When Zhao Guangran heard they could continue raising chickens and growing vegetables in Beijing, he stopped complaining about not going there.
The adults had already addressed his concerns, so he didn't insist on staying here.
Hua Miaozhu seemed a bit dismissive of people involved in farming, not because she looked down on farmers, but because she felt that once in Beijing, the focus should be on studying.
"Mom, you don't know, although things in Beijing are reasonably available, you need coupons. We're going there to study, so we should eat in the cafeteria, without coupon-supplied food," Zhan Jing explained to Hua Miaozhu, noticing her displeasure, about why they needed to do this.
To be honest, after farming for so many years, Zhan Jing wasn't thinking about continuing to farm in Beijing, but without farming, what would the family eat or drink? Would they go to the cafeteria for every meal?
