Peach's eyes brightened even more. "Yes, this girl has been thoughtful since she was little."
Whenever she's home, she's always busy doing chores, so your older brother and I don't have to do anything at all.
You wouldn't believe it, I'm almost forgetting how to do kitchen work!
Just then, a person came out of the kitchen.
He had a neat short haircut, fair skin, handsome features, and bright eyes. He wore a white shirt and black trousers, and looked very clean and gentle.
The bloodstains on the white apron she was wearing slightly marred its aesthetic appeal.
"And this is..." Gu Yanliu's eyes curved into a smile, a hint of mockery in them.
Su Nianxue and the others followed her gaze.
The boy greeted them all in a natural and generous manner.
Gu Yansong introduced him to them with a smile, "His name is Zhai Mingyu, he's Zaozao's boyfriend, and he's a primary school teacher in town now."
He didn't talk much, and his introduction was rather dry.
Peach added, "We were just about to tell you about this!"
Zaozao and Xiaozhai were college classmates and have been dating for several years.
Our two families thought that they were getting on in years, and it was time to start planning their marriage.
We've already discussed it with Xiao Zhai's parents and plan to get married this month.
"You guys are really lucky. If you hadn't come back, your brother and I were planning to call you too."
When Zaozao heard her parents say this, a faint blush immediately appeared on her face.
"That's great! We're not just here early, we're here at the right time!"
By the way, sister-in-law, how are the wedding preparations going?
"Do you need any help? Just let us know if you need anything, don't be shy!" Gu Yanliu perked up immediately when she heard that there was a happy occasion in her family.
Su Nianxue looked at the two young people and smiled knowingly. They were a handsome couple, a perfect match!
“Sister-in-law, Yanliu is right. If you need anything, just let us know. We’ve retired now, so we have plenty of time.”
"Okay, I won't stand on ceremony with you!" Peach said while coaxing the child.
She loves children, and she fell in love with Can Can the moment she saw her!
I've been holding her ever since she came into the house.
Gu Yansong asked his brother, "Have you really retired?"
"I'm retired, I'm retired. I've handed over all the city affairs to Xiaxia. As for me, I'll just be a freeloader from now on, staying at home and eating my fill."
“What do you mean by ‘eating for free’? You’re still taking care of the kids!” Peach replied with a smile.
The old man was a little hard of hearing, and although he couldn't quite hear what they were saying, he grinned broadly and chuckled as he watched the younger generation celebrating together.
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Zaozao simply took Xiaozhai to the kitchen.
Soon, a sumptuous meal was laid out on the table.
The whole family sat around the large round table, having a lively time.
The food on the table looked delicious and looked very appetizing.
Su Nianxue praised, "Zaozao's cooking skills are really good. The dishes are arranged like works of art. I don't even want to pick up my chopsticks."
Taozi laughed loudly, "Nianxue, you really guessed wrong this time. This dish was made by Xiao Zhai, and Zaozao was just helping him."
"Oh? Really?" That's quite unexpected. It's rare to see a boy with such good skills.
Zhai Mingyu explained, "My family has been cooks for generations. According to my dad, we even had a royal chef."
So, the men in our family have to go into the kitchen from the time they can walk.
You'll learn it naturally if you watch it a lot.
My dad said that if I didn't know a few words, he would have dragged me to a restaurant to cook long ago.
Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
The young man was initially shy, but now he seems to have quite a free-spirited personality.
Gu Yanliu and Su Nianxue exchanged a glance and sighed inwardly, thinking that Zaozao was a girl with good taste.
This young man is not only good-looking, but also has a stable job and a good temperament.
And more importantly, he's an excellent cook, which is definitely a plus!
It's truly commendable that I understood Zaozao's thoughts, supported her decision with my actions, and followed her to work in her hometown!
Zaozao stayed in her hometown, and Taozi and Gu Yansong, the couple, are now able to have someone to rely on in their old age!
This is also a blessing brought about by the couple's momentary good intentions!
After dinner, Zaozao and Xiaozhai had to leave first because they had something to do.
Peach then led them to the courtyard to talk.
The conversation took a roundabout turn and eventually ended up with Wang Peilan.
"She passed away two years ago. Before she left, your older brother and I went to see her one last time."
She wasn't feeling well at the time, but she still managed to say a lot of things to us, repeatedly apologizing to us siblings.
When Gu Yanbai and his sister heard this name again, they both felt a pang of sadness.
The deceased is gone; let bygones be bygones and all past grievances be buried with them.
Taozi added that Zaozao's biological parents had come to their home.
They held Zaozao's hand, weeping bitterly, saying that life was hard for their family back then, and they simply couldn't support so many children.
That's why they sent her away.
But they had been following behind, so they knew who had picked up the jujubes.
Seeing that Gu Yansong and his wife treated her well, and that they had no other children at home, she had refrained from seeing her.
But they had been keeping an eye on her situation and knew she was older now, so they wanted to come and see her.
Despite the two women's tearful outpourings, Zaozao remained unmoved.
She said her surname was Gu and that she only had one set of parents in her life.
Then, without showing any mercy, they were kicked out and told never to come back.
