Residential complex, residents' activity room.
After breakfast, the air is fresh, and the children have all gone to work, while the grandchildren are sent to school. It's the elderly's most leisurely time. As usual, the activity room is bustling with a dozen old men and ladies playing cards, playing chess, drinking tea, and chatting leisurely.
Despite their age, they often act more childish than their own kids—you play with her but not with me, you dance with him but not with me... One-upmanship and jealousy are common occurrences.
Of course, Granny Zhou is an exception. Everyone is very respectful toward her, not daring to utter a word of gossip. At this moment, the old lady, as per usual, sits at the mahjong table, occupying the central seat as firmly as Old Dog.
They had just played four rounds and switched seats when the mahjong machine whirred as it shuffled the tiles.
