Seeing that Huang Jianjun hadn't even wiped his sweat before apologizing to her, Mu Shengnan wasn't so angry anymore.
She originally wanted to get Huang Jianjun a handkerchief so he could wipe his sweat.
However, when she reached into her pockets, she realized that she didn't usually carry a handkerchief.
"Wipe your sweat first. It's still early, no rush."
Huang Jianjun instinctively wanted to lift his shirt to wipe his sweat, but halfway through, he realized it wasn't a good idea.
He simply raised his arm, wiped it casually, and then chuckled, "Shengnan, let's set off now."
This was Mu Shengnan's first time sitting on the back of a bicycle, and she felt quite good about it.
When Mu Shengnan was little, she used to sit on the front bar of a bicycle.
Mr. Mu always emphasized to her that only Mrs. Mu could sit in the back seat, and that she herself was not allowed to sit there.
When Mu Shengnan got a little older, her father simply bought her a women's bicycle.
The old bicycle that Mu Shengnan is currently riding was bought by herself after she started working.
Because she disliked that women's bicycles weren't fast enough.
Chen Zhaodi and Huang Eryuan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Huang Jianjun finally come out.
Not to mention Mu Shengnan, even Chen Zhaodi was getting impatient and wanted to go in and drag him out directly.
Seeing that Huang Jianjun and the others had already set off, Chen Zhaodi urged, "Hurry up! Keep up!"
Huang Eryuan thought they were just going to take a look at the factory gate, but he didn't expect Chen Zhaodi to actually want to follow them.
He's starving. Shouldn't he go home and eat?
He said somewhat reluctantly, "Are we still going to follow them? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Besides, we haven't eaten yet, and the boss is still waiting for us at home."
"Oh dear, why are you so long-winded! The eldest is already 21 years old, not two. He won't wait for us; he'll eat first."
"Hurry, they've all disappeared!"
If Chen Zhaodi could ride a bike, she probably would have abandoned Huang Eryuan and followed him.
Having no other choice, Huang Eryuan resigned himself to his fate and rode his bike to catch up with Huang Jianjun and the others.
However, as they followed, Huang Eryuan felt something was amiss: "Wife, look at that car ahead, are they also following Lao Er and the others?"
Why would Huang Eryuan say that?
Because the car in front was carrying Mu's father and mother. The important point is that Mu's father and mother were bundled up very tightly.
Mu's father was wearing a mask and a hat.
Mother Mu went even further, wrapping her entire face with a silk scarf, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Keep in mind that it's September now, which is almost the hottest time of the year.
Two people wrapped up tightly appeared on the street, and anyone who saw them would find them a bit strange.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaodi peeked out and exclaimed, "You know what, it really is!"
"Look, that man is riding very slowly too, and he's been following the second brother the whole time!"
"Honey, you go after them. We'll stop them and see what they're up to."
Because Huang Jianjun and Mu Shengnan had already seen each other's photos, neither of their parents went along.
However, Mu's father and his family knew Chen Zhaodi and her family because Huang Jianjun's photo was a family portrait.
But Mu Shengnan was different, so Chen Zhaodi didn't recognize them.
Seeing people staring at them on the street, Mr. Mu asked somewhat uneasily, "Wife, is it inappropriate for us to dress like this?"
Mu's mother looked at herself, then at Mu's father, and felt a little uneasy.
Seeing the people around them staring curiously, they said, feeling guilty but still stubborn, "It's nothing, just normal attire."
"They probably look at us because they've never seen such beautiful silk scarves before."
"Really?"
Mr. Mu still felt it didn't quite look like it...
"Really, really, just focus on riding your bike and don't worry about what other people are thinking."
"Remember this: those who accomplish great things do not concern themselves with trifles. The opinions of others must not become obstacles to our progress!"
Although, but... what does this have to do with them dressing strangely and stalking their own daughters on dates?
Mu's father didn't understand, but he was obedient.
At a bend in the road, Huang Eryuan caught up with Mu's father and his group, and then cut them off.
Huang Eryuan shouted sternly, "Who are you people?! Why are you following them so suspiciously?"
Mr. and Mrs. Mu recognized them as Huang Jianjun's parents.
Awkwardly pulling down his mask and scarf, he forced a laugh and said, "Um, you must be Comrade Huang Jianjun's parents?"
"We are Mu Shengnan's parents. It's our first time meeting. Hello, hehe..."
Mu's father was sweating on his back, not from the heat, but from feeling guilty.
After all, it was rather awkward that their first meeting with their future in-laws was because they were following Huang Jianjun and his group.
However, Mu's father immediately realized what was going on.
Does Huang Eryuan and his group's presence here mean they are also tracking Huang Jianjun and his group?
When Chen Zhaodi heard Mu's mother and the others introduce themselves, she knew they had embarrassed themselves in front of their future in-laws...
And so, the two sets of parents unexpectedly had an impolite and awkward meeting on the street.
"hehe..."
"hehe..."
The group of people laughed awkwardly at each other for a few minutes.
Finally, Chen Zhaodi, relying on the thick skin she had developed in the family compound, broke the deadlock.
"Hey, how about we follow them and take a look?"
"We were just curious because it was Jianjun's first time dating, and we happened to be going the same way, so we came to check it out, haha."
Yes, it was on the way.
Although the family compound and the state-run restaurant are in different directions, the earth is round, and you'll eventually get back to the family compound by going around in circles.
Chen Zhaodi tried hard to convince herself that she wasn't lying, but just trying to maintain a good image in front of her future in-laws.
"Yes, we were going that way too. We just didn't feel like cooking today, so we thought we'd eat out. Hehe."
At this moment, the auntie in charge of buying and cooking for the Mu family thought: So, all the food she prepared was ultimately wasted...
They gave each other a way out, introduced themselves, and then continued on their way to the state-run restaurant.
Chen Zhaodi and Mu's mother chatted happily all the way, with both families making their way to each other in a joyful atmosphere.
Huang Jianguo, who was all alone at home, kept reheating the dishes over and over again.
He kept recalling, could it be that he remembered it wrong?
Wasn't it just Huang Jianjun who wasn't coming back for dinner? Why is it that even Chen Zhaodi and the others haven't returned yet?
After it got completely dark, Huang Jianguo, who still hadn't seen anyone come home, silently looked at the food in front of him before finally picking up his chopsticks.
