It was impossible for Zhou Liulang to cook porridge, because all the food was in Ms. Qian's room.
The Zhou's old grain had been eaten up long ago, and now they were consuming the newly harvested grain that had been dried not long ago, the newly husked rice brought back from the mill. The porridge made from this was very fragrant.
Zhou Liulang had just sneaked into the room hoping to steal some rice when he was caught by Ms.Qian. In the end, it was Ms.He who went into the room and scooped out less than half a bowl of rice to cook porridge for Manbao.
Ms.Qian called her daughter into the room to talk, "Why did you come back home?"
Manbao pointed to her fingers and said, "I came back to get some things..."
Ms.Qian didn't ask what things she came to get but simply said, "Eat at school before you come back in the future, and don't bring food home."
As for the matter of Zhou Sanlang and Sanya joining together to eat all of Manbao's food, she didn't blame them or scold anyone.
