Xu Wu was pulling a cart loaded with tall tree stumps and trunks.

Zhuzi followed his grandfather and moved the firewood on the cart little by little to the corner and stacked them neatly together.

There were people talking and laughing in front of the door.

Qiao Jiangxin likes this kind of atmosphere at home very much.

"Okay, it's almost time. I'll go back first." Xu Wu clapped his hands and said after he stacked all the firewood on the cart.

Qiao Youfu said quickly, "Uncle Xu, why are you in such a hurry? You also said it's getting late. You've been busy with us all day. There's a room at home. You can just live in the same room with Zhuzi."

Xu Wu waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, there's a lot of work to do at home, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't check on the crops in the fields for a day."

Zhuzi is being raised by the Qiao family, and his wife is also helping out here, so why would he want to stay here?

Will my daughter-in-law remarry and bring three children with her?

The Qiao family has two older grandparents. Even if the current grandparents don’t come around much, they will still talk about Xiaoxue behind her back.

The old woman wanted to stay here to help, but he let it go and didn't want to cause trouble for Xiaoxue.

"Forget it, I'll come back when I have time. It's getting late, and I can go back and work in the fields."

Xu Wu said this, patted the dust off his hands and prepared to leave.

Qiao Youfu quickly went up to him and pulled him, "Uncle, you've been working with us for a whole day. Even if you don't want to stay overnight, you should at least have dinner, right?"

Qiao Youcai also advised, "Yes, yes, it's Shuanzi and Huahua's full moon, and there's food at home. Let's have a couple of drinks tonight, and after dinner, let my eldest brother take you home on his bike."

"Dad, just listen to Youfu, and stay with Zhuzi for a while." Qin Xue leaned against the door while holding a child.

Zhuzi also stepped forward and grabbed Grandpa's hand, "Grandpa, let's eat first before we go."

Liao Fuzhen said with a smile, "Old man, everyone is having fun now, so we don't care about this moment anymore."

Xu Wu nodded, and he put one hand on Zhuzi's shoulder, "Hey, Grandpa, wait until you finish your meal before you leave."

There was not much food left from lunch, so Liao Fuzhen killed a fat chicken in the evening.

The chicken that Xu Wu brought over laid eggs, so he couldn't bear to kill it. The one he killed was a chicken that his family had raised in advance to provide Qin Xue with a helping hand during her confinement.

Liao Fuzhen first added a little bit of salt. After stewing, she picked out some meat for Qin Xue, took out two chicken legs, and made a bowl of soup before adding salt to the pot.

"Come here, this bowl is Xiaoxue's soup, light and refreshing." Liao Fuzhen placed the large soup bowl of Qin Xue's soup in front of her.

Qin Xue said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm out of confinement now. I'll just eat with everyone else from now on. Please forgive me."

Liao Fuzhen said, "What's the trouble? It's just a simple matter. Don't worry, I added salt, so it won't taste bad. The child is breastfeeding, so be obedient."

As she spoke, she placed another small bowl in front of Liu Afang, which contained a chicken leg and half a bowl of soup. "This is for Jiang Mu. It's light and has been stewed for quite a long time. It should be cooked through. Jiang Mu should also learn how to eat it."

Everyone sat down and started eating. Qin Xue picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat. When she turned around, she saw a chicken drumstick in the bowl.

"Why are there chicken legs here? I'm such a grown-up, and you're still giving me thighs."

She looked up and saw Jiang Mu chewing on a chicken leg, so she took the leg out and said, "Save it for Jiang Mu."

Qiao Youcai said, "Sister-in-law, why keep it? It's still hot today. Eat it while it's fresh. You can kill it when you want to eat more. My brother and I will run away and we will have everything."

Qin Xue refused to eat. She looked at Zhuzi and then at Qiao Jiangxin.

He passed the chicken leg to Qiao Jiangxin, "Come here, Jiangxin, I'll give it to you. It's not easy to come back from this ancient city."

"Hey, I'm already this old, why would I want to eat chicken legs? I've been to restaurants in my hometown, and I've eaten duck legs and lamb legs, let alone chicken legs."

Qiao Jiangxin said as she picked up the chicken leg and put it into Zhuzi's bowl. "Zhuzi, eat it. Zhuzi and Jiangmu are the youngest."

Zhuzi looked up at Qin Xue.

Qiao Jiangxin said in a joking tone, "Look at what your mother is doing, eat quickly, you are the older brother, if you don't eat now, Shuanzi and Huahua will be able to eat it later, and you and Jiangmu will have no share, hahaha~"

Qin Xue also smiled and said, "Xiao, just eat what your sister gives you."

Liao Fuzhen smiled and touched Zhuzi's head, "Thank you, sister."

Zhuzi looked up and said, "Thank you, sister."
