Chapter 141 Booming 141 Previous chapter table of contents next chapter  Baitao, who was originally expressionless, nodded distantly when he saw them here.

Gu Qingqing also nodded slightly, and then said to Xu Nian: "It seems that this matter is gone, Yu Ruan is leaving."

"No, I heard that I almost pushed Baitao to the ground. If Yu Cheng hadn't been at home, I don't know what the trouble would have been." A sister-in-law from the South District lowered her voice and added something.

Her family lived next door to the Yu family. Although others didn't know who Yu Ruan was, she knew exactly who he was. Every time Company Commander Yu went to the cave, the Yu family started to quarrel.

Yu Ruan also pretended to be innocent and deceived the unsuspecting sisters-in-law in the east and west districts, asking them to introduce her to her, but no one paid attention to her in the south district.

Gu Qingqing finally knew what happened that day and sighed: "Sister Taozi's life will be better when she leaves."

"That's right." Xu Nian saw that the military wife was carrying her things to chat with others, and she also said, "People like this are a disaster if they stay on the island. They almost made our Deputy Company Commander Chen a fool."

Chen Jiefang directly raised his hands and surrendered: "Okay, please let me go. I have been laughed at by the dozen or so people in the Corps for a week."

Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, Brother Jiefang, hurry up and see when they will leave the mission, and help me capture them all."

"Promise to complete the task." Chen Jiefang ran away with a smile and disappeared into the coconut grove in the distance.

Gu Qingqing took Xu Nian and found a stone pillar to sit on. Xu Nian looked at the pile on the ground with a little envy: "I have been on the island for so long, and I have never sent anything to my family."

"It's okay. If you like anything, you can share half of it. Which one of us will follow the other?" Gu Qingqing said without caring.

She clenched her fists with five fingers and gently and slowly beat her legs. Recently, she didn't know why her legs were sore after walking for a long time. She obviously didn't have a big belly.

"You can keep it for yourself, I'll just go to your place to get some food." Xu Nian knew that she was telling the truth, and felt warm in his heart, shaking his head.

Gu Qingqing didn't try to persuade her any more, but looked at the people coming and going, "What my sisters-in-law like to buy most is flour. It seems that there are more people in the Corps than in the Military Region on our island."

"Not necessarily," Xu Nian also rubbed his calves and said in a soft voice: "Many of my sisters-in-law are from the north and married to soldiers from the south. They all follow women at home and eat less rice and more pasta."

She and Gu Qingqing are both from the central region and eat both rice and noodles. Because they grow rice, they eat more rice.

Gu Qingqing nodded and glanced at Baitao. The three of them were deadlocked there, as if they were alienated and not talking to anyone.

After the items on the supply ship were almost cleared, the captain came down and said a few words to Yu Cheng, and then brought Yu Ruan on board.

As soon as Yu Ruan stepped onto the deck, two navy men wearing navy gray military uniforms followed her on the left and right.

Gu Qingqing understood that this was to send her to the Southern Military Region to begin a two-month review.

Not long after, the ship sailed away again, sailing away and disappearing on the sea level.

"It's finally quiet." Xu Nian breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just as Gu Qingqing was about to nod and agree, she saw Baitao ignoring Yu Cheng who was talking to her and walking over.

"Qing Qing." Baitao hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "Can I go to your house to pick some peppers?"

"Ah? Okay." Gu Qingqing understood what she meant and nodded with a smile: "Of course, we are friends."

This sentence made Baitao, who had been tensed for several days, burst into tears. She was too tired these days, and she didn't know who to tell. She had to cook and send Xiaoyang to school every day, and she had to face the problems when she got home. Nguyen.

Today I sent someone away, and the big rocks and dark clouds weighing on my heart finally dissipated.

Gu Qingqing understood her mood and helped Xu Nian get up: "Come to my place to eat at noon today. I happened to have sent some things from home. When you pick up Xiaoyang, you can pick up my A Sui and have dinner together."

"Okay." Baitao did not refuse her kindness. As for Yu Cheng, there was food in the cafeteria, so he couldn't starve.

The three women chatted all the way back to the last courtyard in the North District. It was okay to leave the things at the dock. Chen Jiefang and the others would get them back. Even if they weren't there to watch, no one would take them.

There are no clouds in the sky, and the sky is clear and blue.

The weather is nice, but a bit sunny.

Chu Dai originally wanted to plant some grapes in the pergola, but later she saw that Gu Qingqing liked the flowers on the fence and wall, so she transplanted a few climbing roses and covered the roof of the shed.

Xu Nian and Baitao sat down to take a breath. Gu Qingqing went to the kitchen to make two cups of sugar water and brought them out, "You guys take a breath first. It's still early. We'll pick peppers later."

Baitao nodded while holding the enamel cup. She didn't really come here to pick peppers.

Gu Qingqing also went to make a cup of sugar water and took out a bowl of pickled radish sticks from the kimchi jar.

Putting it in the largest sea bowl, Xu Nian swallowed subconsciously.

The sour taste is so tempting.

The three women chatted about the island's gossip while eating, and Baitao gradually relaxed.

"My fabric should have arrived today. I'm going to see Xiao Huanniang in the afternoon to make two clothes. Sister Taozi, you still have some materials with me. Can we go together?"

"That's for your Asui." Bai Tao bit into the crispy sour radish strips and whispered, "How can you take back what you gave away?"

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Huanniang to make the clothes and give them to your baby. That's okay this time." Gu Qingqing didn't follow her around, staring at Xu Nian's belly: "Sister A Nian, baby Have you started making my son's clothes?"

"Well, I have been sewing and mending at home during this time." Xu Nian said rather embarrassedly: "My sisters-in-law also gave me some clothes for the little ones at home, saying that they didn't need them, and the three or four in the family didn't want to Reborn, old clothes are comfortable to wear.”

"Yes, they are all cotton clothes, how can they be uncomfortable? My Xiaoyang had quite a few when he was a child. There is no need to make new ones for the ones in his belly. Qingqing, why don't I give you some?"

"No need, I should have prepared it at home. You can just keep it for your baby."

