There were quite a few potatoes.

Nowadays, people don't have a choice when it comes to food; as long as they're full, that's fine.

Having grown accustomed to Liu Qiuyue's and Huo Cheng's delicious cooking, Yingyue had little appetite when she looked at the cabbage and radish stew in the lunchbox, which smelled strongly of dishwater.

Huo Qing rummaged through her lunchbox for a long time before finally finding a piece of braised pork the size of a fingernail.

She picked it out and gave it to Yingyue.

"Yueyue, eat quickly."

After giving the only piece of meat to Yingyue, Huo Qing began to eat heartily the radish, cabbage, potatoes, and corn and sorghum rice.

Yingyue frowned and shoveled most of the food in her bowl to Huo Qing.

"What's wrong?"

Huo Qing was puzzled.

Yingyue pouted, "It doesn't taste good."

Huo Qing...

She immediately looked up and glanced around warily, only to find that everyone was focused on eating and few people were paying attention to her.

She then lowered her head with relief and spoke to Yingyue in a low voice, "Yueyue, the conditions are special now, we can't be picky about food, otherwise if others see us, they will say we are hedonists and that our thinking is incorrect."

Huo Qing could really understand Yingyue's feelings, because she felt the same way when she had her first meal in the canteen.

At the time, she was thinking, how could anyone in this world make such terrible food?

However, after eating it for more than a year, she got used to it.

Acceptable.

Yingyue, however, could not accept it.

She always eats the best food; even when she eats raw fish, it's always the freshest.

However, she also knew that Xiao Qing was not Huo Cheng and could not act childishly.

"I'm going to catch fish in a bit."

Huo Qing looked at her nervously, "Now? We can't go, the beach is still frozen."

"It's alright, the water is still flowing under the ice, there are lots of big, clumsy fish, you can catch them in no time."
