The boy, who lives in Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, spent his summer break helping his father run three food stands from early in the morning until late at night. While his father cooks, the boy sells various food items, including sliced ​​pancakes, soy sauce pancakes and porridge, the Henan Broadcasting System reported. In a video posted on Weibo on Wednesday, the boy cuts the pancakes and quickly packs them into plastic bags while preparing other food. When asked how long he works at the food counter each day, the boy stated, “If I get up earlier, I’ll start at 7 or 8 in the morning, otherwise I can put it off at 8 or 9 in the morning, I’ll finish it by 11 evening or midnight.” Although he would like to have fun with his friends, the boy expressed that he helps his father as he is busy. He added that he understands the difficulty his father faces as a single parent and does not want his father to have to endure the work alone.
