A Promise Between Men

Su Bing started clearing the table and wiping it down. He didn't want their stepmother to come back and find a messy table.

He could tell their stepmother was a neat person. Since her arrival, the house not only became spotless, but it also smelled delightful everywhere. Even the scent of osmanthus permeated from the dandelion in the courtyard.

Su Li nodded and opened his school bag. Suddenly, his nose twitched, and he informed Su Bing, "Our stepmother must have made us something delicious. There's a unique aroma of meat!"

The two brothers entered the dining room, unveiling the mosquito net covering the dishes. The sauce-red color and tantalizing aroma pleased their senses.

Beside the plates lay a note, written in elegant handwriting.

"This dish is called Squirrel-shaped Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish, made from mandarin fish! Hope you enjoy your meal!"
