Throughout the journey, silence reigned as Zhang Xiaowei drove them, mother and daughter, back to Yinhai County.
After purchasing two sets of bedding and some daily necessities, they headed straight for Kaoshan Village in the cover of night.
The trip took longer than expected, and the construction site canteen had already closed for the night.
Zhang Xiaowei had specifically asked Li Hongmei to save some food for the three of them.
When they arrived at the village, the lights in the canteen were still on.
Upon hearing the sound of the car, Li Hongmei immediately came out to greet them.
As he got out of the car, Zhang Xiaowei gave Li Hongmei a slight smile.
After a quick glance at Ling Man and her mother, Li Hongmei cheerfully invited, "Come in and have some water. I'll go warm up the food for you."
At these words, Ling Man's mother immediately responded sarcastically, "What, you're serving us leftovers?"
