"Look, they're over there, having so much fun!" Lin Yourong reached out and gently nudged Sister Ru beside her.
Upon hearing the sound, Sister Ru looked in the direction Lin Yourong pointed.
As far as the eye could see, on the open riverbank, Yu Huan was flying a kite with Wang Weiwei.
Sister Ru said with a smile, "My little one is really happy. Look at her jumping and skipping around, she's absolutely overjoyed."
Yu Huan gripped the reel firmly with her right hand and turned it slowly and steadily, letting the kite line out little by little.
Wang Weiwei stood to the side, her little face beaming with barely suppressed excitement, her eyes fixed on the kite in the sky, occasionally shouting commands.
"Godfather, put in a little more, a little more!"
There were no messy obstacles or tall trees blocking the riverbank.
With the help of the warm breeze, the butterfly kite, like a real butterfly, soared higher and higher, gradually merging into the azure sky.
Wang Weiwei, who was overjoyed, was the first to notice the arrival of Lin Yourong and Sister Ru.
Her face flushed with excitement as she jumped and waved her little hands vigorously, her clear and childlike voice carrying far along the open riverbank.
"Mom! Godmother! You've finally arrived! Come and see me and Godfather flying kites!"
Lin Yourong and Sister Ru exchanged a smile, quickened their pace, and walked towards the two people on the riverbank.
Upon hearing Wang Weiwei's call, Yu Huan, still firmly holding the reel to ensure the kite flew smoothly in the sky, turned around.
Sunlight shone on his face, outlining his well-defined features.
A bright smile spread across his face as he nodded to Lin Yourong and Sister Ru.
Sister Ru quickly walked over, bent down, reached out and gently touched Wang Weiwei's rosy cheeks, saying affectionately, "Weiwei, did you have fun flying a kite with your godfather today?"
Wang Weiwei stared intently at the kite in the sky, as if it were the focus of her entire world.
Nodding eagerly, she exclaimed excitedly, "So much fun! I've never been so happy before!"
Sister Ru straightened up, her gaze falling on Yu Huan's skillful release of the kite string. A slight smile played on her lips as she teased, "Wow, you're pretty good at flying kites! You've made the little one so happy; I've never been this happy before."
Yu Huan looked up at the kite and smiled in response, "Kids are easily satisfied."
Wang Weiwei noticed Lin Yourong walking up to her and quickly took her hand, her face flushed with happiness.
"Godmother, godmother, look closely! The eyes of this butterfly kite can even move, it's so interesting! And Uncle also gave me a goldfish kite. When I get home, Godfather will assemble it for me and hang it in my room so I can see it every day!"
Following the direction Wang Weiwei pointed, Lin Yourong saw the butterfly kite soaring high in the sky, its colors vibrant and dazzling, with its eyes faintly visible moving with the wind.
Her eyes were full of laughter: "It really is spinning, it's so interesting."
Yu Huan turned around and suggested with a smile, "Why don't you let your godmother show off her skills and help you fly the goldfish kite? Then the two kites can fly together in the sky."
“Yes!” Wang Weiwei’s eyes widened instantly, like two sparkling black pearls.
She shook Lin Yourong's hand vigorously, her little body swaying from side to side, and said coquettishly, "Godmother, please let it go, please let it go! I really want to see the goldfish kite flying in the sky. Its tail is so long, it must be even prettier than the butterfly kite!"
Lin Yourong's smile deepened. She smoothed Wang Weiwei's slightly ruffled hair and asked softly, "Where is the goldfish kite?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huan subconsciously assumed that his wife must also know how to fly kites.
He skillfully operated the reel, first locking the reel's buckle to ensure the kite line wouldn't slip, then pulling on the reel and turning to hand it to Lin Yourong.
"The line is 200 meters long, and we've let out about a quarter of it. Hold it and get a feel for it. The goldfish kite is still in the car; it hasn't been assembled yet. I'll go assemble it right away."
