When Little Ge returns home, he is greeted by his aunt, who tells him that he is welcome to stay at her house for a while. When he asks if his mother will immediately throw him out, she says that she will, but that she is sorry that he has been so cruel to her. The aunt tells Little Ge that his uncle, who is away at school, will be home soon, and that he should go with her. When little Ge asks if he should accompany her, the aunt tells him to stay home. When the aunt says that he can call her anytime, Little Ge tells her that he feels like his mother has grown older and that she should be spending more time with him. He says that if she accepts him, she will have two sons, and if she does not, he will not want to leave her either.
