My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1250 Taste

In that quiet town, there lived an ordinary but down-to-earth couple—Zhou Xing and Ling Xue.

Zhou Xing is an authentic rural househusband, and his daily life is like an orderly pastoral poem. Before the sun rises, he has already got up quietly, tied an apron, and started to prepare breakfast for the family. His specialty is making dumplings. The rolling pin seems to have life in his hands, and the dough quickly turns into thin and evenly thick dough skins under his skillful hands. The meat filling is also carefully prepared by him, which is tender and juicy, and every bite is full of the taste of home. In addition to dumplings, cooking mutton soup is also his specialty. Fresh mutton, paired with unique spices, and after a long time of stewing, the mutton soup is fresh and fragrant, making people salivate. Zhou Xing also did all the renovations at home by himself. Under his careful construction, the dilapidated house gradually glowed with new vitality.

Ling Xue is an ordinary clerk in a township office. She works from nine to five every day. Although her work is not complicated, it is quite trivial. She is always conscientious and meticulous in organizing documents, arranging meetings, and receiving the public.

The days passed by peacefully and happily, until one day, everything changed.

Zhou Xing likes to record his family life, especially the details in the kitchen. One day, he suddenly had an idea and filmed his cooking process into a video, which he simply edited and posted online. At first, it did not attract much attention, as he just regarded it as a way of sharing his life. However, by chance, a food blogger forwarded his video and praised his superb cooking skills. Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, this video began to cause ripples on the Internet.

More and more people were attracted by Zhou Xing's videos. His simple smile, skilled cooking skills, and family background full of life made netizens seem to see the pastoral life they longed for in their hearts. Every like and every comment was like an invisible force, pushing the video to spread rapidly. In just a few days, Zhou Xing's "House Cook" series of videos became popular on the Internet, and the number of fans of his account grew exponentially.

As his popularity increased, various media came to interview Zhou Xing. Facing the camera, Zhou Xing seemed a little uneasy, but he always shared his life story and cooking experience sincerely. He said: "I am just an ordinary house husband. I cook these dishes just to make my family happy." His simplicity and authenticity have earned him more love and respect.

At the same time, Ling Xue's work was also affected. She, who was originally unknown, suddenly became a hot topic among her colleagues. Some people envied her for having such a capable husband, while others were curious about what their marriage life was like. Ling Xue always responded with a smile, knowing that all this was because their lives were full of love and warmth.

However, the popularity of the Internet also brought some unexpected troubles. Some businesses took a fancy to Zhou Xing's popularity and wanted to cooperate with him to endorse products. At first, Zhou Xing refused one by one, thinking that these things might affect the purity of his videos. But later, under Ling Xue's persuasion, he began to carefully choose some products related to family life to cooperate, such as high-quality kitchen utensils, ingredients, etc. Through these collaborations, Zhou Xing can not only bring some extra income to the family, but also recommend truly practical things to fans.

As time went by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue gradually adapted to this new pace of life. They still maintained their original intentions. Zhou Xing still prepared meals for his family every day, and Ling Xue still worked hard in the office. But now, their lives have more colors and possibilities.

Once, a well-known TV station invited Zhou Xing to participate in a food show. In the show, Zhou Xing showed his superb cooking skills and made delicious dishes on the spot. After the show was broadcast, it once again triggered a wave of enthusiasm. Zhou Xing's fans not only learned his cooking skills, but also felt the importance of family and love for life from him.

The township where Ling Xue lives has also received some attention due to Zhou Xing's popularity. Local specialty agricultural products have begun to be promoted through online sales channels, relying on Zhou Xing's fame, which has driven the development of the local economy.

In this noisy world, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue interpret the happiness and beauty of ordinary life in their own way. Their story tells us that no matter where you are or what profession you are in, as long as you manage your life with your heart, you can shine with your own brilliance.

He said: "Here, I want to thank one person in particular, that is our partner Ms. Ling Xue. When the supermarket was in the most difficult time, it was she who extended a helping hand and helped us overcome the difficulties." The audience applauded thunderously, a faint blush appeared on Ling Xue's face, and an unprecedented warmth surged in her heart.

After the dinner, Zhou Xing sent Ling Xue home. The two walked in the night, the light and shadow under the street lamps intertwined. Zhou Xing plucked up the courage and said to Ling Xue: "In fact, during this period of time, I found that my feelings for you have exceeded the scope of partners. I don't know if you feel the same way, but I sincerely hope to get to know you better." After hearing this, Ling Xue's heart was throbbing and it was difficult to calm down. She looked up at Zhou Xing, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

At that moment, the two of them became closer. They realized that the time they spent together had made them deeply dependent on and fond of each other. Although they didn't say it explicitly, that special feeling had quietly sprouted in their hearts. From then on, their relationship was no longer just a simple business partnership, but also had a layer of subtle and beautiful feelings.

As their feelings deepened, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue began to have differences in the process of cooperation. During a discussion about the introduction of new products, their opinions clashed fiercely for the first time. Zhou Xing insisted that more high-end brands should be introduced to enhance the image of the supermarket, while Ling Xue believed that the product diversity should be maintained to meet the needs of different consumers. During the argument, the tone of the two gradually escalated, and the originally harmonious atmosphere became tense.

In the days after the quarrel, both of them reflected on the conflict. Zhou Xing realized that his love and expectations for the supermarket might have made him too eager to see changes, and ignored Ling Xue's judgment on market trends. Ling Xue was also thinking whether she was too stubborn in the original supply strategy and did not fully consider Zhou Xing's desire for brand upgrade.

