Old Master Zou glanced sideways at Old Lady Mu, feeling that she was constantly undermining him today.
If a man is willing to leave the entire household to a woman, does it mean that he trusts and values this woman?
Wan Xing made it sound as if An Guo's willingness to let Yun Shu take care of the marriage was like throwing some troublesome matter to her.
Old Master Li picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea and said, "I trust this child An Guo, but it's useless for us old people to agree. This mainly depends on Shu Shu's opinion."
Old Mrs. Yu nodded in agreement and said, "When Shushu comes home, we will tell her about this. Whether she agrees or not, we will call you when the time comes."
She personally felt that Shushu would most likely agree. She had just gotten out of a bad marriage a year ago, so she should be thinking about entering into a new relationship and marriage so soon.
Besides, Shushu said before that she wanted to find another one.
Mr. Zou nodded and said, "Okay."
Mr. Zou came here and had lunch at Li's house. He didn't leave until after three in the afternoon.
At half past six in the afternoon, Gu Zhenyuan returned home.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Mr. Gu was reading a newspaper. When he saw his son coming back, he shouted to the kitchen that it was time for dinner.
Gu Zhenyuan changed into slippers and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came out, the nanny was already setting dinner on the dining table.
Mr. Gu put down the newspaper in his hand, walked to the dining table and sat down, looking at Gu Zhenyuan and asked: "Is the work of the Criminal Investigation Team almost handed over?"
Gu Zhenyuan nodded, "It's almost there."
He finished all the cases on hand a few days ago and has been handing them over these two days. He is very busy, so he came back early.
Mrs. Mu walked down from the stairs, sat down next to Mr. Gu, and her face was full of joy when she saw her son Gu Zhenyuan.
Gu Zhenyuan noticed it and looked at his father and asked, "Dad, did you make my mom angry again today?"
Old Master Gu rolled his eyes at him. "What do you mean by 'again'? When have I ever made your mother angry? Besides, how could I dare? Your mother is mad at you."
Mr. Gu also knew what his wife was thinking.
She wanted Zhenyuan and Shushu to be a couple. Shushu was a good kid, and Zhenyuan was single. It would be a good thing if the two kids could really be a couple.
But it is very likely that she is just too enthusiastic about the idea of shaving, and neither of the two children is interested in it.
"Are you angry with me?" Gu Zhenyuan was confused.
"Your Uncle Zou went to the Li family today. Do you know what he went there for?" asked Mrs. Mu with a drooping mouth.
Gu Zhenyuan shook his head. It would be difficult for him to know this.
"He went there to act as a matchmaker."
Gu Zhenyuan: "Matchmaking?"
"Match Shushu!"
Gu Zhenyuan was shocked and asked, "To matchmake for Sister Yunshu? Who are you talking about?"
Mrs. Mu said, "Feng Anguo. When your Uncle Zou was born, I saw what he was thinking. I didn't expect him to act so quickly, so I asked your Uncle Zou to be the matchmaker and go to the Li family to act as a matchmaker."
"Gu Zhenyuan, let me tell you, if you hurry up, Shu Shu will become someone else's wife." Old Mrs. Mu glared at her son.
Old Master Gu frowned and said, "You also have to see if Zhenyuan has any feelings for Shushu. If he doesn't, what's the point of urging him?"
Mrs. Mu sneered, "Look at how nervous he is when he heard that Old Zou was going to propose marriage to Shushu. If he doesn't have that kind of interest in Shushu, I'll eat this bowl of wine."
She said, pointing to the bowl of soup in front of her.
Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment, then looked at his son and asked, "Do you really have that feeling towards your sister Shushu?"
Gu Zhenyuan lowered his eyelids somewhat awkwardly. He did not directly answer the question, but asked, "Did my uncle Li and the others agree?"
Mr. Gu: “…”
It really is.
Mrs. Mu said, "Shushu is here again. Your uncle Li and the others neither agreed nor objected. They just said they would see what Shushu said."
Old Master Gu looked at his son and said earnestly, "Zhenyuan, if you really have feelings for your sister Shushu, you shouldn't hesitate. If you need to pursue her, then pursue her. If you need to express your feelings, then express them."
"A real man should act decisively and decisively. No matter how slow you drag your feet, you will get things done."
Gu Zhenyuan nodded awkwardly. In his eyes, Sister Yunshu was indeed different from other women. A celebrity once said that when you realize that a woman is with other women in public at the same time, you probably like her.
In his heart, Sister Yunshu had been different from other women a long time ago, but he only gradually saw his own true self.
He has been hesitant to act because he is afraid of being rejected.
I'm also afraid that if I'm rejected, we won't even be able to be friends anymore, so I've been dragging it out until now.
But now Feng Anguo has already found someone to act as a matchmaker. If he delays any longer, he will really have no chance at all.
So, he must take action.
The next day at six in the afternoon, when the dumpling shop was busy, Gu Zhenyuan showed up at the dumpling shop. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and started helping in the shop.
