Lin Mo was in a very happy mood at the moment. He grinned, holding Su Mu's hand with one hand and holding a tightly wrapped candied haws with the other. An atmosphere of joy lingered around him.
Su Mu ate the candied haws in small bites, looking at Lin Mo with a smile on his face. He was also infected by his smile, and ripples appeared in his heart.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Mo asked.
Su Mu nodded, and his already crimson lips became even fuller and more translucent after being stained by the sugar juice. He put one in his mouth, looked at the candied haws, then looked at Lin Mo with eyes full of expectation, and slowly handed it over.
Lin Mo took a bite of one and said with a smile, "Let's eat one, and send the rest to Yanzhi and the others."
Su Mu nodded shyly. Although the candied haws they both ate were strung together one by one, he still felt his face burning.
The two walked to the end. The flow of people here gradually thinned out, but there were still many vendors setting up stalls, and the aroma of various snacks filled the air. As long as Su Mu looked at that vendor for a few seconds, Lin Mo would take people over to buy some without hesitation.
Red bean cake, mung bean cake, sesame cake, hibiscus cake, candied water chestnut and white jade square cake, etc., all have a sweet taste. Lin Mo just took a bite and stopped eating. He doesn't like sweets very much.
In addition, the methods of making pastries and biscuits in this world are relatively simple, and the taste is rather sweet. Even someone like Su Mu who likes sweet food can't eat many pieces.
Lin Mo was carrying bags of things in his hands, and Su Mu's hands were not idle either, with food in them. As long as he looked at something for a long time, Lin Mo would buy a bunch of it without hesitation. At first he could still finish it, but later he could only try a little bit of each.
Until now, he didn't dare to look at the vendors on both sides. Even if he was curious, he restrained himself and just took a quick glance and walked away with his head down. He really couldn't eat anymore.
"What's wrong? What do you want to eat again? Is that the one? The one selling dry steamed buns?" Lin Mo looked at the strong man who was trying hard to take out steamed buns from the kang in the distance, and thought that Su Mu wanted to eat again.
"No, I'm full, Lin Mo. I'm just curious about how others make it, not that I want to eat it. Let's go pick up Yan Zhi quickly."
Su Mu shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, his eyes falling on Lin Mo's hands which were full of things, and an indescribable joy and emotion surged up in him.
He just felt his eyes sore as he looked at Lin Mo's clumsy yet serious expression. Gradually, an indescribable sourness spread in his heart until it surged up to his eye sockets. In the end, he could only vaguely watch the tall man approaching him in panic.
"What's wrong? Little Wood, why are you crying while eating?"
Lin Mo's face was full of anxiety. The little guy was smiling sweetly at first, but in the blink of an eye, his eyes were full of tears. He hurriedly gathered the things in his hands together, but the big and small bags were all scattered, and he couldn't hold them with one hand. He simply lifted the hem of his clothes and put them all in his pocket.
Looking at the young husband with wet eyes, Lin Mo's heart ached.
He wiped Su Mu's tears anxiously and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you worried that you can't finish it? Don't worry, if you can't finish it, give it to Nanxing and the others. If not, you can take it back to Gangtie and the others. It won't be wasted..."
Listening to Lin Mo's nagging consolation, Su Mu forced a smile and shook his head, saying in a hoarse voice, "It's not that I'm worried I can't finish it, it's just too sweet."
He had never eaten such sweet pastries, let alone so many at one time. He never thought that one day he would meet someone who was so kind to him like Huige'er.
Looking at the pitiful little husband, Lin Mo immediately understood what he meant by "too sweet".
Yes, it was too sweet. In his 19 years of life, even his biological parents had never given him a bit of sweetness. It was only right that he cried because of the "sweetness".
"Silly wood, you cry even when it's so sweet. What should I do with you? Our future days will be much sweeter than this."
Lin Mo wiped away her husband's tears, took his hand naturally, and continued in a low voice: "My husband will only let you enjoy the sweet and sour from now on, and will never let you suffer again."
Su Mu's heart trembled. Lin Mo's last words hit his heart hard. In the past ten years, he never felt that his life was hard, because that kind of life was destined when he was born, and it was every day of his life.
Now hearing Lin Mo say this, he didn't know why, but his tears flowed even more freely and violently, and he felt inexplicably aggrieved in his heart, as if he had found an outlet, a place he could rely on and talk to, and he couldn't help choking up.
When he was very young, he never understood why his parents always favored his other brothers and sisters, nor did he understand what he had done wrong to make his parents so disgusted. He always felt that as long as he worked harder, his parents would one day notice how well-behaved and sensible he was and would treat him better.
But later he realized that no matter how much he did, they would never be good to him. He gradually lost his expectations and longings, and gradually became numb and accustomed to it.
He himself began to think that he was not his father's biological child, and gradually felt that it was natural for them to treat him this way. But only now did he realize... He still couldn't let it go, and still felt wronged and painful...
The boy who usually had a cold face now had red and moist eyes, and sobbed softly, attracting the attention of passers-by. The little guy was immersed in his own emotions, but he did not forget to hold up the pancakes in both hands to cover his tear-stained face.
Lin Mo felt even more distressed now, half hugging the little guy and walking towards the less crowded place at the end of the street, busy wiping the little guy's tears while patiently and gently coaxing him in a soft voice.
It was so heartbreaking to see Su Mu crying. He sobbed like a baby animal, tears streaming down his face. But he clenched his teeth tightly and said nothing. Only his loose shoulders trembled helplessly.
Lin Mo felt heartbroken, and he wiped his tears gently and carefully, while trying to comfort him in a panic.
People were hurrying on the road, and the two of them stood in the corner. Su Mu's silent crying did not attract the attention of passers-by, but instead made Lin Mo almost cry too.
Su Mu's tears welled up in his eyes, and he only stopped sobbing and crying when Lin Mo was so anxious that he wanted to press his head into his arms. Although there were not many people around at the end, there were still people.
Although the customs of their Dahua Dynasty were not too strict, even young couples would not hug and cry in the streets. Su Mu realized it later and her ears blushed.
He looked down at the sesame cake that was wet with his tears and began to twist his body in embarrassment.
Seeing that he had recovered, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Little crybaby, you look small, and your head is small too, why are you so wet?"
"If you keep crying, I'll start crying too."
