Alix took everyone to a restaurant that she claimed served the best porridge in the city which was perfect for the cold weather. Nobody argued with her and when they arrived, they ordered from the menu as they pleased.
Because their group was rather large, they had to occupy a private room. Only two people from the original group didn't go with them, Zhang Xian and NaNa. The two chose to go home which was best for everyone for now.
Alix was sitting between Caishen and grandpa Tai. Xiaobo was in her lap, eating the porridge which she was feeding him personally. She even blew on it for him, feeding him as if he was a baby.
The more she acted like his mother, the more grandma Zhang got excited. In fact, grandma Zhang was not the only one picturing imaginary great grandchildren, because the Tai elders were the same, only in their minds, they were picturing a little girl in Xiaobo's place.
