When Lin Xue returned, Shu'er was still sitting there waiting and hadn't eaten anything from her meal box. Zhang Yuan was sitting across from her, feeling a bit unsure about how to communicate with such a young child, so he decided to wait for Lin Xue to return.
"Shu'er, why aren't you eating?" Lin Xue asked as she returned. Fortunately, it was scorching summer, and the food hadn't cooled down too quickly, plus Sister Kang ate quickly.
Sister Kang is Shu'er's mother, named Kang Chunmei, something Lin Xue learned during their conversation.
She admired Kang Chunmei's ability to introduce herself and briefly explain her travel situation even while taking big mouthfuls of food.
She mentioned having some education, and Lin Xue thought her education level wasn't low, at least she's a middle school graduate.
"Sister..." Shu'er started to explain that she wanted to wait for her sister to return before eating.
