Bai Zepei quickly apologized, saying that he had failed to provide a proper welcome for Officer Li. Officer Li, with a smile, waved away his apology, insisting that they should not be so formal. Thus, they all headed towards the room in the second house.
To their surprise, as they entered the room, they found that the hot tea had already been prepared. It turned out that Bai Ruozhu had received the news from Fang Guizhi and had almost jumped up in joy.
Being reminded that they were about to have guests, Bai Ruozhu asked Fang Guizhi for help, and together, they prepared the tea.
After Bai Ruozhu greeted Officer Li, she invited him to sit in the room. Bai Zepei pulled her aside and said,"Little sister, you're still in your postpartum rest, hurry back and get some rest."
