She and Jiang Ning left the fish stall and wandered towards the little rabbit stall.
Xue Chuchu spoke up: "Let's go home, it's getting late, it's almost dark."
Xue Yuantong, still in high spirits, asked: "Oh my, Chuchu, are you solar-powered?"
Xue Chuchu shut her mouth and said nothing.
Seeing Chuchu fall silent, Xue Yuantong giggled.
She obediently got onto Jiang Ning's electric scooter and rode towards home, pondering along the way how Jiang Ning managed to get some beef.
'Never mind, he'll surely go fishing, and if there are blackfish, then it's okay even without beef.'
The scooter's headlights pierced the gloom of the bungalow, illuminating a few people chatting at the doorway, including Uncle Tang and Butcher Zhang.
Uncle Tang boasted: "The tabby cat we just raised is really good at catching mice, and just look at its size already, good gracious, it caught a mouse for me this afternoon."
Butcher Zhang glanced at his own big black-backed wolf dog and said nothing.
