The weather was nice today, sunny and pleasant.
As the evening sun set, the old and young men in the courtyard gathered together to chat about daily life. The men discussed national affairs and global events, while the women talked about which mother-in-law mistreated her daughter-in-law or which young wife was selfish and harsh toward her mother-in-law. The children, on the other hand, didn't care about any of that and were running wild inside and outside the courtyard.
Hutou, Xiao Yanzi, Li Junjun, and Li Weiwei were a group of kids who often played together.
In the past, Hutou and Xiao Yanzi were inseparable, but the boys didn't like playing with them because Hutou always dragged Xiao Yanzi along. However, over the past few months, the kids had started hanging out together.
