It wasn't until the sunset that Gu Xiaoyou and Mrs. Zhou stopped and returned to the house with their hands full of things.

The two of them went directly to Zhou's house. Liang'er and the little yellow dog heard the sound and came out.

"Mom, Aunt Gu, you are back."

"Woof woof."

Gu Xiaoyou touched Liang'er's head: "We bought a lot of things, and we bought a lot for you."

"Really?" Liang'er asked happily.

"Well, hurry to the main hall."

Gu Xiaoyou carried her things and walked towards the main hall, followed by Zhou and Liang'er.

The two people put the things on the table, and Gu Xiaoyou handed several wrapped paper bags to Liang'er: "I bought these for you, see if you like them?"

"Thank you, Aunt Gu." Liang'er thanked her politely and took the paper bag with both hands.

He opened the paper bag and took out the contents and put them on the table. When he took out something, Liang'er let out an exclamation.

"Langhao's writing brush! Mo Wenxuan's rice paper and inkstone!... Wow, there are also nine links!"

Liang'er fiddled with the Nine Rings and said happily: "Thank you, Aunt Gu, I've wanted a Nine Rings for a long time."

"You're welcome, as long as you like it."

"Aunt Gu, come play with me."

"Okay..." Gu Xiaoyou sat next to Liang'er and played with the nine-ring chain with him.

Zhou looked at it with a smile for a while, then turned to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

While he was busy in the kitchen with his hands and feet, Gu Xiaoyou walked into the kitchen and took out a paper bag from his arms: "Sister Zhou, this is for you."

"For me?" Zhou asked confused.

Gu Xiaoyou handed the paper bag to her. Mrs. Zhou wiped her hands on her apron and reached out to take it.

Zhou opened the paper bag and saw clearly what was inside. Her eyes widened instantly: "This is..."

"I've seen you look at it for a long time, I guess you must like it." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhou was moved and said: "Xiaoyou, you are so kind to me."

"You are my sister, try it quickly."

"Okay, I'll put it on right now."

Mrs. Zhou quickly took the earrings in her hand, looked at the water tank in the kitchen and put on the earrings while looking at the reflection in the water.

She quickly put on her earrings and looked at her reflection in the water with a gentle smile.

"Does it look good?" Zhou turned to Gu Xiaoyou and asked shyly.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at it carefully and praised seriously: "It looks good."

Mrs. Zhou smiled happily: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Gu Xiaoyou tilted his head and smiled.

Suddenly there was a smell of mushy food coming from the kitchen, and Mrs. Zhou quickly turned around: "Oh no, my food."

"Oh, let me help you."

Gu Xiaoyou stepped forward to help, and the two of them worked hurriedly in the kitchen for a while before finishing dinner and putting it on the table.

Mrs. Zhou served Liang'er a bowl of rice, and her earrings shone in the candlelight. Liang'er asked in surprise: "Mother, you are wearing earrings, you are so beautiful."

"Your Aunt Gu bought it for my mother." Mrs. Zhou smiled and touched her earlobe.

"Aunt Gu, you have such good taste and your earrings are so beautiful."

"Are the earrings alone beautiful?" Gu Xiaoyou asked teasingly.

"It looks beautiful on my mother," Liang'er said wittily.

Gu Xiaoyou pinched his little face and said, "What a clever little guy."

Liang'er chuckled and waited for Zhou and Gu Xiaoyou to move their chopsticks before he started eating.

The three of them finished their dinner happily. Gu Xiaoyou cleared the dishes and said, "Sister Zhou, we will have a warm dinner at my house tomorrow night. I invited Yang He and Zhu Cheng, and by the way, I told Yang about the paper shop."

He mentions it."

"Okay, then I will come to your house to help you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Sister Zhou..."

Gu Xiaoyou helped Zhou put away the dishes, said hello and went home.

In the evening of the next day, Gu Xiaoyou left the hospital, went to the market to buy ingredients, and then went to a restaurant to buy some big dishes, and hurried home.

Mrs. Zhou was already waiting at the door. Gu Xiaoyou waved to her: "Sister Zhou, I'm back."

"I bought so many things, let me help you carry them." Mrs. Zhou came over and helped Gu Xiaoyou get the food.

Gu Xiaoyou took out the key and opened the black door: "It's too troublesome for you to wait at the door. I'll give you the key later. It will be more convenient for you to come here."

Zhou helped Gu Xiaoyou take the ingredients to the kitchen: "No, I'll just wait at the door for a while."

Gu Xiaoyou took out the food packed in the restaurant, thought about it and said, "I'd better give you one. If I forget to bring the key, I can ask you for it."

"Okay, I will keep it safe for you." Zhou responded solemnly, and then quickly packed up the ingredients.

Gu Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows when he saw her serious look. Sister Zhou was so reliable, she was so serious about everything she did.

She brought the ready-made dishes to the main hall and turned around to help in the kitchen.

There was a knock at the door. Gu Xiaoyou walked towards the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, and Yang He." Zhu Cheng's loud voice sounded from outside the door, penetrated the door of the house, and reached the yard.

Gu Xiaoyou rubbed his ears and said with a smile: "I know, why are you so loud?"

She quickly opened the door and invited Yang He and Zhu Cheng in.

Zhu Cheng carried a roast chicken in his hand, and Yang He held a clay pot.

"Why did you bring something here?" Gu Xiaoyou said angrily.

"Congratulations to the boss on his new housewarming. I kept roasting chicken to express my feelings." Zhu Chenghan said with a smile.

"Thank you, please take it to the kitchen." Gu Xiaoyou thanked him and pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

"Okay." Zhu Cheng carried the roast chicken and walked towards the kitchen.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at Yang He, looked at the clay pot he was holding, and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Yang He's delicate face was stained with a faint blush, and he said shyly: "This is the pickle made by my mother. I hope Boss Gu won't dislike it."

Gu Xiaoyou's eyes lit up: "Why would you dislike it? I like eating pickles the most."

She stretched out her hand to take it, but Yang He quickly dodged it: "The jar is very heavy, let me take it to the kitchen."

"Okay, I'll bother you then." Gu Xiaoyou said politely.

Yang He's ears turned red, he nodded silently, and followed Gu Xiaoyou to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Zhu Chengcheng stood tall and was cutting the roast chicken with a kitchen knife.

Mrs. Zhou took a look and stopped her: "You cut it wrong, you have to cut it along the way."

She stretched out her hand and made a few gestures on the roasted chicken. Zhu Cheng nodded and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I almost cut it wrong."

"It's okay, you can eat it if you cut it like that, it just doesn't look good."

Zhou explained with a smile, and Zhu Cheng smiled innocently.

At this time, Gu Xiaoyou came in with Yang He. She looked around the kitchen and pointed to a shady corner.

"Put it there."
