In the evening, Ye He Ping invited Shen Bin to stay for dinner. The youngest daughter also returned, and Bai Xue wanted to make something delicious for her, so she went into the kitchen. Ye Ling helped with the chores. Although the mother and daughter didn't talk, working together on the meal didn't feel awkward.
In the middle of winter, they made braised pork and stewed a fish, adding vermicelli and cabbage, filling up a big container, and steamed some buns. Although there were only two dishes, it was enough to eat.
Ye He Ping couldn't eat greasy food, so he only had some cabbage. Ye Ling watched with concern, but she knew her father's illness could only be nursed slowly. After dinner, as it got dark, Ye He Ping invited Shen Bin to stay overnight, but Shen Bin declined, saying he had to visit Mr. Li's wife. Only then did Ye He Ping not insist, and finally let the eldest daughter see him off.
