C121 (1/2)
Xia Mu pushed Mu to the east, signaling the man to let her go.
Mu Dongfang smirked and let go of Xia Mu's hand.
Xia Mu pushed the broken hair to the back of his head, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked: ”What's wrong?”
The foreman replied, ”The lights are ready. Go take a look.”
”Alright.”
After clearing out the wages, the construction of the breakfast shop came to an end. The rest were mainly on cleaning up and the purchase of the tableware.
”Xia Mu, leave it there and don't move. I'll do it.” Mu Dongfang had just cleaned up the stove when he saw Xia Mu carrying a box into the store.
”It's fine, it's not that heavy.” Xia Mu placed the box in the corner.
”What did you buy?” Mu Xiangdong walked over and squatted beside the box.
”Before, I ordered some dishes, but they just arrived today.”
He opened the box and neatly packed the tableware one by one into the box.
They put the bowls and chopsticks into the cupboard and began to clean the breakfast.
Time passed, minute by minute. The two of them worked together, but they did not feel teary at all.
By the time he finished cleaning up and checked the time again, it was already almost 12: 30.
”What do you want for lunch?”
Xia Mu washed his hands on the water pipe as he replied, ”There's nothing special I want to eat. What about you?”
”I know there's a place to eat. How about taking you to have a taste?” Mu Dongfang suggested.
”Alright.” Xia Mu smiled as he stared at Mu Dong.
Mu Dongfang held Xia Mu's hand and walked into the corridor. The corridor wasn't very wide, so it was a bit crowded when the two walked side by side.
Mu Dongfang walked in front with Xia Mu behind him. ”It's a bit dark. Pay attention to the ground.”
”Uncle He.” Mu Dongdong walked into the house and shouted at the top of his lungs.
A middle-aged man heard a voice and walked out of the kitchen. When he saw who it was, he asked with a smile, ”Why are you here?”
”Uncle He, I've brought someone here to have a taste.” Mu Dongdong replied with a smile.
”It's such a coincidence that you came. Sit first.”
”Uncle He, there's no need to go through all the trouble.” Uncle He, there's no need to go through all the trouble.
”Do you want to eat the hotpot?” The middle-aged man asked.
Mu Dongfang smiled as he looked at Xia Mu. Xia Mu replied, ”I can do anything.”
While waiting, Xia Mu took the opportunity to observe the dining area.
The living room and two bedrooms were used as a dining room. There was plenty of light in the living room, and the wooden table was covered with a red and white checked tablecloth. On the table was a glass bottle with a small unknown flower stuck in it.
”What are you thinking about?” Mu Dong handed over a cup of tea and asked with a smile.
The mellow taste of buckwheat tea is carried to the end of the nose.
Xia Mu raised his teacup and took a sip before replying, ”The environment here is not bad.”
”We all call that person Uncle He. ”Guess what Uncle He does?”
Xia Mu carried a blue and white porcelain teacup and replied with a smile, ”A chef?”
”Half right.”
Xia Mu slightly raised his brows and asked, ”What about the other half?”
Mu Dongfang poured some tea into the cup and said, ”Uncle He and my father were classmates. They were previously university professors, but due to their physical condition, they left the campus. ”Uncle He is an expert in cooking. When he has nothing better to do, he would make a private restaurant. If he is interested, he would make a table. If he is in a bad mood one day, this place …” After saying this, Mu Dongfang intentionally looked towards the kitchen before turning back to Xia Mu.
”If Uncle He's in a bad mood, even if the god has come, he can still chase him out!”
Just as he finished speaking, a loud and clear voice came from behind him: ”Dong Zi, why aren't you coming over to help?!”

Mu Xiangdong blinked his eyes at Xia Mu and loudly replied, ”Hey, you're here!”
When they came out of the kitchen, Xia Mu saw that Mu Dong had already brought out a large brass pot.
The copper pot was split into two, one red and one white. The bottom of this pot was also called a mandarin duck pot.
The pot had just been set up when he heard the door open.
”Dad, I'm back.” A clear and beautiful voice rang out. Xia Mu turned his head and saw a teenage girl wearing the school uniform of a high school entering from the door.
”Kacha, hurry up and wash your hands before eating.” Uncle He said to his daughter.
”Dongzi ge.” He Kexin politely greeted Mu Dong and smiled at Xia Mu. She did not know who Xia Mu was.
”Is that Caixin, Uncle He's daughter, or is she studying?” Mu Dongdong whispered to Xia Mu as he waited for He Kexin to enter the house.
”It's a very pretty little girl.” Xia Mu said with a smile.
Mu Dongfang raised an eyebrow and asked, ”Just a second or two ago, did you see how beautiful she was?”
Xia Mu shrugged and replied playfully, ”Sir Mu, have you never heard of such a thing?”
”What do you mean?” Mu Dong asked with interest.
”As the saying goes, if she can even make the school uniform look so beautiful, then she must be a beauty!”
Mu Dongdong raised his hand and smacked Xia Mu on the forehead, saying, ”Where did this nonsense come from!”
Xia Mu bared his teeth and protested, ”Don't hit my forehead!”
”Alright, I won't knock.” Mu Dongdong smiled as he patted Xia Mu's head.
”Don't even touch your head!” Xia Mu held onto Mu Dong's hand and ordered.
He Kacha changed his clothes and came out just in time to see Xia Mu holding onto Mu Dong's hand.
