“I think it’s feasible, it’s just a bit fuel-intensive, but now that we have Director Yu’s connections, there’s nothing we can’t get.” Su Lan said confidently, “Xiaxia, we have to thank you for saving that person that day, otherwise we wouldn’t have such a relationship.”

Gu Lingxiao raised an eyebrow, grasping the key point, "Comrade Lu, what have you done this time?"

This woman has a very outgoing personality and seems to be fearless; she's the type to act on impulse.

Such people are prone to being taken advantage of.

Lu Zhixia looked at him, her little expression as if she had done something she shouldn't have.

"Here's what happened. The day before yesterday, we were queuing to buy pork when we encountered a troublemaker. He had a knife in his hand, and then Xiaxia grabbed a basket and, taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, put it over his head!" Su Lan said, gesturing as she spoke. "Oh my, I still remember that scene vividly; my heart is still pounding!"

"Sister Lan, do you have to praise me like that!" Lu Zhixia nudged her with her elbow. "At the time, I saw Director Yu confronting the thugs. If I had to rush in alone, I definitely wouldn't have dared to."

"It's good that you know this. Next time you encounter something like this, think twice before you act," Gu Lingxiao said. "Remember, you only have one life."

Lu Zhixia turned to look at him again; his expression was very serious.

So he took back his rebuttal, saying, "I understand. I'll consider the situation next time and definitely meddle in other people's business only when it's safe to do so."

Gu Lingxiao couldn't get anything done to her, so he could only say, "I'll teach you a few self-defense moves, which might come in handy at a crucial moment."

Lu Zhixia thought this was good. In fact, after her rebirth, she discovered that her reaction speed was many times faster than before, which seemed to be a kind of cheat code.

"Sure! You can teach me when you have time."

Looking at how the two of them interacted, Su Lan felt a pang of regret once again.

It's outrageous that two such a perfect match can't be together!

Lu Zhixia had no idea that Su Lan had imagined so much. Looking at the mala tang on the table, only a small portion remained, as Xiao Zhang had eaten the rest.

After finishing his meal, he sat there burping incessantly, which shows how much he enjoyed it.

She considered this a success, and turned to Su Lan, saying, "If you want to make mala tang tonight, go ahead and make it. I'll make some sauce for you so they can all try it."

"Sure! That's exactly what I was planning to do."

Su Lan is very serious about her first business venture. She and Lu Zhixia have already agreed that she can work independently as long as she feels capable of doing it on her own.

Then she can go out and work independently. She'll have to set up her own stall then, and whether she makes money or not will depend on her own abilities.

She is now extremely grateful that she rented the house to Lu Zhixia that day; otherwise, she wouldn't have had this opportunity.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Zhixia said to the two of them.

"We need to get going, or we'll be late today."

Gu Lingxiao nodded, then waved to Xiao Zhang beside him.

They stood up and walked outside.

Considering that her grandfather had never eaten mala tang before, Lu Zhixia packed a portion and took it to a restaurant to be cooked for him.

Since the elderly can't eat spicy food, they can choose salty food instead.

After they left, Su Lan looked at the empty house and felt as if something was missing.

Hurry up and tidy things up; the children and husband will be back in a little while.

——

Lu Zhixia got into the car, thinking to herself that if she ever had money in the future, she would definitely get a car so that it would be more convenient to travel.

Although I can't drive, I can learn when the time comes.

She didn't want to entrust her life to someone else's car; having been given a second chance at life, she wanted to take control of her own destiny.

They arrived at their destination quickly and got out of the car.

Xiao Zhang followed him down. "Captain, can I go to the restroom?"

Judging from his discomfort, Gu Lingxiao figured he must be taking a dump. This place was remote, and there really weren't many public toilets.

"Okay, you come with me, and come back after you've used the restroom."

"Thank you, Captain!" Xiao Zhang was flattered; the captain was easy to talk to today.

So the three of them went into the alley together.

Lu Zhixia was looking forward to everything that was about to happen. Her grandfather said that she would have acupuncture treatments throughout the day, and he would watch from the side.

It's a pity I don't have much time now, otherwise I could study other medical techniques.

The gate to the courtyard was still open. When they went inside, they saw the old man enjoying the cool shade under a tree.

Seeing that they had finally arrived, Old Master Bai stood up, and then noticed that Lu Zhixia was carrying something in her hand again.

"You silly child, I told you not to bring anything, why did you bring something again!"

"Grandpa, I'm going to make you something delicious. Don't you want to eat it?" Lu Zhixia asked with a smile. "You've definitely never tasted anything like what I'm making before."

"What?" Old Master Bai couldn't help but be curious, seeing that there were more vegetables in the bag than meat.

In his view, eating vegetables is nothing more than stir-frying or stewing; what flavor could there be?

"You'll see when I make it," Lu Zhixia said playfully.

Grandpa Bai laughed, "Alright, I'll wait for you to cook it before I eat. You guys came quite early today; I thought you wouldn't be here for a while!"

Seeing that young kid come out of the toilet with a happy look on his face, I thought, "That kid is interesting."

Who is this?

“It’s Xiao Zhang, who drives for me,” Gu Lingxiao said.

"This kid looks quite energetic and isn't very old," said Grandpa Bai. "Why didn't you bring him in yesterday?"

Gu Lingxiao said, "The car is parked outside, so he has to be responsible for watching it."
