Sunday had come, marking the return to school.
Evening self-study started at six thirty, and Pu Sangzhi usually stayed at home until six o'clock, having dinner before heading straight back to school.
"Mom, I'm heading to school now. Take good care of yourself at home. Don't always focus on making money; make sure to rest plenty. Eat your meals on time without any delays, and don't skimp on them either. Also, try to go out less."
Before leaving, Pu Sangzhi gave a litany of reminders to Chen Huifen.
She walked back and forth in the house with her backpack, triple-checking to ensure she hadn't forgotten any chores before she peacefully prepared to leave.
Chen Huifen was still sewing shoe uppers, busy with her hands and not planning to see Pu Sangzhi off. "Xiaosang, stop dawdling. Hurry back to school. Everything is fine at home."
