Seeing his father's fierce expression, Song Yaozu didn't dare to ask a second question.

I took the money, opened the door, and went out. As I went downstairs, I saw other mothers holding their children's hands, going upstairs with smiles on their faces and pleasant voices coming from behind.

"How was your study today, son?"

"I got 100 on my test today."

"You're such a good son! Mom will fry two eggs for you tonight!"

"But I want to eat crab roe noodles, can you make them for me?"

"Okay, Mom will make it for you tomorrow. Mom will go buy crabs for you first thing tomorrow morning, then steam them, peel them, and make crab roe noodles for you!"

"Okay! Okay!"

The little boy's cheerful voice reached his ears, but it became increasingly grating.

He was once as happy as a little boy, with Lu Zhixia preparing delicious meals for him every day.

She wouldn't buy him a new piece of clothing, but she'd be willing to dress him in the best clothes...

He cried with regret. What a wonderful mother!

He lost it!

Lu Zhixia prepared the wonton filling at home in advance and then kneaded a dough, so that she could just wrap the wontons when she arrived at the destination.

The thought of suddenly becoming a millionaire makes the road ahead seem much wider.

Feeling that it was about time, I locked the door, took my things, and went downstairs.

They happened to be walking towards each other and exchanged a smile.

Gu Lingxiao strode over and said, "Give me what you have in your hand."

Lu Zhixia didn't stand on ceremony and gave him the things.

"I've already mixed the meat filling and dough. All I need to do is wrap the wontons when we get there. I bought a lot of chicken today, so I can make big wontons."

"That's great!"

"Gu Lingxiao! Do you know which area in our city has the best houses, with reasonable prices, and most importantly, safety?"

"The houses on Huainan Road are nice, but they're a bit pricey, costing over 1,000 yuan a unit. However, the surrounding environment is good."

I'll go take a look when I have time.

"What, you want to buy a house?"

"I'm just going to take a look." Lu Zhixia felt it would be better to tell everyone after the house was bought.

"The scenery there is nice, and most importantly, the transportation is convenient. There are hospitals and schools nearby, so the price is a bit higher."

How do you know so clearly?

"To be honest, I have a house over there, which I bought a few years ago."

"So, are you going to sell it or not?"

"Not for sale!"

"Alright! A gentleman doesn't take what others cherish. I'll go take a look tomorrow and see if there are any other houses."

"So you're planning to use all the money you earn to buy a house!"

"Actually, it was because Su Lan's mother-in-law came to visit that I felt that renting a house was unstable and that I needed to have my own house so that I wouldn't be kicked out."

"Only a house that belongs to oneself can be considered a home."

This statement strengthened Lu Zhixia's resolve to buy a house, so that she could provide her child with a stable living environment once the child was found.

They quickly got into the car. The weather was a bit cool today, and the breeze blowing in through the car window swept away the slight heat they felt.

“Autumn is coming, and it’s not hot to drive now. Sometimes it’s even a bit cold when the wind blows on you,” Xiao Zhang blurted out.

Lu Zhixia looked up at the trees outside the window. Some of the leaves had already turned yellow. Indeed, autumn had arrived without her noticing.

The car soon stopped at the entrance of the alley. They got out of the car and walked towards Grandpa's small courtyard as usual.

"Sister Xia, I want to eat three bowls of wontons today!"

"Don't worry, there's enough for you. I prepared a lot today. I just didn't have time to prepare the fried dough sticks because I had something to do this morning."

"Then let's eat it next time!"

"Okay! I'll prepare it for you next time!"

Gu Lingxiao was in a bad mood. He glanced at Xiao Zhang, who then fell silent.

When she arrived at her grandfather's courtyard, Lu Zhixia first washed her hands, then went into the house and saw her grandfather organizing medical books.

"How can there be so many books!"

"I met a junk collector today and saw this set of books. I thought it looked nice, so I bought it. I found out that they are all rare copies. After you sort them out, you can take them home and read them."

Lu Zhixia picked up a book at random and saw that it was written in small traditional Chinese characters, which were handwritten and not printed.

The handwriting is clearly visible, indicating that it was well-maintained before.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

"Don't be so polite with me. Actually, I don't know many characters, and my handwriting isn't very good either. Otherwise, I could write you a few books."

"Okay then! I'll come find you when I have time, and you can tell me what you want me to write!"

"We'll talk about it when you have time. You're always so busy, like a spinning top."

"I've been quite busy lately, but I'll come and stay at your place when I have more free time in the winter."

"Sure! That way your grandma and I will be in for a treat, we can eat whatever we want."
