The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

It was already past six o'clock in the evening when the car stopped at the entrance of the courtyard house at No. 93.

Li Kaixin got out of the car, went around to the back of the truck and started unloading things.

Although most of the cargo was handed over to Director Xie, there were still five or six hundred pounds left.

In the front yard of No. 93, Aunt Zhao saw a car parked at the gate and began to peer over cautiously.

Upon seeing that it was Li Kaixin, she immediately shouted excitedly towards the backyard, "Xiuli, your Kaixin is back!"

Then, with a broad smile on his face, he quickly came out from the courtyard to greet her.

"Happy! I was wondering why the car was parked in front of our compound. Turns out it's you! How was your trip to Inner Mongolia? You must be exhausted!"

"It's alright, Aunt Zhao, I'm not too tired," Li Kaixin replied with a smile, continuing to move things.

"Wow!" Aunt Zhao suddenly exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise. "This, this..."

Li Kaixin was startled by the sudden shout and almost dropped the yellow sheep in his hand.

He turned his head and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Aunt Zhao, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Aunt Zhao calmed down. "Kaixin, what did you do in Inner Mongolia? You brought back so much stuff!"

"You mean all this!" Li Kaixin shook the gazelle in his hand and explained, "Some of it was a gift from friends over there, and some I got from hunting."

Aunt Zhao looked thoughtful, then asked, "Kaixin, so you're saying Inner Mongolia is quite wealthy?"

"Not entirely, they are short of food over there," Li Kaixin replied, taking down a bag containing beef jerky. "But, as for beef and mutton, one meal a day shouldn't be a problem."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao was completely stunned.

She simply couldn't imagine what a wonderful life it would be to be able to eat meat every day.

In the courtyard, the parents and younger siblings hurried out, followed by a group of neighbors from courtyard number 93.

"Big brother!" Li Kai hugged Li Kaixin's leg tightly. "You're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

Li Kaixin looked down at his younger brother and gently moved his thigh: "Alright, alright, loosen your grip first, your older brother is still holding something."

"Oh, oh!" Li Kai let go, but his eyes kept glancing at the things. "Big brother, what delicious food did you bring back?"

"Xiao Kai, once you move it back, you can open it and take your time to see for yourself."

Li Xiaoxiao, the younger sister who was walking behind, also came over, tilting her little face up and asking sweetly, "Big brother, are you tired these past few days?"

"Not tired, not tired!" Li Kaixin looked at his younger sister and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, have you missed your big brother?"

Li Xiaoxiao, the younger sister, nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling.

At this moment, Qin Xiuli, the mother, stepped forward, took the heavy bag from her eldest son's hand, and scolded him, "Kaixin, you child, you went out and bought so much, aren't you tired?"

"Mom, you've misunderstood me this time." Li Kaixin smiled and pointed to the things he had just moved down. "Most of these were gifts from my Mongolian friends over there."

"These were all gifts from others?" Mother Qin Xiuli was clearly stunned for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the pile of things, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Looking at the pile of things, Li Mingde, the father, twitched his lips: "Kaixin, you didn't exactly empty our Mongolian friend's house this time, did you?"

"Dad, what are you saying?"

Li Kaixin was both amused and exasperated. "I just treated someone's illness, and they felt bad about it, so they kept trying to give me money, and I couldn't refuse them."

Although his father, Li Mingde, was somewhat surprised, he accepted the statement.

Li Kaixin glanced at his watch: "Mom and Dad, let's move the things inside first. I still need to return the truck to the transport station!"

"Okay!" Father Li Mingde stepped forward and picked up a sack. "You don't need to worry about these things. Your mother and I will carry them slowly. You should go return the car first!"

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao and the other neighbors from courtyard number 93 all chimed in:

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm so happy, we're still here!"

"We'll lend a hand, and we'll be done moving it in no time!"

"Go and do your thing!"

Seeing this, Li Kaixin didn't refuse anymore. He thanked everyone and got into the car.

Once the car had driven away, the neighbors of No. 93 Courtyard got busy.

They all had smiles on their faces and were very quick and efficient.

They all knew in their hearts that a portion of this money would definitely be allocated to them at a low price.

In no time, more than a dozen people in the yard carried all the five or six hundred pounds of things into the main house of Li Kaixian's family.

What they didn't notice was that several middle-aged women were craning their necks to look in their direction from the gate of No. 94 courtyard diagonally across the street.

After seeing that everything had been moved inside, the group turned around and headed towards Aunt Ye's house in their own yard.

Just as Aunt Ye picked up her rice bowl in courtyard number 94, there was a knock on the door.

"Sister Ye! Sister Ye!"

Aunt Ye put down her chopsticks, got up, and opened the door. She saw three middle-aged women standing outside, all looking anxious.

"Guifen, what's wrong with you two?" Aunt Ye asked, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

Yu Guifen spoke first: "Sister Ye, Li Kaixin is back today."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Ye replied irritably, "So what if he's back? Why are you all making such a fuss? I'm warning you three, don't bother him."

"We saw that he brought back a lot of good stuff this time! Didn't the people from No. 93 courtyard say last time that he could share some with them at a low price?"

"Now that we're neighbors, we'd like to ask you to put in a good word for us and maybe you could share some with us too?"

"Yes, yes! I saw three skinned, fat sheep!" another older woman chimed in.

Aunt Ye didn't reply immediately. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment before raising her head and saying, "Don't tell anyone when you go back. Let me think about it carefully."

Upon hearing this, the three middle-aged women nodded sheepishly and left.

Aunt Ye stood at the door and sighed softly. To be honest, it was really difficult to tell Li Kaixin about this.

The three middle-aged women walked to the courtyard gate. Aunt Qian, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but speak up: "Do you think Sister Ye will speak up for us or not?"

Yu Guifen and another older woman exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

Aunt Qian's eyes darted around, and she suggested, "Why don't we talk to everyone in the courtyard about this and discuss it together?"

"Let's not," Yu Guifen said hesitantly. "Didn't Sister Ye tell us not to make a fuss about it?"

"What are you afraid of?" Aunt Qian encouraged. "It's just talking to everyone, it's not like we're going to go and confront that kid."

"No, you can go tell her if you want," Yu Guifen refused directly, then turned and left the courtyard.

Another older woman didn't want to get involved and followed Yu Guifen.

Aunt Qian stood there, watching the two figures walk away, and muttered a few curses under her breath.
