Liu Lai returned to the village carrying his things, now it was already past three. He went home, started the fire, then poured out a pound of wine, thinking he'd go to Liu Laoda's house for dinner tonight, that way he could see his son.
Actually, Liu Lai's house is really nice, thanks to his two friends who focused on building it. Although it's not a brick house, the foundation below is made of stones. The roof is also tiled.
Despite Liu Lai's usual scruffiness, his home is quite clean. The kang was heated, he sat down and ate a piece of sweet potato, knowing there wouldn't be much to eat at Liu Laoda's house, mainly because he wanted to see his son.
This way, Liu Lai visited Liu Laoda's house once every few days, the Liu Family already knew the reason, and they were used to it.
Liu Lai also goes to the city for a few days, doing speculative and profiteering business with two friends, he earns money each time.
