"Chicken stew, tomato scrambled eggs, and a dish of spicy rabbit meat.
Three dishes were not yet ready, but the fragrance filled the courtyard.
Granny Zhang now believed her daughter's words, as she sat in the courtyard swallowing hard.
Good heavens, why does it smell so delicious? It's making her crave it to death. She's lived for more than half a lifetime and has never craved anything like this.
It wasn't just Granny Zhang who was drooling, the two families next door were suffering too.
Sniffing the tantalizing aroma, they craned their necks over the wall, curious as could be, and as soon as they saw Mrs. Xu in the courtyard, they instantly understood what was going on.
'I was wondering why there was such a delicious smell, turns out Guiying has come back.'
Mrs. Xu smiled, 'Yeah, she's back and we couldn't just come back empty-handed, so we bought some meat.
