Fuqiang's family is very busy this Saturday. Grandma and Grandpa Wang are coming to visit tomorrow! They haven't seen them for half a year. Fuqiang can't wait to show them his new paintings.
Everyone is helping to get ready for their arrival. Fuqiang's dad is cleaning the living room. His mum is in the kitchen. She is making a big cake. To make it better, she decides to add some more fruit. "We need more eggs for the cake," she says. "Fuqiang, can you borrow some eggs from our neighbour, Auntie Li?" Fuqiang happily agrees and runs next door.
Fuqiang's brother, Weiming, is not so happy. He is tidying up his own room. It's a big job because his books and clothes are everywhere. "Why do I have to clean everything just because grandparents are coming?" he thinks. But he knows a clean and tidy home will make them feel welcome. After an hour of work, the house looks much nicer. The living room is clean, the cake smells wonderful, and Weiming's room is finally organized. Now, the family are ready. They will all sit together, talking excitedly with Grandma and Grandpa tomorrow.
