As soon as Zhou Chao entered the courtyard, he heard lively voices coming from the inner room.

“What kind of dumplings did you make? They’re not even as good as mine!”

“Brother, your dumplings are considered good? Look at Xiaoli’s, those are the real deal!”

“Alright, stop arguing, the dumplings are almost done. Big brother, take them to the kitchen and check if the dishes are ready too,” Jiang Li intervened, putting an end to their dispute.

Listening to the banter between Xiao Yang, Xiao Feng, and Jiang Li’s voice, Zhou Chao walked in with a smile.

“I came early today, I hope there’s a portion of dumplings left for me!”

“Honey / Second Brother!” Jiang Li and Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Li quickly ran towards Zhou Chao, who opened his arms to embrace her, and they indulged in their affectionate moment, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

“Ahem, that’s enough, lovebirds. I might get full watching your public display of affection. Could you consider my feelings for a change?” Xiao Feng couldn’t help but speak up, seeing their lovey-dovey display.

Hearing Xiao Feng’s words, Jiang Li broke free from Zhou Chao’s embrace and gave Xiao Feng a teasing glance before walking away.

“Fourth brother, why did you come back?” Zhou Chao found a seat and asked.

Xiao Feng sighed. “Well, it’s been three years at the grassroots level. It’s about time I came back.”

Zhou Chao nodded and didn’t press further, understanding that everyone had their own reasons.

“Since my cousin is back, I asked Aunt Wang and the others to take a break and go home for a couple of days.”

“How’s the new housekeeper doing?”

“She’s quite diligent and efficient.”

Zhou Chao nodded in approval, pleased with Aunt Wang’s recommendation.

“Do you want to go to Xingcheng the day after tomorrow with me?” Zhou Chao asked Jiang Li, looking at her.

“Xingcheng? Why are you going to Xingcheng?”

“Guo Yan asked me to take her to report to school, and we thought of going sightseeing as well. Maybe visit Orange Island and experience the charm of our great leader. Then we can enjoy a cup of tea at Yan’s Tea House. What do you think?”

Jiang Li pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, “Seeing how sincerely you’re asking, I’ll reluctantly agree.”

Observing Jiang Li’s playful acting, Zhou Chao shook his head in amusement.

Xiao Feng poked his head out from the doorway and called, “Second brother, little sis, it’s time for dinner!”

“Coming,” Zhou Chao replied, taking Jiang Li’s hand as they walked toward the dining room.

Upon entering the dining room, they found several dishes on the table, all of them meat dishes, along with several plates of dumplings.

“Hey, where’s Grandpa and Uncle and Aunt Xiao? Why aren’t they here?” Zhou Chao asked, looking at Xiao Yang and Xiao Feng.

“Grandpa went to Beidaihe, and my parents are still at work.”

Zhou Chao understood that Xiao Yang and Xiao Feng’s parents had jobs that kept them busy, so he didn’t ask further questions. As for Grandpa going to Beidaihe, it was likely to pass the time and catch up with old friends, as he often did.

“Please sit down and eat quickly; I’m starving and can’t wait any longer,” Xiao Feng, who had already picked up his chopsticks, eagerly encouraged them. However, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li hadn’t sat down yet, so he hesitated to start eating..
