country bumpkin

Hu Jinhua adored her precious grandson in her arms. She would touch his little face, kiss his forehead, and smell his little hands.

The tickling made the child giggle. Deng Qingshan watched the interaction between the grandfather and grandson with envy.

He snatched the child away and said ingratiatingly, "Grandpa Xingchen will take you flying, okay?"

Deng Xingchen clapped and cheered. Deng Qingshan lifted his grandson onto his shoulders and carried him on his neck.

Deng Qingshan held the child tightly in both hands, running around the house. The child grabbed his ears as if they were steering wheels.

The child felt a gentle breeze and excitedly exclaimed, "Oh... I can fly! I can fly!"

Deng Yichen and Su Yingying watched their parents vying for each other's affections, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Watching all this unfold, Deng Yiyao suddenly felt envious. She thought this kind of life was truly wonderful and blissful.

She watched her second brother and sister-in-law looking at each other, the two of them supporting each other and laughing happily. The father was carrying his grandson around the house, while the mother chased after him, vying to hold her eldest grandson.

She smiled too; this kind of life was truly blissful, and it was the life she wanted.

Suddenly, images flashed through my mind: a handsome man, serving her food while she ate, putting a coat on her when she was cold, and holding an umbrella for her when it rained…

Deng Yiyao shook her head, trying to clear her hazy memories. She felt as if she had lost something important, a feeling she seemed to have experienced before.

If she couldn't remember, she stopped thinking about it and quietly went to the kitchen, bringing all the food to the table.

Second sister-in-law Su Yingying saw Deng Yiyao serving dishes, so she joined in and brought dishes to the living room.

Deng Qingshan was tired from running, so he slowly sat down and carefully put his eldest grandson down.

Hu Jinhua glared at him angrily: "Old man, if you're so capable, keep running. Why did you stop? You're trying to take my grandson away from me. You've really got some nerve."

All the food had been served, and Deng Yichen and Su Yingying invited the family to sit down and eat.

Deng Yiyao was making dumplings in the kitchen, and after a while, the dumplings were cooked. Several adults then went to the kitchen to bring out the dumplings.

Hu Jinhua stayed behind to play with her grandson. Once the dumplings were served, the family began to eat.

This year was the most depressing for Deng Yiyao in recent years; she seemed to have forgotten many things. Most importantly, the man in that scene, both familiar and strange.

…………

Lin Junhui helped his mother cook the dishes. Then he went to boil dumplings. It took him a long time to finish all the work.

Song Shiyue asked Lin Junhui to offer incense and kowtow to the ancestral tablets and her father's memorial tablets. Only after all this was done did they begin to eat at the table.

The mother and daughter sat alone and forlorn at the dinner table. While other families were filled with laughter and joy, in their home, Song Shiyue was a gentle and quiet person, and Lin Junhui was a steady and reliable one, neither of whom knew how to tell funny or humorous stories to cheer up their mother.

The mother and daughter finished their meal quietly, and with nothing else to do, they sat in the living room watching TV.

After watching for a while, Lin Junhui wanted to go back to his room. Song Shiyue continued watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Junhui returned to his room, lay on the bed, unable to sleep, thinking about his wife. A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

Su Ze held Tian Yanyan tightly, refusing to let go. The two had already registered their marriage. Tian Yanyan spent her first New Year at the Su family home.

The two have been living together since they registered their marriage. Su Ze's mother is also looking forward to having a grandson soon, so she doesn't disturb their time together.

Su Ze's handsome looks completely captivated Tian Yanyan, making her forget all about whether or not a wedding banquet had been held.

Since they're a legally married couple, they never go out unless they have something to do. They spend all their time in bed making love.

Having just tasted the sweetness of meat, Su Ze worked tirelessly day and night.

Tian Yanyan also developed a taste for it, but this didn't last long before she began to feel that her body couldn't take it anymore.

She weakly pushed Su Ze away, saying, "We can't go on like this, we need to be more restrained." But Su Ze, like a greedy child, refused to give up.

Meanwhile, Deng Yiyao's feelings of losing her memory grew stronger and stronger.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she went out for a walk alone to clear her head. As she walked, she unknowingly arrived at a hotel that was both unfamiliar and strangely familiar.

Deng Yiyao stood there in a daze, inexplicably touched. The handsome man's face reappeared in her mind.

In a daze, Deng Yiyao saw herself and that man eating and chatting in the hotel lobby in front of her.

After hesitating for a long time at the hotel entrance, Deng Yiyao turned and left. A strange man, as if possessed, followed her.

He always felt that the woman in front of him had a unique attraction.

Deng Yiyao noticed and turned around. Their eyes met, and for a moment time seemed to stand still as a subtle atmosphere spread between them.

The strange man looked at the woman before him, feeling a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness. Remembering his girlfriend, Shao Yuwei, he turned and left.

The strange woman in front of him had nothing to do with him, and any connection they might have had was from the past.

He has some memory problems. Last year, he got into a car accident on his way home after getting drunk, and injured his head.

He had forgotten some things, but life was good now, and he didn't want to disrupt the peace.

There's no need to dwell on the past; perhaps that will bring more happiness.

Meanwhile, Su Ze finally realized that Tian Yanyan was indeed not in good condition and decided to take a break and take good care of her.

He cooked some nourishing food, and Tian Yanyan was deeply moved as she ate it.

Su Ze's mother also noticed her daughter-in-law's unusual behavior. Her increasingly thinner figure and dark circles under her eyes worried her greatly.

If the daughter-in-law doesn't get pregnant and ruins her health, then it's not worth it.

She plans to take her daughter-in-law to the hospital for a check-up after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to find out why she lost weight.

Su Ze felt guilty, realizing that his lack of self-control had harmed Tian Yanyan. Tian Yanyan, however, didn't blame him, saying it was all her fault; she loved him too much and couldn't help wanting him to be intimate with her.

Su Ze was also unable to resist and couldn't control himself at all. He couldn't help thinking about Tian Yanyan whenever he saw her.

Every glance, every gesture, every word she uttered was interpreted by him as an ambiguous, seductive invitation.

Su's mother was also troubled by her son and daughter-in-law's lack of tact. Naturally, she hoped that her son and daughter-in-law would have a good relationship.

But you can't keep causing trouble day and night. You're still too young; youthful impetuosity can easily lead to serious mistakes.

When you get older, you realize that injuries can never be repaired. That's how she got her injury so badly, which is why she often has back pain and can't do heavy work.

Tian Yanyan looked at Su Ze apologetically and said, "Brother Ze, I'm sorry. I'm useless. My health is so poor, and I've made you worry."

Su Ze hugged her tenderly and said, "No, it's my fault. I couldn't control my desires. I'm so sorry for hurting you like this."

They apologized to each other and felt sorry for each other. They couldn't help but kiss again.
