Shu Yu felt extremely delighted. In the past few days when she stayed at the Shu family's house, they would eat leftovers for breakfast. No, to be more precise, they only cooked one meal in the evening. This meal would serve as dinner, breakfast for the next day, and lunch for the following day. After all, they couldn't wake up early in the morning, and they were exhausted from the day's work, so they didn't want to cook again.
Therefore, whether it was breakfast or lunch, the food they ate was cold, and the taste was forgettable. Apart from salt, there wasn't even any oil. And this was the situation for the three of them. As for the other people in Zhengdao Village, they would only eat two meals a day.
Shu Yu didn't go hungry in the morning because Meng Yunzheng fed her during dinner, and she could save some of the food for breakfast the next day. Now, not only could she eat hot meals, but she also had noodles and eggs, which made Shu Yu feel like she was enjoying a heavenly feast.
However, she looked at the old lady.
"Grandmother, you're working too hard. It's so cold, yet you wake up early in the morning to cook for me. You shouldn't..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the old lady interrupted her, "What's so hard about it? When we were in Shishi Village, I used to wake up even earlier. Back then, we had farm work to do, and everyone had to set off before dawn. It was only after you came back and we moved to the county town that we didn't have to wake up early anymore. We slept in a bit later because there was no need. And besides, I'm not an old bone in my seventies or eighties. What's so hard about this? I don't have to do anything else here except prepare three meals and keep the house clean. Plus, San Ya and Da Hu help me, so it's quite easy."
"I've even been thinking that once things settle down, I'll get a couple of hens. They can lay eggs for you every day. And I'll get some vegetables from Zhang's family and tidy up the yard, so we won't have to go out to buy vegetables."
Although they had a mule cart at home, it wasn't convenient to trouble Zhao Xi to go to the county town to buy vegetables all the time. He had his own things to take care of.
"Just enjoy your meal and don't worry about the household matters."
The old lady efficiently prepared Shu Yu's belongings, and when it was almost time to leave, she hurriedly urged her to eat the noodles and peeled the boiled eggs for her.
Shu Yu stopped saying anything and was just taken aback by the meticulous care she was receiving. It made her feel very unaccustomed.
When they were about to leave, the old lady also gave her a coat and said, "It's still cold outside. Put this on and take it off when you feel hot."
Then she handed Shu Yu a few more eggs and said, "These are for Hou Yiniang and the Sixth Miss. Hurry up and go."
With the heavy and sweet burden in her hands, Shu Yu hugged the old lady and said spiritedly, "I'm leaving now."
The old lady smiled and watched her leave. "This girl..." Why did she suddenly become so clingy?
Shu Yu went to the Zhuangzi alone to collect her tools. It was closer to her place, so she didn't need to go through the Shu family's house to take a detour.
When she arrived at the Zhuangzi, Shu Yu first looked for Hou Shi, but there were too many people, and she couldn't find her for a while. On the other hand, Sixth Miss, who had sharp eyes, spotted her first.
After collecting her tools, Sixth Miss and Hou Shi walked briskly toward her. Hou Shi seemed to have something to say. However, before she could speak, Shu Yu handed her the eggs and said, "They're still warm. Eat them while they're hot."
