Qian Shikun's wife, Liao Furong, appeared younger than Qian Shikun, probably in her forties.
After chatting with everyone for a while, she went to cook with her daughter-in-law.
He Tiantian followed them, offering to help.
"Aunt Qian, let me help," He Tiantian said with a smile. She couldn't get a word in edgewise among the men talking inside, so she thought it better to come out and be of assistance.
"No need, Tiantian," Liao Furong declined, "Just sit inside for a while; it will be ready soon."
"It's alright, I can't really join in the conversation inside anyway." He Tiantian had already squatted down and started picking through the chives.
Xie Wanying was stir-frying and smiled when she saw He Tiantian, "Thank you for the trouble."
"It's no trouble," He Tiantian replied, "I heard you're planning to leave after the Lantern Festival."
