The adults finished eating quickly, but the little ones were still eating, dipping the dumplings in soy sauce and eating them one by one.

Su Lan quickly went to cook the remaining lid of dumplings, then came back and told them...

"I was thinking of making those dumplings with lids tonight, then having wonton soup with some cornbread. But it looks like that won't be enough. This little brat is really going to eat his father out of house and home!"

Zhou Cheng: "So, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Su Lan, "Let's make some potato soup, and then have some cornbread!"

Zhou Yong wiped the grease from his mouth. "Mom, can't you be generous this once and wrap some more?"

Su Lan: "I'm willing to spend the flour, but there's no meat left. What should I do?"

Zhou Yong: "We don't mind if it's leek and egg!"

Su Lan remembered there were still a few eggs in the basket, and looking at the expectant eyes of the children,

"Alright, I'll let you eat your fill today. Tonight we'll have chive and egg filling, and we'll eat all the flour!"

"Yay!" Zhou Bin shouted happily, "Long live Mom! Long live Big Brother! Long live Dad too!"

Looking in Lu Zhixia's direction, "Long live Aunt Xia! Long live Uncle Gu!"

Gu Lingxiao: "Then are you some kind of thousand-year-old?"

Gu Huailin, "Dad, what is a thousand years?"

Lu Zhixia said, "In ancient times, the emperor called himself 'Long Live the Emperor,' while princesses and princes called themselves 'Thousand Years'!"

Gu Huailin nodded and said, "Then we are the Emperors!"

Since Lu Zhixia was going to meet and confront him that afternoon, she figured she should bring the child along, so she told Gu Lingxiao...

"Let's bring Xiaolinzi along too!"

"Okay!" Gu Lingxiao immediately agreed, thinking to himself that if neither of them accepted, then they would break up.

Perhaps in a few years, or even a decade later, they will be older and accept it.

Su Lan asked Lu Zhixia, "What are you trying to do?"

Lu Zhixia whispered a few words in her ear, not wanting the child to hear them.

After hearing this, Su Lan finally understood what had happened. She immediately told Gu Lingxiao, "If you dare to let my sister suffer any injustice, I'll disown you as my brother!"

Gu Lingxiao said, "Sister Lan, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of them! I will never let them suffer any injustice!"

Su Lan thought that every family has its own problems, and she hoped that Lu Zhixia could get through this hurdle, after all, the two of them were such a good match!

After the children finished eating, they all went back to their rooms.

Lu Zhixia then noticed the black bag on the windowsill. "What did you buy?"

Gu Lingxiao said, "Look at my memory, I bought donkey meat, you should send some to Sister Lan."

Lu Zhixia opened the bag and saw a large piece of donkey meat.

"Great! Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground, you bought a good piece of meat! I'll go get a knife and cut some to take to Sister Lan."

After saying that, she turned and went out, took a kitchen knife from the cabinet, and came back to cut the meat, thinking to herself that she could make some donkey meat buns for her grandfather that evening.

In her opinion, the afternoon meal wasn't very good, so it would be better to prepare something else.

She cut off a piece, looked up at Gu Lingxiao and said, "I'm going to deliver the meat, I'll be back in a bit."

"Go ahead! I'll wait for you inside!" Gu Lingxiao sat on the bed.

Lu Zhixia rushed next door carrying meat and said to Su Lan, "Look what I brought you."

Su Lan looked at the piece of meat in Lu Zhixia's hand. Judging by its size, it must weigh at least a pound. It was bright red and clearly not pork.

"Where did you get this meat from?"

Lu Zhixia casually handed over the meat. "Gu Lingxiao bought donkey meat at the supply and marketing cooperative. He had completely forgotten about it. I asked what was in the bag before he remembered!"

Su Lan: "This donkey meat is a good thing. How much did you buy for me? It's such a big piece!"

Lu Zhixia said, "There's still such a big piece of dough left. I'm planning to make donkey meat buns tonight. Could you send me some dough? I'll come back again in a bit."

Zhou Yong walked over excitedly and said, "Mom, let's get steamed buns too!"

Su Lan thought that she still had enough in the bag, and if all else failed, she would borrow some from Aunt Pang. "Okay, let's take advantage of this today and have a good meal tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng was filled with enthusiasm, "Wife, then I'll have a drink tonight!"

Su Lan said, "Okay, but you still need to drink less." Then she turned to Lu Zhixia and said, "You can go ahead and get busy later! I'll send you the dough, I guarantee you can make some steamed buns today."

Lu Zhixia said, "I'll go out after I change my clothes."

Su Lan reached out and grabbed her arm. "I think we have some time now. Why don't you go out and get your hair done?"

Lu Zhixia: "What hairstyle should I get?"

Su Lan said, "Your hair is so black and shiny, why don't you get it permed? It would look great on you with your small face!"

Lu Zhixia touched her hair and thought that getting a perm would probably work.

"Then I'll go to the barbershop later."
