By the end of dinner, all the food Cao Haiyan's mother had brought was gone. However, there were quite a few braised pork bones, with nearly half a pot left.
Tan You looked at the rice cooker. "Let's have it for a late-night snack after the evening study session. That should finish it off. We can leave the rice cooker here, and I'll take it back after class."
"No problem!" Gu Qiuxia was thrilled. "We get to mooch another late-night snack tonight."
Cao Haiyan's mother gathered the dishes. "Alright, you girls head to your classroom. I'll clean up here. Thank you all for taking care of my Haiyan at school."
She genuinely liked Tan You, Yin Xiu, and Gu Qiuxia. They were hardworking, down-to-earth, and could inspire her own daughter to improve. As a parent, she was delighted to see her daughter befriend girls like them.
Yin Xiu felt a little embarrassed. "We look after each other."
