Chapter 868 - 361: The baby cries, grow old together, I want to see it with him.
The days of summer vacation flew by.
During this time, we visited various tourist spots in Zheng City with a few girls, checking in at each location.
As a local, Xu Musen found it uninteresting, but the relationships among the girls seemed to get better and better.
Of course, no one would let go of any chance to get jealous or fight over things.
It was time to return to Huhai.
Zhu Yulan and Zhao Lianmai both came along to carpool.
Mother Xu was a bit reluctant, looking at the few girls in front of her. She had made many desserts over the last two days, and she packed them individually for each girl, ensuring each portion was the same.
A true master of hospitality!
"Take care on your way, and remember to come to our place and hang out, okay? Have fun in Huhai, and I'll make you more delicious food!"
Mother Xu sighed and waved, women are always so emotional.
The girls were also full of reluctance, each hugging Mother Xu.
They expressed their reluctance to leave.
Xu Musen was busy silently helping them load the luggage into the car.
Neighbors in the housing complex who were out for a walk watched the scene from a distance, unable to help but exclaim.
"Wow, the Xu family is blessed, such beautiful girls."
"They all look so elegant and at an age that is probably college, the most beautiful period of their lives."
"It'd be a blessing if my son could meet even one of these girls..."
Finally, the farewell.
Xu Musen waved to his parents, "You both take it easy, just check on the shop a couple of times a day and take care of your health!"
I can't bring myself to say too cheesy stuff.
Blessings among family are always simple and heartfelt.
Driving off, the girls poked their heads out of the car window, "Bye Uncle and Auntie!!"
Their clear, pleasant voices seemed to add a charming touch to the whole housing complex.
Father Xu and Mother Xu watched the vehicle drive away.
They were both happy and reluctant as the house had been so lively these past few days.
Now suddenly, it was just them, an old couple, left at home.
Father Xu then directly drove to work.
Mother Xu stood downstairs, about to turn and go upstairs when she saw a woman in her forties or fifties approach.
Though people in the housing complex weren't as close as those in a village, having lived here for decades, everyone was familiar with each other. She recognized the woman as a neighbor from the building next door.
She usually loved gossiping around the block, talking without thinking, and Mother Xu would just nod in response when seeing her.
"Hey, busy?"
The woman greeted with a smile.
"I'm not so busy now, have you eaten?" responded Mother Xu politely.
"I had breakfast already, saw your front door was quite lively just now. All those pretty girls, where did they come from?" the woman asked cheerily, her eyes already shining.
Mother Xu could guess what she wanted to say; women of this age often had matchmaking on their minds if they had children.
"Yes, the loveliest girl among them is my son's girlfriend."
"Oh, haha, I saw her, she's really pretty, and what a figure too, she'll sure give you some big, fat grandkids!"
The woman laughed, clearly fixated on the idea of future grandchildren.
"Hey, I remember your son was quite close to Yao Mingyue, right? That girl just now didn't look like Ming Yue, did she?"
The woman suddenly recalled, as excellent as Yao Ming Yue was, many in the community were always keeping an eye on her.
Hearing this, Mother Xu's expression slightly changed, ultimately just forcing a smile, "I'm not so clear about the young people's matters."
Actually, Mother Xu was a bit unhappy; it was like others sprinkling salt on her wounds.
Nuannuan was indeed a lovely girl, and as long as her son liked her, they would support him.
But Ming Yue was practically raised by them, nearly twenty years of attachment, surpassing a simple mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.
So the current situation brought both happiness and regret to them.
However, the woman laughed happily, her eyes gleaming as if she had found a treasure, "That's great then!"
Mother Xu looked up at her, her face now void of any smile.
"No, that's not what I meant. I was saying your son also found a beautiful girlfriend, no less charming than Ming Yue."
Realizing her overly joyful expression was uncalled for, the woman quickly explained.
"Ah, I just remembered I have something to attend to. I should go now."
Watching the woman's previous expression, Mother Xu didn't have the patience for niceties anymore.
The look was as if she wanted her daughter-in-law to divorce and marry into her family; who would be happy about that?
"Oh no, come on, we're from the same complex, we know each other's family situations. Why not let Ming Yue meet my child..."
"You better talk to Ming Yue's family yourself," Mother Xu turned and was ready to leave, having already had enough of this tactless loudmouth.
"It's just a matter of helping out, since your son and Ming Yue aren't together anymore, please do me this favor..."
What do you think?
