Chapter 669
"Let's leave after dinner." Zhou Shuilian insisted.
"I miss Kang Kang, and they must be waiting for me too." Everyone knows who they are when Mu Zhi said.
"I'll take Muzhi back." Zhou Huada volunteered.
"Mushui, give Xiao Zhou a flashlight and be careful on the way." Zhou Shuilian didn't force herself to stay. She went to the corridor, took down some things and put them in the backpack, and handed them to Mu Zhi.
"This is for you and Kang Kang."
"Thank you, second sister-in-law, second brother, then I'll go back first. I'll bring Kang Kang to greet you the new year the day after tomorrow." Mu Zhi carried a basket on her back and walked outside with the bag she brought back.
Zhou Huada followed closely behind. When he walked to the yard, he took the bag over, carried it on his body, and carried the basket on his body. He was powered by a flash. The two figures accompanied by two lines of footprints and a ray of light, and went further and further away.
Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu went to the kitchen and arranged for everyone to have dinner, and then went back to their house to rest.
"This is the scarf I promised to give you. You came two days ago and haven't been prepared yet." Mu Zhi took out the scarf from her bag and handed it to Zhou Huada, and took the flashlight from Zhou Huada's hand.
"This is still from fur, it's so warm." It was too dark, and Zhou Huada couldn't see clearly, but the feeling of the purchase made him guess immediately.
Zhou Huada quickly surrounded his neck and said in a rare manner, "It's so warm."
"Just like it." Mu Zhi replied softly.
Zhou Huada laughed twice.
Soon, I arrived home and could see the faint lights in the house from outside.
Muzhi knocked on the door.
"Smack it."
"Who?" Old Man Mu's voice sounded. Now, there is only the old couple and a child in this house. The door is usually locked early.
"Dad, it's me, Muzhi." Muzhi replied loudly.
Old Man Mu quickly put on his clothes, put on his cotton shoes, and went to the yard.
Liu Yaomei also got out of bed and dressed Kang Kang. In the middle of winter, Kang Kang was stuffed into the bed. When Mu Zhi came back, she would definitely play with Kang Kang, so she put on her clothes first and waited for Mu Zhi to come in.
"Muzhi, why did you come back? Your mother and I are anxious." Old Man Mu opened the door and started talking nonstop when he saw Muzhi. However, when he saw the man appearing behind Muzhi, he immediately closed his mouth and showed a vigilant expression.
Although Zhou Huada sent Mu Zhi home while picking watermelons. Old Man Mu had seen Zhou Huada, but at this moment, Zhou Huada was wearing a bloated cotton jacket, a hat, and a scarf covering most of her face, and her eyes were revealed. Old Man Mu didn't recognize her for a moment.
"Dad, this is Xiao Zhou. I have been here to deliver watermelons in Xiatian." Mu Zhi quickly explained.
"Is it Xiao Zhou? Why are you here now?" Old Man Mu felt relieved and asked in confusion.
"It's cold outside, let's talk about it when you go in." Muzhi stomped her feet and walked into the house first.
Old Man Mu closed the door and entered the room with Zhou Huada.
After entering the room, it was obviously warmer than outside, but it was far from the warmth of Mu Xiu's house.
"Mom, Mom." Kang Kang was wearing a round dress and couldn't walk steadily, and he rushed towards Muzhi shakingly.
"Kang Kang, my baby." Mu Zhi saw his son, quickly stepped forward and squatted down, picked Kang Kang up, kissed him hard on the face a few times before picking Kang Kang up and sitting next to the bed.
"Uncle Zhou." Kang Kang saw someone coming, his little eyes rolled around a few times, and recognized Zhou Huada.
"Kang Kang has a good memory and can still recognize me." Zhou Huada grabbed a handful of candy from his pocket and reached out to Kang Kang to show it.
"Tiantian." Kang Kang saw Tang, and even Muzhi didn't want it. He struggled and rushed towards Zhou Huada. Zhou Huada raised Kang Kang, and Kang Kang's laughter rang out in the room.
"We thought you wouldn't be back this year." Liu Yaomei said to Muzhi.
"After the store, I hurried back." Muzhi pointed to the backpack in front of the door and continued, "I just went to my second brother's house, and this was what my second sister-in-law asked to bring back."
"What Shuilian said to bring to us?" A shiny light appeared in Liu Yaomei's eyes.
"No, she said she brought it to me and Kang Kang. She didn't say it. She knew that she would eat it together after making it." Muzhi comforted.
"We are sorry for the second family first. That's it. I'm content." Liu Yaomei said with a wry smile.
"Dad, mom, this is Xiao Zhou, you have seen it in Xiatian." Mu Zhi saw Liu Yaomei like this and quickly changed the topic.
"Xiao Zhou? I remembered, why don't you go home during the Chinese New Year?" Liu Yaomei was indeed distracted and she asked curiously.
"Uncle, aunty, I'm here to discuss the watermelon business, which has delayed my trip. What's more, I'm alone, and it's the same wherever I celebrate the New Year." Zhou Huada said with a smile.
When Liu Yaomei heard Zhou Huada say "a lonely man", she moved her mind and looked at Muzhi thoughtfully.
What I saw was Mu Zhi looking at the opposite side with gentle eyes. I don’t know if he was looking at Kang Kang or Zhou Huada. The smile on his face was so happy.
Mu Zhi took the initiative to mention Kang Kang's father to Liu Yaomei. She said that Kang Kang's father had an accident and disappeared, so don't mention it again in the future. Liu Yaomei's eyes were swollen from crying, and she sighed that her life was miserable. Her only daughter who could rely on was actually a widow at a young age.
But later Muzhi took more money to her family than the men in the village, and took great care of the old couple. Only then did she believe that Muzhi could really take good care of this family.
"Xiao Zhou, just live with me. Although it is simple, it is still clean." After all, Liu Yaomei is so old that she doesn't understand anything. Mu Zhi is taking care of her children, so it's hard to find someone. If Xiao Zhou doesn't mind Mu Zhi, she has to hurry up.
Zhou Huada was happy and was about to agree, but he didn't expect Mu Zhi to say first, "Mom, let Xiao Zhou live in my second brother's house. He recognizes the bed and is not used to changing places."
Mu Zhi was anxious to refuse, and never thought about how she knew that Zhou Huada had recognized the bed.
But Liu Yaomei and Old Man Mu heard it. The two looked at each other. Liu Yaomei said with a smile, "Okay, listen to Mu Zhi, it's too dark, you should go back quickly, otherwise it will be more difficult to walk on the road later."
"Yes, you go back quickly, I'll take you out." Muzhi said.
"Uncle and aunt, I'll see you again in two days." Zhou Huada listened to Mu Zhi's words very much, and then walked out after saying goodbye.
When Muzhi closed the door, she looked at Zhou Huada and saw that he had no intention of speaking. She couldn't help but say, "Don't you ask me why you didn't let you live in my house?"
"I didn't know just now, but now I know." Zhou Huada smiled and continued, "After all, after the New Year, I will come to your house to propose marriage. I live here during the New Year, which will not have a good impact on you."
