"Son, how was school today? Did you meet any new classmates? Did you have fun?"
After A-Lu answered his mother's question carefully, Tang Li poured him another cup of tea.
What have you been learning lately?
...
From beginning to end, Lu Jianshen was like a wisp of air; no one paid him any attention, and no one even said a word to him.
Aside from Ah Lu saying, "Dad, can you pour me some drinks?"
Lu Jianshen: "Oh!"
It seemed that Tang Li only noticed Lu Jianshen at this moment.
"Why haven't you said a word tonight? Are you in a bad mood?"
Did you give him a chance to speak?
The mother and son chatted happily, one after the other.
He was just an empty shell next to me, only stopping for a bite to eat in the middle and then paying the bill at the end.

The tomato sauce from the pasta splashed onto Tang Li, staining her white coat with tiny red spots.
A-Lu was startled and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Mom, I got your clothes dirty."
"It's okay, baby, Mommy's going to the bathroom to take care of it."
Tang Li had just gotten up and gone to the restroom when Lu Jianshen immediately followed.
Ah Lu sees through it but doesn't say anything; let the adults handle their own affairs.
Tang Li stayed in the bathroom for a while and did some simple cleaning of the stains on her clothes.
She had barely stepped out and hadn't even stood up properly when Lu Jianshen grabbed her wrist and pulled her aside.
"What are you really thinking? Do you plan to continue like this?"
