Just stay at home for a few days, and then set off for town. My parents packed bacon, cabbage, dried bamboo shoots, chopped peppers, dried sweet potatoes ... and asked you to take them to the city.

This idea has appeared in my dream countless times, but can it really come true? Wake up early in the morning, skid up, go out, work hard to make money, and the dream disappears.
