Seeing Zhao Jinbao walking towards her, Widow Lee felt a wave of joy in her heart. She was afraid that Zhao Jinbao would avoid her, and there were too many troubles in front of a widow's door.
”Sister Lee, what's the matter? You're acting so secretive!” Zhao Jinbao asked after seeing the Widow Lee close the door.
”It's nothing, I knew you were working in the fields so I specially ordered something to eat!” The Widow Lee led Zhao Jinbao enthusiastically into the living room.
”I've already eaten at home. I'm not hungry yet, so there's no need to go through all this trouble!”
”It's no trouble. I know you've already eaten, so I gave you a few eggs. They're still warm. Have some!” The Widow Lee said as she removed the lid of the small steel pot placed on the table.
Zhao Jinbao took a look and confirmed that there were a few eggs inside. They were quite small, so they should be grass eggs.
”You're not eating? I'm really not hungry yet!” Zhao Jinbao was indeed not hungry, so he really did not want to eat it.
However, the passionate Widow Lee still fished out the eggs, broke one into pieces, and gave it to Zhao Jinbao. Since the other party had already handed it to him, Zhao Jinbao naturally had no reason to reject it, so he ate it as well.
He didn't know if it was from someone else's house, but Zhao Jinbao felt that the eggs in Widow Lee's house were much better than his own grass eggs. Although he wasn't hungry, he still ate the eggs in big mouthfuls.
Seeing that, Widow Lee peeled another one for Zhao Jinbao. As Zhao Jinbao ate, she felt happy in her heart, so she went along with it and said: ”What are you eating for! Eat more, there's more in the pot. ”
”Cough cough cough!” Cough, cough, cough! ” Zhao Jinbao was immediately stumped by Widow Lee's words. What do you mean by eating to make up for it?
”Aiyo, are you okay? I'm just casually saying that I'm going to get you some water.” Seeing that Zhao Jinbao had stopped choking, the Widow Lee immediately poured water for him. Then, he patted Zhao Jinbao's back to ease his anger.
After drinking the water, Zhao Jinbao was finally satisfied, but he did not dare eat the eggs of Widow Lee's family. Instead, he sat there obediently, waiting for Widow Lee to tell him what he wanted to tell her.
However, since the Widow Lee had called for Zhao Jinbao, there was nothing much for them to do. Thus, the two of them sat on the chairs, waiting for each other to speak.
After being silent for two to three minutes, Zhao Jinbao felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. Summoning him to come to Widow Lee at night, could it be that he was doing something wrong? Although Zhao Jinbao liked to eat little tofu and take advantage of things, he didn't have the guts to do anything to the Widow Lee.
Although he did not have a clear seniority relationship, in Zhao Jinbao's heart, he still treated Widow Lee as a senior. As for what Widow Lee was thinking, Zhao Jinbao did not know.
”Sister Lee, your eggs are pretty delicious. They don't taste like grass eggs.” Zhao Jinbao found a random topic to chat with.
Widow Lee was also feeling a little awkward, but after hearing Zhao Jinbao's question, he immediately followed up: ”Your mouth is really sharp, you can even taste that, this is the wild pheasant's egg that I picked up by the side of the road when I was in the fields last time.”
”wild pheasant? Is there anyone in our village who raises wild pheasant? ” Zhao Jinbao was startled. Although he had heard of this kind of chicken before, but he had never seen it before.
