From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 494 - 491: The Ultimate Kiss (Four Updates)

Beggar’s chicken, as the name suggests, is chicken eaten by beggars.However, Mu Shuangshuang could never understand why such a delicious dish should be limited to certain people. Clearly, everyone could enjoy it.

After Lu Yuanfeng caught a wild chicken, he prepared it, wrapped it in mud, and placed it in the fire to roast.

Mu Shuangshuang watched the crimson fire, her face as red as the flames.

Her mind involuntarily recalled the moment two incense sticks ago when Lu Yuanfeng kissed her in a sensational s-h-e kiss and then confessed his feelings.

And yet, in her muddle-headedness, amidst the allure of male charm, she actually agreed—

Now one was staring blankly, while the other was grinning like a fool.

Lu Yuanfeng had been laughing for two whole incense sticks, his face likely frozen from smiling so much.

Mu Shuangshuang coughed softly, and Lu Yuanfeng immediately came over.

"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I can take you to see a doctor."

As he said this, his hand was already on her, and if Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t stopped him in time, he would have lifted her up.

"I’m fine, just think you look like a fool when you smile." Mu Shuangshuang spoke the truth.

Lu Yuanfeng’s face froze for a moment, then he burst into laughter again.

"That’s because Shuangshuang agreed to marry me!"

His slightly magnetic voice sent a shiver through Mu Shuangshuang’s ears, and she felt as if feathers were brushing her heart.

She thought, Lu Yuanfeng didn’t seem like Lu Yuanfeng anymore.

And she didn’t seem like herself either.

Is this what they call not being oneself in the face of love?

It must be!

Mu Shuangshuang concluded.

The two of them, just like this, looked at each other until the beggar’s chicken wrapped in mud was done.

Mu Shuangshuang snapped out of it and started to reach for the chicken, only to be stopped by Lu Yuanfeng again.

"Shuangshuang, you’ve zoned out twice now. It’s so hot, you can’t touch it with your hands, let me do it!"

He knocked off the mud from the beggar’s chicken, and the aroma of the chicken wafted through the air. Mu Shuangshuang squinted her eyes, waiting for Lu Yuanfeng to feed her.

Lu Yuanfeng was more than happy to prepare the food for her, feeding her until she was full.

Eating chicken, chatting away, time flew by so quickly that it was already dusk in the blink of an eye.

It’s about time to head back.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t need to prepare dinner today, she only needed to prepare lunch and dinner for tomorrow, with the main meal being in the evening.

In the Da Ning Dynasty, weddings were held in the evening, slightly different from modern times, but Mu Shuangshuang could understand that after so many years, differences were inevitable.

Upon returning to the Old Yu Family, everyone hadn’t started eating yet. In the kitchen, Old Mrs. Yu personally led the charge, preparing dinner with her two daughters-in-law.

The neighbors from the Old Yu Family had already left. After all, today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and family reunion was the priority.

After dinner, everyone sat together, chatting, eating mooncakes, and admiring the moon.

Mr. Yu and Old Mrs. Yu sat in the main hall, enjoying the joy of children and grandchildren gathered around.

As night deepened, the day finally came to an end.

...

...

The next day, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums echoed through the Old Yu Family. Though it wasn’t yet time to fetch the bride, everyone had already sprung into action.

They vowed to give the Old Yu Family’s unwed old bachelor an unforgettable wedding.

The whole Old Yu Family was immersed in harmony and joy, even Mrs. Li uncharacteristically kept her mouth shut, without any comparisons.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng were busy in the kitchen. The two got up before dawn, slaughtering chickens, cutting fish, busily and happily.

After Lu Yuanfeng finished slaughtering the chicken and draining the blood, the rest of the work was up to Mu Shuangshuang. She needed to clean the chicken’s feathers and then gut it.

Just as she poured the hot water into the wooden bucket, Lu Yuanfeng approached Mu Shuangshuang.

"Shuangshuang, you wash the vegetables, leave this work to me."

Lu Yuanfeng wiped the fish scales from his hands with a cloth and started to squat down to pluck chicken feathers, but Mu Shuangshuang held his hand.

"I just poured the hot water, it’s very hot, wait a moment."

Lu Yuanfeng raised his head and saw the concern in Shuangshuang’s eyes.

She looked at him for a long time without looking away, making Lu Yuanfeng feel warm inside.

It made everything he did feel particularly invigorating.

After some bustling in the kitchen, a lot of time had passed.

The people of the Old Yu Family, following Mu Shuangshuang’s instructions, placed two large iron pots and two large iron barrels outside. The iron barrels were cut open, with a hole in the middle. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on N0veI.Fiɾe.net

In fact, this was a simple stove.

The big iron pot, being larger than the iron barrel, sat on top without any worry of falling.

They added firewood to the hole in the iron barrel, and the pot heated up.

When Mu Shuangshuang came out with a shovel, everyone was stunned.

A teenage girl was holding a spatula that looked like a shovel, fiddling around the large iron pot.

After a while, they saw her add oil to the large pot and start cooking.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Lu Yuanfeng was stunned. Recently, the things Shuangshuang wanted were always weird and wonderful. Although Lu Yuanfeng was curious, he never asked about them. Instead, he devoted himself to helping her prepare.

Little did he expect that these strange items were all used for cooking.

This way, she didn’t have to stand by the stove ring, bustling about for an entire afternoon.

Moreover, the large iron pot was specially made; it could fry up enough for over ten bowls at once, just enough for the Old Yu Family’s banquet, even leaving some leftovers.

Of course, everything depended on Shuangshuang’s control.

The midday meal was attended by close relatives, mostly familiar faces of the Old Yu Family, so sitting down, they had plenty to talk about.

"Shuangshuang, your grandpa and grandma haven’t come." Mu Dashan slowly came over.

These past few days, Zhang Huai Shu allowed him to move more, but he still had to take his medicine regularly, and he wasn’t allowed to do heavy work.

Especially not tasks requiring lifting or carrying.

"Grandpa and grandma are getting old, it’s natural for them to walk slower than the younger people. Plus, with my little aunt, they’re bound to be even slower. Dad, don’t worry."

Mu Shuangshuang guessed correctly, Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu indeed couldn’t move any further halfway there.

Mu Xiangxiang outright refused to get up lying in the grass.

Old Mrs. Mu got anxious and urged her.

"Xiangxiang, we have to hurry, if we delay, we’ll only have dishwater to drink."

"Mom, I can’t move, I’m exhausted. Why is Yu Family Village so far?"

"I suggested renting a bullock cart just now, but you wouldn’t. Now my legs are practically broken."

As she spoke, Mu Xiangxiang tapped her legs, looking utterly exhausted.

Back at the village entrance, the bullock cart was heading to the town. Since it was being rented anyway, Mu Xiangxiang suggested getting the driver to take Old Mrs. Mu, Mr. Mu, and herself to Yu Family Village together.

But who knew, that driver demanded thirty coins on the spot.

Old Mrs. Mu refused to pay.

Usually, a bullock cart ride costs just one coin per person. Three people should only be three coins, but now it had tenfold. Naturally, she turned him down.

Trying to extort her? Maybe next lifetime! Old Mrs. Mu thought to herself.
