Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao's smiles froze on their faces in an instant.
They exchanged a glance, and Ge Liutao immediately wiped her hands on her apron, saying, "I still have dishes on the stove, I better go check on the fire right away, don't want anything to burn."
With that, she made her escape.
Chiang Songhai paused for a moment, then said to Chiang Yuequn, "Yuequn, didn't I just say? In a couple of days, we'll need to go back for a big clean-up, and we might still stay there for a couple of days over the New Year. You should go back and discuss with your dad, see if you can clear out a room for yourselves. There's always a way if you move things around."
"Second Uncle..."
"It's getting dark, and your family must be waiting for you to have dinner. You should go back and talk it over with your parents, don't keep them waiting too long. The road is not easy to travel when it's dark, so I won't keep you any longer," he added.
