The cargo compartment was filled with cloth, food and other things brought home. Three people and a cat happily crowded under the shed talking and laughing - of course, it was Mu Yunhan and his brother who talked, and Gu Fenglin listened.
The weather was too hot, so Mu Yunhan would hand water to Gu Fenglin and Mu An from time to time, and would fan him or Mu An with a cattail leaf fan.
Gu Fenglin smiled and took away her cattail leaf fan and told her to stop being busy.
Mu Yunhan grabbed it back and slapped him persistently.
The experience in the Gao family has invisibly shortened the distance between them, making them more relaxed and comfortable getting along with each other.
Mu An looked at Gu Fenglin and then at Mu Yunhan, grinning.
It was already dark when we returned to Shoushan Town. Mu An jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door: "Mom, we are back!"
There was a sound of dogs barking in the yard, and Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Gu came to open the door together, and said in surprise: "I thought you wouldn't come back today, and I didn't send a message to say that I would cook for you."
Mu Yunhan said: "I just came back after finishing my work. I didn't meet anyone suitable to send a message."
Mu Ying stretched her neck and looked at the car: "I bought so many things!"
Old Man Gu smiled and rubbed her head: "Yes, come and help get the things."
A group of people were unloading the goods in a lively manner. Gu Fenglin wanted to help, but Mrs. Gu pulled him in: "Go and rest quickly, don't get sick."
Mu Yunhan said: "It's just that it's too hot today. I was worried that the young master would suffer from heatstroke along the way."
There was a sound at the door of Zhao Lizheng's house next door. Mu Yunhan turned around and saw someone sticking his head in, and quickly closed the door.
She paid no attention to it, and chatted with Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Gu with a smile. Mu An was even more excited, chattering non-stop: "The county is so big! There are so many people, so many delicious food, and fun things..."
There was a loud "clang" sound next door, like the sound of a copper basin hitting the ground.
Then Mrs. Zhao's sharp voice rang out: "You're short-lived, it's midnight, it makes people uneasy... What are you making such a fuss about? I really thought you were the princess's fate..."
The joyful atmosphere stagnated, and Goddess Gu shouted loudly: "You are short-lived, and you can't live in peace until midnight. Why are you making such a fuss? You must know that God's eyes are open!"
There was silence for a moment, and then Mrs. Zhao said loudly: "Grandma Gu, what do you mean? This damn girl Jasmine knocked over the basin, I am teaching her a lesson!"
Gu Shenpo said: "Ms. Li Zheng, I don't mean anything. This beast, the black dog, keeps barking and making a lot of noise. I'm trying to teach the beast a lesson!"
Madam Zhao was speechless for a moment, and Mu Yunhan could feel her endless anger of frustration through the wall.
Zhao Li was acting as a peacemaker: "Okay, okay, let's go to bed."
When the room next door became quiet, Mrs. Gu rushed Mu Yunhan to take a rest: "Go and take care of Feng Lin. Your mother and I will just cook!"
Mu An and Mu Ying gathered together to whisper and share delicious and fun things.
Old man Gu took the carriage home and planned to come over for dinner after unloading the goods.
Mu Yunhan and Gu Fenglin sat under the dim oil lamp. They had nothing to say for a while, their eyes widened and they both laughed.
Mu Yunhan found a new wooden basin and handkerchief. He was afraid that the cold water would irritate him, so he specially mixed it with warm water: "Master, wash your face."
Gu Fenglin touched the warm water and raised his eyes to look at Mu Yunhan who was standing aside. She walked in and out, poured water for him, found a fan, and greeted fat cats and dogs. She was very busy.
He looked at the pale moonlight in the sky, his eyes sparkling. (To be continued)
