Third Grandma saw Gu Jinli return and hurriedly said, "Xiao Yu, your fried crispy pork is good, hurry up and fry a few basins, don't add chili, Er Lang doesn't eat spicy food."
Then she added, "Right, also make five pounds of the dried meat you made last time to let Er Lang take with him for the journey. Although that child doesn't talk much, I noticed last time that he likes dried meat."
Gu Jinli just responded with one word and rolled up her sleeves to get to work, but she couldn't help feeling heartache that their home's meat was, yet again, going to waste on an ungrateful person.
But Third Grandma truly felt sorry for Qin Er Lang, thinking how he was an orphan and about to leave home to serve as a soldier far away, truly pitiable. She dedicated herself to preparing his farewell banquet, turning to Ms. Chu saying, "Tie Zhu's wife, your naan bread is baked really well, bake a dozen or so for Er Lang to take tomorrow, let him have something to eat on the road."
