Since he had already overslept, Du Heng didn't rush. He leisurely got out of bed, took his time washing up, and then went to eat.
During the meal, he asked Du Xuejing, "Tingting, how many days are left until the college entrance examination?"
"Still four days, Uncle."
"Oh, where are you taking the exam?"
"At No. 12 Middle School."
Du Heng finished the last mouthful of soup in his bowl and handed it to Du Xuejing. "Get me another bowl, will you? This sour soup is delicious."
Du Xuejing put down her chopsticks, chuckled, and went to get Du Heng more food. However, his older brother, Du Ping, scolded him, "What's gotten into you? Enjoying a few good days and already getting sentimental about the hard times? I've never seen you so fond of this pot of noodles before. Your sister-in-law used to practically chase you, and you still wouldn't eat an extra bowl."
