"Uh, okay." Yin Yang nodded helplessly.
Soon the dishes were served. Xu Mumu tasted a bite of the braised fish from the large plate, Master Yang’s cooking skills were excellent, the taste was really quite good.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Seeing Xu Mumu eating happily, Yin Yang also tried a bite, the taste was indeed nice.
"I like it, Master Yang’s skills are really good." Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"If you like it, eat more. This fish doesn’t have many fine bones, so eat without worry." Yin Yang said with a smile.
"You eat too, don’t just keep watching eat." Being watched by Yin Yang all the ti, Xu Mumu felt a bit embarrassed.
She herself didn’t even know what exactly attracted him to her. She didn’t think she had many strong points, but she knew quite a few of her own flaws.
White rice and three side dishes, Xu Mumu ate quite a lot. The two of them finished everything.
"Uh, so full." Xu Mumu touched her belly, accidentally overeating. This was the first ti she got this full since coming to this world, it was quite a novelty.
"Do you want to buy so digestive tablets?" Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu helplessly.
"No need, we can walk slowly around the town, I also want to go to the supply store to buy so malted milk essence. My little brother’s milk powder is almost finished too." Xu Mumu said as she walked, calculating what things she needed to buy.
"Do you want to ask soone to get so milk powder for you?" Yin Yang asked.
"No need, my brother often travels out of town, he knows to bring so back. We’ll just buy so malted milk essence, that’s enough." Xu Mumu shook her head, not wanting to trouble Yin Yang with such a small matter.
The two walked and chatted, and when they arrived at the supply store, there weren’t many people there. Most people ca to buy things in the morning.
Xu Mumu bought two cans of malted milk essence and also got so snacks. Nowadays, she habitually buys so treats to please the little kids at ho.
When paying, Yin Yang tried to pay, but Xu Mumu refused.
"Mumu, do you want to go fishing by the river later?" Yin Yang asked expectantly as they headed back to the village.
"Are there fish?" Xu Mumu asked. If there were fish, she would naturally want to go.
"Yes, it rained heavily a few days ago, the river water level has risen quite a bit, and naturally, there are a lot of fish. I’ll grill the fish I catch for you, how about that?" Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu.
"Then I’ll bring so seasonings out after I put the things away when I get back." Xu Mumu nodded, wanting to eat grilled fish, even though they had just eaten a al not long ago.
"Okay." Yin Yang nodded with a smile, "Let walk you ho."
"Suit yourself." Xu Mumu glanced at her ho, which was not far away, and her lips twitched. This guy really made her a bit fond of him.
After going ho, Xu Mumu put down the things and saw so kids there, "Do you want to play, go fish by the river." Xu Mumu asked.
"Yes, I want to go." Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up imdiately.
"Mumu, take your little brother out to play too. I’m going to your grandpa’s house." Li Caixia ca out holding the youngest son, placing him in Xu Mumu’s arms.
"Why go to grandpa’s house?" Xu Mumu asked curiously, adjusting her little brother to a comfortable position, letting him lean against her.
"Our family got an award certificate; of course, we need to go and brag to your grandpa and them." Li Caixia had long wanted to go back and show off.
"Alright then, I bought two cans of malted milk essence, take one to grandpa. By the way, about the things we took, don’t even tell grandpa’s family." Xu Mumu couldn’t help but remind her mom.
"Don’t worry, do you think you need to teach this?" Li Caixia was speechless, feeling her daughter didn’t trust her. She never revealed her good stuff to others.
"Okay, okay, mom, you’re the smartest, right?" Xu Mumu said helplessly.
Then, Xu Mumu carried her little brother, took the kids out, and brought a small knife with her. This small knife was confiscated from Zhou Yuan, very sharp and useful, not sure where Zhou Yuan got it from.
Seeing Xu Mumu bringing so many people, Yin Yang didn’t mind. He certainly would have preferred just the two of them, but he was also worried about people gossiping about Xu Mumu. This was just fine.
"Is this your little brother? Quite cute." Yin Yang looked at the little guy being held by Xu Mumu and pinched his soft little hand.
"Yeah, cute, right? This little rascal tends to eat a lot; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so chubby." Xu Mumu laughed and kissed the little one’s cheek, "If he gets any heavier, I won’t be able to hold him."
Arriving by the river, Yin Yang went back to get the fishing net. The kids were overjoyed to be in the water.
Xu Mumu, having to hold her little brother, didn’t go into the river to play with them.
"Mumu, why did you co to the river to play too?" Zhao Qian ca over with a vegetable basket.
"My siblings ca to the river to catch fish, and I’m just here to watch with my little brother. Qian, you’re here to pick wild vegetables?" Xu Mumu smiled at Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian was already engaged and would be getting married in a few months. Her good friend Liu izi was already married.
"Yes, oh wow, your little brother is really sturdy." Zhao Qian looked enviously at the child Xu Mumu was holding. It was rare in the countryside to see a child so well-fed; so families couldn’t even keep their children from starving.
"This little guy has a good appetite, so naturally he grows well." Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"Your little brother is only half a year old, right? He’s bigger than my brother was at one year old." Zhao Qian said seriously. Xu Mumu’s family lived well; they managed to raise the child so healthily.
Previously, she heard that the Xu family’s life was good, thought it was boasting, but it’s true. Looking at those kids, they were all rosy-cheeked, unlike other children who looked pale.
Suddenly, Zhao Qian saw Yin Yang in the river catching fish. Yin Yang’s fishing net had already been given to Xu Minglei and the other kids to play with, and he was using his hands to search along the riverbank.
"Yin Zhiqing, are you also here to catch fish by the river?" Zhao Qian looked at Yin Yang. She used to like him quite a bit, but now that she was engaged, she had put that fondness aside.
"Yeah, anything you need?" Yin Yang lifted his eyes and glanced at Zhao Qian, then continued his search for fish. He seed to have seen a carp swim by earlier.
"Nothing much, Mumu, why is Yin Zhiqing catching fish with your siblings?" Zhao Qian curiously asked. She had heard before that Xu Mumu and Yin Yang were quite close, and many girls in the village envied her.
Yin Yang was good-looking, and many wanted to date him. Although Yin Yang seed gentle and polite, he kept a distance and wouldn’t get too close with any girl.
"Yeah, he had nothing to do, so he joined in to catch fish." Xu Mumu said with a smile, glancing at Yin Yang who also happened to look over. The sunlight on Yin Yang made Xu Mumu’s heart skip a beat.
