The family’s most favorite possession is their grandson. Their next big plan is to buy some food. Their dream is to be able to buy cooking oil and food supplies.

The family lives in China. W is 70 years old and is a small-scale farmer. His wife X is 74 years old and is also a farmer. Their daughter B is 42 years old and works as a labourer in the city. The grandson O is 13 years old and is a student in a boarding school far away from their village. Together, the family works for 264 hours/week but B, who works in the city, is the only one earning an income. The family lives in a two-bedroom house, which they own. They’ve been living there for the past year but they also grew up in the area. They like the house’s size but they don’t like its quality. The house has electricity but it fails several times a week. There is no toilet. They also own agricultural land. The family produces 100% of their food. Water is available outside the home but is not safe to drink. They use wood and agricultural crop as fuel for cooking. The family saves very little money. They’ve never been on a vacation. The next thing they plan to spend money on is food. Their dream is to be able to buy cooking oil and more food supplies.
