Hello, Comrade. I'm Here to Marry You!

Su Zhaozhao nodded. "That’s the plan. I’ll register next semester, and then I can take the college entrance exam next year."

Li Chunhong looked at Su Zhaozhao, her face full of relief. "Zhaozhao, don’t worry. If there’s anything you have trouble with, just let us know. Your cousins are all in college, I’ll have them help you."

Su Zhaozhao smiled. "Okay, but I’ll probably be in West State by then, so they might not get the chance."

Li Chunhong was a little surprised to hear that. "What? You’re going to be in West State the whole time? Zhaozhao, it’s so poor and harsh over there. Resources are scarce, and it’s so dry. Can you really get used to it?"

"Mhm. My husband is there, and we’ve already applied for family housing. So I’ll definitely be living there."

"Alright, Zhaozhao. No matter what, as long as you’re happy, that’s what matters. But that man of yours... when he gets back from his mission, you have to bring him over for me to meet."

"Okay," Su Zhaozhao said.

’Who wouldn’t be satisfied with Xie Huaizheng?’ she thought.

Even she, a person with incredibly high standards, was completely satisfied with Xie Huaizheng.

As long as Xie Huaizheng made the effort, none of the elders would have any objections to him.

Su Zhaozhao helped in the kitchen. While Li Chunhong cooked, Su Zhaozhao chopped the vegetables and handled the final plating.

Soon, several dishes were ready.

Braised "lion’s head" meatballs, Dongpo pork, steamed pork belly with preserved greens, yellow croaker soup with pickled cabbage...

Every dish was a Jiang City specialty, and they all made Su Zhaozhao’s mouth water.

The food she had cooked back in West State couldn’t even compare to Li Chunhong’s dishes.

It was just them and Xu Ziyang for lunch today.

Everyone else was busy or eating at their own homes.

Xu Ziyang, on the other hand, was just there to snag a free meal.

He hadn’t expected Li Chunhong to prepare such a feast, and couldn’t help but say, "Grandma, why did you make so much food?"

"We have a guest," Li Chunhong said with a smile. "Besides, Jiaxin paid for the ingredients, so of course we had to cook it all."

’Sigh, all I did was the cooking,’ she thought. ’Xu Jiaxin must have spent a lot of money!’

Xu Ziyang glanced at Xu Jiaxin. ’The way she’s dressed looks so expensive. I guess she really is rich.’

Xu Jiaxin hurried over to help carry a dish. "Grandma, it smells so good! I feel like I’ve been wasting my time eating out these past few days in Jiang City. Your cooking is even better than the master chefs at the restaurants!"

"Child, you’re giving me too much credit." Li Chunhong quickly waved her hand at Xu Jiaxin. "If you like it, make sure you eat a lot!"

Su Zhaozhao brought out the last dish, a chicken soup, and said to Xu Jiaxin, "I made this chicken soup. Be sure to try some."

"You got it! I won’t hold back then!" Xu Jiaxin’s face immediately broke into a brilliant smile.

The group sat down together. Xu Ziyang glanced at Xu Jiaxin, then at Su Zhaozhao. ’He was dying to gossip, but he had no idea how to bring it up.’

’A grown man like him blurting out nosy questions? How ridiculous would that be?’

So, Xu Ziyang could only hold his tongue.

Xu Jiaxin ate with gusto. "I think it’s pretty similar to the food in Shencheng City. It’s a little sweet, but the dishes themselves are different. It’s delicious, so, so delicious."

She was not at all stingy with her praise. Her compliments made Li Chunhong ecstatic, and she kept encouraging Xu Jiaxin to eat more.

Finally, Xu Jiaxin ate until she was completely stuffed and had to stop.

"That’s enough, that’s enough, I’m full." Xu Jiaxin rubbed her stomach. "That brother of mine, Xu Jiaming, is definitely going to be kicking himself for not coming with me."

As soon as she finished, she noticed Su Zhaozhao looking at her and quickly added, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell my brother about this."

Su Zhaozhao nodded.

Still, she was a little worried. ’But what could Xu Jiaming possibly do?’

’She was already married to Xie Huaizheng. They were legally bound. What could Xu Jiaming possibly do?’

At that thought, Su Zhaozhao calmed down a bit.

After the meal, Xu Jiaxin lingered for a little while before leaving.

"Zhaozhao, are you sure I can’t come hang out with you for the next few days?"

"Yeah... I’m sure you already know about all the famous spots in Jiang City, right?"

’She was just someone who had transmigrated into this world; she didn’t know any more about this place than Xu Jiaxin did.’

’The original owner of this body was an airhead, so Zhaozhao didn’t actually know anything about Jiang City’s famous attractions or tour routes.’

Xu Jiaxin sighed. "Alright then."

"Where do you want to go? I can take you," Xu Ziyang suddenly chimed in.

Su Zhaozhao immediately looked over at Xu Ziyang. Xu Jiaxin also turned to him with a smile.

"Really? You’re willing to show me around?"

Su Zhaozhao watched as a blush spread across Xu Ziyang’s tan skin. He didn’t even dare to look at Xu Jiaxin.

"Yeah. I’m a Jiang City local, and I’m pretty free. I can show you around, do my part as a host."

"Thank you! So, let’s make a plan. Where should we go tomorrow? I can get a ride there and wait for you."

"Okay..."

After they made their plans, Xu Jiaxin left cheerfully.

Su Zhaozhao turned to Xu Ziyang. "What was that all about?"

"Have some respect!" The shy look on Xu Ziyang’s face vanished without a trace, replaced by an icy glare as he looked at Su Zhaozhao.

’Wow, that was a quick change,’ Su Zhaozhao thought.

Su Zhaozhao said, "...You have a crush on her?"

The moment she said it, the blush that had just faded from Xu Ziyang’s cheeks suddenly crept back.

"Don’t talk nonsense!"

"I knew it. You fell for her at first sight," Su Zhaozhao said, her interest suddenly piqued.

’Oh my god, this is interesting. Because I transmigrated, the fates of the novel’s supporting characters are turning out completely different from the original story.’

’Come to think of it, this is actually a pretty fun development.’

’In the original novel, Xu Jiaxin and Gu Qingran were love rivals. She also liked the male lead, fought over him, and did many things to frame the female lead.’

’But now, she hasn’t even met the male lead, let alone fallen for him.’

’Instead, she came to a place like Jiang City and met my cousin.’

’Does this mean Xu Jiaxin’s fate has changed too?’

’That’s actually a good thing.’

’Xu Jiaxin has been nice to her, and she doesn’t want to see her become the venomous, love-obsessed supporting villain from the novel.’

’Just a pawn used to make the female lead look smarter.’

’That would be such a waste.’

"Shut up!" Xu Ziyang glared at Su Zhaozhao. "I was just being nice to your friend, unlike you, who wouldn’t even take her out. I was just helping you out! So people don’t think our family has no manners."

Su Zhaozhao just smiled as she listened to Xu Ziyang rattle off a long list of excuses.

"If you really like her, I can play matchmaker."

Xu Ziyang’s head snapped toward Su Zhaozhao. "Really?"
