Gu's mother called out to Gu Xiaoning, "Ningning, go, open the wine! Why are you standing there doing nothing?"
"Oh!" Gu Xiaoning answered, and went to open the wine.
Le Zhengsheng hurriedly declined, "Auntie, I'm sick and can't drink... Ningning knows this."
Gu Xiaoning nodded, "Mom, it's true, A-Sheng still needs to be treated, and he must take good care of himself during this time."
"Oh..." Gu's mother paused, "If A-Sheng doesn't drink, Ningning and I must still toast to you... Your kindness, Ningning and I will remember for a lifetime. We will repay this money, though it might take a bit longer."
Saying this, she raised her glass, "Come, A-Sheng, Auntie toasts to you."
"Uh, yes." Le Zhengsheng picked up the water glass, accepting this gratitude.
The meal went on until about eight o'clock in the evening. Le Zhengsheng went to the restroom, while Gu's mother and Gu Xiaoning were in the kitchen washing dishes.
