After dinner, Anning said to Mr. Gu, "I'm going to go for a walk to aid digestion."
Xiao Yuan got up to clean up the dishes, but Mrs. Gu quickly stopped him, "Quickly put that down, how can we let you wash the dishes? I'll do it, I'll do it."
Xiao Yuan didn't insist on washing. After washing his hands, he smiled and said, "I've brought some gifts for you from Shanghai, I'll bring them over in a moment."
"That really was unnecessary of you."
Mrs. Gu politely exchanged a few words with Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan left the house together with Anning.
After they left, Mr. Gu hurried into the kitchen to speak with Mrs. Gu, "Why did you accept his gifts?"
While washing the dishes, Mrs. Gu replied, "He already bought them, where would we put his face if we said no? We just accept the gifts, and when we go out later, we can also bring him some gifts, can't we?"
That made sense.
Mr. Gu took the clean dishes from Mrs. Gu and stored them in the kitchen cabinet.
