He Lang returned three days later. It was the middle of the night again, and the children were already asleep. He brought Shitou and Little Chen with him. The three of them got off the train, hired a vehicle at the station, and brought the goods straight home.
This time, the shipment was more than double the last one, filling up an entire room.
Xue Yue saw that the three of them were covered in dust and dirt.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
He Lang caught his breath and shook his head. "No, we just had some dry rations on the train to tide us over."
At that, Xue Yue waved them over. "Then go get washed up. I'll go make you all some food."
Xue Yue went into the kitchen. There were still leftovers from dinner, which she heated up before cooking three large bowls of noodles for them.
She quickly brought the food out and set down the chopsticks. "Hurry and eat."
