"The comb is right next to me."
Dong Muhong understood her daughter's implication and quickly said with a smile, "Give the phone to Mushu, I'm going out to buy groceries."
Upon receiving the phone, Ji Mushu sweetly called out, "Aunt Dong."
"Hey, hey, anyone want to eat this?"
“I’m fine with anything I eat. You can have my dad come with you to buy groceries. It’s tiring for him to do it by himself.”
"Okay, are you almost home?"
Dong Muhong asked with a smile.
"Almost there, almost there..."
Ji Mushu patted Yu Mobai on the shoulder, "Mobai, how much longer until we get to the Olympics?"
"About an hour."
Yu Mobai replied, then took the phone and started chatting with Dong Muhong.
After a while, Dong Muhong hung up the phone and then sat on the sofa in a daze, holding her phone.
"Why haven't you gone to buy groceries yet?"
Ji Zhigang came out of the bedroom and asked, "Didn't we say we were going to buy groceries?"
"Old Ji."
After thinking for a moment, Dong Muhong said, "How about we treat Lao Yu's family to a meal before the New Year?"
"Sure, this is also a good opportunity to thank Mo Bai for taking care of the two girls at school."
Ji Zhigang said with a smile, "It's a good idea, I didn't even think of it."
Dong Muhong simply nodded. "I just spoke to Mushu on the phone. She asked you to come with me to buy groceries."
"Hehe, let me go get dressed."
Ji Zhigang was very happy early in the morning because his beloved daughter was coming back. He hummed a song as he walked into the bedroom, leaving only Dong Muhong in the living room.
Dong Muhong stared silently in the direction of the bedroom, her grip on her phone tightening.
Her experiences destined her to be unlike those of ordinary parents.
Now that her daughter has met such a good guy as Yu Mobai, she will definitely take the initiative to seize the opportunity, or even make the first move.
The purpose of her earlier conversation with Ji Zhigang about having dinner with Lao Yu's family before the New Year was actually quite simple: for both families to settle the matter of the two children as soon as possible, so that she could feel more at ease.
She was afraid that her daughter would suffer the same fate as her.
She had a tragic experience with relationships, so she didn't want it to affect Dong Yike, otherwise she would never have a good time for the rest of her life.
"Let's go, the two kids are coming back today, let's buy more groceries."
Ji Zhigang didn't know what Dong Muhong was thinking, so he said with a smile, "Yike likes to eat fish, so buy a few more."
Dong Muhong nodded, then thought for a moment and asked, "Old Ji, Mu Shu grew up with Yu Mobai. Does she like Yu Mobai?"
When asked this question, Ji Zhigang looked visibly flustered. He quickly turned his back and pretended to pour himself some water, saying slowly, "I don't know either. That girl, Mu Shu, didn't tell me."
"Okay, let's go buy groceries."
And so, the two parents, each with their own ulterior motives, went out to buy groceries together.
...
More than an hour later, Yu Mobai drove off the highway.
After passing the highway toll station, the scenery along the street gradually became familiar, and the people in the car gradually became more lively.
Yu Mobai first dropped Feng Linhao off downstairs, then drove his beat-up car back to the family compound.
The family compound is always busiest during holidays.
Especially during the Lunar New Year, people would even decorate their family compound themselves, especially the bushes and trees on both sides, which would be filled with small colored lights and ornaments.
When the car drove in, no one recognized it, and they all straightened up to see who had returned.
Yu Mobai honked the horn once in a flamboyant manner before getting out of the car, still wearing sunglasses.
"Don't pretend to be a big shot."
Dong Yike said with a grin, "It's getting dark, aren't you afraid of falling while wearing sunglasses?"
"that is."
Ji Mushu opened the car door and got out to get her luggage.
Yu Mobai pursed his lips, turned around and greeted the other elderly men and women in the residential compound, "I'm from the Yu family. Aunt Wang, I ate at your house when I was little, don't you recognize me?"
"Uncle Ge, you're still in such good health!"
"Hey, isn't this Gou Danzi? You haven't wet the bed at night, have you?"
Yu Mobai acted like a social butterfly, greeting everyone he met, even children.
I made my way home, opened the door, and found the living room quiet, but there were clanging and banging sounds coming from the kitchen.
It's obvious that the elderly couple is preparing dinner.
Yu Mobai put down his luggage and ran to the kitchen with a grin.
Unexpectedly, I overheard the following conversation.
While chopping vegetables, Zheng Zhaoxia said, "Old Yu, how many points do you think Yu Mobai will get on the exam this time?"
How would I know?
Yu Jinsheng didn't really care about grades; he valued Yu Mobai's abilities more. "It doesn't matter how many points your son gets; he can earn money, so he definitely won't starve in the future."
“Hey, how come you have the same idea as your son?”
Zheng Zhaoxia glared at him. "I don't care how much money he makes. Shouldn't a student like him study hard?"
"Yes, yes."
Yu Jinsheng dared not touch his wife's brow, and quickly echoed, "What score did this kid get last year?"
"Anyway, I failed."
Zheng Zhaoxia got angry when she talked about it, and slammed the kitchen knife down. "If he doesn't do well on his exams this year, I'll definitely kick him out. He can sleep on the streets during the New Year."
Yu Mobai listened to the conversation silently. This was really her mother. What era is this? She still only cares about grades. She needs to change this habit.
Otherwise, it's not good to keep an eye on his grades all the time.
"I just heard the door open. Can you see if Yu Mobai is back?"
Zheng Zhaoxia suddenly said.
