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

On the other side, Li Kai, Li Xiaoxiao, Li Jun, and a few others had already gathered together.

Li Jun rubbed his stomach, looking miserable, and said, "Brother Kai, I barely ate anything, I'm still starving!"

"Yeah! Brother Kai, all the meat was eaten by that shameless Wu Yaozu family," Li Bing complained.

"You talk like you're someone else," Li Kai rolled his eyes at them, his tone not very friendly. "If it weren't for your family..."

He swallowed the rest of his sentence when he saw his pitiful cousin in front of him.

In fact, he knew in his heart that this matter could not be blamed on the brothers Li Jun and Li Bing.

Ultimately, they were just my second aunt's family members; they had nothing to do with them.

Although the children were some distance from the main table, Li Kaixin still heard their whispers.

He turned around and beckoned to his younger brother: "Xiao Kai, come here for a second."

Li Kai, who was some distance away, paused for a moment, then jogged over: "Big brother, what did you need me for?"

"You and Xiaoxiao didn't eat enough, did you?"

Li Kai nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

"Alright, alright, stop looking so gloomy," Li Kaixin said, patting her brother's arm with a smile.

Then she leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

"Okay, big brother!" Li Kai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he turned around and ran towards where his big brother had parked his bicycle.

At the main table, the others noticed and exchanged glances.

I don't understand how Li Kai, who was just looking dejected, suddenly became so energetic again.

Father Li Mingde put down his chopsticks and asked curiously, "Kaixin, what did you just say to Xiaokai? That kid seems like a completely different person!"

Grandpa, Third Grandpa, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle were all looking at him.

"It's nothing!" Li Kaixin smiled and explained, "I just had some snacks in my car. Xiao Kai wasn't full, so I let him have some to fill his stomach."

Upon hearing this, the father, Li Mingde, naturally knew that wasn't the case, but he still chuckled and scolded:

"That kid, all he does is eat."

Uncle Li Mingcai looked at his elder brother with gratitude upon hearing these words of help, but he felt quite uneasy inside.

Seeing this, Grandpa Li Hongtao quickly changed the subject: "Why are we getting off-topic again? Come on, let's continue drinking!"

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and clinked it against his third grandfather's.

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses, and the main table became lively again.

On the other side, Li Kai took the bag off the handlebars and quickly met up with Li Xiaoxiao and Li Jun.

"Brother Kai, what are you holding in your hand?" Li Bing leaned closer, his eyes fixed on the bag.

"Something good that can fill your stomach!"

Li Kai smiled mysteriously, then gestured towards the courtyard gate with his eyes: "Let's go, let's go out first, otherwise it won't be good if that family sees us."

Li Xiaoxiao, Li Bing, and the other two immediately understood. After glancing at Chen Pandi, they quickly followed Li Kai and quietly slipped out of the courtyard.

When the group arrived at the big tree at the village entrance, Li Kai opened the bag.

There's a lot of food inside, including White Rabbit milk candy, dried beef and mutton, walnuts and pine nuts, which add up to about four or five pounds.

"Wow! Brother Kai, there's so much delicious food!" Li Jun's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but swallow.

"Shh, keep your voice down," Li Kai said, grabbing a handful of milk candy and dried meat.

He first gave some to Li Xiaoxiao, and then gave some to Li Jun, Li Bing, and his cousin Li Mei.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Chen Pandi's family finally put down their chopsticks.

It wasn't that they couldn't eat anymore, but there was hardly any food left on the table, and they had even finished the soup from the meat dishes.

Seeing this, Grandma Zhang Xiaohua forced a smile and asked, "Mother-in-law, have you finished eating?"

"Alright, alright!"

Chen Pandi nodded, then wiped her mouth with her hand and continued, "In-laws, I'm so sorry, your food was so delicious that we couldn't control ourselves."

Although she said that, her face still showed a hint of lingering enjoyment, clearly indicating that she hadn't had enough to eat.

The little boy next to Chen Pandi was even more exaggerated; he couldn't even stand up and was leaning against the back of the chair, hiccuping.

"It's alright, it's alright, just enjoy your meal." Grandma Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand, feeling relieved.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Chen Pandi's eyes turned to the main table.

"Oh dear in-laws, why are you only drinking and not eating? What a waste!"

Her expression was exaggerated, and as she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the main table.

Second Aunt Wu Li reacted quickly, standing up from the stool and grabbing her mother's arm:

"Mother, stop it! That's a place for men to drink. What kind of behavior would you have there!"

"I'm just going over to take a look, I'm not going to do anything." Chen Pandi struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, and the smile on her face started to falter.

At the main table, six people had already put down their chopsticks and were all looking over.

Seeing this, Chen Pandi's eyes darted around, and she looked at her son beside her.

"Dazhu, how can you be so inconsiderate? Go over and offer Old Master Li a toast. Properly thank him for his hospitality today."

Wu Dazhu was picking his teeth when he heard what his mother said and was about to walk over.

Grandpa Li Hongtao's voice came from the main table: "No need for toasts. It's getting late, so please go home, mother-in-law!"

His words clearly implied that he wanted to send them away.

Uncle Li Mingcai couldn't sit still any longer.

He put down his chopsticks and quickly walked to his mother-in-law's side: "Mom, let me see you off."

As he spoke, he gestured to his wife beside him.

Second Aunt Wu Li immediately understood and tugged at her mother's arm forcefully: "Mom, let's go back first!"

"I'm not leaving, I still have things to discuss with you!" Chen Pandi struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so she simply stayed put.

Second Uncle Li Mingcai frowned and lowered his voice, "Mother, is there anything else? Can't we talk about it later?"

"No way!" Chen Pandi raised her head, determined not to give up until she got what she wanted.

"Alright, alright!" Second Uncle Li Mingcai had no choice but to compromise, sighing, "Mother, it's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the side and talk."

After saying that, without waiting for his mother-in-law's agreement, he and his wife each supported her on either side and walked towards the corner of the yard.

Wu Dazhu and his wife exchanged a glance, then pulled their child along and followed.

At the main table, Grandpa Li Hongtao watched this scene, snorted coldly, picked up his wine glass, and took a swig.

Seeing this, the third grandfather, who was sitting to the side, whispered, "Brother, calm down. You're family after all. Don't make things too awkward."

"Third brother, I just can't stand that kind of attitude!"

Grandpa put down his cup, his tone tinged with anger, "It's one thing to come here for a free meal, but you're never going to stop. Do you really think my family is easy to bully?"

"Dad, don't get upset, the second son will handle it," the father, Li Mingde, advised.

Third Uncle Li Mingtian quickly echoed.

Li Kaixin didn't interrupt, but her gaze inadvertently swept towards her second uncle.