Lin Yourong looked at the reel that Yu Huan handed her, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
She hesitated slightly before saying, "I don't know how to use these wheels..."
Yu Huan smiled and handed the reel closer, saying, "I've tightened it for you, the line won't run. Just hold it and control it a little."
When Sister Ru heard that Lin Yourong didn't know how to use the reel, she immediately became interested and started rubbing her hands together, as if she couldn't wait to show off her skills.
Her face beamed with eagerness, and she said excitedly, "I'll do it! I'm really good at this! Back when I was in school, there was a boy who was pursuing me, and he especially liked to ask me to fly kites."
"Is that so?" Yu Huan raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing.
Sister Ru keenly noticed the teasing expression on his face and immediately glared at him: "What? You little brat, do you doubt your sister's charm? I was a big shot in school back in the day, the guys who chased me could stretch from the school gate to the other side of the playground!"
"Alright, alright, how could I doubt Sister Ru's charm?" Yu Huan couldn't help but chuckle, pulling the reel twice to skillfully adjust the kite's height, keeping the butterfly kite steadily suspended in the air.
Then, he turned and handed the reel to Sister Ru: "Sister Ru, I'm entrusting this butterfly kite to you. Trust me!"
Just then, Wang Weiwei said in a clear voice, "Godfather, Godfather! My mom can really fly kites, but she flies a very small triangular kite! Last time we went to the square to fly a kite, we ran for a long time before it took off, but it was blown away by the wind in no time!"
The little guy talked while gesturing wildly, his face full of expressions.
The voice just fell.
Sister Ru raised her hand and gently flicked Wang Weiwei's forehead, scolding her, "You little brat, what are you saying! Can't you give your mother some face? That time, the wind was clearly too weak, and there were too many people flying kites in the square, causing too much interference, which is why that happened."
Yu Huan suppressed a smile as she carefully slipped the reel into Sister Ru's hand, adding, "Sister Ru, be careful when you let out the line, don't get your fingers caught. I'll go get you some gloves in a bit."
"Okay, I know what I'm doing, so don't worry." Sister Ru nodded confidently and took the reel.
"Wow! Mom is letting me fly a kite!" Wang Weiwei cheered excitedly.
Lin Yourong watched Yu Huan turn and walk towards the car, then let go of Wang Weiwei's small hand and followed her with light steps.
A gentle breeze whistled past my ears.
Her voice came through softly from under her mask, tinged with curiosity and amusement: "Honey, were the kites a free gift from your classmate?"
Yu Huan turned around upon hearing the sound, slowed her pace, and said with a smile as she stepped forward, "I also gave him two packets of 'Harmony Brings Wealth'."
“Yes, it’s only fair to reciprocate.” Lin Yourong nodded in agreement.
The couple walked side by side, their pace synchronized, up the gentle slope towards the BMW not far away.
The sky was clear and pure, without a trace of impurity, with a few wisps of white clouds drifting by occasionally.
Lin Yourong looked up at the azure sky, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "The sky is so beautiful today. It feels like it's been a long time since I've relaxed and enjoyed looking at the blue sky like this."
"Yes, I've been so busy lately, running around for all sorts of trivial matters. I'm like a wound-up machine every day, and I've almost forgotten how to appreciate the beauty of life." Yu Huan took a deep breath of the warm, fresh air.
Seeing that there were few people on the riverbank, he took Lin Yourong's hand without hesitation, squeezed it gently, and asked in a soft voice, "Wife, have you contacted the production team? How did it go? Was it smooth?"
"The other party said they would contact them immediately and try to give a reply before six o'clock."
"Who did Sister Ru contact? Is she reliable?" Yu Huan asked curiously.
“Du Yan, the show’s producer. Sister Ru said Du Yan has a rather impatient personality, so she specifically sought her out.” Lin Yourong thought for a moment and then added, “They also have a good relationship.”
"Oh." Yu Huan felt relieved.
During the conversation, he walked to the passenger side of the BMW, took out his key from his pocket, and pressed the door button.
