Mu Siwu was startled, but he didn’t show it on his face. He smiled and said, "You probably rember wrong, I’ve always lived in Xu City and haven’t been anywhere else."
"Is that so? Then I might have rembered it wrong."
This little episode passed just like that. After greeting each other, both parties parted again. Only when they were far away from those people did Mu Siwu let out a slight sigh of relief.
There are several small scenic spots next to Yunlong Lake, like the Ten-mile Apricot Forest, Yunlong Mountain, Yunlong Temple, and others.
After going around, several hours had already passed. Although Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua were only in their fifties and often did farm work, walking for a few hours tired them out.
Seeing everyone was tired, Mu Qiancheng found a pavilion for everyone to sit down and rest. Then he handed Little Reunion to Jiang Xue and went to buy a few bottles of water.
"Dad, Mom, have so water to quench your thirst." Mu Qiancheng handed the water to his parents. Bai Yuhua watched her son buy water again and couldn’t help but feel concerned about spending money, saying, "Child, why are you spending money recklessly again?"
"Mom, this water isn’t expensive, it’s only ten cents."
"Ten cents is still money; it’s enough for the fare from our town to ho. Besides, we can drink this water when we get back."
"Alright, old woman, say no more. The son is just being considerate, worried we’ll be thirsty."
Bai Yuhua said nothing more. Mu Siwu opened the water bottle and handed it to her, then took another bottle from her hand and opened it.
Having walked so far, the two of them were indeed a bit thirsty. With one sip, more than half the water was gone. Jiang Xue watched with a smile on her face.
It was her oversight not to buy water in advance.
Mu Qiancheng seed to know what she was thinking and gently held her hand. After Bai Yuhua drank so water, she looked at Little Reunion, who was staring intently at the bottle in her hand with bright eyes, and couldn’t help but say, "Xue’er, is Little Reunion hungry?"
"Probably not, he’s just interested in the bottle you’re holding." Jiang Xue smiled and replied. Ever since Little Reunion drank bamboo marrow, he hadn’t been as easily hungry.
He’s now accustod to having three als a day. Sotis he wakes up in the middle of the night for another drink, but if not, then that’s it.
"It’s a pity there’s water in this bottle, so I can’t let him play with it."
"No worries, once mom finishes the water, he can have it."
The family sat in the pavilion for a while longer until they felt rested enough, then they set off back to the guesthouse.
At the guesthouse, it was only after five o’clock. Bai Yuhua and Mu Siwu said they wanted to rest a bit before having dinner. Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng didn’t object, though after a whole afternoon of walking, Mu Qiancheng wasn’t feeling tired, but Jiang Xue was a bit worn out.
Returning to the room, Jiang Xue handed the child over to Mu Qiancheng and went to take a shower and change clothes before lying down to rest.
Mu Qiancheng was playing with the child when he saw Jiang Xue erge from her shower, his eyes lit up, and he couldn’t take them off her.
Feeling Mu Qiancheng’s fiery gaze, Jiang Xue glared at him fiercely, but her pretty face turned even redder.
Like a rose after the rain, even more delicate and charming, making one can’t help but want to pick it.
"Xue’er, you look so beautiful!" Mu Qiancheng looked at Jiang Xue, a smile appearing on his face, though his ears were terribly red.
Everyone loves beauty. Hearing soone praise her beauty made Jiang Xue naturally happy. Especially since the one doing the praising was her own husband.
