Old Man He awkwardly withdrew his hand. Usually, when his daughter wasn't around, he would restrain himself and only drink a small cup each day.

Seeing such a big meal today made me crave alcohol again, and I forgot that my daughter is in charge of keeping track of my drinking.

"Hello, Grandpa, I'm Weiwei." He Caiwei bowed to the old man as soon as she came out.

"Good, good, good, my little darling. That little pink dumpling you were when you were born has grown so tall! I only saw you briefly when you were born and then left. I never imagined my little darling would grow up to be so adorable. You look just like your mother when she was little. Everyone here calls you Grandpa, so you can call me Grandpa too, little darling." The old man looked at the little pink dumpling he had cleaned up, his eyes filled with tears.

If only his grandmother could see this, she would see how much her granddaughter resembles her daughter when she was little.

"Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa. Grandpa, we won't leave anymore, we'll stay here and keep you company." He Caiwei thought to herself that since they had already come here and the plot had been changed, it shouldn't be able to be reversed again.

Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, this place should be the first place to open up and reform. Just thinking about it made her a little excited. In the future, she would hoard more land and become a landlady, living a carefree and leisurely life.

"Come on, little darling, are you hungry? Eat first, and after you finish eating, Grandpa will take you outside for a stroll and buy some snacks." The old man happily waved his hand, beckoning the little dumpling to come and eat.

Today, the feast they ordered was quite large. Seeing this huge table full of food, I suddenly realized that there are only three people in their family.

This huge feast would take the three of them several days to finish. Why did you blurt out something like that just now?

It would be a waste not to eat all this food, but I can't eat it all. What should I do?

"Dad, why do you look like that? And what's with all this food? How can the three of us possibly finish it all?" He Yuping noticed her father's unusual expression and then looked at the table full of food before realizing why he was making such a face.

It's really ridiculous. This banquet was prepared according to the standard of eighteen dishes and two soups. I don't know if her father was too concerned about saving face, or if the innkeeper was deliberately trying to rip off his father.

But it's the same at every restaurant; once the meal is paid for, it can't be refunded. There was no other way but to bite the bullet and eat it.

"Mother, come and try this meat, it's so delicious." He Yuping was still looking at the dishes on the table with a worried expression, while the grandfather and grandson had already started eating.

Little He Caiwei ate with gusto, her mouth drooling. The food was truly delicious; the soup was fresh and flavorful, the braised pork was rich in color, and the steamed lobster retained its original flavor. At least ten of the eighteen dishes were seafood. Living by the sea definitely makes a difference. They had only just arrived and were already enjoying seafood.

"Grandpa, with so much seafood, how much does this feast cost?" He Caiwei was particularly curious about how much it would cost to prepare so many dishes. If it was relatively inexpensive, then he could prepare some more often in the future, and store any leftovers in his space so he could have them whenever he wanted.

Once public-private partnerships are implemented, such delicious food will no longer be available. If the era of ration coupons arrives, she will become as common as a cabbage.

No, she still needs to put some in her space first. She doesn't want to shortchange herself, and besides, seafood is her favorite food. Living by the sea was a wish she had in her past life.

"That brat from Fuyunlou ripped me off. I originally ordered a banquet with eight dishes and a soup, but he doubled the price. The eight-dish-and-soup banquet only costs twelve silver dollars, but this one costs twenty-five." Old Man He felt a pang of heartache. He would have to find a chance to get his money back next time.

"Sweetie, once you've rested enough, Grandpa will take you to a restaurant. Their old duck soup is delicious, and their fruitwood-grilled chicken is also a specialty." Old Man He blinked as he mentioned the fruitwood-grilled chicken, and He Caiwei couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Dad, aren't you eating? Stop drooling. You're making my daughter cry. You have to comfort her. I won't take responsibility." He Yuping looked at the grandfather and granddaughter's greedy expressions with some speechlessness.

They're still eating, and they're already thinking about things they don't have. They don't even consider how big their stomachs are or whether they can hold that much food.

"No, sweetie, after we finish eating, Grandpa will take you out for a walk to digest. Daughter, I told Agui not to come over this afternoon. You can rest in peace, and the two of us will go out for a stroll." The old man wanted to take his granddaughter out to show off, so that the neighbors wouldn't always say he was a lonely old man.

"Okay, okay, go ahead, but don't stay out too late." He Yuping had no objections. She was tired after traveling for so many days, and she needed to go back to rest after dinner.

Let's think about how to live our lives from now on after she wakes up.

Led by her grandfather, He Caiwei strolled around the streets to the left and right of where they lived, and she couldn't help but admire her grandfather's good taste.

The street where his grandfather now lives is the busiest among the surrounding streets, and the rent for a shop there is thirty silver dollars a month, which is really expensive.

However, there are textile factories, garment factories, cotton mills, shoe factories, battery factories, smelters, grain bureaus, public security bureaus, and housing management bureaus nearby. The daily pedestrian traffic here is the highest among the surrounding streets.

The grandfather and grandson had only been out for a short while when they encountered the factory's closing time. A large group of people came out of the factory in a hurry. Those who were rushing home were going to cook, while there were also quite a few people leisurely looking for something to eat on the street.

The grandfather and grandson strolled over to the police station. The police station doesn't take a lunch break, and the old man was already quite familiar with the area.

As soon as she stepped into the police station, she chatted with the old man guarding the gate for a while before being led into the service hall.

"Hey, Mr. He, what brings you here today? Would you like a cup of tea?" A young man in his early twenties, sitting behind the desk, greeted Mr. He as soon as he saw him.

He Caiwei was small and short, and was completely hidden by the old man. The young staff member didn't even notice the little girl's presence.

"Oh, it's Officer Liu. Is it your turn to be on duty at noon today? I came to inquire about settling down a few days ago, didn't I? My daughter and the others arrived today, so I thought I'd get this done first. My documents are here; could you help me see how to proceed?"

"Oh, Comrade He is here? Should it be registered under your name? Or do you need a different household registration book?" Officer Liu took the old man's certificate, opened it, looked at it, and asked the old man.

"The shop next door is registered under my daughter's name, and my daughter and granddaughter will have a separate household registration." The old man had planned this out when he bought the house.

If you have a house here, you can register your household registration directly under the house. That's how it was when he first came here. The household registration system isn't that strict now.

I bought two houses, one for my daughter to register her household registration, and the shop can be rented out quickly to recoup the investment, so it's a good business.

"I understand. Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon." He Caiwei stood behind and clicked her tongue in amazement. The speed and efficiency of things these days are really high. It only took ten minutes to get the freshly issued household registration booklet.
