Li Xianglu came out of the kitchen and saw Qin Zhen pushing a bicycle, with Lu Anna in a faded coat and wrapped with a scarf, her face bearing an unusual flush.
Li Xianglu greeted them as usual and headed to the kitchen first, setting the mushroom chicken to stew in a clay pot and hurriedly steaming the rice before washing her hands and going out.
In the living room, Mr. Li was the first to speak, asking about Mr. Lu and Lu's mother's health, and about the little friend Lu Ping'an's situation, after which the room quieted down.
When Li Xianglu entered, the atmosphere was still quiet. Seeing that tea was already served next to the chair where Lu Anna was sitting, she refrained from saying much and sat down beside Qin Xi.
