"Oh my! Sister, just look at your sister-in-law, what a paragon of virtue!" Xu Jingjing, who had just gotten up, promptly perked up with praise upon seeing the breakfast Song Yuanyao had prepared, then without any reserve, directly sat down at the table to enjoy it, "With Yuanyao here, Sister, you must really despise me! I'm always just stretching out my hand for free food and drink..."
"Sister Jingjing, you just love to make fun of me," Song Yuanyao joked, well acquainted with Xu Jingjing and on good terms with her, even to the point of jesting with each other, "Don't you believe I'll throw down my ladle and quit at noon, then you'll be the one to wash up and cook the soup." Song Yuanyao playfully threatened.
"Yuanyao, you rest at noon, and since Xu Jingjing is so self-aware, she can do the cooking!" Xu Xiuxiu declared with a sudden cutting remark to Xu Jingjing while eating her bowl of plain congee.
Song Yuanyao was stunned at the words, "Uh, Sister-in-law, I was just kidding."
