Free Web NovelChapter 640: Fertile Family
The reunion dinner was extremely sumptuous, mostly with Xu Mumu helping out, but the real chef was, of course, Madam Chun.
A large table full of dishes, it’s rare for the family to prepare such a feast, the days of reunion are always very joyful.
The little rascal received quite a few red envelopes, and kept insisting that he was already an adult and should keep the money himself.
Xu Mumu let him be, if he wants to keep it, let him. Besides, there isn’t that much money, and if he really loses it or gets tricked out of it, it would serve as a lesson for him.
Having made up her mind, Xu Mumu didn’t bother with the little rascal’s business anymore.
On the other hand, Doudou was particularly concerned about his allowance, even specifically asking Professor Song to accompany him to buy a piggy bank, which was exquisitely made and caught the little rascal’s eye at first glance.
After bringing the piggy bank home, he carefully placed his money inside, and after dinner, carried it to his room and placed it on the cabinet by his bed, wanting to see it at all times.
"The little rascal is quite the little miser," Xu Mumu pinched his cheek.
"Mom, I want to earn money, and a lot of it, more than Dad," the little rascal boasted warmly.
"What are you dreaming about? Earning more than me?" Yin Yang smiled helplessly, this little rascal’s thinking is quite optimistic.
"Our Doudou will definitely earn more than your dad." Professor Song is just the type to pamper kids regardless of right or wrong; whatever the little guy says, he believes. With how smart the little guy is, he will definitely be more capable than his dad in the future.
"Absolutely," Professor Jian, the second kid-pampering accomplice, immediately chimed in.
Yin Yang’s mouth twitched, oh well, his status at home is getting lower and lower.
He took a glance at his little wife, who was secretly laughing.
"You better work hard or someday your son will surpass you," Xu Mumu said to Yin Yang with a grin.
"He won’t have that chance," Yin Yang laughed and said. The atmosphere at home is just right now; it’s so much better than the gloomy Yin Family of the past, all thanks to his little wife’s efforts.
"You’re just boasting now, wait until Doudou surpasses you, and see how I’ll laugh at you then," Professor Song glared at his grandson.
"Daddy is amazing," the little rascal immediately moved closer to his dad. In his heart, his dad was still very impressive, capable of everything.
"Hmph. Little flattery expert." Although Yin Yang expressed disdain for his son’s flattery, he still picked up the little guy.
"Daddy, I want a horse ride," the little rascal said excitedly as he was picked up.
Yin Yang looked at his cheeky son; of course, his child he would pamper himself, he placed him on his shoulders and took him to the yard to play.
Xu Mumu looked disdainfully at the father and son playing happily in the yard, Yin Yang says he spoils the child, but clearly, he spoils Doudou a lot too, what grounds does he have to point fingers?
The New Year’s time always passes quickly, and over there, Yin Yang had given the company a holiday too, so temporarily, there was nothing to do except accompany the family.
On the third day of Lunar New Year, it was the agreed day to return for New Year’s greetings.
Early in the morning, Xu Mumu dressed the little rascal in new clothes; on their way back, the little rascal wanted to bring the little fox too.
However, Xu Mumu stopped him. The little fox’s injuries hadn’t healed yet, so it was better to leave it at home to recuperate. They talked with Professor Song about returning the next day, and then the family of three, with gifts, got on the car to go back for the New Year’s visit.
On the road back, there were many more vehicles, especially electric bikes. The emergence of electric bikes had indeed made things much easier for everyone. By now, the roads here were completely paved, making it convenient to ride on.
When they returned to the village, it was bustling; there was even a dragon dance invited to the village, attracting a crowd at the threshing ground.
The threshing ground was a large square, in the past used by the brigade to sun-dry grains, very spacious. If there was any event in the village, meetings and such would be held at the threshing ground.
Now the dragon dance performance was also happening at the threshing ground.
"Sis, sis, you’re finally back," Xu Minglei immediately ran over upon seeing Xu Mumu.
"Second Uncle," seeing his uncle, the little rascal got even more excited, diving out of Xu Mumu’s arms wanting to be held by Second Uncle.
Xu Minglei didn’t disappoint him, immediately picking up the little guy.
Only half a month had passed, and the little guy had put on a bit of weight.
"Doudou, did you miss Uncle?" Xu Minglei kissed the little rascal on the cheek; even though the family had been lively these past days, he really missed Doudou after not seeing him for a while.
"Of course, I think about you every day," the little flatterer Doudou was back in action.
"Our Doudou is so well-behaved, come on, Uncle made you a wooden sword, I spent a long time on it. I’ll show you, your little uncle wanted it too, but I didn’t give it to him," Xu Minglei said excitedly, then carried Doudou towards the house.
"Really? Is it nicer than your brother Erniu’s?" The little rascal was still thinking about the wooden sword a village friend had before.
"Of course, you’ll know once you see it," Xu Minglei said proudly.
The forgotten Xu Mumu couple: ....Do we have such low presence?
They still followed them back to the Xu Family. The Xu Family was particularly lively today, all the Xu brothers returned, and even Xu Mumu’s two aunts came back; the yard was already full of people.
As soon as Xu Mumu and the others returned, they immediately received everyone’s attention.
It’s rare for the Xu Family to be this complete, looking at the courtyard filled with people of all ages, it’s the first time Xu Mumu felt that the Xu Family is really fertile; at least every family has two kids, and their family even has four. Among the grandchildren, both Xu Mumu and Xu Minghui are married, Jiang Yuxiu is pregnant, and Xu Xue is also pregnant, though still in the early months.
Yin Yang also saw the Xu Family be this complete for the first time; this courtyard full of people left him momentarily stunned, if not for seeing these lively people, he would have thought it was like the old Yin Family—just too many people.
"Everyone is really back," Xu Mumu said with emotion.
"Of course, isn’t it lively?" Li Caixia said proudly, seeing the liveliness at home also made her very happy. Every time she saw her sisters-in-law and aunties casting envious eyes at her, Li Caixia felt extremely satisfied.
"Lively, very lively," Xu Mumu nodded seriously, she somewhat understood her mother’s thoughts, her mother’s love for showing off has never changed.
With so many people, calling everyone left Xu Mumu’s mouth dry, it was truly tiring.
"Your family really is fertile," Yin Yang remarked. After a sip of water, he finally felt alive again.
