Bai Xiao was getting ready for work when she came out the door and happened to bump into Sister Wei who was cradling Huzi, with a basket slung over one arm, looking like she was about to go pick vegetables in the garden behind the houses.
In the back yard, each family had a little plot of land, not big, but enough to grow some vegetables to help with the household expenses, which was a favorite cost-saving activity of the family members. They all managed their plots with great care. Bai Xiao's own plot was still untouched; both she and her partner worked and simply had no time, so their plot was lying fallow.
"Doctor Bai, off to work?"
When Sister Wei saw Bai Xiao, her expression changed as if she had something to say but then stopped herself. Bai Xiao smiled and patted Huzi's head, "Yes, off to work."
