When Zhu Jing saw Wen Ci, she greeted her warmly. She grabbed an egg from the side and offered it to Wen Ci, chuckling, "Here, have an egg."
Wen Ci waved her hand, refusing. "I couldn't possibly, Sister Jing."
'The cafeteria at the Northwest Military Region only gives out free eggs on Monday mornings. It's not Monday, so I can't take Sister Jing's egg.'
Zhu Jing explained, "This egg is from the free-range chickens my husband's family raises. It's not a cafeteria egg. They're especially nutritious."
Hearing Zhu Jing's words reminded Wen Ci that Sister Jing's husband was from Li Family Village. The village wasn't far from the Northwest Military Region and was home to about a hundred families.
Wen Ci shook her head, still refusing. "You should give it to your little monkey."
'Sister Jing's son, her little monkey, just started second grade. He's so small and thin, and kids need all the nutrition they can get when they're growing. The free-range egg should be saved for him.'
