"Xiao Yu, wash hands and let's eat! Bring three beverages over."
"Got it, Mom!" Zhen Yu was optimizing the takeaway forms that would be needed immediately after school started, sitting behind the counter when she heard her mother call and quickly responded.
Today is July 15th, not only is it the Ghost Festival, but it's also Zhen Yu's birthday.
Northeastern people don't seem to pay much attention to this festival, nor do they particularly avoid it, everyone just goes about their usual business.
Zhen Yu took two room-temperature beverages from the counter and retrieved one chilled one from the fridge, carrying them over to the dining table.
"Come sit down! Today's your birthday, Mom made you tasty food!"
Zhen Yan saw his sister coming and quickly invited her, "Little sister, give me the beverages, I'll open them!"
"Here." Zhen Yu handed the beverages to her brother on the table in front of him and sat down beside him.
