Sunlight streamed through the window, and Manbao finally turned over and stretched lazily before getting up.
The family had long finished breakfast. It was a quiet winter day; most of them had gone out to play, leaving only a few people still at home.
Junior Ms. Qian was busy preparing New Year's gifts for each family, as per Ms. Qian's instructions. With the holiday approaching and Manbao and the others just returning from the capital, the gifts for relatives had to be a bit more extravagant.
Especially for Uncle Qian's family.
Seeing Manbao come over, Junior Ms. Qian wiped her hands and asked, "You're awake. Are you hungry? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
Manbao had already slipped into the kitchen, lifted the pot lid, and saw a white bun. She said, "No need, I'll just eat the bun."
Ms. Qian glanced over and said, "Boil her an egg to go with the bun. No need for noodles."
