Lin Guozhu and Wu Shufen returned from Lexing, bringing back a quilt cover and a jar of sweet wine.
Lin Guozhu placed the wine jar in front of Lin Lan and teased with a smile, "Our little wine connoisseur, look! Your aunt made this sweet wine especially for you."
"Hee hee!" Lin Lan grinned at him, looking pleased.
Wu Shufen, delighted to see her niece after several days, smiled and handed over the quilt cover. "This is from your aunt."
"Thank you, Aunt!" Lin Lan said with a smile, taking it and thanking Wu Shufang again.
Lin Changyou said cheerfully, "Guodong and Shi Tou are out back cleaning fish. Go on, start cooking the dishes and the fish so we can eat."
The women went to the backyard to help prepare the vegetables and cook, while the men played cards in the shop.
When Wu Shufen got to the backyard, she noticed the old woman was gone and asked in surprise, "Where did Grandaunt go?"
