Before Christmas, Tambu along with Nyasha, Maiguru, and Babamuruku go back to Shona, but Chido doesn't return with them. As they get there, Tambu doesn't see it the same as she used to, because now she has been staying in a much nicer place so its like what she used to have isn't good enough for her anymore. Nothing is clean enough for her to really want to use. She sees that one of her aunts is pregnant with her lazy uncle who isn't suppose to be living in the homestead anymore.
Tambu also sees that her mother is pregnant, but is also ill and weak and cannot work a lot at the time. They are having to make lots of food for everyone who is there, but it is a big job for all the women. Some of the meat starts to rot but the women will be the ones who must eat it, and they keep the rest of the meat good for the men. Babamukuru has a meeting with everyone in the homestead but things didn't turn out too well after the meeting.
