August 31st, 5:30 in the afternoon.
Xue Chuchu dressed simply, sat at the dining table, listening to Tongtong recounting her travel stories and strange encounters.
She listened attentively, the coolness on her face melting into a slightly sweet smile.
From Jiang Ning's perspective, he could just see her fair and graceful neck, exuding an ethereal quality.
Tongtong seemed to have endless stories to tell, eager to pour all her experiences into Chuchu's ears.
Jiang Ning enjoyed her crisp voice and used his chopsticks to pick up a river shrimp, caught during a flood, most were small shrimp.
Xue Yuantong trimmed off the shrimp heads and legs, then stir-fried them with garlic sprouts and dried chili peppers, making them quite delicious, especially with Aunt Gu's steamed buns and pumpkin rice soup.
Jiang Ning also caught quite a few miscellaneous fish with a net, some were kept in a water tank, while some were fried by Xue Yuantong and stewed with cucumbers, equally appetizing.
