Chương 23: Chapter 023: Excuse me, could you point the way

"Miss Ning, Miss Sui."

From afar, Mrs. Liu waved her hand, "Come over quickly, I've saved a spot for you."

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Qingning hastily led Zhuang Qingsui over, and put down the bamboo basket she was carrying: "Thank you, ma'am."

"What's there to be polite about?" Mrs. Liu chuckled, pulling a small bench from beside her, "There's too much to fit in my basket, so I brought an extra bench. You two can take turns sitting. It would be too tiring to stand the whole time."

"Thank you, ma'am." Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui expressed their gratitude once again.

"Did Uncle Ge not show up today?" Zhuang Qingning asked, looking at the empty spot beside her.

"He hasn't shown up yet, but don't worry about him. He's always messing around, one moment he's fishing and the next he's mending his nets. Who knows what's detaining him today."
