Chapter 1: Hot Soup by the Ice Hole
Su Wan was jolted awake by the weight of a freezing quilt being slammed onto her.
"You lazy brat, still playing dead? The sun’s already hitting the rafters! Who’s going to cook the pig slop? The whole family is waiting on you!"
A woman in her forties stood by the edge of the kang, hands on her hips. A piece of hemp rope cinched her cotton-padded trousers, and her face was flushed red from the cold, white puffs of steam escaping her mouth. Su Wan’s head felt like it was stuffed with tangled wool—one half filled with the humming industrial sewing machines of a 21st-century garment factory in the south, the other half with nineteen years of life in a mud-brick house in Kaoshan Village, surviving on watery gruel and endless, grinding days.
The two memories collided, making her temples throb. She reached up to the back of her head and felt a crusted, jagged wound.
"Wang Guixiang," she heard herself say. Her voice sounded like a rusted hinge.
"Oh? You’ve got the nerve to use my full name now?" The woman tossed the quilt toward the end of the kang. "Listen here, Su Wan, don't think that bumping your head on the doorframe gives you an excuse to rot in bed. At two o'clock this afternoon, the Li family from Hongqi Commune is coming to haul away the sewing machine. They’ve already counted out the one hundred and ten yuan."
A loud buzz filled Su Wan’s brain.