With a crisp "click," the car door unlocked. He turned slightly, released his hand from Lin Yourong's, and stepped forward to open the car door.
Then, he bent down and took out the bag containing the kite from the car.
He then stepped aside and said to Lin Yourong with a smile, "Wife, why don't you pick out some snacks to eat?"
"Okay." Lin Yourong nodded slightly, her eyes full of gentleness. She took two steps forward and leaned her upper body into the car.
She suddenly felt a light rub on her buttocks, but she could only purse her lips speechlessly at the lewd man's groping.
Her fair fingers opened the plastic bag containing snacks, first taking out a strip of Yakult probiotic drink and putting it in her trench coat pocket, then selecting some of Wang Weiwei's favorite snacks.
When she turned around, she saw Yu Huan squatting on the ground with her buttocks sticking out, assembling a kite.
Lin Yourong couldn't help but lift the toes of her delicate little leather shoes and gently kick them, then smiled and said, "I'm going back to your hometown tonight, and I'll be wearing a mask the whole time. Is that okay?"
Yu Huan was kicked so hard that she leaned forward slightly, but she didn't stop fiddling with the parts in her hands.
He turned his head and said confidently, "You're having an allergic reaction, that's a simple and reasonable reason. Do you think anyone would insist on taking off your mask to check? Let's go back later, when there are fewer relatives visiting. Besides, we're only staying for one day, and we'll leave for Wuling early the day after tomorrow, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Oh..." Lin Yourong frowned slightly, her expression still showing a hint of worry, "But after all, it's a visit to an elder's house for the New Year. Wearing a mask feels a bit impolite and gives a bad first impression."
"You're still thinking about having a wedding later! Let's just get by this year. When we get to the wedding, everyone will understand our situation. My elders are all very easygoing; they won't have a problem with you over a mask." Yu Huan said with a smile as she deftly pieced together the kite. "Besides, my parents are so happy to have such a sensible daughter-in-law like you. They're probably secretly laughing in bed tonight."
Lin Yourong burst out laughing at his words, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
She lifted her toes and gently kicked his butt, feigning anger, "What are you saying? How can you talk about your parents like that, and then secretly laugh about it under the covers!"
"Isn't that true? For now, they can only secretly rejoice! But later, the old man will definitely be gloating openly, and we'll have to have a good talk with him about it." Yu Huan stood up, holding the kite in both hands. "Done, easy peasy, a piece of cake!"
Lin Yourong looked down at the red plastic bag at his feet, which contained two pairs of white work gloves.
He immediately squatted down, picked up the plastic bag, and then transferred all the snacks from his trench coat pocket into it.
When she looked up, she said with a smile in her eyes, "You've thought of everything, even preparing gloves."
Yu Huan turned around, gently touched the passenger door, and explained with a smile, "These gloves were given to me by my classmate. When flying a kite, if you're not skilled at it, the kite line can easily cut your hand. Wearing gloves makes it much safer."
"Your classmate is quite reliable."
“Of course, the shop is run by his parents. He works as an administrative secretary at SAIC Motor, and he’s very meticulous and thoughtful in his work.” Yu Huan shrugged.
Little Fox is usually a carefree and unkempt person. His hair often looks like it's been blown around by the wind, and his clothes are always loose and sloppy.
But who could have imagined that years later, he would be the one who did the best among his classmates, becoming the general manager of Nanhua Automobile Industry Co., Ltd.
This is a joint venture established by SAIC Motor and Yuejin Automobile. Xiao Hu's ability to hold such a crucial position demonstrates that he is highly valued and trusted by the upper management, and his future is bright.
At the class reunion, even Zhao Yuan, who was usually the most sycophantic, immediately changed his attitude.
He abandoned his nickname "Little Fox" and started calling him "Brother Zhi" all the time, being extremely obsequious and fawning.
Yu Huan and Lin Yourong chatted casually as they strolled along at a leisurely pace.
Sister Ru was half-squatting on the grass, leaning slightly forward, teaching Wang Weiwei how to fly a kite.
