From afar, I could see a woman pacing back and forth in front of my house.

She quickened her pace and, upon closer inspection, saw it was Tang Yazhu.

She was holding an enamel basin in her hands, and her face showed anxiety.

"Are you Comrade Tang Yazhu? Are you here to see Gu Hanchuan?"

When Tang Yazhu saw Qian Lai, she hesitated for a long time before speaking: "I'm sorry for bothering you."

She raised the enamel basin in her hand: "I know it must be very hard for you to take care of Hanchuan all by yourself."

He's also a picky eater.

I just wanted to do my part.

So, I went to the market early this morning and bought a chicken. Following the taste of Han Chuan, oh no, Deputy Division Commander Gu, I stewed a pot of chicken.

I added some codonopsis and astragalus. He used to always say when he stayed up all night researching materials, "Eating this will bring you back to life..."

As if recalling the past, her eyes sparkled.

Suddenly, she came to her senses and said, "Oh, sorry, what I meant was that the chicken might have a strong medicinal flavor, and I was thinking of giving it to you to help you recover."

Unfortunately, no one was home when I arrived.

Perhaps I really shouldn't have come. I'm sorry, Comrade Qian. I've disturbed you.

After saying that, she hugged the enamel basin, lowered her head, and was about to leave.

"Don't go, Comrade Yazhu. You're already here, let's go inside and talk." Qian Lai grabbed Tang Yazhu.

"You really don't mind?"

Qian Lai smiled and nodded: "Of course. I didn't have time to pursue you last time, and there are some things I've wanted to ask you about for a long time. Now that you're here, please come inside and sit down."

Tang Yazhu looked troubled.

"Please come in."

Qian Lai took out the key, opened the courtyard gate, and led Tang Yazhu into the courtyard.

This was Tang Yazhu's first time entering this courtyard, and unexpectedly, upon seeing the furnishings, tears streamed down her face.
