The image of the little one kept appearing in Chen Afu's eyes, making her bury her face in her hands and cry. As she cried, she saw Jin Yanzi, the golden swallow, crying too with a little open beak, complaining, "I don't want to leave stinky Dabao, life without him is so boring..."
Outside the door, Mrs. Li's voice rang out, "Madam, the water's getting cold, don't catch a chill."
Wiping her tears, Chen Afu calmed her emotions. Her life must go on...
She then contemplated it from another perspective, she should be happy for Dabao. Although he had suffered a great deal in the countryside, he had survived. Moreover, it had helped him develop many good qualities and habits.
