Grandma Ke and Ke Meiyu were both puzzled; they hadn't heard anything about it. Their family was usually very busy, leaving early and returning late, and they hadn't had time to notice that the people across the street had changed.
The old lady has been performing in several places recently and hasn't had time to chat with people.
However, the old lady still stood up and curiously opened the door.
Some of the snowflakes outside were immediately swept in by the wind, and the old lady turned aside with a smile to let them in.
"Hello, Auntie. We're from across the hall. We just moved in yesterday. After settling in, my niece baked some cookies for everyone to try, so we can all get to know each other." The woman who came was in her fifties. She was holding two brown paper bags and handed them over with a smile.
