Qiao Xiaomai watched this scene silently, then she smiled and diverted the topic, "Where is Sanlang? Why I don't see Tong Sanlang?"
"After he finished his work, he went around here," Tong Tiehu replied.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai gave a long sigh of acknowledgement, thinking that having light agility would be really nice.
"Wait for him for a while. When he returns, you two can go home together and let him get your meal," Tong Tiehu said again.
"Grandpa Tong, it seems a bit rude if you put it that way."
"For you, everyone else in this family is an outsider anyway. It's normal to be considered as such," said Tong Tiehu, keeping a straight face.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai blinked and nodded, "Let's do as Grandpa Tong said."
Just then, Tong Sanlang returned.
Seeing Qiao Xiaomai, he was slightly surprised. Looking at the sour plum soup in his family's bowls, he immediately understood.
Then his guilt deepened.
