Chapter 44 The Good Life
Grandma Cai looked at the children inside and outside and smiled from ear to ear.

He said to his wife who was lying on the armchair beside him: "It would be great if the children could live in our house."

Liu Guangqing fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan, "Oh~, then you can have a good dream."

"They didn't ask the old man how my contact was going, so I felt relieved."

"If they ask me later, I don't know what to say." The old man continued to fan himself with the palm-leaf fan and sighed. He liked all these children, but now he didn't know how to start talking.

Liu Lang and Zhang Yiming were temporarily fascinated by the game and seemed to have forgotten about it.

Lin Meixia was busy tasting the food.

When I came back, I not only brought the ham and red wine given by the foreigner, but also went to a roast duck restaurant opened by a Hunanese.

Bought a spicy roast duck.

Migrant workers from all over the country live around here.

Perhaps the boss saw a business opportunity and opened a specialty roast duck restaurant.

Satisfies the taste buds of many foreigners.

The roasted duck was dry, with almost all the excess fat dried out.

Spicy and hot, soaked in their special chili pepper.

People who don't eat spicy food will cry after licking it.

But for people who like spicy food, it will only make them crave more.

A roast duck costs five yuan, and most workers only dare to buy one when entertaining guests.

Li Kang made some money and bought a lot of food he had never eaten before.

Only a few of the dishes served on the table were cooked in a pot.

Stewed pork ribs, stir-fried ham with green peppers, and stir-fried bamboo shoots, which are also called water spinach in some places.

The other dishes on the table were all bought from a small commercial street nearby.

There are specialties from all over the country.

Mainly people from the Midwest.

Shanghai Ying looked at the table full of fishy and spicy dishes and shook his head.

Grandma Cai and Liu Guangqing said nothing.

Liu Jun was busy playing games.

How could she not know what the dishes cooked by Chen Lijuan taste like?
Except for water spinach, ham and green pepper, she could accept the other dishes with just a touch of her chopsticks.

I see my husband still playing games like a child.

Chen Lijuan walked over and took the game controller from his hand.

"It's time to eat! You're an adult, and you're still fighting with kids for games!"

"Don't take it now. I'm about to beat this brat."

Liu Jun PKed with his nephew for more than ten times, but didn't win a single time, which made him, as an uncle, very embarrassed.

Liu Lang also said proudly: "Uncle, you need to practice more."

Liu Jun was so angry that he ate two more bowls of rice.

The bottle of red wine that Li Kang brought back was also opened, and a little was poured into each person's glass.

Then pour in Sprite.

I don't know when this way of drinking started.

Most people can't drink dry red wine alone.

But if you mix it with ice soda, it tastes completely different.

Shanghainese also have their own soda, salty soda.

It tastes pretty good when chilled.

Liu Guangqing raised his glass first, "Come, let's welcome Li Kang, Liu Lang, Yiming and Meixia together."

The whole family clinked their glasses together, feeling a bit like having a New Year's Eve dinner.

"You guys just have fun at home from now on. Tell Grandpa if you want anything."

Li Kang and the three little ones said together: "Thank you, Grandpa."

Liu Guangqing was very happy and asked his wife to take out the red envelope that he had prepared long ago.

"Keep it. This is some care from grandpa and grandma. We two old people are very happy that you are here." After Grandma Cai distributed the red envelopes, Chen Lijuan followed suit and distributed a red envelope to everyone.

The old man's red envelope contained 200 yuan. The two of them had saved a lot of money throughout their lives and could afford it.

There was a hundred yuan in Chen Lijuan’s red envelope, which was not a small red envelope to anyone.

Shanghai people live frugally in normal times, but are generous with gifts when paying favors to others.

At the same time, other places, such as the southwest,
If there is something going on in the village, they will have a meal and the gift may be a bag of sugar or a bottle of white wine.

Then it’s the kind of thing that is passed back and forth, others give it to you, and you give it to others.

If you put a mark on it, it is possible that it will return to your hands one day.

Liu Lang hurriedly opened the red envelope.

I don't feel much about the three hundred dollars. After all, this kid has his own little piggy bank.

With more than 3,000 yuan, you can be considered a rich person when you go out.

Meixia and Yiming's reactions were different. Three hundred yuan was not a small amount of money for them, and they were so excited that their hands were shaking.

Li Kang originally wanted to say that he was going to rent a house.

After all, Liu Guangqing's house is only the size of a palm.

With four children living there, it's already crowded.

But seeing that the two elders were very happy, if he told them, would Meixia leave with them, and Yiming would also go with him.

Fortunately, Liu Lang was always helpful and asked Liu Guangqing: "Grandpa, when will my dad come back?"

"Your father. I called him today and asked him to come back and tell him you were here. But your father is working overtime and won't be free until later."

"What about my mother?" Yiming asked eagerly.

"Yiming, your uncle will come to pick you up in a while. He said on the phone that your house is a little small and a little far from here." Liu Guangqing continued to comfort him, "You can stay at my house first and play with Liu Lang. Didn't you just buy a new TV and game console?"

"Play more with your uncle. We never played these games when we were little."

Liu Jun looked at his wife with pride. It seemed that with his father's words, he could play games with the children openly.

Then Meixia also looked at Old Man Liu expectantly.

"Meixia, I called your father's workplace and it worked at first. But unfortunately, the phone lines in our area were cut by someone, so the second time I called, it didn't work."

Hearing this, Meixia was a little disappointed.

"However, your father's unit has confirmed it."

"What does my father do?"

Lin Meixia asked with concern.

"I think he's the editor of a magazine, maybe Literature and Life, or something like that. Look at my brain. I'm old and forget things quickly."

Li Kang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was still preparing for the magazine, and he didn't want it to accidentally end up in the mailbox of Lin Meixia's father.

Liu Guangqing continued to report on the situation of Li Kang's father without even opening his mouth.

In fact, Li Kang now just wants to meet his cheap dad and eliminate the influence of his previous life's obsession on him.

Then he asked for a huge amount of child support for himself.

It would be a waste if you don't take advantage of this opportunity.

Anyway, he already has a new home, and he won’t be happy if I force my way in. It’s better to just take some benefits and leave.

There's nothing wrong with being an orphan these days. There are opportunities everywhere and development is happening everywhere.

It's easy to become a millionaire accidentally.

If you think about the little things that come to you, you will easily get hurt.

"Your father seems to be the chairman of a foreign trade company. I remember this clearly." Liu Guangqing was still a little proud. He was not wrong this time.

When Liu Jun and Chen Lijuan heard the identity of Li Kang's father, they gasped, their eyes opened wider than their fists, and their faces were full of disbelief.

As the chairman of a foreign trade company, Li Kang suddenly became a second-generation rich.

And because their family helped the chairman find his long-lost son, the chairman's family was so grateful that they just waved their hands and gave them a lifetime of wealth and glory.

The Liu family suddenly became the star of the alley.

The couple is already fantasizing about their wonderful life in the future.
