In the kitchen, An Xuyuan was cooking a pot of millet porridge and roasting several sweet potatoes.
Hearing a series of footsteps, he thought the one coming was the male educated youth and said, "The meal will be ready in a moment. After eating, we will go dig out your belongings."
"Brother An, what are you doing?" Zhang Yulan asked.
When he heard her voice, An Xuyuan turned and asked with delight, "Yulan, why did you come? The weather is cold, you shouldn't come out if nothing is important. What if you catch a cold?"
Zhang Yulan placed the bamboo basket on the kitchen table and said, "I heard about the matter regarding the educated youth's house from my brother and came to check on you.
"I know you will definitely go help them even if I told you not to. Since I can't stop you, I can only brew some chicken ginger soup for you to repel the cold."
