Ji Luo pushed the door open and walked in. Tuantuan, who was jumping around in the room, immediately rushed over and hugged her legs. She had no choice but to pick up the smiling clingy spirit.

"Sister Luo, was that your college classmate just now?" Ji Yujie asked her.

"Yes, classmate in college."

Ji Luo sat down with Xiao Chou Bao in his arms and continued, "There are thirty students in our class, and only two of us are from Province X."

She didn't say anything else and changed the subject: "Brother Yan, have you ordered the dishes?"

"I've ordered. The restaurant is not well prepared today. One of the chefs is on vacation. You'll have to wait a little longer for the food to be served."

Ren Rongyan picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of hot tea. Seeing her son swinging around on top of her, she patted his hand and said, "Tuan Tuan, sit still and don't move around. Don't knock over the tea bowl and burn mom."

The children were so lively and active that they couldn't sit still on her body and kept twisting on her body like a worm.

Ji Luo helped him sit up straight, peeled some melon seeds for him to eat, and asked Chen Zhifeng, "Brother Chen, have Sister Minfang and the others returned?"

"They should be back. Before they went back for the holiday, they said they would go to the family compound on the fifth day of the first lunar month, take care of some things at home on the sixth and seventh days, and come back to work on the eighth day."

"I'll call them later and go to the family home to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow."

Ji Luo fed his son melon seeds and said to him: "Tuan Bao'er, tomorrow I will take you to the place where dad used to work to pay New Year's greetings to dad's comrades and uncles."

"Tomorrow, carry a bag to hold the New Year's money, and behave well. Dad's pocket money this year will depend on you."

When Ren Rongyan said this, everyone else laughed. Chen Zhifeng said while eating melon seeds, "Tuantuan, your father's comrades-in-arms are all generous people. Your uncle will prepare a sack for you. You can carry a sack of money back tomorrow."

"Don't look at him at a young age, but he is a very good thief. We have never taught him the usefulness of money, but he knows that money can buy things. Every time his elders give him a red envelope as a meeting gift, he keeps it and stuffs it in his pocket."

"A few days ago, at the New Year's Eve first-year party, the first-year-old drew lots. He caught two things. One was his grandfather's gun, and the other was a happy reunion. After getting the money, he stuffed it into his pocket. Brother Yan and I asked him if he wanted everything. If not, he will keep it himself.”

Ji Luo told them these interesting stories with a smile. Now she is sure that her son will be good at making money when he grows up.

Tuantuan was eating melon seeds and listening to what she said. He seemed to understand what she said. He also remembered something and immediately went to look in his pocket.

When he saw that the money in his pocket was missing, he frowned, his face changed instantly, he grabbed her hand and screamed "beep".

"After so many days, you finally realized that the money in your pocket is missing?"

Ji Luo couldn't stop laughing. He patted his bag and told him: "It's in mom's bag. Mom will keep it for you and buy stationery for you to study in the future."

"You chose a gun. You're really good at choosing things." Ji Shengli smiled.

"Our great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and fathers were all soldiers. We have the blood of military heroes running in our bones, so of course we know how to choose things that suit us." Ji Luo smiled gently.

Soon, someone outside notified them that the food was served. Ren Rongyan ordered seven or eight dishes, both meat and vegetarian, with mostly meat, all served in large bowls.

"Ji Luo, these are all filled with chili peppers. Can the dumplings be eaten?" Li Hongjuan wanted to get some vegetables for her child, but they were all spicy.

"Aunt Juan, he can't eat spicy food. There is also pork rib soup. The waiter will bring it to you later."

When Ren Rongyan ordered the dishes, he took care of his children, invited everyone to eat, and picked up a piece of vegetable sprout for his son, letting him grab it and eat it first.

After the last soup was served, everyone started eating immediately. Ren Rongyan first picked up the dish his wife wanted to eat and said, "Luoluo, eat quickly."

"What you ordered are all my favorite dishes."

Being cared about by the man, Ji Luo felt warm and gave him some braised pork. "The braised pork made by the master is more delicious than mine. Eat a few more pieces today."

Ren Rongyan was holding his son alone. He picked up the chopsticks with his other hand and was about to pick it up, but Tuan Tuan was faster than him and snatched the braised pork away with his little paws.

"Ren Yunqian!"

Ji Luo looked at him funny, and when he saw him grabbing the meat, he stuffed it into his mouth, fearing that they would come to snatch it. His eyes were full of adoration: "Mom will pinch it for you, this is for dad."

"He's a glutton. Let him eat." Ren Rongyan reached out to pick up some food and eat.

The food in this restaurant tastes good, much better than the cooking of the chef in the state-owned restaurant in his hometown. The Ji family members don't even need them to order, they are all eating with big mouthfuls.

There were a lot of people today, and we finished all the dishes on the table, even the soup. After we were full, we got up and left.

The group first went back to Chen Zhifeng's home. Ren Rongyan took the luggage, and the family of three went to the guesthouse to check in.

Not long after they left, Ji Sanlin wanted to go out for a walk and said, "Hongjuan, let's go to the farmer's market and buy some meat."

"Row."

Li Hongjuan got up and followed him, and said to him: "I don't know if there is any meat to buy at this time. I think Tuantuan likes to eat meat. He ate two pieces of meat at noon. If there is meat to buy, I will buy a few more kilograms later."

"Let's take a look first. If there is meat, buy meat. If there is no meat, buy a chicken." Ji Sanlin said and took out five yuan from his pocket.

"Uncle San, Aunt San, the farmer's market here is a bit small, and there may be no meat in the afternoon. If you can't buy any meat, just walk in the direction we just came back from, and keep going along that road. You will reach the meat processing plant in four or five minutes. Meat is always available for sale at the meat processing plant, as well as chicken, duck, and fish." Ji Bingqing told them.

"If the meat processing plant has one, we can go there directly instead of going to the farmer's market." Li Hongjuan made the arrangements.

"Okay." Ji Sanlin listened to her.

The two of them walked quickly and soon arrived at the meat processing plant. Ji Sanlin saw that there was not much pork left on the stall and there were still several people queuing up, so he immediately shouted, "Hongjuan, go buy some meat. I'll go check out the rest."

"Okay, I'm going to buy meat. If you see chickens or ducks, buy one too. Pack it up today and stew it for Tuantuan to eat tomorrow." After speaking, Li Hongjuan rushed to the meat stall.

Ji Sanlin had already seen the stall selling chickens and ducks. Seeing that there were people buying at the stall, he immediately rushed over and bought the last chicken.

There were still several people queuing up in front of the pork stall. Ji Sanlin carried the chicken and went to the door to wait.

He stood at the door holding the chicken, looking around, but didn't see anyone coming behind him. The big rooster in his hand was still arrogantly pecking at the other person.

"what!"

A scream behind him startled Ji Sanlin, and he turned around immediately.

Bai Xuemei, who had been pecked, was covering her wound and rubbing it. She was pecked badly, and she frowned with displeasure on her face: "What's wrong with you? Your chicken..."
