Liao Zhaoji was pushed backward and, in a moment of inattention, tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground, her basket tumbling and spilling out four red eggs marked with the character for 'double happiness' that rolled away.
Liao Zhaoji, not even trying to get up first, crawled on the ground trying to collect the eggs.
As she rushed to explain to Ruanlin Family, "Mother, I didn't mean to cause a fuss, I came to invite you to a wedding banquet, Laifu is starting the celebration in a couple of days, I specially came to invite you to have a drink of joy..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw a foot land right in front of the last egg.
She lifted her head.
And saw her own son's dark, sullen face.
"Chizi." Seeing Ruan Chi's icy expression, Liao Zhaoji was seized with sudden panic and, after stammering for a long time, finally managed to say dryly, "You... you've finished school?"
Ruan Chi looked down from on high at his mother, crawling on the ground to pick up eggs.
