"Wife, wife? Shengnan!"
Huang Jianjun noticed that Mu Shengnan had fallen into a daze after hearing his words, and he was curious about what she was thinking.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Mu Shengnan was finally brought back to her senses by Huang Jianjun's call.
"It's getting late, we should head to my parents' house."
Since Huang Jianjun didn't have a watch, he took Mu Shengnan's hand, tapped her watch, and gestured for her to check the time.
Mu Shengnan looked up and realized it was already past nine o'clock, so she quickly got up and prepared to go out.
She guessed that Mu's father and mother must have been waiting for them to come back early in the morning.
Because they only had one bicycle at home, Huang Eryuan and his family left it with Huang Jianjun and his family today.
When he went out on his bike, Huang Jianjun felt that he still needed to save some money to buy his own bicycle.
Before they owned a single bicycle, they didn't think there was anything wrong with walking.
However, ever since they bought a bicycle, whenever they go to a far place or carry a lot of things, they only want to ride the bicycle.
But with so many people in the family, one bicycle isn't enough.
Just like now, he and Mu Shengnan are going back to their parents' home, so Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi will have to walk to work.
......
Mu Family
Mu's mother and Wang's mother got up very early this morning.
Although they didn't think the Huang family would bully Mu Shengnan, this was, after all, Mu Shengnan's first time leaving home.
Mr. and Mrs. Mu were both very uncomfortable with it. Mrs. Mu even had the urge to ask Huang Jianjun if he would be willing to move in with them.
However, her remaining rationality told her that this was not very realistic.
"Wang Ma, do you think we're missing anything? Aren't these dishes a bit too little?"
Looking at the kitchen overflowing with meat and vegetables, Wang Ma repeated for the umpteenth time, "There's a lot. If we cook it all, we won't be able to finish it all in a day."
"Miss, why don't you go out and chat with the young master, or go check if Shengnan and the others have returned? I'll take care of the kitchen."
Knowing she couldn't be of much help, Mu's mother reluctantly went out.
After coming out, she didn't see Mu's father in the yard, so she went to the gate to take a look.
Finding that Mu Shengnan and the others hadn't arrived yet, she went back to her room to find Mu's father.
As soon as she entered the room, Mu's mother saw Mu's father rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
"What are you looking for? Why did you dig out all these old books?"
Upon hearing Mu's mother's voice, Mu's father said anxiously, "Wife, you've come at the right time."
"Please help me find one quickly. I remember the city gave us a small apartment before, didn't it?"
"I remember the property certificate was kept here, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time."
The "small house" that Mu's father mentioned was a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen house that was very close to the Mu family home.
That house was a compensation from the city to Mu's mother's elders when they donated the food factory and other property.
Later, it was brought over by Mu's mother as part of her dowry.
However, because the house was too small, they had no intention of moving in and the plan remained unsuccessful.
It took Mu's mother a while to remember which house Mu's father was referring to.
She walked over to Mu's father and pointed to a box, saying, "It seems to be at the very bottom of this box."
Following her instructions, Mr. Mu opened the box and took out the clothes and jewelry on top. Sure enough, at the very bottom, he found a pile of property deeds.
"Found it! This is the house!" Mr. Mu exclaimed excitedly, holding up the property certificate.
"Why are you looking for the property certificate for this house? Are you planning to rent it out? I think it's not allowed to rent out houses anymore, is it?"
Because the housing management office no longer allows houses to be rented out, Mu's mother hasn't looked at these property ownership certificates for a long time.
Aside from the recent transfer of a courtyard house to Mu Shengnan at the housing management office.
Mr. Mu shook his head and said excitedly, "No, I plan to give this house to Jianjun."
"Give it to Jianjun? You mean transfer it to Shengnan?"
Mu's mother thought that he felt that giving Mu Shengnan only one house before was not enough, and now he wanted to give her another one.
Then he suggested, "This set seems a bit too small. I remember there are a few larger ones in the city."
Mr. Mu waved his hand and handed the property certificate to Mrs. Mu with a smile. Then he prepared to put the other things away.
"It's not a transfer to Shengnan. I plan to transfer it directly to Jianjun."
"Think about it, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to just have Jianjun and Shengnan come and stay at our house?"
"The house I chose is only a few hundred meters from our home. If Jianjun and Shengnan move in, they can come back for dinner every day!"
“If we transfer the house to Jianjun, then they will be living in their own home, which is a different story.”
"Honey, do you think my idea is feasible?"
Mr. Mu had thought about it for a long time. He was reluctant to part with his daughter, but he also didn't want Huang Jianjun to be treated as a live-in son-in-law.
Finally, a compromise solution came up.
The more Mu's mother listened, the brighter her eyes became.
She slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Brilliant! This is a great idea! When Shengnan and the others come back, we'll just tell them this!"
Actually, there is another drawback to this approach: it's uncertain whether Huang Jianjun's family will object.
However, based on her previous interactions with Chen Zhaodi and the others, Mu's mother felt that Chen Zhaodi and the others were relatively easy to get along with.
She believed that as long as she communicated with them properly, they would be able to understand.
When Huang Jianjun and Mu Shengnan arrived, they found that there was no one in the Mu family courtyard. They looked at each other in bewilderment after entering.
Mu Shengnan thought that her father and the others would miss her very much and would definitely be waiting for them in the yard or even outside the gate.
When she got home, she realized that she had been overthinking things.
"Jianjun, put your things on the table first, I'll go inside and find Mom and Dad."
Huang Jianjun nodded somewhat uneasily, wondering with some concern: Did his parents dislike him, which was why they were hiding in their room and not coming out?
After putting his things away, Huang Jianjun sat down somewhat awkwardly, silently praying that Shengnan's parents wouldn't dislike him.
Knock knock knock
"Dad, Mom, are you in your room?"
Upon hearing Mu Shengnan's voice, Mu's mother excitedly replied, "Yes! Shengnan, you're back?!"
Mu's mother excitedly opened the door, pulled Mu Shengnan up and down, looked her over from all sides, and then said with relief, "She hasn't lost weight, so it seems she hasn't been bullied."
"Mom, you're overthinking it. How could Jianjun and the others bully me?"
Remembering the awkwardness of no one greeting them earlier, Mu Shengnan asked directly, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing in the room?"
"When we got home, there was no one in the yard. People who didn't know better would have thought you didn't welcome us back."
