In the end, Aunt Zhang had to say, "Shi Tou, this snack of yours has been open for a few days now. Don't let it spoil Lele's stomach."
Gu Zi, noticing Aunt Zhang's unease, reached out and took a piece of the spicy snack, reassuring her, "It's alright, these snacks can be eaten even after a few days." She then passed the snack to Lele, and only then did Aunt Zhang's face relax. Shi Tou, who had been unsure of what to do, also broke into a smile.
Aunt Zhang felt she might have been overthinking. Gu Zi was meticulous in her daily life, but not overly delicate. In reality, the snack could indeed be eaten even after a few days.
Seeing Shi Tou gulp, Gu Zi realized that this snack was something Shi Tou cherished. She couldn't help but laugh and said to Shi Tou, "Shi Tou, you can share this with your sister. It's even more delicious when everyone eats together. But first, could you go wash your hands?"
