Chapter 709 - Chapter 612

On Sunday afternoon, Gu Qiming, who hadn't been home from work for over ten days, returned for a visit. The Gu and Tang Families gathered once again, and Xiao Man was also picked up from school. After dinner, they split into two groups for tea as usual: the men in the small inner hall, and the women and children in the main hall. Xiao Man helped bring in the snacks and fruit. The men, young and old alike, were gathered around the tea table, sipping tea and chatting. Gu Qiming was slightly tipsy, having drunk a couple of extra glasses of the yellow millet wine Xiao Man brought back from Gongdao Village at dinner. Zhou Hui Lan told him not to have any tea yet. For now, he could only sit on a sofa near the entrance, drinking plain water and waiting for Zhou Hui Lan to prepare and bring him some sobriety soup.
