After dinner time had passed, Zhou Shuren and Big Zhou hadn't returned home. Zhulan knew Zhou Shuren wouldn't be coming back for dinner; she found herself missing cellphones again. How convenient it would have been to get notifications. In this darn ancient era, you had to wait until the food got cold before you could be sure someone wasn't coming back.
Zhulan gestured for Lady Li to reheat the soup. They hadn't prepared many dishes that day: three dishes and one soup. The soup was a stewed crucian carp soup, which they'd made without salt for Xue Mei, and they brought two large pots of it to the table.
After dinner, Zhulan saw Ming Teng reluctant to leave. "Ming Teng, do you miss Daddy?"
Ming Teng, "......I miss Grandpa."
Yu Lu uncovered her second brother's real motive, "When Grandpa left, he said he would take Second Brother horse riding when he came back."
