“My godfather treated me very well.” Zheng Qiu glanced at Gu En, not angry, but just thinking that this was probably just how people were. She then explained, “I was already nine years old when I was able to hold a knife. Many girls and boys in the village could take small knives to the woods to dig for wild vegetables when they were five or six years old. So, I was at a pretty good age.”
“That’s true. When my third sister was six years old, she was also responsible for preparing three meals a day. Back then, my second uncle, second aunt, and second sister all made my third sister do everything,” Gu En added.
"Hehe." Gu Xin chuckled and lowered her head to eat.
That fool, thankfully her parents and sister aren't here.
Lu Zheng glanced at Gu En speechlessly. Oh no, she's starting to look more and more like her uncle.
"Xiao Qiu, can I come to your place for meals often in the future? Where do you live? I think your sweet and sour pork ribs and tenderloin are especially delicious. I bought the ingredients, you can cook them, and we can eat together, okay?" Gu En said excitedly to Zheng Qiu.
“No.” Zheng Qiu refused without hesitation.
"Why?" Gu En couldn't believe it. Why did he refuse? Weren't they just fine a moment ago?
"I can do it, but that doesn't mean I like to do it. I still prefer to eat noodles and glutinous rice balls at a noodle stall," Zheng Qiu said calmly.
“What’s so great about noodles? If you like them, I’ll make them for you! I can do that. Before, when my second uncle asked me to practice my hand strength, he had my second sister give me a bowl of white flour and I had to knead it within a set time so she could approve it. I knead dough really well, really. Absolutely chewy.” Gu En patted his chest and assured her.
"Troublesome." Zheng Qiu glanced at Gu En helplessly and uttered two words.
"No trouble at all. I'll come find you then. You can't ignore me or not open the door for me," Gu En said with a smile.
While eating his food, Fatty Wang stared at Gu En with his beady eyes, thinking to himself, "Gu Xiaosi is doomed. What is this if not love? She doesn't want him anymore, yet he still insists on going to her house."
Should we remind Gu Xiaosi? But Brother Lu said it's okay, don't ask anything, and don't say anything nonsense.
Oh dear, this is really difficult!
It was so much fun! He'd never met such a fun group of people in his life!
Fatty Wang felt that his life would be full of excitement from now on.
"Whatever you want!" Zheng Qiu was quite helpless looking at Gu En's enthusiasm, so she had no choice but to agree. However, she added, "I can't guarantee that I'll always be home. So, if you knock on the door and no one answers, it means I'm not home. Most of the time I'm at the mortuary or the Dali Temple. If you're not afraid, you can come to the mortuary to find me. There's a kitchen there too."
Gu En: "...Okay!"
At this moment, Du Sanniang came out, followed by two waiters, each carrying two plates of food.
"Miss Gu, General Lu, everyone, these are some appetizers I made myself to go with your drinks. I hope you enjoy them!" Du San Niang asked the waiter to bring out the dishes and then greeted everyone.
"Boss Du, sit down and eat with us! Try what Xiao Qiu made and see if it tastes good," Gu Xin invited.
Du Sanniang saw that there was a gap between Baiyi and Gu En, so she went straight there.
Gu Xin's left side is Lu Zheng and her right side is Zheng Qiu, and they are all quite close to each other.
She didn't go to join in the fun with Gu Xin, since she wasn't a young woman and everyone present was younger than her.
