"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong..."
The doorbell rang.
Ren Miao hurried over, pulled open the door, and couldn't help but be startled.
"Uncle Dai."
"Miao Miao at home?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Ren Miao quickly stepped aside to let him in.
"Please come in, Uncle Dai."
Although the two families had known each other for many years, as business grew larger and busier, visits like these had become increasingly rare.
"Dad, Uncle Dai is here."
Ren Miao called out hurriedly.
Ren Yan came down the stairs.
"Is Weng Chun not at home?"
Dai Hui asked casually.
"She's out shopping for groceries."
"You, you're really lucky, meeting all the good women."
Ren Yan didn't comment but instructed his daughter, "Pour some tea for your Uncle Dai."
The two men sat down.
"If there was something, you could have just called me over, no need to make the trip yourself."
"What are you saying, are you not welcoming me to visit?"
