After getting home, Lu Zhenping served the food he had kept warm on the stove for the mother and son duo without asking anything about the old courtyard. Shen Meng and Lu Mingkai continued eating while he took a few children to fetch firewood from the mountain on a flatbed cart.
"Mom, I want to go up the mountain too, I want to catch little birds."
"I think you also want to go to the sky. You've had enough excitement for today. Finish your meal and go to sleep obediently for your mom, or else I'll spank you."
Lu Mingkai, used to her tough talk but soft-hearted nature, wasn't scared at all and even pouted at her.
Although Shen Meng wanted to enter her space to have hotpot, the meal was prepared by Lu Zhenping; she had gone to enjoy herself while he kept it warm over the stove which made her feel it shouldn't be wasted, so she ate some of it.
