Brother Lu Jiefang rolled his eyes in dismay, feeling suffocated. Seeing Cui Xiongwei interacting happily with his nephew, Lu Jiefang came up with a plan and deliberately started to make trouble: "My nephew likes you so much, your gift can't be too small."

"That's right, don't take out the ten or twenty dollars. It would be unfair to my potato's lovely smiling face." Lu Yuanchao and his brother shared the same thought and immediately agreed.

Just at this moment, Little Potato grabbed Cui Xiongwei's fingers, cried happily, and put his fingers into his mouth.

Cui Xiongwei felt the little guy's love for him, and his heart melted. He was not as close to Little Potato as his nephews and nieces at home. The fate between people was really wonderful. He and Little Potato had such a deep fate when they met for the first time.

Could it be that Little Potato was his child in the previous life?

Cui Xiongwei's imagination was so wild that he imagined countless life experiences for himself and Little Potato in previous lives. The more he thought about it, the more moved he became, and he almost recognized them as his godchildren on the spot.

"I think that Little Potato might have been my child in his previous life, otherwise why would he like me so much?"

Cui Xiongwei expressed his guess.

The Lu Jiefang brothers sneered in unison, saying disdainfully: "You really know how to flatter yourself. With your tiny body, how could you give birth to a child as pretty as my little potato?"

"I think Little Potato may think you are a woman and wants to eat you!"

Lu Yuanchao's focus is always different from that of others and extremely unique.

But Little Potato really cooperated by arching around Cui Xiongwei and touching him with his little paws. Cui Xiongwei's fair face turned red with shame and he glared at the two brothers in anger.

Ruan Qiqi was laughing as she watched from the side, they said three women make a play, and the play of these three silly girls was even funnier, they could even be performed on the Spring Festival Gala, it was definitely better than 'Making Dumplings'.

She picked up her son and went into the house to feed him. Little Potato ate with a grunt, and his forehead was sweating. After he was full, the little guy wanted to play with Cui Xiongwei again.

"Do you like Uncle Cui so much?"

Ruan Qiqi poked the little guy's face and asked with a smile.

"Yeah..."

Little Potato responded happily, saying that he liked the beautiful aunt and she smelled nice.

Ruan Qiqi returned the little guy to Cui Xiongwei. Lu Desheng and Mo Qiufeng wanted to hold him, but the little guy didn't give them face and only let Cui Xiongwei hold him. Even Xie Taozhi, whom he usually liked, was not able to give him face today.

Cui Xiongwei suddenly felt extremely happy. This feeling of being strongly attached to the cute little cub was happier than being awarded a second-class merit. At this moment, he was willing to do anything for Little Potato!

So, Cui Xiongwei, who was so moved, quietly put all the money he had into the red envelope. He couldn't let Little Potato down.

The thick red envelope was stuffed into Little Potato's red bellyband. The little guy grinned and laughed very happily, with crystal saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth and dripping down his round chin to the ground.

Brother Lu Jiefang also brought a specialty from the southwestern border, a large bag of dried leeches, which Ruan Qiqi asked for in her last letter. The medicine Xie Taozhi took contained dried leeches, but the quality of the dried leeches from the Tanzhou pharmacy was not as good as the ones sent by Lu Jiefang and his friends.

However, these two idiots were too honest and caught so many that Xie Taozhi couldn't finish eating them.

Xiao Duan prepared the meal and set a large table full of it. Lou Yuanfei and his family of three also came, and Mama Jiang naturally followed closely behind.

As soon as everyone sat down, footsteps were heard outside, and a girl's voice: "Dad, are you there?"

It's Mo Heping.

The people in the room were about to toast, but when they heard her voice, they all put down their glasses. Xie Taozhi showed joy on her face and asked in a low voice: "Xiaofeng, is Heping back?"

Mo Qiufeng didn't tell her about his daughter so as not to worry her, so Xie Taozhi has always been concerned about her niece.

"Yes."

Mo Qiufeng asked everyone to continue eating, and he stood up and walked out. Soon he heard the conversation between the father and daughter.

"I went home first and there was no one at home, so I thought you might come here. Did you have dinner at Uncle Lu's house?" Mo Heping asked.

"Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Mo Qiufeng's tone was very flat, and he did not seem happy about his daughter's sudden return.

He had completely seen through his daughter. Deep down, she was just like Yuan Huilan, and she disliked his low position and inability to help them. That was why Mo Heping stayed in Beijing to spend the New Year with Zhang Zhiguo and Yuan Huilan, and only called him to say hello.

