The dumpling breakfast on the morning of the Little New Year was supposed to be a meal for the whole family to enjoy together. But considering his mother would never be able to drag his father over, Xu Qiguang decided to announce they should start eating.
Although his wife had explained why her mother-in-law had gone out so early, Xu Qiguang knew his own mother. She would inevitably wait for the families of his two older brothers to start eating before she came back.
He wasn't the only one who was certain of this; his daughter, Changqing, had long been well aware of it too. That was why she hadn't gone to fetch her grandfather in her grandmother's stead this morning.
And sure enough, when he suggested they start, his Changqing sat down and picked up her chopsticks quite naturally. But the kids' mother? Xu Qiguang's eyes crinkled with amusement as he watched his wife turn to look outside.
