Xiao Muyu rode her bicycle home with Jiang Xiaoli. Li Guizhi greeted Xiao Muyu warmly, "Xiaoyu's here! Xiaoli, go to the kitchen and wash the peaches I bought for Xiaoyu!"
Jiang Xiaoli put down her schoolbag and went into the kitchen. She asked loudly, "Xiaoyu, do you want it hard or soft?"
Xiao Muyu walked to the kitchen doorway. "I want something that's neither too hard nor too soft."
“Hey, I’ll have to pick and choose. I only eat the hard, crunchy ones, while my mom only eats the soft ones that ooze juice when you squeeze them. There aren’t many of these that are neither hard nor soft.” Jiang Xiaoli picked and chose in the bag of peaches.
Xiao Muyu didn't hesitate, "Then give me a tough one."
"Okay."
That made things simple. Jiang Xiaoli casually picked out three bright red peaches, washed them, gave one to Xiao Muyu, and one to her mother.
Li Guizhi looked at the large bag on the table and asked, "Xiao Li, what did you bring back?"
"They're all books, borrowed from my deskmate," Jiang Xiaoli replied, taking a big bite of peach.
"You've gotten along so well with your deskmate so quickly! That's wonderful!" Li Guizhi couldn't stop smiling as she saw her daughter getting along so well with her classmates at school.
She turned to Xiao Muyu and asked, "Xiaoyu, how are you feeling after a few days of school?"
Xiao Muyu replied with a smile, "It's great, the learning atmosphere in our class is excellent."
"That's good. You and Xiaoli should study hard and see if you can get into the same university so you can look after each other."
Li Guizhi got up to cook, "Xiaoyu, what do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you."
Xiao Muyu hadn't eaten Li Guizhi's cooking in a long time. She licked her lips and said, "Auntie, I really want to eat your braised eggplant!"
Jiang Xiaoli laughed, "You really know your stuff! I actually saw an eggplant in the kitchen just now!"
Li Guizhi smiled and nodded, "What a coincidence, I specifically bought eggplants today. Okay, you two have fun, I'll go cook."
Jiang Xiaoli followed her into the kitchen. "Mom, do we still have any spicy strips? Xiaoyu wants some!"
“Whatever we do at home, we can make it on the spot if we don’t have it! Xiaoyu, wait a moment, I’ll steam it right away.”
Xiao Muyu was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, thank you for your trouble!"
Jiang Xiaoli answered for her mother, "If you're so polite at my house, I'll feel embarrassed to go to your house next time!"
Li Guizhi chimed in, "That's right, Xiaoyu, you feel right at home here with Auntie!"
The two returned to the main room, and Xiao Muyu pointed to the book Xie Yitao had lent to Jiang Xiaoli, "You're already studying the textbooks for the second and third years of high school. Are you planning to skip a grade?"
