Dad can get his own,\" Mr. Gu said with a warm smile, placing a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs on his daughter’s plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Gu immediately followed suit, also giving her daughter a piece of the ribs. \"Jiaojiao, eat up if you like it. I made plenty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then placed a piece on her husband’s plate as well. Both the father and daughter loved sweet and sour dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that Second Brother Gu liked hot and sour shredded pork and Grandpa Gu preferred braised pork, Mrs. Gu made sure to put some on their plates as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yue Hua, here. You like fish, and I’ve already picked out the bones for you.\" Mr. Gu placed the deboned fish into Mrs. Gu’s bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao chewed on a pork rib, watching her parents tenderly serve each other. Even after weathering decades of ups and downs, they were still so deeply in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As warmth filled her heart, she turned to look at the man beside her, only to find him already watching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The love in his eyes was more ferocious than a tidal wave, threatening to swallow her whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a physical blow to Gu Jiaojiao’s heart, which began to race. She quickly lowered her head and focused on her food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you truly love someone, your eyes will always follow them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was exactly how it was with Su Shuochi. His gaze followed Gu Jiaojiao relentlessly, the love in his eyes completely undisguised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her avoid his gaze, Su Shuochi smiled to himself. ’Her cheeks are all red... I could stare at her forever and never get tired of it!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiaojiao, Jingtai, did you two get the contract signed today?\" Mrs. Gu finally found a moment to ask her son about his work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, we signed it,\" Gu Jingtai said cheerfully, his face breaking into a wide smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how happy he was made her happy too. \"That’s wonderful. I’m glad it’s signed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her mother’s beaming smile, Gu Jiaojiao quickly added, \"Grandpa, Dad, have you thought about what we should name the restaurant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandpa Gu immediately replied, \"Jiaojiao, you just focus on eating. We’ll leave that to your father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Gu quickly chimed in, \"That’s right, Jiaojiao. You don’t have to worry about it. Dad will come up with a fitting and memorable name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her dad. \"Now’s the time for our great scholar to work his magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha... Our ’great scholar’ better not let his daughter down,\" Grandpa Gu teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two of them ganging up on him, Mrs. Gu couldn’t help but interject, \"Alright, you two. Stop talking and eat your dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the Li family home down the street, Aunt Li got home and immediately started stir-frying the ingredients she had prepped earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just finished preparing three dishes and a soup when her husband and son walked in. Her daughter was already setting out the bowls and chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the family sat down to eat, Aunt Li casually asked her daughter, \"Lanlan, you know Professor Gu’s family, right? The one further down the street?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve heard of them. Their second son sells those savory pancakes,\" Li Xiulan replied, her heart skipping a beat. ’Did Mom find out something?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen Second Brother Gu making the pancakes himself once when she went to buy one, and he had looked so charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since then, she wasn’t sure if she was addicted to the pancakes or the man who made them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had gone back to buy pancakes a few more times since, but she never again saw the person she couldn’t get out of her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone who dares to run a small business these days has guts. They’re the ones who’ll be successful in the future,\" Mr. Li added, following up on his daughter’s comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, you don’t think it’s bad that he’s a street vendor selling pancakes instead of going to school?\" Li Xiulan asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! He’s no one to us. Who cares if he’s a vendor or something else.\" Mr. Li might admire the boy’s initiative, but that was as far as it went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A street vendor marrying his daughter, however, was out of the question. That’s why he had to instill in his daughter the importance of education.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Li, what are you talking about? Gu the Elder’s family has only been back for a little while, and they’re already doing much better than Gu the Second’s family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, why are you so interested in Uncle Gu’s family all of a sudden?\" their son asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! You probably haven’t noticed. Aunt Gu spent years feeding pigs on a farm, yet her skin is even better than mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiulan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She patted her chest in relief. ’That scared me to death! I really thought she’d found out something!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t interested in this topic, so she said nothing and just kept her head down, eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brother understood even less about such matters, so he too focused on his meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Li had never seen her either, since Mrs. Gu was usually at home cooking whenever he came home from work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All you two know how to do is eat! Listen, I went to find Auntie Gu today to ask her what kind of skincare products Aunt Gu uses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, whatever she’s using, why don’t you just go buy some for yourself?\" Mr. Li said dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie Gu and her sister-in-law are on such bad terms. How would she know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why did you even bother asking her?\" her son chimed in, just to avoid being told off for only caring about food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, honestly! She might not know, but Gu the Elder’s son and daughter do! And let me tell you...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu the Elder’s daughter looks like a fairy, and his son is ten times more handsome than Dong Yong from ’Heavenly Fairy Match’!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them even invited me over to their house today. It’s a real shame I had to come home and cook for you lot. What a pity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Li and his two children: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So we’re a burden to her now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The son, feeling a little miffed, asked, \"Mom, is Second Brother Gu really that handsome?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! It’s the absolute truth. The Dong Yong on TV isn’t even a thousandth as handsome as him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom’s telling the truth,\" Li Xiulan couldn’t resist chiming in, her voice full of admiration and her eyes shining brightly. \"I saw him once when I was buying a pancake. No wonder their stall is the most popular.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brother glanced up at her and saw the infatuated look in her eyes. ’Oh no, don’t tell me she’s fallen for him!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to say something to warn his parents when his mother said something that made his jaw drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard he makes more in one day of selling those pancakes than your father makes in a whole month! And he’s single! I need to get on his good side and then find someone to set him up with our Lanlan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Li and his son: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just what they were afraid of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you seriously comparing me to a street vendor?\" Mr. Li grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong with being a vendor? Besides, he’s not a vendor, he’s a private entrepreneur. Do you get it? A private entrepreneur! The government is encouraging the private economy now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I get it! Hmph! You Women’s Federation types always love to make a mountain out of a molehill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Li snorted. He wasn’t truly angry, he just felt his authority had been undermined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Li, have some more meat. They say Aunt Gu is such an amazing cook that her food made the neighbor’s kid cry with longing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what’s that got to do with me!\" Mr. Li was still fuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! Of course it has to do with us! If our Lanlan marries into Gu the Elder’s family, we’ll get to taste her cooking too, won’t we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Li and his two children: ...\u003C\u002Fp>",1357,"2026-06-03T03:31:20.892Z","2026-06-03T03:31:25.558Z",1,"novelbin.me","613418b5848e63f2a19ba48526a23ffe3a1d292d22dc29e7bcc9b6113f6e4868","back-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-chapter-274","back-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-chapter-273",635,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fback-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-cover.jpg"]
