Li Chenmo looked at Wang Jie and said with a smile, "My wife prepared some breakfast. Eat something before you go."
At first, Wang Jie wanted to refuse, but the aroma of fragrant egg porridge from the kitchen was too tempting. Feeling the hunger on his stomach worsened, he nodded and said, "Thank you, Third Brother."
"You came so early to help us. It’s the least we can do," Li Chenmo said casually.
After Wang Jie sat in the living room, Li Chenmo went to the kitchen to fetch breakfast. At the same time, Li Lingyun emerged from his room.
Noticing the bicycles in the yard, he walked over to the living room while yawning. "Xiao Wang, haven’t you eaten?"
Wang Jie quickly stood the moment he heard his voice and replied, "Boss, I have eaten, but—"
"If you are hungry, just say so," interrupted Li Lingyun.
"No need to be polite. My third sister-in-law’s cooking is excellent. Consider yourself lucky to try it, so eat more," he added.
Though it sounded like bragging, Wang Jie knew his boss was trying to put him at ease and encourage him to eat more. He felt grateful due to his boss’s consideration.
Soon after, Dong Li entered the living room while carrying a tray of food. As he set it on the table, he looked at his uncle and said, "Second Uncle, I want to go with my parents to help. Can you talk to my father so he will let me go?"
Raising an eyebrow at his words, Li Lingyun asked, "What did your father say?"
"My Father told me to stay home and go with Grandpa later, but I really want to help," Dong Li admitted helplessly.
After a moment of thought, Li Lingyun said, "You had better listen to your father. Having you at home will put us at ease. Besides, your grandpa can’t read, so he won’t be able to take the bus alone."
Dong Li hadn’t considered this before and now realized he could contribute more by staying with his grandfather. He should think more about the reasons behind his father’s words. It seems that his comprehensive skills are still lacking.
"I understand, Second Uncle," he said with a nod.
Patting his nephew’s shoulder, Li Lingyun said, "Later, when we leave, make sure to remind your grandpa to take his medicine and avoid strenuous activities."
"Okay," Dong Li nodded before he left the room.
As Li Lingyun walked off to wash up, he glanced at Wang Jie and said, "Eat before the food gets cold."
With everyone busying themselves, Wang Jie was left alone in the living room. Although it was rude to leave a guest alone, he thought it was a good thing that no one was waiting for him while he was eating. He could now eat to his heart’s content without feeling self-conscious.
Before leaving, she went to their room to grab her bag and a small basket. She filled the basket with various seasonings and sauces from her space, closed the lid, and joined her husband outside, where he was already waiting. freēwēbnovel.com
