Grandma Yu, despite her advanced age, didn't blush or feel hot-faced upon hearing this; she just found it strange.
Isn't it usually men who make it difficult for women to get out of bed?
Now, it's the women who make it hard for men to get out of bed. Isn't that strange?
However, that was a matter between the two of them, so Grandma Yu just watched and didn't bother to ask any further questions.
"What do you want to eat for breakfast?" Grandma Yu asked.
When Gu Zixiao is not home, whoever gets up first usually cooks the meal.
Lan Yao: "Today I'm making sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles."
The sauerkraut that Lan Yao used wasn't pickled recently; it was pickled more than two months ago, right at the end of summer.
The cabbage was grown by Lan Yao in her backyard. Normally, the harvest season for cabbage should be around October, and some early ones may be at the end of September.
Grandma Yu hasn't worked in the fields for a long time, and her memory is a bit hazy.
Anyway, Lan Yao planted some common vegetables in the market in the backyard. Since they couldn't finish eating them, they secretly sold some of them and pickled others to make salted vegetables.
Lan Yao's pickled vegetables are especially delicious. Eating some of Lan Yao's pickled vegetables for breakfast makes the meal even more enjoyable.
I don't know how Lan Yao made it, but Grandma Yu especially loves to eat it.
It's not just Grandma Yu who loves to eat it; Lan Yao will also send some to those who are close to Grandma Yu, depending on her mood.
Some people like it so much that they come over and exchange it with them.
Some people think, "It's just a pickled vegetable, why are you making such a fuss about it? You've developed a real attachment to it."
Grandma Yu retorted, "If you don't want to eat, then don't come. I don't know who it was that came over a few days ago wanting to freeload, and when my Lan Yao didn't give it to them, they got upset."
This actually turned into a joke once.
The gossip's family particularly loved the pickled vegetables Lan Yao made, so this gossip wanted to come and freeload off them. Lan Yao wasn't willing to indulge him and even said she wouldn't associate with this family anymore.
So much so that the family still fondly remembers the pickled vegetables Lan Yao made.
Grandma Yu has been eating it every day lately and she never gets tired of it.
However, Lan Yao wouldn't let Grandma Yu eat that every day. Grandma Yu is getting old, and eating salty food every day wouldn't be good for her health.
We've strayed a bit from the topic.
Grandma Yu felt that since Lan Yao came to live with them, the house had undergone a complete transformation.
Grandma Yu said to Lan Yao, "If you can, make some pickled cabbage hearts to eat."
The pickled cabbage hearts are tender and crisp. They taste best when you add some sesame oil, chili oil, and sweetness.
Lan Yao got some jellyfish from somewhere, washed it clean to remove a lot of salt, and then mixed it with shredded pickled cabbage. It tasted especially delicious.
Lan Yao smiled and said, "Okay. I understand."
So this morning, Lan Yao made sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles and mixed sauerkraut hearts.
After Lan Yao finished cooking, she went to the room to call Gu Zixiao.
Perhaps because of their marriage, Gu Zixiao wasn't as wary as before.
He subconsciously held Lan Yao's hand and rubbed it against her, with a hint of coquetry in his voice.
"Waaah, honey. I'm a little tired and sleepy, I don't want to get up."
Lan Yao bent down and picked him up, then picked up the water glass from the bedside table and coaxed, "Good boy. Have a sip, it'll be just right for your journey."
Gu Zixiao: ...
"...How can I be your precious baby if you treat me like this? It feels like you're treating me like a cripple. Honey, are you going to abandon me so soon? Am I not young and handsome enough anymore?"
He drank a large glass of water while holding Lan Yao's hand, and then he didn't know how Lan Yao massaged him.
Anyway, his back pain was gone, his legs weren't sore, and he no longer felt dizzy or lightheaded. He felt like he had come back to life.
"Hmm, now you've grown into a handsome young man. But, baby, you still need to exercise more. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting a new baby when you're old," Lan Yao said softly, stroking Gu Zixiao's cheek.
Gu Zixiao: ...
No, what did my darling say?
What did she say?!
Gu Zixiao glared at Lan Yao fiercely: "Don't even think about it. That's impossible."
It's just exercise, isn't it?
He can do it!
Absolutely no problem!
Gu Zixiao made up her mind to train hard and let her beloved know what she was capable of.
Lan Yao: "Okay. I'm really looking forward to it."
Lan Yao naturally took Gu Zixiao's hand and walked outside. Grandma Yu saw Gu Zixiao come out.
She looked at him with disdain: "You're a grown man, how dare you let Lan Yao coax you out to eat? Can't you come out to eat by yourself?"
Gu Zixiao leaned on his wife's shoulder and smiled, "No way. I prefer to have my wife coax me to eat."
Grandma Yu: ...
I can't bear to look!
I couldn't be bothered with her, but she helped set the table.
Grandma Yu: "Gu Zixiao isn't feeling well today, so does that mean she doesn't need to eat so much?"
Gu Zixiao: "My wife cooked today, how could I not eat so much? Besides, I'm feeling better now, so could you please stop nagging me? People who don't know better would think I'm some kind of scumbag."
To be honest, he was a kingpin in the army, mainly in combat.
As a result, when he returned home, he was just a nobody at the very bottom of the social ladder.
Grandma Yu said "Oh," and a smile played on her lips. She ladled a large bowl of soup for Gu Zixiao and then looked at Lan Yao: "What are the plans for today?"
Lan Yao looked at Gu Zixiao, who was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me?"
Lan Yao: "...Although we haven't had a wedding yet, we've already registered our marriage. Aren't you going back to see your parents?"
Gu Zixiao replied matter-of-factly, "Why are you looking at them? What does it have to do with them? I'm the one getting the marriage certificate, not them. Besides, I'm not going to live with them anymore."
Clearly, Gu Zixiao disliked the Gu family quite a bit. Ever since his stupid mother caused that kind of trouble, he rarely went back to the Gu family, for fear that something else might happen.
Grandma Yu looked at Gu Zixiao disapprovingly: "You're not an orphan! Even if your relationship with your parents isn't good, you've already registered your marriage with Lan Yao. As a man, you should take Lan Yao to meet your parents."
Otherwise, people will say that you don't acknowledge Lan Yao's identity, and others will look down on Lan Yao.
Gu Zixiao looked enlightened. "I see. I understand now. Don't worry, sir. After breakfast, I'll take Lan Yao for a stroll around the Gu family's place."
Grandma Yu was relieved to see that Gu Zixiao understood her intentions.
"Okay, then you should go and come back soon."
As for other matters, Grandma Yu wouldn't say a word.
Whether other people have a good relationship with the Gu family or not is Gu Zixiao's business.
