After the pineapples are unloaded, Ku leaves his wife behind to tend the stall along with her younger sister, while he himself goes off to hang out at any of several of his favorite haunts. He might go read newspapers at the sleepy little ward office near the temple, or perhaps head off for a nearby covered sidewalk and sit down for a chat with the shopkeepers.
到了定點，卸好貨，古德福不改客家大男人習性，要不逛到廟口村里幹事辦公室去看報紙，要不坐進騎樓下和商家主人閒話家常，留下老伴張長妹和前來幫忙的小姨子兩人照顧攤位。
