Lin Xia had dinner with Grandma Zhao, and she tidied up everything that needed to be tidied.
"Grandma! You stay at home, I'll go switch with Second Brother so he can come home for a meal."
They cooked the meal early, and after finishing it was just noon, they hurried to finish stuffing the sausages so Grandma Zhao could go home earlier.
Otherwise, by four o'clock it would be dark, and the roads would be unsafe in the freezing cold.
Grandma Zhao disagreed, "Why do that! Xiaolin, I'll go with you to fetch him, and right after he finishes eating, he can chop the meat. We can chat for a bit too!
It's been such a long time since we last met, I always feel like there's endless things to talk about!"
Even though she was close with Xiaolin, she felt embarrassed to linger around someone else's home by herself.
Lin Xia thought it was okay, and she could see Grandma Zhao's embarrassment.
