After Zhao Qinglan and the others finished washing up, the food was served one after another.
Because there were many of them, they were seated at two large tables.
As expected of the famous chef they hired, every dish on the table was delicious.
Although the food on the train wasn't bad, it would only last a couple of days. Now that we've come across this delicious food, even if Erwa isn't a big foodie, he's still very satisfied with the meal.
Sun Guangming and his three nephews-in-law drank some wine together, and Mrs. Sun also opened a bottle of very good red wine to share with her sister and nieces.
"This red wine, drinking a little occasionally, is said to be good for your health."
After finishing their meal, Zhao Qinglan, concerned about Grandpa Dou, suggested that her family go out for a while.
"Let the driver take you there," Mrs. Sun said.
Zhang Yu dropped Zhao Qinglan and the others off and then went home, not wanting to disturb their family's lively celebration.
There are two cars parked outside now.
Zhao Qinglan couldn't refuse her aunt's kindness, and besides, it was the Lunar New Year, so there were fewer taxis available, and she didn't want her children to wait for the bus in the cold.
Both drivers had already eaten and said they would take them there, so they immediately got dressed and got up.
Zhao Qinglan had intended to go shopping, but her aunt led her directly to the storage room.
"There's plenty of stuff here, just pick a few things and take them with you. We don't even know if the shops outside will be open."
Zhao Qinglan didn't know how to thank her aunt, who was always so kind to her. She could only think about how to take good care of her aunt in the future.
After putting their belongings in the trunk, the family got into the car and set off.
Old Master Dou looked at the three people in front of him with a grim expression.
"If you bring this up again, you'd better leave now. You're not welcome here."
“Grandpa, you’re getting older and older. Who knows, one day you might suddenly be unable to walk and need someone to take care of you. Look at those ungrateful wretches, where are they? In the end, it’s still our own family who will take care of you.”
"Are you cursing me?" Old Master Dou's chest heaved violently with anger.
How could Qinglan and Li Huai do that? He's used to living in the capital and hasn't wanted to bother the two kids, but they've sent him a lot of things regularly.
He knows perfectly well who treats him well, and besides, this courtyard never belonged to him.
Who would have thought that his life would become increasingly turbulent because of this courtyard?
Sun Guangming and Zhao Qingju both remembered Zhao Qinglan's instructions and would come over from time to time to check on the old man or show their concern.
The old man only ever reported good news and never bad.
“Uncle, we’re just concerned about you,” the middle-aged woman said.
The young man standing nearby grew impatient and walked out.
The middle-aged woman quickly chased after him. "Xiao Zhuo, where are you going?" She grabbed her son at the front door.
"Mom, I finally got a few days off, are we just going to waste our time with this old geezer every day?" the young man said impatiently.
"Are you stupid? If you don't appease him, where will you get a house for your wedding? Look at this yard, don't you like it?"
I quite like the courtyard.
"But he won't listen to reason or pressure."
“Just you wait. Once he kicks the bucket, he'll be childless and grandchildrenless. We live closest to him, so this yard will be ours.”
"Mom, you're not trying to harm someone, are you?" the young man exclaimed.
When Zhao Qinglan and her group arrived at the alley entrance, they sent the two cars back first and walked in. As soon as they were outside the door, they heard these few words, and her expression immediately turned sour.
The eldest child pushed open the door and went inside.
Because they were standing right behind the door, the mother and son were almost hit by it.
"Who is it? I didn't know there were people inside," Xiao Zhuo said angrily.
"Do I have to be careful when I enter my own home?" Zhao Qinglan sneered as she stepped in.
After staring at the middle-aged woman for a while, the eldest child approached his mother. "Mom, this person came here last year."
Zhao Qinglan finally remembered that this was a distant relative of Grandpa Dou.
Just as she was about to question why this person had come again, she heard a gasp from inside the house.
"Uncle, Uncle, don't scare me!"
Li Huai and Da Wa were the first to run into the house.
As soon as they entered, they saw the old man lying there unconscious, with a middle-aged man anxiously calling out to him.
Not knowing what was wrong with the old man, Li Huai, who knew some common sense, did not dare to move the old man immediately, but stepped forward to gently examine him.
Seeing the old man like this, Zhao Qinglan glared angrily at the Dou family members.
"If anything happens to Grandpa Dou, I'll never forgive you."
"Who are you trying to scare? He fainted on his own, what does that have to do with us?" Xiao Zhu shouted.
The eldest son stepped forward and pinned the man against the wall, grabbing his neck and snarling, "Try yelling at my mother again."
"Xiaoduo, go make a call quickly, Erwa, go find a car." Zhao Qinglan didn't have time to argue with these people for the time being, so she could only give the order quickly.
The children immediately ran outside.
Sanwa silently stood in front of them, looking worriedly at Old Master Dou lying there.
Fortunately, Da Wa's actions also frightened the Dou family of three, and now none of them dared to utter a sound.
Erwa quickly ran back. "Mom, our car is still here." It turned out that Zhao Qinglan had told the two cars to go back first, but the two drivers discussed it and decided not to leave, so they waited outside.
At this time, Li Huai also performed a basic examination on the old man. He was still breathing, but he was afraid that it was another acute illness.
"Big brother, you and I will gently lift the old man later."
"Wait a minute." Zhao Qinglan immediately went out to find something.
