When Zhang Pingping was mopping the floor, she accidentally bumped into the crib, causing it to shake slightly. The little Tangyuan, who had been holding his clenched fists on both sides of his head, stretched out his fists, pouted, and seemed to be about to cry.
Gu Zhinian hurriedly put down his notebook, picked up the child, patted him gently, and hummed a nursery rhyme. Zhang Pingping lowered her head and walked out slowly.
The nurse came in with a bowl of steamed apples and placed them on the table. "Your husband has ordered a set of confinement meals from the cafeteria. We will prepare and deliver all your meals during the confinement period. Start with a snack, a steamed apple."
"Thank you." Gu Zhinian put the child down, stretched out his fingers to touch the bowl, and immediately pulled them back. It was so hot!
Gu Zhinian sat on the bed, turned her head to look at the steamed apple, and smiled. This was considered as her living in a confinement center. There were nurses to take care of her, and her husband would wash diapers and take care of the child. She only needed to lie in bed and take care of her body.
After eating a steamed apple, Yun Muye carried the basin into the house and closed the door. Gu Zhinian smiled and said:
"I just finished eating a steamed apple. You asked the cafeteria to prepare confinement meals for me every day. It must have cost a lot of money."
"You should spend what you need to spend. I'm a grown man with rough hands and feet. I don't know how to take care of you. If you eat well, you will be healthy. I will also be at ease. It's worth it no matter how much money I spend."
Yun Muye put down the basin, took a towel to wipe his hands, sat next to the stool and looked at the baby. Gu Zhinian smiled and hooked his finger.
"Dad, come here."
Yun Muye looked at her with a puzzled look, "What's wrong?"
"Come here." Gu Zhinian's heart was bubbling with happiness, and she wanted to kiss her innocent boy.
Yun Muye sat over, and Gu Zhinian threw herself into his arms, hooked her arms around his neck, pressed her lips against his cool and soft lips, and bit them lightly. Yun Muye was stunned for a moment, pinched her slender waist with one hand, and held her head with the other hand, pressing her close, sucking uncontrollably, and the two gradually became addicted to it.
"Wow wow wow wow wow wow!"
Little Tangyuan kicked his legs hard, twisted his body left and right, and cried loudly with his eyes closed. The two people who were immersed in sweetness suddenly opened their eyes. Gu Zhinian pushed him away regretfully and tried to coax the child in a hurry. Yun Muye took the rattle and shook it to coax him.
"Is he hungry again?"
Gu Zhinian put the child on the bed and lifted the quilt to check.
"I just finished feeding, less than an hour ago, maybe I peed!"
Gu Zhinian changed the baby's wet diaper. The baby stopped crying and put his hand in his mouth to suck on it. Yun Muye supported himself on the bed with his hands, bent over and teased him.
"It's so small, how long will it take to grow up?"
Gu Zhinian smiled and said, "Why should we wait for him to grow up? When he grows up, he will leave us day by day. Isn't it better to let him accompany us slowly?"
"Okay." Yun Muye gently picked up the baby and looked down at him gently. "I will be a good father and accompany him as he grows up."
The Chinese New Year is only two months away. The festive atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger on the streets, and the sound of firecrackers outside the houses can be heard one after another.
Gu Zhinian was still in confinement after giving birth. She was holding her son on the windowsill at night, watching others set off fireworks. Yun Muye hugged her from behind.
"I'll go out and buy you some fireworks tomorrow, and we'll set them off in the yard when you're out of confinement, okay?"
"No need! I'll just watch what others put in there. Don't waste money."
Gu Zhinian knew that Yun Muye must have spent a lot of money on the confinement period, and since she would have to raise a child in the future, she had to save money where she could. Yun Muye didn't want to let her down.
"fine."
Gu Zhinian took out the thousand yuan that Yun Muye had given him from under his pillow.
"Here's some money. You spent a lot of money on my confinement this time. Take it."
"No need! I have money, really!" Yun Muye pulled a handful of money from his pocket. "I've made a lot of money during my years as a soldier and on missions. I eat and live in the army, so I don't spend money on weekdays. My family doesn't need me, so I've saved quite a bit of money."
Gu Zhinian pursed his lips and took back the money. "If you need money, tell me and I'll give it to you."
"good."
Yun Muye asked her, "What flavor of candy do you like? I'll buy some tomorrow."
Gu Zhinian thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy some peanut nougat. I don't like hard fruit candies. Also, buy me a string of candied haws."
The candied haws at this time are natural and additive-free, and are most delicious with their sour and sweet taste.
"Okay." Yun Muye silently took note of what she said.
Early the next morning, Yun Muye changed the child's diaper, put on a thick military coat, put on a hat, and went out to buy things.
After finishing the meal, Gu Zhinian held his son and walked back and forth to coax him. When it was almost ten o'clock, heavy snow suddenly fell outside, but Yun Muye had not returned yet. Gu Zhinian was a little worried. He walked back and forth holding his son, his eyes fixed on the window.
"It's snowing so heavily, why haven't you come back yet?"
At around eleven o'clock, Gu Zhinian looked down from the windowsill and saw a man wearing a thick military green coat, holding a pile of things in his hands, walking hurriedly into the hall with his head lowered in the heavy snow.
After a while, Yun Muye opened the door, holding a string of candied haws in his hand, and raised his lips, "Zhi Nian, I'm back!"
Gu Zhinian put his son down, walked over to him, and took off his military coat. "Why is it snowing so heavily outside? You haven't come back yet, and I'm so worried."
"Give you candied haws."
Yun Muye put down the things and handed over the candied haws in his hand. Because it was snowing heavily, the vendor selling candied haws was in a hurry to go home. Yun Muye chased him in the heavy snow for a long time before catching up with him. He bought a string of candied haws, but was afraid that Gu Zhinian would worry, so he hurried back.
Gu Zhinian took the candied haws and passed it to him, asking him to take a bite first. Yun Muye refused and said:
"I don't like eating this, you eat it."
"Take a bite! Try it!" Gu Zhinian handed it over again. Yun Muye lowered his head and took a small bite. It was a little sour, but more sweet. Gu Zhinian ate a hawthorn in the same place where he bit.
It was icy, cool, sour and sweet, and tasted so good. Gu Zhinian squinted his eyes, and Yun Muye held his son and coaxed him. Gu Zhinian sat on the bed, swinging his legs slightly, eating the candied haws one bite at a time, and opened a peanut nougat and put it in his mouth. It was so sweet.
Gu Zhinian turned his head to look at the heavy snow outside the window, which was getting heavier. He turned around and saw Yun Muye and his son, and hummed a song in a comfortable mood.
"Sweet, your smile is sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze..."
Little Tangyuan fell asleep to the sound of his mother's happy singing.
Heavy snow fell for half a month in a row, and snow disasters occurred frequently in various places. The sanatorium was also trapped, and the road out was blocked. Gu Zhinian, who had already finished her confinement, still could not go out, and Yun Muye was trapped in the sanatorium with her.

Gu Juan's partner brought him an exciting piece of news. At the Civil Affairs Bureau, he found out that Gu Zhinian had just registered his marriage with someone. However, due to heavy snow, the roads were blocked and there was no way to find out where Gu Zhinian lived.
