After washing their hands, everyone grabbed bowls and chopsticks to serve themselves and started to eat.
Throughout the meal, people kept offering dishes to Caroline, and soon her bowl was stacked as high as a small hill.

Joan sat in her chair, quietly observing everything and couldn't help but sigh at how life can be so different for each person.

Joan reached out with her chopsticks.