"That's okay too."

Several women chatted until about eleven o'clock and started picking vegetables in the backyard. Gu Qingqing and Baitao were more mobile. The two women squatted next to the vegetable patch to discuss the recipes. In the end, they both said they wanted to eat leek and shrimp dumplings.

I simply cut a handful of leeks and pulled out a piece of cabbage to make dumplings stuffed with pork.

The arrival of the supply ship just made up for the meat that the family had eaten. Now that meat cannot be stored in summer, and only the battalion headquarters has a large refrigerator, Gu Qingqing is too lazy to go that far, so she thinks she might as well finish it in these two days.

After they mixed the noodles and mixed the leek and shrimp filling, the men also finished their tasks and carried large and small bags to the yard.

Chen Jiefang directly called all the people from the corps, including Chu Dai and Zhao Ze, but none of them were defeated.

A dozen men brought things back in one trip, and they were piled up in the yard.

"Sister, I've brought your things back for you. We're going to the canteen." Chen Jiefang called to the kitchen.

"No, you guys stay for dinner. We're cooking cabbage and pork dumplings for lunch." Gu Qingqing hurried out, her hands covered with white flour.

"Come tomorrow, I can still drink some wine during my vacation tomorrow." Another one said with a smile: "Sister, see if the Corps has sent any peanuts. If so, I will give my brothers two plates tomorrow." They are very happy if they have wine and peanuts. Beautiful.

"Okay, remember to come over tomorrow night, I will prepare all the dishes."

"Okay."

After saying hello, they went out one after another, and finally only Chu Dai and Zhao Ze were left.

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Ze looked at the linen bags on the floor and couldn't help but want to open them and take a look: "Sister Qingqing, stop working so hard and come and see what they are. I'm even curious."

"Here we come." Gu Qingqing was going to get some meat to chop stuffing. They came back from the dock empty-handed and didn't take anything.

There were linen bags all over the floor, and she was hesitant about which one to open first. In the end, she opened the things she had asked the captain to bring first. She gave Chu Dai the rice, flour, oil, salt, and meat to take in.

Then first unpack the package sent from Datunzi Village.

Baitao washed her hands and came out of the house: "It's time for school to be over, Qingqing. I'll go and bring the two children back first."

"Okay." Gu Qingqing took out the contents of the first sack, which included canned pickles, dried radishes and other dried vegetables. Finally, she got cured fish and bacon.

"Your family has sent everything to you, right?" Xu Nian walked out at some point, holding a small bench for Gu Qingqing to sit on and unpack.

"My grandma and aunt love me the most. They must be afraid that I won't have enough meat to eat on the island." Gu Qingqing's eyes were a little red, and she continued to unpack other things while holding back her tears.

This time there are various small clothes and shoes, two sets of each style, and they are all prepared for one boy and one girl. This is because we are looking forward to having a twin.

There are also diapers cut from old cotton clothes. Everything is prepared for her.

Xu Nian looked envious.

After unpacking the ones from her mother's family, Gu Qingqing started to unpack the ones from the Construction Corps. There were also two bags. One bag was purchased by Gu Qinglie as she asked Sun Shufen to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

There are cloths, candies, cigarettes, and various snacks.

Among them, the candy and cigarettes were obviously brought to his brother Chu Dai.

The other bag was sent by Yu Fugui. I originally thought it was sweet potatoes, but it was too heavy.

When she opened it, Gu Qingqing was stunned, and Chu Dai didn't speak for a long time.

"What is this?" Zhao Ze poked his head in to look, and then he was also dumbfounded: "Dried fish and dried meat? Lao Yu must have lost his mind and gone crazy."

He was calculating food expenses every day, and he was stingy to the point of being stingy.

"There is another letter." Gu Qingqing took out a piece of paper underneath and handed it to Chu Dai after reading it: "It's Commander Guan, Uncle Zhang from the Military Supplies Department, and Uncle Zhu from the pig farm who pooled their money to support me." Uncle bought it."

Chu Dai was silent for a moment, then patted the letter into Zhao Ze's arms: "It's not all for us, it's for the brothers, and it's your share. You can divide it up later and send it to them."

After hearing this, Zhao Ze pushed up his glasses and read the letter. After reading it, he felt mixed emotions: "Otherwise, the Corps is still thinking about us. After all, we are my mother's family, so it's different."

Chu Dai nodded casually, his eyes falling on the last few large sacks.

It was sent from the Southern Military Region, with the military region logo on it.

Gu Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Brother, are you going to take it apart?"

"You can take it apart." Chu Dai stood behind her. The small stool had no backrest, which allowed her to lean on her legs, making it less strenuous.

Chapter 142 Booming 142 Previous chapter table of contents next chapter  Gu Qingqing leaned back slightly, with her back against the man's knees, and opened the linen bag and took out things from inside.

"Honey, malted milk, brown sugar, canned orange syrup and canned yellow peaches." Gu Qingqing muttered and took out all these, as well as a thick stack of fabrics, almost all of which were blue and black. She slightly He raised his head and asked the man: "There are also two packs of White Rabbit toffees. I'll give them to you, dad."

The man didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Aunt!" Yu Yang heard his mother say that he would eat pork dumplings at his aunt's house at noon, and he rushed in happily: "I'm here!"

Gu Qingqing also turned her attention to Yu Yang. After Yu Ruan returned, he was not sad at all but looked more lively.

"Xiaoyang is here, Auntie will give you some sweets." Gu Qingqing's eyebrows arched. She did not touch the white rabbit in the bag, but grabbed a handful of sweets from the man's pocket and stuffed them into his hand.

Yu Yang was very happy now, and Baitao shook his head: "Qingqing, don't always give him candies in the future. There are still some at home, and they were given by you. Candies are expensive and cost money, so you can keep them for yourself."

She actually didn't quite understand why the Chu family kept so many candies, and Battalion Commander Chu was a big man who always had candies in his pocket. She originally thought they were for Qingqing, but she saw him eating candies several times. .

"It's okay, kid. It's okay to eat some candy." Gu Qingqing slowly stood up holding the hand of the man behind her, and stuffed two more candies into Xu Nian: "Sister A-Nian, let's go cook dumplings." it's time for lunch."

