Everyone was amused by her gluttonous appearance.
"Thank you for your kind words." Wang Peng was amused as well.
He started laughing, but then he couldn't laugh anymore; he thought of his wife from his past life.
If history had followed the path of her previous life, she should be studying at the provincial capital's experimental high school, though she doesn't know which class she would be in.
"Xiao Peng," Chen Qingshu put down his wine glass, "I just went to check the main room. This kind of old main room doesn't keep warm."
The roof is made of reeds and blue tiles, and the beams and rafters are severely corroded, so it definitely needs to be demolished and rebuilt.

“That’s even harder,” Chen Qingshu said. “Even if you know how to build houses, do you have that much time?”
“Distant water can’t quench immediate thirst. Winter will be here in two months. What will we do this winter?” he added.
"Let's not talk about that for now." Chen Xiaojing took out a fountain pen from his pocket. "Wang Peng, congratulations on your housewarming. This fountain pen is for you."
Others also took out their own small gifts.
