Su Nianmei and Gu Xichao walked side by side. The wind gently caressed the ends of her hair. She was wearing Gu Xichao's coat, which was a little big and hung loosely on her body, making her look like a child who had stolen adult clothes.
Su Nianmei's steps were slightly slower, and Gu Xichao also adjusted her speed. Under the night light, the two figures jumped back and forth.
The two of them tacitly kept silent, but the atmosphere was unusually harmonious.
Gu Xichao's fingers quietly moved towards Su Nianmei, once, twice, three times.
Su Nianmei's fingers moved, and Gu Xichao's fingers suddenly retracted when they were about to reach Su Nianmei's fingers.
The redness on the ears under the military cap has not yet faded.
Gu Xichao glanced into the distance with an unnatural look on his face. He touched the tip of his nose with his right hand, looked at the moon in the distance, and said awkwardly, "The weather is pretty good tonight."
Su Nianmei followed his gaze and saw the sky in the distance was dark blue, with patches of clouds that were distant and deep.
"Yes, it's beautiful."
Gu Xichao suddenly felt warmth in his palms. The small and soft fingertips covered his palm, and he slightly clasped his fingers together, his heart seeming to be filled with honey.
With a smile on my face, I walk home with the person dear to my heart.
Most people went to watch the fun, and the courtyard building was a little deserted for a while. Several lights were turned on, and theirs finally felt like home.
Su Nianmei walked in front, and Gu Xichao followed behind, and the two of them went up the stairs hand in hand.
Gu Xiaobao stood behind the door, holding a bunch of flowers in his hand. The pale white petals exuded a faint fragrance.
Gu Xiaobao stretched out his little mouth and blew the petals from time to time. He felt a little nervous inside. The two little fingers holding the flowers touched each other tightly. The words that Gu Xichao taught him were running through his mind -
Mom, you are awesome, flowers are for you.
The words kept muting and spinning in his mind—
Mother--
With a creak, the door opened.
As soon as Su Nianmei entered the door, she was blocked by flowers. Gu Xiaobao was standing at the door, pushing the flowers into his arms with his two little hands, muttering something in a low voice.
Stuffing the flower into Su Nianmei's arms, Gu Xiaobao took a few steps back and said in a loud voice, "Mom! The flower is really fat, I give it to you!"
Su Nianmei didn't react at first. Gu Xichao walked in, pinched her son's face which had become a little round in recent days, and chuckled. “Can flowers get fat?”
Gu Xiaobao also felt something was wrong at this time. His two little feet jumped back and forth on the ground, and his little hands were pulling the soft hair on his head. "No, no. Is it --, Mom?"
Su Nianmei found Gu Xiaobao's conflicted look very cute. She was afraid that the little guy would accidentally make her hair bald, so she was about to go up and hug him.
Gu Xiaobao's jumping feet suddenly stopped, his eyes sparkling, and he pointed his little finger at Su Nianmei, "I know! It's mom, you're really fat!"
Su Nianmei's steps forward seemed to be moving backwards, but the smile on her lips widened.
Gu Xichao looked straight at Su Nianmei, took out a ten-centimeter-long small cylindrical object from his pocket, gently pressed the switch, and a small stream of liquid spurted out from it.
Su Nianmei took a long time to read the words clearly: "In order to congratulate Comrade Xiao Su for his outstanding performance at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, I and my son Gu Xiaobao present a bouquet of Grant flowers to encourage him!"
Gu Xichao nodded and said concisely, "Congratulations!"
Su Nianmei smiled and said, "Thank you, Captain Gu!"
Su Nianmei hugged the flowers in her arms tighter and sniffed the fragrance. It turned out that the feeling of home was so warm.
At night, Gu Xiaobao insisted on sleeping with them, but Gu Xichao disagreed. Gu Xiaobao arrogantly urged Gu Xichao to go to his room and find himself a new set of clothes.
After Gu Xichao left, Gu Xiaobao quietly shrank into Su Nianmei's arms, put his arms around Su Nianmei's waist, and whispered, "Mom, I want to tell you a little secret!"
Su Nianmei also answered in a low voice, "What?"
Gu Xiaobao lifted his small body up and leaned close to Su Nianmei's ear and said, "I like you!" Then, while Su Nianmei wasn't paying attention, he quietly kissed her on the cheek.
Su Nianmei rubbed Gu Xiaobao's little nose, and Gu Xiaobao rolled around on the bed happily.
