The weather was already quite cold. A howling gale whistled through the courtyard, causing their clothes to flap wildly in the wind.
Seeing her daughter and son-in-law come out, Xu Su Ying hurriedly asked them, "Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?"
"We slept too much during the day, so we're having trouble falling asleep. Mom, what are you and Dad doing? Are you planning to go out?"
Xu Su Ying had a habit of eating midnight snacks. She didn't indulge often, but she would have them three to five times a year. Sometimes, Chen Song would bring something back for her. On holidays when the county town didn't have a curfew, she would take the whole family out late at night. In Chen Wanqing's memory, those outings were highly adventurous affairs. However, it wasn't too late in the evening yet. She wondered if they could really stomach a midnight snack at this hour.
