"No, it's not far from home. I can just walk back."
After saying that, Shen Yuandao saw someone selling candied haws in a small alley opposite. He and Qin Huaichuan waved and went to the stall selling candied haws.
"Uncle, I want three candied haws."
"Okay, boy, wait a minute!"
Shen Yuandao put his hands in his pockets, smiled at the uncle selling candied haws, and said there was no rush.
After the uncle finished making the candied haws, Shen Yuandao took the candied haws back to the military compound.
…
"Ayan, eat more and try the food your uncle cooks." Uncle Yun said as he picked up a piece of pork ribs for little Ayan.
"Uncle Yun, my brother-in-law hasn't come yet. Aren't you going to wait for him?" Little Ayan said this, but his eyes had been staring at the spareribs in the bowl without blinking.
Uncle Yun waved his hand nonchalantly, "Let's eat, don't worry about him."
After hearing this, little Ayan stopped caring and took a small bite of the pork ribs. The next second, his eyes lit up.
"Great! Uncle Yun's cooking is just as delicious as my sister's."
Uncle Yun was happy, "Oh, our little Ayan has a sweet mouth, come and eat more." As he said that, he kept picking up food for little Ayan, and little Ayan's bowl was soon full.
"Thank you, uncle. Yan will finish it all."
Uncle Yun: "How come our little A'yan is so well-behaved? Unlike your brother-in-law, he would leave his wife and children alone at dinner time to have fun. Wait for your brother-in-law to come back, and your uncle will definitely have a good talk with him."
"Uncle, I heard you saying bad things about me from a distance."
Shen Yuandao's voice came from the door, making Uncle Yun embarrassed for a moment. He coughed lightly, "Xiaoyuan is back? Come and eat, it's still hot."
Shen Yuandao didn't bother with Uncle Yun and handed the candied haws in his hand to Xiao Ayan and the two ladies.
Then he sat next to Su Mianmian.
Su Mianmian handed him a pair of chopsticks and asked, "Did you finish it so quickly?"
"Yeah, let's eat quickly. We can talk about the candied haws after we finish eating." Shen Yuandao answered her while putting the candied haws aside.
"Wow, married people are just different. Look at this caring little guy."
Shen Yuandao raised his head and glanced at Uncle Yun, then said lightly, "Are you envious?"
"Ha! I'm envious?" Uncle Yun didn't care.
Shen Yuandao didn't say anything, just looked at Uncle Yun straight. Uncle Yun felt guilty when he was looked at, so he gave up.
"Okay, okay, I'm envious. I'm envious, okay?"
Su Mianmian was afraid to mention Uncle Yun’s sad story, so she poked Shen Yuandao. Shen Yuandao nodded and continued to do his own thing.
"There's no point in being envious. After all, you're old and can't find a wife."
After saying that, he calmly picked up a piece of vermicelli with chopsticks and gave it to Su Mianmian.
"Hey! Who are you teasing, you little brat? How could your uncle be so handsome and dashing that no one wants him?"
Uncle Yun said this with a vicious mouthful of rice, saying as he ate, "I'm your elder after all, and you bought me some candied haws instead of me? And your dad and your grandpa too."
Shen Yuandao raised his eyelids and said, "Why would a grown man eat candied haws?"
Uncle Yun was choked by him.
Grandpa Yun gloated on the side, "Hey Aji, you can never win an argument with him, why do you bother him?"
Yun Sheng echoed, "Dad, big brother is like this: the more you face setbacks, the more courage you gain."
Uncle Yun glared at his sister and said unhappily, "Eat, eat! This brat only knows how to challenge his uncle. He has no respect for elders at all."
Hearing Uncle Yun say this, little Ayan raised his head from his bowl and said, "Brother-in-law, the spareribs made by Uncle Yun are delicious, just as delicious as the ones made by my sister."
Shen Yuandao nodded, his uncle's cooking was indeed good.
After dinner, several people sat with Grandpa Yun for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
Grandpa Yun held little Ayan's hand reluctantly, "Little Ayan, come to grandpa's house often to play in the future, okay?"
"Okay."
Yun Sheng: "Okay, Dad, we'll leave first. When Yuanqing comes back, we'll come to see you together."
Grandpa Yun said cheerfully, "Okay, go back. I understand, old man."
Grandpa Yun remembered something and looked at Shen Yuan who was supporting Su Mianmian. "Oh, Xiao Yuan, you little brat, take good care of Mian Mian. If anything happens to my great-grandson, I'll hold you responsible."
Shen Yuan said: "Don't worry, my daughter-in-law can't be taken care of by others if I don't take care of her myself."
Old Master Yun kicked him and said, "Get lost, you little bastard, your mouth can make people angry to death."
"Sheng'er, next time you come back, don't bring that brat Xiaoyuan with you. If he comes, your father will lose two years of his life."
Uncle Yun also echoed, "That's right, sister, don't bring it."
Yun Sheng smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll listen to Dad and brother. Let's go!"
…
When they got home, Yun Sheng pointed upstairs and said, "Ayuan, take Mianmian to see where you live. It's the room you used to live in. I filled it with some things."
After saying that, she took little Ayan's hand and said, "Come on, Ayan, I'll show you your room."
The little guy looked at her at first and said, "But auntie, Ayan has to go home to see his grandparents at night."
After saying that, he turned back to look at Su Mianmian, "Isn't that right, sister?"
Su Mianmian saw Yun Sheng's expectant eyes. She had agreed yesterday to stay here today, and she had told her grandparents when she came.
"Ah Yan, we'll stay here today and take you to see your grandparents tomorrow, okay?"
Little Ayan nodded after hearing this, still listening to his sister's words, "Wherever sister is, Ayan will be there."
After saying that, he took Yun Sheng's hand and said, "Let's go, Auntie."
After the big and small went upstairs, Shen Yuandao said hello to Shen Junhong and took Su Mianmian to the room.
After a tiring day today, Su Mianmian didn't even bother to look at the layout of the room when she entered the room, and collapsed directly on the bed.
"Tired?" Shen Yuandao touched her head.
Su Mianmian nodded obediently and closed her eyes.
Shen Yuandao poked her face, chuckled, and went out. Soon he came in with a washbasin, then wet a towel and walked to the bed to wipe Su Mianmian's face.
Su Mianmian sensed something and opened her eyes. Shen Yuandao touched her head and comforted her, "Just sleep well, I'll wipe your face."
Su Mianmian heard him say this in a daze, so she closed her eyes and ignored him.
Shen Yuandao wiped it gently, the temperature was just right, and Su Mianmian hummed comfortably.
After helping to wipe her face, he also wiped Su Mianmian's hands.
Shen Yuandao looked at Su Mianmian who was already fast asleep and chuckled again. He helped her take off her shoes, covered her with a blanket, and then left the room.
When Shen Yuandao finished washing up and returned to the room, Su Mianmian had changed her sleeping position and was sleeping soundly.
Shen Yuandao looked at her sleeping face with an unspeakably gentle look in his eyes. He climbed onto the bed carefully, lifted the quilt and lay down in it.
