"Today is the Laba Festival. Grandpa asked me to bring some Laba porridge for you to try." Xue Sufen entered the room, took the porridge out of the food container, and placed it on the table.
Li Qiao thanked her, took the bowl of porridge to the kitchen, scooped the porridge into a new bowl, and washed Xue Sufen's bowl clean before returning it to her.
Xue Sufen said, "You just leave it on the table and don't drink? I braved the snow and cold wind to bring it to you." Originally, Grandpa had asked my older brother to deliver it, but Grandma firmly disagreed, nor did she allow my younger uncle to come over, fearing that Li Qiao would gobble them both up.
Grandpa couldn't persuade her, so it ended up being her job.
She suspected that Grandma did it on purpose, not willing to let her sons and grandsons freeze and so sent her granddaughter instead.