"Okay." Xu Nian and Baitao both went to the kitchen.

Chu Dai, Zhao Ze, and Shen Sui, who came in behind, moved everything in the yard to the living room.

Zhao Ze said: "I really can't believe that Lao Yu didn't stuff potatoes and sweet potatoes into the sack this time. There was a bag full of dried meat and peanuts and soybeans. It's so thoughtful."

"Want to go back?" Chu Dai held several jars of honey in his hand and looked at him sideways: "In 5, 6, 78 years, when Laoguan retires, you can go back to your parents' home."

"Then let's think about it in our hearts first." Zhao Ze glanced at Shen Sui and Yu Yang, who was following him with a blushing face and holding the sack, and asked: "I heard that you want to separate the living room upstairs from two rooms. Come to a room?"

"Yes." Chu Dai put the honey and malted milk into the cupboard in the corner of the living room, and closed the cupboard door: "There are three children at home now. There may be more in the future, so prepare them first."

"You really raise Shen Sui as your own son." Zhao Ze smiled and said, "That's good, too. I heard that Teacher Han said that your Shen Sui has a very flexible mind and can memorize the text after reciting it once. It’s a pity to just be a soldier.”

"A big shot will come to the island in a while, and it might be this kid's chance."

Zhao Ze was mysterious. Chu Dai wanted to ask, so he ran outside to the yard.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly and turned sideways to look at the boy who had moved all the dried meat to the living room and was waiting for Zhao Zefen. He also felt that it was a pity for this boy to go to the front line to fight.

In the living room upstairs there are some military books that he brought from the military area. They were all stuffed at home by Chu Yuan when he was a child. Shen Sui has also been reading them these days.

"Brother?" Gu Qingqing poked her head out of the kitchen: "The dumplings are cooked, can you come and carry them?"

The steaming dumplings had just come out of the pot and were served in a large aluminum pot. The three pregnant women did not dare to move.

"Here we come." Chu Dai withdrew his eyes from the boy and spoke in a lazy voice.

For lunch, she had leek and shrimp dumplings and pork and cabbage dumplings, and Gu Qingqing grabbed a handful of pickled radish strips.

Chu Dai brought out a bottle of vinegar and soy sauce and said to Zhao Ze, "Make whatever dipping sauce you want."

"I know, how dare I bother you, Commander Chu, to do it yourself." Zhao Ze didn't touch the vinegar, so he took the soy sauce and poured some into the bowl.

Seeing that Gu Qingqing was eating well, he joked: "When my A-Nian was pregnant, she vomited so much that she lost half a circle of weight, but yours' appetite is getting better and better."

"It's a blessing to be able to eat." Chu Dai just said this.

Zhao Ze originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Baitao and Yu Yang there, he couldn't let go.

If it were just Chu Dai and his family, they would be able to make any kind of joke. They were so familiar with it that they were too embarrassed to just forget about it now that there were outsiders present.

Yu Yang ate the most delicious food, one bite after another. After finishing the bowl, he looked eagerly into the pot. Seeing that Baitao was a little embarrassed, Gu Qingqing stood up and took Yu Yang's bowl, and filled him with more dumplings with a smile -

"Xiao Yang will grow taller if he eats more. If it's not enough, tell Auntie that there's still a lot in the pot."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Yu Yang glanced at his mother and saw her smiling and nodding, then he took the bowl and continued eating.

Auntie's dumplings are big and fragrant, with a lot of meat, and every bite is full of oil. Unlike the dumplings made every time at home, they are almost just the skin.

After eating, Zhao Ze helped pick up the table and let Chu Dai wash the dishes. He divided the things sent by the Corps into fifteen parts according to the instructions of taking care of Qingqing, and planned to send them to the brothers later.

Baitao didn't have a share, so Gu Qingqing asked her to take a piece of dried meat back to the baby. She refused several times, so the woman simply gave it to Yu Yang and asked him to carry it back first.

When Yu Yang saw the meat, he immediately ran away with it, making Baitao's face turn red with anger.

"Qingqing, I always eat what you have and take what's yours, how can you be so embarrassed?" Baitao sighed.

Gu Qingqing just smiled and waved her hand, "What a big deal. My family has just given it to you to try. They are all military families who serve the country. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't give it to you."

The corner of Baitao's mouth moved. She originally wanted to ask her if she didn't hate Yu Cheng and his sister, but when she saw the smile on the woman's face, she knew that this matter was settled as soon as Yu Ruan got off the island.

She nodded gratefully, "Qingqing, thank you."

Gu Qingqing didn't say much, she just went back to the living room to get a plastic bag and filled it with the peppers she picked in the vegetable garden: "Actually, I know that your family doesn't like spicy food very much."

Baitao's eyes widened, and then she also smiled: "Yes, I just want to find a chance to talk to you. I'm afraid that our relationship will become estranged because of Yu Ruan."

"She is her and you are you. It's not like I can't tell the difference." Gu Qingqing tied the plastic bag and handed it to her: "This chili fried pork is very delicious. You can try it. It's spicy occasionally. For a change.”

Baitao looked at her deeply and couldn't help but smile.

"Sister Taozi, why are you laughing?" Gu Qingqing was puzzled.

"No, I just think it's natural that Battalion Commander Chu likes you. If I were a man, I would have to find ways to marry you into my family."

"Right." Gu Qingqing was a little proud: "I think so too. Chu Dai has found a treasure."

"That's right." Xu Nian, who didn't know when he appeared, smiled softly behind them: "It's a blessing that we can be friends with you. Honey, I'll go home and take a nap first. Your nephew keeps kicking me and carrying me. Can’t stand anymore.”

"Okay, okay." Gu Qingqing didn't leave her alone: "Everyone from the Corps will come over for dinner tomorrow night. Don't forget to come over in advance to prepare the menu with me."

"OK."

After they all went back, Gu Qingqing went into the living room to sort out the things. Seeing Shen Sui folding the empty linen bags and tying them into a ball with rope, she said, "A Sui, put them in the utility room. I'll tell you later." Might not be useful."