After a period of calm and communication, the two finally sat down and calmly exchanged their thoughts and concerns. Zhou Xing apologized first: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive that day. I know I have high expectations for the supermarket, but this should not become a pressure on our cooperation." Ling Xue smiled and shook her head: "I also have responsibilities. I should be more open to considering your suggestions. We are partners and should work together for the future of the supermarket."

Through this frank conversation, the two not only resolved their immediate differences, but also deepened their mutual understanding and trust. They understood that no matter what difficulties and challenges they encountered, as long as they were honest with each other, they could always find a way to solve the problem. This experience made their relationship stronger and laid a solid foundation for their future cooperation. After experiencing a series of storms, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's relationship has become extremely close. They are not only business partners, but also indispensable in each other's lives. However, as their feelings deepened, the two began to face new challenges - how to balance career and personal emotions, and how to deal with the future development of the two companies.

One night, the moonlight sprinkled on the quiet city streets, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were walking on the way home. Zhou Xing stopped and looked at Ling Xue seriously: "I have been thinking, can we take our cooperation to a new level? For example... merge the two companies." Ling Xue was shocked by this sudden proposal. She never thought that their relationship would develop to this point. She was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "This is a bold idea, we need to think carefully."

In the quiet little village, Zhou Xing's daily life is like the curling smoke from the kitchen, plain but with a special warmth. At dawn, he tiptoed out of the house and walked towards the hillside behind the village. After a while, he came back with a handful of fresh wild vegetables, which were the special ingredients he prepared for today's dumplings.

After returning home, Zhou Xing skillfully washed and chopped the wild vegetables, kneaded the dough, and prepared the stuffing. Every movement was smooth and natural. His wife Ling Xue watched from the side, occasionally helping to pass things, with a happy smile on her face. After a while, the plump dumplings were neatly arranged on the chopping board, like soldiers waiting for inspection. Zhou Xing boiled a pot of water and put the dumplings into the pot. Soon, the dumplings rolled in the water like a group of happy fish. The steaming dumplings came out of the pot, and Zhou Xing served a full plate on the table. The family sat together and ate with relish.

After breakfast, Zhou Xing started to get busy again. He picked up the tools and started to transform the old furniture at home. He carefully polished every corner and painted new colors. Under his hands, the shabby furniture gradually took on new life.

Ling Xue rode her bicycle to work in the town office. Along the way, the sun shone on her body, the breeze gently brushed her cheeks, and her heart was full of beautiful visions of future life. Although her job was ordinary, every time she saw Zhou Xing working hard for the family, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

In this small courtyard, their days flow peacefully and beautifully day after day, like a painting that will never fade.

One day, when Ling Xue was chatting with her colleagues in the office, she happened to mention the various interesting things Zhou Xing did at home. A young colleague asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, can you take some videos for us to see?" Ling Xue was a little hesitant, but with the encouragement of her colleagues, she decided to give it a try.

That night, after Ling Xue returned home, she set up her phone and began to film Zhou Xing cooking. Zhou Xing was a little embarrassed at first, but with Ling Xue's encouragement, he gradually relaxed. While he skillfully wrapped the dumplings, he chatted with Ling Xue about family matters, occasionally making a few humorous jokes, which made Ling Xue laugh. Ling Xue simply edited the video, added some relaxing music, and uploaded it to the Internet.

Unexpectedly, this video was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves. In just a few days, the number of views exceeded one million, and countless netizens were moved by Zhou Xing's simplicity and warmth. Everyone left comments and liked them: "This is the life I long for!" "I envy such an ordinary yet happy couple."

As the video went viral, more and more media began to pay attention to Zhou Xing. One day, a well-known TV station invited the couple to do a show. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were both nervous and excited. They didn't know what was waiting for them, but they decided to give it a try.

The day of recording the show finally came. Zhou Xing put on a neat outfit and Ling Xue also dressed up carefully. They walked into the TV studio hand in hand, feeling both nervous and excited.

The lights on the stage made it difficult for them to open their eyes, but when they saw the enthusiastic audience and the friendly smile of the host, they gradually relaxed. The host asked some questions about their daily lives at the beginning. Zhou Xing answered shyly, and Ling Xue supplemented on the side. When asked why she thought of shooting these videos, Ling Xue smiled and said, "In fact, we just want to record the little things in life, but we didn't expect to get so much attention and likes from so many people."

Then, the program team arranged for Zhou Xing to demonstrate his cooking skills on the spot. Zhou Xing walked into the small kitchen in the center of the stage, tied an apron on in a familiar manner, and began to make his specialty - mutton soup. He explained the steps in detail while making it, and the audience in the audience were fascinated, exclaiming and applauding from time to time. After a while, a bowl of steaming and fragrant mutton soup was ready. After tasting it, the host praised it highly: "It's so delicious! This taste is exactly like the taste of home."

After the show aired, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue became famous. Their number of fans grew exponentially, and various business cooperation invitations came one after another. Faced with these sudden changes, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were both surprised and somewhat overwhelmed. But they still decided to seize this opportunity to let more people feel the happiness and warmth in their lives.

However, as their fame grew, some negative voices began to emerge. Some people questioned whether they were hyping themselves up, and some said that Zhou Xing was not a real househusband at all, but was just trying to attract attention. These rumors were like a gust of cold wind, chilling Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's hearts.

To make matters worse, one day when Ling Xue was working in the office, she suddenly received a strange phone call. The person on the other end of the phone said fiercely: "You two liars, you will get your comeuppance sooner or later!" Ling Xue was so scared that her face turned pale and she almost dropped the phone on the ground. After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help crying. Zhou Xing was heartbroken when he found out.
