"Sister, I'm not tired."
"Xiaomai, Duoduo has been really diligent, getting up at six o'clock to help me with chores, which has saved me a lot of worry."
Mother Mai came out of the kitchen with an apron on, "Xiaomai, Duoduo, breakfast is ready, come and eat."
Mai Xiaomai led Duoduo into the dining room.
The breakfast was quite rich, with preserved egg and lean pork congee, milk, sandwiches, fried eggs, and vermicelli.
Mai Xiaomai knew that this was specially prepared by mom for Duoduo. Usually, their family would just have a simple bowl of porridge or bread and milk for breakfast.
It seemed that mom liked Duoduo quite a bit.
"Eat up, Duoduo. You've been busy all day, you must be starving."
Mother Mai urged Duoduo to eat, then served a bowl of preserved egg and lean pork congee to Xiaomai, "You've just recovered from an illness, so just have porridge, and the rest is for Duoduo."
"Dad?"
Mai Xiaomai asked while sipping the congee.
"He's gone out to play cards."
"Oh."
