Wang Cuilan’s words received unanimous approval from everyone present.

It’s hard work for others to cook, and we must respect their labor results.

Especially since we’ve all lived through tough times, we can’t waste food.

We should eat, and eat well, striving not to leave any leftovers.

However, the lunch today was indeed too much, and having no leftovers was impossible.

But that’s okay, they could continue eating it in the evening.

After eating, everyone cleaned up the dishes, tables, and chairs, and the kitchen together, before heading to the living room to continue chatting.

As a father, Pei Baoshan was naturally more concerned about Pei Huai’s work matters.

"How long are you planning to stay this time?"

Not only was Pei Baoshan curious about this, but everyone present wanted to know too.

Even the youngest, Pei Jing, understood the meaning upon hearing this and glanced over at Pei Huai.

Pei Huai glanced over everyone’s faces before answering, "I can stay for a week this time."

A week is neither too long nor too short.

Pei Baoshan nodded and continued, "Since you’re here, will there be any issues with the project?"

"No, my visit this time isn’t just to see you all, I have things to buy. On the way back, I won’t be taking the train, but driving instead."

So, there was a specific task to be handled.

Jiang Ran nodded in understanding.

As expected, with Pei Huai’s character, he wouldn’t make a special trip without a purpose; he was here to do something and just visiting by the way.

Chen Bing had already patted his chest, guaranteeing, "Old Pei, whatever you need to buy, just let me know. I’ve been in beishi for quite some time and know it well."

Just as he finished speaking, Chen Bing realized something was off.

Looking again, everyone was gazing at him with a complicated look, and he immediately understood what was wrong.

Before they came to beishi, Pei Huai had already lived there for four years.

Chen Bing: The clown is actually me!

In excitement, he forgot such an important detail.

"It’s not important." Chen Bing waved it off, "I can help you with the shopping, two people are always faster than one, don’t you think?"

Pei Huai smiled and nodded this time, "Yes, I actually do need your help with something."

Hearing this, Chen Bing finally smiled.

Old Pei really knew how to talk.

Everyone gathered and talked without realizing how time flew by until the golden sun dipped in the west, and they finally noticed time passing.

Though it was Saturday, the night school still didn’t rest, and in the evening, Jiang Ran and the others still needed to attend classes.

They reheated the food by the clock, and after eating, Jiang Ran, Pei Yang, and Pei Shanshan prepared to go to class.

Pei Huai stood up too, "Let me take you there!"

Pei Yang immediately waved his hand, "Brother, we’ve been going by ourselves for a long time, we’re familiar with the way, no need for you to see us off."

Just after Pei Yang spoke, he received that caring-for-idiots look from Pei Shanshan.

Was Brother going to see him off?

No, he clearly wanted to send Sister-in-law off!

Pei Yang, though belatedly aware, also figured it out.

After realizing, he felt just two words—awkward.

"Uh, Shanshan, let’s go, let’s go, I’ll walk with you."

Pei Shanshan actually didn’t want to walk with Pei Yang, but she couldn’t walk with Jiang Ran and Pei Huai either, so she followed along and walked ahead with Pei Yang.
