Cheng Yue and the others finished making the Little Monk's summer robe and "Primitive grass-weaving" sandals and had them delivered to him, along with some vegetarian treats. Monkey Brother came back yesterday, so they took the opportunity to bring him along to visit his old master.
Cheng Yue was not fond of Qian Yixiu going out on long trips, but when she heard it was to visit the Little Monk, she agreed as well. She even said, "Tell Hongji to come and visit us, Mother misses him."
Dressed in soft-soled green shoes with yellow flowers, Qian Yixiu stepped out of the house. Once on the ox cart, she took a pair of old shoes out of her bag and put them on. Climbing shoes were bound to get muddy, and she didn't want to upset her little mother again.
Seeing her like this, Qian Yeejin joked, promising empty promises, "When your brother makes something of himself in the future, I'll let you ride in a palanquin up the mountain, so your shoes won't get dirty."
