She massaged the shoulders of an employee named He Yong after they clean the dinning table together, in her own way to express gratitude. "When Cai came here early last year, she did not talk and was afraid of people. She did not know how to do housework," said He. She is now friendly to visitors to the home. "She is the first one of us to pull a chair over to a guest," He added. In order to keep the home running, Desy and Zhang are working on two mills to make bean curd and grind peanuts. These will add to the home's property that includes three cattle and a vegetable garden. A mineral water bottling factory had been also on agenda, but was rejected by Desy who believed the factory would cause pollution.
