Zhou Shuang could sense her concern, and a streak of surprise shot across her eyes. But she didn't stop.
Lu Yinan's mother stared at Zhou Shuang's back and she softly muttered, "I don't understand the minds of the young people these days. Why is being as skinny as a monkey considered pretty?"
Lu Huanyan overheard her grandmother, and she quipped, "It's ugly when you're fat."
…
Lu Yinan's mother disregarded Yanyan's remarks and poured soup into a bowl. She bent and sat on the edge of the bed and scooped some with a spoon. "Jiaojiao, drink some," said Lu Yinan's mother as she blew on the soup.
Jiaojiao drank it and she asked, "Grandmother, where is Daddy?"
Lu Yinan's mother pointed in the couch's direction. "He is sleeping there. Be quiet."
"Mommy and Daddy are together," Jiaojiao proclaimed happily.
Lu Yinan's mother's widened her eyes in surprise. "Really?"
Jiaojiao nodded ferociously. "They slept together just now."
