Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Misunderstood

Qu Dongyu looked at his wife’s angry face, instinctively raising his hand to touch his head: ”I just chatted casually, how would I know there were all these twists and turns inside? When she asked, I just offhandedly mentioned it.”

Gu Qianqian glared at him and just as she was about to scold him, a bus arrived at the stop and without a word, she boarded it.

Riding his bicycle, Qu Dongyu didn’t react for a while. It was only after she got on the bus and before it pulled away that he shouted loudly: ”Wife, that’s not the bus to our home, where are you going?”

But the bus had already left the stop.

Seeing his wife taking the wrong bus was worrying enough, but she was upset too, and he was anxious, regretting the reason for her anger, wishing he could give himself a couple of slaps.

Mechanical Plant Family Courtyard

Huo Jingrui and Yunyi used the time when Huo Jiayuan was at the Tubular Building to take out some ingredients from the space and place them in the kitchen.

They didn’t dare to take out too much, just enough for today’s lunch before stopping.

Last night, the two of them had stayed up late, and Huo Jingrui felt sorry for Yunyi: ”I’ll wash the dishes and clean the vegetables. You can go back to sleep a bit more.”

Yunyi playfully glared at him: ”Alright, I’ll go back to the room then.”

However, instead of going back to sleep, she closed the door and entered the space, as both families were soon returning, she thought she’d better put out the return gifts she prepared earlier and see if she needed to add anything else.

She organized all the prepared items together. The space now had the seeds Huo Jingrui had gathered from all over the country, making it a small plant world of its own. Although there wasn’t much of each, the variety was vast.

Previously, a comrade from Guangxi Guigang sent him passion fruits. Huo Jingrui had never seen the stuff and didn’t know how to eat it, almost throwing it away.

Yunyi didn’t expect Guigang to already be cultivating passion fruit in the seventies.

She soaked the seeds and planted three passion fruit trees in the space. With the remaining passion fruits, she added lemon slices and honey to make a fruit honey.

She didn’t waste the leftover passion fruit pulp pockets either. She boiled them, removed the skin, added rock sugar, and simmered it with the passion fruit, then baked it into fruit leather. Homemade treats like these really taste great, but since they were so small and not enough to share, she only prepared a portion for her little sister-in-law, who is a real foodie.

Previously, she had given Huo Jiayuan a small jar, which she really enjoyed drinking, and knew she still had some left, intending to give it away.

The girl, although a foodie, wasn’t greedy. Even though the small jar given to her had long been consumed, she didn’t dare open her mouth to ask for more.

She took out several jars of her homemade moisturizing cream.

The skincare products she made were highly sought after. Her mother-in-law mentioned that when she came, her friends all urged her to see if she could bring some back.

In fact, her mother-in-law had already told her on the phone beforehand, so she had to give this face, especially since Huo Jingrui had helped her quite a bit in the space, allowing her to make a decent supply to store there.

As soon as she got everything ready, she heard movement outside, hurriedly exited the space, and opened the door to step out of the courtyard: ”Mom, Dad.”

Then she greeted everyone else who came in after them.

Xia Dongxue looked at her daughter’s rosy complexion: ”Yiyi, did Jingrui talk to you?”

Yunyi nodded, softly saying ”Mm.”

Xia Dongxue’s eyes were full of reluctance: ”Mom is waiting for you to return to Beijing.”

Yunyi held her hand: ”At the latest, by the end of the year. I’ll call once there’s news.”

Jiang Jingya, seeing that her in-laws had mostly finished speaking, also joined in: ”Don’t forget to call me, I’ll air the quilts for you in advance.”

These words directly made Yunyi’s thoughts drift...
