The guesthouse was much cleaner than the old lady's house.
Ruan Yunxi and the others put down their luggage, rested for a while, and then went to the nanny's house for dinner.
The nanny prepared Ruan Yunxi's favorite dishes: braised pork, smoked fish, soy sauce duck, and clover.
The old woman spent quite a while in the kitchen preparing these dishes.
Seeing Ruan Yunxi eating meat with gusto and praising how delicious it was, the nanny's face lit up with joy. She kept putting food on Ruan Yunxi's plate and even told Gu Weizhou to eat more.
Gu Weizhou found the taste quite good and realized why his braised pork wasn't as popular as his nanny's.
This is the flavor that Ruan Yunxi likes.
In order to let Ruan Yunxi eat the dishes she likes, Gu Weizhou took the initiative to ask, "Granny, do you take on apprentices? I want to learn how to cook."
Ruan Yunxi asked curiously, "You already know how to do it, why do you need to learn?"
"I want to learn your cooking skills so that I can make it for you when we get to Lian City." Gu Weizhou's eyes were full of affection, his heart and mind filled with Ruan Yunxi.
The old woman smiled with satisfaction as she looked at Gu Weizhou, who knew how to care for his daughter-in-law so well.
Ruan Yunxi was touched and her heart softened. Her gaze was gentle and joyful: "I love what you make too."
"I want to make it taste even better." Gu Weizhou quietly took Ruan Yunxi's small hand.
Ruan Yunxi smiled and intertwined her fingers with his, then looked at the old woman who was pretending not to see their affectionate interaction and asked, "Old woman, would you be willing to take on an apprentice?"
The old woman nodded readily: "Yes, I will teach all my signature dishes to the young master!"
She could finally rest easy. If her husband cared so much about Miss Yunxi, her parents could rest in peace.
After eating her fill, Ruan Yunxi rubbed her stomach and leaned against the door, watching Gu Weizhou wash the dishes while she chatted with him.
After the dishes were washed, Ruan Yunxi asked Gu Weizhou to wait at the door on the old woman's old bicycle so she could exchange a few words with her.
Ruan Yunxi stuffed a handful of money and national food coupons and meat coupons into the nanny's hand: "This is for your food expenses during this period. Take it, nanny. Don't be polite with me, I have money."
Since she had already said that, how could the nanny refuse? She smiled and nodded, telling Ruan Yunxi to come and eat xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) tomorrow morning, and that she would make them for Ruan Yunxi.
Ruan Yunxi nodded.
The two walked out of the alley and went for a stroll along the Bund.
After being away for more than half a year, Ruan Yunxi returned here, and her feelings were very different.
I was in such a hurry to get revenge that I didn't get to properly appreciate the scenery here.
Thanks to Gu Weizhou for accompanying her back for the New Year.
The two pushed the old bicycle along the Bund for a while. It was a bit windy, and fearing she would catch a cold, Gu Weizhou advised her to go back.
Ruan Yunxi saw a restaurant not far away and thought about finding time to pack some food she wanted to eat and put it in her storage space, because she probably wouldn't have time to go back to Shanghai next year.
There was no central heating or heated brick bed in Shanghai, but with Gu Weizhou holding her while she slept, she wasn't cold.
The next morning, Gu Weizhou woke up and went for a run on the Bund. He returned covered in sweat. Ruan Yunxi was still asleep. He washed his face and picked up today's newspaper to read.
Ruan Yunxi woke up after reading half of the newspaper.
Before he even opened his eyes, he started calling out, "Brother Zhou?"
Gu Weizhou put down his newspaper, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her gently: "It's almost nine o'clock. Granny is waiting for us to have breakfast. Shall we get up?"
Ruan Yunxi hugged Gu Weizhou and said coquettishly, "Get me dressed!"
Gu Weizhou smiled and kissed her on the cheek. He then took the clothes he had helped warm and put them on her one by one. Looking at his soft and delicate wife, Gu Weizhou was so fond of her that he took care of her even more carefully than he would his own daughter.
He thought to himself that if he had a daughter in the future, he would raise her to be as delicate and adorable as her mother.
The couple spent some time cuddling together early in the morning. Gu Weizhou even helped Ruan Yunxi brush her teeth. By the time she finished getting ready, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
