When Manbao finished washing up and went to the kitchen, Junior Ms. Qian had already prepared their breakfast.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, possibly drawn by the aroma, didn't eat at Aunt Rong's place and came straight over to join them.
Junior Ms. Qian had risen early today, and since the house had a stone mill, she made soy milk and tofu.
She boiled the soy milk directly for them to drink and, seeing Bai Shan and the others arrive, she smiled and served them each a big bowl, letting them add sugar themselves.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang greeted Old Zhou, Ms. Qian, and the others politely, then sat next to Zhou Man, reaching out together to grab the meat patties placed at the center of the table.
Manbao took a bite of the meat patty, then a sip of soy milk, and said to the two, "Bring a meat patty for Changyu. I guess Mingda would eat it too, so take one for her as well."
Bai Shan glanced at the meat patties on the plate and nodded—there were plenty, so they had no objections.
