Inside the small thatched hut.
evening.
Sanpang was carrying the basket, which was already filled with a lot of firewood.
"Mom, mom." She shouted as soon as she entered the door.
The mother walked out of the inner room and saw her daughter carrying a basket of firewood. She hurried over: "Oh! Sanpang, where did you pick up so much firewood?"
Sanpang: "Below the tree."
The mother took it, put it on the ground, and praised her, "Oh, we three fat boys are such good kids. We picked up so much firewood at once, enough for our mother to cook two meals."
Sanpang was very happy to hear the praise: "Mom, there are many more there, I will go to pick it up tomorrow."
Mother: "Okay! Go and have fun! Mom is going to cook for you now!"
Sanpang: "Mom, let me burn the fire for you!"
Mother: "Oh, OK!"
Sanpang immediately walked to the big pot and squatted down.
My mother turned around to dig the rice, lifted the bag and saw that it was already empty inside and there was no rice at all.
"Oh!" The mother couldn't help but sigh.
Sanpang turned his head and saw her mother's expression. She guessed the reason why her mother sighed.

In the grandma's house.
Night.
Sanpang walked into the grandma's house with a basin.
When the grandma saw her and her holding a basin, she understood: "Sanpang, you don't have rice or flour at home, right?"
Sanpang looked at her and nodded.
The grandma sighed and said, "Oh! The couple gave birth to four children at a young age. Now your mother has a big belly and is the only one who works as a long-term worker for others. Can he earn that little money and food to support this family?"
Sanpang: "Grandma, it would be great if my mother could give birth to a little brother for me this time."
When the grandma heard this, she laughed: "Oh! Why?"
Sanpang: "My dad doesn't like his little sister, he only likes his little brother."
Grandma: "Is that true?"
Sanpang nodded: "Yes."
Grandma: "Then how did you know?"
Sanpang: "I saw it in my dad's face and heard it from his mouth."
The grandma smiled again and said, "Ouch! You are such a smart and sensible child. You will know everything about adults." As she said, she dug a liter of rice from the cabinet and poured it into Sanfat's basin, and said to her, "Okay, go back quickly! Your mother is waiting for the rice to be put into the pot."

Outside the horse ring.
Night.
In the darkness, Xu Baolin sat there smoking a cigarette with a dazed expression.
At this time, a guy came over from the side and asked him, "Hey, Brother Baolin, why haven't you come home so late? Ah!"
Xu Baolin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Annoyed!"
The guy laughed: "Oh! What's the annoyance about having a wife and children at home? Ah!"
Xu Baolin said sadly: "Oh! My wife is about to give birth to another girl. What if she gives birth to a girl movie for me again?"
The guy: "Then let's raise them together, one is to support them, and the other is to support them."
Xu Baolin was unhappy when he heard this: "Go and go! What do you know, leave quickly!"
The guy chuckled at him a few times, then walked to the side.
