Yonghe Road

Chapter 61 Mr. Lei

It was the third or fourth month of the lunar calendar. The mountains and fields were filled with the fresh fragrance of earth. The sun enveloped the mountain breeze, making the cool breeze mixed with a hint of warmth.

Lei Sheng held the steering wheel steadily, carrying Lin Yingying and the child, winding his way up to the top of the mountain.

"Falling asleep." Lei Sheng smiled at Lin Yingying.

Lin Yingying looked down at the child in her arms. The child was sleeping quietly. The pink little face was faintly glowing in the sunlight coming through the car window, and the long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the eyelids.

"Children always like to sleep in the car," said Lin Yingying.

"It's better than crying in the car," Lei Sheng said, "crying means you're carsick..."

Lin Yingying gently stroked the child's hand in her arms, her eyes gentle and peaceful, her hair fluttering softly beside her cheek in the breeze. Occasionally, she turned her head to look out the window, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation for the unknown journey, and she ignored Lei Sheng's concerned greeting: "You don't get carsick, do you?"

Although he did not get a reply from Lin Yingying, Lei Sheng glanced at Lin Yingying sideways and she should not be carsick.

So Lei Sheng stepped on the accelerator hard.

The car climbed higher and higher along the mountain road. The trees on both sides grew taller and denser, and the sunlight could only filter through the gaps between the leaves, casting scattered spots of light. The wild flowers and grasses along the road swayed gracefully in the spring breeze, and unknown birds sang happily in the branches.

Popular songs were also playing in the car from the car stereo.

At this moment, time is beautiful.

"Sister-in-law, we're almost there," Lei's voice broke the silence in the car. He pointed out the window, "Look, that's our 'Sweet Honey' cliff bee breeding base."

Lin Yingying looked out the car window in the direction he pointed. She only caught a glimpse of the beehives on the cliff in the distance, and as the car moved forward quickly, they were blocked by the tall trees on the side of the road.

We soon arrived at the "sweet" farmhouse villa and heard a lot of noise from afar. As expected, dozens of employees from a state-owned enterprise in the city were holding a weekend team-building activity here.

As Lei Sheng parked his car and got out, a customer who knew him started to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Lei!" Other customers, both known and unknown, followed suit. Amidst the constant "Mr. Lei, Mr. Lei," Lei Sheng finally couldn't help but respond: "Are you ok?"

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When Lin Yingying got out of the car holding her child, she saw the crowd surrounding Lei Sheng, and she couldn't help feeling timid and inferior.

Lei Sheng turned around and waved to her: "Come here."

Everyone noticed the woman walking slowly with the child in her arms, and asked Lei Sheng when he got married and even had a child. This misunderstanding made Lin Yingying very uncomfortable, her face burning, but Lei Sheng had already explained: "Oh, this is my sister-in-law."

"Mr. Lei is an only child, he doesn't even have a brother, so how could he have a sister-in-law?" His acquaintances knew Lei Sheng well, and some even joked, "Nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing is more fun than a sister-in-law."

This time Lei Sheng's face turned serious and he said, "Don't take the joke too far."

Thinking of his identity as a businessman, he quickly smiled and said he would make hand-ground coffee for everyone.

So he invited Lin Yingying into the house and ran to the bar to make hand-ground coffee. The waitress Xiao Li hurried to help him.

He quickly prepared a pot of hand-ground coffee, poured a cup for Lin Yingying first, and then asked Xiao Li to take it outside to greet the guests who came for the team-building event.

"Sister-in-law, try my hand-ground coffee." Lei Sheng greeted Lin Yingying enthusiastically.

Lin Yingying, feeling somewhat embarrassed, said, "Niuniu is still breastfeeding..." Her face flushed. Lei Sheng looked up at the ceiling to ease his embarrassment, then drank his coffee and led Lin Yingying out the back door toward the cliff bee breeding base.

"Niuniu hasn't woken up yet, let me hold her." Lei Sheng extended his hand enthusiastically.

Lin Yingying was still hesitating, and Lei Sheng said, "He just fell asleep and isn't shy. He won't cry even if I hold him. I'll let you rest for a while. You've been holding him all the way. Being a mother is really not easy."

Lin Yingying no longer refused and handed the child to Lei Sheng. Seeing Lei Sheng walking in front with the child in his arms, she couldn't help but stare at Lei Sheng's back in a trance. His words "It's not easy to be a mother" made her inexplicably want to cry.

"Sister-in-law, come quickly and take a look at the edible roses I planted."

Lin Yingying hurriedly trotted to catch up, making small talk: "Lei Sheng, seeing how skillfully you hold the child, whoever marries you in the future will be so lucky. You will definitely be a good husband and a good father."

The thunder said, "Spring water!"

Lin Yingying was stunned. Lei Sheng actually took her sigh as a question. She couldn't help but smile: "Indeed, Chunshui will be so happy to marry you in the future."

"When Chunshui and I get married, Niuniu should be able to walk, right? Then she can be a flower girl for Chunshui and me."

Lei Sheng was very happy and painted a very delicious cake for himself.

Lin Yingying asked, "Do you She people also have the custom of having flower girls at weddings?"

Lei Sheng said, "That's not the case. However, if Chunshui and I get married, we'll have two weddings. First, we'll have one in the village according to the She ethnic group's wedding customs, just like you and Brother Ziwang got married. Then, we'll have a Western-style wedding in a five-star hotel in the city. I'll wear a suit, Chunshui will wear a wedding dress, and Niuniu will carry the flower basket and be our flower girl. Chunshui is her aunt, and I'll be her uncle, so I have to give Niuniu a big red envelope..."

Lei Sheng walked briskly and laughed out loud with happiness.

Lin Yingying also smiled.

Before I knew it, I had reached the edge of the rose field.

The edible rose field stretched across the flat ground like a vibrant tapestry. The roses, a vibrant riot of color, from pale pink to deep crimson, were in bud or in full bloom, their green leaves a perfect backdrop, complementing the blossoms beautifully. The gentle breeze carried the fragrance of the flowers.

Lin Yingying was stunned by the scene before her. Her eyes widened instantly and she forgot to breathe for a moment.

The most beautiful April in the world is realized at this moment.

"Sister-in-law, let me take a picture for you." Lei Sheng's voice brought Lin Yingying back to her senses. Her mind was still stuck. She saw Lei Sheng holding Niu Niu in one hand and taking out a mobile phone from his pocket with the other hand. She was about to pick up Niu Niu, but Lei Sheng waved his hand to refuse.

"Sister-in-law, let me take a solo photo of you and ask you to pose in a few places." Lei Sheng had already turned on the camera.

What a clever young man.

Lin Yingying hurriedly struck several poses, each of which involved making the scissors hand gesture, which was both clumsy and cute.

Lei Sheng actually ran over again, stood in front of Lin Yingying, raised his phone high, turned on the front camera, and Lin Yingying made an awkward "Yeah" behind him again.

This is a strange and rare selfie. Lei Sheng and Lin Yingying, mother and child, are all frozen in the picture, and the sleeping child magically opens his eyes at this moment, showing a soft and cute smile to the camera of the mobile phone.

"Buzz buzz buzz", a bee flew over at this time and left a kiss on the child's cute smiling face.

The child realized it later and was stunned for three seconds before bursting into earth-shaking tears.
