The generous sister had given her two yuan today. Normally, she could only manage to save one or two cents.
She would keep the remaining 60 cents to account for when she got back.
The little girl was named Qian Zhaodi.
The name Zhaodi, as the name suggests, was given because the adults in her family wanted to raise a boy.
After safely stashing away the money, Qian Zhaodi dragged her frail steps back home. As she passed a small puddle, she carefully washed her face, and thoughtfully, she slurped up some water to rinse her mouth.
She couldn't let her parents know that she had snuck a bite!
Qian Zhaodi stopped in front of a brick house with a shining light, took a deep breath, and went in.
The light inside the house was warm, and you could hear such dialogue, "Son, eat more meat. You can grow taller by eating more meat."
Meat.
Qian Zhaodi couldn't help but lick her lips.
She couldn't even remember the last time she had meat.
