Hua Min waited for her husband at home for a long time but he didn't come back. When she was about to go to bed at nine o'clock, she saw her husband holding a bowl of pickles in his left hand with a bag hooked on his finger, and a large bag of lychees in his right hand. He had brought back a bag from his son's house after robbing it.
"Why are you back so late?"
"I sent Yiming over. Ting'er and his wife had just returned and were having dinner. Seeing the rich meal, I ate another bowl of rice with them.
You know what? The rice from my son's house is incredibly fragrant. It's the kind you'd only get at a state banquet. I wonder where that brat bought it. No wonder he gave us all his monthly rations.
"They went to see Xiaochen and Xiaoyu. How are they doing now?"
"Those two brats are doing well in the army. Don't worry, they might come home for the New Year this year."

Our Jin'er has been terribly harmed by Zhu Ting. Wow, this child has had a miserable life since childhood."
"Don't cry. Zhu Ting was sent to the Northwest Farm. She must be having a hard time. Old Zhu was trying to use his connections to get her back, but he didn't know that the big movement would come later and he couldn't protect himself."
"Are you still in contact with him?"
"I don't associate with him, but I know his movements. If a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will make his teeth ache. That old guy has been on a downward spiral since the Zhu Ting incident broke out."
