"Little Mo is here. Don't be formal. Just make yourself at home."
Uncle Zhu was the first to speak. His words really made Mo Xuan feel flattered. Zhu Yuan also felt a little strange. Even if it were polite words, they were a bit too intimate. It was as if he really wanted to become a family with Mo Xuan.
"Hello, uncle. Is your leg better?"
Mo Xuan greeted him after entering the door. He was a little guilty. After all, it was his fault that Uncle Zhu was injured. There was nothing to cut away.
"It's completely healed. Although I'm not young anymore, my body's recovery ability is not bad. Otherwise, how could I have such a healthy daughter like Yuan-yuan?"
Uncle Zhu patted his leg and said with a smile. Mo Xuan very much agreed with this. Zhu Yuan didn't become the superhuman of New Eridu through a genetic mutation. It was a good inheritance from her parents. It felt like they both had side jobs when they were young.
"Indeed. I'm even envious of Zhu Yuan's physique," Mo Xuan nodded and said.
"What are you talking about?"
Zhu Yuan turned her head and looked at Mo Xuan and asked. This tone was clearly a little unhappy. What did he mean by her physique? As if she were very burly, making even a man envious.
"I misspoke. I meant Aether Adaptability."
Mo Xuan quickly tried to remedy it. Zhu Yuan gave him a white eye, then walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa, waiting for the meal to start.
"Uncle and Auntie, this is the gift I prepared for you. I hope you will like it."
Mo Xuan took out the small bag in his hand. It didn't look like it was filled with cigarettes and alcohol. He also didn't know his father-in-law's and mother-in-law's hobbies. Fortunately, he didn't give them food either.
After Uncle Zhu and Auntie Zhu took the bag, they took out a wooden box from it. After opening the box, they found a thing that looked like a tree inside. Its appearance was a brown tree. On the top were forked branches. The left was slender, the right was thick. On the thick branch were three small birds, two slightly larger, one slightly smaller.
The colors on the small birds were different. One was orange, one was black, and in the middle of them was a small bird that was both black and orange. If you didn't understand the meaning of this decoration before, when you saw the color of the small birds, the two elders understood. This clearly represented their family of three.
"Did you make it yourself?"
Auntie Zhu asked in surprise. She had not seen similar items in a jewelry store. Even if there were such a design, the color would not be so coincidental. So she guessed that it was a gift made by Mo Xuan himself.
"Mhm. Don't look at me like this. I'm still pretty good at handicrafts."
Mo Xuan said with a smile. In his heart, he added, 'if you change a person and have them dismantle and assemble dozens of belts every day, and play with different transformation devices, their hands will also become dexterous.'
This wooden handicraft was not difficult to make. The difficulty Mo Xuan encountered in the early stage was the lack of a design drawing. So after transforming into a Kamen Rider, he used the Rider system's computing power to draw a picture. The rest was easy to handle. Any Rider system could do such a simple thing.
"This child is really dexterous. We like this gift very much. Old Zhu, you go and put it in the most conspicuous place in our house."
Auntie Zhu's attitude towards Mo Xuan was one hundred percent satisfied. Compared to gifts bought on the street, handmade ones could of course express one's heart more. He also compared their family of three to small birds. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"I'll do it."
Zhu Yuan came to Auntie Zhu's side at some point, took the wooden handicraft, and looked at it for a while. She nodded with satisfaction, then gave Mo Xuan a look that said 'you can figure it out yourself,' as if to say, 'I didn't expect you to have this skill'.
"Little Mo, ah, come and see this potted kumquat I just bought."
Uncle Zhu waved at Mo Xuan and said. The two came to the edge of the living room. There was an extra small pot of kumquats here than when he came last time. As a plant with good ornamental value, it was not strange for it to appear here, just that it looked a little withered.
"What's wrong with this kumquat?"
Mo Xuan asked strangely. His botany knowledge was only learned not long ago. He felt that this pot of kumquats seemed to be sick, but he was not sure.
"Just say it boldly. What do you think is the problem?"
Uncle Zhu said with a smile. So Mo Xuan stated his opinion. The general meaning was that the living environment was not humid enough. This kind of plant had strong cold resistance but could not be exposed to the sun. Also, the work of pruning and pest control was not done well.
"Mo Xuan, you even know this?"
Zhu Yuan looked at Mo Xuan with great surprise and said. With her botany knowledge, she felt that he was not wrong. The problem with this kumquat could be seen at a glance. It was like an exam question, and a very simple one at that.
"I only know a little. I just wanted to grow some plants at home to purify the air."
Mo Xuan didn't dare to say he was very good. After all, it was all learned from a book. If he were to be exposed by Zhu Yuan later, it would not be good.
"If you say this, then I'm interested."
Zhu Yuan came to Mo Xuan's side, squeezed past her own dad, and squatted in front of the kumquat with him to study it. As if she were showing off her knowledge, she communicated with Mo Xuan about how to solve this situation. In her opinion, since Mo Xuan had learned botany knowledge, he should be interested in these things, and their communication would not be like talking to a chicken and a duck.
Uncle Zhu quietly retreated to the kitchen. Auntie Zhu was also peeking here at this time. The couple both showed a smile of a successful plan. The way the two young people looked now, they were incredibly compatible no matter how you looked at it.
"Silly child, how can there be so many coincidences? Coincidences are all specially created. The one he's interested in is not the plant."
Uncle Zhu muttered under his breath. The situation was very clear now. If it weren't for the book he had given Mo Xuan before, the current situation would not have occurred.
"To be able to specially go and study for our daughter, I think it's a go."
Auntie Zhu nodded with satisfaction and said. They both knew that Mo Xuan knew nothing about botany before, but in a short time, he could already chat with Zhu Yuan. It was clear that he had put in a lot of effort. This was what they both wanted to see.
"How was my test?"
Uncle Zhu said very proudly. In fact, this was his hidden test for Mo Xuan. If Mo Xuan had thrown the book aside and not read it after returning home, and couldn't answer this question today, not to say he would be kicked out of the house, the two elders would definitely not be so enthusiastic. When it came to choosing a partner for their daughter, the two elders would not be careless.
"Alright, alright. I know you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
Auntie Zhu patted Uncle Zhu's back and said, then continued to look at the chatting Mo Xuan and Zhu Yuan. This one glance was as if she were seeing what the two of them were like when they were young. Once they had a common hobby and a topic they could talk about, their feelings would of course progress by leaps and bounds. At this time, they could start thinking about what to name their grandson.
