Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The three of them sat and chatted for a while. The children sleeping in the pavilion over there also woke up and ran to Li Yu’s pavilion.

Li Yu asked Yangyang to bring the fruits on the table to the few little fellows who were pretending to be reserved. After Little Loach led the three of them to bow, he took the fruits Yangyang handed over.

After the gluttonous Xiao Bai obtained a candied fruit from Yangyang, it lay at the side and ate it.

Li Qing looked at them and asked with a smile, “Where’s the fish you caught? We’ll take it back and roast it later.”

Yangyang shook his head and pointed at Xiao Bai. “It scared the fish away and even fell into the water. It made us wet when it got up, so we came here to play.”

Li Qing pulled Yangyang along. “Let’s go. Uncle will bring you to fish. We’ll have a barbecue tonight.”

Yangyang looked at Li Qing happily. “Let’s have a barbecue! I like it the most. Let’s go, Uncle.”

When Li Yu saw Li Qing running away with the children like a child, she smiled and said, “Once Ah Qing is married. I’ll have an explanation for my parents.” Li Yu said in her heart, “I also have an explanation for Little Li Yu.”

Zhou Jia looked at Li Qing’s back and thought of the thin child with withered hair. He was now an adult and was about to start a family.

He held Li Yu’s hand and said with a smile, “Yu’er, we’re considered an old couple. ”

Li Yu smiled and punched him. “You old man.”

“Wife, take a closer look. Where can you find a handsome and refined old man like me?” Zhou Jia stood up straight and posed in the most charming position. He looked at Li Yu and smiled brightly.

Li Yu leaned against the pavilion and looked at Zhou Jia’s coquettish appearance. She smiled brightly. “Alright, alright, alright. You’re the most handsome and elegant old man!”

While the couple flirted there, Li Qing and the children were busy fishing.

After scooping up half a bucket of fish, Zhao Cai and Han San also came to the lotus pond. The two of them went down to the lotus pond and used a net to pick up a full bucket. They picked up fish that weighed more than a catty. Han San smiled and said, “Such a big fish can be marinated easily and the meat is good.”

Li Qing smiled and said, “Looks like Brother Han often makes grilled fish and knows what to choose.”

When Han San heard Li Qing call him Brother Han, he was flattered and nodded with a smile. “Master-in-law, I used to go to East Lake to fish with the hooligans on the streets. When I caught them, I roasted them by the river. We made the food randomly. It’s fine as long as it’s cooked.”

Li Qing smiled and nodded. “That’s right! It’s already good enough that we can eat our fill. There’s no need to be so particular!”

Zhao Cai looked at the fish in the bucket and smiled. “It’s two full buckets of fish. Together with the other dishes, it should be enough.”

“That should be enough. Let’s go back!” Li Qing waved his hand.

Zhao Cai and Han San carried the fish back and helped Aunt Zhang, Aunt Lin, and the others kill the fish. They smeared it with sauce and marinated it for more than an hour. Aunt Zhang cut some streaky pork and even went to the village to buy two fat chickens to marinate and prepare for the barbecue.

When Li Yu and the others returned home, they got someone to set up two places in the courtyard and called the servants to the courtyard. The two

The children became familiar in no time. As they ate, they chased after the dragonflies in the front and backyard.

Granny Chen looked at the harmonious and lively scene in the courtyard and suddenly felt that it was a good choice to stay with the Zhou family.

The next morning, Li Qing and Mr. Qian planned to return to the capital in the morning. Zhou Jia and Li Yu brought Yangyang and the children to town to buy sacrificial supplies for the Zhongyuan Festival.

When they arrived at Hengshan Town, the two groups of people bade farewell and split up. There were still three to four days before the Zhongyuan Festival. Hengshan Town Street was extremely lively. There were vendors selling underworld artifacts on both sides of the street. The street was filled with paper shoes, paper clothes, paper cats, paper money, and ingots, and most of these underworld artifacts were crudely made. After taking a few steps, he saw that there were also printed scriptures. They even sold the Yue Lan basin of the Underworld Transformation.

Yangyang looked at the dark artifacts curiously, but Little Loach and the others knew. They pulled him and the others and muttered softly. Yangyang let out surprised sounds from time to time.

Li Yu and Zhou Jia looked around a few places and found a vendor with exquisite workmanship. They bought a large pile of dark money and dark artifacts. Han San quickly put them all into his backpack and carried them to the carriage.

Li Yu recalled that Mr. Wen had said that the fishballs and roasted chicken in town were delicious. She turned to Zhou Jia and Mr. Wen and said, “Let’s go to the restaurant Sir mentioned for lunch. How about eating fishballs and roasted chicken?”

Mr. Wen smiled and nodded. “Alright! I’ll be the host today. Please go to the restaurant.”

Zhou Jia smiled and said, “Alright! Then I have to eat more for lunch.”

Zhao Cai called the children to the carriage and followed the three of them with

Han San.

When they reached a two-story building at the end of the street, the children got out of the car. Mr. Wen smiled and said, “Yo! It’s been changed to a two-story building. Steamed Bun Liu is doing well!”

Li Yu held Yangyang’s hand and looked up to see that the sign said Liujia Cuisine. There was also a chubby bun in the bottom corner. She smiled and said, “His family started by selling buns, right?”

“That’s right! His nickname is Steamed Bun Liu.” Mr. Wen smiled.

The waiter at the entrance of the restaurant welcomed her solicitously and said with a smile, “Madam, you have good taste. My old shopkeeper started selling buns and has been around for decades.”

Li Yu nodded and held Yangyang’s hand as they walked in. Seeing that there were no customers in the hall, Li Yu looked at the bustling crowd on the street and wondered why an established restaurant would be so deserted.

The shop assistant eagerly brought them upstairs to sit down. A table of guests upstairs had just paid the bill and left.

Zhao Cai, Little Loach, and the others also sat at a table. Mr. Wen ordered the signature dishes: fishballs, braised chicken nuggets, buns, and some home-cooked dishes.

Mr. Wen smiled and said, “Steamed Bun Liu is a good person. In the past, when those beggars asked for food at the door, he often gave them steamed buns to eat. When there were guests, he would also give the leftovers to those beggars.”

Li Yu and Zhou Jia nodded in praise. “Not bad. He’s still a benevolent merchant.”

After the dishes were served, Li Yu ate a bun and felt that it tasted average. Mr. Wen also frowned and said, “Did they change the boss? The buns are not as delicious as before, and the fishballs are not as chewy as before. Only the roasted chicken is so-so.”

Zhou Jia smiled and said, “After so many years, it’s possible that the boss has changed.”

Mr. Wen nodded in agreement. “That’s true. I’m an old man.”

Everyone ate in low spirits. After paying the bill, they walked downstairs. Suddenly, an old man with white hair and wearing rough old clothes was pushed out of the backyard.

The old man shouted, “He Yuqing, heartless bastard. I, Steamed Bun Liu, took you in out of goodwill. I didn’t expect you to invite trouble. You’re a vicious ghost who eats people without spitting out their bones. Return my daughter to me. Return my granddaughter to me.”

Mr. Wen frowned at the old man in surprise.

“Get lost, old man,” a few shop assistants shouted with wooden sticks. One of them went forward and pushed the old man a few times. “Old man, why aren’t you leaving? What nonsense are you talking about?”

The old man staggered a few times and fell at Zhou Jia’s feet.

Zhou Jia helped the old man up and looked at the shop assistant coldly. “He’s already so old. How can you push him like this?”

The shop assistant was stunned by Zhou Jia’s aura and did not dare to go forward..
