1980, Starting from Opening a Noodle Shop

Lin Wan has been running a noodle shop for eighteen years, leaving her husband and best friend in trouble. Suddenly, an earthquake occurred in 1997 and the house collapsed. When she opened her eyes, she went back to 1985, when her parents were worried about not having enough food stamps next month. She has long seen through the virtues of her uncle's family, and she also knows that her mother is a soft-tempered person. This time she put the old noodle shop recipe in her pocket, pulled her father's arm and said, "Dad, let's stop guarding that small grocery store, or open a noodle shop!" When she was raising funds, her uncle scolded her for "not studying well and working blindly", and also encouraged the neighbors to say that the Lin family was going to lose all their wealth. Lin Wan didn't say anything, so she cooked a bowl of spicy beef noodles and put it at the door. On the first day of the opening, the queue in front of the noodle shop was circling from one end of the street to the other. Even the salesmen from the supply and marketing cooperative sneaked out to line up. Relatives in her hometown were waiting to see her cry to apologize, but they waited and waited. What they waited for was that she opened the noodle shop into a branch, built a brick house at home, and even her father quit his temporary job and became the "second boss" of the noodle shop. People who said she was "not ashamed to be in public" now want to work in her noodle shop; colleagues who looked down on her small shop in the past can only stare at the "Xiaofan Noodle Shop" sign with envy. Lin Wan wiped her sweat and looked at the steaming chef with amusement: In these good days in the 1980s, you had to earn your own living with this bowl of noodles!
