"Hello? Who is this?" Shen Yunfang heard the phone ringing, quickly turned down the stove, and then ran to the living room to answer the phone.
Nowadays, phones didn't have caller ID, so you wouldn't know who was calling until you picked up the phone and heard the voice.
"Yunfang, are you home? I was thinking if you weren't, I'd call Hongjun," Ma Liguo's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Brother Ma, I'm at home. It's about that time, isn't it? I need to get back and cook for the kids," said Shen Yunfang with a chuckle.
Although she was busy with all sorts of things at the farm every day, she always made sure to come back early at mealtimes to cook for her husband and children, unless something special came up, a routine she kept up with consistently.
