After feeding the cows, Jiang Hu led Old Ding back to the front room, where the Second Aunt was just serving the cooked lean meat. Seeing Jiang Hu bringing someone in, she promptly said:
"You all wash your hands first, I'll be done here shortly."
They had prepared smashed cucumbers and cold eggplant in advance, the fish soup was already boiling, and once they fried some eggs with greens, dinner would be ready.
Jiang Hu scooped a basin of water and brought it out, letting Old Ding wash his hands first, then he moved the table outside.
"Old man, let's eat outside, it's cooler and brighter out here."
Although it was a crescent moon tonight, the moon was indeed bright. A lit oil lamp provided no obstruction to their view.
Old Ding washed his hands and went straight to the small bed, glanced at the two children, and finally his gaze fell on Little Lucky Star. He smiled and said, "So this is Little Lucky Star? I heard she can speak now?"
