"Yes."
Almost without hesitation, Gu Hongwei agreed to Tong Yao's request to work a few more days here and earn some extra money. At least he would be able to buy some more meat for the New Year celebration.
Life has been a struggle for his family these past few years. His aging father hasn't had a decent day's rest, not even daring to indulge in meat during New Year holidays. Now, the money he's earned from his part-time job and scholarship is more than enough. He can afford a few more pounds of meat for the holiday feast which would definitely make his father happy.
Nowadays, despite the rapidly improving economy, there are still countless people who can't afford meat during the New Year celebrations and treat themselves to rice and wheat only on special occasions, resorting to mixed grain pancakes on regular days.
Gu Hongwei's family is just like that.
