About This Novel

"Expired Milk in the Refrigerator" tells the marriage story of Su Qing and Chen Mo under the pressure of life during the epidemic lockdown period. When the news of the city's lockdown came, the three boxes of milk that Chen Mo snapped up became the epitome of the family's reserves. As time went by, the only expired milk left in the refrigerator was like their relationship gradually cooling down. The construction site is suspended, the mortgage is overdue, Party A is in arrears, and financial pressure hangs over the family like a dark cloud. Chen Mo's insomnia and alcoholism, and Su Qing's idea of applying for a job as a supermarket tally clerk, have become the triggers of quarrels. The gap between husband and wife is deepening day by day, and the warmth that once was has been blurred by the edges of reality. The neighborhood tragedy Su Qing witnessed while volunteering in the community, as well as her parents' request for help, made her even more exhausted mentally and physically. However, when the blow of layoffs caused Chen Mo to collapse and Su Qing chose to embrace him, the frozen relationship began to loosen. From mutual accusations to silent support, from confusion about the future to deciding to face it together, they made a promise in front of the empty refrigerator to refill their lives together after the lockdown is lifted. The novel uses the special background of the epidemic to depict the struggle and perseverance of ordinary couples in difficult situations. The iron fence covered with morning glories symbolizes the hope and warmth that quietly grow in despair.
