As Though He Was Buying Vegetables

The family was enjoying their afternoon tea, their faces filled with joy. However, Su Li seemed a bit downcast. It wasn't that he was envious of his older brother, but he too craved praise. He too wanted to be free of worries about finding a wife in the future. He wanted to marry a good woman, to love her as his father loved his mother. Together with his wife, he would take care of his parents, ensuring the family's continued happiness.

Su Li made a silent resolution. He too would learn culinary skills from his mother. Although he didn't fully understand the concept of marriage, it didn't stop him from wanting a wife.

After everyone finished their afternoon tea and Gu Zi was resting alone in the room, Su Li approached her. He said, "Mother, I want to learn cooking from you in the future, is that okay?"
