Grandpa wasn't a man of many words, but once Grandma made a decision, he would carry it out without question.
Liang Xiaoju resorted to her usual trick: she paced all around the yard but refused to step out the gate. She even threw a hunger strike, crying and sobbing, refusing to eat lunch.
Grandpa went back to his room, found a one-yuan note, and gave it to Xiao Man. "Go to the supply store and buy some biscuits and candy. She can eat them on the way."
Xiao Man had little memory of the one-yuan notes from this era. She held it up to the light and asked, "Should I spend the whole yuan?"
Grandpa didn't know what she was looking at, so he just glanced up at the sky before answering, "Spend it all. I think her family has six or seven kids... If you want some, just keep a little for yourself."
