There was quite a stir on the day Gu Xiaobao was discharged from the hospital. Gu Xiaobao was a cute and well-behaved person, and his mother had an ominous background, so people in the hospital were more or less concerned about Gu Xiaobao. People who were free in the building either came to help move things or to ask Xiaobao about his well-being. Su Nianmei also recovered some of her favorability.
Now when she goes out of the yard, there are still a few people who are willing to greet her cheerfully.
Su Nianmei lived a routine of practicing at seven in the morning and rushing home to cook for Xiaobao at noon. Every day at around eight o'clock, I would meet Xiao Fang bringing me food. No matter how hard I asked, the kid refused to tell me where the food came from. Judging from his hesitant look, I could guess that it was Gu Xichao who did it.
The only strange thing was that Gu Xichao might have been tired from training recently. He went out early and came back late. After returning, he always fell asleep immediately and didn't have anything to say to her.
But this is also good, she hasn't figured out how to deal with her relationship with Gu Xichao. Although she lived to the age of 28 in her previous life, she was still an ignorant girl, almost a leftover woman, and had never even had a boyfriend. Now she was married and she couldn't adapt to the new role all of a sudden.
If we were to summarize the reasons why Su Nianmei was single in her previous life, we could actually count out a few.
The first is that she is such a fairy. Every day after work, she lies on the bed and watches TV series. When she has nothing to do, she goes back to her old house to drink tea and chat with a few old men and women. She lives a life that is almost out of touch with the world. Her social circle is so small, and the few friends she makes friends with have become brothers.
The second reason is that I was forced by my job. I took the exam to become a civil servant in the provincial capital. I work five days a week and have two days off, so I have fewer holidays. The people I deal with are all shrewd people. The entire local tax bureau is like a house of cards. I don't want to deal with anyone after work.
The third is that the requirements for choosing a spouse are too idealistic. She grew up reading fairy tales, listening to love stories of princes and princesses every night. When she grew up, she became addicted to reading all kinds of romance novels, fantasizing that her significant other would come to her on a colorful cloud. Later I found that in reality, there are very few people who are not too far behind in age, have good conditions in all aspects, and are not bald.
After entering the society, I found that love is too dull. Sometimes it breaks without any waves, just like the bubbles that a mermaid turns into, which disappear when blown. Not to mention having a stable and reliable marriage.
Now I am away from the secular world every day. Although my life is not as comfortable as before, it is still very comfortable to play with my children when I have nothing to do.
On the third day before the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, Ma Fang came to inform her that a Mid-Autumn Festival mobilization meeting would be held in the evening.
The location was chosen to be a large open space in the middle of the compound. The group gathered at around seven in the evening. The family members of each household who were accompanying the troops sat on the open space with a small stool. The more lively children gathered together to play, while a few more introverted ones clung to the adults, almost sticking to them. The family members chatted in the yard and talked about life.
It will take some time for Gu Xiaobao to recover from his injury. Su Nianmei felt sorry for him and had not planned to let him go out into the yard to blow the cold wind, but she couldn't leave the child alone at home so late at night.
Su Nianmei rummaged through the closet and pulled out a bright red scarf that belonged to the original owner. She wrapped it around Gu Xiaobao's neck again and again, leaving only his two peach blossom eyes exposed.
There is still a circle of gauze wrapped around the little bun's head, and now from a distance he looks like a big-headed doll. She was carrying a small army green cloth bag on her shoulder, and her little hands were squeezing the bag again and again.
Her head dropped down, revealing a soft and cute profile, with her eyelashes still hanging on her eyes, flickering.
Recently I make a sugar-water egg for Gu Xiaobao every day, and I can vaguely see that the child has gained a little weight. The arms, which were originally fleshy, now have some bulges and sections, and they feel very good when poked.
Su Nianmei looked at the little bun and wanted to pounce on him and kiss him twice, but she held back when she thought of her identity.
She is a good mother and should take the lead.
Su Nianmei glanced down and saw that Xiaobao was still wearing the same pair of army green shoes. She felt a little overwhelmed and was wondering when she should get a new pair of shoes for the child.
In this weather, single shoes can still last for a while, but after a while, I'm afraid you'll get frostbite on your feet.
When we arrived at the venue, most people were already seated. There were only a few places on the outer edge left, and Su Nianmei didn't bother to be picky. She moved the stool and sat down, hugging Gu Xiaobao in her arms.
