Chapter 375: Chapter 375 ReluctantI never expected that this idea would actually come true.

    However, regarding the two big restaurants of the Yu Family, both are now adorned with government signs and called state-owned restaurants.

    Kang Li, "Okay, I’m looking forward to eating the dishes made by Grandpa Xiao, but can Grandpa Xiao handle the kitchen by himself?"

    Old Lady Yu, "Don’t worry, everything is well-prepared. Your Grandpa Xiao is truly just stir-frying and then serving the dishes."

    Kang Li smiled, "Then I’ll help Grandpa Xiao with serving the dishes later."

    Old Lady Yu, "Good."

    Just as Old Lady Yu said, Old Man Xiao’s cooking skills were truly extraordinary. To be fair, they could definitely compare with the master chef of the state-owned restaurant.

    Whether it was the color of the dishes, the presentation, or the taste, Kang Li’s evaluation was top-notch!

    Although, to be honest, the flavor was slightly different from hers, it was nonetheless delicious beyond words.

    After 2:30 in the afternoon, Kang Li proposed to take her leave because Master Geng, the taxi driver, had already driven to the entrance of the Wen Family Courtyard. To avoid delaying him from picking up other passengers, and seeing that Xiao Ming Rui was obviously lethargic, apparently in need of a nap, Kang Li had no choice but to get up and say goodbye to the two from the Yu Family.

    "Li Bao, Grandma Yu will have someone install a telephone at home. Then Grandma Yu will call your home’s number and tell you our number," said Old Lady Yu as she walked Kang Li and her mother to the courtyard entrance, holding Kang Li’s hand. Hearing this, Kang Li nodded and responded with a smile, "Okay." She then heard Old Lady Yu say, "With a telephone, we can talk more often."

    Kang Li nodded, "Yes, that’s right."

    Old Lady Yu, "Take good care of yourself. You’re too thin, and you look frail. Don’t overwork yourself, understand?"

    Kang Li, "I take good care of my health, so rest assured, Grandma Yu. But you and Grandpa Xiao should take good care of yourselves, too. I will often bring the children to visit you."

    "If it’s inconvenient for you to come over, we two old folks will visit you."

    Gently patting the back of Kang Li’s hand, Old Lady Yu, despite looking reluctant, said, "Get in the car, the driver is waiting." Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Goodbye." Kang Li waved, and after she and Xiao Ming Rui got into the car, she looked out of the car window at the two elderly people and waved again, "Goodbye Grandma Yu! Goodbye Grandpa Xiao!"

    Old Lady Yu and Old Man Xiao waved back, "Goodbye."

    "The child has left." Watching the taxi drive away, Old Man Xiao said, "Let’s go inside."

    Old Lady Yu casually wiped the corner of her eyes, "I know, I know, I’m going in now. You always treat me like a three-year-old, afraid I’ll catch a cold from the wind."

    Old Man Xiao reminded her, "You know your health, if you want to see Li Bao more often, you need to take better care of yourself."

    "I don’t need you to tell me that; I’ll try to live another twenty or thirty years," Old Lady Yu exaggeratedly declared.

    Yet deep down, she knew that in one’s life, fortune and misfortune, life and death, can hinge on a single moment—nothing is certain.

    But she still hoped to live for many more years, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to rest easy...

    Back at home, as soon as Xiao Ming Rui and the kids hit the bed, they closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

    To prevent the children from catching a cold after waking up in their coats, Kang Li took off their thick cotton outerwear one by one, so that the kids could sleep more comfortably.

    ...

    The next day, which was the fourth day of the new year, after lunch around twelve o’clock, Kang Li and Xiao Ming Rui were cleaning up the kitchen when they suddenly heard a child’s heart-wrenching cries coming from the neighboring Wen family courtyard.
