She was pulling the black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The kitchen was filled with terrible piles of raw food: a big fish with shining eyes that begged not to be thrown into a pan of hot oil; tofu, which looked like bricks made of chalk; a bowl, soaking dried mushrooms back to life and a plate of squid, their backs cut so that they looked like bicycle tires.,4 And then they arrivedthe ministers family and all my relatives with a lot of doorbell ringing and Christmas packages of all shapes and sizes.

My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and his family waited patiently for the dishes to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Roberts face twisted in an unpleasant way.
