When the two returned, they received enthusiastic attention from the entire brigade.
"Mumu, are you guys really dating?"
"You two are a perfect match."
"When are you two getting married?"
"...."
Xu Mumu almost dragged Yin Yang away, this group of people was simply too scary.
"Oh my, too scary." Xu Mumu wiped the sweat from her forehead. She really wasn’t used to being bombarded with questions by so many people.
"Here, are you tired?" Yin Yang took out a pristine white handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Xu Mumu, who was sweating from being squeezed by those people.
"Not really tired, just a bit overwheld by their enthusiasm." Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"If you don’t like it, I’ll handle it next ti." Yin Yang said with a laugh. He didn’t even have a chance to show off today; Xu Mumu just dragged him away.
"Alright." Xu Mumu nodded, better to let Yin Yang handle it.
"My grandpa wants to et you, Mumu. When should we go and see him?" Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu expectantly.
"I’m free anyti." Xu Mumu was slightly stunned, eting the family, feeling a bit shy.
"Then let’s go in the afternoon." Yin Yang’s eyes lit up.
"Alright." Xu Mumu nodded, then asked, "Are we just going there directly?"
Xu Mumu looked at Yin Yang, was he planning to reveal his relationship with Professor Song directly?
"Let’s go directly in the afternoon, the weather is getting hot, and we won’t need to work for the ti being. Not many people go out in the sun." Yin Yang said seriously. He had pretty much figured out the brigade’s routines. He mostly went to the cowshed at night; other tis, to see his grandpa, he usually went out when people weren’t around.
"True enough." Xu Mumu nodded, "What do you think I should bring as a gift for your grandpa and them?" Xu Mumu started to worry again.
"No need for any gifts, just you going will make my grandpa very happy." Yin Yang said gently. It’s true; the Yin family and the Song family have both suffered setbacks. He’s already aware of many things; he just hopes Yin Yang finds a girl who treats him sincerely.
Professor Song hadn’t t Xu Mumu yet, but she had helped them a few tis. Plus, Yin Yang often ntioned Xu Mumu in front of them, so their impression of her was quite good.
Xu Mumu rolled her eyes, "How could I go empty-handed? Your grandpa would think I’m impolite."
"He wouldn’t." Yin Yang said earnestly.
Giving Yin Yang a glare, they returned to the Xu Family. Madam Chen was already preparing lunch, and Yin Yang was called over by Xu Minghui to chat, while Xu Mumu was summoned to the kitchen by Madam Chen to stoke the fire.
"Mumu, have you really thought it through?" Madam Chen asked Xu Mumu, her hands never stopping with the knife.
"I have. I think Yin Yang is pretty good." Xu Mumu nodded with a smile. She understood her family’s concerns, but these situations would surely change in the future.
"I just worry you’ll regret it later." Madam Chen looked at Xu Mumu with affection.
"We can talk about that then, Grandma. You know my skills. If Yin Yang isn’t suitable, we’ll break up later, even if we’re married, there’s always divorce. I can take care of myself." Xu Mumu said seriously.
"Alright, Grandma supports you. If Yin Yang ever bullies you, let know, and I’ll set him straight." With her granddaughter saying this, it’s true; everyone knew of Xu Mumu’s capabilities. She could certainly take care of herself, so what was there to worry about?
If there’s anything to worry about, it should be about Yin Yang, whether he could withstand Xu Mumu’s strength if he ever tried to bully her.
With this thought, Madam Chen’s mood brightened. Yin Yang only had a grandpa in his family, essentially a lone person now. They’d have to rely on the Old Xu Family’s support in the future, so he surely wouldn’t dare bully Xu Mumu.
Madam Chen was quite pleased with her thoughts; her uncertainties had long vanished. Yin Yang was quite a catch, a perfect match for her granddaughter.
When Xu Mumu and Madam Chen brought the dishes to the table, Yin Yang and Xu Minghui were actually laughing and chatting, much to Xu Mumu’s surprise. How did Yin Yang win over her brother? In the morning, her brother was quite hostile toward Yin Yang, yet now they were getting along? Amazing!
Curiously, she glanced at Yin Yang, who flashed her a bright smile.
Now wasn’t the ti to ask. There were quite a few people around the main table, and Xu Mumu sat next to Yin Yang.
Lunchti was lively, as if the morning’s dissatisfaction with Yin Yang had completely dissipated, and now he was the favored prospective son-in-law.
After lunch, Xu Mumu searched around the house for so food and picked a basket of vegetables from their private plot before heading to the cowshed with Yin Yang.
When they left, it was already past two in the afternoon. The sun was quite intense, and there weren’t many people outside. The two managed to avoid others, so no one knew where they went upon reaching the cowshed.
Following Yin Yang to the cowshed, it had been renovated, appearing better than the brigade’s houses. The area around the cowshed was clean and tidy.
"Old Song, that Yin Yang boy brought his girlfriend over." Professor Jian was tending to so vegetables outside the cowshed. Seeing Yin Yang with Xu Mumu, he called out toward the house.
"Grandpa Jian, Mumu, this is Grandpa Jian, my grandpa’s friend." Yin Yang introduced them with a smile.
"Hello, Grandpa Jian." Xu Mumu politely greeted him, wanting to leave a good impression on these people first.
"This is Grandpa Shen, this is Grandpa An, and this is my grandpa. Grandpa, this is Mumu, my girlfriend." As Professor Song ca out, Yin Yang introduced them imdiately.
"Hello, grandpas. These are just so things from our private plot, not worth much, but I hope you’ll like them." Xu Mumu said warmly. The professors seed kind, and her first impression of them was quite good.
"You didn’t have to bring anything, co in, it’s hot outside." Song Huaiyuan looked at them fondly. Having lived this long, this young girl had clear eyes and showed respect toward them, unlike others who would shun them.
Moreover, the waft of scholarly atmosphere about the young girl left a good impression on them. The saying that knowledge brings its own charisma seed true here.
