The waiter brought a large plate of steamed seafood to the table, a full portion with a small bowl of seasoning. There were mantis shrimp, abalone, lobster, crab, clams, conch, and scallops.
Little Tangyuan hid in his father's arms in fear, "There are so many big bugs, I'm so scared."
Li Yuling laughed at him, "Little Tangyuan is not brave, this is not a bug, it's delicious."
Gu Zhinian peeled open a large lobster and put the meat next to his mouth.
"Try it, it's delicious."
Little Tangyuan covered his mouth and shook his head, lying in his father's arms and refusing to look up, "I don't eat bugs! I don't eat bugs!"
"This isn't a bug, it's a lobster. Take a bite and try it."
"No!" Little Tangyuan covered his mouth tightly and insisted on refusing.
"Okay then!" Gu Zhinian turned his back to him, peeled off the meat from the seafood, and mashed it with a spoon so that his original appearance could not be seen.
"Come, little Tangyuan, it's time to eat."
Little Tangyuan looked at the rotten meat in the bowl and asked warily,
"Mom, what is this?"
"Fish, eat it!" Gu Zhinian scooped a spoonful of seafood meat and fed it into his mouth. The little glutinous rice ball swallowed it in one gulp.
"Is it tasty?"
Little Tangyuan nodded, "The fish is delicious, Mom, I want more!"
Yun Muye chuckled, and Li Yuling leaned back in laughter.
"This little fool!"
Little Tangyuan ate a small bowl of seafood meat without knowing it.
Yun Muye put down the half-eaten glutinous rice balls, took the seafood and chopped it open, put the meat into Gu Zhinian's bowl, and chopped the seafood for Li Yuling to eat.
Seeing that he was still picking up seafood and he hadn't eaten yet, Gu Zhinian put all the meat in his bowl into his bowl.
"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Yun Muye's hands kept moving.
"It's okay, I'll remove all the meat, you don't have to do anything else, just eat it directly."
When the seafood was almost finished, the sweet and sour fish and the fried fish were served on the table. Li Yuling fed the little Tangyuan fish meat. The little Tangyuan asked curiously,
"Grandma, why does this fish taste different from the one just now?"
Li Yuling answered him perfunctorily, "People look different!"
"Oh!" Little Tangyuan ate a lot of fish and was completely full.
After Li Yuling finished eating, she took Xiao Tangyuan out to play, leaving Yun Muye and Gu Zhinian to eat slowly. After eating, Yun Muye drove them to a photo studio.
Gu Zhinian touched the little glutinous rice ball's belly, it was bulging, it looked like it was very full.
"Little Tangyuan, do you want to eat fish next time?"
"Yes!" Little Tangyuan patted his bulging belly, "Yuyu has come into my belly!"
Li Yuling laughed and said, "There's more than just fish in your belly!"
"Ah?" Little Tangyuan blinked his big eyes, not understanding what his grandma was saying.
In front of the photo studio, Yun Muye parked the car, picked up little Tangyuan, and walked into the Haiyan Photo Studio with his mother and daughter-in-law.
The boss was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He welcomed people in with a smile. The store was not big, with two floors. The walls were covered with photos and a row of clothes hung on the side.
"What do you want to take pictures of?"
Yun Muye wanted to take wedding photos with Gu Zhinian and asked Gu Zhinian what he thought. Gu Zhinian pointed to the dark green embroidered cheongsam hanging on the wall.
"I want to wear that cheongsam. It looks better than a wedding dress."
Yun Muye nodded in agreement, and the boss carefully took off the cheongsam.
"I just bought this cheongsam. No one has worn it yet. Many women like to wear cheongsams for photos, so I made up my mind and spent a lot of money to buy it."
Gu Zhinian took the cheongsam in her hands. It was soft, silky, and very heavy.
"I'm going to change."
Gu Zhinian went to the inner room to change out of her cheongsam. Her long hair was tied up behind her head. The dark green cheongsam fit her body softly, showing off her curves. The half sleeves reached above her elbows, and the high stand-up collar tightly wrapped around her slender neck. The woman in the mirror had a slim figure and a rosy face.
Gu Zhinian checked herself in front of the mirror, then gently opened the door and walked out of the fitting room. Yun Muye heard the sound, turned around, and looked at her infatuatedly.
Gu Zhinian walked forward step by step, stopped one meter away from him, and raised the corner of his lips slightly.
"Makino, do I look good in this dress?"
"Beautiful." Yun Muye's heart beat violently, his eyes filled with sticky affection. He unconsciously took a step forward and stretched out his fingers to touch the loose hair on her forehead.
"My wife is the most beautiful." He had a gentle smile on his face and his tone was ambiguous.
Gu Zhinian turned his face to the side, lowered his head and smiled slightly, his face flushed.
Little Tangyuan ran between the two of them, hugged his mother's legs, tilted his head back, and his eyes sparkled.
"Mom is so beautiful!"
Gu Zhinian bent down and pinched his little face with her slender fingers, "Thank you, baby."
Li Yuling also came over and raised her head proudly, "My daughter-in-law is so beautiful. Muye must have been very lucky in his previous life to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law like you."
"Mom, it's not as exaggerated as you say." Gu Zhinian pursed his lips and smiled.
Li Yuling took her hand and said, "Come on, let's take a family photo first, and then you and Makino can take a photo alone."
Li Yuling sat on a stool holding the little glutinous rice ball, while Gu Zhinian and Yun Muye stood behind her. When taking pictures, Gu Zhinian quietly held Yun Muye's hand. Yun Muye turned to look at her, and they smiled at each other.
After taking the photo, Yun Muye sat on a chair wearing a green robe, Gu Zhinian sat on the other side, and little Tangyuan also wore a red robe, with a smile on his little face, holding a yellow ball in his hand, standing between the two of them playing with the ball. The family of three took a photo in the style of the Republic of China.
Yun Muye and Gu Zhinian took a photo alone. Gu Zhinian was sitting on a stool, and Yun Muye was standing behind her with one hand on her thin shoulder.
After the photos were taken, the boss asked people to come and select photos. The family of four were all very good-looking, and every photo taken was very beautiful. Yun Muye asked for two more copies of each photo. After paying, they agreed to pick up the photos three days later.
Gu Zhinian changed out of her cheongsam and saw Yun Muye's reluctant look. She walked over, took his hand, and whispered:
"I can also make cheongsams. When I have time, I'll pick out some nice fabric and make a unique cheongsam. Then I'll wear it for you to see."
"Okay!" Yun Muye raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.
When they walked out of the photo studio, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Yun Muye drove home. Little Tangyuan was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. Gu Zhinian held him in his arms, and Li Yuling took off her coat and covered him with it.
When they were almost at the army, they saw Shen Huaian riding a bicycle on the side of the road. Yun Shuang was sitting behind him. The two of them were talking and laughing. They didn't notice her brother driving past at all. Li Yuling turned her head and looked back.
“This silly girl, she didn’t even see such a big car driving by, all she had in her eyes was that kid Shen Huaian!”
Gu Zhinian looked back and said jokingly with a smile:
"Mom, you're jealous."
Li Yuling suppressed her jealousy and turned her head to say "Pooh".
"Why are you eating vinegar? I also eat soy sauce!"
Gu Zhinian was amused by her mother-in-law.
