Zhang Jing's uncle lived in Daxitang, Jingshan County. In his memory, his uncle and aunt ran a small shop selling groceries. They made a living from this shop, but their life was not easy.
My uncle's old house was passed down from my maternal grandfather. There are two acres of thin land outside the house, where they grow vegetables and the like. My aunt is a hardworking woman and never lets the land go to waste. This saves them money on buying vegetables, and they can also sell some of the leftovers from their own shop from time to time.
When Zhang Jing arrived at his uncle's house with a large bag full of newly bought gifts, he had already run into two groups of acquaintances. Many of his neighbors knew him in the area, since he and his cousin often played around there when they were young.
