At Chinese funerals, sometimes a pair of puppets was buried with the dead, and this story is about this.
I am not sure whether you have an impression of this or not. But for readers of "Dragon Ball", it is not strange because Chiaotsu takes his shape from the male puppet. Another photo below is a snapshot from a Hong Kong movie, the poor guy was asked to dress like a male puppet to avoid a disaster.
Now turning to the story, the main character is the mother of the narrator. One day, his mother received a call and was told a friend passed away. His mother then immediately left the office and went to the home of that friend. That friend came from a village in the outskirts of the city, so his mother drove herself there.
In the midway, his mother was so tired and accidentally slightly crashed into a pallet truck that carried two puppets. The owner of the truck was so angry and asked the narrator's mother to pay off it. His mother explained that she was so sorry for her carelessness because she had to hurry to attend her friend's funeral.
Hearing this, the owner ceased and told her that he was also going to attend this. The family ordered two pupppets for the dead. His mother then checked the two puppets and found them intact, only an ear of the male puppet was dislodged.
Then his mother attended the funeral in time and then left. Because she was so tired that day, after driving another while, she fell asleep in the car and dreamt a dream.
In this dream, she saw that friend invited her to visit the new home. In the narrator's mother's memory, the house looks big and nice, and there were two cute kids, a boy and a girl. His mother then stared at the two kids and found the boy had only one ear. In the dream, his mother then asked her friend why the boy had only one ear. The friend replied the boy lost one ear in a crash.
Then the narrator's mother woke from the dream and noted that the two kids were probably the puppets she had seen in the way.
