On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the company dormitory seemed quite quiet. Most of the people living there were single employees, all of whom had gone home for the holiday. Only a few families still had the lights on.

This is how old-style tube-shaped buildings are. Most rooms have poor lighting, and if they are slightly off-center, you have to turn on the lights even in broad daylight.

Liu Hongyi saw Li Qingtong boiling Chinese medicine in the corridor from a distance.

The tube-shaped buildings do not have kitchens or bathrooms. The kitchens of most families are located in the corridor, with rows of coal balls and stoves. There is usually an aluminum kettle on the stove, warming a pot of hot water.

Although Song Xiaoqin and her daughter had only recently moved in, there was already a huge pile of coal briquettes in the corridor in front of their door, more than a hundred of them. The stove and other equipment were also new.

All of this was arranged by Jin Yunfeng.

Of course, Jin Yunfeng didn't need to do it himself, he just needed to tell the person in charge of the hotel.

The restaurant itself also needs coal briquettes, so it is very convenient to send some to Song Xiaoqin and her daughter.

Li Qingtong was wearing a brightly colored cotton-padded jacket with small floral patterns and a pink woolen hat with a pompom on it. These were bought for her the last time Liu Hongyi took her shopping.

It is said that Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes. After the little girl changed into such a new set of clothes, she looked much more energetic. Her delicate face also showed the rosy color that a girl of her age should have, and she looked full of vitality.

Liu Hongyi walked over slowly. Li Qingtong was still very sensitive and turned her head to look at him immediately. Seeing that it was Liu Hongyi, she was slightly startled at first, and then she called out happily, "Cousin..."

After all, they are just children, and their minds are very simple.

Liu Hongyi was good to her, so she liked him in her heart and had already regarded Liu Hongyi's mother as her aunt whom she had never met.

Liu Hongyi walked closer, reached out and touched her rosy little face, and said with a smile: "Just call me brother from now on."

My cousin always sounds a little off.

“Oh…Brother…”

Li Qingtong agreed obediently with a smile on her face.

"Come on, go inside."

When she pushed the door open and went in, Song Xiaoqin had already heard the noise outside. She stood up, holding a camel-colored sweater in her hand, which seemed to be half knitted. Judging from the size of the sweater, it should be knitted for Liu Hongyi.

"Auntie, happy New Year."

Liu Hongyi greeted Song Xiaoqin with a smile.

"I brought you some local specialties from Chuzhou."

To be called a local specialty, it is quite solid.

A large piece of fragrant bacon, weighing at least four or five pounds, a string of sausages, and two bags of candy, all produced in Chuzhou.

The bacon was given to him by Liu Wu.

A total of four pieces of bacon were delivered, weighing more than ten pounds.

Liu Hongyi did not refuse and accepted them all, but insisted on paying for them, as if he had bought them.

Liu Wu felt very embarrassed. In the end, Liu Hongyi accepted the bag of peanuts he sent without paying, which also satisfied Liu Wu's wish to thank him.

The New Year pig they slaughtered themselves and the bacon they made themselves were clean and hygienic, and the taste was excellent. Liu Hongyi liked them very much.

"This, there are so many things, how can this be embarrassing?"

Song Xiaoqin was a little at a loss.

Liu Hongyi was so kind to her and her daughter, and was a great benefactor to their family.

Liu Hongyi said, "Auntie, just accept it."

"You've just recovered from a serious illness, and Qingtong is still growing. They both need nutrition. Don't be reluctant to eat more meat. After the Chinese New Year, if your health allows, go to work at the Haoyun Hotel. They have very good food for employees. I've already made arrangements with the boss, and you can bring Qingtong to eat with you at the restaurant. I'll pay for the food."

Having said that, how could Jin Yunfeng bother him with the food expenses for one more child?

If he treated her to a meal, just one simple meal would be enough to feed Li Qingtong for a month or two.
