The old man was proud to talk about the vegetables in his yard, and he even participated in planting them himself.
“Over there, I planted a lot of flowers for your mom, as well as some potted plants. When it gets cold, we’ll move them into the greenhouse so they can bloom even in winter. Yinyin said we’ll use a stove in the greenhouse during winter.”
Grandpa was talking happily, and Grandma sat to the side, listening with a beaming smile.
They could sense the joy in the two elderly people's voices; they were comfortable living with Shurui. It wasn't because of their material conditions, but mainly because of their emotional well-being.
When Mr. Lu arrived, the people in the courtyard were having a good time.
"Mom and Dad, I've brought you some gifts for the holiday."
"Just leave it there. Shurui went to your house. Has he come back yet?"

There were ready-made zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) at home, as well as a pot of braised food by Aunt Hu, including chicken feet, duck feet, eggs, pork belly, lotus root slices, dried tofu rolls... a whole big pot full, and she even sent some to the shop.
The child didn't come home at noon; he must have been having lunch with Professor An. Yu Yin also brought him some braised meats, roast chicken, and braised pork belly with preserved vegetables... all prepared by Aunt Hu, just need to be heated up and eaten.
At noon, Lu Shurui returned, and everyone had a hearty lunch together.
