From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 960 - 956: Sun Dawu’s Son (First Update)
Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang had lunch, then moved chairs outside to bask in the sun.
The midday sunshine was warm and cozy on the body.
Soon, they both felt a bit sleepy. Mu Shuangshuang yawned several times before finally succumbing to sleepiness.
She slept for a while and when she woke up, it was already evening.
A salted duck egg hung in the sky, and what met her eyes was the all-too-familiar little path lined with bushes on both sides, with lush green woods in the distance.
At this moment, she was on Lu Yuanfeng’s back, heading towards Er Gui Village.
This was probably Mu Shuangshuang’s deepest sleep ever. She didn’t know when Lu Yuanfeng had left town, and more curiously, she hadn’t woken up despite the bumpy journey.
"Fengzi... Why didn’t you wake me?" she said, her mind still muddled and her speech a bit sweet and soft.
Mu Shuangshuang struggled to get down and walk, but Lu Yuanfeng held her legs firmly.
"We’re almost at the village, why don’t you rest a bit more?" he said, panting, his face as red as the evening glow in the sky.
Mu Shuangshuang’s nap was so deep, probably because she had been too tired recently.
She hadn’t mentioned wanting to stay in town, so Lu Yuanfeng had no choice but to carry her out.
He tried to keep his movements gentle throughout this process, and she didn’t wake up on the way.
"But... it’s too tiring like this. You didn’t rest at all!"
From town to the village, it was a dozen miles, about an hour’s walk, and he must have not taken a break. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Mu Shuangshuang tilted her head and could even see the sweat on his forehead.
"Actually, it’s nothing. I once carried a wild boar over half a mountain and didn’t feel tired. That boar was much heavier than you," said Lu Yuanfeng.
Mu Shuangshuang’s face turned dark instantly.
Of all things to compare her to, he had to choose a wild boar.
"Have you ever seen a wild boar as good-looking as me? Lu Yuanfeng, do you want to spend your next life with a wild boar?"
The girl’s tone had a hint of anger, her wide eyes staring fiercely at the back of the man’s head, as if trying to burn a hole through it.
The instigator, realizing Mu Shuangshuang’s ’anger’, burst into laughter.
Lu Yuanfeng said, "I think I’d be happy to be with someone prettier than a pig."
Mu Shuangshuang quickly responded, clenched her fist, and lightly tapped Lu Yuanfeng’s shoulder.
"You rascal, Lu Yuanfeng, you dared to joke with me, I’m not done with you!"
Mu Shuangshuang snorted twice and started tickling Lu Yuanfeng.
In Mu Shuangshuang’s impression, Lu Yuanfeng was almost an all-rounder in terms of physical fitness.
Who knew, he was actually ticklish, and this tickling almost made Mu Shuangshuang fall off.
Fortunately, Lu Yuanfeng had long arms and caught her just in time.
This scared Lu Yuanfeng into a cold sweat, his rough hands gently stroking Mu Shuangshuang’s hair.
"That scared me to death..." Lu Yuanfeng said.
Mu Shuangshuang, on the other hand, acted like nothing happened, saying, "It’s alright, don’t scare yourself, see, I didn’t fall!"
"If you fall, it would be too late! Shuangshuang, please stay still on my back until we reach the village entrance," Lu Yuanfeng said with a hint of fear.
As a result, Mu Shuangshuang behaved much better, lying on Lu Yuanfeng’s back, not daring to move.
The two chatted and bickered along the way, and soon arrived at Er Gui Village.

Back home, Yu Si Niang had already prepared dinner.
Everyone was gathered, waiting for Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng to come back.
Mu Shuangshuang also noticed that Luo Bai and Xiao Zhu were home today, apparently invited by Mu Dashan.
Seeing Mu Shuangshuang, Yuanbao and Little Zhi ran up in the yard.
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng had bought several things, but they were all paints and drawing tools.
The two little kids thought they were food and stared at Mu Shuangshuang intently.
Mu Shuangshuang took the items from Lu Yuanfeng and explained, "These aren’t edible, they’re materials for sister to paint. You two should quickly move the chairs and get ready for dinner."
"Painting, what kind of painting?" Yuanbao tried to lift his single eyelid, curiously looking at Mu Shuangshuang.
"Painting dishes, for the restaurant," Mu Shuangshuang replied.
"Oh!" Yuanbao pouted, somewhat disappointed, lowering his head.
He mumbled, "Second brother didn’t buy me any food, Yuanbao’s craving."
"Well..." Lu Yuanfeng felt a bit embarrassed.
He focused on carrying Shuangshuang back and forgot about promising Yuanbao food before leaving.
Mu Shuangshuang saw this, knowing Lu Yuanfeng had broken his promise.
Her round eyes rolled, and she said to Yuanbao, "How about we make baked pancakes for dinner tonight? They’re not worse than the ones in town."
Yuanbao, being a simple child, smacked his lips when Mu Shuangshuang mentioned baked pancakes, looking like he really wanted to eat.
Just then, Yu Si Niang called everyone for dinner from the kitchen.
The talk about food was temporarily set aside.
Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng put away the painting materials in the room.
Returning to the kitchen, everyone was already at the table, with Xiao Zhu closely leaning against Mu Dashan, seeming to trust only Mu Dashan despite the room full of people.
Even when Luo Bai talked to him, it took a long time before he responded.
It’s normal for him to react like this on the first day of school.
Mu Shuangshuang smiled at Xiao Zhu, "Xiao Zhu, what did you learn today? Can you tell Auntie?"
Previously, Mu Shuangshuang followed Lu Yuanfeng in calling Sun Dawu "big brother," so there’s a bit of confusion in the ranks here.
Mu Dashan became the grandpa, and Yu Si Niang the grandma.
Fortunately, everyone didn’t mind these little details.
Sun Xiaozhu didn’t dare look at Mu Shuangshuang; it was Mu Dashan who smoothed things over for him, and the matter was let go.
After dinner, Luo Bai had a private chat with Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.
It was about Sun Xiaozhu.
Luo Bai said, "The child is naturally shy and hasn’t seen his parents for several days; he’s not adapting well.
I think he needs either his parents to accompany him together, or... the child should be sent to town."
Luo Bai knew Sun Dawu was going to be the head chef for Mu Shuangshuang, and he should be staying mostly in town.
However, Er Gui Village was a dozen miles from town; going back and forth daily may be manageable for adults, but not necessarily for children.
That’s why Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng built a school in the village initially.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t speak, pondering solutions.
Not only was Sun Xiaozhu inconvenient, but also the Sun family’s Daya.
The restaurant hadn’t opened yet, so asking Sun Dawu to temporarily change plans posed another problem.
After Luo Bai left, Mu Shuangshuang continued to think about solutions.
Lu Yuanfeng sat beside her, speaking after a while, "Shuangshuang, I think Luo Bai is right. Sun Xiaozhu is like Brother Dahu’s pride and joy, and he came to Qingshan Town for the child’s education.
If the child continues struggling to adapt to this environment, I reckon Brother Dahu might choose to return to Shigou Town for the sake of the child."
