Liuyuan County, Wenchang Pavilion Community, near the entrance, inside a grocery store of about twenty or thirty square meters.
Chen Zhonghua and Jiang Meixian, each sitting on opposite sides of a small table within the shop.
A plate of stir-fried pork with green peppers, a plate of sautéed green beans, and a plate of pickles all laid out on the table, having been set there for quite some time.
However, the couple, Chen Zhonghua and Jiang Meixian, had not touched their chopsticks, merely sitting beside them.
"Meixian, are you sure Hai is coming back today? You didn't get the date wrong?"
Chen Zhonghua's stomach was already growling with hunger.
These days, resources were scarce, and most people's bellies lacked sustenance, leaving them easily famished.
His wife Jiang Meixian ran this little shop, while Chen Zhonghua, restless, would pull a cart around the county town, looking to earn some money.
