It all boils down to being too poor, having too many things to consider.
If the family's financial condition were better and the burden less heavy, they wouldn't have to save a bit of lunch money by not letting the child eat at the cafeteria.
However, this is the norm; it's the life of ordinary people.
Yi Chichi had nothing else to say but to smile and see the person off.
In the evening, Wen Shi returned home from work to cook, and Yi Chichi followed him around, praising him for being great and cooking deliciously.
Wen Shi was so overwhelmed by her praise that he felt his hair stand on end. He asked anxiously, "Honey, I haven't made any mistakes recently, have I?!"
He looked very uncertain.
Yi Chichi was puzzled by his abrupt words, "No mistakes."
"...Your praise makes me nervous!"
Goodness, she must be quite fierce to make her man nervous even when praised.
Yi Chichi felt the need to defend herself.
"I haven't praised you before?"
"You have."
