It was Nanny Qian. She carried a basket with a smile.

“This is Laba porridge. Young Madam asked me to send it over. Miss Gu has just arrived in Fengkai County. You can try our local Laba porridge and see if it’s any different from yours.”

Gu Yundong was a little surprised. Why did Madam Yao send her Laba porridge?

However, Nanny Qian quickly resolved her doubts. “Young Madam said that she came to Gu’s with Young Master to celebrate Miss Gu’s opening a few days ago. She hit it off with Miss at first sight. Unfortunately, there were many guests that day and business was booming. Miss was busy, so our Young Madam didn’t have the chance to talk to Miss.”

As Nanny Qian spoke, she took out an invitation. “Seeing that Miss’s shop has stabilized over the past few days, Young Madam wants to invite Miss into the residence as a guest. Coincidentally, there’s a plum garden in the Peng Residence. At this time of the year, the plum blossoms are blooming. Young Madam sent me over to send Miss an invitation. Please don’t decline.”

“Huh?” Gu Yundong asked. Guest? Invite her to the Peng residence to admire the plum blossoms?

No, no, no. She didn’t have any romantic cells in her. She was a vulgar person who only wanted to earn money every day and didn’t have time to admire the flowers.

She had no intention of interacting with Madam Yao.

Gu Yundong wanted to refuse, but Nanny Qian seemed to have seen through her intentions and added, “Miss Gu’s cousin, Gu Xian’er, also misses you quite a lot. It’s just that it’s not convenient for her to come out at will now. Miss Gu, you can go and visit her and catch up with her.”

Gu Yundong swallowed his words.

She knew it. She hated it when these rich families beat around the bush. Couldn’t you just use Gu Xian’er’s name to look for her?

Gu Yundong accepted the Laba porridge and invitation. “Your Young Madam is so sincere in inviting me. I’ll definitely go. Thank you.”

Nanny Qian’s mission was completed, and her smile became more sincere. “Then I’ll go back first. Miss, no need to see me off.”

Gu Yundong smiled. Seeing that she had left, Zhuangzi came over. “Boss, our shop is too popular. Even the Peng family has sent you Laba porridge.”

He had truly felt the business of the past two days. If not for the purchase quota, their sugar might have been sold out the moment the shop opened.

Gu Yundong held the invitation card in her hand and handed the Laba porridge to Zhuangzi. “Just nice, you can share this Laba porridge.”

“For us to eat?”

“Yeah.”

Zhuangzi couldn’t wait to open the lid. His eyes lit up.

The Laba porridge in Peng Manor was indeed different. There were many ingredients such as river rice, white fruit, walnut kernels, chestnuts, red dates, longan, and so on. To Zhuangzi, it was even more sumptuous than the Spring Festival’s food.

Gu Yundong also glanced at it, then retracted her gaze and went back with the invitation.

Zhuangzi immediately went to find bowls and chopsticks to share with Zheng Gang.

Yongfu Village was very lively. The Laba Festival was a day to worship ancestors and gods and pray for a bumper harvest and auspicious luck. Every family had more or less prepared Laba porridge. Even if the ingredients were not rich, it had to be done.

The workshop was not on holiday, but the Laba porridge that Gu Yundong had asked the Tong family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to cook in the morning was very sweet. She gave everyone in the workshop a big bowl to bring back.

Everyone in the workshop looked at the full bowl of Laba porridge and their smiles never faded.

As expected, working in the Gu family’s workshop was simply too good. After eating the porridge, they worked even harder.

Gu Yundong had been busy for two days and had almost forgotten the date she had agreed on with Madam Yao..
