The Toffee incident did nothing to tone down Mama Jiao's determination to find Zheng Tan a girlfriend.
He was annoyed, so he was rarely home these days. He only went home for meals and to sleep. Mama Jiao berated him because of this.
Zheng Tan Tan went home at dinner time. Mama Jiao, who was cooking in the kitchen, saw him come inside.
"If you don't spend all your time wandering outside, you could be a father by now." Mama Jiao was chopping ribs. "You probably won't know even if you become a father."
Zheng Tan listened to the sound of knife-on-ribs and felt a chill down his spine. He rubbed his ears. Mama Jiao was very frightening sometimes.
One day, the weather was sunny and the temperature had risen.
Zheng Tan was enjoying his stroll. He sniffed a flower in the grass and sneezed.
