Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Obviously a Henpecked Husband

Lu Yichen frowned and reached out to hold Luo Qiao back, "Why did you suddenly decide to enroll in driving school? It’s exhausting, and besides, most of the people there are men."

As Luo Qiao pulled him forward, she replied, "I know, but there’s one female student in this batch. I haven’t met her yet, but I guess I’ll see her tomorrow."

Lu Yichen gave Luo Qiao a glance, "I’ll take you there tomorrow."

He thought about it and felt something was off, "The driving school isn’t far from the machinery factory. How about we don’t stay at the school dorms? I’ll come pick you up at night. I probably can’t send you in the morning. It’s about four or five bus stops away, is that okay?"

Luo Qiao laughed, "You make it sound so nice, as if you’d have the time to pick me up every day. Keep dreaming."

Lu Yichen touched his nose feeling somewhat guilty, "Well, I was thinking, if I don’t have the time, I’ll ask Grandpa to arrange for someone to pick you up. The conditions over there aren’t good, not to mention it’s not safe."

Luo Qiao knew exactly what he was thinking, "Even you might not be a match for me, so whoever bothers me will get beaten down on the spot."

However, the accommodation there was indeed not very good. She said, "I’ll try to head back to stay near the machinery factory. The dorm conditions at the driving school are indeed not that great."

Now Lu Yichen was happy, "As long as I have time, I’ll come to get you."

The two entered the market with beaming smiles, bought the last piece of lean meat on the chopping board, and one and a half pounds of pork ribs, along with some vegetables, and then headed towards the Gu family’s home.

As Luo Qiao thought about her cousin’s engagement next week, she turned her head to Lu Yichen, "Brother Lu, do you have time next Sunday?"

Lu Yichen thought for a moment, "I’m free for now. What’s up?"

With a sly smile, Luo Qiao said, "Well, my cousin is getting engaged next Sunday, and I want you to come with me."

After she finished speaking, she also extended a finger to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, trying to conceal the scheming in her eyes.

Inside, Lu Yichen was feeling quite delighted, "Okay, I got it."

The two walked towards the Gu family’s home, talking and laughing, while Gu Qianru watched the sweet sight of them from a distance, her eyes filled with laughter and contentment.

Seeing his aunt standing at the front gate, Lu Yichen said, "Auntie, you really called it. We almost didn’t get any ribs; this is the last piece of meat and ribs left."

Gu Qianru glanced at Stone in the yard and laughed, "Did you think I’d lie to you? Hurry up, or dinner will be late."

Then Lu Yichen also headed into the kitchen, and Gu Ruqian watched him skillfully pluck the vegetables, realizing this man was definitely a devoted husband at heart. She shook her head and shrugged her shoulders, amusing herself to no end.

Stone came over and asked, "Auntie, why are you shaking your head and shrugging your shoulders?"

Now everyone looked at her, leaving her unsure of how to respond, until Nanny Sister Tang intervened, "It’s nothing, she’s just dealing with an old problem. Her neck and shoulders feel better with a bit of movement."

Gu Qianru took over the conversation, "Yes, yes, yes, it’s an old ailment."

As she spoke, she shrugged her shoulders a few more times and did some stretches before heading into the house to get tofu from the fridge. She turned, smiled at Nanny Sister Tang, and gave her a thumbs up.

Gu Qianru, now almost in her forties, had been through a marriage. Not long after getting married, her husband, Yu Pengjun, had passed away, and she had remained single ever since. She was exceptionally cheerful.

She had always treated her sister Gu Taoran’s several children as her own and took great care of her adoptive father. Previously, it was just her, the adoptive father, and Nanny Sister Tang in the house, with her niece Lu Yiting occasionally staying over for a few days.

Now, since Lu Yi returned to the Capital, he had been staying with them, and with the addition of Stone, the lively ’egg’, the household had become much livelier.

Gu Qianru used to experiment with food in the kitchen with Sister Tang when she had free time. Now with more people around, she was even more inclined to cook for the family. Sister Tang was less like a nanny and more like one of the family.

For dinner, there was braised pork ribs, twice-cooked pork, scrambled eggs, homemade tofu, spicy potato strips, and pickled radishes from the house, which were especially good with rice, rivaling Sichuan pickles.

The old master came back from next door and saw Luo Qiao there, smiling even more extravagantly than Gu Qianru. He knew he couldn’t scare the young lady away, so he quickly toned down his expression.
