Jiang Xiaoxiao watched as the Qin family's mother and son left through the door, patted her wallet, and prepared to go out to buy some milk powder for her niece.
Suddenly, she thought to herself, she must ask her mother to buy milk powder as well, because milk powder requires coupons and she doesn't have any. She doesn't know if her mom has any either. If not, she'll have to go borrow from someone else.
Fan Xiuying was in the room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looking for her coupons.
The granddaughter was hungry and crying, the sound echoing through the house, probably heard by the neighbors. Anyone unaware might think the child was sick.
Only their family knew that the child was hungry.
"Milk powder coupons, milk powder coupons, where on earth can we find milk powder coupons?"
These milk powder coupons were scarce; how could they possibly have them?
How could a worker's family have such things?
Fan Xiuying jumped with anxiety, pondering whom she could borrow from.
