"Wait here," Xiao Shumei said as she was heading out the door and saw her daughter following.
"Mom, if you and Auntie are both going, what am I supposed to do here?" Zhao Mengjin asked.
"You forgot. Your uncle is around here. What if he wants to find us and can't? Besides, our luggage is all here; someone needs to keep an eye on it."
After Xiao Shumei spoke to her daughter, Xiao Shuzhu chimed in, pinching Zhao Mengjin's arm and saying, "Don't worry, we, including your mom, will be back in a few hours. Just wait here, and we'll be back by tonight."
Is it almost evening? Zhao Mengjin looked out the window, noticing the sky growing darker, it was almost dusk, so she said, "Mom, why don't you and I have dinner before you leave?"
