The military vehicles were conspicuously parked right next to them.
It was hard for the old lady not to notice, so she asked.
"Girl, are the people on this bus looking for you?"
Lu Zhixia touched the little boy's face again. This child was so well-behaved and adorable. Then she said to the old woman...
"Yes, he's my friend who came to pick me up. Auntie, I'll be going now."
"Girl! Thank you so much for today!" the old woman replied warmly, thinking to herself that she was so lucky to have met this kind girl today, otherwise her child would have been in serious trouble.
She wanted to go back and tell everyone in the apartment building what had just happened, so that the little girl's good deed wouldn't have been in vain.
Lu Zhixia handed the bag to Gu Lingxiao first, and then got in herself. She noticed that there was an extra person sitting in front of the car, which made her feel a little strange.
Why is there another person?
Ma Chao turned around and greeted him, "Comrade Lu! Long time no see. I heard you're making something delicious today, so I came over to mooch a meal."
Lu Zhixia then realized what was going on, thinking that luckily they had prepared well today, and that having one or two more people to eat wouldn't be a problem.
"I cook home-style dishes. If you like them, eat more."
Ma Chao wanted to say something more, but when he saw Gu Lingxiao's gaze sweep over him, he immediately shut up and turned his head away.
Just as Xiao Zhang said, the captain has now become a jealous person.
The car started and soon we arrived at the alley.
They snatched the cloth bag containing the items and put their arms around each other's shoulders.
Gu Lingxiao walked silently beside her.
"Captain Gu! Are they all your team members?"
"It's not Xiao Zhang, it's Ma Chao!"
"Oh! If there are a lot of people next time, you should let me know in advance. Luckily, I prepared a lot of ingredients today, otherwise I was afraid there wouldn't be enough to eat."
"good."
Lu Zhixia turned her head to look at him. He was really tall. She was considered tall among women, but standing next to him, she looked a little small.
Zhang and Ma Chao, who were walking in front, were not very tall, only about 1.75 meters.
When they arrived at Grandpa's courtyard, Lu Zhixia found the key under the bricks and opened the gate. The two of them rushed in like monkeys.
Gu Lingxiao was used to all of this and turned to explain to her.
"They are all carefree people, you'll know that over time. They usually seem quite dignified and composed, but when they get mischievous, they're like seven or eight-year-old children."
Lu Zhixia smiled and said, "I think they're doing a good job."
Oh, right! I'm going to make stir-fried pork kidneys with chili peppers, braised pork intestines, sweet and sour pork, and an egg drop soup later. That'll make four dishes. Do you think that's enough?
"Cook more rice, they both have big appetites."
"Then add two more bowls of rice than usual!"
"Okay, you handle it."
The two discussed and arranged the next steps together.
Meanwhile, Ma Chao and Xiao Zhang, who had run into the house earlier, were secretly laughing at each other by the window. Their captain was doing a good job pursuing his wife; they really looked like a perfect match.
Lu Zhixia then started preparing the meal, beginning with cleaning the pig kidneys, a meticulous task.
Watching Lu Zhixia's knife skills, Ma Chao thought to himself, "My goodness, her knife skills are incredible! Even a professional chef wouldn't be this good." He then turned and went back inside, whispering to his team leader...
"Comrade Lu, your knife skills are really good. You must be able to cook anything. If you succeed in winning her over, you'll be living the good life!"
"I didn't marry her to cook."
"Then what for?"
"It's just simple liking, wanting to be with her, and besides, I can cook in the future, even though I can't, I can learn!"
Ma Chao sighed, thinking that this tough guy was indeed different from ordinary people when he fell in love. Anyway, if he were to get married, he definitely wouldn't interfere in his daily life, because he was just a rough and uncultured man.
How could he know so many intricacies? But the captain is usually a rough guy, how could he know so much? It's like he suddenly had a breakthrough.
He looked at me with a face full of questions, seeking an answer.
Gu Lingxiao instantly understood the question in his eyes, "Don't talk nonsense in front of her. There's no sign of anything happening yet, and I don't want her to dislike me or think that I'm taking advantage of her situation to pursue her."
Ma Chao patted him on the shoulder to indicate that he understood. He had come today just to get a meal, and if he spoke carelessly, he wouldn't have another chance like this.
Lu Zhixia is always in a good mood when she cooks. These people should all be able to eat spicy food, so she put some chili peppers in the dishes, which smelled delicious.

Song Weidong opened his eyes with a sharp pain in his chest. Looking at the white ceiling and walls, he knew he was back at the hospital.
I noticed a chip in the windowpane. Because it's summer and no one has replaced it, there are always flies in the house! I can't even get a peaceful nap during the day!
I'm so unlucky, I've been to the hospital twice in less than a week.
Seeing that her brother was awake, Song Lingling immediately asked with concern, "How are you? Is anything bothering you?"
What time is it now?
It was rare for Song Weidong to show his sister a kind look; he was feeling unwell and needed the care of his family most.
“It’s already past 7 p.m. I was in the ward with Mom when I heard the doctor say your name. That’s when I found out you’re in the hospital again, brother! What happened to you this time?” Song Lingling asked with concern. “Is it because things aren’t going well at work? If you ask me, work can be put aside for now. Your health is the most important thing.”
Song Weidong felt the care shown to him, patted his sister's hand, and still felt a little uncomfortable in his chest, but managed to sit up.
"It wasn't just work-related; I was hospitalized because of Lu Zhixia. That bitch sued me in court!"
