Ren Rongyan quickly let go, and covered her belly with his rough palm, stroking it gently and tenderly, with a smile on his face: "Luoluo, your belly is so big, are they well behaved?"

"Very nice."

Ji Luo caressed them gently and whispered softly, "You two stinky babies, Daddy is back."

Ren Rongyan lowered his head and kissed her abdomen, then put his arm around her waist and asked with a smile, "Where's the stinky little baby?"

"Jinsong's family bought a new house and will move in tomorrow. Today, they invited all the relatives and elders from their hometown to come over. They just sent their luggage over and Tuantuan also went to play."

Ren Rongyan immediately picked up the simple luggage on the ground, closed the door, took her back to the room, and asked, "Where did you buy the house? Did Dongming and the others go there?"

"It's near the People's Hospital, not far from here. Jinsong, Dongming, and Minghui each bought a house. They are all small Western-style buildings..."

Nearing five o'clock, Peng Jinsong led a large group of people over. They had the key to open the door. A group of children rushed in front, and the deserted and quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

"Ren Yunqian!"

A smiling voice came from the backyard. Tuantuan suddenly stopped and looked at the person coming from the flower archway in the backyard. He ran wildly with joy: "Dad!"

"Rong Yan, did you just come back?" Peng Jinsong followed with big strides.

"Yeah, I arrived two hours ago."

Ren Rongyan had just come back and chatted with his wife for half an hour, then took a bath, and was washing a mountain of dirty clothes in the backyard bathroom.

The father and son had not seen each other for half a year. Tuantuan threw himself into his father's arms excitedly, hugged his neck and kept shouting: "Dad, Dad..."

"Has grown tall."

Ren Rongyan hugged him and kissed him fiercely twice, rubbing his face with her nose, smiling: "I heard from mom that you studied in the nursery for half a year and your performance was very good. The teacher rewarded you with many red flowers."

"Dad, the teacher awarded me six little red flowers and a little red flag." Tuantuan put all these honorary treasures in the cabinet.

"My son is awesome."

Ren Rongyan held him with one hand, and patted shoulders with Peng Jinsong who was walking over. He then strode over to greet and shake hands with the elders and relatives of the Peng family.

Zeng Minlan quickly made hot tea for everyone. Seeing that there was still a pile of dirty clothes in the bathroom, she asked Ren Rongyan to go to the living room to rest, and she immediately came over to help wash the clothes.

Ji Luo had just hung up the washed clothes nearby, and now she was carrying two pots of hot water to the bathroom. Zeng Minlan was sitting on a small stool, beating the clothes with a mallet. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly said, "Sister Ji, you don't need to help, I'll wash it."

"Xiao Ji, go sit down and have a rest. I'll help Minlan." Zeng's mother hurried over.

"Aunt, no, I don't need your help. You are a guest, and it doesn't make sense to let a guest do the laundry. Sister Minlan can help me. You go to the living room and sit down and have a rest." Ji Luo didn't let her help.

"Don't be polite to your aunt. I just heard from Minlan and Minfang that they can live a good life today, thanks to your help."

"We don't have any special skills, and we can't bring any good things. We only have brute force, so we can only help you with some housework."

"Your hands are for reading and writing. Stop washing clothes and don't let them get frozen. Go sit in the living room with your husband and son, and we'll do the washing."

Zeng's mother didn't let her work and took the kettle from her. When she saw Ren Rongyan coming over, she smiled and said to him, "Xiao Ren, quickly take your wife into the house and we will wash the clothes."

"Aunt, Sister Minlan, thank you for your hard work."

Ren Rongyan thanked him politely and said, "Throw the small ones into the washing machine, and just wash the big ones casually."

"Okay." Zeng Minlan smiled, "Sister Ji, go and do your things. I'll come and cook after I finish washing the clothes."

"Sister Minlan, don't cook tonight. I've already called Zuihuajian to order food. Let's go to the restaurant tonight. Guanglei and his family of three will also come."

"You guys are going to spend money again."

When Ren Rongyan came back, Tuantuan stopped running around with his brothers and sisters and just hung on his father's neck like a little sloth. He even refused to go when Kangzi asked him to play with glass beads.

When Ruan Minghui came back on his bike, the house was bustling with people drinking tea and chatting in the living room. He pushed the door open and stuck his head in. Seeing his cousin coming back, he was delighted: "Brother Yan, when did you come back?"

"I'll be home at three."

Ruan Minghui stepped into the house, closed the door to block out the cold wind outside, and politely greeted the elders: "Hello, uncles and aunts."

"Hello, young comrade." Father Peng and the others all smiled, and Father Zeng asked, "Jinsong, is this Xiao Ren's cousin?"

"Yes, Rong Yan's cousin Minghui is also studying at Peking University. He is a top student studying law. He opened a bookstore with us. Since Minfang became pregnant, the work that was originally handled by the two of them is now handled by Minghui, so Minfang doesn't have to worry about it."

Ruan Minghui was checking accounts with the accountant at the bookstore today. He brought the account book back and handed it to Peng Jinsong and his wife. "Doctor Lin wants you to take a look at it first. We can discuss other matters when we meet later."

Peng Jinsong took the account book and handed it to his wife, "Please take a look, leader. I don't understand it."

"hehe..."

Everyone laughed, and Zeng Minfang was also very happy. "If you don't understand the first part, you don't need to read it. Just look at the last number."

Peng Jinsong was quite interested in the numbers at the end, so he turned to the last page, fixed his eyes on the number at the bottom, and raised his eyebrows: "Boss Zeng, you are treating us to a big dinner tonight, so please pay the bill."

"Of course I'll pay for it."

Zeng Minfang was generous and open-minded. She handed the account book to the three elders and said with a smile, "Dads and moms, take a look. This is the total profit of our bookstore for the past six months."

The three elders were not very literate, but they still recognized numbers. It was just that this string of numbers was a bit long, so three pairs of eyes were staring at them and counting.

"I'll go, sure."

Zeng Minqi and his wife and Zeng Minlan and her husband also gathered around. When they saw the numbers above, the four of them had identical expressions of shock on their faces.

After seeing the specific profits, Mr. Peng's hands were shaking with excitement. "Minfang, is this for you two?"

"No, it's owned by the three of us together. Minghui and I each own 25%, and Dr. Lin owns half."

"How much is 25 percent?" Father Peng was a little confused.

Zeng Minfang was good at math, so she did the math in her head and smiled, "More than 29,000."

Ji Luo had just gone to the bedroom to put on a sweater when he heard about the net profit of their bookstore. He asked, "Is the profit of the South City branch included?"

"No, this is the account book of the head office."

Ruan Minghui planned to settle the accounts of the Nancheng branch after he returned. He had already bought a train ticket and would return to Nancheng the day after tomorrow afternoon. His two partners had also handed over all the trivial matters of Nancheng to him.
