"Who is it?" Song Yun shouted.

"It's me, Chi Mei."

Chi Mei? Chi Mei's face appeared in Song Yun's mind. She put down the rag and walked to the courtyard gate to open it. "Comrade Chi Mei, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Chi Mei was holding a basket covered with cotton cloth, and an enticing fragrance wafted out of the basket.

"I learned how to make osmanthus cake from my grandmother. I heard you were coming, so I brought some over for you to try."

Song Yun didn't wash her hands, so she didn't reach out to take the basket. She stepped aside to let her in. "Then I'm in for a treat. You come in first."

After Chi Mei entered the courtyard, she followed Song Yun into the main hall. She found Song Yun cleaning the house, so she quickly put down her basket and rolled up her sleeves, saying, "Let me help you clean. Otherwise, you'll be busy all by yourself for a long time."

Song Yun said no, but Chi Mei ignored Song Yun's refusal and found a rag to help Song Yun wipe the tables and chairs.

You can tell at a glance whether a person can do work or not. Chi Mei is obviously not the type who can do work. She probably has never done any housework at home.

These jobs are simple. Even if you have never done them before and no matter how clumsy you are, you can easily complete them. They do not require any technical skills.

After wiping the tables, chairs, and other things in the main room clean, Song Yun stopped and went to the water well that Chi Mei was using to wash her hands.

"Aren't you going to work today?" Song Yun asked.

Chi Mei said, "The art troupe has a performance today, and my program is scheduled for tomorrow, so I'll just go home and rest today."

Speaking of this, Chi Mei asked Song Yun, "I'm going to perform on stage tomorrow. Do you want to come and see it? It's a dance I choreographed myself, and it's my first time dancing."

Song Yun shook her head and refused without a second thought, "I have to go to school tomorrow to attend classes." She was supposed to go today, but was delayed by the house problem, so she could only go tomorrow.

Chi Mei expected this answer, but she still couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Then next time, next time you have time, can you come and watch my performance?"

Song Yun nodded, "Okay, I'll come and see it when I'm free later."

Although she knew that this free time might be a long time in the future, Chi Mei was still very happy to receive Song Yun's affirmative answer.

After they washed their hands, Chi Mei took out the osmanthus cake she had made as if she were presenting a treasure.

No matter the appearance or the taste, it was very good. Song Yun tasted a piece and thought it was good. She praised Chi Mei several times, which made Chi Mei very happy.

Huibao came over from the backyard, and Chi Mei took another piece of osmanthus cake and put it into Huibao's food bowl. However, Huibao just sniffed it, turned around and left without even licking it, looking disgusted.

Seeing Chi Mei was a little embarrassed, Song Yun smiled and explained, "Hui Bao likes to eat meat and doesn't really like sweets."

Chi Mei's eyes lit up, "Then I'll give it some meat strips next time."

"No, I prepared some meat strips for it. It's very delicious."

If the food was not good, it would not be possible for it to look so majestic and have such shiny hair.