Su Nianmei glanced around and saw that there were no familiar people around. She put one arm around Gu Xiaobao and used the other hand to restlessly pinch the tip of Gu Xiaobao's nose from time to time.
Gu Xiaobao giggled as he lay in Su Nianmei's arms, pinching and releasing her arms.
The calves were bouncing in the air, and the white and tender thumbs were exposed from time to time.
Su Nianmei frowned a little more.
The restlessness of the crowd gradually calmed down. Su Nianmei raised her head and saw a middle-aged woman with short hair standing in the middle. It was Director Liu who had introduced the job to her before.
Director Liu was standing in the crowd, and he was also someone who could shock the crowd. After two or three words, the crowd quieted down.
The wind was whistling, and Su Nianmei hugged Gu Xiaobao a little tighter. The wind blew on her back, chilling her to the bone.
Su Nianmei somehow thought of the wound on Gu Xichao's back again. It looked quite serious at the time, and she didn't know how it is now.
As she thought about it, she felt the air was a little hot, and the air lingering around her seemed to be filled with his scent. Gu Xichao was different from everyone she had met before.
He is a soldier, a hero, who can carry the world on his shoulders for others. He is also a young man, who is domineering yet shy when facing her.
At the age of twenty-eight, she is mature yet immature. Like a cup of the finest tea, it tempted her to taste it bit by bit.
She could no longer hear what the people around her were saying, her heart was pounding.
She thought of the way he looked at her when they first met, his military uniform neatly tied, his eyes seemed to be full of stars, and her ears inexplicably felt burning.
It wasn't until Gu Xiaobao twisted and turned in her arms that she came to her senses.
When she returned to the room and the man next to her pulled open the quilt and spread it on the floor, Su Nianmei lay sideways on the bed.
The bright eyes stared straight at Gu Xichao.
Gu Xichao felt something was strange, so he lay down on the ground. He carefully held a small note in his pocket with his two fingers to prevent the sweat from his palms from getting it wet. He restrained himself and slowly closed his eyes.
The man was lying on the ground, his long legs curled up with nowhere to put. Su Nianmei looked at him and saw that the man's lips were slightly pursed in the moonlight, revealing a profile that made people feel that he had lived a peaceful life.
A gust of wind blew by, and the man licked his lips.
He heard—
"Well, if the ground is cold, just sleep on it."
It drifted in the wind, the sound so low that it was almost a buzz.
However, Gu Xichao still heard it and turned back.
The person on the bed curled up in the quilt, leaving only a small head sticking out with slightly red cheeks.
After a while, Su Nianmei found that there was still no movement nearby, so she wrapped herself in the quilt and crawled into the bed a few times, wrapping herself like a cicada pupa and huddled in the corner.
Then he mustered up his courage and said loudly, "Gu, Gu Xichao, come up."
There was a rustling noise around her. Su Nianmei narrowed her eyes slightly and her exposed head swayed slightly.
Gu Xichao looked at her. She was like a cat, so bold in front of strangers, but timid when she returned home.
Gu Xichao dragged the quilt onto the bed. The cicada pupa in the corner moved, turned over with difficulty, and moved towards the edge of the bed.
——It was about to reach the ground.
His fingertips lightly touched the ends of Su Nianmei's hair, then suddenly retracted.
He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and he didn't know why a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He took out the note Su Nianmei had written to him from his pocket, turned it over and over again, and moved it from the palm of his hand to the bed. The man frowned, still a little dissatisfied. He moved it a few more times and finally put it under the pillow, neatly placed, as if it was pressed into his heart.
Then close your eyes and fall asleep.
Su Nianmei listened to the steady breathing of the person next to her.
I was reminded of Mu Xin’s poem “Life Was Slow In The Past”.
In the past, transportation was slow, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person.
Love is probably meeting the right person at the right time. Even though it is autumn, it feels like spring is coming.
The author has something to say: The storm is crying! The relationship between Gu Su and his wife is finally on the right track~
Quoted from Mr. Mu Xin's "Life Was Slow Back Then".
I remember when I was a teenager
Everyone is sincere
Say one word at a time
Train station early in the morning
The long street is dark and empty
The soy milk shop is steaming
The days before have become slower
Cars, horses, and mail are all slow
A lifetime is only enough to love one person
The locks from before were also beautiful
The key is exquisite and looks good
If you lock it, people will understand.
