C110 (1/2)
Old lady Xia lived in the old city district, in a small alley, which was a place where business vehicles could not enter.
When the car reached the mouth of the alley, Xia Mu told Mu to stop the car to the east.
”Can't we just find a place to park?” Xia Mu asked. He was actually a little worried that the car would be chipped by someone if it was left here. Since they met, Mu Dong had changed his car several times.
With regards to the origins of these cars, Xia Mu was initially a little doubtful. With Mu Dongdong's income, it was impossible for him to buy so many cars, not to mention that each car was not cheap. Mu Dong took the initiative to say that he borrowed a car from a friend, but Xia Mu didn't ask who that friend was.
Mu Dongfang stopped the car and carried the children out. Then, he told Xia Mu to wait for him by the roadside. This time, he found a suitable place to stop the car.
Xia Mu brought his two children and waited at the entrance of the alleyway. Around 10 AM, quite a few people came and went, and those who stayed at the entrance were all from the old neighborhoods. Some of them even knew Xia Mu.
”Yo, this isn't Xia Mu, he's back to see your grandma.” The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman.
”Yeah, you're buying vegetables!” Xia Mu knew this person, it was an aunt who lived across the street.
”I told you, I saw your grandma buying vegetables early in the morning. ”Yo, this child, he's already so tall!” The aunt smiled as she looked at the two children and said.
Nannan and the baby politely called out.
While they were chatting, Mu Dongfang walked over with a few bags in his hand.
”This is?” Mu Dongfang's face was very eye-catching. When the aunt saw him, her eyes immediately lit up.
”Hello, I am Xia Mu's lover.” Mu Dong did not hesitate and immediately declared his identity and status.
Mu Xiangdong could clearly see the blank look in the aunt's eyes. He naturally knew that the world had many speculations regarding Xia Mu's unmarried child, and this little girl had suffered so much before she could bear it all.
He didn't want anyone around him to look at her differently.
”Then …” Before the aunt could finish her sentence, the children who were standing beside Xia Mu had already flown to Mu Dongfang's side. One on each side, they raised their pretty little faces and proudly said:
”Grandmother, this is our father.”
The two children said the same thing at the same time. Their tones were so consistent that it was impossible to find a single flaw.
”Oh, oh, okay, okay.” The aunt smiled and said, ”Then I won't disturb you.”
As he said this, he carried the vegetable basket and left. He was still thinking about how he had never heard of Xia Mu getting married, but with a glance, he realized that this young lad was very spirited.
In the entire segment, aside from Xia Mu's first few words, the rest of it became a background story.
It was only when the aunt left and Mu Dongdong's voice rang in his ears that Xia Mu regained his senses.
”Baby, hold mother. Darling, hold baby, let's go home.”
The two children followed Mu Dongdong's instructions and quickly found their positions.
”What about Dad?” Since Nannan called him daddy 'smooth' and she did not want to change it then Mu Dongdong also did not want to correct her as this was what she would call him sooner or later anyways so wouldn't it be better to just call him as soon as possible?
”Dad is holding Mom's hand. Okay, now, listen to my password, destination, grandma's house. ”Walk forward.”
”Yes sir!” Nannan acted like she was saluting.
Seeing the smile on her big sister's face, Baby silently cursed in his heart, but he also raised his hand.
Xia Mu let the child hold his hand. He lifted his head and met Mu Dongliang's eyes. She could clearly see the love in them. She looked at him and gave him a sweet smile in return.
Chapter 345 - Visiting
It was a sunny day. When Xia Mu saw Grandma Xia, she was sitting on a rattan chair, basking in the sun leisurely. Her wrinkled face was kind and kind.
”Grandmother!” Xia Mu could not hold it in any longer. The corners of his eyes were moist with water.
The old lady had slightly closed her eyes. Upon hearing this familiar voice, she suddenly opened her eyes and saw her granddaughter standing in front of her.
”Little Mo Er …” The old lady's voice became agitated as she stretched out her hand, and Xia Mu followed suit and squatted beside her.
”Grandma, I missed you so much!” Xia Mu embraced the old lady's waist as he said this.
”Good, good. It's good that you're back.”
”Great granny!”
”Great granny!”
Nannan and the baby also rushed over, and the two children surrounded the old lady, chattering away.
Mu Dongfang held the shopping bag and stood to the side. He calmly looked at the four of them.
Xia Mu embarrassedly wiped away his tears and stood up. Mu Dongfang walked up and looked at the old lady who was bowing her head and said: ”Grandmother, hello.”
Old Lady Xia raised her head and saw a tall man standing in front of her. He had a handsome face with distinct features.
After the family returned to the house, Mu Dongfang placed the shopping bag on the tea table.
”Little Mo'er, go pour some tea.” Old lady Xia ordered.
Xia Mu obediently went to pour some tea while the children played by themselves. For a moment, only Mu Dong and Old Lady Xia were left in the room.
”Grandmother, I am Mu Dongfang. I came back with Xia Mu today to visit you. ” Mu Dongfang's voice was still steady as he listened to Xia Mu pouring tea in the kitchen. He felt relieved.
Actually, she wasn't sure what her grandmother would think of Mu Dongfang.
When Xia Mu returned, he didn't even mention anything about Mu Dongdong to his grandma, causing the elderly to be stunned for a moment before regaining his calm.
The old lady looked benevolently at Mu Dongfang. Even though this man was sitting there, his attitude was still something that couldn't be ignored.
”Visit? ”With what status?” The old lady asked slowly.
”I ask you to marry Xia Mu to me.” Mu Dong did not hesitate as he spoke firmly.
As Xia Mu held his teacup as he walked out, he heard Mu Dongfang's words.
