After both had calmed down and seated themselves for over ten minutes, Li Xianglu consoled, "Grandpa, don't be sad anymore. Aren't we together now?"
With that, she handed over a handkerchief, which Mr. Li accepted with a smile, wiping away his tears before addressing those around him, "This is my granddaughter, Li Xianglu, Xiangxiang. This young man here is An Chenggang, the younger son of grandpa's comrade-in-arms. You can call him Uncle. And that's your uncle's wife, call her little aunt."
Li Xianglu politely greeted, "Uncle, little aunt."
Both of them responded with a delighted exclamation, and Xu Hui, feeling embarrassed, rubbed her hands together and said, "I got so flustered earlier that I forgot to pour water for everyone."
With that, she headed towards the corridor and soon returned with an old kettle, pouring a bowl of hot water for each of them. Then she apologized, "Uncle Li, we don't have any tea at home."
