Accidentally entered a high gate

On Sunday, Mu Pingchuan came to find Hongxia again after breakfast.

After chatting with Xiao Zhilan for a while, Mu Pingchuan looked over at Tian Erya. "Great-Grandma, what chores are there today?"

"There's no work today, you two go out and have some fun." The kid is honest, so she should treat him well too.

"Great-Grandma, please give me some work. I feel bad about freeloading if you don't. I plan to stay until after dinner." Great-Grandma and her family run traditional businesses like restaurants and small shops. How could they not have work?

"Hahahaha..." Tian Erya was amused by him. "Alright, alright. When you come back this afternoon, go to the wholesale market to buy some seasonings for Great-Grandma. There are a few kinds of seasonings that are running low."

"Alright! Great-grandmother, great-grandfather, maternal grandmother, maternal grandfather, eldest uncle, eldest aunt, second uncle, second aunt, younger brother and sister, we're going out." Zheng Chunying went to Shenzhen, and Sun Yaoguang left before he arrived.

Tian Erya: "Go ahead."

Xiao Zhilan: "Goodbye, Brother Mu! You look so handsome today, Brother Mu!"

"You look beautiful today too. I'll buy you something delicious when Brother Mu comes back."

"Thank you, Brother Mu."

Mu Pingchuan patted Xiao Zhilan's head and then went out on a date with Hongxia.

As soon as Mu Pingchuan and Hongxia left, Zheng Jianhua picked up Xiao Zhilan. "Zheng Zhilan, who did you learn this from?"

Xiao Zhilan blinked. "Learn what?"

"Beautiful!"

Xiao Zhilan understood. "I learned it from the TV."

Zheng Jianhua: "..." A television set?

"I heard people on TV saying 'handsome boy' and 'pretty girl,' so I asked my aunt what it meant. My aunt said 'handsome' means pretty. 'Boy' means boy, and 'girl' means girl."

Zheng Jianhua: "..." You're quite good at finding people.

"Mmm-hmm." Little Zhilan nodded while saying "Mmm-hmm." Although Little Zhilan didn't know how the standards were different now compared to the past, she knew that her great-grandmother was helping her.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone was amused by Xiao Zhilan.

Zheng Jianhua thought about it and agreed.

Zheng Jianhua pinched his daughter's chubby cheeks. "Do you know what your great-grandmother meant by 'uh-huh'?"

"Hehe... No matter what Great-Grandma says, I think she's right."

"If your great-grandmother said you were a little rascal, would you agree with her?"

"Hmm!" Her great-grandmother would never call her a little rascal; her great-grandmother was very good to her. "Great-grandmother, my dad said bad things about you."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone was amused by Xiao Zhilan again.

After laughing for a while, everyone got busy.

Zheng Xinhua and Wen Nianhe, Zheng Jianhua and Qin Huimin, Zheng Chunying's other four children, Zheng Xinhua and Wen Nianhe's three children, and Xiao Zhilan all help Tian Erya and the others with their work.

Meanwhile, Mu Pingchuan and Hongxia spent the morning playing in the park, then went to the cinema to watch a movie, and then went to the wholesale market to buy seasonings.

As they approached the wholesale market, Mu Pingchuan suddenly whispered, "Someone's following us."

Upon hearing this, Hongxia immediately took a step closer to Mu Pingchuan. They were already walking side-by-side; taking another step brought them even closer. "Tell me, do you think they want to kidnap me? Or do they want to kidnap you?"

Mu Pingchuan replied in a low voice, "It's more likely that they kidnapped you. However, I don't think the people following us want to kidnap us."

Hongxia thought about it and agreed. "You're right. This is Beijing."

"Hmm. It'll be hard to escape if we tie someone up here. I remember there's a road ahead that leads back. Shall we go back and see who's following us?"

"it is good."

Beijing is a big city, and there's a wholesale market nearby. Mu Pingchuan had also trained with the army, so he quickly led Hongxia to get behind the people following them.

The people following them saw that they had suddenly disappeared and assumed that they had gone to a secluded place to be lovey-dovey.

The people following them immediately headed towards a nearby alley. "Hirakawa! Hirakawa! Hirakawa!"

Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she knew Mu Pingchuan's name. "Do you know her?"

"Yes, I know her. She's my aunt."

Hongxia was completely relieved. "Aren't you going to call her?"

"Call out." If he didn't, who knows where his aunt would hide? "Auntie, I'm here!"

Aunt Mu paused for a moment, startled, before turning around when she heard Mu Pingchuan's voice coming from behind her. "Weren't you in front of me?"

Mu Pingchuan pulled Hongxia to his aunt's side and said with a smile, "I noticed someone was following me, so I went around to the back to see who was following me. Aunt, this is my girlfriend. My girlfriend is from Peking University. My girlfriend's surname is Sun, and her name is Hongxia. Hongxia, this is my aunt."

Hongxia smiled at Aunt Mu. "Hello!"

She's not doing well at all! "Hello! Are you going to the wholesale market up ahead to buy something? You should hurry up. Pingchuan, your aunt needs to talk to you about something."