It is said to be a utility room, but it is actually a small space under the stairs behind the living room, where you can usually store some things.

Chu Dai came out after washing the dishes, wiped his hands and asked her, "Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a nap?"

"I'm not sleepy, brother, I want to eat canned yellow peaches." Gu Qingqing looked at him with a smile.

Chu Dai didn't even ask if he was not full. He went directly to the cupboard to get a can of yellow peach and opened it: "I'll get you a spoon."

"Pour it into a bowl and give it to Sui to taste," the woman said.

"No, sister, eat." Shen Sui came out of the utility room and shook his head at the man.

The man chuckled, knowing that the boy was afraid that his sister would stutter less after eating it, and how could a child not want to eat.

"Have a try. I gave you half a bowl because you just finished eating the dumplings and you can't eat one can. If you want to eat in the future, you can go to the cupboard and get them. You can buy them after you finish eating." Chu Dai was always a thoughtful person and naturally knew that the boy of sensitivity.

I brought out two porcelain bowls from the kitchen. There were slices of sweet yellow peach meat in the bowls. I handed the bowls and spoons to the boy. He said, "Go back to your room to eat. Do your homework and sleep for half an hour. Get up on time." Go to school."

Shen Sui obediently obeyed and went upstairs with the bowl.

Gu Qingqing was also carried into the bedroom by the man and asked her to sit on the bed. She was covered in ashes and sat on the chair next to her.

The porcelain bowl was placed on the table by the man. He held the spoon in his right hand and fed her sugar water. Gu Qingqing put her legs on his knees and the man squeezed her slowly with his left hand.

"Zhao Ze said today that a big shot will come to the island in a while, which may affect Ah Sui's future choices." The man leaned on the back of his chair and spoke to the woman in a lazy tone.

Gu Qingqing took a few sips and shook her head, "You should try it too. This is a good thing. Wouldn't it be great if the big man pointed out a direction that Ah Sui had never encountered before and liked it very much after getting to know it?"

The man nodded slightly and took a sip of the sugar water. He didn't like the sweet taste too much. He took another spoonful of fruit pulp and handed it to her mouth. He continued to massage her calves without stopping.

"Tomorrow we have a day off. The second batch of people are on duty on the island. It happens that there are so many people that the living room upstairs is blocked. Just scrape the wall and move two beds and two cabinets into the empty building."

"It's all up to you." Gu Qingqing leaned against the bed and couldn't help but yawned: "You have to go to the cave in the afternoon, right? Do you want to rest for a while? Wake up and call me, and I'll go to Xiaohuanniang with you. There, bring the fabric over to make two sets of clothes for you and A Sui. Didn't Sister Taozi leave a piece of fabric last time? Let's take it over and make it for her Xiaoyang."

The man heard that she had planned everything and asked with a smile: "Don't you make new clothes yourself? Don't I have clothes to wear? Don't worry about me."

"Those clothes of yours were all sewn and mended. There was a surplus of fabric. We bought it ourselves, and my brother sent it over. Dad also sent a lot, and we can save some to make clothes for the children later. Just listen to me now and wear it when the time comes."

"Okay, it's all up to you," the man laughed out loud.

Gu Qingqing finished eating the canned yellow peach and slept on the bed for a while. The man took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it, then returned and sat on the chair.

He tilted his head slightly against the back of the chair, glanced sideways at her, and closed his eyes when he saw her sleeping with her arms folded across her chest.

After sleeping for half an hour, Gu Qingqing got up and took a drink of water. The man spread the quilt again, and the two children, one large and one small, left the yard at the same time.

After sending Shen Sui to school, Gu Qingqing followed the man and took the cloth in his hand: "You go to the cave, be careful and pay attention to safety. I will go find Xiao Huanniang first. Remember to come back for dinner in the evening. .”

"Yes." The man looked at her with his dark eyes, worried that it would be difficult to kiss her outside, so he just raised his hand and rubbed her hair, "What fruit do you want to eat tonight, or hawthorn?"

"It's up to you. I'll eat whatever you pick."

"Okay." The man put his hand on her belly again and said warmly: "Stay with grandma. Dad is on a mission and will bring you food when he comes back."

Chapter 143 Booming 143 Previous chapter table of contents next chapter  Time flies, two months pass quickly.

Gu Qingqing often runs to Xu Nian recently, and it is convenient for the two families to be close to each other.

Xu Nian's belly was already very big. The female military doctor said that she would give birth at any time in the next few days and asked her to pay more attention to walking around so that she would suffer less pain.

On this day, Gu Qingqing helped her walk slowly on the path outside. The two women's bellies were obvious. She was twins, and she looked like she was five months pregnant.

"Brother Ze has been running home three or two times a day lately, just because he's afraid that I'm going to give birth suddenly..." Before she could speak, the smile on her face froze, and the hand holding Gu Qingqing visibly stiffened.

"Sister A-Nian?" Gu Qingqing saw that her expression was wrong, "What's wrong with you?"

"...I might be giving birth," Xu Nian breathed a long sigh of relief, seeing that she was a little at a loss, holding back the strange feeling and contraction pain, "Don't be anxious, Qing Qing, help me go to the health center and walk slowly."

Gu Qingqing was so anxious that she wanted to carry her and run directly to the health center. She looked at her belly and hers, and helped her to walk slowly. Fortunately, she had already walked a long way, and it was just a short walk to the health center. A matter of ten minutes.

Xu Nian had been taken over by female military doctors and put into the operating room. Zhao Ze was originally on a mission in the cave with the team, but Gu Qingqing asked a soldier to call him back.

"Sister Qingqing, where is A-Nian?!" Zhao Ze was covered in mud and sand, sweat dripping down his cheeks, and he also carried a medicine box on his back.

Gu Qingqing sat down on the chair next to her and took a breath: "Don't worry, you will be fine in the operating room. You will be a father in a while."

How could Zhao Ze rest assured? As the old saying goes, a woman who gives birth is one foot in the door of hell, not to mention that the medical level on the island is not at the same level as that of Nanyang Provincial Hospital.

