Auntie returned home a little after seven, looked at the melons and pastries Jingqiu brought, and laughed, "Qiuqiu is the thoughtful one, always remembering her aunt and uncle no matter what she's up to. That Mingchao, always busy with who knows what, hasn't shown his face since he came back from Yangjiang."
Lu Jingqiu knew what her second cousin was up to and quickly defended him, "Auntie, it's the fall season now, and there are plenty of goods to handle. He must be very busy."
Zhou Lanqin knew it too. Ah, having given birth to two sons, the older one living far away and the younger one hardly ever at home, she and Old Yang were also busy with work every day, leaving the house devoid of any liveliness.
Zhou Lanqin also asked about things in Capital City, mainly about Jiang Nanzhou's family and how they treated her.
Seeing that Lu Jingqiu spoke highly of Jiang Nanzhou's family, she felt relieved.
