Chapter 365

"I see she's very busy... I'll ask about it tomorrow! It's rare to have a bed to sleep in today!"

"Yes yes, good night—"

the next morning.

Xia Enxue got up with the dawn as usual.The weather was fine today, she stretched her muscles a little, and then began to clean up her clothes.

When she came to the corridor, she heard voices in the kitchen, Xia Enxue poked her head in through the open door, and saw the old woman happily preparing breakfast.She rolls the bread dough into a round shape, molds it out, spreads melted butter on it, puts it in the oven, and turns the large hourglass upside down to start the timer.

Xia Enxue knocked lightly on the door and said, "Good morning."

"Hey, Xia Enxue, good morning! Why did you wake up so early? Or did I wake you up?"

"No, I always get up this early. By the way, do you bake bread every morning like this?"

Xia Enxue asked, and the old lady replied without stopping her work: "Yes, baking bread is my first job after waking up in the morning, because it requires quite a lot of portion!"

The family sat on chairs in the dining room when they got up.The man is wearing a suit, his wife is wearing a suit, and the son is carrying a small schoolbag.

"Good morning Xia Enxue, did you sleep well last night?"

the man asked.

"Very well, thanks to you." Xia Enxue replied.

At this time, the table was filled with freshly baked bread, several kinds of jams, honey, half-boiled eggs, salad, and fried crispy bacon.

"Please go ahead and eat," said the man.

Xia Enxue bluntly put what she could eat on the plate first.Then enjoy it slowly and happily.

The family sat in the same silence as last night.After a while, throw away all those foods.

The man called the old woman over and asked her to help carry their bags.Then the three of them went out.

The old lady walked back to the dining room and asked Xia Enxue how it tasted?
Xia Enxue said: "Among the breakfasts I have eaten recently, it is the only one that is impeccably delicious. It is even better than any restaurant."

"Wow, thank you for the compliment."

"Speaking of which, I want to ask you something..."

Xia Enxue asked, the old lady stopped working and turned around and said, "What's the matter?"

"May I ask where this family is going?"

"The owner and his wife go out to work, and their son seems to be going to kindergarten. Starting today, he will have classes four days a week."

After that, Xia Enxue told the little squirrel again.

"Is that so, did the old lady really say that?"

"Yeah! By the way, the two of them work in different places. Because the owner is closer to the school, he is responsible for picking up and dropping off the children. It seems that they will not come back until evening."

"Oh, but I would really like to ask where they work and study!"

"...What shall we do next?"

"Aren't you leaving? Anyway, if you continue to stay, you won't be able to find out why!"

"Well, I've thought about that too, but it's better to stay a little longer."

"That's fine, but why?"

"Sorry, for a very personal reason..."

"What reason?"

Xia Enxue pushed the little squirrel who had unloaded his luggage and was wearing a jacket to go outside.

The dried sheets swayed beside the entrance.The old woman squatted in the field, not knowing what she was doing.

Xia Enxue walked towards the old woman.

"The taro is almost ready to be harvested. In winter, everyone likes to eat this side dish roasted with chicken. I wonder if we can make this dish tonight?"

"It sounds...it seems to be delicious too!" Xia Enxue said, and the little squirrel whispered: "I was really defeated by you!"