He was walking around in the hall outside. Gu Qingqing's heart was pounding and she was so nervous.

Fortunately, the men also finished their tasks. Chu Dai knew that she was here and came over directly. When he saw her sitting on the chair, one hand holding the back of the chair and the other making a fist on her chest, he ignored the mud on her body and went first. A glass of water was poured for her next to her.

"Qingqing." The man bent his long legs and squatted down to face her, his eyebrows soft: "Don't be afraid, drink some water first."

"Brother." When Gu Qingqing saw the man's appearance, she wanted to throw herself into his arms. She had been pretending to be calm just now, but everything collapsed at this moment.

"It's okay." Chu Dai comforted her softly, "These military doctors are all transferred from the military hospital."

After hearing what he said, the woman holding the enamel cup was almost in tears: "The military hospital, like Brother Zhao, only performs surgery and does not care about giving birth to children."

The man couldn't help but couldn't help it for some reason, and a smile escaped from his throat: "Military family members in the army also send their babies to the military hospital, not the field hospital, the one who pulls the knife on the front line like Zhao Ze."

Zhao Ze, who was originally running around like a headless fly, heard the couple's words and shouted speechlessly: "I don't just know how to pull a knife in a war zone!"

After shouting out, his impatience subsided. He pulled up a chair and stood directly at the door of the operating room. He stared at the light on the door through the lenses of his glasses.

Chu Dai stood up and let Gu Qingqing lean on his waist. He reached out and held the woman's right hand, silently supporting her.

Fortunately, Xu Nian's delivery went smoothly. After about 40 minutes of clear crying, the female military doctor came out holding the baby.

As soon as the door was opened, they were all startled when they saw Zhao Ze standing dumbfounded at the door: "Military Doctor Zhao..."

Zhao Ze quickly stood up and looked at the child wrapped in military green sheets without blinking.

"It's a boy, weighing six pounds and twenty taels. He was born at 12:23 in the morning. I'll take him and wash him first. You go see my sister-in-law and think of a name quickly." After saying this, the female military doctor hugged the child and left.

Zhao Ze stood on tiptoe and couldn't help but want to take another look. Gu Qingqing was helped over by Chu Dai and asked, "Can I go in to see Sister Anian now?"

"Just now the military doctor said it was okay." Zhao Ze turned around and entered the ward.

Chu Dai stood at the door and said to Gu Qingqing: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

The woman nodded, thinking about Xu Nian and rushing to see how she was doing.

On the hospital bed, Xu Nian's hair was stuck to his face and his body was very weak.

Zhao Ze stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. In the end, Gu Qingqing pushed him away and asked Xu Nian: "Sister A Nian, how are you feeling now? Are you hungry? I'll go back and make you a stew. Chicken soup?"

Xu Nian reached out from the quilt and grabbed her wrist, shaking his head: "I'm not hungry. Qingqing, please talk to me for a while."

Only now did Zhao Ze come back to his senses, "A-Nian, I'm going to the canteen to ask Lao Zhu to help make a big bone soup. Just wait for me and I'll be here soon!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away. Zhao Ze was still a little confused when he left the health center, and his mind was in chaos.

It took me a while to realize that I was a father! There was another burst of ecstasy in my heart.

"Qingqing, can you pour me a glass of water? I'm so thirsty." Xu Nian's voice was very weak.

"Okay, okay, I'll be right away." There was no thermos in the ward, so Gu Qingqing hurried outside. When she met the questioning eyes of the man at the door, she nodded slightly to indicate that it was nothing serious.

He hurriedly poured half a glass of water, then took another enamel cup and mixed it repeatedly. He touched the wall of the cup with his fingers and felt that it was almost warm water before giving it to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian drank in small sips, and Gu Qingqing didn't press her. When she finished drinking, she took the enamel cup and put it on the bedside table.

"Qingqing, thank you for being here." Xu Nian had only this sentence out of a thousand words.

Not only because she was by my side when she was about to give birth, but also because she is by my side now.

Gu Qingqing comforted her in a gentle voice: "You didn't know just now how anxious Brother Zhao was outside. He was also thinking about you. Suddenly, Dang Dang didn't react. I heard from the sentry outside that he had a headache when he went out. He even knocked on the door."

Xu Nian's expression relaxed, "Where's the child? I just took a look and wanted you to take a look too."

"The military doctor took him to clean him, and he will bring him over later. You see, the military doctor asked Brother Zhao to quickly think of a name for the child. He patted his head and went to the cafeteria to make soup for you." Gu Qingqing held her hand. Hands, voice soft: "What you are worried about has not happened. Don't think about who he prefers. Anyway, I can't interfere while you are in confinement and I am taking care of others. It is even more impossible to go to the island now."

Xu Nian put her head against the bedside behind her. She saw Chu Dai standing at the door and nodded slightly to him.

The man nodded his chin slightly in response.

When Zhao Ze comes back from the cafeteria, dinner will begin.

Fortunately, he still had some conscience and didn't get dizzy. In addition to bringing bone soup for Xu Nian, he also brought food for Gu Qingqing and the couple.

Gu Qingqing and Chu Dai were eating in the outside hall, leaving the hospital room for the couple to talk for a while.

Her taste has changed a lot during this period. Sometimes she likes salty things, and sometimes she wants sweet things. She usually rotates pickled cabbage buns and bean paste buns at home.

There happened to be bean paste buns in the canteen today. Chu Dai handed one to her. Gu Qingqing pouted: "Brother, I want to eat pickled buns."

Chu Dai was not upset, and used chopsticks to pick out all the bean paste inside and put it in the lunch box. Later, he would eat it by himself, and stuffed some salty radish dices into the buns.

"Try?" He smiled and handed the bun to her again.

Gu Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then took a bite of the pickled bun with different fillings from his hand, "Huh?" There was a slight disbelief in her eyes, and then she took another bite suspiciously.

In this way, she finished four pickle buns whose cores had been changed by men, and Chu Dai was fed up with the red bean paste.

"Do you still want to eat?" The man fed her another mouthful of millet porridge.

