   Reader note

   The next day, the sun still blazed down on the city. The trees lining the streets drooped their leaves, and the constant honking of horns filled the air. The wind was muggy, carrying the smell of car exhaust. "Mom!" Zhao Yao, who was watching TV, called out happily when she saw her mother enter. "Yao Yao, come see if you've grown taller!" Yang Qun waved to Zhao Yao as she walked in. Zhao Yao stepped forward and stopped in front of Yang Qun. Yang Qun gestured and said, "You've grown a little. Where's your aunt?" Yang Qun asked. "Auntie's busy in the back," Yang Qun replied, lifting the curtain and going inside to chat with her cousin. Zhang Mei invited Yang Qun and her mother to stay for lunch, and Yang Qun accepted. After lunch, Yang Qun shared some of the meat and vegetables Yin Xiu had given her with Zhang Mei, and also received some meat and vegetables from Lan Zhi, before taking the bus back. Zhao Yao, carrying a military green backpack, followed Yang Qun, turning left and right until they arrived at a factory. The deafening roar of the machines was quite loud. Following the wall to the back building, Yang Qun took out a key and opened a room inside. Inside were two bunk beds, one on each side, piled high with miscellaneous items. The upper bunk on the left and right were also cluttered with items. Both lower bunks had beds on them, and next to them was a table with a rice cooker and a wok on it. Further in was a toilet less than one square meter in size. Originally, Yang Qun and his wife lived separately; Yang Qun lived in the women's dormitory, and Zhao Liang lived in the men's dormitory. Because Zhao Yao was on summer vacation, and they wanted to spend time with him, they paid extra to move to a single room, making it a family of three sharing a dormitory. "Your father has gone to work and will be back tonight. I worked the night shift last night, so I'm not working during the day today. After you finish dinner, you can stay here for a while. I'm going to work, and your father will be back soon," Yang Qun said to Zhao Yao, who nodded. After rinsing the rice, Yang Qun put it in the rice cooker, boiled some water, washed a little bit of cured meat and sausage, cooked some eggplant, and made a dipping sauce. The mother and daughter ate dinner, and Yang Qun went to work. Zhao Yao was alone in the dormitory, with no TV and no playmates, and was extremely bored. So bored was she that she took out her homework and did it for a while before Zhao Liang returned. "Dad!" Zhao Yao called out happily as soon as she saw Zhao Liang enter the dormitory. "You still know how to do your homework!" Zhao Liang was very satisfied to see Zhao Yao doing her homework when he came home from work. That evening, Zhao Liang took Zhao Yao to a large shopping mall. As soon as Zhao Yao entered the mall, he felt a refreshing coolness; now he knew what air conditioning was. The building was brightly lit, and inside were shops selling clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, and food. Rows of clothes hung under the lights, worn by mannequins; the designs were very stylish and elegant, and there were even some styles Zhao Yao had never seen before. Gold, silver, jade, and diamond jewelry glittered in the glass windows—necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings—you name it. Pretty saleswomen with exquisite makeup introduced the products to customers, and the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance as they passed the counters. Complete sets of cosmetics were displayed high up… The short, delicate bottles were of unknown purpose to Zhao Yao, but he found them quite pretty. Red, green, and white desserts, in triangular, round, and square shapes, looked delicious. A fragrant aroma wafted over, the smell of roasting food accompanied by sizzling sounds. Various drinks were displayed nearby, some with crooked, illegible writing—mostly foreigners' words. The diverse shops left Zhao Yao feeling overwhelmed. People passing by were dressed smartly. Zhao Liang led Zhao Yao around, but they didn't go into any of the shops. The prices there were beyond their means. Zhao Yao understood their family's financial situation; looking was enough. He didn't ask for pretty clothes, snacks, or anything else. After wandering around the mall, Zhao Liang bought Zhao Yao a bag of spicy strips and an ice cream cone from a small shop outside the factory—both strictly forbidden by Yang Qun. Zhao Liang waited until Zhao Yao finished eating before going back, afraid of being caught by Yang Qun and scolded again. After the father and daughter entered the factory area, Zhao Liang said, "Would you like to see where we work?" "Yes!" Zhao Yao followed Zhao Liang to their workplace. As soon as Zhao Yao entered the factory area, she felt extremely stuffy and hot. Even the roaring ventilation fans couldn't dispel the heat. A row of very large machines stood against the wall. Some workers were stuffing white sheets and duvet covers into the