Life was so hard for them.
However, Yvonne said in surprise, “Commander Bokir, what I meant is that you come with me to my house, and I’ll make Sashakee dumplings for you. You can’t eat this vegetable unless it’s cooked. You can’t eat it raw!”
Jasmine’s expression became a little weird. On the other hand, Molie looked like he wanted to laugh but was afraid to.
“Isn’t it inappropriate for me to go to your house? Does your family have enough food to eat?” Jasmine asked.
Yvonne said cheerfully, “Enough! We have enough to eat! We have a lot of food at home. We can’t finish them so soon.”
“How come you have a lot of food at home?” Jasmine asked in confusion.
Most of the poor had no source of income after the closure of factories and companies. There should not be enough food.
Yvonne was a little embarrassed as she said, “My father was sick earlier. He worried about us going hungry when our family ran out of money, so he asked my mother to buy some food in advance and store it at home. Dehydrated wheat will last for years, so my mother bought extra. Besides, my father has been out of work for a long time because of his injury…”
“Now that the factories and the companies are closed, it makes no difference to our family. The mayor also opened the granary and gave us free food, so my family has nothing to worry about, of course.”
“I see…”
Jasmine did not hesitate as he went to Yvonne’s house with Molie.
Yvonne’s house was also clean now, a big difference from last time.
Jasmine and Molie’s arrival surprised Bob and his wife, and they thanked him for quite some time before finally calming down.
Yvonne nodded and was about to go to the cellar, but Jasmine stopped him.
“Don‘t be extravagant and wasteful just because we’re here. Just eat like you normally do,” Jasmine said to Yvonne’s mother.
“I didn’t come for food…” Jasmine said with a laugh.
