There's still a week to go before the New Year, and the night school is closed for vacation.
The school did a big cleanup before breaking up for the holidays.
Yu Jingting, idle and bored, came over to help Suizi clean the windows.
Wang Mengmeng, holding a cloth, sat on the window sill. She didn't accomplish a thing in half an hour, not even cleaning a small patch of window glass. Instead, she intermittently picked out sunflower seeds to eat, which greatly annoyed Zhang Yue'e.
"Wang Mengmeng, if you're not going to work, just sit aside. Don't be a nuisance, okay?"
Zhang Yue'e was responsible for sweeping. She had swept up the sunflower seed shells spewed out by Wang Mengmeng several times already.
"Oh, once a woman gets married, her tone changes, doesn't it? Feels empowered?" Wang Mengmeng spat out a seed shell, throwing it on the ground in an act of defiance.
