Chapter 231 Be the Second in Our Family
Mr. Mu has only one daughter, who married his adopted son and gave birth to three children. Now the eldest grandson is eighteen years old and the youngest is fifteen years old.
When the incident happened a few years ago, Mr. Mu used his connections to send his daughter and her family away from the capital, and now he has used his connections to get them back. They are back, but their original jobs have been replaced, and they are now idle at home.
"Father may arrange for Ah Heng and I to be teachers in school." said Mu Qian, Mu Lao's adopted son and now son-in-law.
"Is the college entrance examination a done deal?" Xu Hexiao asked.
Mu Qian knew that his father was very fond of Xu Hexiao's family, so he did not hide it. "It should not be changed. It has been tentatively confirmed that an exam will be held this winter. I heard from my father that your calligraphy and painting skills are very high, and your economics, geography, and history are also not bad. Do you want to take the college entrance examination? I can recommend some review materials for you."
Xu Hexiao shook his head, "No need. I don't have such plans."
Mu Qian was not surprised by his decision. "I heard you are thirty years old. Is that true? I feel like you are about the same age as my eldest son."
"I am indeed thirty. My oldest child is already seven years old." Xu Hexiao looked at Mu Qian's eldest son. Mu Qian was not tall, and his son was not very tall either. He was eighteen years old, about 1.72 meters tall. When the boy met Xu Hexiao's gaze, he smiled shyly.
There are few people in the Mu family, so Xu Hexiao helped move the furniture down and then moved it into the house.
"Where did you find the nanmu? It's much thicker than the nanmu furniture I've seen." Mu Qian stroked the texture of the furniture and liked it very much.
"A friend brought it from somewhere else, so we don't know." Xu Hexiao lied.
"That's thoughtful." Mu Qian said cautiously.
"It's nothing. My friend is a truck driver. He came to the capital for business, so he helped to haul the wood here. Qiqi and I both know how to do carpentry, and we thought you would need some furniture since you just returned, so we made a few cabinets. The style of the furniture is relatively old, so don't mind it."
"No, we just like antique furniture. Your furniture is simple and elegant and will never go out of style no matter how many years you use it. And compared to other furniture, I like nanmu furniture the most." Mu Qian looked sincere.
Xu Hexiao's mouth curled up slightly, "As long as you like it."
Qiqi and his kindness were not wasted.
In the evening, Mu Huaishan returned home and saw the furniture in the yard at a glance.
"Didn't we use up all the tickets? Where did these things come from?" Mu Huaishan walked towards the furniture and walked around the cabinets, tables and chairs. "These furniture are nice and look very high quality. Especially this rocking chair. Hey, why does this rocking chair look familiar?"
"Xu Hexiao sent it today. You probably saw it at his house." Mu Heng brought out the dishes. "Hurry up and wash your hands. It's time to eat."
Mu Huaishan was not in a hurry. He stroked the furniture and asked, "Did he send all these?"
"Yes, he sent them all. In addition to our family, Uncle Weng also sent some. He transported them in a truck." Mu Qian replied, "So many pieces of furniture are not cheap. Dad, how is He Xiao's family financially?"
Mu Huaishan shook his head. "I can't tell, but in the past few years, they have sent food to me and the old man every ten days or so. They have grain, meat, vegetables and fruits. Their home is in Fuxing Lane, and the area of their home is 2,000 square meters. To be honest, the old man and I can't tell where they come from."
Mu Qian was a little surprised. "You and Uncle Weng can't see it, so it must be very complicated."
"It's not simple." Mu Huaishan agreed with his adopted son. "They have nearly ten deer at home, but every time I go there, I can't see where the deer are."
"Raising deer?" Ten deer. Mu Qian was even more surprised. "Isn't the capital city strictly checking?"
Mu Huaishan nodded, "Of course. If you raise one more chicken at home, you will be arrested."
"They are really capable people." Mu Qian exclaimed.
"He is indeed a capable person, and everyone in his family is very capable." Four children are in a special training camp, and the three younger ones will probably be sent there next year. The Xu family will be very different in the future.
On the other hand, Weng Song, who had just returned home, saw the furniture and asked the same question. When he learned that it was sent by Xu Hexiao, he felt annoyed, "This young couple doesn't know how to live. It's such a waste."
"Dad, my sister and I want these two cabinets." Mrs. Weng pointed to the top chest and the chest of drawers.
"Take it if you want it. Just discuss it among yourselves." Weng Song waved his hand, not really caring.
"We have many people and a lot of stuff, so we want this top-box cabinet. Sister, how about you having a chest of drawers?" Mrs. Weng smiled kindly.
Weng Ermei rolled her eyes in her heart, but her face remained calm, "This chest of drawers is good, I like it."
