Dealing with the fish was an activity held in the courtyard, but Tang Xiaojiu, who was inside the house, woke up naturally, as if connected by telepathy.
By now, Tang Xiaojiu had realized that every time Tang Xian's cooking involved fish, scales needed to be removed. So she squatted beside him, helping to scrape off the fish scales.
Tang Xian didn't point out that Tang Xiaojiu's interest was more in playing with the fish than actually preparing it.
It didn't take long before the fish were all dead from the handling.
"Big sister, you're here," Tang Xiaojiu still remembered Qiao Shanshan.
Qiao Shanshan nodded, also remembering the little girl who had looked so doubtful about life after eating a Bogen Fruit.
"My name is Qiao Shanshan."
"Sister Qiao."
Qiao Shanshan remembered how Tang Xiaojiu used to address Dong Ran, suspecting that this was related to Tang Xian, so she preemptively told Tang Xiaojiu her own name.
