Age: My Small World

"anything else."

Yang Jun told her to keep digging downwards, and she obediently touched something familiar.

Her eyes immediately curved into crescent moons: "Oh! It's White Rabbit milk candy."

This is her favorite candy; Dad is truly the best.

With candy in one hand and a toy in the other, the little one completely forgot about the delicious white rice.

Once inside, Gu Nanke said calmly, "You're back."

"Ah."

"How was the journey?"

"It's fine, but I miss you and my adorable Xiao Ke the most."

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanke immediately handed Yang Ke, who was in his arms, to him.

"Give her a hug. You haven't hugged Xiao Ke much since she was born."

Yang Jun raised an eyebrow, then accepted it without hesitation.

He was just too careful, as if Yang Ke in his hands had turned into tofu and would break at any moment, which worried him terribly.

Seeing this, Gu Nanke chuckled and said, "Relax, don't be so scared."

"I couldn't help it, I was too nervous."

Yang Jun didn't dare to make any big movements and could only hold his daughter and watch her quietly.

Little Yang Ke no longer has the wrinkled and ugly appearance she had when she was first born. Now she looks like a beautifully carved jade doll. Her skin naturally has a kind of spiritual quality, and it is snow-white with a firm texture.

"Heh, what a father you are."

Gu Nanke found it both funny and heartwarming, and before she knew it, tears were welling up in her eyes, but a smile still lingered on her lips.

Yang Jun looked up and was taken aback: "Why are you crying? Is it because I took Xiao Ke away from you?"

"It's nothing. I just feel happy to see you two, father and daughter, by my side."

She tugged at the little one who was eagerly eating White Rabbit milk candy, then leaned against Yang Jun's arm and closed her eyes. For a moment, they were a harmonious family of four.

In the quiet atmosphere, Yang Jun suddenly spoke up: "Let's eat first, I think Guai Guai is hungry."

"Okay, I'll go heat up the food. It gets cold quickly in this weather."

"No need, the temperature is just right."

Yang Jun raised his hand to test the temperature of the bowl, and then lifted it open.

Gu Nanke then served everyone a bowl of rice.

The rice is steamed in a large pot in a bowl, giving it a very delicate aroma, which is different from cooked rice.

Finally able to eat, Huaihua spared the White Rabbit milk candies, letting them all go into her pocket so she could take them to school tomorrow and share them with some friends.

Now her social circle is no longer limited to people from her village.

While eating, Yang Jun didn't say anything that would spoil his appetite.

Finally, the obedient girl took the initiative to start clearing away the dishes.

"Wow, my sweetie, you can even wash dishes now!"

In the countryside, children start helping with housework from the age of four or five. Yang Jun is no stranger to this and encourages it, because it is a great way to develop children's abilities and an essential part of their growth.

"Yes, Dad, when you're not home, I'm the one who cooks and washes the dishes for Mom."

Guai Guai was quite proud.

Gu Nanke now has to take care of her younger sister, so she naturally doesn't have much free time. As a result, her calligraphy practice has been completely stopped, and she doesn't even have time to do her usual chores like pasting matchboxes anymore.

However, Yang Jun is not as busy as she is. It's not easy for one person to raise two children, so he doesn't need to do so much work to support his family. He is enough to support the family on his own.

"Okay, good job, sweetie."

Yang Jun offered some encouragement, then looked at Gu Nanke earnestly and said, "You've worked hard, Nanke."

Gu Nanke pursed her lips: "There's no hardship involved, I did it all willingly."

"Okay, let's not disturb Guai Guai playing by herself anymore, let's go back to the room first."

Guai Guai, on the other hand, couldn't wait to play by herself. Now she doesn't cling to anyone, and playing alone is actually quite fun. After the two of them and the baby entered the room, Gu Nanke put Yang Ke in her crib first.

The crib was modeled after later baby cribs by Yang Jun, and it was very convenient to use.

Anyway, Gu Nanke doesn't have to worry about the child falling off the bed most of the time.

"Come on, little guy, here's something good for you to eat."

Yang Jun gave Xiao Yangke some more honey and spiritual water, and gently rocked her until she fell asleep.

Then the two adults seemed to exchange a knowing glance, and then began to take off their clothes.

Soon after, the indoor temperature suddenly rose.

After a while, Gu Nanke, her face flushed, lay on Yang Jun's body, her small face pressed against his neck, her hands happily wrapped around his waist.

"I wish I could live like this forever."

"Hehe, isn't this the beginning of our life together? We have a long way to go, so don't worry about anything."

Yang Jun tapped her forehead to reassure her not to worry too much.

Gu Nanke might still feel somewhat anxious and uncertain, after all, her past experiences have taught her the cruelty of reality, and she can't imagine what it would be like if she lost everything.

"Yes, Xiaoshan, you are so good. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

"Hehe, it's not that exaggerated. You'll all be safe and sound without me."

Gu Nanke didn't believe that.

After spending some time together, the two were affectionate.

Yang Jun spoke up: "By the way, Nan Ke, I'm going on a long trip in a few days, so I'll have to ask you to take care of the family then."

"Going out again."

Gu Nanke sighed.

"How long will it take you to get back?"

"About a month."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home."

Gu Nanke's thousand words were all summed up in this one sentence.

She was a gentle woman; even though she was reluctant to part with him, she wouldn't say anything more.

For the next few days, Yang Jun spent most of his time with Gu Nanke and their daughter.

Xiao Yang Ke will likely inherit Yang Jun's appearance; his features are already faintly visible in his eyes and brows.

It wasn't until mid-November that Zhu Yong told Sun not to come and inform him.

"Yang Jun, we just got back, and you're already going on another mission? And all by yourself, eating alone."

Sun Yongbu had no idea that Yang Jun was not on a mission.

Of course, given his status, even if there were a mission, he wouldn't ask too many questions about its details.

"be careful on the road."

Finally, he patted Yang Jun on the shoulder, not treating him as his former leader at that moment.

"Brother Sun, just wait for me to come back for dinner."

Yang Jun patted him on the shoulder in return.

This time, Yang Jun didn't need to go to Zhou Qiang and his son again, nor did he need to make another trip to the office. He was directly taken by Sun Buyong to an airport runway.

"Here you are, this is the plane you will be taking."

After saying that, Sun Yongbu actually glanced at him with a hint of envy.

Why is it that when the three of them go on a mission together, they all buy train tickets, but when Yang Jun goes alone, he can fly? That's really outrageous.

"Thanks, Brother Sun. I'll bring you something nice when I get back."

"Hehe, it's a deal, I heard you." (End of Chapter)
