Chu Xingjun smiled when she saw Chu Jin holding Ye Muyu's hand. She stepped forward and handed him a piece of pastry.
"Thank you, Great Aunt." Chu Jin received the signal and said obediently.
"Mother, can I go and play for a while?" He asked as he struggled free from Ye Muyu's hand.
"Go, don't run around. It's almost dinner."
"I know. Mother, don't worry."
As Chu Jin spoke, he took a bite of the pastry and went to play with Chu Bo of the second branch, Chu Cai's family. The two of them were of the same age and had a lot to talk about.
When Xiang Ling'er arrived at the old residence, she called everyone aside and went to help in the kitchen.
The three tables in the courtyard had already been set up.
There was a table for the men, a table for the women, and a table for the children.
Soon, the hotpot was served.
There were two pots on the male table, one with a spicy soup base and one with a clear soup base.
