Zhao Qing said to Juhua, "Juhua, I meant to come over earlier, but my Feng'er was being a real handful. I could only slip out after he finally fell asleep. Why isn't my master here? He ate at my place and said he was coming over to your house."
Liu Yunlan said, "He was probably pulled aside by someone else for a meal on his way over."
He smiled at Grandma Liu and said, "Ma'am, can you believe this? We invited the siblings over for the New Year, but in the end, they haven't eaten a single bite at our house."
At the mention of Doctor Qin and his sister, an expression of reverence finally appeared on Grandma Liu's face. She said slowly, "That's because they've earned everyone's respect. People are happy just to have them over for a visit. Pu Pao, go boil some water later. When Yun Ying and Doctor Qin get back, they can wash up with it while it's still hot."
