"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Zhang."
Mai Xiaomai felt the topic was a bit awkward, so she hurriedly said, "Is the food ready? Despite a day of manual labor, I'm famished."
She indeed was starving.
Not only had she been digging and turning soil, but just now, she'd also been engaged in some rather intense physical activity, leaving her so hungry her stomach felt like it was stuck to her back.
"I'll go heat it up right now. You two start with some soup to tide you over."
Mrs. Zhang hurried off to warm up the dishes.
The two of them sat down to have some soup.
"Glug glug glug..."
Being extremely hungry, Mai Xiaomai's soup-drinking noises were quite loud.
Qiao Chutian looked up and rolled his eyes at her, "Can't you drink a bit more quietly?"
"Who was complaining just now that my voice was too soft?"
Mai Xiaomai rolled her eyes back at him.
