Chapter 33: Figure in the Moonlight
In the kitchen, Song Binbin obediently helped Mi Xia light the fire.
Mi Xia was busy cutting and washing, and even secretly took seasonings from the space when cooking. Fortunately, Song Binbin was still young.
She was tall and sat on a small stool, making a fire. She saw what Mi Xia was doing.
Mi Xia cooked Chaohu hairtail fish, desert lamb chops, steamed crabs, spring liver nourishing, radish and beef brisket soup, gourd chicken and cold jellyfish.
The rice was steamed again, and it was already 5:30 in the afternoon when everything was ready. Mi Xia took out the remaining things in the backpack, added some more, and stuffed two big unity cakes into the dishes in case they had any problems and she was not around.
After tidying up, Mi Xia asked Song Binbin to serve the rice, while she and Mo Haoyue served the dishes to the table.
Mo Haoyue was one of the additional people eating this time, so in addition to picking up food for Mi Xia and Song Binbin, Grandma Song also had him as a guest.
Mo Haoyue was somewhat helpless as he looked at the high pile of dishes in the bowl, to the point that he could even see the rice in the bowl. Mi Xia looked at Mo Haoyue's expression and almost spit out the dishes in her mouth from laughing.
Mi Xia was chewing the food while trying hard to hold back her laughter. Mo Haoyue touched Mi Xia's hair lovingly.
Grandma Song noticed their little action but didn't say anything. She was an experienced person and could see the affection between the two.
Song Binbin was the only one at the table who was eating seriously, and he would occasionally pick up some food for Grandma Song with his chopsticks.
Seeing how good the relationship between Mi Xia and Mo Haoyue was, Grandma Song couldn't help but think of her lover, who had passed away two years ago.
After dinner, Song Binbin went to clean up the dishes obediently, and Grandma Song called Mi Xia and Mo Haoyue into the house.
Grandma Song instructed Mo Haoyue to take out the jewelry box from under the bed. After taking it, Mo Haoyue handed the jewelry box to Grandma Song.
Old Lady Song took out two pieces of jewelry from the interlayer of the jewelry box, "Here, Xiaoxia, this one is for you."
Grandma Song said as she took out another pendant and called Mo Haoyue over: "This one is for you. This is a pendant divided into two parts. Usually men take the dragon and women take the phoenix."
"I will give this pendant to both of you today. Please keep it well in the future."
When Mi Xia took it in her hand, she felt the soft part of the pendant, which was warm to the touch and exquisite.
The dragon and phoenix pendants symbolize the auspiciousness of the dragon and the phoenix, and also symbolize a pure and everlasting love, representing mutual support.
The phoenix pendant has a unique and beautiful shape. Grandma Song gave it to her, which means that she is optimistic about her and Mo Haoyue's relationship and blesses them both. However, this pendant is too precious and they cannot take it.
"Grandma Song, you can have it." Mi Xia said as she handed the bracelet to Grandma Song.
Mo Haoyue then stretched out his arm, wanting to return the pendant on his hand to Grandma Song.
Grandma Song looked at the two people and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what good kids they are, not greedy, but principled.
Grandma Song: "Take it. It's useless to take it if I give it to you. If you don't want to accept it, or if you are afraid of trouble if you accept it, just find a place to throw it away."
Mi Xia knew that this was something Grandma Song really wanted to give to them, so she refused and accepted it generously.
"Thank you, Grandma Song. We like it very much." Mi Xia smiled playfully and took Grandma Song's arm.
Old Master Song tapped Mi Xia's forehead and said, "You are a very clever girl."
Mi Xia shook Old Lady Song's arm coquettishly.
"Okay, it's late, you guys should go home quickly, you've been here for an entire afternoon."
"Okay, Grandma Song, we'll come to see you next time." Mi Xia choked up.
She really treated Grandma Song as her own grandmother, so she was very grateful in her heart.
"Let's go, be careful on the road." Grandma Song advised.
"Okay, then we'll leave first. You should go to bed early." After Mo Haoyue finished speaking, he took Mi Xia's hand and walked towards the door.
"Binbin, close the door and go back to sleep. Take good care of yourself and grandma." Mi Xia warned.
Song Binbin nodded obediently. Mi Xia watched Song Binbin close the door, and she and Mo Haoyue walked home.
It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, the quiet road was empty, and two people were walking home slowly side by side.
"I haven't been home for the whole afternoon. I know Xia Xia missed us." Mi Xia seemed to be asking herself, but also seemed to be asking Mo Haoyue.
Mo Haoyue: "The little girl should be asleep by now. If you miss her, bring her to our room to sleep at night."
"Don't bother, we're already asleep and it's more comfortable to hold each other. Just carry me on your back. I want to go." Mi Xia said coquettishly.
Mo Haoyue squatted down and said, "Come on."
Mi Xia relaxed on Mo Haoyue's shoulder and closed her eyes in enjoyment.
Seeing that Mi Xia didn't say anything, Mo Haoyue thought she had fallen asleep on his back, so he lowered his footsteps and walked carefully.
Under the moonlight, he looked at the shadow cast by his wife. His young wife lay quietly on his back, like a warm kitten.
He slightly bent his body and protected Mi Xia like a treasure, as if the woman on his back was his whole world.
After arriving home, Mi Xia was still asleep. Zhang Hongxia left the door open for them, and Mo Haoyue gently put Mi Xia on the bed.
He went to the kitchen to boil some hot water to wipe her body. After everything was cleaned up, he went to the yard and took a cold shower.
After Mo Haoyue returned to the room, he first warmed up his body, and then slowly approached Mi Xia.
The moonlight shines through the window, illuminating Mi Xia's figure.
Mo Haoyue took advantage of the moonlight to carefully look at his sleeping wife. Her fluffy black hair set off Mi Xia's fair skin, and her long eyelashes were like two small fans.
Her cherry-red lips are slightly raised. I really want to give her a kiss. What should I do?
No one knew when Mo Haoyue fell asleep. He was so uncomfortable that he kept sleeping.
The next morning, Mi Xia had finished her breakfast when Mo Haoyue woke up slowly. His wife was so beautiful that he was mesmerized by her the moment he looked at her.
Mi Xia: "Get up, wash up and eat. The food is ready for you and is on the table."
"Okay, I got it." Mo Haoyue said politely, then he turned over, put on his clothes and went out.
Mi Xia was confused. Why was this man so abnormal today? He told her he got up late, but he was still acting strange after getting up.
Zhang Hongxia cooked porridge and steamed buns in the morning, and took out the salted duck eggs and pickles that had been pickled long ago.
Mo Haoyue ate two bowls of porridge and three big steamed buns before stopping.
Mi Xia: "Let's go back to the village today. I want to go to the mountains to have a look."
Mo Haoyue thought for a moment and said, "If I go back to the village, I will definitely be seen by acquaintances. I haven't been home since I came back this time."
"Of course you should go home first and come back early, then we can go to the mountains together."
Mi Xia had forgotten about Mojia Village. Mo Haoyue really wanted to go home when he came back. In order not to embarrass him, it would be enough for her to go there herself.
"Okay, then go back at noon, I'll wait for you at home."
Mo Haoyue went to see Xia Xia and then set off back to the village. Mi Xiaxiao didn't care what he brought back. She just gave him ten yuan and went to play with her daughter.
