Mo Weiqin took a few sips of glutinous rice soup and felt as if he had come back to life. He waited at the door with Yuan Bao for Fu Zhiwen.
"Zhiwen, over here!" Yuan Bao, spotting Fu Zhiwen behind the crowd, waved at him.
Fu Zhiwen was in much better shape compared to Mo Weiqin and the others; aside from some wrinkles on his clothes and slight dark circles under his eyes, he looked fairly good.
"Zhiwen, here is the glutinous rice soup Sister-in-law Fu prepared. Have some first," Mo Weiqin said, passing the remaining soup to Fu Zhiwen.
After taking a few sips, Fu Zhiwen wiped his mouth and asked Yuan Bao, "How are my mother and sister-in-law?"
"They're in the carriage. Let's head back," Yuan Bao said. The place was too crowded, and he didn't inquire about the exam results but led them back to the carriage first.
Once back at the rented house, Fu Zhiwen and Mo Weiqin washed up, drank two bowls of thin porridge, and fell asleep. They slept for two days and one night.