Hongxia: "..." It seems Pingchuan's aunt doesn't think much of her. "Okay. You guys get back to work."

Mu Pingchuan: "..." Does his aunt look down on Hongxia? Or does she want to know more about Hongxia's situation?

After Hongxia finished speaking, she tried to pull her hand away.

Mu Pingchuan didn't let go. "Auntie, I'll take my girlfriend home first and then come find you."

"No way!" If this girl sees that she doesn't agree to anything happening between her and her nephew, they'll be in a passive position! "Your aunt needs to see you urgently."

Mu Pingchuan: "..." What urgent matter could his aunt possibly have? "Aunt, our relationship is approved by both our families."

With the consent of both sets of parents?! "Who is your father?"

My dad is a businessman.

"Which unit did your father work for before?" After the reform and opening up, some people saw that doing business was profitable and went into business.

My father used to be a farmer.

Aunt Mu: "..." She immediately suspected this girl was from the countryside! She has a sharp eye! "Your father is quite bold. Do you know who Pingchuan's grandfather is?"

"I know. I had dinner at their house. Grandpa Mu, Grandma Mu, Uncle Mu, and Aunt Mu gave me four red envelopes."

Give me a red envelope back!

Are her parents old...? It's one thing if her parents agree, but why do her younger brother and his wife agree too? "Oh? Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Hongxia: "..." Is this person afraid she'll molest her nephew? "Okay."

Mu Pingchuan: "..." He had already said that his grandparents, parents, and even his father all agreed, so why did his aunt still want to come with him? "Aunt, aren't you usually quite busy?"

"Auntie isn't busy today. Let's go."

Mu Pingchuan: "..." Don't follow me if you're not busy! I'm on a date with my girlfriend!

Mu Pingchuan originally planned to have dinner at the Zheng family's house before returning to school with Hongxia. However, his aunt insisted on coming with him.

Mu Pingchuan could only help Hongxia carry the seasonings to the door before following his aunt. "Aunt, can you go and do your work now?"

"Your aunt will take you to school. Your aunt is free today. Your aunt wants to chat with you a little longer."

Mu Pingchuan: "..." Are you trying to stare at me? Or do you want to chat with me a little longer? "Okay. Aunt, what do you want to talk about?"

"Let's talk about where you want to intern. You should be doing an internship next semester."

……

Aunt Mu watched Mu Pingchuan enter the dormitory before leaving.

Grandpa Mu, Grandma Mu, Dad Mu, and Mom Mu were about to have dinner when Aunt Mu suddenly arrived.

Grandma Mu first told the housekeeper to add an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl, and then asked, "Why are you here at this hour?"

Aunt Mu put down her bag, washed her hands, and sat down opposite Mr. and Mrs. Mu. Looking at Mrs. Mu, she said, "I ran into Pingchuan and his girlfriend this afternoon. Do you know what his parents do?"

Mr. Mu: "I know. Her parents are in business?"

"So you still agree? Section Chief Qi from our unit asked me the other day if Pingchuan had a girlfriend. Although Section Chief Qi's daughter isn't from Peking University, she's still a college student. Are you driven to desperation by Pingchuan's behavior? Or... or are you being pressured by his parents?"

Grandpa Mu: "..." He's not Old Ma! "I didn't force them."

Grandma Mu: "..." She shouldn't have asked Xiao Liu to add another set of chopsticks and a bowl! "I didn't force them."

As soon as Grandma Mu finished speaking, Aunt Mu said, "So you're just helpless because Pingchuan is causing trouble. Are you only putting pressure on Pingchuan and not on that little girl? Let me tell you, you should be putting pressure on that little girl. If you're worried that Pingchuan will blame you if he finds out, I'll stand up for you."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Mu quickly said, "No need, no need, we like Xiao Sun very much, Xiao Sun is very good."

Mother Mu: "Yes, yes!"

Aunt Mu: "..." Why are these two reacting like this? Are they possessed? "Is Pingchuan on a hunger strike?"

The couple: "No."

"Then why are you reacting like this?"

The couple: "..."

The couple was too embarrassed to say they wanted to find a wealthy in-law family. So…

The couple exchanged a glance and said at the same time, "She is Ma Xiaosan's niece."

"Don't try to fool me. I've seen Ma Xiaosan's niece before, haven't I?"

Seeing that she only reminded the couple of Ma Lilan and Ma Lijin's children, the couple changed their story. "She is the child of Ma Xiaosan's husband's older sister."

Aunt Mu: "..." Ma Xiaosan's lover's older sister's child? Ma Xiaosan and his lover have such a good relationship... what if his lover complains to him... "Is her mother Ma Xiaosan's lover's older sister?"

The couple: "Mmm."

Aunt Mu: "..." Thankfully, she didn't scold that little girl this afternoon. "Well? It's getting late, I should go home. I'm leaving, you guys eat."

After saying that, Aunt Mu took her bag and left.

Grandpa Mu: "..." Didn't you look down on her? Why don't you persist?

Grandma Mu: "..." Aren't you going to go after them? Why don't you go ahead and do it?

Mu's parents: "..." *Sigh*
