Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

As soon as I entered the yard, several children rushed over.

Old Man Yuan opened his arms, waiting for Yaoyao to jump into his arms, but Yaoyao stopped in a hurry, looked at him on the spot, thought for a while, and then decisively ran towards Old Man Yuan.

The soft and fragrant daughter threw herself into another man's arms. Yuan Laoer blinked his eyes, obviously not reacting.

"Daddy, give me a hug."

Guoan threw himself into Yuan Laoer's arms, his hands dirty and he didn't know what he touched.

Yuan Lao Er could smell the unique sour smell of the brat and pushed him away in disgust, "Go away, go away, why are you hugging someone that big?"

Then he came close to Yaoyao and coaxed her in a flattering manner.

"Yaoyao, why don't you want daddy to hold you?"

Yaoyao smiled and shook her head at Yuan Laoer, refusing to let him hug her. Her chubby hands tightly hugged Yuan Lao's neck.

"Daddy, the food Mom cooked smells so good."

She is a very perceptive person. Her mother has been looking forward to her father coming out day and night these days. How could she be the "third party"?

Old Man Yuan pushed Old Man Yuan away with one hand and said, "Go away, Yaoyao likes me to hold her."

There was a hint of pride in his voice, and the corners of his mouth were raised, showing that he was in a very good mood.

"Yaoyao, you heartless little girl, why don't you let your daddy hold you?" Yuan Laoer was about to follow Old Man Yuan when he was stopped by Old Lady Liu.

"Your wife is busy in the kitchen, go and take a look."

Even children know to avoid it, so why doesn’t this wooden guy look at his wife first?

What a blockhead...

Yuan Laoer scratched his head and went to the kitchen to find Shen Chulan.

Ye Wan saw Yuan Lao Er come into the kitchen, and tactfully came out with a bowl of food.

"Chu Lan, I'm back. You've worked hard taking care of the children these days." Yuan Laoer came in and saw Shen Chu Lan sweating from busy cooking. He helped her with a distressed look on his face.

Shen Chulan smiled and glanced at Yuan Laoer, then said, "No need for your help. I've already heated up the food. Just bring it out."

In the morning, they didn't know when Old Man Yuan would come back, so they kept reheating the food until he finally came back.

"Then you go out, I'll take the food out." Yuan Laoer wiped the sweat from Shen Chulan's forehead and pushed her out.

Shen Chulan had a gentle smile on her face. She did not hesitate to refuse Yuan Laoer's help. She stood at the kitchen door and watched Yuan Laoer busy himself.

After all the food was served on the table, the family sat down happily.

Ling'er brought out the fruit wine that Old Lady Liu had prepared a few days ago and poured a glass of wine for Old Man Yuan, Old Lady Liu, Second Yuan, Third Yuan, and Fourth Yuan.

He poured another glass of wine for Shen Chulan and Ye Wan.

Fruit wine is not strong, and women won’t get drunk even if they drink a few glasses.

The green snake with a tuft of white hair looked at the fruit wine in the jar with greed, wanting to steal it and drink it, but it didn't have the courage.

They were afraid that Old Lady Liu would chase them with a broom and beat them.

"I really want to drink." The green snake spit out its tongue and said to a tuft of white hair.

A tuft of white hair lay on the ground and nodded, "I want to drink too. Why don't we go to the wine shop and buy some wine tonight?"

"How can we buy it? We haven't yet developed into human form. We might scare people if we go there, right?" The green snake was a little worried.

"What are you afraid of? Just ask Yaoyao to get a pill that can turn you into a human. If you can't get it, we can just steal some wine." A tuft of white hair glanced at the green snake, not understanding how such a smart green snake could become stupid.

The rat and the snake were planning to steal the wine, while most of the meal had already been eaten.

Yaoyao ate a mouthful of meat and a sip of milk tea, and her belly became round and plump.

"I'm so full." Yaoyao touched her bulging belly with her chubby hands and said in a baby voice.

Old Mrs. Liu hurried to the kitchen to bring back some hawthorn water and placed it in front of the children.

"Drink this hawthorn water quickly to avoid bloating and discomfort."

Then he brought the hawthorn water to Yaoyao's mouth and coaxed her to drink it, "Yaoyao, you eat too much meat, drink more hawthorn water."

Yaoyao's stomach was full and she couldn't drink the hawthorn water anymore. She shook her head in refusal, and her chubby cheeks trembled as she shook her head. The milky taste made people want to take a bite.

"No, my stomach can't hold it."

"Then drink it when your stomach is empty. Remember, you can't skip it, or you'll feel uncomfortable."

Old Mrs. Liu wanted to control Yaoyao's appetite but was powerless. She wanted her to eat less but was also afraid that she would be hungry, which made her extremely conflicted.

Hawthorn water is prepared for every meal.

Yaoyao nodded, "Yes, I will drink it all."

"Yaoyao is so good."

Old Mrs. Liu touched Yaoyao's head with a loving smile on her face.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yue'er put down her chopsticks and quickly asked her to drink hawthorn water.

"I'm full and don't want to drink." Yue'er blinked her empty eyes and refused Old Lady Liu.

"Then you can wait and drink like Yaoyao." Old Mrs. Liu looked helpless.

Although Yue'er began to react, her personality was still too straightforward and Yaoyao-centered. She followed whatever Yaoyao did and was simply Yaoyao's follower.

"Yeah, let's drink with Yaoyao." Yue'er nodded, got down from the table, squeezed Guoan aside, and sat next to Yaoyao.

Guoan glared at Yue'er with a greasy look on his face, "If you push me again, I'll hit you."

Yue'er didn't say anything, but her clenched fists made Guoan's scalp numb. "Here you go, here you go."

He is afraid of being beaten because he will hit others if he disagrees with them.

He hid far away with his rice bowl in hand, squatting on the ground and eating his rice with a sad look on his face.

"After the results are announced, we will check out and go home. I miss home so much after not having been there for so long." Old Mrs. Liu told them about this when she saw that they had finished their meal.

"Well, I also want to go back quickly. I haven't been to Qingshui Tower for so long and I don't know how the business is going." Yuan Laosi nodded, and he couldn't wait to go back today.

Old Lady Liu glared at him. "You've been calculating all day. Do you think you can win the ranking this time?"

Yuan Laosi didn't say anything.

He doesn't know whether he can make the list or not, he only knows that he must make money.

Old Lady Liu sighed, "I'm not insisting on you getting on the list, but you've been studying for so many years and you should give yourself an explanation."

At that time, the family was poor and could not save any money. However, Yuan Laosi had a talent for studying, so they tightened their belts to let him study.

If there was no pen and ink, he would write on the ground. Yuan Laosi would take a tree branch and practice calligraphy on the ground, often filling the entire yard with calligraphy.

Just because you make money, you can't let down your previous hard work.

Yuan Laosi: "I know."

He did not stop reading just because he made money. After finishing his accounts, he read until late at night. He made great efforts.

He wasn't sure whether he could make the list.

A day passed quickly, and Yaoyao opened her eyes after Yuan Laoer and Shen Chulan fell asleep.

When we arrived at the yard, "Prefect Jiang" had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing her come out, he hurried over to greet her.

"I got the news that the people above have already left for Cangshan County."
