On a rainy day, Meng Yuhuai's mother couldn't take little Walnut out for a stroll and could only hold him while playing in the main hall. When she saw Meng Yuhuai and Hua Xiaomai coming back in the pouring rain, she couldn't help but nag them a bit and gave them a huge eye roll before hurrying into the kitchen to cook brown sugar ginger soup.
The hot soup was sweet with a hint of spiciness, and swallowing a mouthful seemed to instantly evaporate the dampness from the body, heating from the feet to the top of the head.
The family arranged dinner and chatted idly for a while before each returned to their rooms to rest.
