Early the next morning, Zhou Lanfang cooked a large pot of sweet potato porridge, steamed a few big sweet potatoes, and stir-fried a large plate of Chinese cabbage.
Such a combination constituted a rather lavish breakfast.
Most households would just boil a few pieces of sweet potato as a quick-fix, most only eating two meals a day, skipping dinner.
The Shen Family, though not very affluent, never missed three meals a day, which was one reason they knew they did not meet the criteria for financial aid.
"Hurry up and eat, eat quickly so you can get to work," Zhou Lanfang urged Shen Mianmian to eat her breakfast as soon as it was served, fearing Shen Mianmian might lose her job to laziness.
Shen Mianmian found this a bit amusing; it was a treatment she had never experienced before, as Zhou Lanfang used to worry she would eat too much.
Shen Jianhua joined in, "No rush, I'll take Mianmian to work later." It would be a good chance to check out his daughter's workplace.
