"How did Sister Xie know this old man?" Zhou Nuan asked curiously.

With Xie Xiuzhen's temper, she definitely wouldn't be able to repair shoes.

"Oh, this, no one would believe it. A few years ago, when I passed by here, I was harassed by a gangster and was saved by the old man. Even though he lost one hand and one eye, when he chased the gangster away, he exuded a murderous aura, which scared the gangster to death."

Xie Xiuzhen said, "I think he is not just an ordinary soldier. He may have crawled out from a pile of dead bodies."

A battlefield full of dead bodies? That could only be the battle where the five-star general fled in disarray.

“If that’s the case, he’s a hero who has made great contributions. How could he fall to this point?” Zhou Nuan was very confused.

Xie Xiuzhen shook her head and smiled, "I just guessed it myself. The old man refused to say anything and no one knew what happened to him. Maybe I was overthinking it.

The old man is quite pitiful. He has been alone for so many years. In the past two years, everyone's life has improved, but his business has been getting worse and worse. Sometimes he has no food to eat, and he refuses to accept help from others. If I hadn't secretly given him money sometimes, he wouldn't even be able to afford his favorite whole grain dumplings."

I like eating whole grain Wo Wo the most? I seem to have heard this sentence somewhere.

Zhou Nuan seemed to be thinking about something.

When I got home, the door was open. Before I walked in, I heard a familiar voice.

"When will my sister-in-law come back?"

"It will be soon. She said she would be back. She should be on the way." It was Gu Xiyue's voice.

"Then what are you still doing here? Go pick her up, Lao Gu. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're just too ignorant..."

When Zhou Nuan walked in, she saw Gu Xiyue sitting with Xixi in his arms.

Wang Youzhi was holding Gu Xiaodong, smiling indifferently, while Zhi's wife sat beside him stiffly, staring at the twins with envy.

I haven't seen her for a while. She looked in good spirits today and even put on some lipstick. She didn't look as sick as she did that day.

She noticed Zhou Nuan first, and hurriedly tugged at Wang Youzhi's clothes and smiled at Zhou Nuan.

"Sister-in-law is back." Wang Youzhi greeted her.

He has lost a lot of weight, but his expression is calm and upright. Although he used to be playful and laughable, his eyes were wandering.

"Congratulations on coming out." Zhou Nuan was really happy for him and nodded to Zhi's sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law looks much better."

Zhi's wife was uneasy, with a weird smile on her face, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Ah, Mama, Mama." When Gu Xiaodong saw his mother coming back, he stretched out his hands and asked for a hug.

Influenced by his sister, the child has recently started to like chewing things. Zhou Nuan is really afraid that he will grab Wang Youzhi's hand and chew it.

He took a step forward and took Gu Xiaodong from Wang Youzhi's arms.

Wang Youzhi was reluctant but didn't dare to say it, so he could only stare at Gu Xixi in Gu Xiyue's arms.

"Is the store busy?" Gu Xiyue asked.

"Uh, yes, but Sister Miaomiao didn't let me get involved because something happened on the way."

Zhou Nuan originally wanted to mention the old man to him, but when she saw Wang Youzhi talking about other things, she let it go.

Wang Youzhi was a talkative person, chatting non-stop with Gu Xiyue, and Zhou Nuan could hardly understand what they were saying.

Zhou Nuan only heard about the company, price and so on.

They kept chatting and it was almost afternoon, so Zhou Nuan went to the kitchen to see what dishes Aunt Li had prepared.

When you enter the kitchen, you will see all kinds of exquisite dishes, such as boiled shrimp, boiled chicken, traditional Chinese soup, and other Cantonese dishes.

Wang Youzhi liked to drink a little wine, so she asked Aunt Li to prepare some fried dishes and food to go with the wine.

After coming out, I heard Wang Youzhi talking, "Mr. Luo from Future Real Estate is interested in cooperating with us. What do you think?"

"Does Luo Mingrong think highly of small companies like ours?"

"It seems that he admires you very much and wants to recruit you into his company to work for him. The price he offers is amazing."

"If I join their company, there will be no future for Xi Zhou. Even if I achieve something, it will only be for others."

“And not only is this a start-up, we also have a garment factory to take care of.”

Wang Youzhi thought about it and said, "Yes, we may succeed, so why should we rely on others for support?"

Zhou Nuan called out, "Let's eat."

"What delicious food did your sister-in-law make?" Wang Youzhi stood up.

Zhou Nuan smiled lightly, "Aunt Li made it. I can't do it. My Xiyue has never eaten the food I made."

"Local feast, don't get sick of it, Brother Zhi."

Wang Youzhi was a little surprised. "I heard from Yan Jing that your sister-in-law is also from the countryside. It's really rare that she can't cook. It seems that your family loves you very much."

In comparison, his wife was not so lucky. His wife was also from the countryside. She had to do everything from cooking to farming to feeding pigs and raising brothers and sisters since she was young. She had been married to him for so many years, but except for some contact in the first year, she didn't even ask about him in the past few years, as if she didn't have this daughter.

Zhou Nuan, "..."

It's no wonder that he was surprised. Girls in this era have to do everything. The original body should be able to do it too. There is no way He Rongsheng would let go of exploiting her.

She had almost forgotten about this. Even Wang Youzhi found it strange. What about Gu Xiyue?

Zhou Nuan's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiyue.

He sat there calmly, his expression unchanged, as if it was a matter of course that she couldn't cook.

"Let's go, it's time to eat. You can drink as much as you want today." He even changed the subject.

As expected, Wang Youzhi was attracted by the words “You can drink as much as you want” and his glasses lit up immediately.

"Old Gu, you must be tired of holding the child, right? Come, let uncle hold you."

Wang Youzhi stretched out his hand to Gu Xixi, with an expectant look on his face and a smile so intense that his teeth were almost showing.

Gu Xixi glanced at his face with her big eyes, then turned her head expressionlessly and buried herself in her father's arms.

Wang Youzhi, "..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Zhou Nuan quickly tried to smooth things over, "I'm sorry, it's not that she doesn't like you, it's that my Xixi likes handsome boys."

Wang Youzhi, "..."

Thank you, he wasn't comforted at all.

Turning his head, Gu Xiyue looked at his wife with a smile in his eyes, the doting look in his eyes was so strong that it could not be dissolved.

. . He shouldn't have come here to be tortured today.

Wang Youzhi was furious and tried to turn his grief and anger into appetite. Just as he took a step, his wife grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.

Looking back, she looked at a loss, "Ah Zhi, let's go back home. Mom told us to go back early. My uncle and his family have to go to work. There's no one at home to cook for mom and nephew. I have to go back and make dinner. Mom will be unhappy if I go back late."

Wang Youzhi frowned.
