"You brat, I can't be bothered with you, Sixth Uncle." Du Liu hurriedly tucked his tail between his legs and ran away.

Laughter erupted in the courtyard.

Du Ming said, "Pengzi, the village chief isn't a bad person, he just has a loose tongue. Don't be angry with him."

"You must be Uncle Du Ming. Congratulations on the birth of your son," Wang Peng said with a smile. "I've dealt with him before and know he's not a bad person."

"That's good." Du Ming was happy.

Du Geda pulled out an IOU. "You always surprise me. If you ever have nowhere to stay, come stay with me."

Wang Peng tore up the IOU and put it in his pocket.

"Uncle Du, I've rented a small courtyard in the county."

"However, the village chief has a point. If a minor writes an IOU, it is likely invalid if the parents do not acknowledge it."

"You must never accept IOUs from children again."

Du Geda waved his hand, "I'm good at judging people, you're not that kind of person."

He pointed at the eggs in Li Fang's hand and said, "If you dare to be so polite next time, I won't let you in."

"Okay, I'll do it again next time." Wang Peng nodded.

Everyone was amused, and the Du family invited the siblings inside to talk.

The men chatted in the living room, while Li Fang went to the bedroom to keep Du Lei's mother company and hold Du Lei's little brother.

She likes children.

Wang Peng shared his experiences during this period, leaving the three generations of the family stunned.

"You're a dragon among men." Du Geda gave him a thumbs up. "Selling fried rice is fine, but the school food must be terrible."

"Lei Zi, you should help Wang Peng more in the future." Du Ming hoped the two brothers would become good friends.

"Don't worry, Uncle Du, we will definitely help each other," Wang Peng said.

He also wanted to recognize Du Lei as his brother.

Just then, Du Liu arrived carrying two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

"Comrades, cow dung doesn't taste good, let's eat this instead."

"Haha." Laughter rang out from inside the room.

Du Liu, thick-skinned, didn't take it to heart.

"child!"

"I've heard about your situation. How about you consider moving your household registration to Duzhuang?"

"When you get into Peking University or Tsinghua University in the future, I, the village chief, will also benefit from it."

He stared at Wang Peng.

Wang Peng was taken aback, then laughed and said, "If I can't find a place to stay after I get into Tsinghua or Peking University, I'll come and bother you again."

"Good lad, it's settled then." Du Liu said in a deep voice.
