Back at home, DuoDuo’s grandmother had slept for only 2-3 hours a day, and her head buzzed every time she laid down. But on the first day she entered Daisy’s Home, she slept a total of eight hours, in two separate periods—much more “practical”, as she described it.
DuoDuo’s father has always been the most fond of her. With the worsening of her conditions, he feels immense anxiety. He drinks beer at dinner, just to fog up his mind, to not think so much, to possibly fall asleep and glimpse a few hours of empty relief.
DuoDuo is a very keen child. She finds ways to circumvent her inability to speak; she makes gestures with her fingers, to indicate how severe her headaches are.
Soon, DuoDuo’s mother discovers she is pregnant. After many days of discussion, she and DuoDuo’s father ultimately decide to keep the baby .
Everyday, DuoDuo’s grandmother tries to find different ways to make appetizing food for everyone. But DuoDuo’s mother rarely has any appetite, and her father also barely eats, only occasionally eating instant noodles.
