Li Dahe came back from the fields, sipping on some cool boiled water and remarked to Aunt Li: "The elementary school is doing well, the remaining educated youths are all good workers, doesn't it ease your mind?"
Aunt Li, who was making a quilt on the kang bed, rolled her eyes at him: "You're not frustrated, but shouldn't you start worrying about Xiao Shan's marriage? You don't bother with anything, leaving the nitpicking to the in-laws."
Aunt Li has been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately.
Apart from household chores, she also had to busy herself with her younger son's marriage. She's been spinning like a top all day long, now she finds everyone annoying and nothing seems right.
"Who's nitpicking? Hongzi?" Li Dahe hadn't realized the severity of the situation and blurted out, "If it were someone else saying this, I might believe it!"
Aunt Li paused with her needle in hand and nodded reluctantly: "That's true."
