Others are bustling with purchasing New Year supplies, but Qi Qi doesn't need them. She usually buys whole pigs, cattle, and sheep, and only buys seasonal vegetables and fruits, never out-of-season ones.
So relatively speaking, their food is quite healthy.
To save money, the mother and son almost never go out. Qi Qi either livestreams or creates, while her child stays at home solving puzzles, and in the evenings she takes him to nearby parks for walks.
