Dinner at Gu Xiaobei's was reheated steamed buns from the previous day and a dish of fried cabbage with vinegar. Xiaobei also cooked some millet porridge. Lu Zhanguo loved spicy food, so Xiaobei prepared some shredded pickled vegetables and added green onion and chili powder, then doused it with hot oil.
Just as the dishes were served, a knock was heard at the door. Lu Zhanguo got up to open it, while Gu Xiaobei sat down and started to serve porridge for the two of them.
As the door opened, Chi Xiaoyue's voice rang out, "Brother Zhanguo, my cousin came by, saying he was Xiaobei's classmate. He just arrived and doesn't know anyone, so we came to visit."
Gu Xiaobei silently thought that this was a real effort to sabotage their marital relationship.
