"Mother, Uncle is sleepy."

Zhuang Zhuang handed the bowl to Xiaoguo. She washed it with warm water and put it away. "There's a herb with calming properties in this medicinal soup. One will feel sleepy after taking it."

"Oh, I see. I was wondering about it as Uncle is usually not so sleepy."

Zhuang Zhuang followed behind Xiaoguo, going wherever she went.

"Mother, why are you still boiling water?"

Zhuang Zhuang asked Xiaoguo curiously. There was nothing left to wash or scrub.

Xiaoguo pushed Zhuang Zhuang's head away from the stove and threw a handful of firewood into the fire pit. "Don't you have to take a shower? Go back to the house and get your clothes. Then go wait in the bathroom."

"Huh?" Zhuang Zhuang looked reluctant. "I just bathed the day before yesterday. I don't want to bathe again…"

"Okay then. You just had tomato scrambled eggs the day before yesterday. You won't be having it again tomorrow."
