Yuanchun’s eyes reddened instantly. "I haven’t had meat in three years," she said. "I used my relocation subsidy to buy ten buns. I sat in that State-run Restaurant and cried for half an hour because it hurt my heart so much to spend the money. If you want some, I can give you two, provided you pay me back for them.

I get a headache just looking at them now."
Ji Honghong looked sheepish. "Never mind. Actually... I didn't want the meat buns that badly anyway."
With tears welling in her eyes, Yuanchun replied, "You really don't want them? Oh, and here I thought I could get the money for two buns back from you. At twenty cents apiece, it really stings."
