Chapter 82: Being a Smiling Buddha_1
Meng Yunhan felt a bit awkward; these were her own words.
“Come here, little girl, grandma has some cake.” Yun’s mother brought out some candies she bought from a supply and marketing cooperative and handed them to the little girl.
The youngster, seeing the food, forgot about any grievances she had.
“Ahao, take Hanhan out!”
“Mom, where are our third brother and sister-in-law going?” Zhao Fang, noticing the children munching on the candies, and hearing grandma’s words, became curious. Where on earth were they going? After all, Yunhan was heavily pregnant!
Yun’s mother gave Zhao Fang a deep glance, “To town.” If today wasn’t New Year’s Day, Yun’s mother would have definitely had a good old talk with her daughter-in-law.
Yun Lei took his wife’s hand, forced a smile and said, “They should. Since Yunhan got pregnant, she’s been out very rarely. Now that our third brother has come, they should enjoy a walk.”
“Big brother, big sister, second brother, second sister, we’re going out first.” When Yun Hao said this, he looked specifically at Zhao Fang, his gaze lingering for a second.
With the children’s ardent wishes, Yun Hao led Meng Yunhan away.
“Mom, can we go out to play?” Yun Mingze was restless and eager to run outside.
“Mingliang, keep an eye on your little brother.” Yun Hai instructed his eldest son.
Yun Mingliang nodded.
“Big brother, second brother, I want to go too.” Yun Minghan, who was just over five years old, saw them going out to play and immediately wanted to join.
Just like that, only the eldest and second daughters, Yun Mingxue and Yun Mingying were left.
“Little girl, let your big sister take you out to play.” The eldest daughter also wanted to go out and play with her little sister.
Just like that, all the children were gone.
Only a few adults were left. Now they could go wherever they wanted.
Fearing that Meng Yunhan might fall, Yun Hao half-hugged her and headed into town.
Along the way, he greeted people. Even if he maintained a stiff expression, he still acknowledged them.
Meanwhile, Meng Yunhan was all smiles.
“Are you cold?” Yun Hao asked with concern. He had wanted to take off his army coat and drape it across Meng Yunhan, but she had refused.
“I’m really not cold. Holding my hand, you should know.” Meng Yunhan whispered.
In these times, they were not as bold as future generations, holding hands, hugging and kissing in public. This simple act of holding hands could attract attention.
Yun Hao could feel the warmth in her tiny hand. His larger hand encased her slender one.
“Hanhan, when are you due?” Yun Hao suddenly thought of this. He worried that he might not be able to make it.
He regretted not being there to witness the birth of their child. His wife would give birth without him by her side.
He felt deeply guilty towards her.
“Around the third month of the lunar calendar. Perhaps by the end of April in the Gregorian calendar.”
It was the expected due date, but often babies came earlier. Dıscover more novels at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
“Hanhan, I might not be able to accompany you then.”
But Meng Yunhan smiled lightly, “I know, don’t worry. I won’t blame you. I will bring our child to see you.”
“Okay.” Yun Hao agreed immediately.
“Hanhan….” Wang Minfang ran into Meng Yunhan and Yun Hao as she and her partner were leaving the educated youth area. They were holding hands; envy flickered in her eyes.
“Where are you guys planning to go?” Meng Yunhan cast a probing glance at the educated youth named Zhang. Before New Year’s, their families had been at odds because of a wedding, but here they were, still together.
“We’re just going to take a walk around town.” Wang Minfang had never paid much attention to Yun Hao before, only noticing right now that he’s actually quite handsome.
