"Mom, Dad, what brings you here?" Li Yan and Dong Xuezhan went up to greet them with sheepish smiles. "Have you eaten yet? Why don't you join us?"
"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom made fish soup today, and it's absolutely delicious! You should stay and eat with us," Dong Xinran said, skipping over and hugging Grandma Dong's waist. Her parents both had jobs, so when she was little, she had been raised almost entirely by Grandpa and Grandma Dong. The bond between the grandparents and their grandchild had always been very strong.
"That's right, Mom, Dad. I just finished making it and was about to bring some over. It's perfect that you're here, so you can sit down and have some with us. It saves us a trip," Li Yan said with a smile. She wasn't just being polite.
Grandpa and Grandma Dong lived nearby, less than a five-minute walk away.
