Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
Xu Xinning didn't actually have any plans for the wedding. Since they had already had one in Xujia Village, it didn't matter whether they had one in Kyoto or not. But since the elders had this idea, Xu Xinning could only go along with it.
Xu Xinning joked, "Brother Fu, I don't know when you'll be able to give your gift. How about changing it to a full moon gift?"
Fu Zhihong laughed heartily: "Isn't this just filling a position with inferior goods? Besides, the little ones might not even like it."
When Mu Jingheng saw that Xu Xinning had gotten up, he immediately went back to the kitchen to serve her breakfast.
He placed breakfast on the table and then took Xu Xinning's hand to help her wash up.
He didn't forget to say to Zhihong, "Brother, sit down for a while."
Fu Zhihong: "Okay!"
Why did Fu Zhihong feel a little envious looking at the two supporting each other?
Fu Zhihong felt that Mu Jingheng had really changed a lot. He used to be so arrogant and domineering, and he liked to argue with everyone he met. Now he has become gentle, calm and caring.
When Fu Zhihong arrived, Mu Jingheng was wearing an apron and making breakfast. He was momentarily stunned to see Mu Jingheng like this.
In Fu Zhihong's mind, Mu Jingheng will always be the kind of person who is high and mighty.
Is marriage really that good?
Otherwise, how could a spoiled brat become so obedient?
Fu Zhihong thought about his age and realized that perhaps it was time for him to get married.
When the group returned to the compound, Grandpa Mu was still at home, sitting on the sofa wearing his reading glasses and reading the newspaper.
Hearing the sound from the entrance, Grandpa Mu looked up and saw Xu Xinning holding her belly. He asked happily, "You're back? Have you eaten?"
Xu Xinning slowly walked over and replied with a smile, "I've eaten. Brother Fu, wait for me to finish eating before you come over."
Grandpa Mu: "It's fine to eat at home. I knew you were coming back, so I made a lot of delicious food."
The auntie also came over with a smile: "The commander said you were coming back, so he asked me to make a lot of Ningning's favorite dishes."
Xu Xinning held her aunt's hand and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I haven't had your delicious cooking in a while, and I really want to eat it."
Upon hearing this, the aunt was so happy that her mouth practically popped out of her ears.
Auntie: "What do you want to eat? Whatever you want to eat, Auntie will go to great lengths to satisfy you."
Mu Jingheng laughed heartily: "Auntie, if Xin'er wants to eat dragon meat, are you really going to go to heaven and earth?"
Auntie: "Well, I don't have that kind of ability. Dragon meat isn't something you can just get whenever you want. But I can think about lobsters. I was lucky today. A batch of pretty big lobsters came to the market. There weren't many, and a lot of people were scrambling for them. I squeezed in and grabbed two."
Mu Jingheng exclaimed in surprise, "Lobster?"
Auntie: "Yes! This thing is so expensive. I wouldn't have bought it if Ningning wasn't pregnant!"
Mu Jingheng: "Things are valued for their rarity. It's really not easy to transport them to the capital. How could they not be expensive?"
Auntie: "You know what, this lobster is still alive! Life is getting better and better now. Not only can we eat big white steamed buns, but we can also eat rare and exotic things."
Mu Jingheng laughed: "Auntie, do you believe that in the future no one will want to eat big white steamed buns anymore? Steamed buns, dumplings, white rice, braised pork, braised fish will be the most common dishes. Even lobster can be eaten often if you want."
The aunt waved her hand and laughed, "Are you kidding your aunt? Big white steamed buns are so delicious, who wouldn't want to eat them? You can't make jokes like this outside, otherwise people will definitely say you're bragging."
After saying that, the aunt turned and went to the kitchen.
Mu Jingheng smiled as he watched her retreating figure. Things he dared not think about now would come true soon. When he looked back on this time, he would probably have many feelings.
Mu Zhenting went to the Jiang family. Since Jiang's parents divorced, Jiang's father had moved back home.
According to Grandpa Mu, the Jiang family became more lively after Jiang's father returned to live there. Mu Zhenting and Wu's second son often visited the Jiang family whenever they were in the compound.
Two old bachelors, plus a half-married man who's not quite single, the three of them seem to have returned to their youth. They get together and brag and boast, their ability to entertain themselves is truly masterful!
Grandpa Jiang also enjoyed lively gatherings. He wished that Mu Zhenting and the second son of the Wu family would live in their house. In his words, yang energy could not only ward off evil spirits but also bring prosperity to the house. Especially for people like Mu Zhenting and the second son of the Wu family who had been on the battlefield, their presence was the same as having Zhong Kui pasted on the door.
Grandpa Mu knew that Grandpa Jiang was simply worried that his father wouldn't be able to get over it. With his close brothers by his side, chatting and boasting, he could get through the day.
Xu Xinning ate quite a lot, so Mu Jingheng accompanied her to digest after she finished eating.
Not long after they stepped outside, they ran into Yu Mei. She wasn't alone; she was with several other people, men and women, young and old, who seemed to be dealing with something.
Upon seeing Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning, the man naturally waved and greeted them familiarly.
Xu Xinning admired Yu Mei quite a bit. To be honest, this was only the second time they had met in person, and the first meeting hadn't been pleasant either.
Xu Xinning admired her for greeting them as if nothing had happened under such circumstances.
That's shameless!
Mu Jingheng seemed not to see her at all, supporting Xu Xinning without even glancing at her.
Yu Mei didn't mind: "Are you out to digest? I haven't seen you in a while, how come your belly has grown so fast? Normally, it shouldn't be time to give birth yet, right?"
Yu Mei's companion chimed in, "She looks like she's about to give birth."
Yu Mei's other companion continued, "Did you eat all the food in the house? Even the wealthiest family can't withstand this kind of extravagance! This big belly isn't a good thing; the baby might be too big to give birth to, resulting in a miscarriage..."
The man nearly died along with his unborn child, but seeing Mu Jingheng's dark expression, he forced himself to swallow his words back.
An older man also noticed Mu Jingheng's expression.
Mu Jingheng used to be a well-known spoiled brat in the compound; anyone with a bit of social connections would know him!
If you offend this spoiled brat, you'll be in for a lot of trouble in the future.
Mu Jingheng has always had this trait: if he wants to mess with you, you're guaranteed to have no chance of escape.
What's scary about this person is that not only does he have extraordinary perseverance, but he's also incredibly clever.
These people are all from the Women's Federation. They don't know what happened in the compound that required the Women's Federation to intervene, and why so many of them came at once.
The one who spoke without thinking must be a newcomer, so he doesn't know how dangerous Mu Jingheng is.
The older woman quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Don't talk nonsense if you're so young and don't understand. What if someone gets scared and hurts themselves? We work with women, so we need to know how to speak properly. Sorry, everyone! This child is new here and too young to understand."
