"Quickly call him uncle!"

Ge Qiuqin whispered to the two children.

Hello, Uncle!

The two little ones greeted Qin Gang in their babyish voices.

Hello!

Most kids would avoid him if they saw his appearance, since he looked somewhat like a gangster.

But the third and fourth brothers weren't afraid. Instead, they squatted down behind him and took out a piece of candy from their pockets and handed it to him.

"Eat candy."

Qin Gang watched as the two children were happy and extremely obedient.

"Young lady, your child is so well-behaved. I'll have them bring out two dishes. Why don't you and your three children come in and have a meal? Try our cooking!"

Qin Gang stood up and invited him.

"Brother Qin, thank you. We won't go in. I already asked Xia for a day off, and I need to find a daycare center quickly, otherwise this trip will have been for nothing."

"Hey girl, there's a newly opened daycare center on that street ahead, it's called Little Lei Feng Kindergarten. I'll give you a ride there, I'm free anyway."

Qin Gang felt genuinely comfortable with the three men and offered to drive them to help.

He always felt that Ge Qiuqin had a very different temperament, especially when he made eye contact with her, he always felt a little embarrassed.

Ge Qiuqin was somewhat surprised by his enthusiasm.

The two people were not familiar with each other, yet they offered to drive him around.

She decided to pass; she couldn't bear to trouble someone on their first meeting.

"No, no, Brother Qin, I know you mean well, but the three of us have finally managed to get out here, so we're just taking a walk and strolling around."

"If we just get in the car and get there right away, wouldn't that be a waste of this beautiful spring weather?"

Since attending night school, Ge Qiuqin's vocabulary has become more sophisticated. Not only has her hometown dialect gradually faded away, but her speech and behavior have also become much more polite and refined.

In the first few years after she arrived in Yongning, she worked in the compound with great energy and always had a hearty laugh. Now, you can no longer see the careless and clumsy side of her.

Qin Gang rubbed his hands and could only give up: "Alright then, young lady, remember the location of my shop. If you need my help, just come over anytime. Just ask them to call me at the front desk!"

"Don't worry, Brother Qin Gang, now that we've met, I'll definitely need your help sometime in the future. By the way, our laundry shop is about to move to a new location that's not far from your shop."

"Bring your clothes over when they get dirty, and I'll wash them for you for free."

Ge Qiuqin walked away and called out again, then, following Qin Gang's instructions, led the child towards the front street.

After settling things at the shop, Xia Enruo specially prepared a basket containing homemade bread, sausages, fruit, fruit tea, and several delicate side dishes.

Gu Shaoxuan said he wanted to go for a spring outing, so let's find a beautiful place and have a picnic.

In my past life, I often saw couples sitting on the grass eating bread, fruit and vegetable salad in European and American movies. Regardless of whether the food was delicious or not, the romantic atmosphere alone was enviable.

But in her past life, she didn't have a boyfriend and focused solely on her career, so she could only look on with envy. In this life, she decided to make up for her regrets and have a romantic time with her husband.

Gu Shaoxuan watched Xia Enruo walk out carrying a basket, not understanding what she was going to do or why she would carry this with her when going out, as if she was going to buy eggs.

"Enruo, what is this?"

He asked.

"How about we have a picnic for lunch today?"

"picnic?"

This was the first time he had ever heard such a strange word.

"Yes, a picnic is eating on the grass in the park. Look, I brought a blanket. We'll spread it out on the ground and sit on it."

Gu Shaoxuan took it. He really didn't understand why a blanket should be draped over your body to keep warm. He just couldn't figure it out.

"Enruo, did people in your generation eat like this?"

Gu Shaoxuan, holding his wife's hand and carrying a basket, asked.

"Isn't it romantic to go out occasionally?"

"Aren't you afraid that if you drink it all up, it'll just be air and cause a stomachache? I'm worried about your stomach hurting!"

Xia Enruo rolled her eyes. He was such a rough guy; these were the first things he thought of.

"No, they must have gone out for a picnic on a sunny day. Who would go out on a windy day? You really have a vivid imagination."

The two walked hand in hand to Swan Lake Park. The warm spring breeze at the end of April had already melted the ice on the river.

The river flowed slowly down the mountain along the riverbed. I must say, the weather today is really great; there isn't a single cloud in the sky, and it's a deep, clear blue.

"The river water is really cold, but it's crystal clear."

Xia Enruo splashed her hand in the stream twice.

"The river water is naturally cold in early spring, partly because it is melted snow from the mountains."

Gu Shaoxuan shook Xia Enruo's cold, river-water-covered hand and replied.

"You know a lot, you even know this."

"When we were in field training, we ran out of water, so we ate snow in the winter."

"Eat snow?"

"Yes, just find a patch of clean-looking snow and eat it with your hands."

Xia Enruo hadn't expected the conditions to be so harsh; she had always thought it was just a scene from a TV drama.

"But even the cleanest snow isn't hygienic to eat on, and it's easy to get an upset stomach."

She reached into her eight-pack abs and touched them as she spoke.

"My comrades were all so thirsty that they didn't care about anything else, and in the end, no one got sick."

"The older generation of revolutionaries fought during the Long March, they even ate tree bark and cotton; what we're going through is nothing compared to that."

Gu Shaoxuan held his wife's hand and said as they walked.

The two found an open space surrounded by blooming peach blossoms, a delightful sight of pink covering the land, with large patches of grass sprouting green shoots.
