“I think she’s doing this on purpose to conceal her identity, so what she told you probably isn’t the truth,” Lu Zhixia said, offering her opinion. “There’s a high probability that she’s committed a serious crime before. You might want to contact a few law enforcement agencies nearby and see if you can get any results.”
After hearing this, Zhou An'an suddenly understood. "Sister, you're absolutely right. How come I didn't think of that? It's very possible that she has already committed a crime, otherwise she wouldn't be rambling on and on about random things."
Old Master Bai came over carrying a teapot, with several cups in his left hand.
"What are you two girls talking about? You seem to be having a great time?"
"Grandpa, are you done?" Lu Zhixia quickly moved aside and put the stool down for her grandfather.
"We just chatted about the case briefly."
"Can we just chat about this?" Old Master Bai sat down and looked at the pretty little girl sitting opposite him. She was a very lovable child.
"Xiao Zhou doesn't look very old. How old is he this year?"
"I'll be 23 this year."
"You don't look like you've ever been married. Do you have a boyfriend?"
"I don't have a partner yet, and I don't want to find one." Zhou An felt that being alone was liberating, so why should he find someone to tie him down?
Having children becomes a constraint for both of you, and life just gets more and more boring.
"Why don't you want to look?" Old Master Bai asked casually.
Lu Zhixia picked up the teapot and poured tea for them. Finally, she poured herself a cup, took a sip, and indeed, the taste of this good tea was different.
It has a pleasant aftertaste and no bitterness at all.
Zhou An'an thought for a moment and said, "The main problem is that marriage isn't very flexible. You know, with my job, if I get busy, I'll be working day and night. How will I have time to take care of someone?"
Grandpa Bai thought to himself, "That makes sense. If a woman has a career, she definitely won't have the same amount of time as a woman who stays at home all day to take care of her family."
"However, children should still get married if they are meant to."
"And then there's the question of what people get out of marriage," Zhou An'an laughed.
Grandpa Bai smiled and said, "It's good that you're so open-minded, child. Actually, you don't necessarily have to get married in this life. If you're not happy, being together is just wasting time. But if you're happy, every minute and every second will be blissful."
After hearing this, Zhou An'an had an epiphany: "My parents love each other very much. They only have one daughter, me. It's because my dad doesn't want my mom to go through the pain of childbirth again."
With her hands supporting her chin and resting on her knees, she asked, "Why do you say it's women who give birth, and not men?"
Xiao Zhang had just come out when he heard this. He didn't see where he was going and tripped over a bench, almost falling. The captain helped him up and he was able to stand up.
"You have to watch where you're going. What kind of behavior is it to be so careless and sloppy?"
"Okay, Captain, I understand." Xiao Zhang was still replaying Zhou An'an's shocking words in his mind.
Why can't a woman giving birth enable a man to give birth?
This question is so profound that he couldn't help but walk over to it.
Old Master Bai stroked his beard. "In this vast world, everything is interconnected. I cannot answer your question."
Zhou An'an laughed, "Grandpa, even you have questions you don't understand."
The chicken in the yard cackled, indicating that it had laid another egg.
Old Master Bai chuckled, then shook his head slightly.
"Just like the question of whether the chicken or the egg came first, who can say for sure?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhou An'an said, "The chicken must have come first, then the egg."
They all laughed after hearing this; indeed, it was a difficult question to answer.
Xiao Zhang said, "I've already chopped the meat."
Lu Zhixia stood up. "Then I'll go inside and prepare the filling, and we'll make dumplings later."
Zhou An'an clapped his hands happily, "Yay, we'll be able to eat dumplings in a little while!"
Xiao Zhang was also very happy and excited, but in order to maintain his image, he decided to eat less tonight so as not to scare the girl.
Lu Zhixia quickly prepared the filling and called them inside to make dumplings. There were even more people making dumplings than last time.
As long as there were enough dumpling wrappers, everyone quickly made dumplings, and in the blink of an eye, they finished making them in just over ten minutes.
Zhou An'an looked at the dumplings she had made, and compared to everyone else's, they were really ugly, so she laughed and said,
"It looks too ugly for me to make dumplings myself and eat them by myself."
Lu Zhixia pinched each dumpling, "They're fine, as long as the filling doesn't leak out. After all, this is your first time making dumplings."
The water in the pot was boiling, so I just threw the dumplings in to cook.
Because there were so many people, we decided to cook all the dumplings before serving them.
Lu Zhixia said, "Let's eat the cold food first, and we can eat the hot food later."
Zhou An'an said, "I want to eat it hot. Everyone says dumplings should be eaten piping hot."
Lu Zhixia promptly placed a hot plate in front of her, saying, "You can have it if you want, but be careful not to burn your lips, it's fresh out of the pot."
Zhou An'an swayed his body happily, and Xiao Zhang did the same, his eyes narrowing into slits after eating the dumplings.
Lu Zhixia found their expressions hilarious; it would be great if they could be together.
At first, Xiao Zhang could pretend to eat slowly, but then he noticed that the dumplings on the table were disappearing very quickly.
In particular, Zhou An'an ate dumplings just as fast as him, so he also sped up his movements.
Finally, there was only one dumpling left on the plate in front of them, and their chopsticks touched each other when they reached for it at the same time.
Then they both moved their chopsticks away at the same time, and they were both quite embarrassed because they had eaten the most.
