Chapter 52 Breaking Up a Couple

After the family finished eating, they started discussing hosting a dinner party, but they knew they didn't have enough tables and chairs for everyone.

"We'll borrow it from the neighbor's house then."

At this time, furniture such as tables, chairs, and benches in the home are made according to the number of people. There are one bench for every person. Generally, it doesn't cost much to make extra, especially when they are entertaining guests, no matter how many are made, it will not be enough.

Leilei and Yaoyao counted on their fingers, thinking about which friends they should invite.

Huo Zheng: "Old Yu has been talking about coming to our house for dinner for a long time, and this time we finally have the chance."

Thinking of this, Lu Mingyue said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Wang was also talking about this today."

The thought of her skills being appreciated filled Lu Mingyue with a secret joy.

"Sister Zheng's family, Sister Wang's family, and..."

"Should we invite Director Wang?"

When they arrived, Director Wang spoke up for the two children. He was a leader in the family compound. Lu Mingyue didn't know the regulations of the military camp, so she passed the problem to Huo Zheng.

"Director Wang and the leaders don't often participate in these kinds of interactions, but the leaders know my old man, so we can go over and have a chat sometime."

Old man Huo?

That's her father-in-law!

[Speaking of which, I haven't met Huo Zheng's family since we got our marriage certificate. If they find out Huo Zheng married me, won't they try to break us up?]

Lu Mingyue's mind was filled with a lot of melodramatic scenarios.

The system cheered them on: "Don't be a coward, host! You're destined to be a super-rich woman. Just bury them in money!"

Lu Mingyue: [Hehe, if I remember correctly, Huo Zheng is from Beijing, right?]

Putting aside everything else, the price of a house in Beijing alone would be enough to make many people in later generations marvel.

Lu Mingyue thought about the treasures in her space and realized that even if she sold them all, she probably wouldn't be able to buy more than a few sets.

Hearing Lu Mingyue's thoughts, Huo Zheng touched his nose in shame. His family knew about his blind date, and when he submitted his marriage application, his father called to inquire, but he was busy with other things and didn't have time to answer.

I've been busy repairing the house and working these past few days on the island, so I've put this matter out of my mind.

While feeling guilty, Huo Zheng also felt that he couldn't be blamed for this.

From childhood to adulthood, his parents adopted a laissez-faire approach to raising him and his older brother, allowing them to make all their own decisions and bear the consequences themselves.

Lei Lei and Yao Yao's affair was also done without their knowledge; their two elders only found out after the children were brought back to Beijing.

He was so focused on continuing his old ways of thinking that he forgot about Lu Mingyue's thoughts.

Huo Zheng felt that this was something he had done very poorly, and he reflected on it.

Normally, the two should go on blind dates, meet each other's parents, and finally decide to get married.

However, this was not the case when the two met. The situation was critical, and they decided to get married in just two days, a classic whirlwind romance.

He quickly said, "Dad must have received my marriage application. He called a while ago, but I was busy with something and forgot about it. If you have time, how about we call them back tomorrow?"

Lu Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, then agreed.

As the old saying goes: An ugly daughter-in-law will eventually have to meet her in-laws.

Lu Mingyue was confident in her looks. A pretty daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws sooner or later, and she wasn't afraid of it even though it was just over the phone.

"OK."

Hearing Lu Mingyue's answer, Huo Zheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Dad, should I call Grandpa and Grandma?"

When Yao Yao heard what her parents were saying, she realized that they needed to call her grandparents. Her eyes crinkled into a smile, and she raised her hands to indicate that she wanted to go too.

Although Leilei didn't speak, he straightened up and looked at them expectantly.

"Okay, let's go together."

The elders in the family haven't called the two children in a long time either. Huo Zheng has been busy with missions and hasn't had much time to call home, and the same goes for the two children.

Yao Yao jumped off the stool, grabbed her doll, and hugged it to her arms.

This was made by Lu Mingyue for her. It was stuffed with some scraps of cloth and cotton, and it was soft and comfortable to hug.

"I want to take Meimei with me."

After the new doll was finished, it successfully replaced the old doll in Yao Yao's heart.

Although Grandpa and Grandma can't see Meimei when she makes a phone call, Yaoyao can tell them what she's doing.

They've tentatively scheduled the dinner for this week's rest day.

After agreeing on the menu for the dinner party, Lu Mingyue took the two children to wash up.

One adult and two children squatted in the yard brushing their teeth. Lu Mingyue carefully checked the two children's brushing posture to avoid leaving any residue.

After washing up, Huo Zheng watched as the mother and her two children went into the house to sleep and shook his head before heading to his own room.

Sleeping alone can be a bit lonely.

Leilei usually accompanies him, but ever since the little guy took a nap with his mother and sister, he has abandoned his father.

The next day, the bugle sounded, and Lu Mingyue's biological clock started ringing on time.

She stretched in bed, preparing to get up and cook, when she bumped into Huo Zheng coming out of his room.

"Why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Lu Mingyue yawned. "I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat."

If you go too late, you'll only find what others have left over. Not only does it taste bad, but it's also just as expensive.

Lu Mingyue thought it wasn't worth it, so she decided to get up earlier and go buy it.

Huo Zheng straightened his clothes in front of the mirror. "I'll buy these when I go to the military camp. I'll bring breakfast back with me. You can go back and sleep a little longer; it's still early."

He had a smile on his lips and was wearing a neat and tidy military uniform. Under the rising sun, he looked exceptionally charming.

Lu Mingyue blinked, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Alright then, thank you for your trouble."

"We don't talk about this between husband and wife."

Huo Zheng tossed out a sentence and strode away.

Lu Mingyue watched his retreating figure, feeling a warm glow in her heart.

It seems the wedding date was pretty good; at least the person is hardworking.

When Gu Mingyue woke up again, the two children were playing by the bedside.

The two children, one big and one small, watched him wake up and then rolled over to the pillow.

Leilei is five years old this year. During the time when he was not cared for by his mother, he learned to grow up and took care of his younger sister.

After fully accepting Lu Mingyue from the bottom of his heart, he felt as if he had returned to the identity of a child.

Learn to be affectionate, learn to play, learn how to be a real child.

Lu Mingyue was very happy with this change in him.

"Mother."

Yao Yao snuggled into her mother's arms, smelling her mother's lovely scent, and couldn't help but smile.

Looking at the little white dumpling so close to her, Lu Mingyue couldn't resist giving her a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Yao Yao paused for two seconds, blinked her big eyes, then covered the spot where she had been kissed and giggled, "Mommy stole a kiss from me!"

She shoved the doll in her hand into Lu Mingyue's arms, gave her a big kiss on the cheek, and said in a childish voice, "I want to steal a kiss from Mommy too!"
