Seeing Chuanrui drinking happily, Xu Yan coughed awkwardly but didn't say anything. Instead, she gave Chuanrui another bowl after he finished his.
Chuanrui is even happier now, his wife and daughter treat him so well.
"Hey, why aren't you guys drinking?"
After Chuanrui drank two bowls, seeing that no one else was drinking, Wenxue was still holding a bowl of fish soup, frowning with difficulty. She couldn't bring herself to drink it and didn't know who to give the bowl of fish soup to.
Chuanrui looked at them with suspicion, but the others laughed it off, saying, "We're not hungry, you need to eat more. Here, have another bowl!"

"No, no, no, I'll be fine with dry rations."
Smoke curled from chimneys along the stream, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"By the way, Mother, don't you and Father need to look after the shop anymore?"
Chuanwen ate the pastries Xu Yan had brought her and asked curiously, "It seems like my parents haven't been as busy lately. [Is business at the shop not doing well?]"
