If the provincial stools of Guangdong Province were red plastic chairs, the municipal stools here were long wooden benches, commonly called high stools, which were generally paired with square eight-immortal tables. The square eight-immortal tables were usually placed in a corner to hold things, and the benches were set beside the stove for sitting. When guests arrived, a few more benches would be brought over for them, with each bench seating two to three people.
This kind of bench had a major hazard: when people sat on both ends, if the person on one side got up, the bench would easily tip up like a seesaw, and the other person could easily tumble down along with the bench.
Fu Ying and Mom Fu had experienced this a few times. The younger Fu Ying used to stand up abruptly, and Mom Fu had almost fallen to the ground. After getting scolded a few times, Fu Ying learned that she could not just stand up directly.
