In the days that followed, He Wenjie frequently went to visit Elder Guan. Whenever he arrived and saw someone else there, he would offer a brief greeting and leave. Finally, on one occasion when He Wenjie came, he found no one there except Xiaotao, who took care of Elder Guan. Only then did He Wenjie sit down beside Elder Guan and say with a smile, "Elder, now that your son and daughter-in-law have both come back to see you, you must be in a pretty good mood."
Elder Guan opened his eyes to look at He Wenjie, then turned his head and told Xiaotao to go out and buy groceries. After Xiaotao left, he said, "You little rascal, running over to my place so often lately. You must have something on your mind."
"I find your son and daughter-in-law rather grating, so I came up with an idea to play a trick on them. I just don't know if you'd be interested, Elder."
