"Mom, Mo'er was wrong." Little Mo suddenly said.
Bei Yutang glanced at him sideways, and seeing the little guy with a self-blaming look on his face, he couldn't help but laugh, "Little fool, what have you done wrong?"
"I, I wasted time." There was a sense of self-blame in Xiaozi Mo's soft voice.
"If you don't rest, your mother will need to rest too. Okay, it's windy outside, go in quickly."
Xiao Zimo did not go in, but sat next to Bei Yutang, accompanying her. The cold wind blew on his face, causing bursts of stinging pain.
Little Zimo felt very distressed and couldn't help but suggest: "Mom, let's hire a driver."
Bei Yutang was both moved and emotional when Zi Mo, the boy who had always been frugal and reluctant to eat even a meat bun, said such words.
"Okay." Bei Yutang touched Xiao Zimo's head in a good mood.
It is her blessing to have such a filial son at home.
When they arrived at the town after hurriedly rushing, it was already dark and all the shops on both sides of the street, except for the tavern and inn, had already closed.
The carriage stopped in front of an inn. When the waiter heard the sound of the carriage, he immediately came out to greet the guests.
When he saw that the people getting off the car were a mother and son, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Are you two staying at the hotel?" the waiter asked with a smile.
"Yes."
The waiter immediately welcomed the two into the shop. "We have three types of guest rooms here: A, B, and C. The best rooms start with A, and the worst start with C. Which one would you like, sir?"
"How much is it?"
"A night with a letter starting with A costs fifty wen, a night with a letter starting with B costs thirty-five wen, and a night with a letter starting with C is much cheaper, only ten wen. Which one would you like, sir?"
"A." Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo to sit on the table in the lobby. "Could you please bring two side dishes and two bowls of rice?"
"OK."
There weren't many people in the inn. Besides their table, there was another table with three men dressed in martial arts attire. They were drinking and didn't pay much attention to Bei Yutang and the others' arrival.
The waiter quickly prepared the room and served two dishes and two bowls of rice.
Along the way, the two of them ate the flatbreads that Bei Yutang had prepared in advance. The flatbreads had a scallion aroma and tasted much better than ordinary noodles.
"Eat quickly." Bei Yutang picked up a piece of vegetables with chopsticks and put it into his bowl.
"Mom, you eat too."
When Xiao Zimo put the food into his mouth, his face suddenly froze.
The same is true for Bei Yutang.
This dish tastes really... terrible!
"Maybe this dish is better." Bei Yutang moved her chopsticks towards another dish, and the boy's dark eyes stared at her without blinking.
"Mother, how is it?"
Bei Yutang silently swallowed the mouthful of food and said, "It feels a little better now."
Xiao Zimo tried it out of curiosity and found that it was almost the same as the previous plate of vegetables that had no oil or taste.
"If you can't eat, we can eat bread."
Xiao Zimo shook his head and said, "We can't waste food."
Embarrassing...
"I bought all of these with money." Xiao Zimo looked at the dishes with a distressed look on his face.
Bei Yutang found it amusing to see him looking so worried about the money.
"Okay, don't waste food, don't waste food."
After being accustomed to her cooking, it was naturally difficult to swallow dishes that had clearly been taken out of the water, and even burnt. However, in order not to waste money, the two of them ate both dishes cleanly.
