奶奶搬来了

Nǎinai Bān Lái Le

Grandma Moves In

When Grandpa dies, Grandma comes from her village near Yancheng to live in Nuonuo's small Shanghai flat -- and the only place for her bed is his room. She gets up at five, saves every plastic bag and talks to everyone in a dialect nobody understands. Twenty chapters: the metro, square dancing, a lost grandma, a phone lesson, five hundred steamed buns, and two beds in one room.

HSK 220 chapters
