Chapter 2437 Extra: Four-Year-Old DouDou
As soon as the convoy entered the city, Shu Yu heard a familiar voice.
“Ayu”.
She looked up and saw a young woman standing in front of a carriage not far away, holding a little boy's hand.
Shu Yu smiled; it had been more than four years since she had last seen Xiao Ruojun.
She stepped down from the carriage and strode toward the two of them.
Xiao Ruojun smiled brightly and quickly pulled her son forward a couple of steps.
"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time."
"Yes, you haven't changed at all."
“Aren’t you one too?” Shu Yu said, looking down at the little boy beside her. “This must be Dou Dou, right?”
Upon hearing her nickname, DouDou's chubby little face, which had been tense, stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and looked up to greet Lu Auntie very politely.
After greeting him, he looked behind Shu Yu.
Strange, didn't Mother say that Aunt Lu brought Mianmian along?
Although DouDou had never met MianMian, Uncle Meng had sent a letter to his father, which was full of boastful words, saying that he had a cute and well-behaved daughter, and even a little portrait of MianMian.
Why haven't I seen him yet?
Xiao Ruojun noticed it too. She looked around and asked in surprise, "Where's your little girl?"
Shu Yu said helplessly, "She played too wildly with Huo Huo on the way here, and she was exhausted when we were almost in the city. Now both children are sleeping."
"Really?" Xiao Ruojun couldn't resist the urge and walked towards their carriage. She peeked inside through the curtain and saw the two children fast asleep, their heads close together.
DouDou tried standing on tiptoe, but unfortunately she was too short and had to give up.
Fortunately, Xiao Ruojun quickly lowered her voice and said to Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng, "Let's go, let's go home for dinner. My husband was originally going to come and pick you up, but he didn't know when you would arrive in the city, and he had a lot of things to do, so he had to go ahead. However, he repeatedly told me to make sure I brought you back. We've prepared dinner at home to welcome you back. My husband and I have missed you both very much since we last met four years ago."
This time, neither of them refused. "Okay."
Shu Yu told Yuan Gui to lead the convoy to unload the goods first, and then go back to the inn to rest early.
Xiao Ruojun also invited Mr. Hejiang, but the latter waved his hand, saying that he would be even busier than Meng Yunzheng once he arrived in the capital. "I have to see two old friends later, so I won't bother you."
As for Song Le and Wei Qin, they wanted to go back to the inn first and buy some things later, as they were going to visit Aunt Hong's house tomorrow.
In the end, only Meng Yunzheng and a few others followed the Xiang family.
Xiao Ruojun took her son back to the carriage and was surprised to find that he, who always liked to act like a little adult, was actually quite excited.
"DouDou, are you in a good mood today?"
Dou Dou is a little over a year older than Mian Mian, and is already four years old this year. He has inherited the best features of his parents and is handsome and refined.
That's his personality—he's incredibly mature. Even when Xiang Weinan took him to see the emperor, he remained remarkably calm, which surprised the emperor.
Xiang Weinan and Xiao Ruojun were both very puzzled. Although they weren't exactly eccentric, they weren't this steady either. Who did their son take after?
Today was a rare day when Xiao Ruojun saw Dou Dou make this expression.
DouDou's lips twitched slightly. "I'm in a good mood every day."
