Got a comprehensive understanding of this area, and now have a more intuitive understanding of the changes in the village.

Stayed for lunch in the hometown at noon. The second uncle’s house is still under construction and busy, so Xu Mumu and the others joined Xu Xue in having a big pot meal.

In the afternoon, after watching for a while, the two of them took a ride back home.

When they got home, the little brother rushed over so quickly that Xu Mumu almost didn’t catch him.

"Run slower, aren’t you afraid of falling?" Xu Mumu helplessly picked up the little guy.

"Sister went to play without taking me." The little guy looked at his sister accusingly. He also wanted to go back and play; there are many fun things in the countryside, and Tiedan even said he’d take him to catch fish.

"How about taking you back to play after a while?" Xu Mumu said with a gentle smile. In the morning, the little guy was eating, and Madam Chen didn’t tell him about it. Madam Chen also didn’t want to disturb Xu Mumu and their couple’s time alone.

After his sister left, the little guy realized something was wrong and cried at home.

If Xu Minglei hadn’t taken him out for a walk, the little guy would have made a big fuss.

Hearing about the little brother’s glorious deeds from Xu Minglei, Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched. This little rascal really likes to cause trouble.

In the morning, Xu Minglei was studying, and he bothered his brother’s studies.

"At home, you have to be obedient to grandfather, grandmother, and your brothers and sisters. Otherwise, you won’t be taken to play next time." Xu Mumu pinched the little rascal’s cheek, it was so tender she wanted to take a bite.

"I want sister." The little guy pouted, still angry.

"Your sister is busy, she doesn’t have time to take you." Madam Chen glared at the little rascal. Now that the granddaughter has graduated, she’s definitely got things to do, and they also want to have children, so they can’t let the grandson be so reckless.

"Sister will play with you when she’s free." Xu Mumu said gently, not knowing why this little rascal likes to cling to her so much.

"Alright." The little rascal finally brightened up.

In the evening, there were unexpectedly guests at home, friends of Xu Mumu’s father.

When Xu Hai returned, he brought two bottles of wine.

Xu Mumu helped Madam Chen with dinner. Madam Chen recognized the person. He was a friend from Xu Hai’s factory who had come over for dinner twice. It was said that when Xu Hai first joined the factory, he was the one who guided him, teaching him how to read all sorts of blueprints and had helped him a lot with work.

This was something Xu Mumu had never heard her family mention before. Hearing her grandmother say it now, she had a rather good impression of the person.

Over there, Xu Hai was already boasting about his children to He Yijun. Although he had said it countless times, he couldn’t help but boast once again, with Li Caixia chiming in. The living room was truly lively.

Listening from the kitchen, Xu Mumu could hardly bear it; her parents’ faces were really too thick.

When Xu Minghui returned, the topic reached its peak.

Xu Minghui knew He Yijun and greeted him with a smile.

He Yijun was indeed a bit envious of Xu Hai. Each of their children was so accomplished. Unlike his own son, who wouldn’t do homework unless someone stood over him with a stick, he only knew how to play all day without worrying anyone.

The walls of the Xu family were covered with all kinds of awards, and some certificates framed and hung openly, as if afraid others wouldn’t know.

His brat had never received an award, which made him feel quite dejected. He heard from Xu Hai that his younger son had won a prestigious award before, with a substantial prize. At that time, he was extremely envious.

"Grandma, are my parents always praising us like this outside?" Listening, Xu Mumu couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. Their siblings were praised by their parents to such an extent that they felt embarrassed, even though she thought her own face was thick enough now.

"This isn’t praising; it’s facts. You know your parents’ temperament. They’ll feel suffocated if they don’t boast a bit." Madam Chen said calmly.

Xu Mumu: "...." Seeing her grandma’s expression, she felt even her grandma had been influenced by them.

There were quite a few people for dinner, so Xu Hai brought out the biggest round table in the house.

This largest table was just right. At the dinner table, Xu Hai was still boasting, and also asked about how He Yijun’s kids were doing.

Honestly, if this person still wanted to be friends with her dad when he kept piercing him like this, it must be true love.

Watching He Yijun eat quickly, Xu Mumu couldn’t help but sweat for her dad.

After dinner, Xu Hai wanted to keep He Yijun around to chat, but He Yijun quickly declined. He felt his head must have malfunctioned today to come to Xu Hai’s house for dinner, even though the Xu family’s food was indeed very good, and those kids were undeniably outstanding.

However, what Xu Hai kept saying, he almost memorized already; sometimes, even at work, he’d be boasting, making the people in the workshop roll their eyes.

"Ah, I haven’t finished talking yet, and Junzi left. I’ll continue with him tomorrow." Watching He Yijun leave, Xu Hai felt a bit down. His kids are so outstanding, he could talk about them for days. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Xu Mumu really didn’t want to hear it. She thought if her dad acted like this, wasn’t he afraid of getting beaten up in a sack; he really was asking for it.

"Exactly, make sure to speak clearly tomorrow." Li Caixia immediately chimed in.

Xu Mumu: "...." Truly birds of a feather flock together; no wonder her dad could marry her mom back then, look at their personalities, they’re exactly the same. Back in the village, Xu Hai was a bit more reserved, but once he moved to the provincial city, he didn’t hold back at all.

Yin Yang watched from the side and wanted to laugh too. He had witnessed such scenes twice already. The first time, he was stunned, but now he had fully adapted.

"Alright, you get used to it." Yin Yang squeezed Xu Mumu’s hand.

Xu Mumu was silent for two seconds, not quite sure how they got used to it. Watching her brothers going about as if it was normal, she felt a bit out of place herself.

"Sister, I want honey water." The little rascal climbed onto Xu Mumu’s lap.

"Sit tight, I’ll make you some honey water." Xu Mumu moved the little guy onto the chair and got up to mix some honey.

"I want petals too, rose petals." The little rascal, seeing the honey water made, also wanted petals. These petals were sent by Xu Mumu from the Imperial City; adding some petals makes it look nice.

Xu Mumu twitched her mouth, the little rascal sure knows how to enjoy life, resignedly adding a few petals. The petals gradually unfolded in the cup, making it look pretty.

The little guy hugged the cup and drank contentedly.