machines, while others were taking the washed sheets and duvet covers out of the machines and placing them in crates. As soon as the machine doors opened, a wave of heat hit them. The workers moved the washed sheets and duvet covers to another machine, where it was even hotter. The machine sprayed high-temperature steam to iron the washed sheets and duvet covers. Behind each workbench were stacks of boxes, which were constantly being sent over. On the other side was the folding area, where workers, in pairs or one person, folded the ironed sheets and duvet covers and packed them into crates. Zhao Yao looked around and found Yang Qun in the folding area. Yang Qun was working with a short, plump middle-aged woman. The two of them each held one end of the sheet, folded it in half, then swapped corners, and folded it again—one sheet was folded perfectly. "Mom!" Zhao Yao ran up to Yang Qun, but stopped three steps away, afraid of disturbing her work. "Little Yang, is this your daughter? She's so pretty," said the middle-aged woman working with Yang Qun. "Yao Yao, say hello to Auntie." "Auntie!" "Sweet-talking and so outgoing." The simple conversation drew the attention of the surrounding workers, including the foreman. Yang Qun saw the foreman looking their way and said... "Yaoyao, you and Dad go back and play. I'm at work, I don't have time." "Okay." Zhao Yao didn't cause any trouble and obediently went to find Zhao Liang. Following Zhao Liang back to the dormitory, lying on her bed, Zhao Yao was still recalling the large shopping mall she had seen that day. It was so luxurious. She wondered when she could go shopping in such a mall. Then she thought of her parents' workplace—hot and arduous, with seemingly endless work, including night shifts. She wondered how her parents managed to persevere. It truly was the same city, but different people, different fates. Zhao Yao could only look at the large shopping mall, unable to afford anything, while her parents could only do hard, tiring work in the bustling city, earning low wages. This contrast and difference made Zhao Yao realize that there was another kind of life, and it subtly changed her. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23. The Gluttonous Inhalation of the Storm Zhao Yao felt a heat on her face. She woke up to find the sun shining directly on her face; the sun was already high in the sky. There was another person in the bed opposite her—Yang Qun, who had just returned from her night shift. Zhao Yao tiptoed out of bed, went to the bathroom, and the sound of the flushing woke Yang Qun. Looking at the time, it was already past eleven. The mother and daughter found the food Zhao Liang had prepared in the pot, heated it up, and that was their lunch. Zhao Liang had eaten lunch at the factory. In the afternoon, the mother and daughter took another nap. After waking up, Yang Qun was sewing insoles, and Zhao Yao was doing her homework. Wearing a thimble and holding a needle and thread, she meticulously pierced the thick insole, stitch by stitch. The small insole was exactly the same size as Zhao Yao's foot. The fine stitches, each tiny cross, were particularly neat. On the back of the insole, a vibrant flower adorned the sole and heel, its red petals and green leaves standing out vividly against the yellow background. Sunlight streamed into the room, bathing Yang Qun's figure in a halo. The electric fan creaked incessantly, but Zhao Yao didn't find it annoying; in fact, she found it quite pleasant. The breeze occasionally ruffled Yang Qun's hair. Zhao Yao thought, at this moment, she was happy. "Mom, I've finished my homework for today," Zhao Yao said to Yang Qun. "Take a break after you're done. After I finish these two stitches, we'll go out to buy groceries." "Okay!" Zhao Yao quickly tossed his summer homework and pen into his schoolbag, then eagerly approached Yang Qun, feigning ignorance. "Mom, who are these insoles for?" "Judging by the size of this foot, they're for you too." "Great! New insoles again! Am I the only one who got one?" "You, your dad, grandpa and grandma, and grandpa and grandma all have them." "What about you?" "My old ones aren't worn out yet. I'll finish these for you first, and then I'll make more when I have time. If I don't have time, that's fine." Yang Qun chatted casually with her daughter, but Zhao Yao felt her mother was so silly. Everyone else had insoles, but she wore old ones. She cared about everyone else but not herself. A little while later, Yang Qun finished the last few stitches, pinned the needle to the insole, got up to go to the bathroom, and was about to leave. Zhao Yao picked up the insole, touched the firm, even stitches, and felt a warm glow in her heart from the hard, thick insole. Hearing Yang Qun flush the bathroom, she quickly put it down. "Come on, close the door behind you," Yang Qun called to Zhao Yao, who toddled after her. Leaving the factory area, there was a narrow path. After turning a few corners, the path widened, and then, entering