"Xu Qinghe, oh it's you! What brings you here?" Deng Juan called out his name right away, even though he rarely came by. But Ji Shan was always talking about how tough things were for their family and how they ought to help them more. Even if Deng Juan wanted to forget, it was hard.
"Third sister-in-law, we're here to see Dad." Xu Qinghe also noticed how cramped it was and took a few steps into the living room.
Deng Juan walked into the room and finally saw Ji Ying kneeling by the bed, crying like a waterfall, with her son and daughter squatting next to her—that must be them.
"Ji Ying, now that you're here, Dad's happy." Deng Juan was all smiles, and she said warmly, "I'm cooking right now. You'll be able to eat in a bit."
As she spoke, Deng Juan turned to leave, pulling Ji Shuyuan out with her, face full of delight as she asked, "All those things, were they from your aunt's family?"
"Yes." Ji Shuyuan nodded his head.
