Xiao Tangyuan pushed her away, straightened his messy hair, and said seriously:
"Master, don't mess up my hair. Also, I'm grown up now, so don't hug me anymore."
Wang Beibei challenged:
"Haha, little brat, I'll hug you! If you don't agree, hit me!"
Little Tangyuan replied seriously: "Master, sooner or later I will surpass you!"
"Okay! I'll wait." Wang Beibei smiled indifferently.
All the things on the plane were put into the car. Gu Zhinian and Yun Muye drove two cars, one for the things and one for the people. Gu Zhinian talked while driving.
"I'll book a private room at the hotel and we'll go have dinner."
"Okay!" Wang Beibei was very excited when she returned to the mainland. No matter what Gu Zhinian said, she agreed.
Six people had a reunion dinner in a private room, with laughter and joy. Wang Beibei asked Xiao Tangyuan,
"I've been away for so long, you haven't been lazy, have you?"
"No!" said little Tangyuan, "Master can check tomorrow to see if I have made any progress!"
"OK!"
The next day, the two got up early and went jogging together. After coming back from jogging, Wang Beibei stared at Xiao Tangyuan practicing.
"Not bad! That's progress!"
Little Tangyuan was praised by his master and was full of confidence. He practiced day after day, never stopping no matter it was windy or rainy.
Time passed slowly, and it was June 1997.
On TV and in newspapers, the news of Hong Kong's return was being broadcast everywhere. On this day, Yun Muye returned home wearing a brand new military uniform and excitedly announced the good news to Gu Zhinian.
"Zhi Nian, I've been chosen by the higher-ups to be stationed in Gang City and take over the Gang City troops. You and Xiao Tangyuan, as my family members, can come with me."
Gu Zhinian hugged him excitedly, "Really? My husband is so great!"
In recent years, Yun Muye was promoted to division commander because of his outstanding performance. This time, his superiors were selecting soldiers for the Hong Kong garrison, and Yun Muye, who was tall, handsome, and had strong psychological qualities, was also in the queue.
At noon, Xiao Tangyuan came home from school and saw his mother happily cooking in the kitchen. He walked into the kitchen with doubts.
"Mom, what good thing happened to you? You look so happy."
Gu Zhinian looked back at him. His fifteen-year-old son was tall and handsome. He was wearing a clean white sweatshirt and blue jeans, holding a basketball in his hands. His handsome eyebrows and eyes still showed his childhood appearance.
"I won't tell you!"
Gu Zhinian smiled loudly. Yun Muye opened the door, carrying a bottle of soy sauce in his hand, and walked to the kitchen.
"I bought the soy sauce!"
The three of them were crowded in the kitchen. Little Tangyuan walked out of the kitchen and turned back to say:
"Mom, I want to eat boiled beef."
Gu Zhinian nodded in agreement in a good mood, "Okay, ride your bike to the nearby market to buy two pounds of beef, and I'll cook it for you when you come back!"
"Okay!" Little Tangyuan took out a piece of money from the drawer and went out with a basketball in his arms. The young man on the bicycle was full of vigor and energy. The old neighbor who passed by greeted him.
"Little Tangyuan, where are you going?"
"I'm going to buy some meat!" Little Tangyuan turned around and shouted.
"Grandma Wang, I'm grown up now. Don't call me Little Tangyuan anymore. My name is Yunnan Xian."
The white-haired Grandma Wang said with a smile:
"Who is Yunnan Xian? I only recognize Little Tangyuan. You looked like a glutinous rice dumpling when you were little. Don't mention how adorable you were!"
Little Tangyuan sighed, put his long legs on the pedals, and rode his bicycle to the nearby market to buy meat. Little Tangyuan often helped his mother buy vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The uncles and aunts in the market all knew him. It can be said that they watched little Tangyuan grow up.
"Little Tangyuan is here again, what do you want to buy this time?"
Xiao Tangyuan stopped his bicycle at the beef stall.
"Uncle, I want two pounds of beef."
"Okay! I'll weigh it for you."
The man selling beef cut two pounds of beef for him.
"That's twelve dollars."
Xiao Tangyuan took out twelve yuan and gave it to him, picked up the beef and went home. On the way, they met Gu Juan and Wang Beibei who came to eat. Gu Juan's son Gu Yunfan jumped off the bike and jumped onto his brother's bike.
"Dad, Mom, I want to go with Xiao Tangyuan."
"Okay!" Gu Juan rolled down the car window, waved goodbye to the two brothers, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
"Gu Pangpang, you're drowning!"
Eight-year-old Gu Yunfan tilted his head and said, "I'm not fat, don't call me Fatty Gu!"
"Then you are not allowed to call me Little Tangyuan!"
Ever since he could talk, Gu Yunfan has been chasing after him every day, calling him "Little Tangyuan" in a baby voice. Little Tangyuan just refused to call him brother. Little Tangyuan corrected him many times, but Gu Yunfan still stubbornly called him "Little Tangyuan". Little Tangyuan couldn't get angry, so he called him "Gu Fatty".
