After working non-stop for several days, Xu Xinning finally got a day off. She didn't know how Wu's second daughter-in-law knew that Yang's eldest cousin was getting married, but she came to find Xu Xinning early in the morning.
Seeing Wu's second son's wife enter the door, Xu Xinning, who was eating breakfast, was about to stand up when Mu Jingheng stopped her, saying, "You've finished eating, she won't mind."
Wu's second son's wife seemed to be in good spirits today. Seeing Xu Xinning eating breakfast, she walked over without any hesitation.
The aunt greeted me with a smile, "Have you eaten?"
Wu's second son's wife: "I've eaten. We old folks are light sleepers and get up early. I've already taken a walk around the courtyard."
Auntie: "Then eat some more, the steamed buns are so fluffy today."
Wu's second son's wife didn't stand on ceremony: "Oh my! I have to try it."
Mu Jingheng stood up and pulled out a chair for Wu's second daughter-in-law, and even served her a bowl of spicy soup.
When Wu's second son's wife saw the spicy soup, she laughed: "I didn't expect you guys to make this stuff. I haven't had it in ages."
Xu Xinning: "I wanted to eat it. My aunt spoils me. As soon as I said I wanted to drink it, she made it for me."
Wu's second son's wife: "You're not alone now. If you want to eat, it means the little ones in your belly want to eat. I'll be happy to do it."
The aunt laughed heartily: "That's right! Now, as long as Ningning says what she wants to eat, I'm happier than anything else."
Wu's second son's wife: "When the two children are born, the house will be so lively!"
Aunt: "I've been looking forward to this. Before, it was just the two of us, the old chief and the chief, who were always busy. They would only come home to sleep almost every day. Back then, I felt like a useless person who couldn't help with anything, and I felt really bad. Now it's much better. This feels like a home."
Wu's second daughter-in-law: "With children, the feeling of home becomes even stronger. With two at once, Auntie, you probably won't be able to handle it all."
Auntie: "We still have orderly soldiers to help, so it's alright. We're not afraid of a few more coming."
Xu Xinning was amused by her aunt and joked, "Auntie, then when my sister-in-law gives birth, I'll have her send the baby back too."
Auntie: "That would be the best. It's better if several children grow up together. Whether you take care of one or two, it's the same. But with three, they'll have more company and it'll be more fun to see them together."
The group ate breakfast while chatting and laughing.
Perhaps because she was happy, Xu Xinning drank an extra bowl of spicy soup today.
The auntie's spicy soup tasted authentic and had plenty of ingredients, which suited Xu Xinning's taste perfectly.
After finishing breakfast, Xu Xinning sat on the sofa and read the newspaper.
This seems to have become something she does every day.
In those days, there weren't many channels for information. If you wanted to know about the outside world, newspapers were the best way. Whether it was national affairs or people's livelihood, you could get information through newspapers.
Xu Xinning thought that Wu's second daughter-in-law was just visiting, but she didn't expect that she was there for her cousin Yang's marriage.
To be honest, Wu's second son's wife had no relation to the Yang family, so when she said she wanted Xu Xinning to go with her to buy a wedding gift for Yang's eldest cousin, Xu Xinning was a little surprised.
She probably only met the Yang family once, at her wedding, right?
Seeing Xu Xinning's puzzled expression, Wu's second daughter-in-law explained, "Although I've only met the Yang family members once, they are your relatives. My sister treated you like her own daughter. Now that my sister is gone, you are my daughter too."
I have few family ties in this life, so I cherish them very much. Since you are my daughter, your maternal family has become my relative. If I can't go to celebrate a relative's child's wedding, how can I not send my blessings?
After hearing what Wu's second daughter-in-law said, what could Xu Xinning say?
Did she refuse?
But she seemed to have no reason to refuse the Yang family.
Besides, since she mentioned Wang Ying, Xu Xinning had even less reason to refuse.
Rejecting her would be as if she didn't acknowledge the kindness of Wang Ying, who treated her like a daughter.
Xu Xinning has already sent the wedding gift to her eldest cousin, Yang Jia. It consists of rare and sought-after items from her online space.
Wu's second son's wife said again, "I don't know what to buy either. I know you're off today, so I came to invite you to go to the department store. I heard that the department store has a new batch of bed sheets suitable for weddings. You have good taste, go and see if you young people will like them."
Mu Jingheng was worried about Xu Xinning leaving his sight.
Besides, these are extraordinary times. Enemy agents are still keeping a close eye on Xu Xinning. Perhaps they are waiting to see when the protection here will be relaxed so that they will have an opportunity to strike.
Xu Xinning called the young soldier who drove her car, and then she called Grandpa Jiang.
When Grandpa Jiang received the call, he frowned. In fact, given Xu Xinning's current condition, it was best for her not to go out, especially not to places like shopping malls.
Crowded places are easy for people to exploit.
Grandpa Jiang was already wary of Wu's second daughter-in-law, so he became even more vigilant now.
Those in their line of work will not fully trust someone unless they are certain, regardless of whether she is the kind of person they imagine her to be.
Old Master Jiang had a gut feeling that things weren't so simple today, so he specially sent out the elite team that wasn't on a mission.
Wu's second daughter-in-law was surprised that Mu Jingheng not only came along himself, but also called Xu Xinning's driver.
After getting into the car, Wu's second son's wife touched this and that with great curiosity, then sat up straight and said, "This car is really nice. I didn't expect that you would already have a car at such a young age."
Xu Xinning laughed: "I'm pregnant, and the higher-ups are so considerate that they made an exception and assigned me this."
Wu's second daughter-in-law: "That means you're capable. So many pregnant women are working, why don't they have company cars? Nannan, can your aunt call you that?"
Xu Xinning: "Auntie, you can call me whatever you like."
Wu's second daughter-in-law's eyes were red with emotion. She took Xu Xinning's hand and patted the back of her hand: "Thank you, little girl. Auntie finally understands what it feels like to have a daughter."
Xu Xinning didn't know how to deal with this situation, so she could only smile and remain silent.
It was actually a little awkward.
Wu's second daughter-in-law added, "Jingheng is so good to you. He even accompanies you when you go shopping. My dear, you made the right choice in choosing this husband."
Mu Jingheng said, "Marrying Xin'er is the greatest honor of my life, so I must protect her well."
The second daughter-in-law of the Wu family smiled through her tears, "It's good that you know. We can't let our little girl suffer any injustice."
Mu Jingheng: "How could that be? She is my life. I would rather suffer myself than let her suffer even the slightest grievance."
Wu's second son's wife deliberately touched her arm and teased, "Why do I feel goosebumps?"
