"Auntie! Dun Dun is angry!"
Dun Dun crossed his arms with a particularly imposing air and loudly hummed at Huang Qinqin: "Hmph!"
Huang Qinqin was confused and even looked at Dundun with an innocent expression: "Why is Dundun angry?"
After saying that one sentence, she covered her face and started faking tears even more intensely.
"Auntie is so sad! Dun Dun actually whined at Auntie, waaaaah~"
Huang Jianmin, never one to miss a good spectacle, added fuel to the fire, saying, "Oh dear, Dundun, why did you make your aunt cry?"
"How could you grumble at your aunt? She just said she likes you the most."
"Tsk tsk tsk~ How could you treat her like that? No wonder she cried so hard~"
When Dun Dun saw Huang Qinqin suddenly cover her face and start crying, he suspected that she was faking it to deceive him.
Because Huang Qinqin has done this kind of thing quite a lot in the past.
So even though Huang Jianmin was adding fuel to the fire and Huang Qinqin was 'wailing and crying', Dundun remained calm.
He calmly circled around Huang Qinqin, then asked in confusion, "Auntie, did you really cry?"
When Dun Dun asked her that question, Huang Qinqin paused for a moment while covering her face and shaking.
However, Huang Qinqin soon started crying even louder and buried her face in Xu Junhui's arms.
Seeing that Dun Dun hadn't fallen for the trick, Huang Jianmin continued to try again.
"DunDun, how could you doubt your aunt like that?"
"She's crying so loudly, you're hurting her feelings by doing this!"
Dun Dun sighed deeply: "Sigh~"
Dundun shook his head in distress, putting his hands behind his back. He felt that adults were really too much of a worry for him.
"But my aunt cried for so long, and not a single tear came out!"
"My second aunt said that if Kang Kang is just making a lot of noise but it doesn't actually rain, then he's just faking it and we don't need to pay attention to him~"
Huang Qinqin and Huang Jianmin: ...
This is quite awkward. Huang Qinqin and Huang Jianmin put in such a great effort, but in the end, they were defeated by this detail.
Since it was demolished, Huang Qinqin decided not to install it anymore.
However, she didn't feel embarrassed or guilty at all.
She even started to argue: "Auntie wasn't pretending to cry, but rather she was holding back her tears and not letting them fall."
"Actually, my aunt is really, really sad. I'm so sad too."
Seeing Huang Qinqin insisting that she was very sad, Dun Dun said helplessly, "Okay~"
"Then Dundun apologized to his aunt~ I'm sorry~"
"DunDun shouldn't have been whining to Auntie just now. Auntie isn't sad anymore, okay?"
Huang Qinqin wasn't that unreasonable; since Dundun had given her a way out, she readily accepted it.
"Okay, okay~ then Auntie won't be sad anymore."
As a side note, Dun Dun had no recollection that he had originally come to question Huang Qinqin.
After confirming that there were no problems with the photos of Dun Dun, Huang Qinqin and the others gathered together to prepare for taking a family photo.
They didn't need to pose for photos, so the shoot was over quickly.
At everyone's strong suggestion, Grandma Huang and Grandpa Huang also took a separate photo together.
In the last month of 1966, they took their first family photo.
......
Xu Weiguo looked at Mu's father and mother, completely baffled as to why they had come to find him.
He seems to have only met Mu's father a few times and exchanged a few words with him, but they don't seem to be very familiar with each other.
Mr. Mu was also a little embarrassed. He said he couldn't just come over for a visit; now it's all so awkward.
"Well, we just came from Jianjun's house and then came to visit you."
"After all, we and Jianjun's family are in-laws, so we can visit each other more often in the future."
"Right? Hahaha"
They had been inside for several minutes, but after exchanging greetings, the atmosphere became awkward.
Mu's mother had no choice but to bite the bullet, ignore the awkward atmosphere, and start making small talk.
Upon hearing what Mu's mother said, Zhang Yumei quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we can visit each other more often in the future."
"Hey, how about you stay for lunch? We can chat a bit more, haha."
Zhang Yumei's true thoughts: If they agreed to stay for dinner, she could use the excuse of going to buy groceries to slip away.
Otherwise, it would be really awkward for a few of us to be sitting here without saying a word.
Since Mu's father and the others didn't say anything, Zhang Yumei and the others didn't feel comfortable asking too directly.
But if you're talking about casual chats, Zhang Yumei and the others had only met once, during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
All she knew was that Huang Jianjun and Mu Shengnan got married; she knew absolutely nothing about Mu's father and mother.
Even if she wanted to chat with them, she couldn't find a starting point; it was really too difficult.
When Mu's mother heard that she had asked her to stay for dinner, she quickly waved her hand and refused, saying, "No need, no need, we've already bought the groceries."
"Well, we came here today mainly because we have some questions we'd like to ask you."
"If it's convenient for you, you can let us know. Of course, if it's not convenient for you, then forget it."
After waiting for ages, they finally got to the point.
Zhang Yumei and Xu Weiguo straightened up at the same time and said in unison, "It's okay, go ahead and ask!"
"Ahem, then I'll just ask directly."
Mother Mu looked at Zhang Yumei and the others with a serious expression and said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's like this."
“We had Shengnan and her husband move out so that it would be easier for them to go to work, and then we transferred a house to Jianjun.”
"Now, we're going to transfer Shengnan's job here so they can move back home."
"But then another problem arose: Jianjun and his parents both said they wanted to return the house to us."
"We're thinking that everything we have in the future will be left to Shengnan."
"Besides, it's just a small house, not worth mentioning to us, so we don't want to go through all the hassle of moving around."
“We tried to persuade them to accept it, but no matter what we said, they refused.”
"I had no other choice. We were about to give up when we suddenly realized that your family is just as well-off as ours."
"So I thought I'd come and ask you if there's any way to persuade them to take the house?"
After she finished speaking, Mu's mother looked at them with a particularly sincere and expectant expression.
Zhang Yumei and Xu Weiguo: ...
They felt both heartbroken and furious. Was this guy just showing off?!
Xu Weiguo really wanted to say that his family's conditions were much worse than the Mu family's, but could he say it?
He can't!!!
Even if it's just to save face, Xu Weiguo can't show weakness.
