Gu Zixiao looked over and smiled, "I bought it when I went out for the second time."

I saw Lan Yao eating hot pot yesterday, and it looked like she was enjoying it very much.

However, he still noticed the disappointment that flashed in Lan Yao's eyes.

Gu Zixiao quickly figured out what was going on.

So, on his second trip out, he bought a lot of sesame paste and left it at Grandma Yu's house, thinking that Lan Yao would definitely need sesame paste if she wanted to eat hot pot someday.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"That's wonderful."

Lan Yao happily mixed the sesame paste. When it was almost done, she added white sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic that she had chopped herself, and a little bit of white vinegar.

If you have red chili sauce, add a little more, and also some cilantro for an even better result.

Unfortunately, this is all we have for now; it's barely enough to make do with.

It's much better than having nothing at all.

Once everything was ready, the group of them happily began to enjoy their hot pot meal.

Over at the military family compound, there's the Gu family.

The Gu family was just about to have dinner when someone knocked on their door.

The Gu family's grandson left the dining table and scurried off to open the door.

A little while later, he came running in, beaming, with a handful of pretty candies. "Mom, Mom, Sister Wenxin is here!"

Yao Guoxiang took her youngest son's hand and looked at Zhang Wenxin who walked in with a smile: "Wenxin, have you eaten? If not, why don't you sit down and eat with us?"

Zhang Wenxin waved her hand somewhat shyly and asked, "I heard that Brother Zixiao is back. I wonder if he's here?"
