The dishes are served and the dumplings are cooked.

The third brother only eats the meat-filled ones and doesn’t touch the vegetables. If he doesn’t eat the meat and eats the vegetables, he would be a fool.

"You have a fan on your tongue, aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

"It's not hot, Dad, you're old now, and your tongue isn't very useful anymore, is it?"

Mancang's eyes widened

"Hehe, Dad is just joking, hurry up and eat." The third child quickly picked up a piece of pork head with chopsticks and gave it to Mancang.

Mancang ate a piece of pork head and drank a sip of wine. The meat was still delicious!

After the family finished their meal, they sat in the main room and chatted. The third brother told them that Ruzhen was coming.

"Mancang, when you go to the village tomorrow, ask the old hunter to help you hunt some wild game, and bring up some fresh vegetables." Now that Yi Ruzhen is here, they have to entertain her warmly. She brought the third brother with her as a business partner, and Yi Liang is her god-relative, so they have to show their kindness to her.

Mancang nodded and said, "Why don't we kill the donkey?"

Wu Zhiqiu...that donkey is now her father's darling, I'm afraid it can't be killed unless Qi Liang takes action personally.

"If my grandpa doesn't agree to kill the donkey, we can kill his two piglets. There is a dish in the south called roast suckling pig, which is made of piglets about that size." The skin was roasted crispy and dipped in some sugar candy. The third brother drooled again just thinking about it.

"You bastard, you won't live for more days. Even piglets will eat you." Mancang said with a frown. He didn't believe that people in the south would eat piglets.

"Dad, it's true. If you don't believe me, ask my grandfather."

"Go tell your grandpa, do you think he will believe it?"

The third brother... forget it, he was afraid of angering grandpa and getting beaten by his uncles.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm at home." The family was talking when Sister Liu's son Cao Jun came in without anyone noticing.

"Oh, Xiaojun is here, come in quickly, your mother hasn't come these days and is not at home." Sister Liu opened a new shop, which is a bit far from the slum. She lives in the shop most of the time and doesn't come often.

Cao Jun is two years older than Xingguo. He is now a small leader and is very mature and stable.

"My mother hasn't been feeling well lately and is at my house. I came here for something."

"What's wrong with Sister Liu?" Wu Zhiqiu asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, I accidentally fell and sprained my waist," Cao Jun said with a smile.

"Then I'll take a look tomorrow." Wu Zhiqiu was still thinking about Sister Liu. The relationship between the two had always been very tense.

"No, it's nothing serious, Auntie. I came here today for something. My mother is planning to sell the house, and she asked me to ask you first."

Wu Zhiqiu was stunned. "Is your mother not coming to live here anymore?"

Cao Jun shook his head. "If she doesn't come, my mother will stay with me in her old age. If she can help us cook, my wife and I will have some free time."

Wu Zhiqiu...I didn't go there when the children were young. Now that they're grown up, why do you want to live with us?

It seems like this never happened in my previous life.

"Is your mother missing you? Why don't you think about it again and leave the house for now?" Wu Zhiqiu advised. If she is unhappy living there, she still has her own home.

"It takes a lot of effort to keep it. I want to sell it. Uncle and aunt, are you willing to buy it?" I asked the neighbors first, and if no one wanted to buy it, I would go out and look for a buyer.

Wu Zhiqiu and Mancang looked at each other and said, "Buy it. We have a large family now and it's quite crowded. I'm just worried that your mother won't be willing to sell it."

"My mom asked me to ask you guys first. The building is clean, the toilets are convenient, and it's a little nicer than the slums."

"Xiaojun, how much do you want to sell it for?" If Sister Liu wanted to sell it, their family would definitely buy it. Now Fenglan and Manman live in the small room owned by Xingguo, Xiaoyu lives in the small room owned by Fengchun, and the third brother lives alone. Occasionally, when Old Man Guan comes over, he sleeps in the same room with him. Dabao and Erbao live in the room owned by the second brother and his family.

The house here is too crowded. Sister Liu’s house has three main rooms, which are very spacious. If I buy it, it will be enough for me to live in.
