Everyone enjoyed the meal.

After Zhao Sisi washed the dishes, Zhao Huaishan called her over.

“Sisi! Tell me! What did your parents make you suffer today?”

When Zhao Sisi heard her grandfather’s words, she suppressed her discomfort and squeezed out a smile.

“Grandpa, I didn’t suffer!”

“Sisi, although I’m old, I’m not so old that I’m blind. Tell me what’s going on!” Zhao Huaishan said earnestly.

When Zhao Sisi heard this, she told him everything that had happened today.

After hearing this, Zhao Huaishan felt a little tired.

He had never expected his second son and his wife to become like this.

When they were in Eagle Village, his second son’s family was fine. Why did they change so much after moving out?

Zhao Huaishan thought for a moment and said, “You did the right thing! Xiaoran gave you the idea, so you and Mao Dao should do this business. With such a business, your lives will improve in the future. As for your parents, just wait and see! When the food street Xiaoran mentioned is really built, you can discuss it with your parents. As long as they pay for the shop, you can consider giving them a share. If they don’t pay and only want to get money for free, don’t give it to them!”

Zhao Sisi thought of something and said, “Grandpa, Father and Mother definitely won’t let this matter rest! Father will definitely look for Mao Dao tomorrow morning! ”

Zhao Huaishan said, “Don’t worry! Your father won’t look for Mao Dao tomorrow! I won’t let him go!”

With her grandfather’s a.s.surance, Zhao Sisi felt relieved.

The next day, when Zhao Long was about to go out early in the morning, he was stopped by Zhao Huaishan.

“Second son, where are you going so early in the morning?”

Zhao Long stiffened when he heard his father’s voice and turned around.

“Morning, Father!”

“It’s very early! I’m old and don’t sleep much, so I got up very early! What about you? Are you going to get busy in the fields so early?” Zhao Huaishan asked. Zhao Long was a little embarra.s.sed and didn’t know what to say.

Zhao Huaishan sighed when he saw his son like this.

“Since you’re fine, follow me out for a walk today!”

Zhao Long nodded and didn’t object.

Zhao Huaishan and Zhao Long left the house and walked out together.

As they walked, Zhao Long felt that something was wrong.

This path was clearly heading towards the official road.

Was his father bringing him to the official road?

Did Zhao Sisi say something to her grandfather after returning yesterday?

Thinking of this, Zhao Long felt uneasy.

At this moment, it was still dawn, but there were already many people busy on the official road.

The father and son didn’t go to the official road. Instead, they stood at a high place beside the official road and sat down.

“Second son, look at this official road. Is it lively?” Zhao Huaishan asked.

Zhao Long nodded when he heard his father’s words.

“It’s lively! If it weren’t lively, there wouldn’t be so many people here!”

“You see that stall selling pancakes?! Do you know that family?” Zhao Huaishan pointed at a place and asked.

“Yes, I know him! He’s from our village!” Zhao Long nodded.

“Do you know how early he woke up in the morning to set up a stall on the official road to sell pancakes?” Zhao Huaishan asked.

Zhao Long shook his head and said that he didn’t know.

Zhao Huaishan said, “He woke up at dawn! As long as it doesn’t rain at night, he will definitely be one of the last few to pack up and leave. Some will even light oil lamps to make pancakes when they see people coming!”

Zhao Long still didn’t understand why his father had dragged him here to see these things today.

“You didn’t eat breakfast this morning, did you?! Let’s go. I’ll treat you to breakfast today!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Huaishan stood up and walked towards the official road.

Seeing this, Zhao Long quickly followed.

Although he didn’t know what his father was up to, Zhao Long still followed.

Soon, the father and son arrived at the stall selling pancakes.

“w.a.n.g Guang, give me two omelets!” Zhao Huaishan shouted with a smile.

w.a.n.g Guang asked worriedly, “So it’s Mr. Zhao! Why are you willing to eat omelets today? Didn’t you say that omelets were too greasy and you’re uncomfortable with eating them?”

“Don’t worry, I’m going to my granddaughter’s place to eat sliced noodles later. I’m buying omelets for my son!” Zhao Huaishan said happily.

As Zhao Huaishan’s son, Zhao Long felt a little embarra.s.sed when he saw that everyone was looking at him.

“Hey, you’re already so old, but you still need your father to buy omelets for you?! Shouldn’t you buy omelets for your father?” A person who set up a stall to sell roasted sweet potatoes teased.

Zhao Long wanted to say that he could buy omelets for his father, but unfortunately, he was short of money.

“As parents, we want our children to live a good life! My son is already so old, but in my eyes, he’s still a child, so don’t tease my son. This is my sincerity to my son!” With that, Zhao Huaishan took out the money from his pocket and paid for the omelets.

w.a.n.g Guang was very agile. As soon as he heard that the omelet was for Zhao Long, he quickly made dough.

“w.a.n.g Guang! Is your daughter getting married? You only have one daughter, so you must have prepared a dowry, right?” Zhao Huaishan thought of something and chatted with him with a smile.

“That’s right! You still remember this?! She’s getting married in two months! I’m thinking of working harder to earn more money in the next two months so that I can prepare more dowry for my daughter! I only have one daughter, so I naturally have to think for her sake. If a girl has more dowry, she’ll be more confident and won’t have to be bullied by her in-laws in the future!” w.a.n.g Guang said with a smile.

Zhao Huaishan gave him a thumbs up.

“You’re really a responsible father! That’s how it should be!”

w.a.n.g Guang said, “That’s right. I definitely dote on my own daughter! As her father, I don’t have much ability, so I can only try my best to give her better conditions. I hope she can live a better life in the future!”

Zhao Huaishan asked again, “That’s how parents are. They’re willing to do anything for their children. But won’t your son have any objections?”

w.a.n.g Guang said, “If he has any objections, I’ll break his legs. I’ve raised him all these years. As for his livelihood, he can earn it himself! A boy is different from a girl.. A boy has to be independent! If he doesn’t earn money, how can he support his wife and child?”
