It was expected that I wouldn't get a satisfactory answer from the old man, so I wasn't too disappointed.
Seeing that the old man was not in good spirits, Cheng Shaolin helped him to his room to rest.
"The answer is now obvious: when will I leave?"
After the old man fell asleep, everyone gathered in the living room to talk and drink tea.
"As soon as possible."
Since the decision has already been made, there's no need to drag it out.
Whether you leave early or late, it's all the same, so why hesitate?
"Alright, let's settle this matter and then make plans for it."
Yu Yanbin was referring to the Cheng family matter.
Cheng Shaolin understood and nodded in agreement.
No one else had any objections; basically, no one objected to anything that Yu Yanbin and Cheng Shaolin decided.
"Xiaoxiao, don't cook too many oily or greasy dishes tonight. Try to keep it light."
Cheng Shaolin was also worried that the old man might get sick from eating so much oily food all of a long time.
Li Xiao chuckled softly, "You forgot, there are still dumplings we haven't eaten yet."
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that they seemed to have forgotten something.
"Oh, I mean there's something I can't remember."
"Haha, that's right, I ate too much at lunch and forgot about this."
Everyone laughed.
"Okay, we'll have dumplings later, and just a couple of other dishes will do."
Li Xiao nodded, "Okay."
Li Xiao then started thinking about what ingredients to prepare later.
People are casually chatting and drinking tea and eating melon seeds in this room, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
The sky was overcast outside, and a cold wind was still blowing, bringing a chill to the air.
None of this affects the indoor environment; the room is warm, not cold.
There were two stoves burning inside, so the temperature was still quite high.
Looking at the frozen world outside the window, Cheng Shaolin had an idea in his mind.
That's good, it brings peace and tranquility to the room.
The old man didn't sleep for long; he woke up in less than two hours.
When Cheng Shaolin noticed that the old man had woken up, he quickly helped him up.
"Grandpa, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"
The old man felt especially comfortable being cared for by his grandson.
"I feel fine, nothing's bothering me."
"That's good."
When the old man arrived in the living room, everyone asked him questions with great eagerness.
"Okay, I'm fine, don't worry."
"Oh, that's good."
"Please sit down, don't stand."
The old man seemed to have no recollection of what he had said at noon, behaving like an ordinary old man from a typical family.
Nobody took it to heart; if they didn't remember, they didn't remember.
Cheng Shaolin didn't take the old man home until after they had eaten dumplings that evening.
Everyone enjoyed the dumplings very much.
There are several kinds of fillings for the dumplings, and the portions are generous; you can eat until you're stuffed.
Even the old man ate more than 20, and only put down his chopsticks when he was still not satisfied.
There were about 500 dumplings, and they were all eaten up in the end.
Li Xiao and Tian Tian only ate about 10, and the most they ate was about 20. The men finished the rest.
It's really shocking.
They cooked pot after pot and ate batch after batch; the scene was truly touching.
The old man laughed heartily on the side, repeatedly saying, "Being able to eat is good; being able to eat is a blessing."
Of course, but who can afford it now?
If it weren't for Li Xiao, they wouldn't be eating like this.
After a hearty meal of dumplings, Cheng Shaolin helped the old man slowly walk back.
"Sir, please drive carefully on your way."
"Alright, alright. You can go in now, go back."
The old man waved to them and, supported by Cheng Shaolin, slowly disappeared into the night.
After watching the people leave, Cheng Feiyue led everyone upstairs and back to their room.
Cheng Shaolin returned an hour later.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Cheng Feiyue asked as soon as he saw Cheng Shaolin return.
"It's okay. I'm fine."
Cheng Feiyue nodded, "Okay, then."
"Say what you mean?"
Cheng Shaolin shook his head. "No, we just chatted about things at the base, nothing else."
"Then let's prepare to leave."
Yu Yanbin suddenly said.
Cheng Shaolin looked up at him and said, "Go find Yan Bin tomorrow and see if they've gone back. If they haven't, then we can stay with them and have some company."
"Any news?" Yu Yanbin asked.
"I've heard that they went out on a mission. I'll ask them tomorrow."
"good."
"I'll go tomorrow."
Shao Jie said.
Cheng Shaolin nodded: "Okay, I'll inquire about it tomorrow."
Shao Jie nodded in agreement.
…………
The matter had been settled, and the next day Shao Jie returned with information about the team that had come from Yingzhou.
"They haven't left yet, but they're frequently on missions."
Shao Jie took a sip of hot water; to be honest, it was still a bit cold outside.
"So they're not at the base now?"
"Okay." Shao Jie responded and ran to the stove to warm himself by the fire.
"Ah, Yingzhou was better back then."
Cheng Feiyue listened with a puzzled look and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shao Jie smiled and glanced at Cheng Feiyue, saying, "We're staying in a villa over there. They have a fireplace inside, which is much better than this stove, making it much more convenient to warm ourselves."
Cheng Feiyue laughed, "Oh, that's good. Alas, it's a pity that there are villas here, but we haven't moved in yet."
Shao Jie laughed.
"That's alright, it's not like we're not coming back. We can stay here again later, the house isn't going anywhere."
"Haha, you're right. That's right, I'll come back to live here from now on."
