Chen Afu carefully took the silk and cotton to the east room to prevent Qi Qi, Hui Hui, and Zhui Feng from spoiling them.
When Jin Yanzi was around, Zhui Feng slept in the east room. Ever since she entered the dimension, Zhui Feng started sleeping in the West Room.
In the evening, Chen Afu made two bowls of noodles. Despite its modest ingredients, the dishes were flavorful, and Dabao relished it.
They were only a few mouthfuls in when a knock sounded at the side door.
Chen Afu got up to answer the door and found Chen Dahu. He mentioned that, "His mom wanted to ask Dabao a few questions."
Mrs. Hu had brought her displeasure here as well.
Chen Afu didn't initially want Dabao to go, fearing if Dabao didn't cooperate, Mrs. Hu would disrupt her work in her irritation. She reluctantly let Dabao leave and gave him a meaningful glance. Dabao nodded in understanding and left for the old courtyard, unwilling to abandon the noodles yet untouched in his bowl.
