It was finally a holiday for the two of them, so naturally they were willing to return to school so quickly. Knowing that Shen Yao was returning to the Mo family, they eagerly followed.
Mo Xuan, of course, wanted to see his younger siblings. He had only seen photos on his phone and met them through video calls, but had never truly met them in person!
As for Xiao Jun, he was accompanying Shen Yao home. Although he went back often, he was also very interested in his unseen younger cousins.
Mo Xuan used to show off to him frequently on his phone. Hmph, now that Uncle and Fairy Sister got married, those two little ones would be his cousins, his younger siblings!
He was even closer than Mo Xuan!
Shen Yao didn't object and drove straight back to the Mo family.
At this moment, the Mo family courtyard was surrounded by a large group of middle-aged and elderly people, all holding small toys to entertain children.
The target of their attention was the little ones in Old Master Mo's and the old housekeeper's arms.
The little ones were not shy at all. Whoever tickled or played with them would elicit a toothless smile, making the aunties and uncles, who were desperate to have grandchildren, overjoyed.
"Old Mo, you are truly blessed. Not only did you get a grandson early on, but now you have a pair of twins, a grandson and a granddaughter. In the entire villa area, you are the happiest." An old gentleman, similar in age to Old Master Mo, said.
They thought their family's assets were not small, and their sons were also promising, but why wouldn't they find girlfriends?
It was one thing that they didn't find girlfriends, but they also refused to go on blind dates. They were nearing forty, and if they didn't get married soon, they would only be able to find love in their twilight years.
A certain man nearing forty: I'm only 35!!!!
"Who says not? Speaking of your son, my troublesome offspring is also nearing thirty and still unmarried, which worries me to death."
An aunt chimed in, saying her daughter was not bad-looking at all, and was young, successful in her career, and a graduate of a prestigious university, but she just couldn't find a boyfriend. What could be done?
Suddenly, the old gentleman and the aunt looked at each other. In an instant, as if they had exchanged a secret signal.
"Brother Qiu, let's get in touch later. I think your son is very good. Our two families have been neighbors for many years, and you know us well. How about your son and my daughter meet each other?" Aunt Lin said quickly.
"Yes, yes, we can have a good chat later and find a time for the two youngsters to meet. What if they really hit it off!" Old Master Qiu also quickly agreed.
...
"Beep beep..."
The sound of a car entering the villa drew everyone's attention. Shen Yao opened the car door, and two handsome young men came out from the back seats.
"Old Mo, you found a good daughter-in-law! She's so beautiful, people would believe she's a big star!"
"Oh, Xiao Jun is back too? And he was picked up by his aunt-in-law." An aunt who recognized Xiao Jun said.
"Who is the young man who got out with Xiao Jun? He's too handsome. I heard Xiao Jun is attending that arts school, and people who graduate from there become big stars. Could this young man also be a big star?"
"Alas, it's not that being a big star is bad, but ultimately, one must... do proper work."
This uncle spoke very subtly, stopping just short of saying that being a big star was not proper work.
However, for people like them, being a big star was indeed considered not doing proper work. It would be better to follow their families and manage companies!
"Alright, alright, alright, you all should go back quickly. My daughter-in-law is back. Don't scare her, or you won't be able to afford to compensate me if my daughter-in-law runs away."
After speaking, he quickly followed Shen Yao and the others back into the house, holding the two little ones.
However, the group of followers behind them would not leave so obediently. This was the first time they were seeing Mo's daughter-in-law, so of course, they had to get a good look!
Then, Old Master Mo was seen walking ahead with a displeased expression, followed by a string of uncles and aunties.
Before Shen Yao could put down her things, Old Master Mo, leading a group of people, walked in.
"Uncle, who are these?"
Shen Yao looked at them with confusion. Old Master Mo said with a hint of embarrassment, "These are your uncles, aunts, and godmothers. They have been neighbors with the Mo family for decades."
Shen Yao understood, realizing they were like the villagers from her hometown. After being neighbors for a long time, the relationships between the families naturally became much closer.
"Greetings, uncles, aunts, and godmothers." Shen Yao quickly greeted them.
Everyone nodded quickly, and then the godmothers began to take off the jewelry they were wearing and thrust it all at Shen Yao.
"Yaoyao, we'll call you Yaoyao like Brother Mo now. This is a small token of my affection. I came in a hurry today and didn't prepare a gift for you, so please don't mind." Aunt Lin quickly took off the bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Shen Yao.
Shen Yao repeatedly waved her hands. She knew that some elders, when they saw a junior they liked, liked to give them the jewelry they wore themselves.
Things that they wore close to their bodies were either expensive or had a special origin and meaning.
So Shen Yao quickly refused, these things were not something that could be easily accepted.
"No need, Auntie. These things are too valuable."
"How are they valuable? Do you dislike that Auntie has worn them?" Aunt Lin said, with a hint of grievance in her tone?
Shen Yao quickly said, "How dare I dislike them, it's just that these things..."
Shen Yao quickly looked at Old Master Mo for help. Old Master Mo then said,
"Take them all away, take them all away. What you are wearing now is not what young people like. If you want to give gifts, buy things that young people like."
No one was angry after hearing Old Master Mo's words, and they immediately understood what he meant.
Although the things they were wearing were old, some things became more valuable with age!
"Alright, alright, then when Yaoyao and Xiao Chen get married, we'll send them to Yaoyao."
...
Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they had finally stopped pestering her to accept gifts.
Such valuable things, she didn't know whether to accept them or not. Fortunately, Old Master Mo helped her out, otherwise, she didn't know what to do.
"Yaoyao, when are you planning to have a make-up wedding? Have you decided on a date?"
"Yes, it's best to have two ceremonies, one in the capital and one in your hometown."
"Right, right, right. Also, do you have any older brothers or sisters who are not married? Introduce them to us. You don't know, Auntie's family..."
