She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname. ” The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 6813 years younger than I am.

But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.
