After settling into the new house, Cheng Su bought some lamb to braise. The whole family gathered around to enjoy a hotpot, filling the cold winter with laughter and warmth.
"...I've been out for quite some time now, and I'll be heading back to the old home tomorrow," Father Qi took a sip of wine and said contentedly, "With the New Year approaching, it's time to slaughter the fat pig at home and make some cured meat. I'll send some over to you guys as well."
Father Cheng immediately replied, "In that case, I'll go back with you tomorrow!"
Mother Qi glanced at Qi Xiaoqi in Cheng Su's arms, feeling a bit reluctant.
Seeing his wife's look, Father Qi said, "You should go back too. Your leg hasn't fully recovered; you need to see the bone-setting doctor for some more treatments."
Mother Qi muttered, "It's been almost half a year."
"But you're still not fully healed," Father Qi interjected without mercy.
Mother Qi didn't say anything, feeling silently resentful.
