"Since Xiaolan's friend is here, of course, they can join us. We're planning a big lunch anyway!"
Ah Qing laughed heartily, patting the little fox's head in agreement.
The lunch table was laden with a roasted whole lamb and other local delicacies, far more than could be consumed in one meal. The amount could easily cover dinner and a midnight snack too.
Sometimes, having too much delicious food is a delightful dilemma.
Xiaolan mentioned bringing a good friend over for a meal, and Ah Qing was naturally welcoming. It's just a matter of adding an extra plate and set of chopsticks; the more, the merrier.
"Don't worry! Da Ju has a huge appetite. With Da Ju here, there won't be any leftovers on the table..."
The little fox, looking confident, tugged on Ah Qing's sleeve, indicating for her to follow.
"Momo, I'll go with Xiaolan to greet a friend. Just order me a plain tea drink!"
As Ah Qing stood up to leave, she looked over at Momo and spoke.
"Okay!" Momo nodded in agreement.
