"Otherwise, we won't get these benefits. Just think about how the children in the family will all be able to wear new clothes this winter for the New Year, so we have to grit our teeth and persevere."
The women nodded.
Meanwhile, Huang Youqing, the production team leader, watched as his wife ate a large bowl of cornmeal porridge and even ate a cornbread.
