"He should be back by the beginning of next month at the latest."
So the latest would be the beginning of the winter month.
Well, that's not too late.
Zhuang Qingning nodded thoughtfully.
"Why does my sister suddenly ask about this?" Zhuang Qingsui asked, somewhat surprised.
"Nothing special. I was just thinking about the life-saving grace of Master Chu. If he comes back, we can give him some cakes and other treats as a token of our gratitude."
To return a favor is a virtue. Though the Chu family seems to lack nothing, that's their concern. As for our family, it is imperative to express our gratitude.
Despite her young age, Zhuang Qingsui understood this and nodded, "You're right, sister."
"But since you mentioned cakes, could you also make me some?"
Zhuang Qingsui giggled, "The lotus cakes you made last time were delicious. Jinzhou also misses them. Can you make some for us tomorrow?"
