At 4:50 in the afternoon, Yun Muye stood at the entrance of the kindergarten waiting for Xiao Tangyuan to finish school. Most of the people who came with him to pick up their children were mothers and grandmothers. He, a grown man, stood out among the crowd.
At five o'clock, the teacher led the children out of the classroom. Yun Shuang saw him at a glance, raised her hand high and waved with a smile. Yun Muye nodded to indicate that he saw her. Yun Shuang curled her lips, put down her hand and concentrated on looking at the children.
Little Tangyuan was in another teacher's group, walking out hand in hand with the other children. When he looked up, he saw Yun Muye not far away, and he jumped up happily, showing off to his good friend.
"That's my dad. My dad is here to pick me up!"
Yun Muye waved at little Tangyuan, signaling him to be quiet. Little Tangyuan happily covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
Tangyuan's new friend is called Xiaodoudou. Xiaodoudou said enviously:
"Wow! Little Tangyuan, your dad has grown so tall! As tall as Little Baiyang."
Little Tangyuan raised his head proudly, "Of course, my dad is the tallest in our family. But when I grow up, I will be the tallest in our family!"
The teacher stood at the door, waiting for the parents to come one by one. When it was Tangyuan's turn, he jumped up. Yun Muye picked him up and pinched his chubby little face. Tangyuan excitedly stuck his butt out in his father's arms and arched his back left and right like a little pig.
“Dad! Dad!”
"Behave yourself!" Yun Muye slapped him lightly on the butt. Yun Shuang put down the baby in her arms and ran over to talk to Yun Muye.
"Brother, why are you here to pick up the kids today? Where's our mom?"
"Mom is not feeling well, please rest at home."
Yunshuang frowned, very worried.
"Are you feeling unwell? Have you gone to the infirmary? I'll go back and see her."
"No, don't you have to go for training soon?"
"But Mom..."
"It's okay as long as I'm here."
"Okay, I'll go home as soon as I'm done."
Yun Muye walked out holding the little Tangyuan.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Go to the courthouse to pick up your mother from get off work."
Little Tangyuan jumped up happily again, squatting with his little butt. Yun Muye grabbed him with both hands.
"Behave yourself!"
"Hey! Dad, I want to get down and run by myself."
Yun Muye put him down and untied the small schoolbag on him. Little Tangyuan ran forward with his arms open, and Yun Muye quickened his pace to catch up with him.
"Run slower."
"We have to hurry and pick up Mom. What if she's off work?"
"Don't worry, your mother doesn't get off work until six."
Little Tangyuan held his father's hand and skipped forward.
"Dad, I learned a new song in kindergarten today. I want to sing it to you!"
"Okay." Yun Muye raised his eyebrows with interest. It was the first time he heard his son sing. Little Tangyuan pretended to clear his throat and started singing.
"Gibberish..."
Yun Muye: “…”
He was wrong. He shouldn't have had any hope for his son's singing. After Tangyuan finished singing, he looked up at his father with sparkling eyes, longing for his father's praise.
Yun Muye's mouth twitched, and he praised him against his conscience.
"Good! Great!"
"Really! Dad, I'm going to sing it to Mom later. She's sure to be very happy."
Yun Muye considered his words carefully and advised, "Son, your mother is very tired after a day's work. Don't sing to her anymore. Let her rest."
"Okay!" Little Tangyuan lowered his head in disappointment. After a while, he became excited again.
"Dad, let me sing for you!"
Yun Muye laughed dryly and said, "Thank you, son."
Little Tangyuan started singing again with his hoarse voice.
“Wuwuwuwu… Oh oh oh oh… Ahhhhh… La la la la…”
Yun Muye: “…”
Along the way, listening to his son's beautiful singing, the father and son came to where Gu Zhinian worked. There was a roasted sweet potato vendor on the roadside. Little Tangyuan pulled his father to eat the roasted sweet potato, and counted with his little fingers.
"One for grandma, one for mom, one for dad, one for little aunt, and dad, buy four roasted sweet potatoes in total."
Yun Muye patted his head lovingly, "Do you want to eat the little glutinous rice balls?"
"Ah! Yes! I want to eat it!" Little Tangyuan grinned happily, shook his head and laughed.
"Then calculate how many baked sweet potatoes we should buy in total?"
The old man selling roasted sweet potatoes smiled and packed five roasted sweet potatoes and handed them to Yun Muye. Yun Muye paid and saw that the little Tangyuan lowered his head, opened his little fleshy hands, and counted his fingers in distress.
"One, two, three, four, five!"
Little Tangyuan raised his head, his eyes shining like little stars.
"Five! Dad, I figured it out. We need to buy five baked sweet potatoes!"
Yun Muye curled his lips into a smile, took out a roasted sweet potato from the bag, peeled it, and put it to his mouth.
"Little glutinous rice balls are awesome! Here, I'll give you a sweet potato as a reward."
The little glutinous rice dumpling lowered its head and took a bite. It was sweet and sticky. It squinted its eyes happily.
"Dad, the sweet potatoes are delicious. I want more next time!"
"Okay, Dad will buy it for you next time you come."
Little Tangyuan smiled and looked at the old man selling roasted sweet potatoes.
"Grandpa, your roasted sweet potatoes are delicious. I love them! Thank you, Grandpa."
The old man was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"The little kid is so good."
Little Tangyuan lowered his head and ate the roasted sweet potato in big mouthfuls. The old man looked at him kindly. After he finished one, the old man took another one out of the oven and gave it to him.
"Little kid, this is the roasted sweet potato that Grandpa rewards you with."
Yun Muye quickly pushed it back, "Old man, no, I still have some."
