Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and grandmas must stay awake at all times.
Jin Yufen, a retired cotton spinning factory worker, has a pension of 3,880 yuan. Her son drives a bus and her daughter-in-law works in a supermarket. She runs to her son's house every day to make breakfast for her grandson. She wakes up earlier than a chicken and works harder than a cow. In exchange for this, her daughter-in-law said, "Who would like to eat those things she makes?"
There is also Li Shufen, a retired teacher, whose children are trying to live up to their expectations. She advises her elder sisters to be more open-minded every day, and she understands better than anyone else. Wang Guiying, sixty-three years old, has an unfilial son and a mean daughter-in-law. She complains whenever she sees anyone and has become a negative example for everyone. Zhou Shufen, sixty-four years old, has worked as an accountant in a factory all her life. She is very careful with her calculations and advises Jin Yufen every day not to give all her pension money to her grandson.
They come from different backgrounds, some have factories, some have institutions, some have hospitals, some have schools, some have followed their children from the countryside to the city. They have different knowledge. Some have gone to college, some have only attended literacy classes, and some cannot recognize their own names. They have different experiences. Some have a smooth life, some were widowed when they were young, and some are still paying off the debts owed by their sons at the age of sixty.
But they are both grandmothers.
