Two days later, Mo Hua went to visit Mr. Zhuang again, and played a little chess with Old Kui while he was there.
When he left, he ran into Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi at the door.
Mr. Zhuang had been slacking off during the New Year holidays, so he had given the Bai Family siblings a break as well.
They had come over now to pay their respects to Mr. Zhuang.
When Bai Zisheng saw Mo Hua, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Mo Hua, are you here to pay your respects to Mr. Zhuang too?"
"Mm." Mo Hua nodded. "I've already seen Mr. Zhuang. I'm going home now."
Bai Zisheng looked a little regretful, then asked, "Can I go to your house to play?"
"Sure," Mo Hua said, then felt a little puzzled. "Why do you suddenly want to come to my house?"
Bai Zisheng made no attempt to hide it. "I want to go eat meat."
"You're not lacking meat to eat, are you? Even if you don't eat Monster Meat, there's still spirit meat."
Bai Zisheng looked left and right, then whispered to Mo Hua, "Aunt Xue's cooking is really awful."
Bai Zixi gave Bai Zisheng a light glare.
Mo Hua, meanwhile, did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't tell Aunt Xue, all right? Otherwise Aunt Xue will get angry," Bai Zisheng said.
"Don't worry." Mo Hua thought for a moment, then asked, "But will Aunt Xue let you go?"
"I've already thought of the excuse." Bai Zisheng said proudly, "I'll say that on ordinary days, I've received a great deal of care from you and Aunt Liu, so I want to come to your door to offer my thanks."
"All right, as long as you can convince Aunt Xue."
Bai Zisheng nodded.
