They had been shopping from morning until afternoon; once back home, Lu Jingqiu didn't even eat dinner and slept straight through to the next morning.
Jiang Nanzhou and Grandpa had already prepared gifts for their visit to Dad's side, consisting of several boxes of cigarettes, two bottles of alcohol, some fruits, and brown sugar.
Typically, families prepare their own fried dough twists and other snacks.
Once they stepped outside, they found that every family in the courtyard was visiting relatives, with either tote bags hanging on the fronts of their bicycles or baskets on the back, bulging with items.
Of course, they were no different.
Grandpa saw them to the door and said, "It's colder today than yesterday, and the ground is slippery. Be careful with the bike."
"Got it, Grandpa. The food is warming on the stove. Remember to take it off and eat at noon."
"Don't worry about me. I won't go hungry—a phone call and the orderly will be here."
"Okay."
