      by Sunflower To eat a meal, you need staple food. With the five of them plus Ah Zhe's father, a total of six people, steaming twelve two-part flour steamed buns would be just right.

      Chapter 19: A Leg Ache Means Rain Cover
      by Sunflower "Back then, when my dad misspoke at school, he was beaten up by his own student. His leg was injured right then. The treatment wasn't timely, and on top of that, the climate in the southwest is a bit humid. I don't know how, but he ended up with this problem. You can't usually tell, but my dad isn't feeling well today, so he's not walking steadily. Just you watch, it's definitely going to rain in the next two days." Ah Zhe's tone was extremely calm as he said these words. Li Xiangdong asked, "Didn't…

      by Sunflower "Little Linzi, do you even know how to knock? Can't you change this stinking habit you've had for so many years?" Li Xiangdong walked over, pushed Xiang Lin behind him, grabbed the copper ring on the gate, and knocked twice, neither too lightly nor too heavily. Hearing no movement from inside, he knocked three more times. "Coming, coming, who is it?" The hurried voice carried a hint of probing as the gate was slowly opened. A thin, gaunt young man first peeked out from the side, then pulled the…

      Chapter 17: Cleaning the Pig’s Head Cover
      by Sunflower Li Xiangdong smiled, "I'm using them as wine bottles. Inside are the two catties of Erguotou I just bought." "Why buy loose wine? You could have just taken some from home. Binzi, remember to grab my two bottles of Tongzhou Laojiao when you leave later." Qian Bin readily replied, "Alright, Dad." Uncle Qian was a generous man, and Qian Bin's personality was just like his father's. When their group of childhood friends got together to eat and drink, it was usually Qian Bin who paid for the majority…

      Chapter 16: The Haircut of a Labor Reform Convict! Cover
      by Sunflower "Dongzi, you're finally out!" Li Xiangdong had guessed correctly. The visitor was indeed his childhood friend. The one speaking was not tall and had a dark complexion. His name was Xiang Lin, and he had a buzz cut. He was clearly an educated youth who had returned to the city, but he looked exactly like a labor reform convict who had just been released. This wasn't a few decades later; going out with a "convict's haircut" like this would get you laughed at. "What were you dawdling in the house…

      by Sunflower Seeing her husband acting foolishly, Zhou Yuqin couldn't help but laugh and say, "Then go ahead and call." "Call what?" "Call me 'Mom' or 'Grandma,' either is fine." "Comrade Zhou Yuqin, you're getting a bit presumptuous now. Are you asking for a lesson from me?" Li Xiangdong moved closer, hugging her from behind, his hands not staying still, touching here and there. Zhou Yuqin was holding their daughter with both hands and could only let his large hands roam over her body. When she couldn't…

      by Sunflower Li Xiangdong had already made up his mind. As long as his wife was happy, he didn't want the land. But faced with Father and Mother Li, who kept asking him why he was hesitating, he needed to come up with an excuse to fool them. He was racking his brains for a story when his second brother's words gave him an idea.

      by Sunflower Mother Li saw that after her eldest and second sons had each taken a bowl, the noodles in the large basin were almost gone. She picked up the large basin and said, "Don't say anything yet. Wait until I've cooked the noodles, then we'll talk." She was also very curious. If she didn't hear the details with her own ears, her heart would be itching. By the time Mother Li returned to the room with another basin of noodles, Father Li had also finished the noodles in his bowl. He wiped his mouth and took…

      by Sunflower Li Xiangdong walked into the living room of the main house, fanning himself with the cattail leaf fan. He saw his mother chopping vegetables for toppings and his two sisters-in-law vigorously kneading dough. He said in surprise, "Pure white flour, Mom, you're really generous today." "When have I ever been stingy? Our family can afford to eat it once in a while." Mother Li continued chopping vegetables without looking up. "We happen to have some sesame paste at home, so we're having cold noodles…
