The couple was chatting when Yin Le and Si Niang came back from shopping.
"Mother! We bought a big crucian carp. Let's have Father kill it for dinner!"
Liu Ji, who was excitedly talking, paused and turned to look outside the Moon Gate.
Si Niang, with two beautiful braids swaying, dashed in. Upon seeing Father, her big eyes lit up with surprise, and she immediately opened her arms, "Father, make crucian carp tofu tonight!"
Liu Ji reached out to catch his adorable little daughter, tousling her messy flat bangs, "Where did you go to buy groceries? It took you so long to come back."
Yin Le followed in, carrying a basket full of vegetables, "We went to the market on the East Market side. They have everything — fresh fish and shrimp, all just caught from the dock, and it's cheaper than the county prices."
Not getting a reply from Father, Si Niang tugged at her father's hair, "Make crucian carp tofu soup!"
