That evening, Xu Chunliang went to the home of Gao Xinyue for dinner. In fact, having a meal was secondary; the main purpose was to see Gao Xinhua.
As usual, Xu Chunliang didn't go empty-handed; he brought along two bottles of tasting wine given to him by Chen Qianfan.
When he arrived at Gao Xinyue's house, both Grandpa Gao and Gao Xiaobai were in the kitchen cooking, while Gao Xiaobai was tutoring his cousin Wang Maite on his homework in the room.
Upon hearing that a guest had arrived, Wang Maite, who had long lost interest in studying, hurriedly rushed out of the room. Seeing Xu Chunliang, he greeted him warmly: "Big Brother, you're here! I've missed you so much, and my sister has too."
Gao Xiaobai scolded: "Why do you talk without thinking, kid? What does this have to do with me?"
Gao Xinyue said, "Xiaoxu, don't mind him. The kid's just mischievous. With his dad away on Weishan Island, I really have a hard time managing him alone."
