Mother Wu saw Du Runiang at the same time Zhou Qin spoke up. As soon as Zhou Qin finished, she shook off Zhou Qin's hand and stepped forward: "So, Jixiang's mom is here too. Haven't seen Jixiang for a few days now; is he not coming today?"
Mother Wu looked around but didn't see the person she wanted to meet, and showed a face full of disappointment.
Jixiang is Du Runiang's youngest son's nickname. Since he's often staying at the Wu family, and with Zhou Qin and her husband having no children, and Jixiang being a well-behaved and sensible child, Mother Wu practically treats him as her own grandson, missing him dearly after just a few days apart.
Du Runiang hadn't expected Mother Wu to come all the way from the countryside, and smiled: "Auntie, Jixiang's uncle found him a tutor for his studies. Jixiang moved to the tutor's house a few days ago, so he won't be home much anymore."
