Yan Huaiqing kissed her forehead, pulled the quilt over her and himself, turned off the lights and held her to sleep.
The next day, when there was movement in his arms, Yan Huaiqing opened his eyes and kissed her forehead, "I'll go upstairs to make you some porridge, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, do you want some?"
"drink."
"Then wash up and come up to me."
"Yeah." She responded lazily.
Yan Huaiqing went upstairs, washed up and started to cook porridge. After putting all the ingredients into the pot, he saw that she hadn't come up yet, so he prepared to open the door and go downstairs.
When he opened the door, he saw her wrapped in a small blanket, preparing for facial recognition, with a box in her hand. Yan Huaiqing smiled and hugged her in his arms, took the box and placed it in the entrance, touched her hand, and was relieved to find that she was not cold.
"Sister, give me a kiss."
Luo Qingman kissed the corner of his lips and pointed at the box on the entrance, "Do you want some sesame cake? Nancheng brought it back. My great-grandmother used to make it for me when I was a child. Now my grandma makes it for me."
"Eat, sister feed me." Yan Huaiqing picked up the box and carried her to the sofa. "Is grandma still here?"
"He's gone. He's been gone for several years. He was ninety-nine years old. It's considered a happy death." Luo Qingman opened the box, picked up a sesame cake and handed it to his lips. "Open your mouth. The more you chew, the sweeter it will become. The sesame flavor will become stronger and stronger. It's very fragrant."
"When I was a kid, I was greedy, so when I went back to my hometown, I would go to my great-grandmother and pester her to make delicious food. The older generation was reluctant to give up the land at home, so they would grow some things."
"Every time my father took me back to my hometown, she was very happy. She would take out the stored food to make delicious food for me, and also give me the delicious food that my uncles and aunts gave her as a gift."
"Although my father and brother are extremely talented in business, we moved to Mingcheng, but my grandparents were used to living in South City and didn't come over to live with my uncle and his family."
"We go back to Nancheng every year to celebrate the New Year together. My grandparents like to live in the countryside, saying that they have company and the festive atmosphere will be stronger."
"It's delicious." Yan Huaiqing held her wrist and passed the cake to her lips, "I'll fly to South City to see you on the second day of the New Year, okay?"
"Don't you want to celebrate the New Year or something?"
"We don't have many relatives, so we can finish visiting them on New Year's Day."
"Sure, I have a lot of relatives. You might forget who is who after recognizing them all." Luo Qingman took a bite of the sesame cake along the hole he had bitten. "I have eight or nine cousins alone."
"In the south, clan relations are more important. I have a high generation in the village. People who are the same age as me call me aunt, and some who are one or two years younger than me call me great aunt."
"I'll just follow your lead." Yan Huaiqing poured her a glass of water, and when he saw that it was about the right temperature, he fed it to her. "You can also listen to others calling me grandpa, and raise your status."
"Anyway, I'm not a human."
Luo Qing glanced at him and said, "Of course I know you are not. You are so shameless in front of me."
After eating a sesame cake, Yan Huaiqing went to check the porridge. It was cooked very quickly because it was cooked in a pressure cooker.
After finishing breakfast, Yan Huaiqing pulled Luo Qingman into his bedroom, "Sister, choose some clothes for me to wear when meeting my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Luo Qingman's fingertips brushed over his clothes and picked out the ones she liked, "Why did you leave out the word 'future'?"
"Sooner or later."
Luo Qingman handed him the clothes and said without denying, "Put them on."
"Sister, help me change it." Yan Huaiqing smiled and put the lining back in her hand.
Luo Qingman glanced at him and felt that his smile was malicious. She calmed herself down and said, "Take off your pajamas."
