She sincerely suggested, "Uncle Xiao, if we could acquire this land and build a comprehensive shopping mall, I think it would definitely become a new landmark in Xijing City."

Xiao Jincheng nodded. "Yes, this piece of land is over 70 mu, and quite a few people are interested in it."

"Do you plan to develop it yourself or find someone to collaborate with?"

Xiao Jincheng sighed, "It would be too much pressure for me to operate it myself, but I've talked to a few people and they're not so optimistic about the integrated commercial complex model."

Jiang Xiaoli's eyes darted around. "Uncle Xiao, what if a mixed-use commercial complex also includes office buildings?"

"Screech—" Xiao Jincheng slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the side of the road. "You mean to build office buildings on top of a commercial complex?"

“Yes, that would provide the mall with a stable customer base and make it easier to attract customers. The rental returns for office buildings are also quite good,” she suggested.

Before she committed suicide in her previous life, the third richest person on China's rich list was that real estate tycoon who was famous for building commercial plazas.

Xiao Jincheng slapped his thigh excitedly, "Little Pear, I think your method is feasible! I'll talk to someone about it on Monday!"

He restarted the car. "Hahaha, I knew there was a chance I could talk to you!"

Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Uncle Xiao, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. I'll offer free consultations!"

"Haha, no way! This year, I'll give you a big red envelope as your New Year's money!"

"Hehe, New Year's money? I think that's a good idea!"

After dropping her off at home and agreeing to have hot pot at home the next afternoon, Xiao Jincheng drove away.

That night, she lay in bed, constantly thinking back on what had happened that week, feeling as if she had forgotten something. After reviewing her schedule from last Sunday, she put on her slippers and rushed to Li Guizhi's room.

"Mom, how did our medical checkup go?"

Li Guizhi was knitting a sweater when she was suddenly rushed over and startled. "Oh my, why are you making such a fuss! I picked up the report on Monday, and the doctor said we're both healthy and there's nothing wrong with our bodies."

She was relieved. "Hehe, I accidentally forgot about it when I went to the factory on Monday."

“We’ve already paid for this and had our blood drawn, how could I forget to get the report?” Li Guizhi said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaoli looked at the dark green yarn in her hand and asked, "Mom, who are you knitting a sweater for?"

Li Guizhi shook the part she had finished knitting. "It's for Xiao Zong. What do you think?"

Li Guizhi has skillful hands; the sweater isn't just a simple knit; it's decorated with pretty cable knits.

Jiang Xiaoli picked up the sweater and examined it closely. "This isn't just a sweater, it's a work of art!"

"Haha, you're such a smooth talker! I reckon Xiao Zong's clothes are all bought ready-made. It's getting cold, I should knit him a close-fitting sweater."

"Yes, but please don't knit at night. Take care of your eyes. Don't you always remind me like that?"

Li Guizhi laughed and poked her forehead. "So you've learned to use my words to shut me up, huh? Fine, fine, we'll stop knitting now, let's both protect our eyes."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded in satisfaction and went back to her bedroom.

Since she had no plans for Sunday, she decided to just relax and skip her morning run.

When Jiang Xiaoli woke up, she heard people chatting in the main room.

With her hair all messy, she opened the bedroom door a crack, and Xiao Muyu and her family of three were outside.

The sound of her opening the door made everyone look in her direction, so she simply opened the door wide.

"Uncle Xiao, Auntie, Xiaoyu, you're here."

Xiao Muyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw her messy hair. "The sun's already high in the sky, why aren't you up yet?"

Li Guizhi chuckled and reminded her, "Look in the mirror, what kind of look is this?"

Hearing this, she casually ruffled her hair a couple of times, "I'm going for a casual look today, don't worry about it!"

After saying that, she quickly went out to wash up and tidy up. "Ta-da! I'm back! The kitchen smells so good, Auntie, are you already making the braised food?"

Xu Feng looked at her and smiled, "Yes, Little Pear, how many pig's trotters would you like to eat today?"

She chuckled and held up one finger.

Xiao Muyu was a little surprised, "One? Why are you being so conservative today?"

She shook her head.

Xiao Jincheng was also surprised, "Little Pear, you're not going to eat ten of them, are you? Can your little tummy hold them all?"

She continued to shake her head.

Li Guizhi couldn't help but pat her arm, "What are you keeping me in suspense for? Just tell me!"

Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "What I mean is, keep eating."

"Hahaha!" Xiao Jincheng burst out laughing, "Little Pear, you've got quite the nerve!"

Xiao Muyu also complained, "Don't you ever get tired of it?"

She shrugged. "Please call me Jiang, the Big Eater, Little Pear."

Seeing her smugness, Li Guizhi said, "Keep bragging. You call yourself a big eater? If you overeat again today, you'll have to walk around the yard to digest. I won't take care of you then!"

Xu Feng quickly advised, "Little Pear, if you like it, just tell me anytime and I'll make it for you. Don't overeat, it's bad for your stomach."

"Yes, Auntie, I understand!"

At noon, the hot pot was served, and its domineering spicy aroma instantly won over the hearts of the Xiao family of three.

Xu Feng praised repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, no wonder you told Xiao Lizi last time that the hot pot restaurant was missing something. Sure enough, the hot pot broth you made yourself tastes much better!"

"Oh my, how can anyone stop this?" Xiao Jincheng couldn't help but exclaim.

Jiang Xiaoli and Xiao Muyu remained silent; they were too busy talking!

After the meal, a small team was formed in the Jiang family's courtyard to walk around and digest their food.

The group looked at each other, laughing and shoving, which only made their stomachs hurt more.

Jiang Xiaoli seized the opportunity to seek help from her allies, "Xiaoyu, do you think it's my fault for not controlling my food intake if I eat too much?"

Xiao Muyu was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "It's because Auntie's cooking is so good."

"Haha, that's right! Now you understand me!"

Li Guizhi was the only one with relatively strong self-control. She found a few digestive tablets and said, "If you really feel uncomfortable, just take one."

After taking some digestive pills, they finally recovered.

Xu Feng vowed, "I can't eat like this again next time, Lao Xiao, remember to remind me, okay?"

Xiao Muyu couldn't help but speak up, "Mom, how can you put your hopes on my dad? He's much gluttonous than either of us."

"Haha, Xiaoyu, how could you say that to me?" Xiao Jincheng wasn't annoyed by his daughter's teasing.

Xu Feng glanced at him and agreed with her daughter, "That's right, let's keep each other in check!"

Helpless, Xiao Jincheng could only turn to his female daughter, "Little Pear, it seems that only the two of us are on the same side."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Uncle Xiao, the only things we should never let down are dreams and good food. We're pursuing our dreams too, there's nothing shameful about it!"

Xu Feng laughed until her stomach hurt, "Hahaha, Little Pear, you're not only greedy, but you're also stubborn!"
