Hearing Han Jinhe's words, Lin Mu'ai replied as she boiled a pot of water, "I just added one more portion when cooking and smoked the meat. It's not hard."
Inside the house, the two female educated youths stared at their backs with blatant jealousy before one of them said, "We should inform Sister Jiang about this."
Hearing this, the other one nodded and said, "Let's go now."
While the two of them left in a hurry, Lin Mu'ai boiled the noodles and some vegetables. At the same time, she made a fried egg.
Once the noodles and vegetables were cooked, she scooped them into a bowl and poured in two ladles of bone soup before placing the fried egg on top.
She set the bowl of noodles on the small table in front of Han Jinhe and said, "Comrade Han, eat it while it's hot."
Staring at the steaming bowl of noodles, Han Jinhe gulped and said, "Then I won't be polite."
Lin Mu'ai smiled and prepared another bowl for herself. Unlike Han Jinhe's large portion, hers was only half the size.
