The bus was packed with people, all jostling each other. Yun Muye grabbed the ring above with one hand and held Gu Zhinian in his arms with the other.
The surroundings were in chaos, the children were crying loudly due to being squeezed, and there was a pungent and unpleasant smell, all of which made Gu Zhinian feel very uncomfortable. She buried her head in Yun Muye's arms, smelling his clean and refreshing scent to ease her discomfort.
About half an hour later, the bus stopped and people rushed out like fish in a flood, squeezing Gu Zhinian so hard that he frowned. The conductor stood at the front of the bus and shouted loudly.
"Go down one by one, don't crowd!"
"Huh!" Gu Zhinian finally got out of the car under Yun Muye's protection. Yun Muye saw that she looked unhappy and asked worriedly,
"Zhi Nian, are you okay?"
Gu Zhinian shook his head, "It's okay, let's go!"
Yun Muye held her hand and walked forward. On the way, they passed an old man riding a bicycle selling candy sticks. Each candy stick was one meter long and made of cornmeal. There was a sign saying one cent each.
Gu Zhinian was greedy and wanted to eat, Yun Muye pinched her face lovingly,
"Want to eat?"
Gu Zhinian's eyes lit up and he nodded. Yun Muye asked the old man to pack him ten candied sticks.
Yun Muye was carrying a large bag of candy sticks and took one out for Gu Zhinian.
“Eat!”
Gu Zhinian took the candied stick and took a bite. It was crispy and had the sweet taste of corn. He ate it while walking, bite by bite, and couldn't stop at all.
Yun Muye held her hand and walked slowly along the road. The spring breeze was blowing on their faces, and the willows were swaying. Young men and women dressed in fashionable clothes were sitting on the benches by the roadside, as if they were on a blind date.
Gu Zhinian had a faint smile on her lips and was humming a tuneless song in a relaxed mood. Yun Muye looked at her gently with a smile in his eyes.
The two came to where the bicycles were parked. Yun Muye got on the bicycle and patted the back seat.
"Come up, it's still early, I'll take you for a walk in the park."
"Okay!" Gu Zhinian sat at the back of the bike, put his arm around his waist, and put his face against his broad back. Yun Muye kicked his long legs, got on the bike and walked towards the park.
A song came from a shop on the street, "Sweet, your smile is sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze..."
After the bicycle went away, Gu Zhinian also sang softly, "Sweet, your smile is sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, where..."
Yun Muye came to the park with her sweet singing, stopped the car, and the two of them sat on a bench and quietly looked at the scenery.
"You sing beautifully."
Gu Zhinian turned to look at him. Coming to this era, she was all alone. Fortunately, Yun Muye took her home, gave her a home, and gave her his wholehearted love, so that she had a sense of belonging.
For some reason, she wanted to cry.
"Makino, thank you." Thank you for loving me.
Yun Muye turned his head and looked into her eyes. His affectionate eyes looked into her red eyes, and he hugged her in his arms distressedly.
"What's wrong? You were so happy just now, why are you crying now?"
"I didn't cry." Gu Zhinian lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and rubbed her head in his arms. Yun Muye stroked her long hair.
"Zhi Nian, I'm the one who should say thank you. Thank you for coming to my side. With you, Xiao Tangyuan and I can have a complete family."
Gu Zhinian calmed down, raised his head and smiled, "We are a happy family and will never be separated."
"Okay, we'll never be apart." Yun Muye liked this sentence.
The sky gradually darkened, Yun Muye took her home on a bicycle, Gu Zhinian curled his lips and smiled,
"Tell me, if Tangyuan finds out that we sneak out to play without him, will he cry?"
Yun Muye laughed. "Probably. He might cry. He's very clingy and wants to follow me wherever I go. In the past, when he started crying a lot, I would even carry him to the training ground to watch the soldiers train."
"Really? He's not scared?"
"Don't be afraid! The kid loved going. All the soldiers in the army held him. At that time, he was only about one year old and was chubby. Everyone liked to hold him. He wasn't afraid of strangers and smiled whenever he saw everyone."
Gu Zhinian was smiling happily the whole time. The two of them talked about their son all the way and before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the army.
The two opened the door carrying a bag of candied fruit. Little Tangyuan heard the noise and ran over, holding the duck's neck in one hand, with tears in her eyes and a pout on her lips.
"Mom and Dad don't take me with them when they go out to play, they don't take me with them, wuwuwu..."
Gu Zhinian hurriedly picked him up and coaxed him, while Yunshuang said with a smile:
"Sister-in-law, he was very good when you were not at home and didn't make a fuss. But when you came back, he started crying. So many little tears! Little Tangyuan is a little drama queen."
Gu Zhinian couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh when he saw him crying with tears and snot all over his face. Yun Muye stuffed the candied fruit into his mouth.
"Little Tangyuan, mom and dad went to buy you some delicious food, some sweet Tangsuguo. Do you want some, little Tangyuan?"
Little Tangyuan took a bite of the sugar-coated fruit and looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Really? Daddy won't lie to me."
"I'm not lying to you. Look, Dad knows you like eating these candied fruits, so I bought you a bag and let you eat as much as you want."
Yun Muye coaxed his son without blushing or beating his heart, which made Gu Zhinian feel guilty. If she hadn't been greedy, Yun Muye probably wouldn't have wanted to buy it.
Little Tangyuan took another bite of the sugar-coated fruit and smiled, "Dad, the sugar-coated fruit is delicious. Can you buy me some next time?"
"Okay, but you have to be obedient before I buy it. The old man selling candied fruit only sells it to adults, not children. So, if you follow him, you won't be able to eat candied fruit."
"If I'm obedient and don't follow Mom and Dad, you have to buy me candied fruit every day."
"Can."
Little Tangyuan turned around and stuffed the sugar-crusted fruit into Gu Zhinian's mouth, "Mommy wants some too."
"Okay." Gu Zhinian took a bite and pushed it to him, "Eat it yourself!"
Little Tangyuan forgot to question his parents for leaving him to go on a date, and happily went to find his grandmother with a bag of candied fruit.
"Grandma, have some candied fruit."
Li Yuling was busy in the kitchen. The buns in the pot were steamed and she was picking them out with a bamboo basket. She didn't care about the glutinous rice balls. Yunshuang stopped her with a smile and took out a candied fruit from the bag.
Gu Zhinian and Yun Muye went back to the house to change their clothes. Gu Zhinian tied up all her hair and rushed to the kitchen to help.
"Mom, are all the buns steamed? They smell so good."
Li Yuling handed her a basket full of buns and said, "Take it out and eat it while it's hot. I'll steam it again."
"Okay." Gu Zhinian carried the basket and walked into the living room, "Let's eat buns!"
Yunshuang and Xiao Tangyuan came over and said, "Sister-in-law, give me one!"
"Mom, I want a bun too."
Gu Zhinian took a plate and distributed a bun to each of them. Yun Muye ate directly from the basket, eating five buns in a row. Gu Zhinian felt full just watching this.
