Inside the house.
Night.
The father was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Hey, I have an idea."
Mother: "What's the idea?"
Father: "We already have four children now, including the five children in your belly. We can't support so many children. Should we give two of them to others?"
"Ah!" the mother was surprised: "What did you say? Give the child to someone else?"
Father: "Yes."
When the mother heard this, she got angry: "Hmph! You can think of it!"
Father: "Oh! Isn't there any way I can do this? Think about it, instead of letting them stay in this house and starve to death, it's better to send them out so that they can save their lives."
Mother: "No! Absolutely not!"
Father: "What should I do?"
When Sanpang heard this, he covered his head with a quilt in fear.
Mother: "What should I do? I don't eat or drink, and I can't give my children to someone else's house."
Seeing that his mother had made up her mind, the father had to say, "Well, since that's the case, there is only one way to go."
Mother: "What road?"
Father: "I'll go to borrow some food from my worker tomorrow!"

Mr. Qu was lying on the kang with a cigarette gun in his mouth.
Xu Baolin walked in: "Master."
Mr. Qu didn't even look at him and asked, "Baolin, are you still doing that?"
Xu Baolin: "No, lord."
Mr. Qu: "If you still come for that matter, I advise you not to speak out."
Xu Baolin: "No, no."
Mr. Qu: "What's that matter?"
Xu Baolin: "Mr. Qu, I want to...I want to borrow some food from you."
Mr. Qu: "Borrow food?"
Xu Baolin: "Yes."
Mr. Qu: "How much do you borrow?"
Xu Baolin: "Let's borrow a bucket first!"
Mr. Qu: "Okay! But do you understand the rules here?"
Xu Baolin: "I know."
Mr. Qu: "Now I borrow a bull of grain, and I will have to pay one and a half dollars when I return it after the autumn. If I can't pay it back then, I will have to pay two bulls when I pay it back next year. Do you know?"
Xu Baolin: "Yes, Mr. Qu."
Mr. Qu: "I will talk ugly first, so as not to break my rules in the future. Baolin, do you still want to borrow it now?"
Xu Baolin: "Borrow."
Mr. Qu: "Okay! Then go find the butler now!"
