Hua Yingbiao was so frightened that he drove very carefully the whole way.
He felt that his disdain was not obvious, at least he did not criticize Mu Huaixi in person, but he was caught by his brother.
The compound was not far from the palace. When they arrived, it was just after get off work, and there were many people coming and going in the compound. When they saw Ying Mingcheng, they were surprised at first, and then started chatting with him with a smile.
Hua Yingbiao followed him obediently and visited all the stores where he was going to give New Year gifts. It was almost time for dinner.
In order to pick up Mingcheng today, he barely ate a bite of lunch and his stomach was growling with hunger. Normally, he would have dragged Cheng brother out for a delicious meal, but now he didn't quite understand what his brother meant. He was afraid that if he asked, he would be rejected, which would be really embarrassing for him.
Ying Mingcheng came out of the Military Commission's house, took out the last gift from the trunk, and called out to the dejected Hua Zi, "Let's go to your house to give the gift."
"Hey!" Hua Yingbiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly followed, taking advantage of the situation. "Brother, why don't you have dinner at my house? My grandma just cooked some big bones yesterday."
"Eating at your house, aren't you afraid that my grandma will call and scold you?" Ying Mingcheng glanced at him and saw him touching his nose awkwardly. "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal in a couple of days, and we can all get together."
"Okay!" Hua Yingbiao came back to life immediately.
Ying Mingcheng went to his house to pay New Year's greetings politely, and when he was about to see him off, he stopped him and said, "Okay, someone is here to pick me up, go back and have dinner!"
"Yeah," Hua Yingbiao obeyed very well, smiling and waving at him, "Goodbye, brother!"
Ying Mingcheng also waved his hand and said, "Remember what I said today."
Hua Yingbiao was clingy when he was a child, and he didn't change much when he grew up. Ying Mingcheng looked at him like his own younger brother, but he still knew who was closer to him, brother or wife.
Ying Mingcheng knew that Hua Yingbiao felt that Xiaoxi was of humble origin, but as the old man had said, they had abandoned their former wealthy status not to create a higher class, but for the well-being of all mankind.
He thinks Xiao Xi is very good, especially very good, but these good things do not need to be known to outsiders. Those who do not agree with Xiao Xi do not agree with him, so there is no need to interact with them.
When he returned home, the restaurant was already filled with delicious food.
"Blood sausage, sweet and sour pork, flavored shrimp, stewed beef, and fried rice balls are all your aunt Xiao Luo's specialties. Xiao Xi, you must eat more!" Grandma held Xiao Hui in her arms and introduced a table of delicious food with a smile.
Mu Huaixi nodded and thanked Aunt Dachu and Aunt Xiaoluo who were standing beside her, "Thank you, Aunt Xiaoluo, and thank you, Aunt Dachu, for always making delicious food for me!"
Aunt Da Chu smiled and nodded, but Aunt Xiao Luo felt a little embarrassed and hid back again.
She heard Ying Mingcheng talk about the two aunts. Aunt Chu had lost her loved ones before her. Her husband and son died before her. She was driven out of the village and had no land or house. When she was about to commit suicide, she was brought back by her grandmother. Aunt Luo was young and had never been married. It was said that she was sold in exchange for a bride by her family and ran back on her own.
They were afraid that life would be very hard for them if they were living outside, so they came to work for the Ying family as relatives and had long regarded this place as their home.
Aunt Da Chu and Aunt Xiao Luo both watched Ying Mingcheng and his brothers and sisters grow up. Ying Mingcheng said that he would take care of the two aunts in their old age. It can be said that you raised me when I was young and I will take care of you when you are old.
Grandpa and grandma had already prepared a small courtyard for them. They connected the east wing and the main house to form a huge suite. There was a mahogany step-out bed in the bedroom. Not to mention the three of them, even if there were three or four more children, it could easily sleep there.
When Ying Wuhui arrived at the new place, he looked around curiously and fell asleep earlier than usual. Seeing how obedient and sensible he was, his grandmother loved him so much that she almost held him in her mouth for fear that he would melt.
Even Mr. Ying was particularly fond of his great-grandson. He would squat beside the bed and watch Xiaohui blowing bubbles while he was sleeping for more than ten minutes.
After learning that Xiaohui rarely woke up at night and that even if he did wake up, he would just need to be fed, the grandmother took the baby away without hesitation and said, "There is milk powder in the room. If he wakes up at night, just feed him with milk powder."
Mu Huaixi was still a little worried, but Ying Mingcheng sent Huihui out directly, "We've been taking care of that brat for a few days, it's time for us to get some good sleep."
He said this in front of his grandparents, and Mu Huaixi couldn't help but glare at him. It was really ambiguous.
The house is heated, and even the bathroom is warm.
Don't worry about Xiaohui. Mu Huaixi also took a nice bath and felt alive. She took half an hour to bathe, but Ying Mingcheng only needed five minutes.
When he came out shirtless, Mu Huaixi's hair was still dripping with water. He took the towel from her hand and helped her wipe her hair.
Mu Huaixi's hair was cut short in the early stages of pregnancy, but now it has grown longer than before. She took good care of herself during the confinement period and often ate fermented glutinous rice, sesame, vinegar and eggs. Her hair was as shiny as satin and felt very heavy in the palm of her hand.
The dry towel absorbed the moisture from her hair. Ying Mingcheng then took the comb, dipped it in hair oil, and helped her comb her long hair smoothly.
When Mu Huaixi was still pregnant, Ying Mingcheng would help her wash her hair, and he was also good at wiping her hair and applying hair oil.
Ying Mingcheng's hands were very strong, but he was very gentle when brushing her hair. He would also give her a massage from time to time, which she really enjoyed.
Her hair was not dry yet, but she was already drowsy leaning on the beauty chair beside the bed. When Ying Mingcheng's hand touched her calf, she shuddered and bent her legs, looking at him warily.
Ying Mingcheng was stunned, and pulled her legs back with a look of laughter and tears. "What are you thinking about all day? Let me massage your legs. Aren't you tired after sitting on the train for two days?"
Mu Huaixi was certainly tired, but she felt that Ying Mingcheng didn't look tired at all, and even had the energy to make herself more tired. She opened her mouth to argue, but Ying Mingcheng's hand had already pressed on her calf, and the slightest touch made her calf sore that she almost couldn't help crying out.
Ying Mingcheng even prepared massage oil, which made her swollen calves feel soft after a few strokes. When he stopped, Mu Huaixi only felt her legs were numb but also a little relaxed. Lying on the bed was like lying on a soft cloud, and she fell into a good sleep instantly.
When Ying Mingcheng came back after washing his hands, he saw her already fast asleep with the quilt in her arms. Her cheeks were flushed from the massage, her eyelashes were long and slender, and she looked like a little girl, not at all like a mother.
"Are you so tired?" Ying Mingcheng reached out and pinched her nose. She immediately opened her mouth, frowned and tried to shake his hand away.
Ying Mingcheng found it interesting, but was afraid of disturbing her sleep, so he reluctantly let go of her hand and turned to massage her arms.
Long journeys are the most tiring. Even with the help of him and Aunt Da Chu, Xiaohui still relies on his mother the most. Mu Huaixi has to feed him and coax him to sleep. Even when he sleeps, he is still worried about Xiaohui and calls Xiaobao's name in his dreams.
Ying Mingcheng saw it all and kept it in mind.
