After around five to six minutes, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks. They had all finished eating and only Tan Jing was still eating slowly alone.
Seeing that everyone had stopped, Tan Jing quietly put down her bowl and chopsticks. Sister Fan cleared the table efficiently. The next meal would be at noon.
Everyone went to the backyard to chat as it was rare that the weather was warmer today. The men went back into the house to talk business, so the women gathered together to have a casual conversation about the gossip they had heard recently and the trivial matters at home.
"Eldest sister, are you and that… Jiang Jin still seeing each other?" Xia Fang asked.
Xia Xiu and Xia Fang got along very well and could tell each other everything. Xia Xiu also especially favored Xia Fang's son. If she had to rank her favorite children in the Xia family, Xia Zhe and Xiang Chen would share the top spot.
