Su Nanxi prepared some candy and cookies for them to take back, and since the fruit looked good, she also put some on the menu.
Zhang Cuicui and Chen Ahua happily returned home. After hearing this, the villagers were also intrigued, wondering if they could also get so many delicious things from the Mo family. They wondered if they should give it a try.
Thinking that Zhang Cuicui and the others had brought things with them, some people followed suit and brought some of their own things, and then they actually went to the Mo family.
Guests are always welcome, and the Mo family will not refuse visits unless the visitor is looking for trouble or causing problems.
Therefore, although those who brought gifts to the Mo family had a specific purpose, the Mo family still gave them candy and biscuits to take back, though the amount was naturally not comparable to that given to Zhang Cuicui and the others.
I was just hoping for a lucky break, and I didn't really expect to get what I wanted. So when I saw that it actually worked, I was incredibly happy!
As I left the Mo family home, my mouth was practically stretched to my ears in a wide grin, and I felt incredibly light on my feet.
These days, not everyone can afford to eat candy and cookies all the time!
Even today, candy and cookies are still precious items, and being able to enjoy them occasionally is already a very happy thing!
Besides, the candies and cookies the Mo family gave us were clearly not ordinary ones!
With such exquisite packaging, it must be quite expensive!
This is not something they can afford; it is extremely precious to them!
How could I not be happy?
I can brag about it to people for a long time to come!
Seeing that there was a chance, the others were also tempted and wanted the candy and cookies too!
So, as long as the villagers weren't on bad terms with the Mo family, they all brought baskets and went to the Mo family's house, ostensibly saying that Su Nanxi hadn't been back for a long time and they missed her, so they came to visit.
Since the others were so thoughtful, the Mo family naturally couldn't be impolite, so they returned the favor by sending gifts to each of them, just like they had to to the others before.
They are all the same, and there is no bias towards either side.
The villagers didn't have much to give as gifts; they mostly gave homemade pastries, everyday trinkets, or wild vegetables they'd dug up from the mountains—nothing particularly valuable.
The Mo family didn't expect to get rich by collecting these things, so they didn't care at all.
The back-and-forth exchanges are merely a way to maintain emotional connections.
What you give as a gift isn't the most important thing.
Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe rarely return, so the Mo couple were overjoyed and prepared a lot of delicious food. In addition, Su Nanxi also brought back a lot of food, so a big feast was inevitable.
So, they invited the village chief and clan leaders to have a meal together and chat.
We were just having a meal, nothing more.
The village chief and clan elders arrived in great joy, their faces beaming. Anyone who didn't know better would think that something wonderful had happened in their family!
In fact, nothing particularly joyous happened in their family, except that the village chief's daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins.
Su Nanxi didn't understand medicine or how to diagnose pregnant women, but after seeing the village chief's youngest daughter-in-law that afternoon, she had a gut feeling that it wasn't twins, but she didn't say anything.
One's own subjective conjecture is not sufficient as evidence; saying it will only cause trouble and will not bring any benefit.
When the fruit is ripe and falls from the vine, the truth will naturally come out; why bother with unnecessary chatter and trouble!
Even modern 4D ultrasounds can't guarantee 100% accuracy; it's just her intuition, so she shouldn't say anything reckless.
Now that everyone thinks it's twins, everyone is immersed in joy, so there's really no need to spoil their good mood!
Mo Qinghe was very sensitive to Su Nanxi's reaction. He instantly caught the message in his wife's eyes. He paused for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions or mention it to anyone.
He doesn't care about other people's business; it's none of his concern.
Gatherings usually involve a lot of eating and drinking, with toasts and drinks, and plenty of food and drink. So it's easy to overeat without realizing it.
Everyone left only when the moon rose above the treetops.
After cleaning up, everyone was exhausted, so they washed up and lay down.
Su Nanxi wasn't particularly tired. She had been much more tired before, but she still managed to get through it.
In addition, she was already quite full, and while chatting and eating, she unknowingly ate too much, and now she simply couldn't fall asleep!
So he suggested, "How about we go for a walk to digest our food?"
Mo Qinghe never refused; whatever his wife wanted to do, he was happy to oblige!
He couldn't sleep either, probably because he wasn't used to it and seemed a little shy since he hadn't been back for so long.
He didn't eat much and wasn't full, but he knew Su Nanxi had eaten quite a lot and wouldn't sleep well at night. Since his wife had brought it up, he would do as she suggested!
What's the big deal?
"Let's go! But bring a cloak, it's still a bit chilly at night!"
Mo Qinghe got a cloak for Su Nanxi, but he didn't take one for himself. He's a grown man, he's not afraid of the cold!
The two quietly went out the door, intending to take a walk in the fields by the mountain. It was open and spacious outside, so they could walk around freely without any problem.
The village roads are narrow, and wandering around at night can easily scare people.
The two walked out of the village and came to a path in the fields. The wind was not as cold as in winter, but it was still a bit chilly.
"Honey, I told you so! It's still a bit chilly outside, not as warm as inside! Luckily I brought a cloak, put it on first, so you don't catch a cold!"
As Mo Qinghe spoke, he draped a cloak over Su Nanxi's shoulders and thoughtfully helped her tie the straps.
Wearing the cloak, she did feel much warmer, and Su Nanxi sincerely said "thank you".
Mo Qinghe affectionately pinched Su Nanxi's nose, "I'm your husband, why are you being so polite with me! It's my honor to serve my wife!"
Su Nanxi smiled happily, but deliberately snorted arrogantly, "Glib talker!"
Mo Qinghe shook his head and gently pinched Su Nanxi's nose. "Wife, you're wrong. That wasn't glib talk, it was sweet talk! It came from the bottom of my heart, filled with my deep affection for you! Yes, it was sweet! Doesn't my wife like it?"
Su Nanxi laughed happily. Who doesn't want to hear nice things? How could she not like it?
Mo Qinghe insisted that she say it aloud, his actions indicating that he couldn't understand, the night was too dark to see clearly, he just wanted to hear his wife say she liked him.
Su Nanxi was exasperated by his persistence and, knowing that he was very persistent, had no choice but to speak up.
However, Mo Qinghe pretended not to hear and deliberately leaned closer to make Su Nanxi say it again.
Su Nanxi could tell at a glance that this person was doing it on purpose, but there was nothing she could do about it. It wasn't a big deal, so she decided to let him have his way.
So, she grabbed his neck and pulled him down—who told him to be so tall!
Mo Qinghe was caught off guard by Su Nanxi's sudden outburst and almost lost his balance, nearly falling towards her!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to regain his balance, thus preventing both of them from falling.
Su Nanxi loudly said "I like it" in his ear, and then gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
Are you satisfied now?
Mo Qinghe expressed great satisfaction!
But then, out of nowhere, came a sound that made one blush and their heart race!
