Only after getting married did I realize that even corn bread can get stuck in your throat. We had no food quota, and I felt embarrassed to say I couldn't eat, so I ate less. Anyway, Xiao Wu and my mother-in-law would secretly make something extra for me. My mother-in-law was really nice, secretly boiling a couple of eggs and hiding them in our room. Sometimes, when everyone went to work, she would secretly stash some corn bread for us, so they always said I had a cat's appetite."
Zhou Jiao took a bite of food, then continued, "Xiao Wu and I couldn't take it anymore, so we bought some rice. We had his mother make jujube rice porridge for me during my pregnancy, and the whole family could have some too. We hoped it would stop being corn goo and corn bread every day. If that got stuck in our throats, drinking some corn goo porridge would really choke us to death.
