After the brief introduction and seeing them invite her, Miss Jhang was pleased to join Yuan Meng and Ning Wei.
"Sister Wei, maybe it's not bad to make a friend."
Yuan Meng muttered as they saw Miss Jhang walk to one of the free tables, her being somewhat happier compared to before.
"Hmm, I didn't feel that she was like others," Wei nodded.
By others, she meant some of the teachers who would sometimes look at them with disdain, partly because of jealousy from the attention they received from others.
With that, the two also followed Miss Jhang, making their way to the empty table which she was also walking to.
After settling themselves and opening the lunchboxes, a delicious aroma wafted out of Yuan Meng and Ning Wei's boxes, eliciting gazes from a few people sitting at the nearby tables.
In fact, even Miss Jhang couldn't help but take a sneak peek at them and was astonished that there was steam coming out of the boxes even now.
'They bought food from somewhere around.'
She thought and then looked at her own lunchbox, which although was slightly warm, wasn't the same as how it would be when the food within was just cooked.
"Miss Jhang, have some."
Yuan Meng said while extending a few spoonfuls of rice and dumplings.
Although rice would be a daily staple, there would be variations like vegetable stir fry, braised chicken, mushroom, etc, making the two ladies and also the children not feel bored of the lunch, yet at the same time keeping the meal full of nutritious.
One had to know that even if the girls had been somewhat of picky eaters before, ever since Grandma Yan and Ye Qian cooked for them, they just couldn't think that anything the two made wasn't delicious.
"Umm, yes, she is in class 1 in the Turtle School," Ning Wei nodded as she took a bite of the eggplant with some of her rice and instantly her tastebuds tingled.
The sweet yet spicy taste of the eggplant along with the savoury taste of the mushroom rice made all of her tastebuds active.
Although it wasn't new to her, she had most of the time relished this every time she ate something that Ye Qian made.
In fact, according to her, every dish that Ye Qian would make had every kind of taste she knew of, and there were many times she felt that there was some different taste to the food which she couldn't actually pinpoint.
"Actually, I didn't think that you were married, much less be having a child," Miss Jhang forced a smile.
Although it was complimentary for women to be praised for their younger looks by men, rarely would a woman say the same.
This was because they would subconsciously think that they were comparing themselves to the other, and that would make them slightly feel envious.
"Hehe, Miss Jhang must be joking, I am just a year older than Sister Meng, how can that be?"
Ning Wei felt her cheeks burning red.
Although this was something that she had heard a few times, Miss Jhang was the first to be surprised but not envious of it.
Women liked to preserve their beauty and would always want to be considered as one.
But age was the limiting factor that would snatch it away from them, no matter how much they were to cling to it.
Hearing her words, Miss Jhang turned her gaze to Yuan Meng before turning back to Ning Wei.
She could easily conclude that even if Ning Wei had a child when she turned 25, she would now be 31 and with what she had just heard, then Yuan Meng was around 30 years old.
But from the looks, none of the two ladies looked older than 25.
