Lu Zhixia smiled happily, then softly called out, "Husband~"
As he shouted those words, Gu Lingxiao silently took a deep breath.
"Don't call me that voice."
Lu Zhixia laughed even more happily. This was the first time she had called him "husband," and she also felt that her voice sounded a bit too sweet.
Gu Lingxiao couldn't bear to go to the bathroom again. This alluring little vixen—once the child is born, she absolutely cannot get pregnant again.
He'd be driven crazy with frustration; he'd silently made up his mind about it!
——
Zhou An'an selected several dates but couldn't decide, so he took the chosen dates to Lu Zhixia for discussion.
Once inside the store, he took the red paper out of his bag, then hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.
"Sister Xia, please help me choose a date!"
Lu Zhixia took the red paper and looked at the date on it.
Zhou An'an: "June 9th, June 20th, and July 1st of next month are all good days for me, but I don't know which one to choose."
Lu Zhixia said, "I think June 20th is a good date. Let's register on that day!"
With someone making the choice for him, Zhou An'an made up his mind.
"Then let's go with that date. I'll let Xiao Wang know when it's time."
Lu Zhixia found an empty seat and sat down with her. It wasn't mealtime yet, and there were some customers eating, but not many.
Zhou An'an, "Your shop is doing really well; everyone knows about it now."
Lu Zhixia smiled, "I'm just doing small business, and I'm very content now."
Zhou An'an, "Besides last time, has anyone else caused trouble?"
Lu Zhixia shook her head, "You and Brother Biao come over every now and then, and the local thugs all know what's going on. They wouldn't dare cause trouble."
Zhou An'an smiled, "It's good that no one is causing trouble. It's worth it for me to come here in my uniform every time."
"The dumplings are here!" Su Lan placed two large plates of dumplings on the table.
"One is pork and onion, and the other is beef and celery."
Zhou An'an quickly grabbed her chopsticks, "It's delicious, all the food I love is what I love to eat."
Seeing how greedy she looked, Lu Zhixia also wanted to eat, so she picked up her chopsticks.
Su Lan said worriedly, "You just ate a plate of this half an hour ago, so don't eat it now!"
Lu Zhixia knew she couldn't eat anymore, so she put her chopsticks back and tactically drank some water.
"Okay, I'm not eating anymore. I'm going out for a walk in a bit."
Seeing how much he was craving the dumplings, Zhou An'an didn't dare eat too much herself and quickly finished the plate.
"Your dumplings are really delicious, even better than my mom's. Do you have some kind of secret recipe?"
Lu Zhixia: "There is indeed a secret recipe."
Upon hearing about the secret recipe, the other tables of guests glanced over.
Lu Zhixia said, "It's a special spice blend that I made myself, which brings out the flavor of the meat in the dumplings. It's all made from Chinese medicinal herbs."
Zhou An'an: "You also have some good stuff. Could you bring some back for me? I'll send it to my mom later."
Lu Zhixia said to Su Lan, "Go get a can for An'an."
Su Lan turned and went to the kitchen, returning with a metal can in her hand.
"This needs to be stored in an airtight container, and you must close it tightly after use."
"Wow, there's such a good thing!" Zhou An'an picked it up, admiring it. "How much should I put in each time?"
Lu Zhixia said, "It's like a regular bowl of dumpling filling. You only need to put in a small spoonful. If you want more, just add more gradually."
Zhou An'an said, "I think your stuff is pretty good. Why don't you open a factory and sell this stuff in the future?"
These words were spoken.
Lu Zhixia looked at the tin can and muttered to herself, "Indeed, spices have a wide appeal and are easy to preserve, so they're a good option."
Su Lan: "Can this thing be manufactured and sold?"
Zhou An'an: "Of course! The most important thing is that it's scarce. If we do it well and open up sales nationwide, the money will come flying in like snowflakes!"
Lu Zhixia thought what she said made sense. "Then I'll discuss it with Grandpa Bai later and see how best to do this."
Zhou An'an continued eating her second plate of dumplings with her head down. Her life was stable now, and she was just waiting to get her marriage certificate.
A group of people walked in, and one of them shouted, "Where is everyone? Eat!"
Su Lan immediately went over and asked, "We have dumplings and stir-fries. What would you like to eat?"
The man was about to speak when he saw a woman in a security guard's uniform eating something not far away. His tone immediately softened.
"Dumplings will do. Give us a pound of meat dumplings, and plenty of dumpling soup."
Su Lan looked at the four young men and asked, "Just one pound of dumplings?"
"Yes, bring more dumpling soup," the man said awkwardly. "Hurry up, we're hungry."
Su Lan then turned and went into the kitchen, telling her husband to hurry up and cook dumplings.
After the dumplings were ready, I first served them a bowl of dumpling soup.
Then I brought the dumplings to them, and I saw them first ladle out the dumpling soup, and then put the dumplings in.
Then they started adding seasonings, pouring in soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil like it was free. It pained her to watch, so she turned back to Lu Zhixia and whispered in her ear, "Tell me about this!"
"Those people only ordered one plate of dumplings, and then drank the dumpling soup."
Lu Zhixia glanced back and saw that they looked like they were doing hard labor. "If they want soup, just give it to them!"
Su Lan said, "Then I'll go get them another bowl of soup. Anyway, it'll be ready once it boils."
Lu Zhixia turned to Zhou An'an and asked, "So, how do you plan to decorate the new house?"
Zhou An'an said, "There haven't been any major changes. We've just made a few quilts and clothes. The two of us don't have high demands for daily life."
