Seeing how silly he was, Tie Niu felt angry and bored.

After a while, the children started playing together.

Jiang Baishu and Tie Niu came out together, not so much to play as to supervise these kids.

Jiang Baishu is the oldest among the group of children. Other children of his age were called to work by their families.

Here, several children ran all over the mountains and fields, robbed bird nests, and shot down two sparrows with Jiang Baishu and Tieniu's slingshots. Under Jiang Baishu's guidance, they ran to Jiang's yard and roasted them for food.

It was almost evening and Aunt Zhang came back to cook. The children had already finished eating and were just playing in the Jiang family's yard. When they saw the adults coming back, they immediately ran away.

The Jiang family’s children also had a great time playing.

Aunt Zhang opened the door and several children rushed out.

It was only after they left that we saw signs of fire in the yard.

He immediately taught the children: "Oh, you guys actually played with fire at home. Don't play with fire next time. It will be terrible if you set the house on fire."

As she spoke, Aunt Zhang picked up a stick and poked at the pile of ashes. Seeing that there were still scattered sparks, she shoveled a handful of dirt with a shovel to cover the pile of ashes.

Aunt Zhang kept nagging, but the children kept silent. They just hoped Aunt Zhang didn't tell the adults at home.

Several people quickly washed their hands and faces.

Lin Xiaohu didn't say anything when he was playing in the afternoon, but when Jiang Songshu came back in the evening, he didn't even want his mother and just followed Jiang Songshu around.

After wandering around for a while, Jiang Songshu finally discovered it.

So he turned around, but Lin Xiaohu didn't notice Jiang Songshu who suddenly stopped in front of him, and bumped into Jiang Songshu's thigh.

Rubbing his sore nose, Lin Xiaohu had tears welling up in his eyes but he tried hard not to let them fall.

Jiang Songshu quickly squatted down and asked, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Lin Xiaohu took two deep breaths and held back his tears.

Then he leaned close to Jiang Songshu's ear and whispered, "Daddy, can you make a slingshot for Xiaohu too?"

When everyone was playing in the afternoon, Lin Xiaohu was extremely envious, but he did not ask for it.

Jiang Songshu smiled and agreed immediately, "Slingshot, right?"

Jiang Songshu laughed heartily, but Lin Xiaohu rushed over and covered Jiang Songshu's mouth with his little hand, whispering, "Don't let mother know!"

"What? Your mom doesn't let you play with a slingshot? Then can I make one for you?"

Jiang Songshu pretended to be surprised.

It seemed like Gu Xianle was walking towards this side.

Lin Xiaohu frowned anxiously and wanted to say something.

Jiang Songshu leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't worry, Dad will do it for you!"

From the day Jiang Songshu and Gu Xianle got married, Lin Xiaohu started calling Jiang Songshu "Dad".

The child lost his father at an early age, and since he was young he envied other children who had both a mother and a father.

So when asked to change his name to call Jiang Songshu "Dad", Lin Xiaohu did not show any reluctance.

On the contrary, I was very happy that I had a father just like other children.

After getting Jiang Songshu's promise, Lin Xiaohu jumped and pounced on Gu Xianle who was approaching.

Gu Xianle took a look at the expressions of the father and son, and saw Lin Xiaohu smiling at her in a flattering manner, and then looked at Jiang Songshu.

With just one glance, Gu Xianle knew that the father and son had a little secret.

This was something Gu Xianle was happy to see. She naturally hoped that Jiang Songshu and Lin Xiaohu would have a good relationship. She also knew that Jiang Songshu was a man who knew the importance of the matter and did not pursue the matter.

In the capital, Jiang Xi's doll shop is doing pretty well, with revenue coming in almost every day. However, compared to Duan Yuanzhou's hot pot restaurant, the business is not even close.

Since it is the first hot pot restaurant in Beijing, people in Beijing are not short of money.

And this season is perfect for eating hot pot.

The hot pot restaurant had only been open for a few days when the weather suddenly turned cold overnight.

Hot pot restaurants are booming, with those who like hot pot and those who don’t like hot pot forming two extremes.

Those who don’t like the food will never come again after eating it once, but those who like it will ask the hot pot restaurant staff to set up a table by the road at the door so they can eat even if the weather is cold and there are no seats inside.

But it's not just the hot pot restaurants. Because of the cold weather, the furry dolls in the Jiangli Doll Shop are also very popular.

The store is indeed small and inconspicuous. After the first day of opening, we basically only had one order a day. After the weather turned cooler, the number increased to two orders a day.

Jiang Xi watched as the dolls in the store slowly decreased in number, but there was nothing she could do as her letter had already been sent out.

Even if the family has received the letter now, it will take time to transport the doll from Yunzhou City. It will take at least half a month to arrive.

There's no point in being anxious, because Chen Dafu in the store has already gotten the hang of it.

Jiang Xi rarely stayed in the store, but instead helped Duan Yuanzhou visit his hot pot restaurant from time to time.

After a month of rest, Duan Yuanzhou is now able to go out, but he needs help from servants, and it is very troublesome to go out every time.

However, this was his first time in the capital, and he was entrusted with an important task by his elder brother, so Duan Yuanzhou also took this matter very seriously.

Knowing that the hot pot restaurant business is booming, I can’t lie down at home anymore.

I had figured it out a long time ago, but I was always scared by Jiang Xi and my legs would grow crooked when I got out of bed.

After enduring for a month, Jiang Xi finally stopped scaring him.

Moreover, Song Yuxing had been thinking about eating hotpot for a long time.

Duan Yuanzhou was generous enough to let him eat in the restaurant and didn't charge him, but Song Yuxing felt embarrassed.

So it dragged on for a month. Now Duan Yuanzhou was going out to the hot pot restaurant. Song Yuxing pulled his brother aside and acted like a spoiled child, and finally Song Yulin agreed to give him a day off.

These days, the two brothers have not had an easy time. First of all, they have to do their homework, and also they have to deal with Song Zhaocheng's examinations.

Song Yulin also knew that it was indeed a bit hard for the active Song Yuxing.

Just take today as a day off.

When we arrived at the hot pot restaurant, it was crowded and very lively. Jiang Li was already there.

Duan Yuanzhou came in in a wheelchair. It had only been two days since he injured his leg, so he immediately asked someone to make one for him.

This thing is only available in Yunzhou City. It took the carpenters in the capital more than half a month to finally make it.

Although there were many people in the hot pot restaurant, as soon as they entered, Manager Yao quickly took them to the backyard.

Duan Yuanzhou sent a message early in the morning, asking them to reserve a table for them.

We are family, so we don’t have to be too particular about where we eat. The backyard is a little quieter.

So the table was set, and once people arrived, the food started to be served quickly.

Jiang Xi and Duan Yuanzhou hadn't eaten for a long time. When the dishes were served, everyone chatted before the pot was boiled. Once the pot was boiled, everyone immediately stopped talking.

The backyard was also very quiet, with only the sound of the aunties washing vegetables. Even gossip was not heard anymore, after all, the boss was here.
