"I'll go with you, so we won't have to go through all that trouble tomorrow." With that, Xie Dong followed the two into the courtyard.
Aunt Fang went straight into the kitchen and came out a moment later with two jars. "Here, this one is meat sauce. I put mushrooms and diced meat in it." She handed Xie Dong a jar full of meat sauce.
"This bottle is chili sauce. I put peanuts, melon seeds, and fried chilies in it. It's very fragrant, but it's a bit spicy, so be careful when you eat it," Aunt Fang said, handing over the second bottle of sauce.
Xie Dong accepted it and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Sister Fang. I'll bring you some fresh things from the South when I come back!"
"Of course, Dongzi, you and Xiaoqi were both raised by Aunt Fang, why are you being so polite with Aunt Fang?" Aunt Fang glared at Xie Dong.
Xie Dong quickly admitted his mistake: "It was my fault, it was my fault. I apologize to Aunt Fang."
Fang's wife then smiled and said, "That's more like it."

"good."
"Isn't Grandpa home?"
Aunt Fang poured herself a glass of water: "No, the old man went to the military region."
"Military region? The one my brother is in?" Bu Ling asked curiously.
"That's the one, the one your brother came to pick up!" Aunt Fang replied.
Bu Ling had even more questions in her mind: "The person my brother came to pick up?"
Aunt Fang nodded: "Yes, your brother came with the deputy division commander. The deputy division commander and the old man talked about something in the room, and then the old man left with them, saying he would come back tomorrow."
"Something must have happened." Bling blew on the bone broth and took a sip.
"That should be it," Aunt Fang agreed wholeheartedly.
The two chatted for a while, then Aunt Fang went to make dinner. Just then, there was a noise from the doorway; it was Sangshen returning...
