Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 99 Note
Early in the morning of September 9, Lao Guang went out to prepare the ingredients for making mooncakes. His father asked him to arrange for everyone to buy them together, but Lao Guang always did it himself. It took him a whole day to buy everything, mainly because the oven was difficult to buy and he couldn't find it after going to many places.

On September 9, everyone started working enthusiastically. It was the first time for everyone, and problems kept happening. The old lady couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to do it herself. "Old lady, stop messing around. Go out and watch TV. We'll call you when we're done." A Yao sent the old lady away.

"Have you prepared your notes?" Kang Qirui asked in a low voice after Old Dou's mother left.

Everyone nodded, took out the notes they had written, and stuffed them into the mooncakes they had made. A Yao also reminded everyone, "Remember yours, don't take the wrong one when the time comes."

It took until 3pm. The boss bought so many ingredients that he made more than 200 pieces. Seeing that everyone was exhausted, the old lady asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest. The two of them would do the baking. Everyone was really exhausted, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

After about an hour, the old man's mother shouted, "The mooncakes are ready, come out quickly." When Kang Qirui got up and went to the dining room, he saw the old man wrapping the mooncakes with oil paper and making them into rolls. They made too many mooncakes, so they wanted to give them to the neighbors to try.

"Hey, why are they all messed up?" Kang Qirui looked at the mooncakes on the table. After they were baked, he couldn't recognize which one he had put the note on. "I don't know either. Daddy is the one who watches the oven." Da Lao Guang said.

"Oh, uncle, you have messed things up. We are separate." The second brother was anxious.

My father didn't understand at all and asked in confusion: "What's the confusion? All mooncakes are the same, what's the difference?"

"Dad, do you know what's inside?" The anxious second brother almost told the secret, and the second sister-in-law quickly patted him to stop talking. The eldest brother looked carefully and really found the mooncake where he had put the note. He took it out and handed it to the old man, "Dad, eat one first while it's fresh and hot."

"It's so late, it's time to prepare cooking and eating. Let's save it for dinner." said the old man with a smile.

"Dad, this is made with our hearts, please try it." Xianglan persuaded, playing the emotional card. The mother also persuaded: "Eat it, and satisfy the children's wishes."

The old man took the mooncake, broke it open and wanted to give half to the mother, but he saw the note inside. He took it out and said, "You bad boys, learn the tricks your old man used to seduce your mother."

"Hahahahahaha, read it to me." The big man's face was full of smiles.

The nanny spread out the note and read, "I wish you good health and a long life." After she finished reading, everyone applauded enthusiastically and the atmosphere suddenly became very warm.

"Mom, this mooncake is given to you by Xianglan and I." Da Laoguang said honestly. Xianglan was more emotionally intelligent, "Mom, this is the wish of me and everyone else, and we all give it to you two together."

After giving the mooncakes to Lao Dou's wife, everyone started looking for their own mooncake. After a while, everyone found the mooncake they thought they made and took it in their hands. "Wife, one night of marriage is worth a hundred days of love. Giving a mooncake is a favor to cousins." The second brother stuffed the mooncake in his hand to the second sister-in-law.

After the second sister-in-law sweetly took it, she also handed the mooncake she was holding in her hand to the second brother, "Thank you, A-Mao, for the cake. I'll give you one too." The second brother took it with a smile and did not forget to retort, "Thank you, silly woman, for the cake." The second brother and his sister-in-law are a loving couple.

After Er Lao and his wife exchanged mooncakes, A Yao, Xing Zi, Kang Qi Rui and Zhu Wan Ling also gave each other their mooncakes. Er Lao couldn't wait to break open the mooncake in his hand and took out the note, "Let me see what my wife wrote to me first." Everyone looked at Er Lao with curiosity.

"No way?" The second brother unfolded the note and looked at his second sister-in-law in surprise, and continued to read: "Look up at the bright moon, and look down to think about having a child? Wife, if we have another child, we will have more children." The eldest brother Guang quickly snatched it away, "This is mine, mine."

"Yours?" Everyone knew that Da Lao Guang was eager to have a child. But the mooncake in Er Lao's hand belonged to Da Lao Guang, so whose mooncake was in Xiang Lan's hand? Xiang Lan broke the mooncake and took out the note, reading: "I am your wife and also your mistress."

I understand. It was written by the second sister-in-law to the second brother. "Really, wife? You've been a mistress, can you give me a way out?" The second brother joked. "So that you don't look at other women." The second sister-in-law was flirting with the second brother again.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, it's my turn." Da Lao Guang broke the mooncake and took out the note and read: "I hope you can learn from Da Lao Guang, talk less and do more, work day and night, work hard, and forget it even if you die." While Da Lao Guang was reading, Er Lao was laughing crazily beside him. This was written for Er Lao Guang, who was so angry that she stood up and wanted to hit him. A Yao quickly stopped him, "It's my turn, it's my turn." He spread out the note and read: "I lie in your arms, listening to your snoring, it's so comfortable" Xianglan shyly snatched it back. Kang Qirui has never understood why Da Lao Guang and Xianglan are so loving, but they don't have children yet?

