“We’ll discuss the details over lunch tomorrow. It’s likely about buying the machine tools. Wifey, you’re my lucky star.” 

Gu Ye praised without hesitation.

Chu Qiao blushed slightly, but she secretly felt very happy.

She also thought that she had brought Gu Ye good luck. Perhaps her luck had improved significantly since her rebirth.

“Take these dumplings with you for lunch tomorrow. Old Man Zheng, like your father, loves dumplings and struggles to adjust to the local cuisine.”

Having wrapped the last dumpling, Chu Qiao shook out her slightly sore hands. 

She had made hundreds of dumplings this afternoon, which was no easy task. 

Thankfully, she was strong, or else she wouldn’t have been able to keep up.

“I’ll clean up. Where did your father and Xiao Peng go?” 

Gu Ye asked while glancing around the room but didn’t see anyone, not even Dabao or Xiaobao were there.

Chu Qiao looked at him, puzzled. 

“My dad and Xiao Peng are at their own home. Why are you suddenly asking about them?”

“Then who is visiting? Earlier downstairs, someone mentioned that my relatives had come to visit.”

Gu Ye efficiently cleared the cutting board and basin as he asked, clearly confused.

“Pfft—”  

Chu Qiao couldn’t hold back her laughter. 

So that was how the rumor had started. 

Chu Qiao explained the excuse she had made up earlier when answering the phone. 

“I was worried that people might gossip, so I only said it was from a distant relative. Good thing I didn’t say anything else, who knows how it would’ve been twisted otherwise.”  

“Those people really have too much time on their hands.”  

Gu Ye finished cleaning the cutting board and noticed Chu Qiao was still shaking out her hands. 

He moved to massage them for her, but she quickly pulled away, keeping a straight face as she whispered, “There are so many people around.”

Given the conservative social norms of the time, even married couples felt uncomfortable showing affection in public for fear of causing gossip.  

Gu Ye looked up and noticed several housewives glancing in their direction. 

The moment he made eye contact, they quickly turned away, acting suspiciously. 

He let out an annoyed huff and said, “I’ll massage them for you tonight. Don’t make so many dumplings at once next time.”  

“Alright. I made some extra money today, so I bought a bit more beef.”  

Chu Qiao shook her hands vigorously a few more times, feeling somewhat relieved. 

She told Gu Ye about the side income she had earned, her eyes curving into delighted crescents as she spoke, clearly proud of herself. 

Gu Ye felt a stir of affection watching her and couldn’t wait for nightfall, only then could he indulge freely.  

“Thanks to my wife’s good fortune, we’ll have a hearty meal tonight.”

Gu Ye had become skilled with sweet talk, effortlessly showing it out. 

Chu Qiao shot him a playful glare and began preparing the stir-fried vermicelli. 

-Stir-fried Vermicelli 

She blanched the spinach, sliced the beef, shiitake mushrooms, and carrots into strips, and boiled the vermicelli until tender before draining it. 

Then she heated a little oil in the wok, stir-fried the beef, mushrooms, and carrots until cooked, added the pre-mixed sauce, and added in the vermicelli and spinach.  

Chu Qiao loved this dish. It was nutritious, delicious, and simple to make. 

Dabao and Xiaobao enjoyed it too. 

She had made it a few times before, and both boys had praised it. 

Even spinach, which they usually refused to eat when stir-fried, became a favorite when prepared this way.  

“The day after tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. We’re going home for dinner. Stop by Boss Tang’s place to pick up the oven, I’m going to make a birthday cake for Dad. Also, deliver the hair growth treatment I’ve prepared.”  

After cooking the vermicelli, Chu Qiao started boiling the dumplings, cooking half of each filling.  

“Sure, I’ll go right after dinner.”  

Gu Ye agreed promptly, as he had matters to discuss with Tang Yaozu as well.

After the dumplings were cooked, Chu Qiao asked Gu Ye to take a large bowl downstairs to share with Xu Sanqiang and the others. 

All four of them were so considerate, they would rather cook noodles themselves than come over for meals.
