Gu Lingxiao finally understood how Lu Zhixia felt. Sometimes, a mother's love is really unbearable. Hearing the door open, she knew her father was back.
"Hurry up and go out to see what my dad bought."
Cai Wei snorted, "I'll talk to you later." Then, belatedly realizing she shouldn't have said that, she turned around, "No, wait, I'll have your dad talk to you later. I was really confused today; how could I say something like that to you?"
Turn around and leave quickly, as if you had never said anything.
Seeing his mother's flustered state, Gu Lingxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud; the old lady was becoming more and more amusing.
Because of the birth of her child, the mother smiled more and more, and she looked younger.
He turned to look outside, and a gentle breeze blew in from outside.
He thought of his brother; if only he were here!

Time flies, and another New Year has arrived in the blink of an eye.
The restaurant did well this year. Lu Zhixia tallied up the accounts and, according to the agreed-upon profit sharing, gave Su Lan two thousand yuan.
Seeing such a large sum of money in her hand, Su Lan's smile never faded; this was the money she and her husband deserved after a year of hard work.
"Great! With this money, we can buy a house again next year."
Zhou Cheng said, "This time let's buy a bigger one, not a two-bedroom, one-living-room house, it's still too small."
Su Lan nodded, "I'll do as you say, I'll buy a bigger one."
Lu Zhixia handed them the ledger, saying, "These are the monthly bills."
Su Lan quickly pushed it back, saying, "No need to look, who among us doesn't trust whom!"
Lu Zhixia: "What I want to talk about now is the new store."
They immediately perked up. The house had been bought two months prior and was now almost fully renovated, indicating that it would open for business next year.
Lu Zhixia said, "I'll be going to the new store when it opens, which means you'll be in charge of it, and of course, your profit sharing will increase."
Su Lan said, "Can you handle it? Otherwise, take Xiao Liu with you, and I'll train him later."
Lu Zhixia said, "That won't do. If the old shop suddenly runs out of staff, I'm worried you won't be able to handle it. It's better for me to train new people."
Su Lan, "Then what about your factory?"
Lu Zhixia said, "Grandpa and the others are in charge of the spice factory. I'll be in charge of the management, so there won't be any problems. Anyway, I won't have to stay there every day."
Su Lan admired Lu Zhixia's decisiveness. The past year had shown her so much. Thinking of the newly gifted hamburger and fries combo...
"What were you thinking? That hamburger is so delicious, and more and more people are coming to buy it lately."
Lu Zhixia said, "It was just a sudden inspiration."
But secretly, he thought to himself that this was also thanks to the benefits of his past life's memories.
Su Lan said, "Your brain is truly amazing. You come up with something on a whim and you actually pull it off."
Lu Zhixia thought about the upcoming Lunar New Year and wondered, "Can we still get together to celebrate this year?"
Su Lan said, "I was thinking the same thing even if you hadn't said it. I'll come over first thing tomorrow morning, and we can cook New Year's Eve dinner together and stay up all night."
Lu Zhixia thought back to last year when the children had a lot of fun staying up late on New Year's Eve. Now that they've grown a year older, she immediately thought of giving them red envelopes.
"Let's discuss this: how much money are you sending out in red envelopes this time?"
"Five yuan, please!" Su Lan said.
Lu Zhixia thought 5 yuan should be enough, "Then let's agree, I'll also give a 5 yuan red envelope, no more, no less."
Su Lan said, "Although we have money now, we can't let them spend it recklessly. We have to let them know how to make money."
Lu Zhixia thought about how the children would come to the store to help out during winter and summer vacations, and how she would pay them wages at the end of each month. It really made them more sensible.
As for how they want to use the money, that's up to them.
"They're all pretty sensible already, let's not go too far, shall we?"
Su Lan laughed, "Indeed, I didn't expect that raising a group of children together would be so successful."
Just as Lu Zhixia was about to speak, she heard the baby crying, so she went back into the room to breastfeed the baby. When she came out again, she felt completely exhausted.
Su Lan felt heartbroken seeing her like that. "When do you plan to wean them?"
Lu Zhixia said, "Actually, I don't have much breast milk left. I plan to wean them next month and let them eat complementary foods."
Su Lan said, "If you've thought it through, then it's fine. Starting complementary foods early is good for the baby's development. Actually, the nutrition in a woman's breast milk is only so much; it's just water that fills the baby up each time."
Lu Zhixia lowered her voice and said to her, "If I wean, I'm afraid my breasts will get too engorged and I'll feel uncomfortable again."
Su Lan said, "Bear with it for two days. If it gets really unbearable, ask your partner for help. In short, the child can't eat anymore!"
