Xu Nian'an took the initiative to bring out the broom and volunteered to do the sweeping.
Ji Ying, meanwhile, helped Xu Nianhua tidy up the dishes with her.
Because this was a family matter, Pei Yicheng and Pei Yining, the brother and sister, just sat silently to the side, saying nothing.
Pei Yicheng's gaze lingered on Xu Nianhua, almost without him realizing it. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but ever since Ji Shuyuan mentioned going to South City, Xu Nianhua had seemed off.
But, as far as he knew, Xu Nianhua had never been to South City before.
...
"Nianhua, you should go to bed early too. Tomorrow we'll set off for South City. Mom already went home and let Dad know." Xu Nian'an saw Xu Nianhua sitting in the courtyard looking at the moon, and figured she couldn't sleep because she was worried about Grandpa.
"Mm."
