Free Web NovelChapter 637: Why Don’t You Go to Heaven?
"Doesn’t your fourth uncle plan to hire anyone to help with all those fruit orchards?" Xu Mumu asked in surprise. The fourth uncle’s family has made quite a bit of money, so there’s no need to save on this.
"Anyway, there’s nothing else to do right now, so might as well tidy up the orchards early. We’ll just take our time; there’s no rush," Xu Jiaojiao said with a smile. Her parents work hard at home, so any help from her and her brother is welcome.
"My little sister’s grown up and become sensible," Xu Mumu remarked with emotion.
"I’ve been an adult for a long time, okay? It’s just you, big sis, who keeps treating me like a kid," Xu Jiaojiao grumbled.
Xu Mumu laughed. With a few kids around, the small yard had become much livelier. The house was tidied up, and new bedding was put in the rooms, with lots of New Year goods prepared at home.
Thinking about her own home, the New Year goods there were all prepared by Madam Chun, who seemed to have placed quite a few tasty things in the house.
Thinking of Madam Chun’s skills, Xu Mumu was tempted to return home.
The kids were worn out after playing all day and fell asleep instantly. It’s not very convenient to bathe at home, but when Xu Mumu finished her bath, the kids were all fast asleep.
As soon as Xu Mumu got into bed, Yin Yang hugged her.
"Wife, today you were chatting with them the whole time and hardly paid attention to me," Yin Yang said with a sour tone. His wife’s family has too many people, and her attention often gets diverted.
"Well, now I’m all yours. No one will disturb us," Xu Mumu said as she kissed him on the lips. He just has a tiny heart and always gets jealous.
"Hmph, wait till we get home, then I’ll deal with you," Yin Yang said without hesitation, returning the kiss. It wasn’t suitable here; better to mess with his wife back home, especially with the little ones still here. Waking them up would be a bad idea.
"Hubby," Xu Mumu teasingly nibbled on his jaw.
"Stop it," Yin Yang’s voice was a bit raspy, his little wife was becoming more enticing. Knowing that he wouldn’t make a move here, she was teasing him like crazy.
"I want to," she responded.
Yin Yang silenced his little wife’s mouth with a swift move and held her tightly to stop her from moving, lest she continue to provoke him. If she did, they wouldn’t get any sleep tonight.
Xu Mumu settled down, realizing it was best not to tease him further. He couldn’t handle any teasing, and things might get out of hand if she continued.
Actually, Xu Mumu found it quite entertaining to occasionally tease him.
The breakfast was wild vegetable porridge, which Xu Jiaojiao had gotten up early to pick. Although the house was not short on vegetables, there were still some wild ones with a good flavor.
This winter wasn’t particularly cold and showed no sign of snow, so there were still many wild vegetables growing on the mountain.
In front of the kids were bowls of steamed eggs sprinkled with green onions, making them smell delicious.
"Is it tasty?" Sun Huiping came over with a bowl of sliced pickled long beans. Her two children and their father really liked them, so she had pickled quite a lot during the summer.
"Delicious, delicious," the little ones quickly nodded. Mom’s hometown was so much fun, with good food and lots of kids to play with. He almost didn’t want to go back.
"Eat lots, so you can grow tall," Sun Huiping said while touching the little one’s head. Unknowingly, the little one was already over three years old and growing fast.
"Will I be taller than dad?" The little one looked up, eyes sparkling at Sun Huiping.
"I’ll definitely be taller than brother-in-law," Fengfeng said earnestly.
"Then you must eat well. Snacking all the time isn’t good. You also need to exercise, or you’ll end up short," Old Xu chuckled. The kids in their family had good habits, and although the oldest couple was a bit unreliable, teaching good habits to the children was mostly thanks to their granddaughter-in-law Jiang Yuxiu. They were quite satisfied with her.
"Grandpa, I don’t snack every day. I will definitely grow tall," Fengfeng said disgruntled. He was already a big kid, yet Grandpa said everything in front of so many people.
Yin Yang, who was being compared: ...
Xu Mumu watched from the side and found it amusing. Yin Yang was indeed tall, nearly 1.9 meters, which made Xu Mumu look petite standing beside him.
The benefits of being tall are numerous; you have a stronger presence when serious.
Growing as tall as Yin Yang is something her little brother can forget about for life. Although the Xu Family isn’t short, even the oldest brother is around 1.8 meters, reaching 1.9 meters would require a genetic miracle.
"I will definitely be taller than Dad," Doudou said confidently, looking at his own father.
"Just eat, why grow so tall?" Yin Yang rolled his eyes in exasperation, puzzled by what these kids spent all day thinking about.
"Tall is good-looking," Fengfeng replied for Doudou.
Xu Mumu almost laughed out loud; her little brother was becoming increasingly vain.
Old Xu also looked away disapprovingly, wondering about his little grandson, who was growing more narcissistic. What does a boy need good looks for?
"Yes," the little ones agreed.
"Don’t lead Doudou astray," Old Xu thumped Fengfeng’s back, but without force.
"One must be good-looking, otherwise the girls won’t play with us. In my class, no one plays with the not-so-good-looking ones," Fengfeng stated seriously.
"Silly boy, judging by appearance is wrong. People grow into their looks, and you might end up less attractive as you grow," Xu Mumu said in exasperation. Thinking about playing with little girls already? Starting so young? Outrageous!
This kind of bad mentality needs to be corrected; she must remind her mom to teach this little boy better.
"Impossible, Little Tao says I’m the best-looking," Fengfeng shook his head, refusing to believe he’d grow unattractive.
Little Tao was a classmate of Fengfeng. Xu Mumu had met the adorable little girl with Fengfeng, pretty as a porcelain doll and played well with Fengfeng.
"Kids don’t know what looks good or not. You don’t believe me? Ask Grandpa; where are you good-looking?" Xu Mumu said twitchily, wanting to give the cheeky boy a good scolding.
"Ugly, Little Han is better-looking," Old Xu said earnestly. Little Han was the youngest son of this side of the family, even older than Doudou, quite obedient and easy to take care of.
"Brother is handsome," said Little Han shyly in a small voice. He had never been praised for being good-looking.
He was already attending kindergarten in the village, often playing wildly with village kids, but nobody ever said he was handsome.
Because he had more toys, the village kids liked playing with him.
