Her daughter occasionally coming to stay with the old couple? Ren He had not considered this before. After thinking, he said, "She can, but she can't have a key, that's a principle."
Anyway, every room in the courtyard is quite large, and when their girl comes over, she can just stay in the same room as them, no problem. It wasn't easy for the old couple to come to the Capital, so Ren He simply agreed.
When the old couple heard what Ren He said, they were reassured, "Rest assured, certainly!"
By the afternoon, Ren He discovered that the old couple were truly diligent. In no time at all, they had peeled the green husks off the walnuts he had picked and laid them out to dry in the courtyard. The ripe dates and persimmons were also picked and placed in Ren He's room on plates.
The ground under the persimmon tree had previously been unsightly with overripe fruits fallen and smashed, but by the afternoon, everything was cleaned up.
