Li Chunhua wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled and hugged her son. Her voice still trembled with sobs as she spoke...

"Okay, okay, as long as you're doing well, I'm willing to do anything."

Li Taiping was deeply moved as he looked at the family in front of him. He walked to Li Chunhua's side, tentatively embraced the whole family, and then slowly began to speak.

"Sister Chunhua, wait for me here. I'm going home to get some rice. I still have quite a bit left."

“Boguang, Xiaoyue, and Xiaoxue are all growing and need to eat something good. Wait here for me, I’ll go home and get it and come right back.”

After Li Taiping finished speaking, he stood up and, ignoring Li Chunhua's attempts to stop him, quickly ran back to the educated youth settlement to get the grain.

He checked it just now, and all that was on the stove was corn porridge; there wasn't a single vegetable dish.

He looked at the three sensible children, and felt especially sorry for Li Chunhua.

After Li Taiping left, Tian Boguang, now ten years old and understanding many things, went up and took his mother's hand. He said earnestly:

"Mom, don't worry, when I grow up I will take good care of you."

Looking at Li Chunhua's tired face, Tian Boguang felt particularly sorry for her.

Li Chunhua was overjoyed to hear her son's words. She reached out and gently patted Tian Boguang's head, saying softly:

“You’re still young. We’ll talk about it when you’re older. If your Uncle Li treats you badly, you must tell me, okay? Mom can still stand it.”

Tian Boguang nodded, and he, his sister, and his mother were all in the house, looking exceptionally warm and cozy.

After leaving, Li Taiping quickly returned to his home, took half a bag of rice, and rummaged through the cupboard to find a pheasant.

This was something Wei Mo had given him to trade. He kept it for himself, intending to take it to Li Chunhua's family today to improve their meals.

He started rummaging through the cabinet again, and soon he pulled out a wad of money from a small box at the bottom of the cabinet, which he also put in his pocket.

Since he planned to marry into the village, he couldn't let Li Chunhua live there anymore, since that house still belonged to Tian Zhigang.

He wanted to live a good life and was afraid of making Li Chunhua's three children suffer. Although he hadn't thought of this before, he was a very responsible person.

He tucked all the money into his pocket, planning to go to the old village chief later to get a plot of land for a house next to Wei Mo's.

He plans to build another house, after all, he wants to bring Li Chunhua and her children into the new house.

After doing all this, Li Taiping carried the grain on his back, picked up the pheasant, and ran towards Li Chunhua's house.

Li Chunhua and the children were waiting for Li Taiping to arrive in the yard. She wanted to give the children a good meal, so she hadn't cooked yet.

Seeing Li Taiping running towards her from afar, Li Chunhua was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to take the pheasant from Li Taiping's hand.

Tian Xue and Tian Yue, standing nearby, also stared wide-eyed at the beautiful pheasant feathers and praised it.

"The pheasant feathers that Uncle Li brought are really beautiful."

Tian Yue also spoke up from the side, looking exceptionally happy.

"Uncle Li, is this for us to eat?"

Tian Yue looked adorable, and Li Taiping liked her very much. He squatted down, patted Tian Yue's little head, and said to the two sisters,

"Yes, I'll treat you to a better meal today."

Tian Boguang stood to the side, unsure of what to say, after all, he was quite sensible.

Just as he hesitated, Li Taiping pulled out a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it to the three sisters. Tian Boguang finally called out.

"Uncle Li, thank you."

Li Taiping looked at Tian Boguang, who was somewhat reserved, and wanted to get along with him. He still had about ten kilograms of rice on him.

After thinking for a moment, he handed the rice to Tian Boguang. Then he said to him,

“Boguang, you’ve grown up and become sensible. Don’t worry, just call me Dad. I won’t let you suffer. Take this grain. You and your mother will eat grain and rice for the time being.”

"Don't worry about not having enough food. Don't worry, I will get you rice. I will build you a nice house and bring you all home."

Li Taiping didn't care whether Tian Boguang understood these things or not, but he still explained them to Tian Boguang.

This was also to avoid making Tian Boguang worry too much, since he was already a young man.

Tian Boguang happily took the bag of rice, opened it, and saw the translucent rice inside, his face beaming with surprise.

In his memory, he didn't know if he had ever eaten rice, but he had eaten it once at Wei Mo's house.

This rice is exceptionally delicious. He was just a child, and looking at the rice in his pocket, he whispered to Li Taiping:

"Uncle Li, I will take good care of you when you get old."

Li Taiping was also very happy to hear Tian Boguang's words. He patted Tian Boguang on the shoulder and smiled at him:

"You brat, come inside quickly and tell your mom to prepare rice. I'll eat with you today. Go and prepare it first, I'll be back in a bit. I have some errands to run. Tell your mom to make a lot, don't be stingy, I eat a lot."

Tian Boguang nodded when he heard Li Taiping's words.

Then Li Taiping turned and left. He didn't ask any questions, but happily took the rice bag into the house with his sister.

Li Chunhua was also taken aback when she saw Li Taiping leave, and quickly asked her son.

"Boguang, why didn't your Uncle Li come? What did he do?"

Tian Boguang quickly stepped in to explain for Li Taiping.

"Uncle Li has some things to take care of, Mom. Please cook more rice. Uncle Li will be coming over to eat later. He said he eats a lot and asked you to cook more."

Hearing her child's words, Li Chunhua finally felt relieved and happily took the bag of rice from her son's hand.

Looking at the glistening rice, she was almost reluctant to eat it, but when she saw the expectant eyes of the three children beside her, she hardened her heart.

I haven't officially started a relationship with Li Taiping yet, but he's already brought me food. I feel a little embarrassed to eat it.

But not wanting to upset her children, she simply took a few bowls of rice out of the rice bag and started cooking the rice.

If Li Taiping continues to treat her and the family this well, Li Chunhua will be willing to bear children for Li Taiping.

Li Taiping quickly arrived at Wei Mo's house and told the old village chief about the matter. The old village chief was overjoyed when he heard about it.

Even Wei Mo hadn't expected things to be arranged so quickly. The old village chief didn't hesitate either, and took Li Taiping to the brigade headquarters to get the certificate for the homestead.

Construction could begin as soon as Li Taiping had prepared the materials. Li Taiping was a man who was not short of money, and he paid a large sum of money to Li Dazhuang, following the style of the Wei Mo family's house construction.

This allows his house to be constructed quickly; however, the snow and ice have not yet melted, so construction cannot begin until they do.

Li Taiping would then be able to have his own little family.
