"Sister-in-law, I want some water," Sun Dexiang yelled.
Jie Jingling had just finished hanging the laundry and now had to go pour water for Sun Dexiang and Sun's mother. Qin Mei followed close behind her.
It was Sun Dexiang and Sun's mother's first time visiting, and as guests, they didn't order anyone else around. Instead, they relentlessly bossed Jie Jingling around.
The water in the thermos had just been boiled by Jie Jingjue. Worried that Jie Jingling might burn herself, Qin Mei picked up an enamel mug before she could. "Sister, let me do it."
Jie Jingling didn't object, only cautioning, "Be careful, it's hot."
"You be careful too," Qin Mei replied. They shared a smile.
Qin Mei took a mug to Sun's mother, while Jie Jingling took one to Sun Dexiang.
