The man pointed at the bucket beside Chu Xuan and said, "How about you fetch some water and go home first, then take me to the village office? Can I go over there and have a drink? Of course, if that's not convenient, I'll wait for you here."
Chu Xuan didn't sense any malicious intent. Xiao Feng hadn't left yet, so it wasn't impossible to take the man back for a drink of water.
"That's convenient. Then please come home with me and have a glass of water."
"Thanks!"
"You are welcome."
Chu Xuan carried two buckets of water on a shoulder pole and walked home.
On the way home, neither of them spoke again.
The man did not offer to help Chu Xuan fetch water, and even if he did, Chu Xuan would not agree.
After all, he didn't look as strong as Chu Xuan.
After arriving at the door, Chu Xuan shouted into the courtyard, "Xiao Feng, there are guests at home. Hurry and welcome them into the main hall and make them a cup of honey water."
"Okay."
Chu Feng walked out of the kitchen and greeted the man enthusiastically, "Hello, uncle! Please come in."
The man responded gently, "Hello!"
After a while, Chu Feng prepared a bowl of honey water and handed it to him.
The temperature is moderate.
The man thanked Xiaofeng and drank elegantly.
At the same time, I asked Xiaofeng some questions, such as, is this a newly built house? Is it cold in the winter?
Chu Feng answered them one by one.
Chu Xuan poured the water in the bucket into the water tank and walked into the main room.
She waited patiently for the man to finish drinking before offering to take him to the village office.
The man nodded and followed Chu Xuan out.
Chu Feng planned to wait for his sister to come back before asking about the man's background.
When he arrived at the village office and told Wang Depin about it, Wang Depin agreed on the spot to use the village tractor to take the man to the county town for free.
Chu Xuan didn't know that after arriving in the county town, the man went straight to room 109 of the county guesthouse.
"Cousin, where's your cousin's wife?"
Wu Bingcheng smiled and pointed outside, "He went to the bathroom."
"I've already taken care of what my aunt asked me to do. The Chu Xuan siblings are very hospitable and polite. The house they built is very grand. It has a kang, which is very warm in winter. And Chu Xuan has lost weight and become beautiful and elegant. I'll call my aunt right now. When she hears this, she will definitely not stop you from recognizing this relative."
Wu Bingcheng said confidently, "Linlang, I've said it before, the Chu Xuan siblings are good and capable. But my mother just doesn't believe it. Call her quickly. Xiaoyun and I will wait for her to go to Nanyu Village together."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Huang Linlang walked with steady steps to the front desk of the guesthouse to make a phone call.
Tian Xiaoyun walked into the room, "Bingcheng, after breakfast, let's go see Xiaoxuan?"
"Xiao Yun, wait a little longer, okay? My mom should be here too, let's wait for her together!"
"Mother has never liked me, and even less my child. Why do you suddenly want to go with me?"
There was something that Tian Xiaoyun didn't dare to ask out loud. Could it be that he was going to sabotage her?
Wu Bingcheng comforted her softly, "Don't worry! Mom means well. She's here to support Xiaoxuan and will never sabotage her. It's true that Mom has some grievances against you, but not against the children."
"It's only natural that mother has a problem with me. After all, all the money we've earned over the years has been spent on my medical treatment. I haven't been able to give birth to a son or daughter for the Wu family. I'm sorry for you and your family."
"If you hadn't jumped into the sea to save me, I would have died. Xiaoyun, you have done me and my family no harm. I love you, and you love me, and that's enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Huang Linlang's voice came from outside the door, "Cousin, I'm about to come in!"
I could hear my cousin confessing his love to his wife through the door.
Fortunately, he was used to it.
Wu Bingcheng smiled at Tian Xiaoyun and said to the door, "Please come in."
Huang Linlang looked at Wu Bingcheng and his wife with envy. "You two have such a great relationship that everyone envies you. My aunt will probably be here around 10:30. The driver will bring her over, and then you two can ride with her to Nanyu Village! Sister-in-law, I know you miss your children so much, so please make my aunt wait for you! She specifically asked you to wait for her."
Tian Xiaoyun was very understanding. "My mother-in-law never asked me to wait for her before. It seems that this time she asked me to wait for her because it's something very important. I will wait."
Moreover, Kyoto is more than two or three hours away from here. The fact that my mother-in-law arrived around 10:30 means she was already on the way and was just waiting for Lin Lang's phone call to report.
If the mother-in-law is satisfied with the report, she will continue to come here; if she is not satisfied, she will definitely go back home.
Now it seems that my mother-in-law is satisfied.
Huang Linlang smiled and took out a red envelope from his pocket and put it in Wu Bingcheng's hand. "I have something else to do, so I won't go, but the gift money must be there. Please ask my cousin and his wife to pass it to Xiao Xuan."
Without waiting for Wu Bingcheng and his wife to thank him, he waved goodbye and left.
Tian Xiaoyun looked at Wu Bingcheng and asked softly, "It was Lin Lang who took the lead and said a lot of good things on behalf of Xiaoxuan and her brother, which convinced Mother-in-law to come to Xiaoxuan's engagement party, right?"
Wu Bingcheng gently embraced her in his arms, "It's because Xiaoxuan and his sister are truly outstanding that our mother was convinced and willing to acknowledge them as relatives."
Tian Xiaoyun naturally knew that having her mother-in-law's approval would be very beneficial to the future development of the two children. "Bingcheng, thank you for mediating and paving the way for the children."
"It's the children who have done well. No need to thank me. Thank yourself for giving birth to such wonderful children."
"I'm not a competent mother. There's not much I can do to help Xiaoxuan and his sister. This time I come back, I want to stay for a while longer."
"No problem. I heard from Lin Lang that Xiao Xuan's new house has a kang, so it won't be cold this winter."
"Great! I'll go call Xiaoxuan first so she and Xiaofeng don't worry."
"I'll accompany you."
"good."
Chu Xuan had just filled the water jar when she heard a voice from the village loudspeaker, "Chu Xuan, go to the village office to answer the phone. Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan, go to the village office to answer the phone."
At this time, Xiao Feng had already gone out to school. Chu Xuan locked the gate and rode his bike straight to the village office.
After waiting for a few minutes, the phone rang.
Answer the call.
"Hello……"
Tian Xiaoyun recognized Chu Xuan's voice, "Xiao Xuan, it's me."
"Mom, have you and Uncle Wu arrived? Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
Tian Xiaoyun didn't say she had arrived, otherwise she would have had to explain a lot over the phone. "We'll probably be there around eleven. This time, not only will your Uncle Wu and I be there, but your Uncle Wu's mother will be there too. When you see her, you and Xiaofeng can call her Grandma Huang or just Grandma."
This never happened in my previous life.
In her previous life, until she was killed, she had never seen Uncle Wu and the old lady of the Wu family.
Chu Xuan was very happy that he could come to your house in this life.
She knew that this was the goodwill shown by the Wu family and that the Wu family valued her mother.
"Okay. Mom, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"She doesn't have any dietary restrictions. And the old lady especially likes seafood."
"Okay, there's guaranteed to be plenty of seafood. We'll have lunch at my house. It's spacious and there's plenty of room for everyone. My in-laws will be here to keep us company."
Tian Xiaoyun could feel how much the Mu family valued Xiaoxuan.
"Okay, that's great! Where's Xiaofeng? Is he going to school now?"
"Yes."
The mother and daughter chatted for a few more words on the phone before hanging up.
As soon as Chu Xuan walked out of the village office, he saw Mu Chenze waiting outside the door.
With a happy face, "Why are you here?"
