Chapter 29 - Charcoal in the Snow
The Lee's said gratefully: "Yue Mei, how can you be so embarrassed. You often send us other things."
"Aunty, since we have these, we'll send some to you. If I don't have them, then I don't have them either."
The Liu Clan had provided quite a bit of help during their most difficult times. It could be said that they had truly provided timely assistance.
When the few of them reached his doorstep, the Lee's said: "Yue Mei, come in quickly, I'll go cook, and leave after eating."
Liu Yue Mei knew that the Mo family's days were not going well, so she said: "Aunt, I'll put down the dishes for you, then I'll have to go back, my mother is also cooking, and I think it will be ready soon, I have to go back quickly."
Lee's didn't want to do anything. She often sent some to her own house and it was already embarrassing, so she had to stay for a meal no matter what.
"Yue Mei, listen to aunt, leave behind the place to eat, I'm going to go cook now, you and Xiao Yan play a bit first."
Mo Xiao Yan also said, "That's right, Big Sis Yue Mei, you can stay for the meal and head back. It's the same no matter where you eat, come play with me."
Liu Yue Mei saw that Mo Xiao Yan and Mrs Liu had kept him there already, so it would not be good if she talked about it later.
"Xiao Yan, what have you been doing at home?" Liu Yue Mei asked.
Mo Xiao Yan smiled and said: "It's nothing much, let's just continue playing."
"Then you can come and play with me if you're bored. I'm pretty much done with my work at home, so I've been free for the past few days."
"Sister Yue Mei, why didn't you learn embroidery?" Mo Xiao Yan asked.
Liu Yue Mei didn't seem to know about this yet. "Where did you learn this? "I only know a little about embroidery. I also want to find a master to learn from, and in the future, I can help out the family."
"It's in the Chen family. It started a few days ago and was taught for free. A lot of people from the village went there." Mo Xiao Yan said.
When Liu Yue Mei heard that it was a matter of a few days ago, she said, "My parents and I were working in the fields a few days ago. We were busy for a few days, so we did not know about it."
"Sister Yue Mei, are you going?"
Liu Yue Mei obviously wanted to go, and said with a bit of regret: "I definitely want to go, I just don't know if I'll still be going."
Mo Xiao Yan thought for a while and said: "My Second Sister has gone as well. When she returns today, I will ask her and then tell you tomorrow."
"Mn, okay, thank you, Xiao Yan."
Unknowingly, they had chatted for a long time, and the Lee's food had also been prepared.
He shouted from the kitchen: "Yue Mei, Xiao Yan is done eating, quickly come and eat."
Liu Yue Mei looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table. It was pretty rich, it seemed like the Mo Clan was not as bitter as before.
"Yue Mei, quickly take a seat and don't be polite. Treat this as your home from aunt's place." The Lee's said.
This was the third time Liu Yue Mei had eaten at the Mo Clan, and the most sumptuous meal she had would be today.
Liu Yue Mei took a bite and praised: "Aunt, your cooking is so delicious."
"Hur Hur, this kind of coarse tea and light rice, if it's delicious then eat more, don't mention it." Lee's said passionately.
"That's right, Sister Yue Mei. Eat more, don't go back and get hungry again." Mo Xiao Yan said mischievously.
"How could that be? Then I must eat more."
After eating a few mouthfuls, he suddenly thought of Mo Lin Yu's absence and asked: "Aunt, why isn't Lin Yu ge home?"
Lee's took a look and said, "Mmm, he just returned in the evening and went to work."
"Oh."
The few of them happily finished their lunch, and after that, Liu Yue Mei bade farewell and prepared to return home.
