Jiang Yun showed extraordinary enthusiasm and obsession.
Chen Yuanwu was surprised and delighted: "I really hope it could be like this every day!"
Jiang Jun blushed and muttered, "I've always been like this!"
Chen Yuanwu smiled and pinched Jiang Yun's cheek: "Well, it's always like this!"
If you see through it but don't say it out loud, just let her do what she wants.
He was really satisfied to be so clingy to his beloved.
But Jiang Jun refused to agree: "That's not what you just said! Tell me, what's different about me?"
Praising her for being good now, does that mean she wasn't good before?
Chen Yuanwu avoided the main point and pressed the subject, kneading her body with his fingers: "You've gained some flesh, and it feels better than before!"
Jiang Jun chuckled. "I was fooled by you before. I thought you were a high-quality literary youth who loved romantic poetry and songs. Who knew you were a carnivore?"
Chen Yuanwu also laughed: "These adjectives are well used."
Jiang Yun said proudly: "When you were not at home, I read your book and practiced calligraphy according to the copybook."
She found several books of Chen Yuanwu's reading notes, which contained extensive content. It was clear that he had read a lot of books, both numerous and diverse, and often had his own unique insights.
What made her ashamed was that Chen Yuanwu's calligraphy was very beautiful when he was in his teens.
Chen Yuanwu: "Didn't you practice piano?"
Jiang Yun: "I don't want to play when you're not home."
When I’m in a bad mood, the songs I play tend to be depressing.
She originally wanted to practice a song for Jiang Yuan, but things did not develop in the direction she expected. Sitting in front of the piano, the scene reminded her of the past, which made her even more anxious.
Chen Yuanwu immediately sensed her change in mood and gently stroked Jiang Yun's back. "It's your birthday today. Where do you want to go? To your dad's? Or to mine? I'll go to the cafeteria to buy some groceries and bring them over."
In the 1970s, few people celebrated birthdays in a big way. Adults would at most cook a bowl of longevity noodles, and children would just boil an egg. Parents celebrating their children's birthdays showed that they valued them.
Jiang Jun: "It's your birthday too! Let's not go anywhere, just stay home. I'll take a nap later at noon, and you can take me for a walk over to the reservoir, okay?"
Comrade Lao Wu had just completed a mission and must have something to report to the leadership. How could he possibly take her back to her parents' home? He should take her out to see the spring scenery at noon, listen to her talk alone, and tell her everything he wanted.
There is no such thing as a honeymoon in the military environment.
The groom is very happy because he did not receive the mission to go to war on his wedding night.
Chen Yuanwu thought the same thing: "Then you just wait for me at home obediently."
This is the second time they have celebrated their birthday together, which is very meaningful.
Jiang Jun said fiercely, "When have I ever been disobedient? Do you want to put a chain on me?"
Chen Yuanwu laughed so hard his chest trembled: "I want to tie you to my keychain and carry you with me all the time."
The young couple whispered to each other for a while, and then the wake-up call sounded.
Jiang Yun pushed him out of bed: "Shouldn't you do your morning exercises? Otherwise people will look at me with strange eyes."
Chen Yuanwu jumped down with a smile: "Then you take a nap, I'll bring breakfast back."
Jiang Jun couldn't sleep at all. He had just broken out in a sweat. After lying down for a while, he got up and boiled some water to take a shower.
There was no big mirror at home, so Jiang Yun couldn't see his whole body. He raised his arms and legs and turned them in circles to check and knead them, but he felt that he was not rounder than before.
It can be seen that Chen Yuanwu's eloquence in making her happy is getting better and better.
…
Chen Yuanwu was busy all day, but his leader understood his hard work and made an exception to give him a day off so that he didn't have to attend the regular evening meeting.
When she got home, Jiang Jun actually baked a cake and bought canned oranges. She waited for Chen Yuanwu to come in before setting the plate and decorating it.
"This is the second surprise you've given me today!" Chen Yuanwu hugged Jiang Jun and kissed her. "Compared to this, I don't have any surprises for you. I even broke my promise and didn't come back at noon."
Jiang Jun cut the two white candles she had bought into smaller pieces and wrapped them with red promotional paper. "We need to light candles and make a wish before eating the cake. Originally, we were supposed to light one candle for each year of your life, but when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, even with Sister Long's backdoor, she could only buy me ten. I figured a couple would be enough."
The cake she baked was the size of a plate, with a circle of tall, thick candles lighting it, which looked weird.
Chen Yuanwu asked her to demonstrate how to make a wish.
Jiang Jun lit the candles, turned off the lights, stood in front of the cake, clasped her hands together, bowed her head and made a wish: "I hope my work will go smoothly this year, my family will be happy, and I will become more and more beautiful!"
Chen Yuanwu exclaimed, "Can I raise my fist and take the oath?"
The action of joining the palms together has some kind of superstitious belief meaning, which seems particularly inappropriate in this era.
Jiang Jun laughed out loud: "Alright!"
This is the first time I see someone swearing an oath in front of a cake. This style would be fine if it happened to Chen Yuefei.
Chen Yuanwu gestured for a moment, then ran to the bedroom to take off his military uniform and put on a pullover sweatshirt. Then he stood in front of the cake and clasped his hands. Only then did he feel more natural: "I hope that I, Chen Yuanwu, and my wife Jiang Jun will always love each other and be together forever! For all eternity!"
Jiang Yun smiled, the oath sounded like a Western wedding.
What moved her most was the phrase about being together for eternity: "Lao Wu, don't you study materialism every day? You also believe in eternal rebirth? Aren't you afraid that people will think you're superstitious?"
Walls have ears, she was really scared.
Chen Yuanwu hugged Jiang Yun and ate cake together. What they ate was not important, what was important was the feeling of being together: "I feel like I have known you for many lifetimes."
Jiang Jun didn't believe it, but he loved to hear it: "How much is a lot?"
Chen Yuanwu inserted his fingers into Jiang Yun's long hair and pinched her scalp. "I think I've seen you with long hair, short hair, and bald head. I've seen you with a round face, an oval face, and a pointed chin. The only thing that remains unchanged is that you only reach my shoulders."
Jiang Jun smiled foolishly: "Is this true?"
Chen Yuanwu said seriously: "Of course it's true!"
Jiang Jun was suspicious: "Are you trying to cheer me up?"
Chen Yuanwu: "Look into my eyes, do they look like I'm lying?"
Jiang Yun stared at him for a moment, then suddenly threw herself into Chen Yuanwu's arms. "What if you recognized the wrong person? I don't think I've ever seen you before."
Chen Yuanwu: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember me, as long as I remember you, that's enough! As long as one of us remembers the other, we won't be separated again!"
Jiang Jun blinked away the tears in his eyes. "If the person who doesn't remember anything gets together with someone else, won't the person who remembers be miserable?"
Chen Yuanwu: "The person who remembers everything is the happiest! There are so many memories from so many lifetimes! It's not bitter at all!"
Jiang Yun couldn't hold back any longer and buried her head in Chen Yuanwu's arms, tears streaming down her face.
