I was busy. I wanted to say no, but I saw that their shoes had holes in them and they were wet. “Come in and I’ll make you a cup of tea.” They came in, saying nothing. Their shoes left prints (脚印) on the floor. I gave them tea and bread to protect them against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started my housework again.

The silence in the living room surprised me. I looked in. The woman held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The man asked me in a low voice, “Lady,are you rich?”

Then they left, holding their papers against the wind. They didn’t say thank you. They didn’t need to. They had done more than that. They had reminded me that I had so much to thank for. The blue cups and saucers were simple. But they matched. The potatoes and meat before me, a roof over my head, my husband with a job—these things matched too.
