Chapter 138 Are You Unhappy?

Xu Shaoyu took the key, his eyes lit up, "You haven't even moved in yet, and you're already giving me a bargain?"

Yan Ruo put her arm around his, "As long as Mr. Xu doesn't mind that the house is old and small."

Xu Shaoyu raised his hand and shook it, the keys in his hand jingled, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

This house was the home Yan Ruo prepared for her future when she left her. Now he is allowed to be the first to live in it. How could he dislike it?

Because they had a fixed large order, the first thing Yan Ruo did after returning was to discuss with Uncle Zhang about hiring a few more people.

At the same time, she consulted with Zhou Jiannan and asked them to help spread the news that her factory bought local products.

At the same time, their receiving standards were sent to each village and town.

Zhou Jiannan's unit was originally responsible for this work. Now there is a ready-made way to help the villagers increase their income, and with Zhou Jiannan acting as a middleman, they are willing to cooperate.

After I came back, I was busy for nearly half a month. Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.

After Yan Ruo left South City, Xu Shaoyu quickly finished dealing with the branch office's affairs and returned to North City.

Although he didn't say anything, Yan Ruo guessed that he was busy investigating the truth behind the car accident.

Both of them are very busy and it is difficult for them to reply to messages in time. They can only talk about their recent situation on the phone at night.

At night, Yan Ruo lay under a tree in the yard, basking in the moonlight while calling Xu Shaoyu.

"After Mid-Autumn Festival, will you come to South City?"

Xu Shaoyu said in a low voice with a hint of smile, "My girlfriend misses me."

Yan Ruo looked at the moon, which was missing only a corner, through her fingers, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Yes. It is said that when two people in a long-distance relationship don't see each other for too long, they will become strangers."

"I'm afraid that when I see you again after a while, we'll have to get to know each other all over again."

Xu Shaoyu's deep laughter came from the phone, "This is good too, it can always keep things fresh."

"I'll come find you after I finish this."

It was still unknown how long it would take for Xu Shaoyu to finish this busy period. Yan Ruo calculated the time and thought that maybe waiting for her to have time to go to North City would be more reliable than having Xu Shaoyu come to South City.

"Okay, I sent you some delicious food that can only be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival here. Remember to take it."

When festivals arrive, the strongest atmosphere in the city is the promotional activities of major businesses.

When the village celebrates festivals, they prepare a lot of special snacks. Yan's father ordered his own fish and chickens from others several days in advance.

Yan's mother also bought mooncakes, pomegranates and other seasonal fruits early, and enthusiastically made tofu at home with the neighbor aunt.

Yan Ruo hasn't celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival at home for many years, it's a pity that Yan Qing is not going home this time.

Yan's mother grumbled a bit dissatisfiedly, "You didn't even come home for Mid-Autumn Festival. You said you wanted to go see the tide with your classmates. Why did you choose to go during the festival when there were so many other times to go?"

Yan Ruo was a little amused. "Mom, the Qiantang River tide can only be seen every Mid-Autumn Festival. Let her go and see it. Anyway, I'll be at home with you this year."

He snorted softly, "We've prepared so many delicious foods. If she doesn't come back, then she won't come back. We can still eat more."

This made Yan's mother laugh. "It's not like before, when we had to wait until the New Year or other festivals to eat meat."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come back. Just tell mom what you want to eat and we'll go buy it early in the morning."

I worked overtime some time ago and finally sent out the first batch of goods to Feng Yue.

These two days happened to be holidays, and Yan Ruo could finally stay at home for a few days without thinking about anything.

I had nothing to do that day, so I urged my mother to pick chestnuts.

Unfortunately, due to insufficient preparation, Yan Ruo was besieged by mosquitoes as soon as she entered the chestnut forest. Yan's mother couldn't bear it anymore and had to go home with her early.

On the way home, a familiar middle-aged woman saw them and said to Yan's mother with a look of understanding.

"Aunt, knowing your future son-in-law is coming, you didn't even pick up the chestnuts, so you came back early?"

"Future son-in-law?" Yan Ru looked at him blankly, and Yan Ru shook his head silently.

The two of them were completely confused about the situation and could only smile and say nothing.

Later on the way, he met several people who said they had guests at home, and some even teased Yan Ruo.

"You've found such a handsome boyfriend, why haven't you brought him home before? I was thinking of waiting for my nephew to come home during the holidays and introduce him to you."

He said nothing and just smiled politely.

When no one was around, Yan's mother complained, "What's wrong with your dad? He didn't even call to tell someone when they came home."

"And you, you secretly got a boyfriend outside and didn't tell me and your dad, and now he's found us at home."

Say nothing, just listen.

Experience tells her that it is best not to talk back to her mother at this time.

Also, could it be Xu Shaoyu who came to our house today? But he is so busy at work, and tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Doesn’t he need to be at home to celebrate the festival with his grandparents?

The two men were carrying a small handful of chestnuts they had just picked and walked to the entrance of their house when a black car stopped nearby.

As the car window slowly lowered, Yan Ruo saw Assistant Liu with a bright smile on his face.

"Miss Yan, have you and Auntie returned from picking chestnuts?"

Yan Ruo nodded blankly, "Assistant Liu, why are you here?"

"I'm sending Mr. Xu over here. He's chatting with his uncle at home right now. Nancheng has something else to do, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, he nodded at the two of them, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.

Yan's mother said, "Hey, it's almost noon. Don't you want to eat before leaving? And that Mr. Xu, is he Xiao Xu?"

Yan Ruo nodded helplessly, "Yes, it's him."

"When did you start dating? You denied it the last time I asked you. I told him he wasn't looking at you innocently."

Yan Ruo didn't dare to say that they had been together more than two years ago, so she could only say it vaguely.

"We've known each other for many years. The last time we met in North City, we confirmed our relationship."

"Didn't he tell you he was coming this time? There's nothing prepared at home."

"He's usually very busy with work, and I thought he would be home for the holidays, but he never told me. It's okay for him to come, no need to make special preparations."

Yan's mother thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know what his family situation is like?"

"I know." Yan Ruo briefly explained who was in Xu Shaoyu's family, but she didn't expect Yan's mother to frown after hearing it.

"Children from single-parent families may have a difficult relationship with their mother-in-law in the future."

Yan Ruo pursed her lips. It was more than just a bad thing.

Lin Shuyun's attitude towards her was like a collision between Mars and the Earth. If Xu Shaoyu was not close to her, Yan Ru would have wanted to stay away from her just by looking at her.

As soon as I arrived home, I saw a pile of things in the corner of the main room, all kinds of tonic fruits, all in gift boxes.

Xu Shaoyu was drinking tea and chatting with Yan's father in the back living room.

Seeing them, Xu Shaoyu quickly stood up and said, "Auntie, you're back."

His gaze fell on Yan Ruo, with a faint smile in his eyes. Yan Ruo walked to his side and asked in a low voice.

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were coming?"

Xu Shaoyu lowered his head and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to see me? Aren't you happy that I came to see you?"