After a while, he said with a reluctant look, "Dad, actually I like you too." Gu Xiaobao leaned in Su Nianmei's arms, crossed his legs, stretched out his hand to pull the little ball of fur on his autumn pants, and said in a mature tone, "Actually, Dad is a very good person. He even climbed up the mountain to pick this flower for you. It's so cold and windy."
Su Nianmei patted Gu Xiaobao lightly, with a smile on her face.
Gu Xichao walked in holding a set of Gu Xiaobao's small woolen clothes.
Gu Xiaobao raised his nostrils, his small toes danced lightly, and every pore on his body expressed resistance.
She simply buried her face in Su Nianmei's arms, with her butt facing Gu Xichao, and mumbled, "I don't want to wear green!"
Gu Xichao pinched the corner of the clothes and threw them onto Gu Xiaobao's head with great accuracy.
Gu Xiaobao died.
That night, the three of them slept in each other's arms.
When she got up early, Su Nianmei cleaned the house inside and out, and found a small vase to put the flowers from last night in.
The tender green leaves become more beautiful when in contact with water.
A while ago, a lot of eggs were delivered. Su Nianmei spread the eggs into pancakes, one for Gu Xiaobao and one for herself. After dinner, she sent Gu Xiaobao to school and brought the pancakes to Gu Xichao to order.
Xiao Fang was standing at the door. He saw his sister-in-law coming towards him from a distance with something in her hands, and he went up to greet her with a sly look on his face.
He shouted in a loud voice, "Sister-in-law, come and see Captain Gu!"
Su Nianmei nodded and handed the food to Xiao Fang. "Thanks to all of you for taking care of me recently, I made some food today to show my appreciation."
Xiao Fang took it swiftly, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear, "Sister-in-law, since you're here, why are you still being polite? Don't you know that the song you sang last night was so damn good?"
A gentle-looking young man walked out from the inner room and glanced at Xiao Fang. Xiao Fang was a decent-looking man, but how could he be so unruly?
Fang Zheng saw the person coming, holding a lunch box in one hand and putting his other hand directly around his neck, still smiling, "Sister-in-law, let me introduce you, this is Fu Wen, the newly transferred squad leader of the second squad of the first battalion. This guy listened to your song last night and was so excited that he couldn't sleep."
Su Nianmei glanced at the young man with her eyes downcast. Her exposed fingers were long and slender, and it was obvious that they were a pair of hands suitable for playing the piano.
Fu Wen, whose throat was strangled by fate, choked twice and finally recovered. "The song is very nice."
Su Nianmei replied, "Thank you."
Fang Zheng pulled the person into the house and opened the lunch box impatiently.
There were eight rolled egg pancakes inside, with a small dish of chili sauce in the middle. “This looks delicious!”
Su Nianmei looked at Fang Zheng with hopeful eyes.
Fang Zheng picked up a piece of bread, dipped it in hot sauce and stuffed it into Fu Wen's mouth.
The young man's face suddenly turned red.
Fang Zheng patted Fu Wen's shoulder and said, "It's delicious, don't be so shy." Then he stuffed a piece into his mouth.
I instantly felt something was wrong!
The pancake is still the same pancake, but the taste is sweet at first, and then becomes very spicy, as if the whole mouth is burning.
oh! What a damn smell!
Gu Xichao walked in and saw that Fang Zheng and Fu Wen looked a little strange. "What are you doing?"
Su Nianmei: "I'll bring you some pancakes."
Gu Xichao walked forward and took one as well.
Fang Zheng's eyes widened and he kept shaking his head slightly to signal the battalion commander not to eat. He stuffed a pancake in his mouth and stammered, unable to speak.
Gu Xichao stuffed the pancake into his mouth, chewing it slowly, with an expression that showed he was enjoying it very much.
Fang Zheng wondered if he had tasted the wrong thing, so he stirred it with his tongue and swallowed it in one gulp.
With a gulp, he looked all over the world for water.
Gu Xichao swallowed the pancake and looked at Su Nianmei, saying lovingly, "It's delicious."
Su Nianmei: "I will continue to do it for you in the future."
Gu Xichao: "Hmm"
Fang Zheng, who was searching the world for water, said: "…I must have opened the pancake in the wrong way."
Su Nianmei was about to leave after delivering the pancakes when she bumped into a man running in anxiously. "Captain Gu, Captain Gu, there's a call from your hometown!"
