This time, Gu Zixiao was genuinely angry. She stood there glaring at Lan Yao, then gave her a serious warning.

"Lan Yao, if you ever say something like that again, I'm really going to ignore you."

Lan Yao thought for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Okay, I won't say that again. Can you please stop being angry?"

Gu Zixiao protested: "Why do you need to think about it? Can you even think about something like this? You should agree with me immediately."

Lan Yao smiled and said, "I'm imitating how you used to be."

Gu Zixiao: ...

He already knew that Lan Yao was a bit petty and had a particular fondness for revenge.

He hadn't felt it before, but now, at this moment, he finally did.

He was utterly speechless. "...You're really something else."

Lan Yao: "It's so-so."

Gu Zixiao: "So, you want me to empathize? Then your plan is perfect, I really do empathize. I swear, I'll never do that again. So what about you?"

Lan Yao: "Then I definitely won't say that again in the future, so, darling, don't be angry anymore, okay? Today is our first day of officially getting our marriage certificate, aren't you excited and happy?"

Gu Zixiao still didn't give up, and took Lan Yao's hand again to confirm, "Seriously, you can't say anything about getting a divorce again. Otherwise, I'll really be heartbroken."

Gu Zixiao is really serious about the topic of marriage.

Since he wants to marry Lan Yao, he must be thinking about spending his whole life with her. Who would want to divorce the person they love for no reason?

No, that's not it. It's just that someone's mentally ill. Do you really have other ideas?

He's not that kind of person; he's always taken relationships very seriously.

Lan Yao: "Okay, I understand. I really, really, really won't say such things again."

I know what you mean and what you don't.

If you say something too many times, it will naturally hurt the relationship between two people.

He was just trying to lighten the mood a bit.

Since he's already thinking about marrying Gu Zixiao, why would he still have thoughts of divorce?

He takes relationships very seriously, okay?

Lan Yao's answer this time was sincere, which reassured Gu Zixiao a lot about the new recruits he had brought up.

Grandma Yu watched from the side as the young couple argued about something for a long time. He shook his head and chuckled.

He could tell, of course, that Lan Yao was just teasing Gu Zixiao by bringing up the topic of changing licenses.

She also knew that the topic of Lan Yao made Gu Zixiao, who was overjoyed after receiving her marriage certificate, feel sensitive and uncomfortable.

He felt that Lan Yao was both right and wrong.

My feelings are quite complicated.

So she said from the side, "How long are you two going to stand here in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau? There are people coming and going, and everyone's staring at you two. People who don't know better might think you two want to go back into the Civil Affairs Bureau..."

Gu Zixiao, with her sensitive skin, immediately bristled upon hearing this. "Grandma Yu, if you say that again, I'm really going to get angry."

Grandma Yu coaxed with a smile, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. So, my dear darlings, shouldn't we go home and celebrate? What delicious food and drinks should we make tonight?"

Lan Yao: "We can let Chef Gu take charge of the kitchen and decide on the recipes."

Gu Zixiao slowly emerged from the shadow of her divorce and smiled at the two ladies, saying, "You two, have a good time tonight."

Grandma Yu: "On this joyous day, are you still going to find your friends?"

Grandma Yu was referring to Gu Zixiao's comrades-in-arms.

Gu Zixiao shook her head. "Why did you invite them over? Today I just want to have a nice meal alone with my darling."

He automatically ignored Grandma Yu, and Grandma Yu noticed but didn't take it seriously at all.

“Alright, in that case, let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative and see if there’s anything we can buy,” Grandma Yu suggested.

If the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have it, then they'll have to go there themselves. They should still take a look.

I wonder if there are still people in the black market at this hour?

So the three of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative first, and sure enough, at that time, the cooperative was almost out of stock.

On the counter, there were only some leavened cabbages. And a few small potatoes. Over there, all that was left were large pork bones with hardly any meat and two sets of large intestines.

There's been a lot of pork intestines delivered today. Even in this era without oil, some people want to buy pork intestines to enjoy at home. However, pork intestines are really troublesome to prepare, and most people don't like to cook them.

If it's not prepared properly, this stuff will smell bad, and it's really not appealing to eat.

Gu Zixiao wasn't particularly fond of this stuff, but when Lan Yao saw him, her eyes lit up, and she tugged at Gu Zixiao's sleeve, pointing to the two pieces of fatty intestines on the cutting board.

"Let's buy this and take it home."

Gu Zixiao looked at Lan Yao with a complicated expression, and asked uncertainly, "Are you really, really going to buy it?"

On the very day we got our marriage certificate, should I just buy two servings of pork intestines to take home?

Gu Zixiao didn't understand at all and seemed hesitant.

Upon hearing Gu Zixiao's words, Lan Yao knew his hesitation, so she asked with a half-smile, "What, you're not happy?"

Gu Zixiao: "...No. Buy it."

He asked the butcher to pack it up for him. It wasn't expensive; two of them would only cost a little over ten cents, plus two big bones.

Gu Zixiao carried the things and walked behind, while Grandma Yu and Lan Yao walked in front.

Grandma Yu couldn't help but laugh when she looked back at Gu Zixiao's dejected appearance.

"It seems he doesn't like pork intestines."

Lan Yao: "I can see that now. I never expected this."

It's not that I didn't expect it. I guess most normal people don't really like fatty intestines.

The main problem is that this stuff is difficult to handle; if not handled properly, it can taste very unpleasant.

Grandma Yu: "I didn't expect you to like this kind of thing?"

Lan Yao: "It's very hot, but the food is still quite delicious once it's prepared properly. I once tried spicy pork intestines by chance, and it was especially delicious."

Grandma Yu: "I see."

Although Gu Zixiao was walking behind, he had been listening intently to the conversation between the old man and the young man in front of him.

Naturally, he remembered what Lan Yao had said.

So when they arrived at the black market, Gu Zixiao saw that there were still large intestines on the meat stall, so he bought two more.

Grandma Yu couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle when she saw it.

Gu Zixiao was so disgusted just now, but Lan Yao likes it. Regardless of whether he likes it or not, he will prioritize Lan Yao's preferences.

Grandma Yu was quite pleased with this.

On their way back, they remembered they hadn't bought any wedding candy, so they went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and bought some cheap candy.

After returning home, Grandma Yu took the initiative to distribute wedding candies to families she was on good terms with, while Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao went home to clean pig intestines.
