"Yes, a tape recorder." She had checked the price; a small tape recorder could be bought for a little over a hundred yuan in the mall. In the days since the new store opened, she and her assistant had earned a good income, so they could afford it. However, she didn't dare to touch the money in her hand; she still wanted to save it for a rainy day.
"Mom, you're so good!" Hanhan stood on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), rushed over to her, and showered her with kisses. This child has a very high emotional intelligence; I wonder where she learned it from.
