Xu Xingchen stopped and patted his chest: "Luckily you are here, otherwise I would have fallen."
Jun Haoyue put his heart at ease and grabbed the back collar of Mendun'er and lifted him up.
"Don't pounce on mother anymore."
Munduner looked aggrieved: "Okay, I won't jump, mommy, please hug me." It waved its little hands, trying to ask for a hug.
Xu Xingchen felt his heart melt, and quickly hugged Mundun'er over: "It's my fault for not standing firmly. Don't scare it!"
Jun Haoyue shook his head helplessly.
"Stardust, if you keep going like this, you'll spoil it."
"So what? Mundun'er is so cute, who would have the heart to be mean to him? Mundun'er will always be his mother's little baby!"
She smiled and kissed her son on the cheek.
The mother and son are so sweet together that Jun Haoyue, the father, seems a little out of place.
He sighed and took the ingredients to the kitchen to cook.
Today's ingredients were also brought back by Menduner from outside. It is a good piece of beef, suitable for frying, and maybe it can be used to make a very nice candlelight dinner.
Jun Haoyue worked hard in the kitchen, and it was dark when he finished.
Xu Xingchen couldn't wait to knock on the bowl in the lobby: "Haoyue, is the meal ready?"
She is almost starving to death!
Jun Haoyue replied, "Right away," then found a few bottles and hurried out the door. Xu Xingchen was playing with his son at the time, so he didn't notice.
By the time she realized it, Jun Haoyue had already returned, along with a few sparkling bottles.
Xu Xingchen's eyes lit up: "That bright thing in the bottle... is it a firefly? Why are you catching it?"
Jun Haoyue made a gesture to silence.
Seeing his mysterious look, Xu Xingchen didn't ask any more questions and waited quietly.
Jun Haoyue hung those glittering bottles in several places in the house. Coupled with the moonlight coming in from outside, the cottage had a dreamy feeling.
Xu Xingchen couldn't help but sigh: "This is like a dream. Do you have any other surprises?"
Jun Haoyue nodded; "Close your eyes first."
Xu Xingchen closed his eyes out of curiosity.
Not long after, she felt that there seemed to be something extra on the table in front of her, and there was someone sitting next to her, probably Jun Haoyue.
"You can open your eyes now." Jun Haoyue said.
Xu Xingchen slowly raised his eyes and saw two plates of steak in front of him, a small bottle of fireflies acting as candlelight, and a few flowers on the table.
This is simply a special version of a candlelight dinner!
Seeing her eyes sparkling, Jun Haoyue curled the corners of his lips and said, "Do you like this dinner? I originally wanted to catch more fireflies, but I was afraid you would be too hungry. Oh, and here are these flowers. If we can find the most beautiful ones here, these are them. I hope you don't mind."
Xu Xingchen smiled and said, "How could I possibly dislike such a chic candlelight dinner? I'm so happy!"
Jun Haoyue was somewhat pleased by the compliment, and his cold face softened. "As long as you like it, okay, let's eat."
It will get cold if you don’t eat it now.
The two of them sat down and started eating the steaks in front of them. Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too romantic and ambiguous, but Xu Xingchen felt his face getting hot.
This meal was the longest and most silent one the two of them had ever had.
But no one felt uncomfortable, they just silently enjoyed the atmosphere.
"What should I do with these fireflies?"
After finishing his meal and packing up his things, Xu Xingchen's eyes fell on the bottle containing fireflies.
Those fireflies flicker and flicker like starlight. It would be a pity if they were just locked in the bottle.
"Or let it go."
Jun Haoyue naturally agreed with her plan. The two of them walked into the garden with the bottle. As soon as the cork was removed, the fireflies flew into the sky one after another. The scene was like a dream.
Xu Xingchen couldn't bear to miss this view, so she simply sat on the steps and enjoyed it slowly. Jun Haoyue also sat next to her.
This harmonious scene continued until late at night.
…
The next morning, Xu Xingchen woke up early. She had to go to the bungalow to attend classes again today!
When she arrived, everyone in the embroidery class was also there.
After the last ordeal, the women became much more obedient and didn't cause any trouble again. Xu Xingchen taught them how to embroider, and they learned it slowly, bit by bit.
If they don’t understand something, they will raise their hands and ask questions in time. In this way, they can make rapid progress.
Although most people's embroidery skills are not as good as Arya's, they are not bad either. At least the lines have not been crooked again.
Xu Xingchen thought happily.
If this continues, the whole village should be able to eat soon. By then, she can complete her mission sooner and leave this damn place...
At this moment, Jun Haoyue's figure suddenly appeared in her mind. Hey, why did she suddenly think of him?
She shook her head, getting rid of all those messy thoughts.
"Xu Xingchen, come here for a moment."
At this moment, Zhang Xiaochun, who was sitting in the second row, suddenly raised her hand. When Xu Xingchen approached, she smiled and took out the embroidery she had made.
She pointed at the pattern and said, "Look, this is the best embroidery I've ever made. It's not worse than Erya's, right?!"
Xu Xingchen: “…”
How could she have the nerve to compare herself to Erya? You know, Erya is the top of the class!
As for Zhang Xiaochun, he is definitely a nobody!
The embroidery was so crude that Xu Xingchen didn't want to look at it. He turned his eyes away and said, "Compared to when I first started learning, I have indeed made some progress."
Zhang Xiaochun didn't notice her perfunctory attitude at all. Instead, his eyes lit up and he said smugly, "I'm so smart, of course I'm no worse than others!"
"By the way, where did you sell your embroidery that day?"
Xu Xingchen almost couldn't breathe: "Don't tell me you plan to sell the embroidery?!"
Zhang Xiaochun looked disdainful: "My embroidery is so good, why can't I sell it? Don't look down on me!"
Xu Xingchen tried to persuade her, "This is your first embroidery. Why not keep it as a souvenir? It won't be too late to sell it after you finish the second one, right?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaochun refused to listen: "It is precisely because of its special meaning that I want to exchange it for silver!"
Seeing her insistence, Xu Xingchen realized that he could not persuade her any more, and had no choice but to let Zhang Xiaochun go.
I hope she won’t say that I am her master when the time comes.
Zhang Xiaochun did what she said and went to the market with her embroidery that afternoon. Because she didn't ask for the name of the embroidery shop, she just went into one and sold her masterpiece.
The clerk picked up her embroidery, looked at it, and pointed with two fingers: "This is the price."
Zhang Xiaochun was so excited that his heart was surging: "Two taels of silver? I bought it, and I'm selling it now!"
The guy looked at her like she was an idiot.
"How dare you ask for two taels of silver for this embroidery? What are you dreaming about? I'm talking about two cents!"
Zhang Xiaochun felt his eyes go dark and he almost fainted from anger.
