"Uncle, look! There are nine of us who dine together at our house—the second uncle and his wife, my dad and mom, as well as grandfather and grandmother. Grandmother said that in another month, I'll have a little brother or sister from auntie's belly to play with, and then I'll have company. After that, I won't be able to sit and eat with you anymore, Uncle; you'll be all alone. Just think about it! Even I won't be there to keep you company; you're going to be very pitiful." Little Jinzi expressed her concerns earnestly, her thoughts reaching far into the future.
The key thing is, the little girl doesn't really understand the principles she's talking about, but what she says makes sense. She has no idea what getting married means, but everyone in the family is paired up, and she's about to have a companion too. When that time comes and she doesn't have time to accompany her uncle, he'll be all on his own—won't that be so pitiful? What she says is impressively insightful, isn't it!
