The group returned to Gu'er's place and helped her put everything away and get settled. Gu'er then shooed them off to play chess while she got busy cooking in the kitchen.
By the time Liu Yuan finished his work and hurried over, Gu'er had already prepared eight dishes, one soup, and a two-grain rice mix as the main course.
Liu Yuan brought Gu'er a potted flower, saying it was to congratulate her on her move.
"See? Brother Liu Yuan is the best. He knew to bring me a housewarming gift. You guys brought nothing."
Gu'er said this jokingly, of course. They didn't need such formalities among themselves.
"A pot of flowers is just a few bucks. Hey, I've been here helping since this morning, using my car for your move. You're still not satisfied? You want a gift on top of that? I don't have a gift, but you can have me. How about it?"
Li Zhi was also joking.
