Mrs. Gong was cleaning the house and smiled as she welcomed Gong Liang home. First, she curiously examined the coconut, looking it over and over, even tapping it on the ground. After confirming it was indeed hard, she put it back in the burlap sack and went to the coal stove to boil water for Gong Liang.
For Mrs. Gong, these new and strange things, even if they are fruits, are precious. If they get damaged, it would be a waste of money, so it's better not to touch them if possible.
"Xiao Liang, Mingzhu hasn't finished work yet. Later, don't forget to pick her up from work. You've been in Qiong Province for over a month. There are snacks that Master Jing made a while ago in the cupboard. Take them with you when you pick up Mingzhu, and say something nice. Mom has already tidied up your room. We're having braised pork and chestnut chicken for dinner tonight," Mrs. Gong said spiritedly, "Tomorrow night, we're going to eat at the State owned Restaurant."