Gu Qingqing put her hand on her belly and said nothing, but she finished all the porridge the man fed her.

The female military doctor who came over with the child saw this scene and said to the comrades next to her: "If I want to see a man on the island, he is Battalion Commander Chu. He is kind to his wife, meticulous and patient. If I had such a considerate man, I would laugh in my dreams." Speak up.”

"Battle Commander Chu and his wife are very nice," another female military doctor said, "They are very easy-going and warm and friendly in dealing with people. I also like such a girl."

"You'd better think about who likes you first." The female military doctor holding the child laughed: "Military Doctor Zhao has already given birth to a child, and Battalion Commander Chu's wife is also pregnant with twins. We are the only two who have not yet been born."

"If it doesn't work, please ask the organization to help make arrangements." The female military doctor was open-minded: "Hurry up and take the child in. Dr. Zhao and his wife will have to wait in a hurry."

They went in. Gu Qingqing touched her belly, pulled back her perked ears, and smiled at the man who was packing the lunch box: "Our Battalion Commander Chu is very popular."

"They all belong to your family. No matter how popular they are, it's all because of you." Chu Dai stood up and asked her, "Go back with me? Xu Nian has Zhao Ze here. He won't go to the cave in the afternoon."

"I'm going to talk to Sister A-Nian." She grabbed the man's arm and stood up, the bones denting her palm.

"No wonder my little nephew always feels that I've treated you badly. I've eaten all your rations. Why are you growing all over my body?" She couldn't help puckering her lips.

"You have two babies in your belly." Chu Dai has been in the Construction Corps for a long time, and his accent is a mixture of northern and southern. "It's better to eat more, I'm afraid you three won't have enough to eat."

Gu Qingqing sighed: "Brother, do you wake up laughing when I dream every night?"

The man was happy and nodded seriously: "Yes, you talk in your sleep because you are lucky to have married me."

The woman pushed him gently and said angrily: "A soldier cannot tell lies."

"Oh, maybe I was talking in my sleep and I misremembered it." The man held the lunch box in his left hand and supported her with his right hand as she walked towards the ward, "I'm glad I married you."

Gu Qingqing was now satisfied. Her increasingly rounded face was rosy and radiant. Since becoming pregnant, she was more supple than before, and her eyes were particularly seductive.

But the little woman didn't realize it and thought she was as naive as before, making men's veins bulge every night.

She entered the ward and said hello to Xu Nian: "I'll make some chicken soup for you when I go home and deliver it to you in the evening. Brother Zhao, stay here and watch."

"Qingqing," Xu Nian said, holding the child in her arms, "don't you look at your nephew?"

Gu Qingqing was now heavy and it was inconvenient to bend down. Zhao Ze took his son from his wife's hand and stood up to hug her.

Gu Qingqing looked at the red, wrinkled face and sparse hair of the little baby in the quilt. She was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Who does my nephew look like to you?"

Xu Nian burst out laughing. She still had some pain in her body and couldn't move. He leaned on the pillow behind her and said to her, "I must look like you, Brother Zhao. I'm prettier than him."

Gu Qingqing glanced at Zhao Ze, who was wearing glasses, and nodded in agreement.

"Like." She said seriously.

This time, Zhao Ze was depressed: "I wonder if you two have never seen a newborn before. They are both wrinkled and ugly. You can't tell who they look like now."

Xu Nian and Gu Qingqing were happy at the same time.

"What's the name? Have you picked it yet?" Gu Qingqing looked at the child again, but she still looked a little ugly.

I couldn't help but worry about the two babies in my belly.

"Zhao Yu." Xu Nian said, "Brother Zhao struggled for a long time between the words Yu and Yu. Finally, he felt that a man should be as tough and upright as a big tree, so he called him this."

"Very good, Zhao Yu." Gu Qingqing took out the red seal she had prepared and stuffed it into the little baby's quilt: "This is Auntie's gift to Xiaoyu. I hope Xiaoyu will grow into a big tree soon."

Chapter 144 Booming 144 Previous chapter table of contents next chapter  "We still have to be so polite in our relationship," Xu Nian couldn't help but chuckle, his face looked much better than before, and he didn't look so pale after drinking bone soup: "Then I will thank his aunt on Xiaoyu's behalf."

Gu Qingqing thought she was going to refuse, but the prepared words were stuck in her throat. In the end, the two women looked at each other to understand each other's thoughts, and laughed out loud.

Zhao Ze didn't understand what the two women were playing in riddles. Looking at his son sleeping soundly with his eyes closed in his arms, he felt soft in his heart.

Gu Qingqing left the ward and went home with Chu Dai.

The man walked very slowly, always walking beside her in a protective manner.

The three-and-a-half-month-old twins were very pregnant, and their bellies were as big as those usually four or five months old. Chu Dai couldn't help but worry after seeing them.

Gu Qingqing has long since given up her bad habits, and her tone is not as anxious as before: "Brother, did you say Asui went home? It's time for dinner, right?"

"He is already twelve years old. Don't worry about him." Chu Dai simply put his arms around the woman's waist and asked her to put her weight slightly on him. "He has learned a lot from Mr. Qin during this time."

The big shot in Zhao Ze's mouth is the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Qin Zhou, a well-known figure among Chinese people. After retiring from office, he couldn't find time to spare and heard that Baisha Island was building a military base for coastal defense and couldn't bear to come over to take a look.

After visiting the military strategic caverns extending in all directions, this elegant old gentleman was reluctant to leave. He wanted to wait here for the base to be built, so he taught on the island and also lived in the North District. Gu Qingqing and the others were in the small building in front of them. .

Shen Sui was the student he accepted by name. He had a photographic memory and was smart, and he won his heart.

In addition to attending classes in school every day, I also went to Qin's hometown after school to listen to him talk about modern history and the establishment of diplomatic relations with various countries.

Under the influence of what he heard and saw, the boy was no longer as gloomy as before, but more elegant and handsome.

Gu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh: "Cultivation of temperament and good teachers are very important."

Chu Dai just smiled in a low voice.

