Xu Wu saw the two sullen children and said, "Eat up and go to sleep. When you get up, Uncle will take you out to play for a bit."
The little ones' eyes lit up, looking ready to go out and play right away, but Li Xianglu, unable to bear it any longer, exclaimed, "Eat first, go play after you wake up from your nap, and you can only play for one hour!" She then gestured with her fingers to show them.
Ba Yi copied her mother, gesturing the number one with her little finger and nodding incessantly, as if afraid the adults might change their minds.
After dinner, everyone went to rest. Li Xianglu was mixing the meat filling for the lotus root sandwiches and couldn't stop looking out the window at the increasingly heavy snow, truly worried.
Sister Xing, seeing this, comforted her, "It's okay. Didn't they say they set off this morning? They'll definitely arrive by tomorrow afternoon."
Li Xianglu forced a smile and nodded, hoping for a smooth journey.