an alley, a fishy smell filled the air. Zhao Yao figured they had arrived. Yang Qun had taken Zhao Yao to buy some leafy greens, and then, remembering they were running low on seasonings, they bought some scallions, ginger, and garlic. The market here was many times larger than the one in Minzhu Town, with a much wider variety of fish. In Minzhu Town, fishmongers mostly sold common farmed freshwater fish like carp, crucian carp, and silver carp, but here Zhao Yao saw not only fishmongers but also shrimp and king prawns. There were vendors selling eels, bullfrogs, and even seafood—things Zhao Yao had never seen before in Minzhu Town. Vegetable stalls lined the streets, mostly selling seasonal vegetables and common dishes. He'd never seen bamboo shoots, okra, or tea tree mushrooms before, and each stall had everything neatly arranged. Beyond that were shops selling cooked food: sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, roast duck, braised dishes—you name it, they had it. The smells made Zhao Yao hungry, but he'd already bought his groceries; he could just wait a little longer before going home to cook. "Yao Yao, there's a skewers place over there, it's delicious! Let's go eat there later," Yang Qun suggested. Zhao Yao was overjoyed, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Yang Qun in disbelief. His mother was always frugal and against eating out, always saying it wasn't clean. He was thrilled that his mother would take him to eat skewers. "Okay, okay. I'm starving!" The mother and daughter had only walked a few dozen meters when they turned the corner and saw a tricycle parked in front of them. A slightly plump, dark-skinned middle-aged woman was busy working on a large pot on a coal stove on the tricycle. There were two small folding tables next to her, already full of people. A group of people were gathered in front of the woman, with stainless steel trays on them, holding cooked skewers and condiments, eating while standing. Yang Qun pulled Zhao Yao to choose some vegetables first. Zhao Yao picked up some potato slices, lotus root slices, duck intestines, beef tripe, beef, and bok choy, about twenty skewers, and then stopped. Yang Qun noticed Zhao Yao's thoughtfulness and said, "It's very cheap here, only one cent a skewer, eat as much as you want." Only then did Zhao Yao pick up some wood ear mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, pork belly, duck feet, chicken feet, etc., And said. "Mom, you take some too, I don't know what to take." Seeing that Zhao Yao had only taken about fifty skewers, Yang Qun went over and took some daylily, cilantro, ribs, chicken wings, etc., Filling a large plate. The red broth was bubbling and steaming. Zhao Yao thought it smelled delicious, even better than the skewers at the school gate. Yang Qun handed the selected skewers to the owner, who gave Yang Qun a number slip of paper. The mother and daughter then waited on the side. Just then, a table finished eating and left, so the mother and daughter quickly went to sit down at the empty seats. The owner had perfect control of the cooking; the potato slices and duck intestines were crispy where they should be, and the oyster mushrooms were cooked until they were soaked in the broth. Two dipping sauces were also provided free of charge, one dry and one oily. The sauces were in a bucket next to the owner, and they could refill them themselves. The dry sauce was spicy, and the oily sauce was fragrant and spicy; Zhao Yao liked both. She ate a bite of the dry sauce and a bite of the oily sauce, thoroughly enjoying herself. The mother and daughter ate enough for two adults, which surprised the owner. After finishing, the bill came to only 12.3 yuan, and the owner even rounded it down to 12 yuan. Although Zhao Yao rarely ate out and wasn't very familiar with restaurant prices, she was certain that 12 yuan couldn't buy this many skewers outside the school gate. Zhao Yao thought it was an extremely good deal. "Don't tell your dad we went out for skewers when we get back. He'll scold me for telling you not to eat these things, but then I take you to eat them," Yang Qun said. "I absolutely won't let a single word slip," Zhao Yao practically patted his chest in assurance. What Yang Qun didn't know was that the father and daughter had secretly gone out for ice cream and spicy snacks yesterday, thinking the same thing. Zhao Yao couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, acting like a weathervane, two-faced. After the mother and daughter returned home, they cooked dinner for Zhao Liang. When Zhao Liang came home from get off work and saw the rice in the pot untouched, he looked puzzled. Yang Qun simply said that the mother and daughter had finished their meal and cooked more for him. Unaware of the truth, Zhao Liang was deeply moved, feeling half the fatigue of his day's work lessen. With a wife and daughter like this, what more could he ask for? (Well-written, the plot is reasonable and close to reality, highly recommended)
