Bonnie knew of a newly opened hot pot restaurant nearby that didn't require meat coupons, and the meat was very fresh and tasted great.
"Teacher Zhai, let's go eat hot pot. It'll be more lively with more people. I know a good restaurant nearby that doesn't require meat slices, is hygienic, and tastes good."
"Okay, it's been a long time since I've had hot pot. It'll be fun to eat with you guys. Eating hot pot with few people isn't fun; it's all about the atmosphere."
Teacher Zhai hasn't had hot pot in a long time; she usually eats rather lightly. Besides, her close friends are all getting on in years and scattered across the country, so finding a few like-minded people to eat hot pot with isn't easy.
Bonnie led the way, and they went to the hot pot restaurant.

The children were at the age where they could eat a lot, so Teacher Zhai ate a rather light meal. Seeing the children sweating profusely as they ate, her appetite also increased, and she even ate a few pieces of meat.
The atmosphere of hot pot is what matters most. Everyone had a little something to eat, and we chatted while we ate. The meal lasted for about two hours.
"I've eaten a bit too much; I haven't eaten this much in a long time. Okay, that's enough for today. Classes will continue next Monday."
Teacher Zhai waved and slowly walked home. It wasn't far from her house, only a three- to five-minute walk.
Bonnie and the others came back to the courtyard to get their tricycle and were preparing to return to the compound.