Slowly returning to the yard, Gu Qingqing looked at the pheasants running all over the ground and said to the man: "Catch one and send it to the canteen so that Squad Leader Zhu can help make soup?"

Chu Dai has caught more than ten pheasants intermittently in the past two months, and Chen Jiefang and the others are also responsible for them. He doesn't even bother to raise pheasants at home, let alone raise pheasants if he doesn't have a wife.

We might as well go to Gu Qingqing's place. It would be great to have a drink and some peanuts during the weekdays. During the holidays, we would kill a chicken and go to the back mountain to pick some mushrooms. Not to mention how happy it would be.

In addition, Chu Dai came from the same corps as them, and Gu Qingqing was the sister of everyone in their corps, so she was not restrained at all.

Chu Dai looked at the pheasants running around the yard and said, "Don't worry, you go to sleep for a while to recuperate. I see you yawn after taking two steps."

"I don't know what's going on. I obviously sleep a lot every day but it's not enough." Gu Qingqing followed him into the living room and shouted twice: "A Sui? A Sui, are you at home?"

When she didn't hear a response, she said to the man: "Go up and check to see if he's back. I'm afraid the child hasn't eaten."

"I'm already soft-hearted, but I'm even softer now that I'm a grandma." Even so, the man still put down his lunch box and went upstairs to take a look.

"I haven't replied, and my schoolbag is not at home either. It's probably at Mr. Qin's place."

Gu Qingqing felt relieved now, "Then I'll go take a nap. I'm really sleepy. Don't forget to take the pheasant to the canteen."

"I know." The man accompanied her into the room, bent down to help her take off her shoes, looked at the woman's swollen legs, and said distressedly: "Go to sleep, I will rub it for you."

Gu Qingqing nodded in confusion. After she lay down, Chu Dai pulled the thin quilt on one side and covered her with it. His long white fingers slowly rubbed her calf.

The woman hummed comfortably and quickly closed her eyes.

Chu Dai sat on the chair next to her, moving her hands gently, looking at her slightly tired face, she couldn't help but sigh.

She said she wanted to have a second child before, but now she has no idea at all. Whatever comes out will be whatever comes out. He recognizes his son and daughter and doesn't want her to suffer anymore.

I don't know if she was dreaming about something. The woman frowned slightly and muttered.

The man couldn't help but leaned forward and put his ear close to her lips to hear what she was saying. The muttering showed that there was a warm, moist and soft touch in his ear.

He was slightly startled, and when he raised his head, he met the woman's clear almond eyes.

Gu Qingqing didn't fall asleep so quickly at all. With a smile on her face, she reached out to hold the man's face and kissed his soft lips.

"Brother, I'm really not working hard at all. Compared to your tiredness, it's nothing. I just go out for a walk every day and chat with my sisters-in-law. I finish everything at home before going to school. When I come back I also keep my house in good order after returning home.”

"And you, you always find ways to satisfy me when I want to eat. You never mind if I bother you. Even when I come home so tired every day, you rub olive oil on my legs and rub my legs."

"Brother, I really love you so much." The little woman's brows and eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and only his slim and tall figure could be seen.

Chu Dai protected the back of her head with his hands. The sweet toffee smell of the man enveloped her whole body, and he kissed her without hesitation.

There was a sweet smell in her nose. Gu Qingqing squeaked, and the man stepped away from her, leaning on the back of the chair and breathing slowly.

Gu Qingqing's eyes moved down, and when she landed on something, she couldn't help but smile slyly, "Brother, I'm three months old now."

The man rested his elbows on the back of the chair and put his fingers between his eyebrows. The blue blood vessels on the back of his fair hands were clearly visible. He looked at her angrily, almost gritting his teeth: "Bear it."

I don’t know who I’m talking to.

Gu Qingqing hid in the quilt and snickered, not daring to show her head for fear of seeing the man's angry eyes.

Five minutes later, Chu Dai saw that the little woman had not made a sound for a long time, fearing that she would get bored, so he reached out and pulled down the quilt. Only then did he realize that she had fallen asleep.

This time it was really angry and funny.

He leaned back on the chair and looked up at the ceiling, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. After a few seconds, he put the back of his left hand on his eyes.

After sleeping for half an hour with his eyes closed, he saw the little woman's face was rosy and sleeping soundly. He got up and made her a cup of honey water and brought it to the bedside. He went to the yard to catch a pheasant and sent it to the canteen.

It was already past three o'clock when Gu Qingqing woke up. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Brother?"

After shouting twice and getting no response, I knew that the man had gone to the cave again.

Standing up slowly, he glanced at the military green enamel cup next to him from the corner of his eye. It was still warm in the palm of his hand.

It was midsummer now, and warm water didn't get cold easily. She drank a few sips to moisten her throat, feeling sweet in her heart.

Holding the enamel cup, she walked to the window and blew in the cool breeze, looking out at the sea. Gu Qingqing felt peaceful and peaceful in her heart.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, she went to the cafeteria to get chicken soup from Squad Leader Zhu, and then went to the health center.

Zhao Ze didn't keep an eye on her all the time, but was also on duty at the health center.

There are injured soldiers in the cave every day. The injuries may be serious or minor, and there are not a few. There are too few people in the health center to be busy.

The son was handed over to Xu Nian not long after he was held in his arms. He decided to continue accompanying him to the cave library tomorrow, which would make it easier to treat the wound in time.

Xu Nian understood his work and tasks and just said: "You can rest assured that Qingqing is here."

"Sister A-Nian, let's have some soup." Gu Qingqing sat down next to her, opened the lunch box, and the fragrant chicken soup filled the air.

Xu Nian was also a little hungry. Looking at the golden chicken soup and the unknown Chinese medicine inside, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "These are prepared by Battalion Commander Chu for you."

"We'll catch them when the time comes. With so many people in the Corps, are you afraid that we won't be able to catch a few pheasants? Just rest assured. This time, squad leader Zhu only stewed half of it, and the other half is stored in the refrigerator at the battalion headquarters. I'll stew another pot for you tomorrow. .”

