After everyone entered the space, Lin Qing led them to the restaurant.

Then he and Gu Nanxun went into the kitchen together and cooked a few dishes using a stir-fry machine.

Soon, the restaurant was filled with a sumptuous feast, its aroma filling the air and making mouths water.

Lin Qing smiled and said, "I don't know. Uncle Bai Li is coming back today, so we can only make do for now. I'll cook a proper meal next weekend to celebrate for Uncle Bai Li."

"It's already a very generous meal. The food made by the cooking machine is also delicious, no worse than what you get in a five-star hotel."

Looking at the food in front of him, Bai Li's eyes lit up with a wider smile, and his expression softened.

"Alright, let's eat! I'm starving!"

Gu Nianqing's eyes lit up as he looked at the table full of delicious food. He watched the adults talking together but not touching their chopsticks, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Bai Li smiled and ruffled Gu Nianqing's hair, then placed a piece of boiled shrimp on his plate and said.

"Father, eat some too!" Gu Nianqing returned the favor by placing a piece of braised pork rib on Bai Li's plate.

"Eat this for free!"

When Zhao Jinxiang saw Bai Li start eating, he hurriedly sat down next to Bai Li and began to keep putting food on his plate, his face still beaming with a happy smile.

"Don't keep putting food on my plate. You haven't eaten either, have you? Hurry up and eat!"

Seeing that Zhao Jinxiang kept putting food on his plate, Bai Li also picked up a piece of steamed fish and put it in Zhao Jinxiang's bowl, saying with a smile.

"Mmm, delicious!"

Zhao Jinxiang ate the fish happily, a lovesick smile on his face.

Seeing this, Bai Li couldn't help but turn his head to the side, but the smile on his lips grew even wider.

The group ate and chatted in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Zhao Jinxiang would occasionally put food on Bai Li's plate, his eyes full of doting affection. Bai Li didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she felt very warm and fuzzy inside.

After dinner, everyone went to the living room, where Lin Qing brewed a pot of Pu'er tea and served it to everyone.

"Uncle Bai Li, what are your plans for the future?" Lin Qing asked while sipping her tea.

Bai Li thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any specific plans yet. I want to take a break first. I think the villa I stayed at before was quite nice, and I want to rest there for a while."

"It's really nice over there, the spiritual energy is abundant! Father is resting well there!"

Gu Nianqing agreed upon hearing this.

"Bai Bai, aren't you planning to live with me?"

Upon hearing Bai Li say that he wanted to stay at the mountain villa, Zhao Jinxiang said with a wronged expression.

"I don't have an identity right now, so it's inconvenient for me to stay here with you. Besides, I think the environment over there is quite nice, and I really like it there. Although I can't live here with you, you can live over there with me!"

Seeing Zhao Jinxiang's aggrieved expression, Bai Li reached out and patted Zhao Jinxiang's head, speaking gently.

"Okay, I'll stay over there with you!"

Upon hearing that Bai Li didn't want to live with him, Zhao Jinxiang immediately said happily.

"Since Uncle Bai Li plans to stay there for a while, how about Uncle Bai Li does me a favor?"

Suddenly, Gu Nanxun spoke.

"What kind of help?"

Bai Li asked with a curious expression.

Lin Qing, Zhao Jinxiang, and the others all turned their gazes toward Gu Nanxun, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"I recently bought the mountain next to the back of this resort, and I also bought the land use rights to the land at the foot of the mountain. I want to build a hot spring resort on that land, but I've been quite busy lately and haven't had the time to manage it. So I'd like to trouble Uncle Bai Li to help take care of it!"

Gu Nanxun said.

"So you're planning to build a hot spring resort on that land! Leave a room for your uncle when you build it."

After listening to Gu Nanxun's words, Zhao Jinxiang suddenly realized that the land Gu Nanxun had asked him to help him acquire not long ago was for building a hot spring resort.

"Sure, I'm free anyway!"

Bai Li smiled and agreed, then looked at Zhao Jinxiang and said, "Jinxiang, why don't we build a villa here too? I quite like this place!"

"Uncle, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Our resort has more than 20 courtyards! Uncle, just choose one."

Lin Qing said with a smile.

"Alright, then your Uncle Bai Li and I won't stand on ceremony."

While Bai Li was still hesitating, Zhao Jinxiang immediately agreed.

Seeing that Zhao Jinxiang had agreed, Bai Li didn't say anything more and said with a smile, "Okay, then I won't be polite."

"Don't be shy, this place is so big that even Nanxun and I can't fit it all in. It'll be more lively with more people!"

Lin Qing said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, leaving the space to the two young couples who had been reunited after a long separation.

The next day, after Gu Nanxun led his team to erect the signal tower near Xiaotangshan, he found a construction team and began construction according to the design drawings he had prepared in advance.

During this time, Bai Li spent his time resting at the villa. When he had nothing to do, he would check on the construction progress, and afterwards he would either go fishing or plant flowers. His days were incredibly leisurely.

Although Zhao Jinxiang had to travel back and forth between Xiaotangshan and his workplace, he was extremely happy.

The day after Bai Li returned, Zhao Jinxiang got Bai Li's ID card.

During this time, besides work and visiting Bai Li at the mountain villa, Zhao Jinxiang was also quietly processing his retirement.

...

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and all the fruit on the back mountain of Xiaotangshan has been picked.

"Sister Xiang Hong, I've finished picking all the fruit here. Do you want to sell it?"

That day, Lin Qing received a call from Bai Li's uncle, who said that after all the fruit was picked, he couldn't wait to call Lu Xianghong. She remembered that Lu Xianghong and the others had said they would help her sell the fruit.

"Have you finished picking them? Didn't you say you wanted us to help you pick them?"

On the phone, Lu Xianghong spoke with a reproachful expression.

"That's what I originally said, but everyone's been so busy lately, I haven't even had time myself, let alone you guys. So I asked someone to help me pick them, and we just finished picking them yesterday."

Lin Qing explained with a smile.

"Okay, tomorrow is the weekend, and I don't have many clothes left. I can go back to selling fruit!"

Lu Xianghong said happily.

"Okay, then let's go to Xiaotangshan to pick up fruit together tomorrow. Sister Xiang Hong, you go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to Feng Jiao!"

Lin Qing hung up the phone after speaking, and then called Xu Fengjiao.

Everyone agreed on a departure time for the next day.

Of course, besides Lu Xianghong and Xu Fengjiao's third brother, Lin Qing also notified his second sister-in-law, Wang Sufen. However, his second sister-in-law said that the garment factory was too busy, so she would not get involved in selling fruit.
