Of course, Gu Zixiao only dared to think this to herself.
He grabbed Lan Yao's hand and earnestly assured her, "Lan Yao, don't worry. If I ever betray you, just chop me up and throw me into the sea to feed the fish. With your abilities, I guarantee no one will find out."
Lan Yao nodded: "...Indeed."
Jade Pixiu: ...
"...This is terrible. Can't you two be a normal couple for once?"
Yu Suanpan: "I think it's fine. This way we can show that Gu Zixiao loves our master."
The jade pixiu wanted to argue, feeling that such a relationship was unhealthy.
However, the jade Pixiu thought about it and wondered why it, an outsider, was meddling in the young couple's romance.
Who knows, maybe the young couple will make up by then, and then it will be caught in the middle.
Therefore, Yu Pixiu decisively stopped getting involved in this topic.
Grandma Yu listened to the young couple's conversation with a sense of helplessness.
She said irritably, "How can you two say such unlucky things during the New Year?"
In addition, couples should respect and be considerate of each other when living together.
Besides, you two aren't married yet. And today is New Year's Day, so let's not discuss such serious topics.
Grandma Yu called to the two of them, "If you don't eat soon, this good food will get cold."
"Grandma Yu, I'll listen to you. I'll let Gu Zixiao go for now."
Gu Zixiao: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Gu Zixiao asked casually, "Would you like to drink soda first, or beer first?"
Lan Yao asked Grandma Yu, "Grandma Yu, you choose one first, and I'll drink it after you."
"Let's have some soda first. Drinking alcohol right after we come up isn't good for our stomachs. Let's fill our stomachs up a bit first, then we can drink."
“Okay. I’d like a soda.” Lan Yao naturally reached out her hand to Gu Zixiao.
These days, soft drinks are just plain soft drinks, unlike in the future when there will be many different flavors.
Not now.
So, after Gu Zixiao opened a bottle, he handed it to Lan Yao.
Lan Yao naturally handed it to Grandma Yu.
Gu Zixiao then opened two more bottles, giving one to Lan Yao and keeping the other for himself.
Lan Yao doesn't drink alcohol anymore, so he naturally follows in her footsteps.
Grandma Yu then held up the bottle and said, "Happy New Year's Eve."
Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao also raised their bottles together, bumping them against Grandma Yu's soda bottle.
Happy Lunar New Year's Eve.
Happy Lunar New Year's Eve.
The three soda bottles collided, the three men looked at each other, and chuckled as they took a sip.
It has a very sweet taste and a lot of aroma.
Grandma Yu took a sip and still felt a little unaccustomed to it, when Lan Yao put a big bone in her small bowl.
"Grandma Yu, please try it. Is my pickled cabbage and pork bone stew delicious?"
Just as Grandma Yu was about to eat, she heard Gu Zixiao say somewhat sullenly, "Lan Yao, you haven't put any food on my plate yet."
"Are you a little kid? Can't you move by yourself?" Lan Yao complained, but she was straightforward and put a big, meaty bone into Gu Zixiao's bowl.
Gu Zixiao beamed with joy upon seeing this: "I knew Lan Yao, you care about me the most."
As he spoke, he also placed a piece of braised pork on Lan Yao's plate.
Grandma Yu made this braised pork today, because she knows Lan Yao likes it.
He originally wanted to take advantage of New Year's Eve to get this dish.
However, Grandma Yu, that cunning old woman, struck first, and he failed in his attempt.
no way!
He'll have plenty of opportunities in the future.
Lan Yao smiled at him and then devoured the braised pork that Gu Zixiao had placed on his plate.
Salty, savory, and slightly spicy—Grandma Yu's braised pork is definitely the best.
While eating, Lan Yao didn't forget to praise her grandmother: "Indeed, Grandma Yu's braised pork is the best."
"I'm glad you like it." Grandma Yu smiled broadly. "Lanyao, your sauerkraut stew with pork bones is also delicious."
Gu Zixiao was unhappy, so he quickly served Lan Yao sweet and sour pork ribs and stuffed green peppers.
Lan Yao smiled gently at him and, being very considerate, ate the sweet and sour pork ribs first.
Gu Zixiao probably knew that Lan Yao liked sweet and sour dishes.
The sweet and sour sauce was just right, deliciously sweet and sour, and the ribs were stewed until very tender, almost melting in your mouth.
Lan Yao gave Gu Zixiao a thumbs up: "Delicious."
She then ate the stuffed green peppers that Gu Zixiao had mentioned. The green peppers had probably been pan-fried, and they already had a tiger-skin-like appearance. One bite revealed the subtle fragrance of green peppers and a slight spiciness, while the meatballs inside instantly burst with juicy flavor. The taste was just right, and her mouth was filled with the aroma of meat.
Lan Yao squinted as she ate.
To be honest, she never expected that Gu Zixiao was such an amazing person, even his cooking skills were so good.
It seems that he won't have to worry about his appetite when he's at home from now on.
Seeing that Lan Yao was enjoying her meal, Gu Zixiao felt very satisfied himself.
He didn't need Lan Yao to tell him what to do; he simply picked up the three dishes Lan Yao had made.
To be honest, the three dishes his wife made were also very delicious, so Gu Zixiao naturally put the three dishes Lan Yao made on his side.
Grandma Yu saw it but pretended not to. She was a mature adult and was too lazy to compete for favor with a brat like Gu Zixiao.
While Lan Yao had a joyful New Year celebration, the Gu family's celebration was rather somber.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Nan went to his father's place. He was originally going to ask Gu Zixiao why she hadn't come back today.
Before he could even open his mouth, his father shut him down.
