From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1052 - 1048: Stubborn Mouth! (Second Update)
"Hmph, you say I talk too much, isn’t that you now? Just eat when there’s food for you!"
Old Mrs. Mu used the words Mr. Mu had scolded her with before, to now reprimand him.
This left Mr. Mu at a loss, but after all, Mr. Mu wasn’t like Old Mrs. Mu.
Even if he was upset, he wouldn’t start scolding nonstop.
Picking up a dumpling and taking a bite, Mr. Mu’s expression changed instantly.
"This dumpling is delicious!" he said.
Old Mrs. Mu also started to eat, and afterward, her feelings were similar to Mr. Mu’s.
However, she didn’t like the third branch people, so she wouldn’t praise them.
Instead, she said sourly, "It’s just okay! What good stuff can the third branch make? Just a mess, only we would eat it!"
Mr. Mu disagreed with Old Mrs. Mu, but to avoid unnecessary quarrels, he remained silent and allowed Old Mrs. Mu to mutter on her own.
After finishing one dumpling, Mr. Mu couldn’t wait to take the second one, but Old Mrs. Mu snatched it first.
The remaining two dumplings were all taken by Old Mrs. Mu.
"You’ve already had one, the rest are for Xiangxiang, she hasn’t had any dumplings yet!" said Old Mrs. Mu.
Mr. Mu looked longingly at the dumplings in Old Mrs. Mu’s hand, swallowing hard, the attraction of the dumplings was truly great.
But as an elder, he couldn’t fight for food with the daughter, that would be embarrassing to mention.
So, Mr. Mu took one last look at the dumplings on the table and turned away with difficulty.
Holding the dumplings, Old Mrs. Mu went straight to Mu Xiangxiang, and the two dumplings were finished by Mu Xiangxiang.
She licked her fingers, still wanting more, and asked Old Mrs. Mu, "Mom, are there any more? I want more!"
Old Mrs. Mu stroked Mu Xiangxiang’s hair: "Our Xiangxiang wants to eat, but you’ll have to wait until night."
Mu Xiangxiang was a bit disappointed, drooling as she looked at the discarded dumpling leaves on the floor.
"Mom, who made those dumplings? Why are they so delicious? I’ve never had such tasty dumplings, and with meat filling too!"
"The third branch’s, must be that little brat who made them!"
Old Mrs. Mu knew Yu Si Niang’s skills well, and these were definitely not made by her.
However, she didn’t mention this to Mr. Mu earlier.
"Oh, if I had known it was her, I wouldn’t have eaten them!" Mu Xiangxiang muttered, clearly a bit unhappy.
Yet the taste of the meat dumplings kept making her crave more.
She got up and took some snacks from her wardrobe and started eating.
"Oh right, Mom, remember to have my second sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law make the same dumplings, plain ones aren’t as good!"
"Alright, whatever you say, Mom listens to you!" Old Mrs. Mu doted on Mu Xiangxiang.
"Thank you, Mom!"
Old Mrs. Mu watched Mu Xiangxiang eat happily, feeling joyful in her heart. Suddenly, she remembered that tomorrow was her daughter’s big day.
She wondered if her daughter understood the things she had mentioned before.
So Old Mrs. Mu reminded Mu Xiangxiang again.
"Xiangxiang, tomorrow is your big wedding day, do you remember what Mom told you before?"
"You’ll have to get up early, we’ll put on your makeup, and also dress you in the wedding gown..."
Seeing Old Mrs. Mu getting more and more in-depth, Mu Xiangxiang impatiently interrupted.
"Enough, I know. If you don’t have anything else, you can leave, I still have things to eat!"
Old Mrs. Mu nodded with a smile and then left Mu Xiangxiang’s room.
Mu Shuangshuang sent dumplings to the Old Mu Family and also delivered some to Zhang Yutou, Zhao Gouzi, Wang Fugui’s families, as well as Zhang Huai Shu and Fu Wu’s families.
Everyone wanted to keep Mu Shuangshuang for a meal, but she declined.
She hadn’t yet sent to Luo Bai and Mu Dalang.
Luo Bai’s side was easy to handle, Mu Shuangshuang brought dumplings and cured meat, even leaving a few salted duck eggs.
Luo Bai initially didn’t plan to return home for the holiday, but with so many things Mu Shuangshuang brought, he remembered he hadn’t returned home in a long time, and his old mother was on his mind, so he packed up and went back to Luohe Village.
With the village people’s dumplings delivered, only Mu Dalang and Huang Bitao from Tie Dao Village were left.
Hand in hand, Mu Shuangshuang soon arrived at Tie Dao Village.
It’s certain that there were dumplings at Ge Sandan’s house, so Mu Shuangshuang didn’t stop there. Passing by the Ge Family, she and Lu Yuanfeng went straight to Mu Dalang’s house.
As they approached Mu Dalang’s house, the sound of big and little pigs from the pig farm echoed in their ears.
The mix of loud and small sounds was surprisingly rhythmic.
Mu Shuangshuang walked to the yard and happened to see Huang Bitao coming out to feed the pigs.
Seeing Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, Huang Bitao was so surprised that the bucket of pig feed dropped to the ground.
She ran up to them.
"Shuangshuang, Fengzi, why are you here?"
"To spend the holiday with you! Sister-in-law, these are dumplings, realgar wine, a little mugwort, and wormwood, and a bit of cured meat that Fengzi and I brought over," Mu Shuangshuang said with a smile.
These were all added by Yu Si Niang, saying that since Mu Dalang and Huang Bitao lived in another village, they might not find it convenient to eat.
The third branch happened to have these things, so giving them to the two kids would be a nice treat.
Listening to Yu Si Niang, Mu Shuangshuang doubled everything, fearing the couple wouldn’t have enough to eat or not eat well!
Once the gate was open, Huang Bitao led the two in, leaving the pig feed unattended as she called for Mu Dalang in the back.
Today was Dragon Boat Festival, but neither Mu Dalang nor Huang Bitao rested.
Huang Bitao did laundry, cooked, and fed the pigs, while Mu Dalang cleaned pig waste from the pigpen and replaced it with clean straw.
If Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng hadn’t come over, they probably would be working all day.
After a while, Mu Dalang finally appeared from the back yard.
He was dirty, a clear sign he just came from the pigpen.
After greeting Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Dalang fetched a bucket of water from the kitchen and took a bath in the backyard, emerging clean and tidy to join Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.
Mu Dalang’s house was purchased from someone else, truly spacious, with three rooms, one main room, a kitchen, and a dining room.
It was much more comfortable for everyone to gather than it would be in one of the third branch’s tiny rooms.
"Shuangshuang, why did you come? I almost forgot today was the Dragon Boat Festival!"
After some time apart, Mu Dalang had matured significantly.
He had also grown stronger.
But his way of speaking remained the same, notably gentle.
"That’s what I thought, so Fengzi and I came to remind you!" Mu Shuangshuang said half-jokingly.
Mu Dalang and Huang Bitao laughed along.
Huang Bitao took some dumplings inside and unwrapped the rest, putting them on a plate and handing out chopsticks to everyone.
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng both waved their hands.
"We’ve already eaten before coming, so we’ll pass!"
