"I gave all ten coins I had to my family the first time. They were almost unable to afford even brown rice. Then, until last year, they were no longer starving."
My mother said that of my daily fifteen coins, I could keep five coins for myself.
The tone of his voice was one of extreme joy.
Changsheng asked hesitantly, "What can five coins do?"
“I’m hungry, I can’t get enough to eat at home! I also want to save some food for my younger siblings, so I can spend three of these five coins to buy steamed buns every day!”
The two coins I saved could be saved up for a month to reach twenty coins, enough to buy candy for my younger siblings once a month.
This year, during Chinese New Year, I bought pine nut candy, which was the first time they had ever eaten candy.
My sister couldn't bear to eat it, so she hid it. Later, it burned, and she cried for a long time.

Sister-in-law Chi's words stirred countless ripples in Changsheng's heart.
This was the first time Changsheng had become aware of money.
So, five coins can do so much.
So that's why someone would be so happy to receive five coins.
"Xiao Ye," Sister Chi called Xiao Ye over and handed him five coins, "Thank you for today."
The young man's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what the shopkeeper meant. He thanked Sister-in-law Chi with great joy and said, "With these five coins, I can add one more coin and buy three meat buns for my younger brother and sister."
Aren't you going to eat?
Changsheng pressed on with the question.
Ono shook his head.
