Aunt Wang pointed at her youngest daughter and said angrily, "You wretched thing, you're just causing trouble for our family during the New Year."
"You want to marry him? Go ahead and marry him! But if you really marry him, don't come back to the Wang family. From now on, I'll pretend I don't have a daughter like you."
Wang's youngest daughter looked incredulous and angrily shouted, "Mom, why are you doing this? Just because I didn't go on the blind date you introduced me to?"
What time is it now? Why should I follow your ideas? What you're saying is feudal dross.
You cannot stop me from choosing my own partner.
Lan Yao stood next to Gu Zixiao, looking at the man standing next to the youngest daughter of the Wang family. She clicked her tongue and whispered to Gu Zixiao, "The man the youngest daughter of the Wang family chose is no good."
Gu Zixiao pretended not to understand: "Oh, why not?"
"Wang's youngest daughter is fighting for their love, but her boyfriend just stands by and does nothing. He clearly has no sense of responsibility. If she stays with a man like that, she'll suffer in the future."
"I see." Gu Zixiao turned his head to look at Lan Yao and smiled slightly. "Looking at it this way, I'm still a good man. When my mother strongly opposed our relationship, I argued with her and stood by her side without hesitation, without letting her worry about anything."
Lan Yao said "Oh," and then asked, "So, you're asking me for a reward now?"
"Did I? I was just answering what you just said, so is there a problem?"
"No," Lan Yao smiled, her eyes crinkling. "But you really deserve praise. I like it very much. If we weren't out here right now, you should know what I might do, right?"
Gu Zixiao's cheeks flushed instantly, and he nodded shyly, "Yes, I know."
He pulled Lan Yao along, saying, "There's nothing interesting to see outside. Let's deliver the things to Grandma Yu's house first, then come back and check on the food in the pot."
"OK."
Lan Yao told Grandma Yu, and then followed Gu Zixiao, carrying a basket, to Grandma Yu's house first. They then put the things on the large stove in the kitchen to keep them warm.
The two of them quickly returned to their little home with their baskets. They arrived just in time, as the soup in the pot was reducing.
Even in the kitchen, the noise from outside could still be heard. Lan Yao sighed, "They really know how to make a lot of noise."
"Should I chase them away?" Gu Zixiao asked.
"Forget it, why should we meddle in their business? Besides, let them make a fuss and have some fun on New Year's Eve."
We can ask Grandma Yu about it when we eat later.
Gu Zixiao smiled slightly: "My Lan Yao is still the smartest."
"I accept your praise. But actually, when it comes to intelligence, I'm no match for you. Back in the day..."
Lan Yao was about to tell the story of how the two of them met on the train.
Even now, she still remembers Gu Zixiao's arrogant and annoying manner.
Gu Zixiao seemed to remember what he was like back then, and he subconsciously leaned over and kissed Lan Yao's little mouth.
When he realized what he had done, his face turned red. What was he doing?
This was the first time he had ever taken the initiative to do something like this!
Ahhhhh! Lan Yao, Lan Yao won't be angry, will she?
He opened his eyes and carefully observed Lan Yao, only to find that Lan Yao was just confused for a moment, which he found somewhat unbelievable.
However, Lan Yao quickly realized what was happening and took the initiative, grabbing Gu Zixiao by the back of the head and beginning her assault.
Gu Zixiao was defeated by Lan Yao's fierce offensive and could only let Lan Yao do whatever she wanted to him.
A moment later, Gu Zixiao was panting heavily as he hugged Lan Yao.
"You're so useless. I just kissed you for a little while, and you reacted like this?" Lan Yao said with some disgust.
"You call that a little while? You kissed me for almost ten minutes! And, and..." Gu Zixiao's eyes were full of resentment, "And you're way too good at it."
Gu Zixiao felt a little uncomfortable thinking about this. Did his wife already have so many test subjects before she met him?
He wanted to cry.
Lan Yao reacted quickly, raising her hand to flick him on the forehead: "What are you thinking? You're the only person I truly love."
Why am I so good at this? Of course, it's because I'm exceptionally talented.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run, right? She's seen far too many things like this.
Gu Zixiao: ...
I have some doubts, but I dare not say them.
Lan Yao could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his eyes!
Her eyes flashed, and her tone was unfriendly: "You don't believe me?"
"...No." He didn't sound very confident, but in reality, he was genuinely jealous.
"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. Besides..."
Lan Yao touched Gu Zixiao's beautiful face and said, "I only do this kind of thing with good-looking people."
As of now, I haven't seen anyone prettier than you. So, do you believe me now?
It's only because of Gu Zixiao that Lan Yao still has some patience. But if it were anyone else, Lan Yao would probably have slapped them across the face and kicked them.
Wouldn't she be better off with another man?
Upon hearing Lan Yao's words, Gu Zixiao's initial discomfort completely vanished.
He finally believed what Lan Yao had said.
After all, Lan Yao's eyes lit up when she said the last sentence, which shows how much she liked her face.
Gu Zixiao felt that in order to make his wife even more infatuated with him, he would definitely take good care of his face in the future.
Seeing that he believed her, Lan Yao snorted coldly, "Alright, the last two dishes are ready. Let's hurry up and take them over. I'm starving if we don't eat soon."
They finished preparing the New Year's Eve dinner and were busy until 2 p.m.
This shows just how long it took to prepare this meal. After finishing the meal, they still had to chop the filling and then make dumplings.
It's a pity there's no Spring Festival Gala now, otherwise I could pass the time while making dumplings.
Gu Zixiao happily served the last two dishes. Without Lan Yao's permission, she picked up the basket, pulled Lan Yao along, locked the front door, and returned to the Yu family home.
Grandma Yu had just finished making the last dish. When she saw Lan Yao and Gu Zixiao coming over, she said, "I was just about to ask you if you were done."
"It's ready. Let's put the food on the table first, and then we can set off the firecrackers."
This year, thanks to Lan Yao and Gu Zixiao, Grandma Yu's family has prepared plenty of charcoal and firewood.
So, Grandma Yu's house was exceptionally warm this year. They put the dining table on the kang (a heated brick bed), and the large round table was laden with ten dishes, which looked very appealing.
Lan Yao sighed inwardly, regretting that she didn't have a phone, otherwise she would definitely take a picture of this huge table of food and post it on her WeChat Moments.
