Li Mu sensed Lin Wan's change, and carefully picked her up and placed her on a chair next to the dining table. He smiled and said, "Wait here. I'll call Aunt Wang and Ruoruo to come over for dinner."
Lin Wan smiled with her eyebrows curved, and replied in a low voice: "Okay."
Li Mu, who had eaten a sweet date, walked to the wall of the next courtyard with joy in his eyes and shouted inside: "Aunt Wang, come and eat."
After saying that, he entered the house carrying the meal that had been prepared long ago.
Aunt Wang came over holding Ruoruo, who had just woken up. When Ruoruo saw her father, she wanted to rush forward and hug him, but was stopped by Aunt Wang.
Ruoruo pouted a little aggrievedly, sniffed, and was about to cry when she saw Lin Wan walking out of the house.
She pretended to be about to cry and looked at Lin Wan. Seeing her daughter so cute, Lin Wan smiled and walked forward, hugged her daughter in her arms, and comforted her softly: "My dear, don't cry."
After Lin Wan's comfort, Ruoruo regained her original lively self and happily pulled Aunt Wang to sit inside.
Li Mu brought a bowl of chicken soup to each of the three people, and added a chicken leg for Grandma Wang and Ruoruo. Lin Wan picked up a small chicken leg, but he only had a bowl of soup for himself.
Aunt Wang smiled and put the chicken leg into Li Mu's bowl and said, "I'm old, I can't eat chicken legs anymore, you young people can eat them."
...
...
When Li Mu heard Aunt Wang say this, he was about to refuse, but Aunt Wang picked up the chicken soup and drank it all.
Li Mu had no choice but to accept it silently. During the meal, Lin Wan picked up a lot of dishes for Li Mu. Li Mu was so satisfied with the meal tonight that he looked at Lin Wan with such tender eyes that tears almost came out.
————————————————-
After dinner, Aunt Wang considered that Li Mu had a cold, so she discussed with the two of them and decided to take Ruoruo to the next room to rest. Lin Wan and the others didn't say much.
After Aunt Wang took Ruoruo back, Li Mu told Lin Wan about his plan to set up a stall.
Hearing Li Mu mention grilled fish, Lin Wan asked in confusion: "Grilled fish, what grilled fish? Is it the kind we grilled by the river before?"
Li Mu smiled and scratched Lin Wan's nose, then said, "No, I'll cook for you tomorrow. I don't know how the fish pond is doing. I have to go to the fish pond tomorrow to check it out. Do you want to go back to my hometown with me?"
"Go back to my hometown? Um... didn't the house in my hometown collapse?" Lin Wan was a little stunned when she heard Li Mu say this, because after so many years of marriage, this was the first time that Li Mu took the initiative to take her back to his hometown.
"We will go there and come back on the same day. We will not live in our hometown." Li Mu took Lin Wan's hand and said seriously.
Lin Wan thought about it and decided to go and take a look. She didn't know how Li Mu's newly built fish pond was doing. As the boss's wife, how could she not have seen it?
"Well, why don't we take Grandma Zhou with us tomorrow? Isn't Grandma Zhou from the same hometown as you?"
Thinking about going back to the countryside tomorrow, Lin Wan immediately wanted to take Grandma Zhou with her.
But what Lin Wan didn't know was that Grandma Zhou hadn't been back to her hometown in many years because she was getting older and had to sit for a long time every time, and the bus was stuffy.
Hearing Lin Wan's request, Li Mu frowned a little and said hesitantly: "Grandma might go. She suffers from severe motion sickness."
"Ah, is there no way to make grandma feel better? If this is the case, grandma will never be able to return home again."
When Lin Wan thought of this, she felt a little depressed, as if there was something stuck in her heart.
Li Mu felt uncomfortable seeing Lin Wan like this. He could only hug Lin Wan in his arms soothing her and constantly stroke her hair to comfort her.
Both of them were silent for a long time.
Lin Wan lay in Li Mu's arms. When she raised her head slightly, she could see the man's newly emerged stubble. It even felt a little prickly when she touched it with her fingertips.
She stroked the man's cheek with her fingers and said in a low voice, "Can't you think of a solution, Li Mu?"
Hearing his wife's expectant words, Li Mu didn't know how to respond to the woman in front of him and just remained silent.
Lin Wan was not annoyed, but just waited quietly for Li Mu to come up with a solution.
In order not to disappoint Lin Wan's expectations, he decided to go to the station and ask if he could charter a car to go back. If that was not possible, he would have to hurry up and make money so that he could buy a car and drive his family back home.
"I'll ask grandma later and see what she thinks. It's useless for us to talk here for a long time. The most important thing is to see grandma's own opinion."
Li Mu comforted Lin Wandao.
"Okay, then you can pick up grandma later to have dinner together." After saying that, Lin Wan went out to find Grandma Wang.
——————
Thinking of Lin Wan's words, Li Mu thought for a moment and went out to find Grandma Zhou.
"Grandma, are you home?"
Li Mu stood outside the yard and shouted towards the inner room.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Mu still hadn't received any reply from Grandma Zhou, so he went into the house to take a look.
After entering the house, Li Mu looked around but didn't see Grandma Zhou, so he wanted to go inside to check.
“Xiao Mu... Huh... Huh... why are you here?” Hearing Grandma Zhou’s labored voice coming from behind him, Li Mu turned around and saw Grandma Zhou carrying a bag of vegetables towards home with some difficulty.
Li Mu quickly stepped forward, took the things from Grandma Zhou's hand, and said, "Grandma, why are you carrying so many things?"
Grandma Zhou smiled and said, "I have nothing to do at home, so I bought some more so I don't have to go out all the time."
Hearing grandma say this, Li Mu hurriedly said: "Grandma, do you want to go see Qiangzi?"
"Of course I want to, but grandma is old and can't walk anymore."
Grandma Zhou looked at Li Mu lovingly and said.
Hearing what Grandma Zhou said, Li Mu didn't say anything, but just silently put the things into the house.
"Kid, why don't you speak? Are you thirsty or do you want some water?"
Grandma Zhou held the table with her hands and looked at Li Mu beside her and asked.
Li Mu took Grandma Zhou's hand, pressed the old woman into her seat, and said, "Come back with me later, Grandma. I'll take you to find Qiangzi tomorrow."
After hearing what Li Mu said, Grandma Zhou wanted to say something else, but Li Mu's eyes revealed a firmness that made it difficult for Grandma Zhou to refuse, and she sighed helplessly.
Seeing that Grandma Zhou didn't say anything more, Li Mu stood up without thinking and prepared to pack some of Grandma Zhou's luggage. He would take Grandma Zhou home for dinner later. The four of them would set off early tomorrow morning.
But in order to prevent Grandma Zhou from getting carsick, Li Mu decided to charter a car to go back to his hometown.
