At dawn, soft light shines through the thin clouds and falls in front of the window, as if covering the whole world with a layer of golden gauze.

A new day has begun quietly like this.

Perhaps because of the exhaustion from the journey the day before, everyone slept particularly well last night.

When the first ray of sunlight playfully filtered in through the gap in the curtains, it was like nature's gentle wake-up call, and the three of them woke up almost at the same time.

Cheng Hai was the first to sit up from the bed. He felt a sense of comfort throughout his body, as if every cell in his body was reactivated, full and full of strength.

He turned his head to look at Wang Jianguo who was standing beside him. He couldn't help but think of what Wang Jianguo said yesterday. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he said with some genuine admiration:

"Jianguo, you really hit the nail on the head. Look, after a good rest, my whole spirit and energy are immediately different."

"I feel like I have endless energy to do anything. I would go climb a mountain or run a marathon right now without hesitation!"

Wang Jianguo was a little embarrassed by Cheng Hai's sudden praise. He raised his hand and scratched his head, a blush appeared on his face, and he smiled naively and responded:

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I just said it casually, but it does feel good to have a good night's sleep."

"I was so exhausted from traveling yesterday that my bones were almost falling apart. Now, I am back to full health."

As he spoke, he stretched out his body, and his joints made a crackling sound, as if his body was playing a dynamic melody.

He Yushui was combing her hair carefully. When she heard the conversation between the two, she paused, her face full of energy, and she quickly echoed:

"Yes, yes! I feel full of energy and vitality now."

"I was thinking last night that if I felt better today, I would go to the supply and marketing cooperative for a good stroll."

"Just think about it, the products in the supply and marketing cooperative are complete and affordable, from daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needles and thread, to those fashionable fabrics and beautiful enamel cups, everything is available."

"Many of them are not available in our supply and marketing cooperative. We may not be able to see every corner even if we spend a whole day shopping. Now we have the energy, we can't miss it."

When He Yushui thought of the dazzling array of goods in the supply and marketing cooperative, his eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he was already in that bustling shopping scene.

Wang Jianguo looked at He Yushui's enthusiastic expression and couldn't help but smile, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes also smoothed out.

He stood up, walked to the window, gently opened the curtains and looked out. The streets in the early morning were still shrouded in silence, with only a few pedestrians walking hurriedly by.

Wang Jianguo turned around and patiently explained to He Yushui and Cheng Hai:

"Yushui, your idea is beautiful, but look outside, it's just dawn and the supply and marketing cooperative is not open yet."

"We can't just sit there and wait. How can we go to the supply and marketing cooperative on an empty stomach? I heard that the breakfast shop on the corner has thin-skinned buns with big fillings, and the rice porridge is fragrant and sticky."

"It's steaming hot. After eating a bowl, your whole body will be warm. Let's go there and have a good meal to fill our stomachs."

"After we have eaten and drunk our fill, the supply and marketing cooperative will probably be open to welcome customers. Then we can take our time to shop around. I guarantee we will have a more enjoyable time."

As Wang Jianguo spoke, he rubbed his hands. He seemed to have smelled the aroma of breakfast, and his eyes were full of anticipation for the delicious food.

Cheng Hai listened to what the two said and stood up, stretched his waist, and nodded in agreement:

"Jianguo is right. My stomach has been growling for a long time. Let's pack up and head to the breakfast shop."

"Only after eating a full meal can you have the energy to start this wonderful day. The 'Taobao trip' to the supply and marketing cooperative will be put off for a while."

After that, the three of them smiled at each other, and the room was suddenly filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. A beautiful day began from this warm morning.

The early morning sun gradually grew warmer, dispelling the last trace of coolness, and the streets slowly woke up, becoming bustling and noisy.

Wang Jianguo walked in front with familiarity, his steps brisk and steady. From time to time, he looked back at He Yushui and Cheng Hai to make sure they were following him closely.

"Follow me. There is a breakfast stand not far ahead. The food there tastes very authentic. I guarantee you will want more after you try it."

Wang Jianguo turned his head, with a confident smile on his face, and spoke in a bright voice.

Not far away, a breakfast stall with steaming hot food came into view.

The simple tables and chairs were neatly arranged. The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a kind face, who was busy working briskly.

The fried dough sticks in the pan sizzle in the embrace of the hot oil, gradually turning golden and crispy.

In the steamer, the plump white buns emit an enticing aroma, and baskets of freshly-baked steamed buns are steaming.

The three of them found an empty seat and sat down. Wang Jianguo greeted the stall owner enthusiastically:

"Boss, give me three bowls of soy milk, a basket of steamed buns, three fried dough sticks, and three tea eggs."

After saying that, he turned to look at He Yushui and Cheng Hai, his eyes full of joy of sharing delicious food.

"Try it. The soy milk here is made with a traditional stone mill. It has an original flavor and is very fragrant."

"The fillings for the buns are freshly made every day. There are several flavors, such as pork and green onion, chives and eggs. They are delicious."

Soon, the steaming hot breakfast was served on the table. He Yushui took a bite of the bun, and the fresh filling spread in her mouth instantly. She couldn't help but brighten her eyes and gave a thumbs up:

"Wow, this bun is so delicious, with lots of fillings and thin skin. It tastes amazing!"

Cheng Hai also nodded and drank the soy milk in big gulps, with some white foam on the corners of his mouth. He said indistinctly:

"Indeed, this soy milk is very mellow. I haven't tasted such authentic soy milk in a long time."

Wang Jianguo looked at the two people eating happily and smiled even more brightly. He chatted with the stall owner while eating. For a while, the breakfast stall was filled with laughter.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them stood up contentedly and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

The slightly old but age-old door of the supply and marketing cooperative was closed, and a few people were standing sparsely at the door, also waiting for the door to open.

Wang Jianguo estimated that it was still early, so he found a warm place to stand with He Yushui and Cheng Hai.

"We are here a little early. We still have to wait for the director to come to work."
