"Second Aunt, I understand. My mom is preparing things. My grandparents are living alone now. Xuanyi and I will go over to keep them company. I know what to do."
Gu Xuanyu understood what his second aunt meant; his parents were pursuing official careers, and their reputation was very important.
In the evening, I still need to remind Xuanyi a few things not to say.
Bonnie said everything she needed to say and then went back to doing her own thing.
The last batch of vegetables in the garden has ripened and needs to be picked and dried. The others were planted later and will take a few more days to ripen.
The fish in the pond grow rather slowly, so we probably won't be able to eat them this year. Maybe before the new year, but Bonnie isn't in a hurry.
School starts in a few days, so Bonnie dried the vegetables and prepared to move them back to the military compound.

Xuanyu didn't let his grandma cut the watermelon; he really ate quite a lot for breakfast.
Grandpa Shen asked about life in the south, but didn't inquire about anything else. After what happened last time, his daughter had become estranged from them.
The two children stayed to chat with the two elderly people for a while, and only went home after having lunch.
Grandma Shen wanted the two of them to stay for a few days, but Xuanyu said he still had homework to finish and needed to go back to catch up.
"Our children aren't close to us anymore!"
The old lady felt a little sad. She was much closer to her maternal grandmother's house when she was little, but now... sigh...
Old Master Shen didn't say anything, but he knew perfectly well why.
The two children who left also breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a strange unease.
