Fan Jianguo came back from closing his stall at noon when his wife said that Jiang Xiaoxiao had called, asking the two of them to come over in the evening.
She said the old lady was now at their place and wouldn't be coming home for lunch; everyone should go over for dinner tonight.
Fan Jianguo didn't think much of it.
Originally, he usually kept his stall open until eleven or twelve at night, sometimes even till one or two in the morning.
But since his niece and sister asked them over for dinner, he couldn't refuse.
Otherwise, he'd have no good reason not to go.
Around 5 o'clock, Fan Jianguo carried his daughter, accompanied by Liu Huili, with two jars of canned goods and a packet of snacks.
Liu Huili was quite nervous and uneasy, her eyelids twitching.
Life at home was tight right now. Despite buying two jars of canned goods and a packet of snacks, the couple felt it was painful to spend the money.
