The next day, Zhou Shuren took Ming Qing out for social calls, leaving Zhulan at home with the two children. The household of Lady Li was also busy, with relatives flocking in; she hurriedly left after preparing breakfast and didn't need to take food home anymore.
Xue Han was embroidering a handkerchief, "Mom, the family must know that dad has become a Scholar, right?"
Zhulan put down the threads she had sorted, "Yes."
Ming Teng, with chubby hands holding a biscuit, asked, "Grandma, are we going back home?"
He liked Pingzhou so much, where each meal had several dishes, and during Grandpa's exams, even more treats were available daily. He had tasted many delicious things he'd never had before and did not want to go home.
Zhulan asked, "You don't want to go home? Don't you miss Mingyun, and your parents?"
Ming Teng replied decisively, "When mom and dad are at home, there's not much to miss about eating and drinking well; I miss big brother even less."
