Jiang Zhuohua grinned and walked towards Zhou Laidi.

Just as she approached, Zhou Laidi turned around and went into the main room, completely unaware of Jiang Zhuohua.

Jiang Zhuohua's heart turned ice-cold in an instant.

He could only comfort himself in his heart: It's okay, it's okay, his wife didn't see him, and she still loves him.

It's just not obvious now; it will be better by tonight. Then his wife won't treat him like this anymore.

He still had an afternoon and a half left, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Jiang Zhuohua silently brainwashed himself.

"Eldest son, what are you doing? Does it take you this long to wash your hands?" Jiang's father, who was already sitting in the main room, shouted loudly at Jiang Zhuohua.

"Hey! Coming!" Jiang Zhuohua responded loudly upon hearing his father's call.

He quickly washed his hands and hurried towards the main room.

"Why are you so slow? The food will get cold if you order any later." Mr. Jiang said in a rough voice, sounding annoyed.

"I was thinking about something and didn't notice," Jiang Zhuohua explained softly.

Father Jiang waved his hand dismissively, not taking it to heart.

"Alright, let's eat! After you've eaten, get some rest. We'll be busy this afternoon." Jiang's mother shook her head and picked up her chopsticks.

"By the way, Xiaxia, did you leave any for Lao San and Wangwang?" Before picking up her chopsticks, Jiang's mother thought of Jiang Nanqiu and the two little ones who were still at school.

"I've kept it, so don't worry!" Jiang Anxia smiled slightly and nodded in reply.

The food at lunchtime today was really good: old chicken soup and young ginger rabbit.

The rabbit was the gray rabbit that Jiang Anxia caught a few days ago. After keeping it for a few days, Jiang Zhuohua killed it and chopped it into small pieces last night, just so they could cook it for lunch today.

When Jiang Anxia finished cooking these dishes, she ladled out a separate bowl for Jiang Nanqiu and the others before they were even taken out of the pot.

It's currently stored in the kitchen cupboard, completely covered.

Besides these, Jiang Anxia also scooped some old chicken soup into a lunchbox, which she planned to give to Gu Yanzhu.

But before taking it, she would still ask for Jiang's mother's opinion.

If Jiang's mother disagrees, then she will cook another pot in her space and give it to Gu Yanzhu.

Otherwise, it would be very impolite for Gu Yanzhu to have worked so hard for so long only to get nothing in return.

Even if Gu Yanzhu is her boyfriend, it shouldn't be like this.

Everyone knows to give thanks when they find someone, let alone Gu Yanzhu.

"Mmm... Xiaxia's rabbit meat is really delicious." Jiang Zhuohua picked up a piece of rabbit meat, tasted it, and couldn't help but praise it.

The rabbit dish was really delicious and flavorful.

Hearing the praise, Jiang Anxia blushed and smiled shyly.

If we're talking about taste, Jiang Mu would probably make these dishes much better than she does.

She still needs to learn more from Jiang's mother.

After the meal, Jiang Anxia's face was flushed red. It was all because of Jiang Zhuohua's compliments.

The most popular thing was when Jiang's mother couldn't stand it anymore and told Jiang Zhuohua to eat in peace, which allowed Jiang Anxia to escape Jiang Zhuohua's praise.

"Mom, I..." Jiang Anxia pulled her mother to her room after dinner, and was about to speak when her mother interrupted her.

"Alright, I know what you want to say. Go ahead and deliver it if you want! After all, we owe him a lot today, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to drink this old hen soup." Jiang's mother knew very well that the old hen was definitely not killed by Jiang Anxia.

Because Jiang Anxia didn't dare, she couldn't bring herself to stab him.

She had originally planned that if she couldn't have chicken soup at noon, she would just kill and prepare it when she got back in the evening.

Upon entering the main room, one would see a pot of chicken soup simmering in the middle of the table.

She quickly realized what was going on.

In addition, Gu Yanzhu was an hour late for work today. I heard that she took an hour off specifically for this purpose, but I don't know what she did there.

At the time, she really thought it was something important, but when she got home and saw the chicken soup on the table, she understood everything.

It seems that this important matter was to see her silly daughter.

"Mom, how did you know?" Jiang Anxia's eyes widened; she hadn't even said anything yet!

Where did Jiang Mu learn this from?

"Silly girl, I'm your mother. Alright, I've been working all morning, I'm really tired, I'm going back to my room to rest." Jiang's mother shook her head helplessly.

Silly little girl.

"Okay." Hearing that her mother was tired, Jiang Anxia immediately responded.

Jiang Anxia stood there watching her mother return to her room before closing the door.

She flopped onto the bed and rolled around happily.

It seems that now that she and Gu Yanzhu are together, Jiang's mother will not object.

As for the rest of the Jiang family, we can only take it one step at a time now.

All she could do was wish Gu Yanzhu good luck in the future.

Jiang Anxia suddenly sat up. She remembered something, something she had just been talking about but had forgotten the next second.

Now that Gu Yanzhu is home, isn't this the perfect time to deliver the chicken soup?

Without hesitation, Jiang Anxia stood up, opened the door, and went to the kitchen.

......

"Why are you here at this time?" Gu Yanzhu looked at the little girl outside the door, feeling curious.

"I brought you something!" Jiang Anxia smiled sweetly, holding up the lunchbox in her hand and handing it to Gu Yanzhu.

Gu Yanzhu chuckled, glanced around, and seeing that no one was around, grabbed the little girl's wrist and pulled her into the courtyard.

Then, using his free hand, he closed the courtyard gate.

"Alright, now no one will see us. Now, let's go to my room, okay?" Gu Yanzhu looked at the girl with a serious expression.

Jiang Anxia didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Yanzhu took the little girl's hand with one hand, took the lunchbox with the other, and led her to his room.

The main reason for doing this was to prevent Lin Bai from seeing them all sticky and mushy when he came out.

Jiang Anxia followed Gu Yanzhu's lead without resisting.

When she went in, Jiang Anxia looked around carefully and noticed that it was very different from when she first entered.

It was empty at first, but now it has a wardrobe, a desk, and a stool.

The room, which wasn't very big, was half full of things, but because it was well-organized, it looked clean and tidy, without any sense of clutter.

"Sweetie, sit down for a moment, I'll get you a glass of water." Gu Yanzhu settled the little girl down, picked up a brand new glass of water, and left the room.

Jiang Anxia sat at her desk watching Gu Yanzhu leave. Only after he was out of sight did she turn her gaze away.

Her eyes fell on the desk in front of her, and when she saw what was on it, the corners of Jiang Anxia's mouth unconsciously curled up.

She thought that after the college entrance examination was canceled, no one would read books anymore.

But now, looking at the books on Gu Yanzhu's desk, she smiled knowingly.
