The Ding Family's house might be old, but it was kept very clean and tidy. It was evident that Ding's mother and her family all loved to tidy up.
To avoid burdening Ding's mother, Xu Nianhua and the others all pitched in to help. They even took the initiative to buy three meat dishes from a vegetable market they passed by on their way. Their original intention was to check on Uncle Ding, but they would have felt really embarrassed if they allowed Ding's mother to prepare lunch especially for them.
After lunch was ready, Ding Guo came back. Ding's mother then took the meal to the hospital to eat with Ding's father.
At the Ding's, it was just the Ding siblings entertaining them.
"My mom's cooking is really delicious, you should try it. This Meicai Kourou, the dried vegetables were homemade by my mom," Ding Guo warmly entertained them, moved that they came to visit her.
The lunch was lively and warm. After eating, everyone helped clean up the dishes, which were soon tidied away.