Li Yunshu saw it and waved to Huang Qiuyan to go into the kitchen to cook dumplings, while she came out to find Gu Zhenyuan.
"Brother Zhenyuan, why are you working again? You are here to eat dumplings, right? Let's go sit in the living room at the back." Li Yunshu said as he went to take the dishes that Gu Zhenyuan had collected.
Gu Zhenyuan hid for a moment with the empty dishes in his hand, "No, I'm in a hurry to eat, Sister Yunshu, go and do your thing, don't worry about me, I just want to do something."
Li Yunshu looked at Gu Zhenyuan strangely. Who would work a whole day and finally get off work and still want to find some work to do for themselves?
Li Yunshu thought about it and felt that Gu Zhenyuan's energy was too good. He stayed idle until his energy was exhausted, and wanted to find something to do for himself.
At this age, he still has so much energy. Brother Zhenyuan's body is still quite good.
Seeing that he insisted, Li Yunshu had no choice but to go with him.
He stayed up late this evening and had a staff meal with Li Yunshu and the others.
Tonight's staff dinner is pig's trotter stewed with kidney beans. Each person gets a pig's trotter, served with a dipping sauce made with chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and chopped green onions.
This way of eating pig's trotters is from the K-pop province, and it's called "ti hua er".
In her previous life, Xiaoyu took her shopping for clothes and they had a meal near a department store. Her teeth were already very good at that time, and she liked to eat light food. This soup was stewed to be milky white and delicious, with soft kidney beans and pig's trotters so soft that they would melt in a sip. It was especially suitable for her taste.
Although she had only eaten it once, she remembered it for a long time and thought about it for a long time. When she was hungry in the nursing home, she also thought about it.
This kidney bean stewed pig's trotter was made by her according to her own understanding. She knew it was authentic, but the taste was definitely worse.
"Brother Gu, you are lucky today. When I asked Xiaoye to go to the meat processing plant to get some pig's trotters, he took one extra. Of course, you still want to eat this stewed pig's trotter with kidney beans."
Li Yunshu jokingly placed a bowl of kidney bean and pig's trotter soup in front of Gu Zhenyuan.
Gu Zhenyuan took the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Then I was right to help today. I picked up something delicious. This pig's trotter looks delicious. I will come to help more often in the future."
Qin Rong smiled and said, "Is it delicious? I've been stewing it since five o'clock."
"This pig's trotter tastes better when eaten with this dipping sauce." Li Yunshu placed the dipping sauce on a plate in front of Gu Zhenyuan.
Gu Zhenyuan nodded and said, "Thank you."
"Aunt Li, Aunt Qin, I've finished washing all the dishes in the sink. I'll go back first." Huang Qiuyan said as she walked out of the kitchen with her portion of the employee meal.
Just like before, she would take the staff meals home to eat with her younger siblings.
Li Yunshu nodded and said, "Go back, be careful on the road."
Huang Qiuyan said "hmm" and waved, "Captain Gu, Brother Xiaoye, goodbye."
"goodbye."
The soft and tender pig's trotters, dipped in a fragrant and spicy dipping sauce, were so filling that everyone was reluctant to even lift their heads.
Although the taste of the homemade pig's trotters was very similar to the one he remembered, Li Yunshu was still very satisfied with the taste.
After dinner, Li Yunshu saw Gu Zhenyuan out of the store.
Li Yunshu: "You said you came to eat dumplings, but you didn't eat them and just worked."
Business has been good these days, and although we've stocked up on more goods than usual, they're almost sold out by 6:40.
Gu Zhenyuan smiled and said, "Although I didn't eat dumplings, I ate pig's trotters which were even more delicious than dumplings. It was worth it."
Li Yunshu smiled and said, "It's too early now, you should go back quickly."
"Sister Yunshu, if you want to move, please stand here. I'm going to get something from the car."
After saying that, Gu Zhenyuan ran to the jeep parked on the side of the road, opened the door, and took out a paper bag from the car.
Li Yunshu looked at Gu Zhenyuan's back, feeling a little curious about what he was going to get from the car.
"Huh..." Gu Zhenyuan took two breaths, stood in front of her, and handed her the paper bag in his hand.
"Sister Yunshu, this is for you."
"What is this?" Li Yunshu took the paper bag and took out the contents with great curiosity.
"Are these leather gloves?" Li Yunshu looked at Gu Zhenyuan holding the leather gloves, a little curious why he gave himself leather gloves.
At first glance, these gloves are women's gloves. There is a circle of fluffy white fur on the edge. They feel very thick and the leather is very soft. They are pure sheepskin gloves with both fur and leather.
Gu Zhenyuan lifted his eyelids to glance at Li Yunshu, then lowered them awkwardly, licked his lips and said, "You usually ride a bicycle home. It's windy in winter, and these leather gloves can keep out the wind. They're perfect for you to wear when riding a bicycle in winter."
