After Xia Jing finished cooking the meal, Xia Xiao told her to take the pot of rice outside, and Gao Jiaxing came in to carry out the dishes. On the way, he also asked, "Are the bowls washed yet?"
"My sister washed them, they are right here. You can take them out." Xia Xiao said.
"I'll carry out the dishes first," Gao Jiaxing said, and then he took the dishes outside.
Xia Xiao chuckled to herself; this obsession with washing dishes had even brought him specially inside to offer to wash.
Today's meal included rabbit meat, fish, fish soup, and some greens. It was simple, without any elaborate preparation, but everyone felt it was quite a feast.
Yan Hao, Xia Jing, and Hong Xing all felt too embarrassed to eat much, while Zheng Xianghong kept urging everyone to eat more, and also said to Xia Xiao, "Xia Xiao, take good care of your sister. You should just treat this like your own home, don't be shy, eat plenty, and don't leave any leftovers. We can't afford to waste food now."
