Dressed up as a Real Mom

Chapter 1: Husband

Just as He Xiaoyun walked in front of the house, she heard a voice of a child coming from the courtyard. The rest of the family had something to do today so except for her three years old son, Wei Yuanhang, and his grandmother, there's also Wei Jianwei who had just returned from the army.

He Xiaoyun originally planned to sneak a peek at the door first but she didn't expect the child inside to be so sharp-eyed, he rushed out and grab her at once: "Mom, Dad's back. And he bought us a lot of orange candies!"

He Xiaoyun was like an ostrich whose head was pulled off from the sand. She had to bite the bullet and walked in slowly and stiffly.

She caught a glimpse of Wei Jianwei, a tall man with an imposing aura that ordinary people don't have. Such aura often makes people overlook his appearance but from the photos on the wall at home, his face is very handsome, how else would the original owner target him?

"Xiaoyun is back and Jianwei just arrived home. The two of you talk first, I'll get him a bowl of noodles." Wang Chunhua, the grandmother of the protagonist, said.

He Xiaoyun didn't want to stay here and talk and so she put the tub on the stone wall and said, "Mom, I'm going to make noodles."

Wang Chuanhua waved her hand and took off her apron, then put it around her waist as she quickly walked into the kitchen, "I should do it instead, I'm quick."

Before He Xiaoyun could say anything, the little kid Wei Yuanhang ran over and grabbed the hem of her clothes, "Mom, come and see, there are a lot of orange candies! So many of it!"

He Xiaoyun has no choice but to follow his lead, passing by Wei Jianwei, she said, "I'm back." with a voice that only the two of them can hear. After completing the greetings, she felt more at ease.

Many of the bags that Wei Jianwei bought were indeed quite large, two big bags. Now that supplies are scarce, let alone sugar, even the salt needs to be saved.

She also saw yesterday a child holding a candy fruit bar, breaking the fruit bar through the packaging, and then distributing a few pieces to his friends, so they will regard him as their leader. The scene can be said to be both funny and sad.

When Wei Jianwei came home, Wei Yuanhang was the happiest, mainly because of the orange candies, otherwise, how could he remember a man that only comes home ten days a year? After all, children who were two to three years old tend to be forgetful.

"Mom, can I have one?" The chubby boy was holding a candy in his hand and looking at her eagerly.

Although He Xiaoyun didn't like children very much, just like any ordinary person, when she saw a cute kid, She can't help but soften. Wei Yuanhang has a round head and a plump white face, he was rarely spoiled by his family, he has not spoiled his temper, and even if he's occasionally naughty, he was not annoying.

Even at a young age, he understands the reasons. The other day, when he caught a cough because of the changing seasons, he can't eat sweets. He Xiaoyun won't let him eat it and he would obediently obey and wouldn't be upset. Interestingly, the little boy was being deliberate in front of He Xiaoyun today.

"I can't eat sugar, or my cough will be worse."

"Did you cough last night? If not, go take one." He Xiaoyun touched his little head and saw Wei Jianwei walking in the courtyard from the corner of her eyes, not knowing what to do.

"No cough!" Wei Yuanhang's eyes lit up. " I didn't cough today either!"

She nodded and said, "You can eat more without the cough."

"I know that if I eat too much candy, I will cough." Wei Yuanhang said obediently.

"You are such a clever ghost." He Xiaoyun said amusedly.

Hearing the sound of clothes rustling, she turned her head and saw Wei Jianwei had taken the clothes she had put on the stone wall to dry.

"Wait..." He Xiaoyun tried to stop him but remembered they were all WeiYuanhang's clothes, it wouldn't matter if he hang them dry. It was a little surprising for her that he would take such initiative. After all, the men here only thought of earning work points, from their point of view, housework was women's business.

However, the relationship between Wei Jianwei and the original owner seems ordinary. From the time she entered the door and to the present, the two of them did not have any communication, she didn't say any serious greetings nor had she heard him comment about it. This couple seems to represent the saying, 'Respect each other like ice.'

But thinking about the 'good' deeds the original owner had done, maybe it was better this way.

Wei Yuanhang asked for another candy to share with the little girl next door. After the boy ran out, He Xiaoyun entered the house to avoid embarrassment in the yard.

Wei Jianwei dried the clothes, leaned the tub on the stone wall, glanced at her back, and then went to sort out the luggage he brought back.

Wang Chunhua was cutting noodles in the kitchen, He Xiaoyun filled the pot with water and sat under the stove to start the fire.

Wang Chunhua shook the noodles and glanced at her.

This second daughter-in-law, Wang Chuanhua was not very satisfied with her from the very beginning. Her personality was too aggressive and she always argues. At that time, she(HX) insisted on marrying Jianwei and threatened them with her life, it was simply too arrogant. Wang Chuanhua was afraid that she(HX) will really seek death and endanger her son's future in the army, so she(WC) had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

After the marriage, she(HX) settled down a little. As an elder, she turned a blind eye and went away. In the past two years, her little grandson has grown up and she then suddenly heard her second daughter-in-law wanted to separate from the family.

Wang Chuanhua thought that sooner or later the family will separate anyway. When the second son returned this time, it would be better to discuss it with the whole family together so that the second daughter-in-law won't make any trouble again, lest the outsiders found out and make a joke out of them.

But for a while, she's(HX) calmed down and her temper has cooled down considerably.

When Jianwei returned from the past, she(HX) was always the first to go through his luggage, for fear that some good things will be taken away. She also asked a lot about the allowances and wages, in fear that they will be stolen. But today, she hasn't said any words and even volunteered to boil water for her.

"Tomorrow, let Jianwei accompany you back home. I will start planting rice in two days and won't have the time to move around." When the water boiled, Wang Chuanhua put the noodles in the pot and stirred them with chopsticks.

He Xiaoyun stilled and realized that she(WC) was talking about going back home to her family. Since Jianwei rarely comes back, he rarely visits his father-in-law's house but He Xiaoyun wasn't that comfortable regarding her identity as a married woman who had a child yet. At this time, she felt strange and uncomfortable. A song then played on her mind: " A chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and a fat baby on her back!"

A sudden 囧 burst upon her heart
