"The Gu Family sent a letter the day before yesterday. They said that they would definitely come back on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony. This is the first time your father and grandfather have officially met after so many years. Mother knows that you have many ideas. Can you think of a way to help your Father and grandfather resolve the issue in their hearts?"
Xiaoxiao recalled how Father had been engrossed in studying the new dishes in the kitchen these few days. She patted her chest and said, "Mother, don't worry. Leave it to me!" The key was that this was not difficult. Father had always been good at cooking and he had never been troubled even when he made lists for the Emperor. How could he be troubled by the menu of a mere coming-of-age ceremony? It was all because the guests were a little special.
They were especially important, probably, and especially missed.
