Grandma Moer immediately became depressed. After a while, an ox cart came slowly. The driver was an old man, and everyone called him Li Laoer. When they got to the front, everyone quickly climbed up to get a good seat. Moer called out to Second Grandpa obediently, "I don't have any money now. I'll give you some when I sell some things!" Li Laoer nodded and said, "Well, get in the car! Sit next to me!" Okay, Second Grandpa! After getting in the car, Moer took out two meat buns and handed one to Li Laoer. "Second Grandpa, you haven't eaten yet, right? I have two meat buns. Have one for you!" Li Laoer saw the big, white and tender meat buns, and his eyes widened. In this day and age, apart from eating white buns during the Chinese New Year, who else can eat them on other days? He swallowed his saliva and said, "Girl, keep it for yourself!" Moer shook his head and said, "One is enough for me. You eat this one!" The others were already stunned. This big bun smelled so good. They really wanted to take a bite! Grandma Moer sucked her saliva and grabbed the meat bun. If he doesn’t want to eat it, give it to me! With a snap, her hand was slapped aside by Moer. I won’t even give it to you. Go wherever you want. With a cry, Grandma Moer covered her hand and scolded: You are a cheap girl who doesn’t know how to respect your elders. If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. Why are you hitting me? Moer snorted coldly: If you snatch it again, I will hit you!

Among them was a woman in her thirties, the wife of Li Yannian from the village. Li Yannian could not get a word out of her when he hit her with a stick. He was scolded by his wife all day long, but he never said anything back. This woman had a face that was sharp and mean. She was also very greedy. Seeing that old lady Mo'er was hit on the hand, she curled her lips and said: "Really, how can you be so well-mannered without parents! You don't know how to respect your elders when you have food." Mo'er narrowed his eyes and slapped the woman on the mouth: "You are so mean." Li Yannian's wife had never suffered such injustice. She got up and rushed to Mo'er. "You are a waste of money who brings bad luck to your parents. You dare to hit me? I will beat you to death." Another slap hit her face. "Who do you say is a bad luck to your parents? Say it again, I will hear it." Li Laoer's wife covered her face and pointed at Mo'er. "It's you, you..." slap, another slap! Mo'er smiled and said, "Go on." This time, Li Yannian's wife was silent, covering her face and sobbing. Mo'er looked at her grandmother and Li Yannian's wife and said, "I like to punish those who are naughty with their hands and mouths. If you don't agree, keep going!"

The coachman Li Laoer saw that he had been beaten and scolded and was now obedient, so he said: "Okay, sit down quickly and set off!" Mo'er handed the bun to the coachman Li Laoer, "Second Grandpa, here." Li Laoer took the meat bun, carefully put it in his arms, and took it back to give to his little grandson. Thank you Mo'er, don't give me the fare! Mo'er replied, "No, I'll give you all when I get back!"

Li Laoer shook his head and fell silent. Then Mo'er took a bite of the meat bun, and the aroma of meat immediately came out. The sound of sips of water came from the car! These days, you can't even eat meat twice a year! Li Yannian's wife showed a vicious look in her eyes! You wait, you dead girl, dare to hit me, sooner or later I will make you pay!

The oxcart wobbled along for nearly two hours before we reached the town. This town, called Qipan, had a population of just over 30,000. It was built on a gentle slope, with a main road in the middle and residential buildings on either side, mostly brick and tile, with the occasional adobe. The supply and marketing cooperative and a state-owned restaurant, along with a few other establishments, were on the left side of the road. To the right was the steel mill. A main road led directly from the town to the mill. Fifty miles past the town was Qipan County.
