Lin Lan had just gotten home from work and started cooking when Little Douzi returned. He looked at her with a big smile. "Mom, my teacher said you came to school to see me."
"Mhm! Mommy was worried you weren't feeling well."
"It's nothing, I'm all better now." Little Douzi put down his schoolbag. "My teacher said we're getting a ten-day break for the busy farming season. I already talked to Brother Kai and Little Yun. We're going to the fields this afternoon to glean grain for the chickens."
Lin Lan nodded. "Okay. After you eat and take a nap, you can go. Take the straw hat Grandpa wove for you and your little back-basket."
"Okay!" Little Douzi rubbed his belly. "I'm hungry."
"There are some mung bean cakes on the table. You can have a couple to tide you over."
"Okay!"
