Song Dalong: "We didn't know my mom's money would be stolen."
"It's wrong for you to rely on your aunt's money."
"Yes, yes, we understand, but this year is already like this, there's nothing we can do. Next year, we'll definitely go back to work next year."
Song Guoqiang had no choice; they were all from the same village, and he couldn't let them go without food for the New Year.

Fang Jie picked up the rooster; it was really heavy, probably weighing 8 jin (4 catties).
"Yaohui, go start a fire and boil water. We're going to stew a rooster today."
