“Eat more, Meddy. You should keep your strength up for tomorrow.”
The quote illustrates the caring nature of Meddy's culture. Despite Meddy complaining that her family controls everything she does, at least she demonstrates that the family is caring and proud of her. Her Chinese relatives ensure that every person is well taken care of, especially during meals. In this case, the Big Aunt is concerned about Meddy's well-being in the coming days, and she reminds her of the significance of eating well. Consequently, Meddy might think that the family is wrong when it corrects her to do certain things according to a specified order, but the truth is that the family cares for her.
“We are all counting on each other.”
Meddy’s family runs a wedding business, and there is a task ahead of them which entails conducting a ceremony on the island in the coming days. While taking their meal, Big Aunt reminds fellow family members of the respective responsibilities each has to undertake before the big day. Meddy is expected to perfect her food serving skills and treat visitors well. Currently, Meddy shows her excellent skills in attending to visitors when she serves every member of the family with humility.
“Apa ya, the name of that App Meddy make me use for hairstyle. Pin-something.”
Meddy’s Second Aunt is the most hilarious. She relies on Meddy for many things, including making her hairstyle look great. The wedding day is around the corner, and the Second Aunt remembers that her hair must look stunning before she meets the bride. However, she remembers that Meddy is the one who can help her locate the application that she uses to make her hair great. Interestingly, the Second Aunty now fully relies on Meddy’s intervention to locate the Pinterest App. The Big Aunty teases Meddy to ignore her Second Aunt, but she offers to help. Consequently, the significance of each member in this family is stunning because everyone plays a vital role in helping one another to achieve their set goals in time.
