I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 169 Comfortable

Xu Shu has always been unwilling to suffer losses when it comes to money, but he was in a good mood today and was just joking with Wu Yong.

Seeing Wu Yong's incredible expression, as if he was about to say something but hesitated, he slowly changed his words: "Brother Wu and I have a very close relationship. How can I talk about money when you come?"

Wu Yong's eyes widened, and he was even more unconvinced: "Are you serious?"

Xu Shu only said: "There is a side courtyard in the inner courtyard. I will take you there personally."

Wu Yong reluctantly believed it, and pulled Li Zile, who had been silent, and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Li Zile nodded in response and glanced at the servant following behind him. The servant immediately picked up a wooden box and walked forward: "Master Xu, this is the bamboo mahjong that my master brought."

Xu Shu was not interested in mahjong, nor was he in a hurry to see the finished product. Instead, he instructed the servant: "First, settle your son down. This bamboo mahjong..."

Xu Shu looked at Jiang Da and said, "Please send it to Xiao Mujin."

Jiang Da nodded in agreement and asked, "Brother Xu, Brother Qu came over just now and said that the medicinal food prepared by Doctor Qi is ready, and asked Brother Mu to drink it later."

"Okay." Xu Shu nodded in agreement, "I'll go to the kitchen and bring it over later. Thank you for your help."

Jiang Da waved his hand embarrassedly, and Xu Shucai looked at Wu Yong: "Let's go."

Wu Yong called the servant and took Li Zile to the side yard with him. When they were alone, he whispered to Xu Shu, "Brother, since Jiang Da is working in your house, why doesn't he call you Young Master? Don't you think it's weird for him to try to get close to you?"

Xu Shu frowned: "He works in my house and I pay him, so why should he call me Master?"

Wu Yong was speechless for a moment and shook his head: "But he is the only one in your family, can he handle it? And Mu Ge'er, he is the only little brother in the family, will he feel inconvenient?"

Xu Shu had never thought about this problem. In the past, his family of four lived in a villa and they only needed to hire one cook and one cleaner.

Later, after graduating from college, he lived on his own and did all the cooking and cleaning by himself, without even having to hire a aunt.

But now that he lives in a courtyard house, cleaning does take some effort, and Jiang Da is the only one in charge of the family, who has to take care of this and that.

After Xiao Mujin's foot was injured, only Qu Xiu knew how to cook...

Now that Wu Yong is a guest, it seems that he has no way to send anyone to entertain him.

It was the same with Xiao Mujin. He was always busy on weekdays. There were only men in the family. What if Xiao Mujin had something she was too embarrassed to talk about...

Xu Shu thought a lot, and the more he thought, the more he felt that he lacked a lot. In terms of enjoyment, ancient people like Wu Yong would enjoy it. He immediately asked: "Then according to you, how do we do it?"

"You have a lot of thugs in your Muyi Building, so you can get two of them who are on good terms with Mu Ge to live at home." Wu Yong thought for a while, "As for the gambling house, according to your arrangement, those thugs probably won't be needed by then. Just let them come to your house, where they have muscles all over their bodies and can relieve the heat."

Xu Shu imagined the scene and frowned, "What if we scare Little Mu Jin?"

That being said, Wu Yong also remained silent. After a moment of silence, he remembered Li Zile: "Brother Le, what do you think? Are you scared?"

Li Zile wanted to laugh when he heard their conversation. How could he be as timid as these guys thought? Would he be scared by seeing a few strong men?

Now that he heard them asking for his opinion, he immediately said seriously, "If they are all from the same family, what is there to be afraid of?"

That being said, Xu Shu just felt that Mu Jinghua was not good enough.

He has a little white rabbit personality and his eyes get red at the slightest provocation. Even if he is afraid, he will probably force himself to say he is not afraid.

Seeing Xu Shu's hesitation, Li Zile comforted him: "If you are worried that Mu Ge'er will not get used to it, just put them in the outer courtyard and don't allow them to enter the inner courtyard."

That's okay.

Xu Shu nodded and began to introduce the design of the side courtyard to them. When he talked about the water pump, Wu Yong was amazed. If it hadn't been raining, he would have rolled up his sleeves to try it out immediately.

Xu Shu found it funny, but didn't say anything about giving him one.

Although he still had a lot of these things in his backpack, they were after all things from the future, so it was not convenient to show too many of them in front of others. He could only use them himself.

Wu Yong was tactful and did not ask Xu Shu for anything. He just asked when dinner would be served.

Xu Shu immediately said, "I'll excuse myself from dinner. Little Mujin is still waiting for me."

Wu Yong understood immediately and nodded in agreement: "Then I'll walk around your yard after dinner. I hope I won't disturb you."

On the day of the warm-up, Wu Yong was busy and couldn't come, and he always felt very sorry about it.

Of course Xu Shu didn't mind. He nodded and hurried to the kitchen to get the medicinal food to find Mu Jinghua.

When I got into the room, Mu Jinghua was leaning on the beauty couch by the window, with the window half open, looking at the rain outside with a weary look.

As Xu Shu entered the room, he brought in a gust of wind.

He turned around and saw that it was Xu Shu. The tired look on his face disappeared and was immediately filled with a smile.

"Xu Shu." He called silently and stretched out his hands to ask Xu Shu to hug him.

Xu Shu put the medicinal food on the table, went over to close the window for him, and then sat down and held his hand: "Your hands are cold."

Mu Jinghua then put his other hand in his palm, signaling Xu Shu to warm him up.

Xu Shu held his hands and looked at them carefully. Only after confirming that he didn't have frostbite did he clench his hands.

He gently rubbed every inch of skin with the tip of his thumb, like a curious ant, step by step, carefully feeling Mu Jinghua's life over the past decade.

Every callus and every rough spot tells of the hardships he had experienced in the past.

Xu Shu frowned in pain, but Mu Jinghua pulled his hand back embarrassedly.

Once again forced to face the gap between him and Xu Shu, Mu Jinghua felt powerless. He looked at Xu Shu's hand in confusion. It was so beautiful. Finally, he had no choice but to ask Xu Shu: "Is my hand uncomfortable?"

However, Xu Shu had some wrong ideas.

He hasn't tried it though.

But I think it should be comfortable.

It might scratch a bit, but it should feel better that way.

But Mu Jinghua's hands are too small, and I don't know if one hand can completely cover it...

Xu Shu was lost in thought and didn't reply for a long time, which made Mu Jinghua a little anxious.

He had long realized that he had been spoiled by Xu Shu.

Even though he is still a lowly man at heart, he can't help but ask Xu Shu about his own shortcomings, and can't help but expect his god to always tolerate all his shortcomings.

If Xu Shu was unwilling to be tolerant, or had some hesitation, he would even feel... wronged.

Now he is a person who is favored to the point that he can have a little temper and even feel aggrieved.

This may not be much, but emotions are like the tide, which will only drown people.

He would just be overwhelmed.
