"Hehe, fine, think whatever you want, just hope you don’t regret it." Xu Mumu raised an eyebrow, Xu Xue was right, given her family’s situation, they really weren’t a match for Yin Yang.
But with Yin Yang, it’s nowhere near as troubleso as with Huo Qingze. Yin Yang had no other relatives besides his grandfather, so there was no one to make trouble for her, and most importantly, Yin Yang valued her.
The situations between Huo Qingze and Xu Xue were entirely different from theirs and were not comparable at all.
Yin Yang listened from one side without intervening, giving Xu Xue a faint glance. How could she compare to Mumu? Xu Xue’s approach towards Huo Qingze was too opportunistic, and Huo Qingze was no fool, how could he not see it?
Xu Mumu gathered all the things Xu Xue had given her into a box, which contained so of her personal items.
Seeing Xu Mumu pack the things away, Xu Xue was relieved.
As the saying goes, won chasing n is like a layer of gauze, as long as she perseveres, Huo Qingze will definitely be moved by her, Xu Xue was quite confident in herself.
The afternoon was especially lively, Madam Chen made several dishes, and Xu Mumu sat next to Yin Yang, listening to the two aunts talk about the events that had happened in the team lately, which were still so interesting.
But after having lunch, Xu Jiaojiao and the others stayed a while and then took a car back to their ho village. The main reason they ca over this ti was because Xu Mumu had returned.
After they left, Madam Chen and the others started sorting through the things they brought, including so fresh vegetables, dried mushrooms, a bag of sweet potatoes, and looking at these things made Madam Chen very happy, as these could last them a few days.
Then they packed these things away to eat slowly.
Li Caixia didn’t think much of these items now, but she didn’t say anything. After all, these items were free gifts, and it would be a waste not to take them, especially as vegetables outside weren’t cheap, and mushroom soup tasted quite good.
Xu Mumu and the others were leaving tomorrow, and Li Caixia was especially reluctant.
"Daughter, you’re leaving again. When will you co back?" Li Caixia held Xu Mumu’s hand to talk to her, not even wanting to watch Xu Hai study.
"Mom, I have final exams in two months, and we’ll be back during sumr vacation, it won’t be long." Xu Mumu said with a smile, feeling a bit reluctant as well, but she had to return to school.
"That’s true, it’s already May, and sumr vacation isn’t far away. When you co back next ti, I’ll prepare so smoked at for you to take back and slowly eat. What else do you want, I’ll get it for you." Li Caixia thought about it and felt a bit less reluctant.
"Next ti I co back, I want to eat fish. Mom, get so smoked fish ready." Xu Mumu said with a bright smile, without any hesitance.
"Eating fish is easy enough, why didn’t you say so earlier? If you had, I’d have asked your second and fourth uncles to get so ready, and bring them over when you have vacation. After all, there’s a big river at the entrance of the village." Li Caixia looked as if she had missed out.
"Then just tell them next ti when you go back to the village." Xu Mumu said with a smile, indeed, those fish weren’t worth much, and during the flood season, you could easily get so to smoke and preserve for a long ti, eating them slowly was no problem.
"Next ti I go back, I’ll have your fourth uncle save a few rabbits, smoke them, and keep them for when you return." Li Caixia started planning, since there were plenty of rabbits at the old place, Li Caixia thought of moving all the good stuff from the countryside over.
"Sure." Xu Mumu nodded with a smile, after all, it wouldn’t be much anyway, just two or three, which wasn’t really a loss.
Early the next morning, Xu Minghui and the others ca to see Xu Mumu and the others off. Before they left, Li Caixia gave Xu Mumu all the dried mushrooms from ho, because she liked them, to take back to the Imperial City to enjoy.
Madam Chen baked over ten pancakes and boiled a few eggs; at Xu Mumu’s strong insistence, only a few were cooked, as cooking more would be too much, and on the train, she wouldn’t have much appetite anyway.
Boarding the train, Xu Mumu waved back at her family, as the train slowly started moving.
"When sumr vacation cos, we should stay here all the ti." Yin Yang said warmly, knowing Xu Mumu was already missing her family.
"Of course we should stay here, the Imperial City will definitely be hot." Xu Mumu replied with a smile.
"Right, by then we can bring Grandpa and Sir Jian over too, it’s cooler here." Yin Yang said with a smile.
"That’s more like it." Xu Mumu was happy.
After the May holiday, it seed like quite a few people were leaving, with plenty of people holding standing tickets on the train, making it very crowded.
Each stop saw a significant number of people getting off, and a similar amount getting on.
"Are you feeling unwell? I’ll go get so hot water." Noticing Xu Mumu looking uncomfortable, Yin Yang was a bit worried.
"Okay." Xu Mumu nodded, indeed feeling unwell. She caught a slight cold last night, resulting in dizziness today. Once on the train, with its poor air circulation, she felt even more uncomfortable.
When Yin Yang returned with a cup of boiled water, seeing Xu Mumu uncomfortably leaning on the bed, he frowned slightly, reaching out to touch her forehead, which was sowhat hot.
Yin Yang felt a bit guilty as he realized if he’d noticed his little girlfriend’s discomfort earlier, he would have already bought her dicine. Now, with the train already rolling, they’d been traveling for nearly a day.
She had a slight fever, so Yin Yang poured out the hot water to cool down a bit, for Xu Mumu to drink.
"Mumu, put on another layer." Yin Yang searched the box and found a thick coat for Xu Mumu to wear. This coat was among the clothes Xu Mumu had brought, inserted by Li Caixia out of fear her daughter would get cold; otherwise, Xu Mumu wouldn’t have brought it.
"Yin Yang, I’m dizzy." Xu Mumu leaned into Yin Yang’s embrace, not caring about the curious eyes around them. In this world for nearly two years, this was her first ti falling sick, and being ill felt awful: dizziness combined with the noise made her feel worse.
"Drink so hot water, and I’ll get a towel to cool you down." Yin Yang said gently, grateful that Xu Mumu only had a slight fever. If it were any higher, he would have taken her out to buy dicine.
"Okay." Xu Mumu obediently drank the water Yin Yang held to her lips. The temperature was just right, and it ward her cold body.
Seeing Xu Mumu drink the water, Yin Yang carefully laid her down on the bed, filling a small basin with hot water, wetting a cloth, and wiping her face before placing the cloth on her forehead.
Yin Yang sat beside her, blocking the light coming from outside. Whenever the cloth on her forehead turned cold, he replaced it with a warr one, repeating this several tis until Xu Mumu eventually fell asleep.
