Mrs. Zhao learned quite a few things from Grandma Fang.
"Shitou's mother, you don't know, when I first came to Capital City, I was completely stunned. As soon as I got off the train, there was snow everywhere, it was too cold outside, so I just slept on the heated brick bed."
Snow?
Capital City is also in the north.
The north is colder than the south.
"After the Beginning of Spring in February, it starts to warm up where we're from, but here it doesn't get warm until April."
Sleeping on the heated brick bed?
Mrs. Zhao, though she had heard quite a bit from others,
Had never seen one herself.
"You don't say, after coming to Capital City, I found it to be much cooler than our hometown."
Now the house is somewhat stuffy and hot, but in Capital City, there is still a hint of coolness.
"I heard about the agricultural reform of dividing land among individual households, Shitou's mother, what's that all about?"
Mrs. Zhao discussed the matter with Grandma Fang.
