Zhu Xiaoqi looked at the item Duan Rong handed over, slightly stunned, and curiously asked, "What's inside?"
"I don't know what to buy! Just bought some osmanthus cakes and preserves on the street."
Zhu Xiaoqi looked at Duan Rong's face illuminated by the fire, the flames in the stove danced in Duan Rong's eyes as bright as stars...
Zhu Xiaoqi reached out to take the items from Duan Rong's hands and placed them on the stove.
Then Zhu Xiaoqi turned around, wiped his hands on the apron at his waist, lifted the pot lid, picked up six steaming buns with dried lotus leaves, and stuffed them to Duan Rong, saying, "The buns were just steamed this afternoon, take them back to eat!"
Holding the buns, Duan Rong salivated and glanced at Zhu Xiaoqi, saying, "Xiaoqi, I'm heading back!"
Zhu Xiaoqi sat on the small stool, adding firewood to the stove, not responding to him.
Duan Rong then turned and left on his own.
