Ye Ling wanted to go to the train station, but Zhao Guodong told her to stay at home and watch over the other pot, while he went out with Zhang Linong and Wang Ping. Ye Ling was in a bad mood and told the three to stay on the platform and not freeze outside, only then did she watch them leave. She timed it and then took the dumplings out of the pot and kept them warm before returning to the room.
Alone in the room, the faint sound of crying became clearer. Listening to it troubled Ye Ling, making her regret not going to the small platform with them. The room was cold, so she simply took off her shoes, climbed onto the kang, and snuggled into the quilt. Once warm, her mind also gradually calmed down.
