The next day was cloudy and windy again.

Li Yunshan specially changed into his old clothes in the morning.

Li Ruyi got up early today. As soon as Mao Xiaosui praised her for being diligent, she said, "I want to go too."

It was a cold day today, and Li Yunshan was afraid that she would be cold and didn't want to take her with her, so he said, "Another day, we will go to kill pigs today. It's too cold."

Li Ruyi: “I want to see the pig slaughtered.”

Li Yunshan took it with him in the end. After the two left, Mao Xiaosui swept the yard and took a basin of hot water to the front yard to clean.

While I was busy, the guy from the medical clinic came.

Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised when he saw him heaving a sigh of relief, "What's your expression?"

The guy was a little embarrassed and said, "The landlord promised to sell the shop."

Mao Xiaosui laughed and said, "Are you afraid that we will run away?"

The man waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no... the landlord has asked me several times."

"Okay." She said, "I'll pack it up right away."

The guy just left.

Mao Xiaosui didn't want to be kept waiting, so he washed his hands and left with the dog.

When we arrived at the hospital, the man was already waiting. She is a woman, with sharp eyes and a kind face.

When she came in, the woman said, "I know you."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and went straight to the point, "What's the price of your shop?"

"Eight hundred taels."

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "Eight hundred taels is expensive."

Woman: "The shops next door cost five to six hundred taels, but the price of my shop's eight hundred taels is reasonable."

Mao Xiaosui shook his head, "The location is not bad, but the town is only so big, and the location is not bad. Your shop is not small, but there is no big business in this town. Apart from opening a medical clinic, you can't do anything else." , if it is demolished and rebuilt, then the land price can only be discussed, and the difference is even greater."

The woman was silenced by what she said, and it took her a long time to ask, "How much do you want?"

"Five hundred taels."

The woman smiled, probably out of anger. "Seven hundred taels, not a penny less."

Mao Xiaosui was not to be outdone: "Five hundred and five, not one point more."

Woman: "You don't mean to discuss business."

Mao Xiaosui smiled, "Of course I'm sincere, the price is reasonable."

The woman didn't say anything, and the stalemate lasted for so long that even the guy didn't dare to express his anger. Finally, the deal was settled at five hundred and fifty, and the woman left after agreeing on a time for closing the contract.

The old doctor thanked him profusely, and Mao Xiaosui was polite to him for a while before he was able to get away and leave.

At noon, she and Li Ankang only cooked rabbits.

Li Ankang looked very happy and was restless even sitting on the stool.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Did you pick up the money?"

Li Ankang shook his head.

Mao Xiaosui stopped asking and went to take a nap after dinner. When he woke up, Li Ankang had left. Heizi and Wangwang were lying next to the stove and came over when they heard her getting up.

Mao Xiaosui touched its head, and when he went to the hut wearing slippers, he realized it was raining.

It looked like rain and snow, but fortunately it wasn't too heavy, and the ground was just wet, so I guess it just started falling.

Mao Xiaosui moved the kennel in and put it in the corner. Heizi immediately got up and got in.

She was very tired after a good sleep, so she sat down to wake up and go to the yard to pull onions and cabbage.

Li Ankang came back first in the evening. Seeing Mao Xiaosui writing, he asked, "What is mom writing?"

"Writing a book." Mao Xiaosui forgot the time while writing and immediately got up to cook.

Li Ankang was very interested in the story. He immediately threw away his schoolbag and sat over. He picked up half of what Mao Xiaosui had written and found that it was a story about ghosts and ghosts. He started reading it immediately.

Mao Xiaosui reminded him to "do your homework and read it after you finish it."

Li Ankang responded, but his eyes never moved away from the story.

Mao Xiaosui didn't have many requirements for Li Ankang in terms of reading, but he didn't want him to get bored playing with things at a young age. He went up and snatched the book away, and said good-naturedly, "You can write it later if you are interested, but before that you have to Learn first. Writing a book is not just about your wild imagination. You can also write about things that others don’t know. When you grow up, go and look elsewhere. Write what you see and hear in a book, so that those who have never seen it can pass it. I’ll read your book to understand it, but that’s all for the future. I hope you can pay attention to your studies now, okay?”

