Chapter 367: Chapter 365: Yu Liulang’s Happy Event (Second Update)
"But what kind of work can I find?"
In the village, the work for the second half of the year is probably picking cotton for others, which isn’t easy. You stand all day long.
It’s not that Yu Si Niang can’t do the work. Mu Shuangshuang just feels that since she can earn money, she shouldn’t let Yu Si Niang and Mu Dashan toil too hard.
The money earned by risking their lives doesn’t seem worth it.
Thinking about this, Mu Shuangshuang slowly drifted into sleep...
The next day, Mu Shuangshuang got up very early to take the old hen out to get some fresh air. As for the chicks, they could only be taken out after the sun came up.
As she started to busy herself with preparing breakfast, the courtyard gate was kicked open, just as she was about to shout and ask loudly.
Yu Liulang actually came in.
Following behind him was a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth.
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, how come you’re here so early?"
Mu Shuangshuang had known that Yu Liulang would come around Qixi, but who would have thought it would be today and so early in the morning.
Yu Liulang’s face was red, and there were fine beads of sweat on his face. Before he could speak, Feng Xiaohua stepped forward and pulled a handkerchief from her waist.
"I told you not to rush like that, sweating all over. Hurry, wipe it off."
"Why wipe, men’re meant to bleed and sweat, it’s normal."
Yu Liulang said stubbornly, but as soon as Feng Xiaohua offered her handkerchief, he still cooperated by lowering his head, letting Feng Xiaohua wipe his sweat.
This scene could be considered a massive dose of dog food, directly serving a big bowl to Mu Shuangshuang.
She tactfully stepped aside, giving space to Yu Liulang and Feng Xiaohua.
She’d heard before, when you like someone, you can’t bear to look away, Yu Liulang didn’t believe it, even when he later met Luo Xiu’er, he didn’t believe it.
But when he was with Feng Xiaohua, he truly believed it.
Clearly, he’d been looking at someone for ten years, but the more he looked, the more he couldn’t get enough. No matter how he looked, he couldn’t take his eyes off.
Worried when out, worried at home, afraid someone would snatch his treasure away.
"Alright, didn’t we bring some things for Shuangshuang’s house? Quickly take them out."
Feng Xiaohua blushed deeply under Yu Liulang’s gaze, she stretched out her hand and lightly patted Yu Liulang’s chest, which immediately made Yu Liulang’s face bloom with happiness.
"I’ll go do it now, you go inside and rest, Shuangshuang’s house is very clean."
Yu Liulang didn’t want Feng Xiaohua to get tired and wanted her to go rest.
"Sixth Son, there you go again, I’m fine, I do all sorts of chores at home and I’m not a delicate person. You go and bring the things in, I’ll chat with Shuangshuang for a while."
After all, Shuangshuang was the matchmaker for her and Sixth Son.
Feng Xiaohua still remembers the cunning expression on Shuangshuang’s face when she first came up with the idea.
In the kitchen, because of Feng Xiaohua and Yu Liulang’s arrival, Mu Shuangshuang’s breakfast was more than usual.
She was kneading dough, the dry flour gradually forming into small dough balls in her hands.
The sound of the dough thumping on the table echoed in the kitchen, giving it a more homey atmosphere.
"Shuangshuang, let me help you!"
They had only met twice, but Feng Xiaohua had a particularly good impression of Mu Shuangshuang. She really liked Shuangshuang a lot.
"No need, Aunt Liu, you just rest beside me. Today I’ll cook for you and my uncle, it’ll be my way to congratulate you both for finally being together."
"You..." Feng Xiaohua blushed again.
After all, as an unmarried girl, being called Aunt Liu directly by Mu Shuangshuang made her incredibly happy, implying Shuangshuang acknowledged her.
But she also felt a little embarrassed, as she hadn’t married Sixth Son yet and was already taking the seat of Sixth Son’s wife.
Seeing Feng Xiaohua’s discomfort, Mu Shuangshuang spoke up: "Aunt Liu in my heart is Aunt Liu, and no one else. Don’t feel embarrassed, matters of affection are between you and my uncle, others have no right to mock."
Only then did Feng Xiaohua breathe a sigh of relief.
Indeed, it’s she and Sixth Son who are to marry, who are to live together, what right do others have to meddle?
"Shuangshuang, thank you, if it weren’t for you, Sixth Son and I would still be as we were." Feng Xiaohua said sincerely.
But Mu Shuangshuang just shook her head with a smile.
"Aunt Liu, actually, even without me, you and my uncle would’ve ended up together. You two are here today, not because of my method, but because you genuinely like each other."
If it wasn’t for love, Yu Liulang wouldn’t have returned.
If it wasn’t for love, no matter how much Mu Shuangshuang did, it wouldn’t have mattered.
"You mean... Sixth Son liked me before?" Feng Xiaohua was extremely surprised.
"Yes, that’s why you ended up together. I heard from my grandma that my uncle often went to your house to help, picking tea, plowing fields, fixing roofs, these chores he did every year, saying he sees Aunt Liu as his sister, which I don’t believe."
Yu Liulang himself was slow to realize, and over these years, keeping tied to someone he didn’t love, but Feng Xiaohua indeed should thank herself.
If she hadn’t awakened Yu Liulang, they would’ve had to suffer even when together.
"Shuangshuang, thank you, really thank you!"
Covering her mouth, Feng Xiaohua said excitedly to Shuangshuang.
She never thought she’d have a moment of standing under the clear sky and seeing the moon. She even thought that if Sixth Son didn’t marry, she wouldn’t marry for life, and that would count as being together.
Who knows, in ten, twenty, thirty years, when he thought of settling down and remembered her, she wouldn’t have lived in vain.
"Aunt Liu, let’s not say any more polite words. Since you’re at our house, just eat well, drink well, and have fun!"
Although there’s not much fun in a farming household, these words had to be said.
"Mm! Your uncle also said he’d stay a few more days to help your mom finish all the fieldwork."
There’s not much to do at Yu Liulang’s house lately, the tea trees are looked after by family, so he simply followed the previous plan and came over with Feng Xiaohua.
This also reflects, indirectly, how much Yu Liulang values Yu Si Niang.
"Haha, then I’ve got to go buy some dry land."
Dry land is essential, Mu Shuangshuang had already planned that since Yu Liulang is here, she might as well take this time to buy dry land and let her uncle help with plowing and planting vegetables.
"Well that’d be great, I could help you plant vegetables!"
"Haha, Aunt Liu seems capable of everything, my uncle really found a treasure."
When Mu Shuangshuang went to Feng Xiaohua’s house, Feng Xiaohua was feeding chickens and ducks, judging by her skilled work, it’s evident she does it all the time.
With Feng Xiaohua married to him, Yu Liulang definitely won’t have to worry about household matters himself.
During their conversation, the protagonist Yu Liulang came in, carrying a burlap sack on his shoulder, filled with corn.
"Shuangshuang, these were picked from Xiao Hua’s field, much larger than the corn we have at home!"
