Chapter 570: Strawberries
"If your girl truly has the skills, I have no objections." Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"Tsk, if your Yin Yang finds out, he might get upset." Yu Xinyao said with a laugh.
"No worries, in our house, what I say goes." Xu Mumu proudly puffed out her chest.
The two of them played around for a bit, and then Yin Yang came to call them for dinner.
Outside, the food was already prepared. Xu Mumu sat beside Yin Yang, holding the little one.
"Let me hold him." Yin Yang took the child over.
Xu Mumu enjoyed the food made by Madam Chun. Madam Chun had prepared the dishes to cater to her taste, not too heavy, yet very delicious. Madam Chun’s culinary skills were even better than Mrs. Liu’s back in the Imperial City.
"Your Madam Chun’s cooking is amazing, I don’t even want to leave." After eating lunch, Yu Xinyao patted her stomach and said to Xu Mumu with an expression of contentment.
"If you like it, you can come often, plus you get to see Doudou." Xu Mumu said with a smile. Yu Xinyao indeed liked Doudou, or rather, she quite liked children, she was fond of Lian Fengfeng and the others too.
After moving, Xu Mumu adapted very quickly. The houses here were spacious, and Yin Yang hired two workers; one to tidy up the house, and another to work on the garden at the back.
After moving, the children also went back to school. Xu Minghui and his peers started their new semester too. Right at the beginning, the teachers told them their thesis topics, giving them half a term to write it. It was their final semester, and they had no more classes, leading to more free time.
Therefore, Xu Minghui and his wife spent more time on the supermarket, which was gradually getting on track. Xu Minghui planned to open another supermarket, but not in the provincial capital, rather in the county.
The county was bustling now, the museum had been built and, along with the estates Yin Yang had developed, the roads were all completed. The small county was nothing like before.
Since moving here, Xu Mumu adapted quickly, even the little one liked it here. Every time Xu Mumu took him out to play, he was overjoyed.
Were it not for the cold weather, Xu Mumu would have liked to try out the swimming pool.
Being idle at home, Xu Mumu started to feel restless. Professor Song and Professor Jian had already gone to the university for registration. Since the child was still small, of course, they couldn’t take him to school; that’s why he was with Xu Mumu.
"Doudou, how about we go play in the village?" Xu Mumu dressed the little one warmly and kissed his soft face.
The little one responded with a radiant smile.
Xu Mumu called Yin Yang about going back to the village lab, and Yin Yang immediately rushed back from the company to personally drive the mother and child back.
"Why did you come back personally?" Xu Mumu asked as she held her son onto the car. Yin Yang had placed soft cushions in the car; she placed the little one on them carefully, ensuring he wouldn’t fall.
Now that the little guy was stronger, he loved crawling around, especially at home, where the carpet was laid out, the little one enjoyed crawling all over.
"I couldn’t rest easy with you two alone, and there’s not much work at the company, so I can handle it later this afternoon." Yin Yang said calmly.
Xu Mumu gave him a playful eye-roll, but decided it was fine to go back together.
Back in the village, the primary and middle schools had already commenced, and the village was bustling. The estates had opened for business, with a steady stream of visitors.
As Xu Mumu got out of the car, the child was in Yin Yang’s arms, looking around curiously, since he hadn’t been back for a while and no longer remembered the place. Everything around seemed intriguing to him.
Xu Mumu walked into the lab, which was still very clean, just as she had left it.
She pushed open her designated room, which was a bit dustier than the rest.
Xu Mumu rolled up her sleeves and began to clean up.
Yin Yang wanted to put the child down to help, but there was no one else around.
Leaving the child alone in the stroller didn’t feel safe, considering the little one had a reputation for climbing out of it.
However, he could occasionally help out while the child was in the stroller, but he had to keep a close eye on him.
Xu Mumu’s quick pace had the room cleaned up in just over an hour. Even without exerting much strength, she still felt a bit tired.
Sitting for a while, they noticed a teacher from Grade 9 bringing students over for a lab class. The teacher clearly recognized the couple and greeted them with a smile.
But class was important, so they couldn’t chat much.
After the students left for class, Xu Mumu leaned comfortably on the soft cushions. Yin Yang had actually placed the cushions there, and they were big enough for her to lounge on while the little one moved around.
"This little rascal is so lively; I hope he calms down a bit as he grows." Xu Mumu said with a headache, as she caught the little one who nearly crawled to the edge of the cushion and was about to fall.
"He’ll be fine in the future." Yin Yang said with a smile, showing great patience for his son. Being lively was good, as long as he wasn’t introverted.
Judging by his current demeanor, he didn’t seem introverted at all.
Having rested enough, Xu Mumu fished out her previous notes and began studying them.
Yin Yang went out for a bit, and when he returned, he had a small basket of washed strawberries.
"There are still strawberries now?" Xu Mumu asked in surprise, as Yin Yang fed her a bright red strawberry.
"I set up a greenhouse around here, and didn’t plant a lot of strawberries. These just ripened; give them a taste." Yin Yang said gently.
"Wow, it’s so sweet! Yin Yang, you’re amazing, you can make anything happen." Xu Mumu said as she ate, gazing at Yin Yang in admiration.
"I’m not as great as you say, but with money, you can solve many things." Yin Yang chuckled.
"That’s still impressive."
While Xu Mumu was enjoying the strawberries, the little one approached. The red strawberries were very enticing, and he stretched out his hand, trying to grab the ones on the plate.
"Not even grown teeth yet, and already thinking of eating." Xu Mumu laughed as she said this, and Yin Yang moved the plate away. The little one was still too young and could only have milk, not yet ready for solid foods.
The little guy pouted, on the brink of tears since his father moved the plate away and he couldn’t reach the desired strawberries.