Mo Qiufeng was indeed heartbroken at that time. Among his three children, he hardly accompanied Jinsong and Congrong's childhood. But when Mo Heping was born, he had stopped doing underground work, so he spent more time with him.

Therefore, he invested the most affection and time in Mo Heping, but his daughter stabbed him in the back.

"Dad, why aren't you happy that I'm back?"

Mo Heping felt her father's calmness and felt a little panicked, so she started to act like a spoiled child like she did when she was a child. When she was a child, as long as she wanted to act like a spoiled child, her father would agree to any request she made.

"You didn't come back during the summer vacation. Why are you back now? What's the matter?"

Mo Qiufeng's tone remained unchanged. He was not angry, but he was not expecting anything either.

His daughter has grown up and he respects her choice, but his care and love for her will fade with time.

"Mom asked me to come back to give a full-month gift to my second brother's child. I also wanted to come back to see you, Dad. I miss you."

Mo Heping's voice became soft and her eyes were pleading, hoping to get the same response from her father as when she was a child. But she waited for a long time and Mo Qiufeng remained indifferent, and her heart sank.

"Dad, are you blaming me for not coming back for the New Year? I wanted to come back, but something happened at school and I couldn't leave. When I was done with my work, I couldn't buy a train ticket, so... Dad, I will definitely come back to spend the New Year with you this year, really!"

Mo Heping spoke faster and faster. Mo Qiufeng listened quietly without exposing her lies.

This girl has been like this since she was young. Whenever she tells a lie, she will speak faster and faster without her realizing it.

"Let's eat first."

Mo Qiufeng interrupted her, really not wanting to listen to these clumsy lies anymore.

His disappointment towards his daughter deepened.

If she doesn't want to come back, then don't come back. There's no need to cover it up with lies. Although he is not in the capital, he has many old friends in the capital. He had asked these old friends to take care of Mo Heping secretly before, so he is very clear about her every move in the capital.

Mo Heping opened her mouth and wanted to argue again, but when she saw Mo Qiufeng's indifferent expression, she dared not say anything more.

Mo Qiufeng led her into the house and introduced Xie Taozhi.

"Your second aunt."

"Hello, Second Aunt."

Mo Heping was very confused. His father was all alone and had lost all his relatives, so where did the second aunt come from?

Could it be those from other tribes who want to take advantage of us?

"Hey, come and sit down. My niece is so pretty. I heard from your dad that you are studying in college in Beijing?"

Xie Taozhi looked at her niece lovingly, her tone particularly affectionate, and asked Mo Heping to sit next to her.

Mo Heping actually didn't want to sit next to her father. There was no seat next to Mo Qiufeng and he ignored her, so she could only sit next to Xie Taozhi.

"Yes, Second Aunt."

Xie Taozhi wanted to touch her hand, but Mo Heping avoided her. Although she was smiling, her eyes showed distance and disgust.

"Your father also graduated from Beijing University. You and your daughter are both very capable. How long will Heping stay this time?"

Xie Taozhi was stunned for a moment and retracted her hand. She felt that she might have been too abrupt and had scared her niece when they first met. After that, she deliberately kept her distance and did not dare to get too close to Mo Heping.

"If my dad could arrange a flight for me, I would stay a few more days."

Mo Heping made a witty remark, also as a test.

"It can't be arranged, go buy the train ticket yourself." Mo Qiufeng said lightly.

Mo Heping pursed his lips in grievance and whispered, "Uncle Zhang arranged the flight this time."

"Then ask him to arrange a flight back for you."

Mo Qiufeng responded slowly and calmly.

Mo Heping's eyes turned red, and she felt even more aggrieved. During this time in the capital, with Uncle Zhang's care, she was doing well in school and successfully joined the organization. Those people who looked down on her before were now polite to her.

She finally understood what her mother said. If her father could go to Beijing to develop, he would definitely do better than Uncle Zhang, and she wouldn't have to endure the anger of those people before.

But my father had no ambition. No matter how much my mother tried to persuade him, he refused to leave Tanzhou. He stayed in this small place all his life. No wonder my mother wanted to divorce him.

Mo Heping used to feel sorry for her father, but now she completely understands her mother. Her father is really too unmotivated.

Xie Taozhi felt the tense atmosphere between the father and daughter, realized something was wrong, and fell silent.
