70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman
Chapter 583: Comparison
Upon knowing the day Yin Yang would return, Xu Mumu started counting on her fingers.
The high school entrance exam was getting closer for the kids at home, even Li Caixia was anxious, watching the kids study every day. She wanted to say something, but ended up saying nothing and kept quiet obediently.
Xu Minghui and Jiang Yuxiu were increasingly busy, running around every day, and business at the supermarket was also quite good.
Xu Mumu went to the village twice more, and finally didn’t run into Song Jiayan again, which made Xu Mumu feel completely relaxed.
Xu Mumu heard from Liu Cuixia that Song Jiayan’s days were getting harder; Zhao Dashan finally started to keep her under control, no longer letting her go out and making her do a lot of chores at home every day.
Xu Mumu heard it in passing and didn’t bother with these matters anymore.
As the high school entrance exam approached, watching the kids work harder and harder, Xu Mumu felt a bit heartbroken.
With only a week left before the exam, the kids didn’t dare to relax one bit, they didn’t even go home during the monthly break but stayed at Xu Mumu’s place to study instead.
With Xu Mumu at home, the kids asked her many questions about the things they didn’t quite understand, just in case those topics came up in the exam.
During the days of studying, time always seemed to fly by quickly.
Yin Yang, dusty from travel, walked in and tightly hugged his little wife upon seeing her. He had long wanted to hug his little wife just like this.
"Wife, I missed you so much." Yin Yang said earnestly while hugging Xu Mumu.
"I missed you too." Xu Mumu’s eyes felt a bit sore, seeing the dark circles under Yin Yang’s eyes, she knew he must have been very tired lately.
"Madam Chun prepared some hot water, go wash up and then rest well, you’ve got dark circles." Xu Mumu said with concern, gently touching Yin Yang’s cheek.
"Sleep with me." Yin Yang said softly.
"Okay." Xu Mumu smiled as she spoke.
Yin Yang quickly took a shower, and Xu Mumu brought out the food she had prepared earlier and placed it in front of Yin Yang.
Yin Yang ate quickly. Although he had eaten good food outside, he still preferred the taste at home. With his little wife accompanying him, the food was even more delicious.
"Where’s Doudou?" Yin Yang asked curiously while eating.
"He went out with Grandpa." Xu Mumu said helplessly. Professor Song had taken the little one out early, knowing Yin Yang was returning today. They said they wanted to give them some private time together.
Professor Jian even hinted that when Doudou turns one or two, they should have another child, so he and Professor Song could each take care of one.
Xu Mumu shared the fun stories that happened at home during this time, and Yin Yang cooperatively asked about them, some of which were stories Xu Mumu had told him over the phone, but he listened patiently.
After dinner, Yin Yang felt comfortable. Though Xu Mumu wasn’t sleepy, seeing Yin Yang doze off, she let him hold her.
Yin Yang, despite not having a superpower, was quite alert, given his past training. If she moved a bit, he would likely wake up.
Looking at the dark circles under Yin Yang’s eyes, Xu Mumu couldn’t help reaching out to gently caress them, wondering how many things he must have dealt with on this trip.
Yin Yang slept for a long time. By the time Professor Song and the others came back, Yin Yang had just woken up.
"It’s already dark." Looking at the outside, Yin Yang quickly became clear-headed.
"Yes, it’s almost time; Madam Chun is already preparing dinner." Xu Mumu lightly laughed as she spoke.
Yin Yang nodded and went outside, where the little one was playing in Professor Song’s arms.
"Grandpa, Sir Jian." Yin Yang greeted. Although he called home daily, he still missed them a lot.
"It’s good you’re back." Professor Song smiled and patted Yin Yang’s shoulder.
"Here, your son, hold him yourself." Professor Song, though a bit reluctant, placed Doudou in Yin Yang’s arms.
The little one probably didn’t remember his father, but still generously gave a big smile.
"Doudou." Seeing his son, Yin Yang kissed his cheek. The little one had gotten a bit heavier, making Yin Yang smile. Looking at the little guy, he thought that all his hard work was worth it, and he just wanted to bring all the best things to him.
"Why did you buy so many things again? Even if this house were big, it couldn’t handle you bringing so much stuff into it." Professor Song said, looking at the pile of things Yin Yang bought, which were mostly for the child. Apart from the children’s items, there were gifts for family and friends.
The two elders at home had prepared many things for them, and Professor Song and Professor Jian lacked none of these things. Seeing Yin Yang squander money like this made Professor Song a bit troubled.
"It’s fine, we’ll use it slowly. If we can’t use it all, we can give it away." Yin Yang said confidently. These things were nothing to him, and he wasn’t short on money. Taking over the Yin family’s business was simply to avoid letting outsiders benefit, and the estate and the phone and computer he was planning were because his little wife liked them.
"Spendthrift." Professor Song looked at his grandson dismissively.
"Grandpa, Sir Jian, come and try on the new clothes Yin Yang bought for you." Xu Mumu grinned as she brought out the new clothes. After enduring a few hard years following their demotion, Professor Song and the others had become quite frugal, instinctively storing away any good items they got. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
If Xu Mumu hadn’t suggested it, they would likely seldom wear these clothes and couldn’t bear to.
Of course, they gave Xu Mumu face, and Professor Song and the others quickly went to try on the clothes.
"Wow, Grandpa, you look amazing in these clothes, at least ten years younger. Yin Yang really has a good eye." Xu Mumu exaggeratedly praised when seeing Professor Song emerge in the new clothes.
"It’s not as exaggerated as you say." Professor Song couldn’t hold back a smile, feeling quite pleased, knowing his grandson was filial made him happy.
"Mumu, look at mine, doesn’t it look better than Old Song’s?" Professor Jian also came out in a new dark blue outfit, tugging at it and not forgetting to compare with Professor Song.
Xu Mumu’s lips twitched; she was used to such scenes. The two old men compared everything, even the clothes they picked for the little one, competing over whose choice looked better and which one the little one preferred.
Yin Yang also twitched his lips as he watched from the side. His grandfather and great-uncle were definitely getting more childish with age.
