The strawberry yield from Tian Tian's home isn't very high this time.
However, her family paid off quite a bit of their debts last year, and despite family disputes, having less debt has made everyone feel lighter.
Tian Ye will be in his senior year during the second half of the year. Now, back for three days during the May Day holiday, Tian Tian still handed him 200 yuan: "Use it to buy a couple of clothes and save the rest for your meal card, don't skimp on food. I'll get you some bread, beef jerky, and braised eggs. Our family isn't short on money, so don't save too much."
This dark-skinned kid picked Yuxing Grass by Song Tan's pond last summer, becoming sunburned, but thanks to good nutrition, he grew taller, although he looked quite slim.
Tian Ye laughed: "I know, I'm not hungry. Are you selling strawberries these days? I'll go to the city with you."
