The following day at noon.

Tang Qiuzhu held Jiang Jingxue's hand and said many gentle words, thanking her for her hard work on the trip.

Jiang Jingxue was completely confused.

Then she thought that it was probably because she had saved Gu Pingwei, so she didn't think much of it.

"Of course."

Tang Qiuzhu shook her head as she listened and pulled her to sit next to her.

"Come on, good boy, eat more. Look how thin you are, you need to eat more to get some nutrition."

Jiang Jingxue is tall, but in Tang's mother's eyes she is rather thin.

Jiang Jingxue herself didn't think so, but she wouldn't refuse her elders' good intentions.

Okay, thank you.

She originally wanted to call her Aunt Tang, but then felt it wasn't quite right. Asking her to suddenly call her Mom would make her even more awkward, so she simply stopped calling her that.

The lunch on the table was plentiful.

Pan-fried ribbonfish, boiled shrimp, steamed eggs, fish soup, and oysters.

Oysters were particularly noteworthy.

Because she ate late in the morning, Jiang Jingxue wasn't very hungry at the moment, so she didn't eat much.

Tang Qiuzhu kept piling food into her bowl, until the small bowl was almost overflowing, like a small mountain.

Jiang Jingxue had a bit of a headache from the bowl full of food, but she still ate it bit by bit.

When she was finally too full to eat anymore, she had to wave her hand.

Seeing the pain on her face, Tang Qiuzhu immediately brought over some plum juice.

The sweet and sour plum drink helped relieve the symptoms somewhat.

Tang Qiuzhu looked at her with eyes full of affection.

She rubbed her hands together, and facing Jiang Jingxue's clear and sharp gaze, she glared at her son with dissatisfaction. Gu Xinguo, standing next to her, didn't hold back his disdain and eye-roll at his son.

Gu Pingwei, who was eating with his head down, saw this and touched his face, thinking there was something dirty on it.

Fool!

How could he have such a foolish son?

Tang Qiuzhu shook her head and sighed, then said cautiously, "Is it because these dishes don't suit your taste? I'll make you something else tomorrow."

Jiang Jingxue shook her head: "It's delicious, I like it very much."

Seeing that she really couldn't eat anymore, Gu Pingwei took the leftover food and poured it into her bowl without any hesitation.

Facing the gazes of the three people at the table, he blushed slightly and calmly explained, "We can't waste food."

Jiang Jingxue licked her lips, and a hint of pink inexplicably crept up behind her ears.

She herself didn't notice, but Tang Qiuzhu saw it.

After lunch, Gu Pingwei and Jiang Jingxue had other things to do, so they left.

Before leaving, Jiang Jingxue had a large bag full of brown sugar stuffed into her arms.

"Take this brown sugar, mix it with water and drink it; it's good for women."

Good to... women?

Jiang Jingxue couldn't figure out what Tang Qiuzhu was trying to say.

"Take it."

After eating and taking things away, Jiang Jingxue looked down at the bags in her hands and called out to Gu Pingwei.

Gu Pingwei, who was walking ahead, turned around blankly when he heard the shout and responded.

Looking down at the woman behind him, Gu Pingwei didn't urge her to speak.

After a while, Jiang Jingxue said, "Don't you think your mom and dad were a little too enthusiastic today?"

Gu Pingwei was taken aback by her sudden question, and then explained.

"My mom and dad are usually very friendly, but they don't easily show enthusiasm to people. This is because they like you. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll talk to them about it later."

After his explanation, it really isn't surprising.

She was about to become the Gu family's daughter-in-law, so it was only natural for her to treat her well; she was probably overthinking it.

After sleeping for a while, Gu Xinguo had just gotten up and was thinking of going out for a walk when the phone rang.

After hearing the urgent telegram, Gu Xinguo was somewhat stunned.

Is this true?

Gu Xinguo hung up the phone in a daze, still somewhat disoriented.

"What happened? What's wrong?"

Having been married for many years, Tang Qiuzhu knew her husband well; things that could make him act like this usually involved matters at the national level.

Could it be that the government has made some new arrangements?

Gu Xinguo's hands trembled with excitement: "Yes, no."

Tang Qiuzhu was puzzled: "What do you mean? Is it yes or no?"

"Tell me quickly!"

Before Gu Xinguo could speak, a man rushed in excitedly from outside the door—it was their son.

Gu Pingwei's face was flushed, and his eyes were shining.

The father and son exchanged a smile, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

The father and son were overwhelmed with excitement, while Tang Qiuzhu was completely bewildered.

"Mom, it's been confirmed that the fishing village will be rebuilt, and the blueprints have already been sent over."

Pulling out the blueprints from deep within his military uniform, Gu Pingwei unfolded them on the table. Looking at the magnificent blueprints, he felt like he was dreaming; it was all too unreal.

This was an unexpected surprise, as Tang Qiuzhu had been influenced by her husband over the years.

This is a huge step forward.

Looking at the blueprints, Tang Qiuzhu still asked, "Has the small fishing village turned misfortune into a blessing?"

The Gu family father and son nodded excitedly: "Yes, this transformation will completely change the small fishing village."

Now that there are policies in place, the focus will definitely be on fishing villages.

They are in Shenzhen, but they are the first pilot city.

If successful, the future looks promising.

"Xue'er is such a visionary child," Tang Qiuzhu exclaimed.

The Gu family father and son were stunned for a moment, and then they were shocked when they realized what was happening.

The foresight to anticipate the government's actions regarding the Shenzhen stock market is truly commendable.

"Xue'er is indeed a good child."

The Gu family is truly lucky to have such a daughter-in-law; their simple-minded son has struck gold.
