Shu Yu heard some noise at the door and walked outside, just as Zhang Ping'an also looked up towards him.
Shu Yu nodded at him, and the latter quickly shifted his gaze away.
"Dahu is quite impressive," he said to the old lady, "he knows many characters, and he's especially patient. We had planned to keep them for dinner, but Dahu and Sanya wouldn't stay, so I escorted them back."
As he spoke, Zhang Ping'an handed over the basket of vegetables he was carrying, "My mother said that your family's vegetable seeds have just been planted and aren't ripe yet, so she sent me to bring over some vegetables."
The old lady didn't stand on ceremony with him and took it over, "Well, thank you very much. We've already cooked at home, stay and have some."
"Oh no no no," Zhang Ping'an quickly waved his hands, "We've also got our meal ready back at home, I'll be leaving now, goodbye."
Zhang Ping'an turned to leave, giving Shu Yu another glance before he did.
