Xiao Wei nodded and added, "I told Grandpa Hu about coming to dinner tomorrow, but Grandpa Hu said the time wasn't right."
Is it not the right time to have a meal together during the Dragon Boat Festival?
Bai Lu looked up at Xiao Cheng, who was already used to it: "Let him be."
Bai Lu became increasingly curious about the old man who was well-versed in metaphysics and had repeatedly helped Xiao Cheng out of danger, but she couldn't force him to come if no one else did.
It is even more inappropriate to visit them in person, as there are certain rules to follow in Taoism.
Bai Lu stared at the love knot in Xiao Wei's hand: "When Grandpa Hu gave you the love knot, did he say anything else?"
Xiao Wei glanced at his older brother, who was dividing zongzi into bowls for his sister-in-law, and then handed the love knot to Bai Lu.
"The knot of hearts was given to you and your older brother by Grandpa Hu."
Bai Lu paused, intending to take the love knot to admire it, but now she felt it was too hot to handle.
If this simple love knot were a gift from an ordinary person, it would be fine, without any ulterior motive.
Neither the intention nor the ability could be altered.
However, what Master Hu sent was a big deal.
Looking at the girl's thoughtful face, Xiao Cheng said softly, "The zongzi will get cold if you don't eat it soon."
Bai Lu snapped out of her thoughts, walked over slowly, and handed the love knot to Xiao Cheng: "He gave it to you."
Xiao Cheng glanced down at it, his tone calm and even: "You can keep it."
Just as Bai Lu was about to politely decline, a soft, childish cry of pain, "Hiss!" came from the direction of the stove.
Bai Lu immediately put away the love knot and went over to check the little guy's injury: "Where did you get burned?"
"It's nothing. I was in such a hurry to get the rice dumpling that I didn't notice and it burned me a little. I'm not hurt." Xiao Wei showed Bai Lu a small, slightly red section of his index finger.
Bai Lu looked at it carefully several times, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that nothing was wrong: "The freshly cooked zongzi is very hot, and you can easily burn your hands if you're not careful. Next time you want to eat some, just ask me to get them, or you can use a ladle to scoop them out. Don't grab them with your bare hands anymore, it's easy to get hurt, okay?"
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Wei pointed to the rice dumplings on the stove and said, "Sister-in-law, let's take these rice dumplings over and eat them with my brother."
"OK."
"Yay! Big brother and sister-in-law are eating zongzi!"
