Zhou Xiufen, a single mother who's worked as a cashier at the community supermarket for 20 years, is so thrifty she even picks up rotten vegetables from the market to make pickles. Her newly employed daughter Xiaoman sends her 18.8 yuan from her first salary, saying, “Mom, buy some braised beef to nourish yourself.” But Zhou immediately returns the money: “I'm tired of beef—save it for your rent.” Xiaoman cries herself blind in her rental, thinking her mom嫌弃 the red envelope too small. Until she goes home on the weekend and finds her mom's old passbook—every entry like “Xiaoman's 5.2 yuan red envelope” or “Xiaoman's 10 yuan milk tea money” is carefully saved. The last page has the invoice for the laptop Xiaoman mentioned in her WeChat Moments last week. When Zhou comes home with a pound of braised beef, Xiaoman hugs the laptop box and bursts into tears: “Mom, your ‘I'm tired of it’ was just you saving every penny for my future!”
