Grandma Zhou descended the stairs, wearing her robe, and glimpsed Zhou Jingxian sitting on her sofa, prompting a sigh.
A cup of hot tea was handed to her, and she gently sipped twice before setting it aside.
"Madam, breakfast is ready."
Grandma Zhou stood up, headed toward the dining room, and turning her head, she noticed Zhou Jingxian still seated on the sofa motionless, "You're here so early, join me for something to eat."
Today's tasks were substantial, and Zhou Jingxian was well aware of this. So, until Grandma Zhou had shaken off her morning grumpiness and breakfast, it was best not to speak.
"Try this pancake, I had them sprinkle less sugar on top." Grandma Zhou pushed a plate of pancakes toward him, "How has your health been lately? Is your blood sugar still high?"
"It has been quite stable recently, the new medication is very effective for me," Zhou Jingxian responded truthfully.