Mao Xiaosui rarely forces the two children to behave, but every time she talks seriously, the two children will be obedient.

Now, too, Li Ankang asked her, "Can I watch it after I finish studying?"

Mao Xiaosui: "Of course."

Li Ankang then returned to the house with his schoolbag.

It was already dark when Li Yunshan and the others came back, and Ding Pingshun came too, pulling a cart with two slaughtered pigs and a basket of slaughtered chickens on it.

Li Ruyi's face turned red due to the wind, and she walked straight into the house.

Li Yunshan and Ding Pingshun carried the pork into the house.

After washing up and eating, Mao Xiaosui told Li Yunshan, "We have negotiated with the medical center for five hundred and fifty taels. We have made an appointment to go to the deed the day after tomorrow."

Li Yunshan nodded and said he understood, and asked Ding Pingshun, "Are you going to the county?"

Ding Pingshun didn't know what to do, so he nodded.

After dinner, the three children went to watch a story together. Mao Xiaosui boiled some water, washed the clothes Li Yunshan wore today, and helped him scrub his body.

It was getting late after cleaning up, and the light in the side room was still on. Mao Xiaosui shouted to Li Ankang to go to bed quickly, and he and Li Yunshan rested first.

The next day, when Mao Xiaosui was planning to make breakfast, Qin An came. When he walked in, he shouted, "I haven't eaten either."

Mao Xiaosui cooked some more porridge, fried a whole cabbage, and fried a plate of eggs.

It wasn't until the meal was almost done that Li Ankang came out of the house, rubbing his eyes, and Li Ruyi didn't even move.

Mao Xiaosui was a little surprised. She didn't write much in the afternoon, and it was impossible for Li Ankang to stay up late after reading it.

She asked "Are you suffering from insomnia?"

Li Ankang nodded spiritlessly, "It's a nightmare."

Mao Xiaosui thought about the content of her book. Although it was a ghost, it wasn't scary, right?

Li Ankang went into Li Ruyi's house and woke him up. He washed his face with cold water before he regained consciousness.

Don't rush to leave after eating, just follow the lead.

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "What's wrong?"

Li Ankang felt a little aggrieved, "I'll be hungry before noon."

Mao Xiaosui was happy, "Then just say it, why do I think you want to do it?"

Mao Xiaosui gave him ten copper coins and said, "Go buy steamed buns."

Li Ruyi also came over, "Mom, can I have a bag of snacks?"

"No." Mao Xiaosui also gave her ten copper coins.

Li Yunshan and the other three took knives to divide the meat.

They gave half a chicken to each of Qin An's and Su Yong's families, and a whole chicken to their family. The chickens were their own, but Qin An couldn't stand his shamelessness, so one of them was taken away.

It's a good time to eat when it's cold.

There was not much white flour at home, so Li Yunshan and Ding Pingshun went to grind the flour, while Mao Xiaosui prepared the fillings.

Add half lean meat and half fat meat, add green onions into a tall bowl and mix well.

To make steamed buns, Xiao Sui would prepare dumplings first. Usually they are boiled or fried, but this time she planned to use steamed ones.

There was too much stuffing, and I had been making it from morning until noon. When Li Ankang came back, he was still making it.

Li Yunshan and others made the remaining fillings, while Mao Xiaosui steamed the dumplings in a steamer.

The steamed dumpling wrappers are more chewy than the boiled ones. Li Ruyi likes them very much and didn't forget to rank them.

I like fried food best, then steamed food, and finally boiled food.

Mao Xiaosui smiled and said, "I'll make Xiao Long Baozi for you tomorrow."

"Is it also a steamed bun?" Li Ruyi asked.

Mao Xiaosui nodded, "Yes."

But she planned to make it sweet and add some sugar.

Li Yunshan felt a little regretful, "Then I won't be able to eat until Ping Shun comes back."

Mao Xiaosui laughed, "How can I forget you? I'll pack it up quickly. You can leave before you finish."

Only then did Li Yunshan laugh.
