Deng Qingling, a recent college graduate, struggled to find work due to the pandemic, so she returned to her hometown. Her grandmother, who passed away from illness, left her a silver bracelet.
...Guo Haochen: "Mom, it doesn't cost that much to buy eggs."
Five dollars can buy almost fifty eggs.
If you boil five eggs a day, they won't be finished by the New Year.
Besides, how can you eat eggs every day?
You’ll get tired of eating that!
"Just buy as many eggs as you like, and keep the rest of the money for yourself." Deng Qingling said with a smile.
Hearing this, Guo Haochen scratched his head and said to Deng Qingling with a smile: "Thank you, Mom."
If he saves a little, he can buy his mother a better birthday present.
At this moment, the boy's bright smile was as warm as the spring sunshine, making people feel infinite hope.
Deng Qingling reached out and touched Guo Haochen's head, and said softly, "My son has grown up. In two years, he will be taller than your father."
"Mom... I've grown up so much, can you please stop patting my head?" Guo Haochen felt a little embarrassed.
He is an adult already, how can you keep touching his head?
Fortunately, no one else saw it.
Deng Qingling: "Why? Now that you've grown up, you can't pat your mother on the head?
Do you dislike your mother touching your head?"
"That's not what I meant." Guo Haochen explained, "We're outside!
My son has grown up and he needs face too.
Next time when it’s just the two of us, Mom can touch me as long as she wants.”
"You're the winner!" Deng Qingling said with a smile, "Okay, go home now. Mom and Dad are going to town."
Guo Haochen responded with a "Yeah."
He helped Deng Qingling carry the sack on her shoulders.
Looking at his parents' leaving backs, Guo Haochen turned around and ran home.
Guo Jianping helped carry the cabbages to the store and rushed to catch the bus without even drinking a sip of water.

My eldest son sprained his foot, and it became as swollen as a pig's hoof. He started crying when he applied medicinal wine on it.
