Mishel watched Liu Yuxuan standing on the table, speaking and gesturing with his arms, feeling very proud. Looking at the people below who were listening to him, she could see the admiration and gratitude in their eyes. This is the man I chose.
She realized there were still many things about Liu Yuxuan that she didn't know, and there was still much to discover. However, Liu Yuxuan's family had too many relatives. Was the whole village one big family?
Well, Mishel was thoroughly confused by the family relationships in the northeastern countryside.
While Mishel was thinking, she felt someone tugging at her arm. Turning her head, she saw Fangfang holding a little fox.
"Aunt Mishel, people have been calling you for a long time," Fangfang pouted.
Mishel, who liked the mischievous Fangfang, picked her up and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "Auntie was just thinking about something and didn't see the cute Fangfang. What's up, Fangfang?"
Fangfang, who had been kissed by Mishel, immediately became happy, "Aunt Mishel, when will you and Uncle have a baby?"
It turned out that Fangfang had been with her grandmother, who was introducing Mishel to the villagers. Many people skipped over the marriage part and directly asked when they would have a baby. In their minds, Liu Yuxuan was such a good son-in-law that he was hard to find even with a lantern.
Fangfang had heard this and immediately came to ask Mishel.
Mishel was caught off guard by Fangfang's sudden question and blushed. How could they have a baby so soon? They had just started their relationship, and Yuxuan hadn't even proposed yet. Why was she thinking about a proposal? Was she really that eager to marry Yuxuan?
Fangfang was confused. Why was Aunt Mishel ignoring her? "Aunt Mishel, you haven't answered me yet."
Hearing Fangfang's voice, Mishel's thoughts finally returned to reality. She blushed and said, "Fangfang, um, it might take some time before we have a baby."
"More time? I thought you would have a baby in America to play with Fangfang," Fangfang seemed a bit disappointed that she couldn't play with a baby soon.
At this moment, a series of car horns sounded outside the yard.
Liu Yuxuan jumped down from the table, pushed through the crowd, and went outside. Sure enough, everyone was there. Wang Minghua, Liu Lin, Wang Yue, and Wang Tao. He wondered how these two groups had ended up together.
"Hey, how did you all end up together? Looks like I don't need to introduce you," Liu Yuxuan said.
"You're just being cheeky. We heard you were back, so we all decided to come over. We didn't expect to meet on the highway," Wang Minghua said.
Among the four, he had the highest status, though he didn't mind. But others couldn't ignore it. Only Liu Yuxuan could joke around like this.
"Xuanzi, you've really made it big, even in America," Wang Tao said, giving Liu Yuxuan a big hug.
Liu Yuxuan also patted Wang Tao's back hard.
"Brother Liu, Uncle Wang, come inside and sit down," Liu Yuxuan invited the group, then said to the villagers, "Everyone, go back for now. Don't forget, we'll have a party in the courtyard tonight."
Leading the four inside, he introduced Mishel to everyone.
"Brother Liu, how's the cooperation with Yunhai? If there are any issues, just tell him," Liu Yuxuan said, pouring a cup of tea for Liu Lin.
"The cooperation is going well. Yunhai is really good at business. He reminded me of many things I hadn't thought of," Liu Lin praised.
"By the way, how did you two meet?" Liu Yuxuan was still a bit confused.
"Through you, of course. I didn't expect you to grow so many melons. I couldn't handle them all, so I worked with Mr. Liu to sell the watermelons. Why didn't Yunhai tell you?" Wang Yue explained.
"Ah, I left all that to Yunhai. I just got back and haven't had time to ask yet," Liu Yuxuan said, a bit embarrassed.
"You don't know, this guy is just a hands-off boss. Look, he started it, but then left everything to us," Zhao Yan said, a bit resentfully.
"Alright, it's my fault. Don't leave tonight. The village will have a big feast, and I'll drink more to apologize to everyone," Liu Yuxuan said, trying to make amends.
"Yuxuan, did you commit a crime? You should call Charlie to defend you," Mishel, hearing Liu Yuxuan say he would apologize, thought he had committed a crime.
Everyone was initially stunned by Mishel's words, then burst out laughing.
Mishel realized she might have misunderstood something. "Yuxuan, did I say something wrong?"
"It's fine. They are all my good friends and won't mind," Liu Yuxuan reassured Mishel to prevent her from feeling guilty, then explained what he meant by apologizing.
"Oh, Chinese language, so profound," Mishel said, frustrated, which made everyone laugh even more, praising her as a beautiful and good girl.
"By the way, Wang Tao, how did you have time to come here today? Isn't work busy?" Liu Yuxuan turned to ask.
"Uncle told me you were back. I missed your departure, so I thought I should at least see you when you came back. I took two days off. If I don't take them now, I won't be able to at the end of the year," Wang Tao said with a smile.
In China, many companies work this way. If you don't take your annual leave, it's considered a contribution.
"I was planning to visit you in Tianjin before I left, but now that you're here, it saves me the trouble."
"How's business in America?" Wang Minghua asked, though he had heard a general idea from his brother, he didn't know the details.
"It's going well. I have a small ranch with some cows. I haven't given up on growing vegetables either. I got a USDA certification, and now Walmart is selling them," Liu Yuxuan explained briefly, as everyone was interested.
"You're doing well, wherever you go," Wang Minghua, who usually dealt with higher-level matters and knew more about certain things, was surprised that Liu Yuxuan's vegetables had passed the USDA certification. If he knew that Liu Yuxuan's vegetables not only passed but also received the USDA label, he would be even more surprised.
"By the way, everyone should come visit my ranch. There's plenty of horseback riding and shooting."
"You bought guns?" Zhao Yan was the most interested in this.
"Yes, I bought two. One is a rifle for hunting, and the other is a handgun for personal use. When you come, you can buy whatever you like. In America, you can buy almost anything except automatic weapons."
"Alright, this makes me itchy. I'll have to talk to my dad and find a chance to go to America," Zhao Yan said, thinking to himself.
"Brother Minghua, Mingyuan can't come, but you should come and visit. Horseback riding is a great way to relax," Liu Yuxuan invited again.
In America, he really missed his friends and often thought about gathering together to ride horses and hunt.
"Sure, no matter what, I'll go to America at least once. At the very least, I must be there for your wedding with Mishel," Wang Minghua said, glancing at Mishel.
Mishel understood the words "wedding" and felt a bit shy.
