"No, it's fine," Zhang Xiaoxiao said awkwardly. 0
"Don't be polite," Aunt Lihua said warmly. 0
"I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao hesitated. 0
"Don't feel shy; we made some delicious food today," Aunt Lihua said happily. 0
"What delicious food?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked curiously. 0
"Roast duck," Aunt Lihua replied cheerfully. 0
"Roast duck?" Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise. 0
"Yes," Aunt Lihua confirmed. 0
"Why did you suddenly decide to have roast duck?" Zhang Xiaoxiao inquired with curiosity. 0
"Fangfang said she wanted to eat it, so we bought one," Aunt Lihua explained joyfully. 0
"Oh, I see," Zhang Xiaoxiao understood. 0
"Come on, let's go eat," Aunt Lihua said excitedly. 0
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoxiao responded. 0
Aunt Lihua took Zhang Xiaoxiao back to her home. 0
As soon as Zhang Xiaoxiao entered the yard, she saw it was filled with people. 0
"Why are there so many people?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise. 0
"They heard that Fangfang bought a roast duck, so they all came over," Aunt Lihua explained. 0
"Oh, I see," Zhang Xiaoxiao understood. 0
"Let's go inside," Aunt Lihua said cheerfully. 0
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied. 0
Aunt Lihua led Zhang Xiaoxiao into the main room. 0
When Fangfang saw Zhang Xiaoxiao arrive, she stood up. 0
"Xiaojie, you're here!" Fangfang said happily. 0
"Fangfang," Zhang Xiaoxiao said awkwardly. 0
"Xiaojie, come sit down quickly," Fangfang urged warmly. 0
"Alright," Zhang Xiaoxiao responded. 0
Fangfang pulled Zhang Xiaoxiao down to sit and served her a bowl of chicken soup. 0
"Xiaojie, drink some soup first," Fangfang said cheerfully. 0
"Thank you," Zhang Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude. 0
 
 
Zhang Xiaoxiao picked up the chicken soup and took a small sip. 0
"It's delicious," Zhang Xiaoxiao praised. 0
"If it's good, then drink more," Aunt Lihua said happily. 0
"Mm," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied. 0
Fangfang saw that Zhang Xiaoxiao enjoyed the soup and felt secretly pleased. 0
She thought about having Zhang Xiaoxiao eat at their house more often, as that would allow them to earn some extra money. 0
Everyone sat in the courtyard, eating and chatting. 0
Zhang Xiaoxiao was toasted by everyone in turn, and she drank tea instead of wine. 0
After the meal, everyone was very happy. 0
Once they finished eating, Fangfang grabbed Zhang Xiaoxiao's arm. 0
"Sister Xiao, why don't you just eat at our house from now on?" Fangfang said cheerfully. 0
"This..." Zhang Xiaoxiao said awkwardly. 0
"What's wrong?" Fangfang asked, confused. 0
"I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao stammered. 0
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't know how to refuse; she didn't want to eat at their house because it would be too awkward for her. 0
"Fangfang, don't do this," Aunt Lihua said. 0
"Mom, what's wrong?" Fangfang asked, puzzled. 0
"Don't put Xiaoxiao in a difficult position," Aunt Lihua admonished. 0
"I..." Fangfang said, feeling wronged. 0
"Xiaoxiao, I'll take you home," Aunt Lihua said. 0
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied. 0
Aunt Lihua led Zhang Xiaoxiao out the door and headed towards her home. 0
"Aunt, thank you for today," Zhang Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude. 0
"You're welcome," Aunt Lihua said happily. 0
"Here, this is for you," Zhang Xiaoxiao said as she took a bill out of her pocket and handed it to Aunt Lihua. 0
"What are you doing?" Aunt Lihua refused. 0
"The family dinner today was on me; this is for you," Zhang Xiaoxiao explained. 0
"I can't accept this," Aunt Lihua insisted. 0
"Aunt, please take it," Zhang Xiaoxiao urged. 0
"I really can't accept it," Aunt Lihua reiterated. 0
 
 
"Aunt, I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao hesitated. 0
 
"What's wrong?" Aunt Lihua asked curiously. 0
 
"I don't want to make it difficult for you," Zhang Xiaoxiao said seriously. 0
 
"What do you mean?" Aunt Lihua asked, confused. 0
 
"I can't eat at your house; it would be hard for you," Xiaoxiao said with concern. 0
 
"You're overthinking it," Aunt Lihua comforted her. 0
 
"I'm not overthinking; I really feel it's not right," Zhang Xiaoxiao insisted. 0
 
"Why?" Aunt Lihua asked, puzzled. 0
 
"I can't keep eating at your house," Zhang Xiaoxiao said earnestly. 0
 
"Why?" Aunt Lihua repeated, still confused. 0
 
"I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao said awkwardly. 0
 
"If you feel it's inconvenient, you don't have to come to our house for dinner," Aunt Lihua understood. 0
 
"Aunt, I'm sorry," Zhang Xiaoxiao apologized. 0
 
"No need to say sorry," Aunt Lihua reassured her. 0
 
"I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed. 0
 
"If you don't want to come, then don't. No one will blame you," Aunt Lihua understood. 0
 
"Aunt, thank you," Zhang Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude. 0
 
"You're welcome," Aunt Lihua replied happily. 0
 
"Take this," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. 0
 
"I can't accept it," Aunt Lihua refused. 0
 
"You should take it," Zhang Xiaoxiao urged. 0
 
"I really can't accept it," Aunt Lihua insisted. 0
