"Is this still my home?"
Mai Xiaomai naturally knew her mom's intention in decorating the house this way, so she teased on purpose.
"Nonsense, of course, this is your home! Qiao Chutian, our son-in-law, will come over tonight, and I can't let him think our home is like it's in a slum. Even if it can't compare to his villa, it should still feel quaint and comfortable, right!"
Mom hustled about, directing Duoduo to wipe the dust from the corners.
"Right, right, right, do whatever you want to do!"
Mai Xiaomai watched her mother bustling with excitement and energy and held back any discouraging words.
It had been so many years since she had seen her mom this happy.
"Duoduo, stop your chores for now, let's all eat. We can't have Xiaomai going hungry."
Mom called Duoduo, who was busy working, to have everyone sit at the dining table.
Mai Xiaomai also helped set the dishes and then sat down.
Dad had also just come back.
Mom chatted excitedly while eating.
