Hearing this, the government staff felt ashamed and one of them quickly said, "Comrade Li, you are too polite. It's us who came uninvited."
After they took their seats, Lu Jueyu said, "Comrades, please treat this place as your home. Don't be polite and eat more."
Even if she said so, they didn't dare to move their chopsticks after seeing the food on the table. Besides the thin millet porridge, there were only several whole wheat steamed buns and a small plate of pickled vegetables.
Seeing this, one of the government staff asked, "Comrade Li, your family's situation is not better than others. Why did you donate so many supplies to the military barracks?"
Li Chenmo smiled at his words and said, "It's okay for my family to eat less, as we can find something from the mountain foothills to fill our stomachs if we are hungry. But the soldiers have to train and do missions."
