"There's no need to worry about that, husband. Thank you very much."

Li Mingqing looked at her clear and bright eyes and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"We two shouldn't say such polite things."

The two looked at each other with smiles on their faces. The sunlight poured into the room through the glass, making their bodies feel warm.

"Mama—mua—"

Sun Jiaxue looked at Niu Niu who was sitting next to her with surprise.

"Brother Mingqing, Niuniu can talk now!"

"Yes, Niuniu, call daddy."

Niuniu looked at him with her big, watery eyes and called out in a baby voice, "Dad——"

"My daughter is awesome. Dad will take you to the market and buy some delicious food for Niuniu."

Sun Jiaxue took out the new cotton-padded jacket she had made for Niu Niu and put it on her. She also wore a warm little hat and scarf, and the family of three went out happily.

Old man Li squatted in the corner, smoking a pipe and basking in the sun.

"Ming Qing, where are you going?"

"Dad, let's go to the market in the next village. Why don't we go together?"

"I won't go. I'll stay at home to watch the door. Your mother is going to the market with Da Niu and the others. Maybe you can meet her there."

Li Mingqing held Niuniu in his arms and whispered, "Grandpa, call me Grandpa—"

Old man Li smiled and asked, "Niuniu can talk now?"

"I just shouted twice at home, startling Jiaxue and me."

“ye——re——”

The little baby voice made old man Li laugh out loud.

"Niuniu is so smart!"

As soon as the three of them walked out of the village, they saw Li Mingli and Zhang Lihua returning with large and small bags on their backs.

"Brother, sister-in-law, are you taking a break today too?"

"Yeah, where are you going?"

"We're going to the market. You guys are here just in time. Let's go and have a look together."

"We won't go. We'll just come to your house for lunch later. We bought a lot of vegetables and two kilograms of meat."

Sun Jiaxue said, "Sister-in-law, mother and second sister-in-law are also going to the market, why don't I stay home and help."

"No, I can do it myself."

Li Mingqing said smoothly, "Thank you for your help, sister-in-law and brother."

"It's okay, go early and come back early."

After Li Mingli and Zhang Lihua left, Sun Jiaxue said, "Brother Mingqing, shouldn't we also invite everyone to our house for a meal? Come to think of it, we've always been the ones to eat at Big Brother's place."

"Really? No?"

"I only remember inviting everyone to dinner during the house-warming party."

Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true.

"Wife, it's okay. We've brought food to mom's house many times to eat. Next time my brother and his family come back, we'll invite them to dinner."

In fact, Zhang Cuihua, Yang Daya and others didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

They would go to the new house whenever they had nothing to do, as it was warm and there were snacks to eat.

What's more, several people felt that they had taken advantage of Li Mingqing a lot.

They would definitely feel embarrassed if I asked them to go out for dinner again.

Such a good day is all thanks to Li Mingqing.
