Chapter 244: Master’s Arrival(2)_1
"Who helped us organize the house?"
As Cai Wei and Cai Fei walked around the room, puzzled, the door creaked open, and Third Aunt Mu came in with Cai Lian, a basket hanging off her arm.
"Third Aunt, you’re here!"
Both Cai Wei and Cai Fei warmly went to greet her and helped her and Third Aunt Mu to the edge of the Kang in the inner room.
As soon as Third Aunt Mu settled down, she started talking animatedly, "See, I knew it! I figured that once you two got back, you wouldn’t want to spend too much time in the main room, so I took the liberty of tidying up for you. I even lit the fire kang to make it cozier for you."
Cai Fei laughed and said, "Thank you, auntie. You really care about us!"
Third Aunt Mu teased back: "Well, I can’t do much about it. Who can resist spoiling you two?"
Armresting basket, she produced a pack of sunflower seeds, and a pack of peanuts, placing them on the kang table, "I don’t have much to offer you, so I brought these peanuts and sunflower seeds that I grew in my own garden. Do have some, and please don’t be picky!"
Cai Wei laughed, "I was just thinking about having a snack. Your timing is impeccable, auntie. I haven’t even had time to thank you properly, let alone be picky." After finishing her sentence, she opened the paper bag and began to crack open some sunflower seeds.
Cai Lian was sitting on the edge of the kang, smiling as she observed them. She was wearing the autumn-coloured auspicious cloud pattern brocade beizi gifted by Lady Du, a matching six-frame skirt, and her hair was arranged in an auspicious bun adorned with a wooden peony hairpin, making her look more dazzling than usual.
