They were clearly close when they were young, but now that they were grown up, they felt like strangers.
“Everyone feels the same way after growing up.” Mu Jingzhe had no relatives, but he had many siblings from the orphanage. Many of the children she grew up with were also close to her when they were little. They have even said many times that they want to be nice to her and treat her well for the rest of their lives, but the relationship ultimately fades.
They didn't lie when they were young, nor did they have a good relationship back then. At that moment, they were all sincere. However, as they grow older, their feelings for each other fade.
“If you want to play, there will be many people playing with you in the future. I'm just worried you'll find it annoying, ” added Mu Jingzhe.
Ji Buwang knew that he was talking about five children and could not help but laugh. "That's right. When I think about having five kids when we get back, these things don't seem like a big deal. ”
Mu Jingzhe nodded and fanned himself with his hands. Ji Buwang quickly fanned it as well. “You must feel stuffy. I don't know why the weather is so stuffy.”
"Maybe it'll rain in a few days." Mu Jingzhe looked at the sun above him. “Come quickly go.”
Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe found lodging in the county town. Although it was only a county town, as there were many factories there, it was quite well developed. The newly opened guesthouse has three floors and looks pretty good.
Ji Buwang was still confused about how many rooms to ask for. Two? He continued to feel that it was not safe to part from Jingzhe. If they book a room…
He was conflicted, but Mu Jingzhe was not. He asked for a room.
The two of them had already done the deed and were about to get married, so why would they have to book two rooms? Since they were far from home, they naturally had to share a room. The people there did not know them, so they could only say that they were husband and wife. No need to be so conflicted about it.
Seeing Ji Buwang wanted to say something but stopped himself, Mu Jingzhe finished checking in and climbed up to the second floor with him. “All right, all right, stop hesitating. I won't touch you before the wedding ceremony. There are two beds. ”
Ji Buwang: “...”
He was helpless against Mu Jingzhe. “I should have said this!” If they really lived in the same room, he would be the one to feel pain and happiness.
Although Mu Jingzhe's words were extremely irritating, Ji Buwang made no attempt to prove himself. The night passed without any accidents.
On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe had actually fallen asleep waiting for him. When he woke up the next day, he saw Ji Buwang, who was lying on the bed beside him, and could not help but spit out, "You're worse than a beast!"
This is the legendary proverb 'worse than animals'. He really kept his promise. "You're very calm, aren't you!"
The weather was very hot, and he even sweated while sleeping. Mu Jingzhe clicked his tongue and got up to take a bath.
Ji Buwang, who had heard all that, fell silent.
“…”
If he does not have to go to the grandmother's house from the mother's side, he will. Ji Buwang gets up to wash his face and calm himself.
After eating a typical local breakfast, they went to the grandmother's house from the mother's side. This time, his eldest uncle and his other relatives were finally ready. They even let the children who had never seen Ji Buwang acknowledge them. They were also very enthusiastic around Mu Jingzhe.
The wedding candies that Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe had specially brought in instantly attracted the hearts of the children, and they continued to revolve around them.
Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang were dizzy from all the noise. Although they had five children at home, they were never so noisy. These kids are amazing. They chatted and ran around, revealing different characteristics of a brat.
It wasn't easy for them to wait until noon, when Grandma finally woke up. However, when he woke up, he only opened his eyes and did not really look sober. Grandfather no longer existed, but he continued to talk to her, clearly living in the past.
Eldest Uncle, who was already a grandfather himself, was not surprised at all. He explained to Ji Buwang that he usually behaves like this. He had only spoken to them a few days ago, when his mind suddenly became clear again. In the end, when Ji Buwang came, his mind became chaotic again.
"It's okay. It's okay even if he's unconscious. I will just look at it and accompany it.”
When Grandma tasted the sweetness, she looked at Ji Buwang in surprise. It seemed like she was still unconscious, but when she saw Ji Buwang, she looked for more candy and said that she wanted to give him candy to eat.
Eldest Uncle naturally took out a bag of candy. The children immediately surrounded him, their faces filled with excitement. For them, being able to eat sweets twice is pure happiness.
This candy bar is a little special. It was a large piece of candy stuck together. It looks like sweet rice puff, but it is soft and should be shredded by hand before it can be eaten.
The children held out their hands. Grandma gave them one by one. Ji Buwang watched with nostalgic eyes. "It's been a long time since I've eaten this."
Mu Jingzhe's eyes revealed his shock upon seeing this. She had eaten this kind of candy when she was young in the modern era, but the candy was no longer there when she was an adult. At that time, since there were not many opportunities to eat it, he would grab it tightly and eat it until his hands were sticky.
After eating, he would even lick his fingers and hands clean.
Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe were also given a piece of candy. After eating it, they felt quite emotional. It was indeed a taste in their memories.
"Is this for sale where we live?" Mu Jingzhe unwillingly asked Ji Buwang.
"I think so. It is always on sale on market day.”
When Mu Jingzhe heard that, he knew that he had missed it. There was also a market day in the county, but there were always a lot of people present. Sometimes, he didn't want to bother breaking through the crowd, so he ended up missing this.
"I'll go buy some for Little Bei and the rest later."
After distributing the sweets, Ji Buwang's maternal grandmother kept looking at him. Ji Buwang told him who he was. After saying her name twice, Grandma really looked sober. “Buwang... You Buwang, right?”
"It's me, Grandma." Ji Buwang's eyes sparkled.
“It's been years since we last met. You have grown so much. ” Grandma smiles and touches Ji Buwang's face. "You're so handsome, just like your father."
Ji Buwang smiled. “I think that's partly thanks to you, Grandma. I'm just handsome because you're so pretty.”
Grandma pursed her lips and smiled. Then, he asked, “Oh right, are your parents not coming? Where's them?"
Ji Buwang's eyes blinked. “They are busy, so I came alone. Isn't it nice that I'm here?”
“Ya, good, good.” Grandma pulled. "Come on, let Grandma see you well."
He did not even see the children who called him 'Grandmother'. His eyes were filled with ignorance. “Why are there so many children at home? Are they all neighbors? Here too noisy.”
He completely forgot that this was his granddaughter and biological granddaughter.
“Grandmother doesn't remember us anymore.” The kids were already very used to it, so they just ran out to play.
Grandma doesn't mind them. He just looked at Ji Buwang. “Buwang, how old are you now? Let me guess... Look atyou. You're 15 or 16 years old, right? You can get a wife in a few years.”
“Grandma, I'm getting married. Look at that woman. This is my future wife.”
Ji Buwang pulled Mu Jingzhe. “My wife is beautiful, right? His name is Jingzhe.”
“Jingzhe? Jingzhe is a good name. She's beautiful." When Grandma saw Mu Jingzhe, she obviously liked him a lot.. He held her hand and continued to say that she was a perfect match for Ji Buwang.
