On the second day, Chen Huihong went to dine in the inner city as usual.
Qin Huai realized that although Chen Huihong lived with Hui Niang, they were merely roommates. Chen Huihong would have a good meal in the inner city each day, bring back some snacks for the rest of the time, and if something interesting was happening outside, she'd go watch; if not, she'd stay at home nibbling on sunflower seeds.
Hui Niang was much busier than her.
She would go out in the morning to buy groceries and grain, return to clean up the sunflower seed shells Chen Huihong left behind, and tidy up. If the sun was out, she'd also set up a frame to air the quilts outside.
When Chen Huihong went out for a stroll, Hui Niang was doing work outside; when Chen Huihong returned from her stroll, Hui Niang was usually in the kitchen steaming sweet potatoes.