"Here's one too." The second sister-in-law opened the mooncake in her hand, held the note and said, "This is the lyrics. I'm waiting for you to come back, waiting for you to come back. Who wrote this?"

A Yao raised his hand and said embarrassedly: "I wrote it. I wrote it to Sachiko." Sachiko was confused, "Ah? What does this mean?" She didn't understand what A Yao meant by this. Wasn't she here?
A Yao hesitated and said frankly, "You work too hard. You have to be away from home for half a month on business trips. I am just waiting for you to come back, waiting for you to come back." Sachiko glared at A Yao and shook her head helplessly, stuffing the mooncake in her hand to A Yao, "Look for yourself."

She had just seen that the mooncake that Ayao gave her was exactly the one she had slipped the note into. Ayao opened it and saw, "After this busy month, I will stay with you every day from now on." In fact, Sachiko had long discovered that Ayao was unhappy about her frequent business trips. That was why she had been on frequent business trips in the past two months, just to finish all the business trips, so that she could stay at home with Ayao as much as she wanted.

Regardless of A Yao's silly smile, Kang Qirui opened the mooncake in his hand and said, "When the mountains are gone, and the rivers are dry. Thunder roars in winter, and snow falls in summer. Only when heaven and earth unite, will I dare to part with you." Zhu Wanling next to him looked at Kang Qirui sweetly. This was written by her for Kang Qirui. It was a classic line from a drama they both liked to watch, representing the wife's endless love for her husband.

"Wow, that's so corny, Wanling, come and see what our Master Rui wrote to you." The second sister-in-law knew how to watch the fun, so she joined in the fun.

"Wife, I love you. Mother and daughter are safe, healthy and happy." Zhu Wanling read out the words Kang Qirui wrote to her. The main point of Kang Qirui's words was his direct and true nature.

"Are the mother and daughter safe?" The mother was very good at grasping key words. "Arui Wanling, have you been to see them? Is it a daughter? I have a granddaughter?" The mother was very happy. She really wanted to have a granddaughter. She usually liked Chibi Maruko-chan very much, but no matter how much she liked her, she was not her own.

Zhu Wanling nodded, "Yes, Dr. Liang told me during my last prenatal check-up." Upon hearing the definite answer, his father was very happy. With a house full of men, he just wanted a granddaughter.

一个冷知识，严禁利用超声技术和其他技术手段进行非医学需要的胎儿性别鉴定是2001年12月29日通过、2003年1月1日开始、2016年5月1日全面实行的。现在才2001年9月23日，所以康祈睿祝婉玲是可以询问医生胎儿的性别的，而医生把胎儿性别告知他们也是属于合法行为的。

Everyone looked at theirs, leaving only Yumi and Azu's. "I won't look at mine." Yumi took her mooncake and ran away. "Look at mine," Azu said excitedly.

But after he opened the mooncake, he didn't see the note. He anxiously picked up the mooncakes on the table and started to open them one by one, "You poor boy, who will eat them after they are all opened?" The old man pushed A Zu away and stopped him from opening them. He picked up a tube of wrapped mooncakes and handed it to Kang Qirui, "A Rui, this tube is the neatest, you can take it to honor your mother-in-law."

"Okay, wait until after dinner, I'll take it over tonight." Kang Qirui agreed. It was already past five o'clock, and Sister Jiao had come over to start cooking dinner. The mother took a tube of mooncakes into the kitchen, "Jiao, these are the mooncakes we made ourselves, take them back for the children. There are still a lot outside, come back and get more if you don't have enough."

"Okay, okay, thank you Aunt Kang." Sister Jiao took the mooncake and put it aside and continued to work.

After dinner, Kang Qirui took the mooncakes and went out to the Zhu family next door. "Mom, my dad asked me to give you some mooncakes. He made them himself." Kang Qirui said this to ease the relationship between his dad and Mrs. Zhu.

"Yeah? It's still hot. It's so rare that your father cares about me, please thank him on my behalf." Mrs. Zhu said with a smile, "You're welcome, let me try it first." She opened the oil paper, took out a mooncake and started eating.

"Huh?" She spat out a piece of paper while eating, "Why is there a note?"

Kang Qirui walked over and took a look, then he understood, "Oh, when we were making mooncakes, we slipped a note in there ourselves, thinking that the mooncakes could convey our feelings, hahaha. We just said that we couldn't find the one Grandpa wrote, it turns out it's here."

"Written by A-Zu? Let me see." Mrs. Zhu opened the note and started reading. "Do you know I'm waiting for you? A-Rui, who is A-Zu waiting for? Does he have a new girlfriend?" Mrs. Zhu looked gossipy.

"I don't know either. I'll go back and ask him. I'm leaving first." Kang Qirui said and went back. He thought that this note was probably not from A-Zu, but from Yumei. As for who Yumei was waiting for? It wasn't hard to guess.
