Xiaomeng followed the worker carrying the food tray back to her seat. She plopped down, and if they weren't outside, she would have loved to lounge like Ge You.

"Phew, I'm so tired, it's been a busy day."

Xiaoping immediately put down her mobile game and helped take the plate. "Your food is here too? Wow, there's a big lobster. Handsome, could you help us fry the lobster heads and tails? We'll put them in the porridge later."

The worker responded and left.

"If you're tired, don't do it yourself, I'll take care of it." Xiaoping started cooking the porridge.

The white rice porridge in this pot was actually cooked beforehand until it was soft and fluffy.

Now put it on the table and bring it to a boil again, then you can add the meat and vegetables.

Xiaoping first poured in what Xiaomeng liked to eat, and then added some seasoning for Xiaomeng, saying, "You don't want chili peppers, right?"

"Thank you, I can do it myself." Xiaomeng took the dish Xiaoping handed her.

In no time, her tripe was cooked, and she scooped out two large bowls full. The two girls each had a bowl.

Seeing that all the meat in the porridge was gone, Xiaoping quickly added other types of meat.

Xiaomeng took a bite of the tripe; it was crisp and tasted great. She was happy.

"I think Guangzhou suits me better. I feel very relaxed here." Xiaomeng relaxed completely, even curling her feet up on the plastic beach chair.

While looking at the pot, Xiaoping asked her, "How is your sister? I overheard you talking on the phone for a few minutes the other day and then she ran out. Is she alright now?"

Xiaomeng then recounted her sister's story of getting divorced and raising her child while seeking medical treatment.

"Your sister has had a really tough time. How is Dou Dou doing now?"

"It's alright. I found them a room near the children's hospital so it's convenient for them to do their rehabilitation."

"So now... your sister is divorced?"

“After the divorce, my sister will live in Beijing. It will be easier for her to live away from that wretched place.”

Xiaomeng and Xiaoping raised their bowls of porridge and clinked them together, wishing that Sister Cuiling would soon live the life she wanted.

The two were in high spirits. After finishing the pork and beef offal, they started putting shrimp heads and tails that had been fried to extract shrimp oil into the pot, followed by the shrimp meat that had been cooked.

Finally, I paired the oyster omelet with seafood porridge, and it was delicious!

The two leisurely finished their dinner and late-night snack, and then slowly drove back to the city.

Back home, after washing up, Xiaomeng used her time before bed to write a review of a congee stall that was several thousand words long, and posted it on her account.

This account has nearly 100,000 followers because it updates daily.

They can even open a shared bike service now.

No advertisements have come her yet, and Xiaomeng hasn't decided whether or not to accept them.

Xiaomeng turned on the air conditioner, lay on the silk bedding she had bought for tens of thousands of yuan, and drifted off to sleep.

……

The next morning, Xiaomeng made herself a simple breakfast and drove her U8 toward the museum before the morning rush hour.

Guangzhou is more suitable for her, in terms of climate and customs.

She always felt that Beijing was too serious and restrictive, while Guangzhou had a more relaxed atmosphere.

Xiaomeng entered the museum and checked in at the entrance.

When Xiao Mei, the receptionist, saw her, she was startled and blurted out, "Miss Lin, you're back?"

Xiaomeng was also startled. "Why are you calling me that?"

Xiao Mei chuckled and greeted her politely, "It's nothing, I called you by the wrong name."

"Xiaomeng, you're back? Coming to work so early."

Good morning, you're up early too. Have you eaten?

Xiao Mei sat down to check her makeup. "I ordered takeout, wanna come along?"

"I've already eaten at home."

Xiaomeng carried a small Suzhou-style embroidered cat tote bag to her office.

I hadn't been to work for more than a few days and almost went to the wrong office. Luckily, I saw Xiaoping sitting in the office.
