country bumpkin

The 26th day of the twelfth lunar month was Mu Shuyun's happiest day.

Kong Xiufang will be back this afternoon. Kong Xiangyao will also be returning from afar and will arrive home this evening.

Mu Shuyun was most worried about her two youngest children, because all her other children were already married.

In her mind, married children are all adults, while her two unmarried children are still children.

Kong Xiufang had just started her holiday yesterday, and today she was already eager to go home. Lin Junhui came to wait for her early in the morning.

I was afraid she had left early and I wouldn't see her. So I got up early, washed up, and came without having breakfast.

Kong Xiufang tidied up her dormitory, prepared some New Year's goods, and dressed up before leaving the garment factory.

As soon as she came out, she saw Lin Junhui waiting there dumbfounded. Kong Xiufang quickly ran over, grabbed his hand, and asked, "Silly boy, how long have you been here? Why didn't you come into the dorm to find me? It's so cold outside! You must be freezing!"

As she spoke, she rubbed Lin Junhui's hands, trying to warm them. Lin Junhui's nose was slightly red from the cold, but his ears were tightly protected by his military cotton cap.

Lin Junhui's large hand was protected by Kong Xiufang's warm and soft small hand, and his heart was filled with warmth.

He looked at Kong Xiufang tenderly, his eyes filled with love. He slowly said, "I'm not cold, not at all. Just seeing you warms my heart, warmer than a heater."

Kong Xiufang smiled and said, "You've come so early in the morning, your mouth is full of honey, so sweet-talking."

Lin Junhui pulled her close, his soft, warm lips pressing against hers. He kissed her and said slowly, "Whether it's sweet or not, you'll know once you taste it yourself."

Kong Xiufang smiled, her eyes crinkling with happiness. She added, "Yes, it really does have honey on it. It's so sweet, it warms my heart."

Lin Junhui was so happy he felt like he could fly, with an invisible little tail swaying behind him.

He hung Kong Xiufang's bag on the back of the bicycle, lifted her onto the crossbar in front, and prepared to take her to have breakfast.

Seeing the awkward posture, Kong Xiufang said coquettishly, "Little Junjun~ Isn't it inappropriate to sit like that? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed if someone you know sees you?"

Lin Junhui smiled indulgently, "What are you afraid of? We're a normal couple, and besides, you're my fiancée. I'm not shy at all!"

Kong Xiufang stopped worrying and sat comfortably in front, holding the handlebars with both hands and smiling as she looked ahead.

Lin Junhui's long legs swayed as he landed steadily on the foot pedal. Bathed in the warm winter sun, the gears of happiness slowly began to turn.

The gentle sunlight shines down, illuminating the land of our motherland, illuminating people's faces and bodies, and also shining into their hearts.

Lin Junhui pedaled his bicycle with ease, a soft, lark-like girl tucked into his arms.

"Butterflies fly, just like childhood running in the wind. Youth feels farther than the sea and higher than the sky, like rainbows. Butterflies fly, flying towards the castle of the future. Opening the skylight of dreams, letting growth be faster and more beautiful..."

The cheerful singing and gentle, sweet tone deeply touched JJ Lin's heart.

He shouted excitedly, "Fangfang, I love you!"

Kong Xiufang stopped singing, and answered firmly with a smile, "Junhui, I love you too!"

Time seemed to stand still at that moment; in this world, they seemed to be each other's only one.

Passing by, young men and women in twos and threes gathered around, and seeing the two of them so happy and sweet, it felt like the season for love had come again.

After passing a small restaurant, Lin Junhui stopped the car. He put both feet on the ground, braced himself against the car, and helped Kong Xiufang out.

Kong Xiufang jumped down safely and stood waiting for Lin Junhui.

Lin Junhui took her hand and led her into the restaurant, while calling out to the owner, "Boss, two bowls of beef noodles, please."

The boss responded and quickly went to prepare.

When the diners saw that it was a young couple who came in, they all stared at them curiously.

One of the women, a middle-aged woman with dark skin and wrinkled eyes, said to her husband, "Honey, look at that young couple who came in! They're such a perfect match! The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful; they're a match made in heaven!"

The burly, fat man across from him, who was shoveling noodles into his mouth, swallowed the noodles in his mouth, looked up and glanced at Lin Junhui's table.

He agreed with his wife, nodding and then saying proudly, "Yeah, it looks pretty good. But don't envy others. Back when we were dating, we were the envy of everyone, a perfect couple."

At the table to their left sat an elderly couple. The old lady, who also enjoyed gossip, couldn't help but look over.

When I saw what the middle-aged couple looked like, I almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She muttered to herself, "Damn... if this couple looks like immortals, then my husband and I would be He Xiangu and Lü Dongbin!"

The old man looked at his wife, strained his ear to listen carefully, and then asked, "Old woman, what did you say? Why... did you... use... foul language?"

The old lady chuckled, revealing her two missing front teeth, and replied, "Oh! Hehe! I couldn't resist. Who told them to lie through their teeth! The couple themselves look like bears, the woman is dark and the man is fat, they're practically a black bear spirit and a dog bear spirit getting married. How could they exaggerate to be a divine couple! They're really good at bragging."

The old man nodded affirmatively: "Exactly...exactly. When we were young, we were the epitome of a perfect couple! Right, old woman!"

After saying that, he grinned, showing his teeth, and chuckled foolishly.

Lin Junhui and his group were sitting far away and didn't hear the elderly couple's conversation.

Kong Xiufang happened to be passing by with some pickled vegetables when she overheard the old couple's conversation and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing her laughing so happily, Lin Junhui smiled back.

When Kong Xiufang came over, she secretly told him what she had just heard, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The middle-aged couple were so engrossed in gossiping that they didn't hear the conversation between the elderly couple. Seeing the beautiful young couple smiling broadly, they felt that their smiles were like a spring breeze and warm sunshine.

The boss walked over with a puzzled look, put the noodles on the table, and went back to work.

Thinking to myself, "Today's guests are strange, they're all so cheerful. Is something good happening? Looks like I've been too busy lately to watch the news. I should try to catch up on the news tonight!"

There were six tables in the shop, three of which were occupied, leaving three empty seats. After a while, a mother and daughter came in and ordered two bowls of meat sauce noodles.

The boss quickly went downstairs again. Lin Junhui and Kong Xiufang had almost finished eating.

After paying the bill, they prepared to head to the bus station. Lin Junhui pushed his bicycle forward, with Kong Xiufang following behind.

Upon reaching the wide main road, Kong Xiufang nimbly jumped onto the front beam of the car.

The two couples inside the restaurant were still chatting and gossiping. The mother and daughter who went in last couldn't help but join in after listening to the gossip from the two tables.

"Hehe, I also think that young couple was really pretty."

She looked at her daughter beside her and said with a smile, "Nini, when you find a boyfriend, find a handsome man like him, and your children will be beautiful after you get married."

The old woman and the old man at the table overheard the mother and daughter's conversation and their eyes lit up. "That's a good idea!"

The old woman urged the old man to eat quickly, and after he finished eating, he would go back to his son's house and tell his grandson to find a beautiful wife so that his great-grandchildren would all be as beautiful as dolls.
