The fact that Mei-Mei was not making a fuss even though she was being carried by a stranger made Chi Lian realize that as her daughter grew up, she would have to have many conversations about stranger danger.
The old madam and her husband were struck first by the level of familiarity this strange woman was exhibiting. Then her accent also stunned them, the way she greeted them in their language was so ….off key the old madam thought. There was a specific twang to her pronunciation. If Ringo was here he would remind his grandmother that she too sounded off key when she spoke the English language.
"Welcome to our home." The old madam responded to Mrs. Smith. "We are happy to meet you, I am Ran and this is my husband Mr. Jun Mengzi."
The Smiths came forward and introduced themselves politely before taking a seat.
