Liu Cuiying held Wu Zhiqiu's hand, not knowing where to start expressing her gratitude. She would never be able to repay Wu Zhiqiu's great kindness in this lifetime!

"We are all family. Now that we have caught up, we can't let outsiders get the advantage!" Wu Zhiqiu clapped Liu Cuiying's hands.

"Okay, it's still early, don't be idle now that you're here, go to the shop and clean up the junk in the house, ask Xiao Liu what he plans to do, your daughter will stay at home to cook." The old lady looked at the dull people in the house and quickly arranged work for them. If they don't work, what are they doing here? What are you doing here? You're stupid!

Following the old lady's instructions, the men all followed Li Mancang.

The third brother was full of fighting spirit, striding in front with his head held high, as if he was full of energy.

Li Mantun pointed at the third brother and asked Li Mancang, "What stimulated you?"

Li Mancang...cannot be told! The secret cannot be revealed!

Li Mantun... Isn't it a bit unfair that the secret of heaven was wasted on the third brother?

The house was busy and Sister Liu came over. Seeing that Xiulan was very satisfied, she rolled up her sleeves and started teaching her. Xiulan was also able to handle the situation, so she called the teacher right away.

Wu Zhiqiu called Da Laba, Zeng Laixi, Uncle Ge, and Uncle Zhang's family over. In the past few months, their family has been plagued by many big and small problems, and these neighbors have been a great help. So he decided to treat everyone to a meal, and today was a good opportunity.

Wu Zhiqiu took Fenglan and Chunni out to buy groceries. They ordered braised pork intestines, beef and mutton, frozen tofu, vermicelli, sesame paste, leeks, and fermented bean curd. They had hotpot in the evening and spent a huge amount of money to buy two copper hotpots.

Several families in the courtyard have never eaten hotpot. It is too expensive and they are reluctant to eat it. One meal of hotpot is enough for a family's living expenses for a month. They have all lived through hard times and know that no one would be willing to eat it.

Even Sister Liu has never been there to eat.

"Can the pot be used to make hot pot at home?" Da Laba touched the copper hot pot curiously. The pot looked expensive.

"It's more economical to eat at home and it costs less. If anyone wants to eat at home in the future, just come to my place and get the pot. The pot is just there anyway and everyone can eat it!" This is what Wu Zhiqiu thought when he bought the food. It is more economical to eat at home and he can always have food for guests during festivals and holidays.

"That's great. When my sons come, I will borrow the pot and let them have a taste too." Zeng Dexian, the father of Da Laba, has already bought a car. He said he would go out in the next two days. The youngest son has also gone to work at the restaurant early. When Dexian drives out, Da Laba will be willing to cook something for his sons!

"Come and take it. This pot is old and will get rusty if it is left there!"

"Then we won't be polite!" Aunt Zhang also said with a smile that in the future, when guests come to the house, it will be more face-saving to eat hot pot, it doesn't cost much, and it saves trouble.

"Aunt Zhang, just take it. We are so close that there's no need to be polite!"

Chunni picked out a few pickled cabbages. At that time, the ingredients for the hot pot were relatively simple, just a few things. The restaurant had some seafood and the like, and eating at home you could just have meat and vegetables to fill you up.

Uncle Ge brought the carbon machine and all the men in the Li family came. After Li Mantun went over to take a look, he felt that everything needed to be redone, including the floor, walls, windows, and doors. They were in the business of cooking, so cleanliness was the most important thing.

Sister Liu stewed some bone soup as the base to make the hot pot taste more delicious.

Several young men were watching eagerly. They had heard of eating from a hot pot, but had never eaten it!

Wu Zhiqiu bought about ten pounds of beef and mutton, but fearing that it was not enough, he also made a pot of frozen pork at home.

Everyone was not polite and started eating.