"He Xiao said that he and his wife made this. Dad, we are still short of a few beds and cabinets. Can we ask them to make some more for us? We will pay for the materials and labor." After carefully examining the furniture, Weng Yong felt that it was extraordinary. Not only was the style grand, but every detail was also handled very well. The rare thing was the wood, which was so thick and heavy. It was obvious that the trees had grown for many years and were extremely dense.
"Then you have to ask them if they have any materials left. Nanmu is rare, especially in our north. It should not be easy for him to get these woods." Weng Song sighed, "Their kindness is not light."
The next morning, Xu Hexiao got up early to prepare breakfast. The four older children also woke up and ran, boxed, and fought in pairs in the yard.
Lin Qi and the three children were the last to wake up.
"Mom, come here, I want to spar with you." Xu Boxi shouted. After beating her three younger brothers, she felt it was boring and set her sights on her mother. She knew that in her family, the strongest one was her mother, followed by her father.
Lin Qi hadn't washed her face yet. When she heard her daughter calling her, she yawned and walked away, "Don't cry if it hurts."
"Don't cry." Xu Boxi clenched his fists and made an attacking gesture.
Lin Qi was afraid of undermining her daughter's self-confidence, so she patiently played with her for a while longer. When Xu Hexiao said breakfast was ready, she seized a flaw in her daughter and knocked her to the ground.
"Sister, you even touched the corner of mother's clothes throughout the whole process." The second child said quietly.
"Sister, go ask dad for help next time. Maybe he will give you a break." The third brother suggested.
"Sister, no matter how many years you practice, you can't beat mom. Just give up." The fourth brother hit her mercilessly.
At the age of seven, they already knew that there was something abnormal about their mother. It was obvious that their mother's power was not something that normal people could possess.
Xu Boxi got up from the ground and clapped his hands, "If I can't beat my mother, then I will be the second in our family."
Xu Hexiao in the kitchen: “........”
After breakfast, the family changed into clean clothes and went to the bus station to take the bus.
The whole family is very good-looking and attracts everyone's attention wherever they go.
There were many people taking the bus in the morning. When Lin Qi and her family got on the bus, there were no seats left. The three children stood next to Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao, hugging their parents' legs.
"You guys are so beautiful. Are you going to perform?" asked an old lady.
"No, we are visiting a friend's house." Xu Hexiao replied.
The old lady nodded, and wearing her reading glasses, she carefully looked at the appearance of Xu Hexiao and others. She asked in confusion, "You seem to look a bit alike?"
"Grandma, we are a family, how could we not look alike?" The seventh brother said seriously.
"Are you a family? All nine of you have the same parents?" The old lady was stunned.
The people around were also shocked. Whose family can have so many children? Nine! And they are so well-fed! It seems that they have no shortage of food or clothes. Their family must be very well off.
"The seven of us have the same parents. They are our parents." The seventh one pointed at Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao.
"Ah?" The old lady's eyes widened and she shook her head. "Little boy, it's not nice to lie. Your brothers and sisters look about ten years old, and these two are only twenty at most."
"Xiao Qi is not lying. They are my parents, and they are thirty years old. My sister and brothers are seven years old, and we are three and a half years old." Xiao Qi said with a pout.
Well?
The old lady looked at Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao, "Is what he said true?"
"Yes, really, we are thirty years old." Xu Hexiao said.
Grandma: “…”
The person next to him: “.........”
Weng Song's home is not far from the university, and there are several bus stops near the university.
Lin Qi's family got off the car. The four older children took care of the three younger ones. Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao carried fruits and wine in their hands, and the family walked towards Weng Song's house.
The door of Mr. Weng's house was open. As soon as Xu Hexiao knocked on the door, Mr. Weng came out to greet him.
"You've already given me a gift, why are you bringing another one today?" Weng Song pretended to be angry, "Don't be so polite next time."
Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao smiled faintly and said nothing. They greeted Weng Song and asked a few children to come over and say hello.
All seven children have been taught by Weng Song and have read many books written by him. Weng Song is like another grandfather to them. The three younger ones even take the initiative to hold Weng Song's hands.
Several children surrounded Mr. Weng and walked into the door, with Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao being the last to come.
Weng Song and several children went to the study. Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao stood in the yard, with helplessness in their eyes.
"The children are very studious," Weng Yong praised.
"They often have a lot of strange ideas. Qiqi and I can't answer them, so they save them and ask Mr. Weng and Mr. Mu later." Xu Hexiao smiled.
"That's because they like to think. They will have doubts only when they think frequently. Unlike my kids..." Weng Yong shook his head and didn't continue.
After meeting these children, he probably understood why his father liked them so much. No matter whether it was his children or his sister's children, no one dared to be so close to their grandfather. Especially in terms of studying, they had a great grandfather, but he didn't have much enthusiasm for studying.
When grandpa is in the study, they never take the initiative to go to the study, let alone take the initiative to bring people to the study like now. If it were him, he probably couldn't help but like these children.
