliance...

Zhou Wanwan and Zhou Guo will face more opportunities and challenges. Future expansion means broader development space and higher goals.

In the world of stinky tofu, things are turbulent. Zhou Wanwan will face more competitors and market changes, and she needs to keep learning and adapting. At the same time, she must maintain her pursuit of quality, stay true to her original aspiration, and always take the taste of customers as her starting point.

Zhou Guo will become an important supporter and helper of his sister's career. He will learn more knowledge and skills to prepare for future development. He will bear more responsibilities and pressure, but he believes that as long as he has his sister's guidance and his own efforts, they will be able to achieve greater success.

Zhou Guo sat at his desk at home, thinking about his future direction. He had already graduated from high school, and his sister Zhou Wanwan hoped that he could continue his studies and go to college, but he was not interested.

"Zhou Guo, you have to study hard so that you can have a bright future." Zhou Wanwan looked at her brother kindly, hoping that he could listen to her advice.

Zhou Guo raised his head, frowned and said, "Sister, I really don't want to study anymore. I think there is a good opportunity now. We can sell fried stinky tofu together. The business will definitely be very prosperous."

After hearing this suggestion, Zhou Wanwan smiled and shook her head: "Zhou Guo, you know? Selling fried stinky tofu is a hard job, and it is not a long-term solution. I hope you can study hard and have a better future."

Zhou Guo sighed, lowered his head and stopped talking. He understood his sister's expectations, but deep down, his longing for fried stinky tofu was real.

A few days later, Zhou Guo met a classmate at school. The classmate was a very adventurous person. He introduced Zhou Guo to a business opportunity about fried stinky tofu.

"Zhou Guo, do you know? There is a new snack stand recently that specializes in selling fried stinky tofu. I heard that the business is very prosperous and makes a lot of money." The classmate said excitedly.

After hearing the news, Zhou Guo's desire was rekindled. He began to wonder if he could persuade his sister to join the industry and open a fried stinky tofu stall together.

After returning home, Zhou Guo found his sister and carefully explained to her his plan and the business opportunities provided by his classmates.

"Sister, listen to me, this is a really good opportunity. We can open a fried stinky tofu stall together, and the business will definitely be booming." Zhou Guo said hopefully.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her brother with gentle but firm eyes: "Zhou Guo, I understand your thoughts, but I still hope that you can study hard and have a better future. Selling fried stinky tofu is not a long-term solution."

Zhou Guo felt disappointed. He understood his sister's worries, but his dream of becoming a successful fried stinky tofu stall owner remained unchanged.

A few days later, Zhou Guo accidentally met a fried stinky tofu stall owner at school. His name was Lao Li. Lao Li was an experienced stall owner and he told Zhou Guo his story.

"Zhou Guo, you have to know that selling fried stinky tofu is not easy. I was once an ignorant young man who dreamed of opening a stall of my own. However, the reality is cruel. At the beginning, I also faced many difficulties and challenges."

Zhou Guo listened attentively to what Lao Li said and felt his deep persistence and hard work.

Lao Li continued, "But I never gave up. I believed that as long as I worked hard, I would succeed. Now, my fried stinky tofu stall is doing very well and making a lot of money. But all this was achieved with countless hard work and efforts."

After listening to Lao Li's story, Zhou Guo's hesitation and confusion began to slowly dissipate. He gradually understood the conflict between his sister's expectations and his own dreams...
