Everyone in the Shi family was surprised and excited by the news that Yun Nan would personally cook for them, and they arrived at Shi Nian's house early.
Shi Nian looked at the suddenly crowded living room, and his face darkened. "We said to come over at lunchtime! What are you all doing here so early?"
Xu Yun ignored her son's displeasure and beamed, "We came to see if Yun Nan needs help! After all, many hands make light work!" And with that said, she pushed her son out of her way and went into the kitchen.
Shi Xiu yawned at her brother and lightly shoved him, mumbling, "I'm still sleepy. I'm going to take a nap in your bedroom."
She then went upstairs, and Shi Nian saw that his grandpa and his father—Shi Kong and Shi Yun—were on the balcony, admiring and praising Yun Nan's painting. Shi Nian stood in his own house and felt like an ornament—an obstructive one at that. He sighed and headed to the kitchen.
