As for Xu Erhong and Liu Guimei, they were busy in the kitchen, Xu Erhong stoking the fire while Liu Guimei was in charge of washing the vegetables.
Xu Niannian, carrying a basket on her back, walked in and said crisply, "Granny, I've come to see you."
The elderly lady was occupied with stitching shoe soles for her eldest granddaughter, but upon hearing the voice, she immediately put them down.
Seeing her treasured eldest granddaughter, the old lady's face bloomed into a smile.
"Oh, my dear big treasure, why have you come?"
Xu Sisi glanced over and shook her head without a word; her grandmother never showed her a friendly face but always looked at her cousin as if she was seeing gold and jewels.
Xu Niannian put her basket down on the ground and told the old lady, "Granny, I went to sell things in the county town today and bought you some tasty treats."
