Liu Jin turned around and sniffed sadly, then turned back and smiled at Jiang Hao, "Okay, then Auntie will bring you dumplings when she comes to see you in the evening."

"Thank you, Auntie."

Jiang Hao was very polite. He watched them leave and even gave Liu Jin a sweet smile when she closed the door.

It is incredible that a scoundrel like Jiang Chao could give birth to such a well-behaved son. Life is truly unpredictable.

"Sister, where are we going next?" Jiang Xiaoluo asked.

Liu Jin pondered for a moment, "Let Huanyi take you out for a walk this afternoon. I'll go back and make dumplings for this kid. After going through the gates of hell, I have to let him eat dumplings as he wishes."

"You can't wrap it all by yourself, I'll help you."

Jiang Xiaoluo handed Qiqi to Zhao Tiezhu and said, "You stay with your daughter today."

"no problem."

Zhao Tiezhu picked up Qiqi, but Qiqi didn't want to be separated from her mother. When she learned that Jiang Xiaoluo was going to make dumplings for her brother who had just been in the ward, Qiqi clamored to join in.

When Liu Huanyi arrived, they were already discussing what filling to use for the dumplings.

"Corn and pork, it's fragrant and delicious. I'll go buy some pork belly later."

Liu Huanyi laughed when he heard this. "Did you come all the way here to eat dumplings? If you want to eat dumplings, why don't you just go to the restaurant and eat them?"

"It's not us who want to eat it, it's Jiang Hao who wants to eat it." Liu Jin touched Liu Huanyi's head, "Can mom go to your place to make dumplings for him?"

After all, Jiang Hao is Jiang Chao's later son, and Liu Jin is worried that her daughter will not agree. If Liu Huanyi really does not agree, she will find another way.

But Liu Huanyi said, "Of course, I want to eat dumplings too."

"Then pack more and eat together."

Liu Jin happily took Liu Huanyi's arm, and the group headed towards the house that Liu Huanyi rented.

When the car was about to reach Liu Huanyi's house, Zhao Tiezhu saw a hotel on the side of the road and quickly asked the driver to stop.

"I'll take my luggage to the hotel and get a room. There's not enough room for so many of us. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Zhao Tiezhu wanted to take Qiqi away to prevent her from interfering with Jiang Xiaoluo, but Qiqi refused.

Qiqi hugged Jiang Xiaoluo's neck and refused to let go. "I won't go. I want to be with my mom!"

"Okay, okay, you go with mom. Not dad." Jiang Xiaoluo rolled up the car window and waved to Zhao Tiezhu, "Go ahead. If you can't find the way, call us."

The driver continued driving forward and arrived at the downstairs of Liu Huanyi's house. Liu Jin paid the fare before opening the door for them.

Liu Jin left a few pieces of clothes here last time, so this time Liu Jin didn't bring much luggage. As soon as he put his things down, he and Jiang Xiaoluo went to the nearby vegetable market to buy vegetables.

"We have to hurry and buy corn and pork, otherwise the lunch market will be gone soon."

Jiang Xiaoluo also picked up her wallet and said, "Yes, let's go. Qiqi, the floor of the vegetable market is too dirty, don't go, you and your sister stay home."

Qiqi said disappointedly, "Oh."

"Mom, can you find a vegetable market nearby?" Liu Huanyi scratched her head. She had lived here for so long and she didn't know there was a vegetable market nearby.

Liu Jin smiled cheerfully, "If you can't find it, why don't you ask? What is the purpose of having a mouth? Isn't it to ask questions?"

The two of them left in a cool manner, leaving Liu Huanyi and Qiqi staring at each other.

"Sister, I want to watch TV." Qiqi pointed at the remote control and said in a low voice.

Liu Huanyi glanced at the time. Xing Zhao and the others should be upstairs at this time. She had to go up and check on their progress.

I have been concentrating on Jiang Hao's surgery these past two days and have neglected a lot of my own things.

"You can't look at it now. Come upstairs with me."

Qiqi glanced at the TV reluctantly and followed Liu Huanyi upstairs silently.

Xing Zhao and Hu Die were indeed there, but Wei Zhou was nowhere to be seen.

She didn't think much about it, but just asked Xing Zhao, "Have you completed the data collection that I asked you to do last week?"

"It's done."

Xing Zhao clicked his mouse a few times and said, "Boss, please check your email. I have already sent it."

Liu Huanyi motioned Qiqi to sit on the sofa, while she checked the data collection submitted by Xing Zhao on the computer.

"Wow, Boss, is this your child? How come she is so beautiful?"

Xing Zhao's joke successfully earned a roll of the eyes from Hu Die, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Can't you see that this child is not much younger than the eldest brother? She must be the eldest brother's cousin or something like that."

"That's about right."

Liu Huanyi's answer was vague, and he only focused on the data.

Qiqi looked at them with her round eyes. Xing Zhao couldn't let go of her rosy cheeks and always wanted to find an opportunity to pinch her face.

Just when he was about to succeed, he was suddenly slapped away by Hu Die.

"Don't be naughty!" Hu Die glared at him and handed Qiqi a lollipop, "Little sister, this is for you."

"Thank you, sister."

Qiqi happily accepted the lollipop, and with Liu Huanyi's permission, she opened it and ate it on the spot.

"She doesn't look like the eldest brother's sister. The eldest brother is cold and frosty, how could he have such a soft and cute sister?"

Hu Die shook her head and stretched out a finger to shake it.

"You don't understand. This is called contrast. Maybe the eldest was also this cute, fair and tender when he was still a child."

Xing Zhao imagined the scene and suddenly felt that it might really be the case.

After Liu Huanyi finished looking at the data, she happened to hear the conversation between Liu Jin and Jiang Xiaoluo downstairs. She turned off the computer and took Qiqi out.

Before leaving, she casually asked, "Why didn't Wei Zhou come today?"

"He, he was trapped in love and drank too much."

A hint of displeasure flashed across Liu Huanyi's eyes, but he said nothing in the end.

"Okay. I'm leaving now. You two should go home early after work. I don't have time to take you to dinner today. So take care of it yourselves."

"Yes, Boss."

After sending Liu Huanyi away, Hu Die immediately scolded Xing Zhao: "Why did you deliberately say that to the boss? The boss must be very unhappy to hear it."

Xing Zhao felt a little aggrieved, "But I am telling the truth. Wei Zhou really doesn't want to come because he is trapped in love."

"You—idiot!"

Hu Die glared at him unhappily and sat at her seat typing furiously on the keyboard, not wanting to pay any attention to Xing Zhao.

When Liu Huanyi and Qiqi returned to the house, Liu Jin and Jiang Xiaoluo had already entered, followed by Zhao Tiezhu carrying several bags of vegetables.

"Aren't you guys making dumplings? You bought so many things, how many do you plan to make?"

Jiang Xiaoluo smiled and said, "Your mother is afraid that you will be hungry, so she bought some more vegetables and planned to make some wontons, dumplings, buns and the like for you and put them in the refrigerator. You can cook them anytime you are hungry."

Liu Jin found an apron and put it on with ease, "You all go to the living room and wait. Don't stay here. Just wait for the food."

It would be fine if there were two children, but Jiang Xiaoluo didn't have the nerve to let Liu Jin work alone in the kitchen.

"Then we can't just watch you busy in the kitchen alone. Do you have an apron at home? I'll come and help too."
