Chapter 1190: Sorry, Didn't Scare You, Did I?
Liu Chuxue had no idea Chunxiao could be so utterly deranged as to lay hands on such a tiny nephew; at this moment, she and Fu Yan Cheng were carrying things, preparing to visit her in-laws.
By all rights, upon returning and learning their mother had given birth, they should have gone there first.
But thinking that once there, Xiao Mu would likely continue to brainwash her, she felt a headache coming on and decisively chose to return tomorrow.
Just as the two were about to step out, Du Juan arrived: "Cousin, you're back."
Liu Chuxue smiled: "Oh dear, I forgot to ask Engineer Zhou to pass a message to you."
Du Juan laughed: "I knew you were back. I just thought you might have gone to my aunt's, so I came over first to feed Zhuifeng."
At this, the tethered Zhuifeng heard its name, stood up, stretched, and wagged its tail toward them.
Du Juan had grown familiar with Zhuifeng during this time; seeing it like this, she immediately ran over: "Zhuifeng, your master is back. My duty to feed you is over, but I'll come see you when I have time."
As she spoke, she reached out and rubbed the dog's head.
Only then did Du Juan notice the things in their hands: "Are you two going out?"
Realizing something: "Are you going to see little cousin?"
Liu Chuxue shook her head: "It's too late today, so we won't go; we're just preparing to head to my in-laws'."
Hearing her cousin's words, Du Juan nodded: "True. I heard the factory gave you four days off. Rest well tonight; it's not too late to go see Shi Tou tomorrow."
Hearing the two words 'Shi Tou', Liu Chuxue asked: "They gave him a nickname?"
Du Juan nodded with a smile: "Yes. Aunt and Uncle said children need a sturdy nickname to grow up strong. But I think Shi Tou sounds quite nice. Oh, right, the formal name is set too: Xiao Wanheng. Sounds good, right?"
Hearing this formal name, Liu Chuxue thought it was ordinary from a future perspective: "Did you register the household?"
Du Juan 'mm-hmm'd twice: "My uncle took leave the day before yesterday to register the household."
Liu Chuxue understood inwardly: not having a son had been a thorn in their hearts. Though they later resigned themselves to it, now that they had one, naturally they wanted to register him immediately.
Only then would they feel at ease in their hearts; it was understandable.
Du Juan was perceptive: "Cousin, Brother-in-law, since you're going out, I'll head back too."
As she spoke, she handed the key to Liu Chuxue: "Cousin, here's your key back."
Liu Chuxue smiled and accepted it: "Wait a moment. I brought some specialties from the south. I was planning to bring them to you tomorrow, but since you're here, you can take them back and try them."
Du Juan was a foodie and naturally wouldn't refuse: "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Cousin."
She didn't follow them inside; instead, she squatted beside Zhuifeng, constantly stroking its fur.
Before long, Liu Chuxue came out carrying a small cloth bag: "These can be eaten right away; take them back first. As for the dried seafood, I'll call you over to my home when I cook them, otherwise I can't just give them to you to eat."
Du Juan smiled and reached out to take it: "Then I won't delay you; I'm leaving first."
Having spoken, she raised the cloth bag in her hand: "Thanks."
After Du Juan left, the two wasted no more time and, carrying their prepared things, headed toward the Fu family.
As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they saw a Miss sitting there; but upon seeing them enter, the Miss panicked and ran into the house: "Bad people!"
Liu Chuxue looked at Fu Yan Cheng: What's going on?
But the answer came immediately: "Rongrong, be good. The bad people were beaten away. They aren't bad people. Be good now, don't be afraid."
Hearing these words, Liu Chuxue already had a guess in her heart.
She glanced at Fu Yan Cheng and was just about to head toward the main house when someone walked out from the side room: "Sorry, didn't we scare you?"
