Liu Xinyan's face was full of "Hurry up and agree to it, I want to go", but she said something like "I'm doing this for your own good".
Gu Yunzhou raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "That makes sense, but where do we live?"
"Isn't this easy?" Liu Xinyan said happily, "As long as you agree, we can rent a house next door, and then we can go to the Jiangxin restaurant to eat and drink every day."
Gu Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, "Then they can't afford to support you."
Liu Xinyan choked, "I, I pay, I don't eat for free, when I'm not busy, I can even help her pick vegetables or something."
Gu Yunzhou picked up the book beside him and opened it to hide his expression. "Do you think she would agree? Maybe she finds you annoying."
Liu Xinyan pouted and said, "Jiang Xin won't do that. I'll talk to her when she comes back."
After saying that, Liu Xinyan turned around and went outside the door to wait for Qiao Jiangxin.
The book that Gu Yunzhou had used to cover his face slid down. He looked at Liu Xinyan's back, and the corners of his lips curled up in pleasure.
Qiao Jiangxin had just arrived home and hadn't gotten off the ox cart yet when Liu Xinyan ran towards her with an excited look on her face.
"Jiang Xin, you're back. One day without seeing you feels like three years, half a day without seeing you feels like a whole year and a half. Next time you go to pay New Year's greetings, take me with you~"
Liu Xinyan grabbed Qiao Jiangxin's arm and rubbed her head against her shoulder like a spoiled child.
Qiao Jiangxin got goosebumps all over her body, "What are you doing~"
Liu Xinyan greeted Qiao Youcai and his wife, "Uncle Qiao, Aunt Qiao, I'm bringing Jiang Xin to my house for tea, do you want to come?"
Liu Afang smiled and said, "Go ahead, have fun. I'll ask her dad to call her when it's time for dinner."
Liu Xinyan said, "You can also eat at our house. Brother Peng bought some vegetables yesterday, but I don't know how to cook them. I'm afraid they will be wasted, so I'll let Jiang Xin teach me."
Following Liu Xinyan to the front of the house, Qiao Jiangxin asked, "What good things did Brother Peng bring you? Didn't he go back yesterday?"
"Donkey meat. He came again today and gave us half a piece of donkey meat. It's still fresh. It's still on the snow, so it shouldn't be frozen. I don't know how to cook it."
As she spoke, Liu Xinyan pointed to the snow pile in the yard that had not yet melted, "Look over there."
Gu Yunzhou came out of the house and greeted Qiao Jiangxin with a smile, "Comrade Qiao, I have to trouble you again."
Qiao Jiangxin shook her head, "Why are you being polite? It just so happens that I'm having a treat."
"Sister Xinyan, go boil some water."
Liu Xinyan pointed inside the house and said, "There's a pot of boiling water on the stove. Is that enough?"
"That's enough, take it out." Qiao Jiangxin said as he picked up the piece of donkey meat.
Gu Yunzhou also came over and asked, "How do we cook this donkey meat? Do we need to wash the pot?"
Qiao Jiangxin thought, "Do you want to eat the pot? If you want to eat the pot, you can..."
Gu Yunzhou said quickly, "You are good at this. We will follow your instructions on how you like to eat. Xinyan and I are not picky. What you cook must be the best."
He turned his head and fixed his eyes on Qiao Jiangxin's profile. From the side, her eyelashes were thick and long, very beautiful.
Qiao Jiangxin turned her head and met his gaze. She smiled and said, "If you want to do it my way, this fresh donkey meat is perfect for making steamed dumplings."
Liu Xinyan came out with a long-spouted kettle. "Steamed dumplings, I like them. We're going to have steamed dumplings today. You can have the donkey meat. I don't know how to make the dumpling wrappers, but I know how to make the dough."