She held the reel handle herself, then guided Wang Weiwei's little hand to grasp the reel, and said softly, "Little one, don't rush, slowly apply force, and gently pull back."
Wang Weiwei's face flushed red, like a ripe apple, full of excitement.
Her little hands gripped the edge of the reel tightly, and following Sister Ru's instructions, she slowly pulled it backward.
"It really is! Mom, I feel like the kite in the sky is pulling me hard!" A clear, childish voice echoed by the river.
Sister Ru said with a smile, "That's right, Weiwei is so smart! Look, isn't the kite flying higher than before? That's all thanks to you pulling the string."
"Oh!" Wang Weiwei nodded as if she understood, her little head seemingly trying to comprehend the relationship between the kite, the wind, and the string.
The couple walked up to them.
Yu Huan waved the assembled goldfish kite in her hand and said with a smile, "Weiwei, look! Your godfather and godmother brought you the goldfish kite. Later, let it have a high-altitude competition with the butterfly kite and see who can fly higher!"
Upon hearing the sound, Wang Weiwei immediately turned around.
Seeing the goldfish kite that Yu Huan had assembled, he immediately let go of the reel, clapped his hands incessantly, and cheered, "Great! I want to see the goldfish fly! Godfather, release it quickly, I can't wait!"
Wang Weiwei's cheerful laughter echoed along the riverbank.
Although the two kites weren't flying very high, less than a hundred meters from the ground, in Wang Weiwei's eyes, that was an unreachable height, representing endless joy and novelty.
Because kites fly close together, there is a risk of the string getting tangled, so Wang Weiwei was like a busy little bee, constantly checking on her godparents and then her biological mother.
At first, Wang Weiwei was like a tireless little engine, excitedly running around on the grass.
Until I got tired of running, my eyelids started to droop.
Even so, she forced herself to stay awake, leaning against Yu Huan, her head tilted back slightly, staring at the kite in the sky.
Occasionally, she would lower her head, take a small sip of the lactic acid bacteria drink, and eat a bear-shaped biscuit.
Sister Ru turned her head and looked at the two adults and one child sitting in a row not far away. Wang Weiwei's small body was nestled next to Yu Huan, while Lin Yourong sat quietly on the other side.
A gentle smile involuntarily appeared in her eyes.
Just then, my cell phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated and rang.
Sister Ru hurriedly switched the thread to her left hand and took out her phone.
The bright sunlight shone on the screen, making her squint and barely able to make out the flashing caller ID:
'Du Yan.'
Upon seeing this nickname, a hint of seriousness flashed in Sister Ru's eyes.
After the call connected, as she listened to the other person's story, Sister Ru gradually smiled and her tone became more cheerful.
"Really? That's great! I knew you could handle it!"
Wang Weiwei's upper body slumped weakly into Yu Huan's arms. Her eyelids, which were about to close, suddenly opened again, and she drowsily looked up at Sister Ru's profile.
"Who is Mommy talking to on the phone?" she mumbled in a childish voice, propping herself up on Yu Huan's thighs and taking small steps toward her mother.
Seeing this, Lin Yourong handed the reel to Yu Huan and followed.
Wang Weiwei, like a swallow returning to its nest, grabbed Sister Ru's legs and yawned widely.
Sister Ru hung up the phone, casually put her phone back in her pocket, and looked at Lin Yourong who had walked closer. She couldn't hide her joy and said, "They said they would give you a reply before six o'clock, but they called back so quickly! They're really efficient!"
"Sister Ru, how is it? What exactly happened?" Lin Yourong carefully took the reel from Sister Ru's hand.
"It's all settled. According to the best plan we've discussed, they'll fly from Inner Mongolia to Changsha on the third day of the Lunar New Year." Sister Ru smiled, her eyes narrowing into slits. "Du Yan is showing off quite a bit, saying that no band in China would refuse such a big stage as 'I Am a Singer.'"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yourong nodded noncommittally.
