After breakfast, Gu Zi scooped up Su Le, setting off for the city with her mother and sister-in-law.
Su Shen, having dropped the boys off at school, returned to the pig farm. By this time, everyone had loaded the day's pork shipment onto the truck and sent it off to the city.
This was a time of leisure for everyone. They liked to gather in the hall, some indulging in a smoke, others enjoying a second breakfast or sipping on a little wine.
Today was a bit different, however. Everyone was gathered around a particular spot, creating a ruckus. As Su Shen approached, he heard them teasing Jin Long.
"Jin Long, you're eating enough for the whole family. Why are you hoarding so many pigeons?"
"You're such a big, tall guy. Why do you need to supplement your diet? You're not secretly in love, are you?"
"Oh, watch out! You're going to burn yourself out! Wait, have you already done so and are now trying to recover? Impressive!"
