Huo Miaoyue touched her stomach and said, "No need to look for it. I'll bring the food to grandma later and we can start eating."

"That's not so good. Brother Huo hasn't come back yet." Bai Qianrou said.

"What's the big deal? It's always been like this in our family." Huo Miaoyue said as she went to the kitchen to get a bowl of rice, picked up some dishes, and stood up to bring it to the room.

Huo Miaoyue came out of the room, sat down on the stool, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "Let's eat."

Bai Qianrou ate without any appetite, glancing towards the door from time to time.

I don’t know how many times I saw it, but the door opened and a man appeared in the yard.

Bai Qianrou's eyes lit up, she suppressed her excitement, stood up and was about to take the coat that Huo Zhengye had taken off.

"Brother Huo, I'm coming."

Huo Zhengye's eyes paused, then he frowned slightly, wondering why Bai Qianrou was at home.

Looking at the hand that Bai Qianrou extended to him, Huo Zhengye put on his coat again, "Why are you here?"

Bai Qianrou's face turned pale. The excitement she had just felt like being doused with a basin of cold water, chilling her heart to the core.

Huo Miaoyue was eating without even looking up, "Sister Qianrou didn't have any food to eat, so I asked Sister Qianrou to stay for dinner."

Bai Qianrou said awkwardly, "Am I disturbing your meal? You guys eat, I'll leave now."

Huo Miaoyue quickly pulled Bai Qianrou to her side, "Sister Qianrou helped a lot when grandma was in the hospital, so what's wrong with inviting her to dinner?"

Bai Qianrou was delighted to see that Huo Zhengye did not object, and quickly said, "Brother Huo, you haven't eaten yet, right? Please sit down and I'll serve you some food."

As she spoke, Bai Qianrou quickly found new bowls and plates and took them out to serve the meal. Huo Zhengye frowned and said, "No, I've already eaten."

Then he asked Huo Miaoyue: "Where is grandma?"

"She is not feeling well and is resting in her room."

"I'm going to see grandma." After saying that, Huo Zhengye went into the room.

Bai Qianrou put down the bowl in disappointment. Even after she finished washing the dishes and left, she didn't see Huo Zhengye come out.

Yu Chunyan's home.

Seeing Bai Qianrou coming back, Yu Chunyan put down the work in her hands and said, "Why are you back so late? I left some food for you, go eat it quickly."

Bai Qianrou waved her hand with a cold expression, "I've eaten."

Yu Chunyan groaned and couldn't help but say, "Next time if you don't come back to eat, just let me know. I won't cook so much."

This is not the first time Bai Qianrou has said this. She either said she has eaten or she doesn’t want to eat anymore.

During Bai Qianrou's stay, she was always served her meals. If she didn't eat, it meant she had to save it for the next meal. But Bai Qianrou only ate fresh food, and she and her husband had to eat leftover food. After several rounds of this, even the good-tempered Yu Chunyan couldn't stand it.

Bai Qianrou was in a bad mood, her face sank, and she said in a cold voice: "If you don't want to cook for me, just tell me. I don't want to eat at your house. It's not tasty."

Yu Chunyan was very angry, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat!"

Bai Qianrou closed the door with a loud bang.

Yu Chunyan's husband came over to persuade her: "Forget it, forget it. Captain Xu specifically told us to take care of her. Just be patient and it will pass. She will move out when the dormitory is rebuilt."

Yu Chunyan was depressed. "If I didn't have to save money to send Hu Zi to school, I really wouldn't want to serve her."

"Thank you for your hard work." Zheng Bing sighed.

Yu Chunyan lowered her head and continued knitting sweaters, hoping to make more and sell them.

Seeing this, Zheng Bing couldn't help but ask, "Is your job reliable?"

“No matter whether it’s reliable or not, you won’t know until you try it.” Yu Chunyan answered without raising her head.

Shu Wan will come to pick up the goods in two days, so she needs to make more. Thinking of this, she moved faster.

At night, Huo Zhengye lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

In the dream, Shu Wan was wearing thin clothes, which were the clothes she wore during the day. She leaned closer, so close that he could see everything when he lowered his head. Huo Zhengye suddenly felt a surge of desire, and a heat rising from deep inside his body.

The next second, the heat faded away, and Shu Wan's expression was cold, her mouth opening and closing, "Let's not meet each other anymore."

Huo Zhengye woke up suddenly, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and then he couldn't fall asleep.
