Yuanchun persuaded, "Mom, you and Dad work the hardest earning work points in the fields. You need to eat eggs to nourish your health too. Eggs aren't even expensive—five cents each. Four eggs a day is only twenty cents, six yuan a month for eggs. Our family can still afford that."
Mother Tang looked at her belly and said, "Although Qingfeng and your father have wages coming in every month, you're pregnant now, and the family still needs to save money to raise the child. We should still be frugal."
Father Tang also chimed in, "Your mother and I have sturdy bodies and don't need nourishment. Qingfeng does unloading work in the transport team, which is harder than farming in the fields. The child in your belly needs nutrition too. Listen to your mother—the family's eggs should be prioritized for you. If there aren't enough, I'll have your mother buy some more in the village."
