After finishing frying the fish, it was already past nine, so the two of them stayed overnight at Lin Wan's house. Early the next morning, Lin Wan brought half a rabbit and a small basin of fried fish to Sister-in-law Zhang's house.
"You don't have to bring something every time you come, Lin Wan. Brother Huang and I feel embarrassed," said Sister-in-law Zhang, who was relaxing at home on a Sunday watching Pidan doing some writing.
"Shi Lan and I came yesterday. We've been up in the mountains picking mushrooms. We caught some small fish and even got a wild rabbit yesterday, so we brought them for you. Let Pidan have a treat."
"Thank you, Auntie." Pidan, who hadn't dropped his pen since Lin Wan walked in with the gifts, promptly set it down and started eating a small fish as soon as he heard it was for him.
"Naughty boy, if you're going to eat, go over there and don't get oil all over your books."
