Xue Yuantong and his mother had talked for a while before he ran over to Jiang Ning's house to play with him.
Aunt Gu watched her daughter's retreating figure; her face, once weathered by time, now seemed younger, revealing a gentle smile.
Aunt Gu sat at the doorway for a while, then got up and headed east. After a few steps, she arrived at a bungalow, where the lights inside were on.
Aunt Gu called out, "Aunt Pan."
Soon, a chubby middle-aged woman came out of the house, looking older than Aunt Gu, and she was accompanied by a boy around four or five years old.
Aunt Pan moved a stool for her, and then they started chatting at the door.
After exchanging a few words, Aunt Gu explained her purpose, "Aunt Pan, I heard from Uncle Tang that your family is planning to sell the house?"
