After the two sat down, Mr. Huang turned his head and carefully observed Jiang Xue. After a while, he finally spoke: "You girl, where have you been these past two months? You look thinner."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue burst into laughter and said, "Mr. Huang, I've been to many places. Do you want to hear about it? If you do, I'll tell you exactly where I've been."
"Go ahead, I'm listening!" Mr. Huang had stayed home the entire summer, so he was quite curious about where Jiang Xue had been.
So Jiang Xue told Mr. Huang about how she went back to her hometown, visited Beijing, and went to the south for disaster relief.
"What, you girl actually went for disaster relief? Aren't you afraid of the danger?" Mr. Huang had some concerns about Jiang Xue going for disaster relief. He felt that such matters should be handled by men, and Jiang Xue, as a girl, went to such places was too dangerous.
