Shu Yun took out a steamed bun and held it to the girl's mouth, "What a coincidence, Auntie just bought one too."

Wang Yuping quickly declined, saying, "No, you mustn't."

Shu Yun ignored her and shoved the bun into the girl's mouth. The girl opened her mouth and said, "The skin is sweet."

Shu Yun took another steamed bun. She did the same to the silent boy beside her, making Wang Yuping almost snatch it back from the child's mouth and give it back to Shu Yun.

Shu Yun: "Sister-in-law, don't look anymore. This is for the child, not for you."

Wang Yuping was both amused and exasperated. After a moment of silence, she said, "You've gone to so much trouble." As she spoke, she reached for her money, but Shu Yun quickly stopped her, saying, "I only gave it to you because I like children. What do you take my kindness for if you give me money?"

Shu Yun's eyes widened as if she had been hurt. Wang Yuping could only thank her again and patted the two children's heads, "Hurry up and thank your sister."

The two children said in unison, "Thank you, sister."

Shu Yun chatted with someone for a while, then rode away on her bicycle. Once the person was out of sight, the little girl exclaimed in surprise, "Mommy, candy grows out of my pocket! Lots of it!"

The boy glanced at it and said, "Was it given to us by the older sister just now? The candy she offered us before looked just like this."

The little girl took one out; the wrapper was made of glass candy, which was bright and beautiful in the sunlight, reflecting a lovely glow.

……

Shu Yun returned to the family compound with large and small bags, and encountered several military wives who had finished their lunch break and were preparing to go back to work at the factory.

"Shu Yun went to the city to buy things again? Look at all those bags she bought."

Shu Yun squeezed the brake, put her feet on the ground and laughed, "Yeah, I went to the city to run some errands and bought some daily necessities. Gu Jun and I don't have much life experience, so we weren't well prepared and didn't buy enough things."

"Sisters-in-law, you must be going to work now, so I'll be going now." Shu Yun said, waved, and rode away on her bicycle.

The military wives were still talking about Shu Yun as they walked down the street. "She always buys a lot of things when she goes to the city. And she's only been here for a short time, but I've already seen her go out several times. Even if Gu Jun earns a lot of money, it's not enough for her to spend, right?"

"Don't worry about what the young couple is doing. It's a willing exchange. Look at the bicycle she's riding, it's a 26-inch."

"She'll squander it all sooner or later."

There was a hint of sourness in his words.

Shu Yun opened the door and pushed the car into the yard, where she was greeted by a warm welcome from A Xi, who circled around her feet, making it difficult for her to walk. She had to take out the small sandbag from its doghouse and lead A happy to throw the sandbag further away before she could escape.

She breathed a sigh of relief and had just finished organizing the things she had bought when she heard Ah-happy calling outside, realizing that someone had come over.

"Sister-in-law Yang," Shu Yun greeted her.

Yang Yuzhen stood at the door and smiled apologetically, "Shuyun, you saved my little Bao last time, but I haven't had a chance to come and thank you in person. I hope you don't mind that I'm late."

Shu Yun hurriedly welcomed the person in, saying, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Please come in and sit down."

Shu Yun pulled out a chair for someone to sit down. "I haven't asked yet, is Xiao Bao alright?"

Speaking of this, Yang Yuzhen frowned again. "After you took the picture of the rice cake that day, she was fine, but she developed a high fever in the middle of the night. She has been staying in the hospital every day for the past few days. I haven't been to work for several days either, and I have been taking care of the child in the hospital."

Seeing the obvious dark circles under Yang Yuzhen's eyes and her haggard appearance, Shu Yun asked with concern, "How are you now? Have you recovered?"

"He was just discharged from the hospital today. His dad took him home, so I only just had time to come over and thank you."

Shu Yun made Yang Yuzhen a cup of tea, saying, "It's good that the child is alright."

"So I came here specifically to thank you." Yang Yuzhen took the items out of the cloth bag she had been carrying.

"This is osmanthus wine. My family used to make wine. My dad specially sent me this osmanthus wine a few days ago. It was made last year. Because my dad loves to drink it, the alcohol content was a bit high when it was made. I don't know if you like it? And these eggs, please accept them."

Shu Yun couldn't possibly accept so much stuff. "This osmanthus wine looks good to me. Sister-in-law, just give me this jar of wine. There are too many eggs."

Shu Yun took a bowl and picked out 6 pieces from the bag. "These are enough for me. You can take the rest back for Xiao Bao to nourish his body. There's no need for so many."

Yang Yuzhen grabbed Shu Yun's hand, "Yes, you must. To put it bluntly, without your help, I don't know what would have become of my child."

As Yang Yuzhen spoke, she choked up a little, and her eyes reddened slightly. Shu Yun quickly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Xiao Bao is all better now, isn't he? After great disaster comes great fortune. Xiao Bao will be a blessed person in the future."

Yang Yuzhen wiped her eyes with her sleeve, then smiled through her tears, "You have such a sweet tongue, but I'll still leave the eggs for you."

Shu Yun had no choice but to take two more eggs, but refused to take the rest no matter what.

Yang Yuzhen was thinking about her child at home. After talking with Shu Yun for a while, she got up to say goodbye. "Then I'll be going now. You can come to my house to visit Xiaobao sometime."

Shu Yun: "Okay, I'll definitely come when I have time."

Yang Yuzhen left. Before, her sister-in-law Feng Jie would talk badly about Shu Yun at home every day. Even though she had never met Shu Yun and had no ill feelings towards her, she subconsciously didn't have a very good impression of Shu Yun. However, now that she had met her, she realized that everything Feng Jie said was nonsense. Shu Yun was polite and poised, and a very good woman.

Shu Yun picked up the osmanthus wine and looked at it. It was homemade and packaged in a large fruit can. The wine was clear and transparent with a slight golden tinge, and there were a few osmanthus petals floating inside.

The lid was sealed with another layer of plastic film. Shu Yun took it off, scooped out a spoonful, and took a small sip. Before even taking a sip, Shu Yun smelled a faint fragrance of osmanthus. Upon tasting it, the first sensation was the sweet fragrance of osmanthus, followed by the mellow aroma of the wine on her tongue. It was very unique and refreshing, with a rather spicy aftertaste.

Ah-happy is a greedy little dog. As soon as it saw Shu-Yun holding a bowl, it eagerly came over, wagging its tail so high that it slapped Shu-Yun's calf. Although it didn't hurt, it still felt after being slapped so many times. Shu-Yun lowered its eyes and kicked Ah-Xi's round butt with its toe, moving it a little further away. "There's no share for you. Go play with your beanbag."

Ah happy refused to leave, and Shu Yun ignored it. After following for a while and seeing nothing, Ah happy left with its tail drooping.
