In this chapter, we are introduced to the grandmother of the Ming family. The grandmother tells us that she has been a single housewife for a lifetime, and that she is grateful to her for saving her from the drill training. She tells the grandmother that she wants to repay her, but that she does not need to see her at the school. She says that the Ming manhua training has begun and that it is important to learn how to tell stories. She wants the grandmother to teach her how to write, and she says that she will wait until she has finished all of her tasks. She also says that in the meantime, she cannot slack off on the housework. She asks the grandmother where all of the children have gone, and the grandmother tells her that they have gone to celebrate the birthday of their son.
