In the restaurant, everyone sat together, laughing and talking happily. Old Man Lin looked at the table full of dishes and said with emotion, "Life is really getting better and better. Back then, it was good enough to just have some coarse grains to fill our stomachs. Who would have thought that we could eat so many delicious foods now?"

Lin Qingxue smiled and handed Old Man Lin a piece of rabbit meat: "Master, please eat more. This food is very fresh."

Uncle Lin also smiled and nodded: "You are really capable. Our family will rely on you children in the future. Xiaoshan and the others must be well educated. Those who can study should study, and those who can't should learn more about business from you."

"Yes! Studying isn't the only way out. Those who can study can study with your younger uncle. Those who can't study can learn business from your third uncle. It's also okay to learn cooking from your second uncle."

Old man Lin said earnestly that they couldn't even get enough to eat back then, but now things are really very different from before.

Lin Qingran said from the side: "Uncle, when the harvest on the farm is good in the future, it can also support the operation of the three shops, which can save a lot of expenses. For us farmers, the land is our lifeblood."

Aunt Lin looked at the children, her eyes filled with satisfaction: "You have all grown up and become sensible. Auntie is very happy."

"Of course, the fields are also important. Don't worry, when the ice melts, I will take charge of several farms and fields with the eldest brother," Uncle Lin said with a smile. The most important thing is that the children need him, and he doesn't want to be idle at home at all.

Lin Xiaoshan chattered about interesting things that happened in the city, making everyone laugh. Lin Qingming looked at the lively scene and felt warm in his heart. Everyone ate and talked about recent events.

After dinner, the family moved to the front hall to drink tea and chat, leaving the mess in the restaurant to the servants to clean up.

In the front hall, Lin Qingxue sipped tea while discussing future plans: "Once the ice melts, we plan to take good care of the farm and grow crops and vegetables. We'll also redesign the shop and introduce more special dishes to attract more customers."

Old Man Lin nodded in agreement: "It's good that you have such an idea, but you should also take care of your health and don't get too tired."

Uncle Lin said, "Your aunt and I have been in the village for many years and know a lot of people. When the time comes, we can find some reliable people to help with the work on the farm. We can also ask the villagers to raise some chickens and ducks, and grow more vegetables, and then send them to the shop, so that everyone can have some income."

Lin Qingxue looked at Uncle Lin gratefully and said, "Thank you very much, Uncle. You can let the villagers grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, and you can also raise more pigs. The shop needs all these, so we will take as many as you can."

"Okay, I'll talk to your uncle later," Uncle Lin nodded in agreement. It would be a good thing to be able to help the village.

"It's getting late, let's go back to our rooms and get some rest!" Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited as they talked, Lin Qingming quickly stopped them.

As the night deepened, Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin were tired from traveling all day, so Lin Qingming quickly asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.

That night, Lin Qingming and his family slept particularly comfortably. After dawn, the Lin family members got up one after another, washed up, and went to the front hall to sit and wait for breakfast.

When Lin Qingxue brought her two daughters to the front hall, four elders, including Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin, had already arrived. Although the others had not arrived yet, they could hear their voices.

"Grandma, uncle, aunt, why are you up so early? After breakfast, I'll take you for a walk around the streets! How about we go to a restaurant or have hot pot for lunch? I'll also let you check out the business in the shops."

Seeing Old Man Lin and the others, Lin Qingxue hurriedly said with a smile that she had had this idea for a long time. She wanted to take Mrs. Lin and Aunt Lin to stroll around the street and buy them some clothes and daily necessities.

"Okay, let's go for a walk!" Aunt Lin looked at Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin, and seeing that they didn't look unhappy, she smiled and agreed.

In fact, it started snowing after they settled in the imperial city and built their house. They had been trapped at home in the village and had never gone out for a walk. Naturally, they didn't know what the city was like, and they were full of longing for the city.

"Then take us for a walk!" Old man Lin nodded. He also wanted to go to the city to see how other families lived and how good their lives were.

So, after breakfast, everyone went out in a mighty procession. Lin Qingmin, Lin Xiaoshan and the others were going to study, but Uncle Lin didn't want to go shopping and asked Lin Qingming to take him to the farm to have a look.

Finally, the ones who went out shopping were Li Yanniang's three sisters-in-law, plus the sisters Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue. They took Old Man Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Aunt Lin out shopping in two carriages. The group sat in the carriages and slowly moved along the street.

The streets were bustling with people coming and going, and there were all kinds of shops. Lin Qingxue introduced the scenery along the way to Old Man Lin and the others as they walked.

Before they knew it, they arrived in front of their own food restaurant. Lin Qingxue smiled and said, "Grandpa, uncle, aunt, grandma, let's have hot pot here for lunch! Our hot pot restaurant is the most popular in our city, and there are always many people coming to eat it."

After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Old Man Lin and the others looked at the shop with curiosity. They only knew that the children had opened a hot pot shop in the city, but they didn't know any details. This was their first time in the shop.

The store was steaming hot and filled with fragrance. Lin Qingxue skillfully led Old Man Lin and the others to a private room on the second floor. As soon as they sat down, a waiter came to serve them.

Lin Qingxue did not ask Old Man Lin and the others what they wanted to eat, but ordered various dishes on her own. She ordered dishes that everyone would eat and like.

After chatting and laughing for a while, the hot pot base was served, and the dishes ordered by Lin Qingxue were also delivered to the table one after another. Looking at the boiling pot base and fresh ingredients, the appetite of the Lin family was instantly aroused.

"I'm hungry just by smelling this aroma. Let's all start eating!" Old Man Lin said with a smile, and started to pick up the first piece of blanched meat and started eating.

When the others saw that he had started eating, they put aside their reserve and politeness, quickly picked up their chopsticks, and rushed to the steaming and fragrant hot pot, skillfully picking up their favorite dishes and putting them into their mouths to feast on them.

Everyone sat around the dining table filled with a warm atmosphere, enjoying the delicious hot pot feast while happily sharing the little things in their lives and their true feelings at the moment.