"It's too troublesome for you. You are still pregnant and you are walking around for me." Xu Nian looked at the sleeping child in the quilt, put him next to him, sighed and took the lunch box: "I can do it myself. .”

Gu Qingqing didn't force it and handed the lunch box to her: "Be careful not to spill it. It's hot."

"Okay, have you eaten? I'll give you half."

Seeing that she was about to get up again, Gu Qingqing quickly held down her hand: "Don't worry, I will be there without you. Chu Dai said that she would stew a cup of meat cakes and steamed eggs for me when she went home. Eat it quickly. Xiaoyu will wake up later and start again." I can’t eat anymore.”

Xu Nian heard her mention the child and stopped refusing. He slowly drank the soup and said to her, "Baitao came to see me in the afternoon and gave me a bag of red dates."

"That's good." Gu Qingqing said with a smile: "Sister Taozi is actually quite good. I originally thought that you two would become good friends with such similar personalities, but I didn't expect you to be so tepid."

"It's not like people who are similar will become good sisters." Xu Nian glanced at her and said, "But everyone is willing to become good friends like you, and you will definitely make money without losing money."

Gu Qingqing never takes advantage of others, and she will respond promptly to the good things others do to her. Her behavior is very comforting, and she will not feel that she is being looked down upon.

"You, just praise me as hard as you can. When I give birth to a child, I will have to say nice things to you to deceive you." Gu Qingqing stuck out her tongue at her in a weird way.

"Okay," Xu Nian was amused by her childish actions: "When you give birth to a baby, I will make sure it is delicious and well-served. I will ask Zhao Ze to go to the mountains every day to catch pheasants for you and let Lao Zhu stew the soup for you."

Gu Qingqing couldn't hold back her laughter, which made her stomach hurt. She tried her best to restrain herself: "It's still early, please let Brother Zhao practice more during this time, so as not to fail every day."

"It's possible. If you give birth to a baby, you won't be allowed to let Camp Commander Chu and your brothers crawl all over the mountains. Let alone pheasants, there may not even be any chicken feathers." Xu Nian chatted with her and was in a good mood. Finally, That depression disappeared without a trace.

"That's for sure. Chu Dai loves me the most. Look at the flesh on my face." The little woman proudly grabbed her face and showed it to her: "They were all raised by him."

Xu Nian suppressed her laughter and finally finished the chicken soup. She was really afraid that she would choke herself if she laughed.

"Yes, yes, your Chu Dai is the best. Can you please ask Battalion Commander Chu and his wife to bring me a diaper? This child will have to pee again after drinking milk."

Gu Qingqing didn't know how troublesome it was to take care of a baby, so she took the diaper from the side and put it next to the bed, and asked her, "When can you go home? Or do you have to stay here for a few more days?"

"Go back in the evening and wait for Zhao Ze to come over. The wind will not blow during confinement, and it will be easy to get migraines in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little baby next to him started crying. Xu Nian quickly picked her up and coaxed her: "Is our little Yu'er hungry? Mom is here."

After saying that, she started to lift her clothes to feed the baby. Gu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, especially when she saw Xu Nian's plump figure, she fell silent.

The baby stopped crying when she had milk to drink. Gu Qingqing sat on the chair and watched. I can't help but feel worried.

She and I were afraid that Chu Dai would have to buy milk powder to drink.

In the evening, when I returned home, the family sat in the living room to eat.

Shen Sui came back from school, cooked the rice, washed and cut the vegetables, and waited for his brother-in-law to come back to cook.

Gu Qingqing stopped going into the kitchen. The man wouldn't let her smell the fumes and said, "If I come back early, I will cook. If I come back late, I will let A Sui go to the cafeteria to prepare food."

Anyway, she is not allowed to cook.

Chu Dai's cooking is not particularly delicious, but it's just okay. Gu Qingqing didn't have high expectations for him.

Moreover, the taste fluctuates during pregnancy, which is particularly tricky. Chu Dai sometimes doesn't know how she can swallow certain things.

When she came back that time, she saw her picking red peppers in the vegetable garden and stuffing them into her mouth. The man held her in his arms, and Shen Sui snatched the peppers from her hand.

The cooperation is very tacit.

So this time I put the meat pie and steamed egg in front of her, and everyone stared at her without blinking, not sure if it was to her taste.

Under their gaze, Gu Qingqing took the spoon, took a spoonful, and slowly brought it to her mouth.

"How's it going?" Chu Dai's body was slightly straightened, and he was inexplicably nervous. He had never been so nervous on the battlefield before.

Chapter 145 Booming 145 Previous chapter table of contents next chapter  Gu Qingqing chewed slowly, and when she faced the man's expectant gaze, her heart moved.

She frowned and sighed: "Brother."

"Huh?" Chu Dai's heart was raised, and various remedies flashed through his mind. Steamed egg custard for her? Forget it, isn't this it? Get her fried pork with sour radish? No, my family eats this almost every day. Eating too much sour radish is not good.

Silently, Shen Sui took a spoon, scooped a little from the edge of the bowl and put it into his mouth, and then said doubtfully: "Sister, it's quite delicious and not fishy at all."

When Chu Dai saw the woman's bright and relaxed features, he knew that his wife had tricked her again.

Smiling and shaking his head, he took Shen Sui's bowl, scooped out half of the bowl from the untouched side and handed it to the boy: "Your sister doesn't like to eat it. From now on, my brother-in-law will only cook it for you."

Gu Qingqing became anxious upon hearing this, "It's actually quite delicious."

Chu Dai raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at each other with Shen Sui. One smiled uninhibitedly and the other just slightly twitched the corners of his mouth.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Gu Qingqing cut two apples and went upstairs to watch Shen Sui do his homework.

The man sat next to him and didn't speak. He just crossed his arms and looked down.

The room was quiet, with the only sound of the pen scratching the page.

Shen Sui held the pencil and carefully wrote the homework assigned by the teacher.

He knew that his sister and brother-in-law treated him very well. He had a lot of homework books, pencils and erasers, and his brother-in-law used old newspapers to practice calligraphy occasionally.

For example, most students reuse paper. After finishing their homework and checking it with the teacher, they erase it with an eraser when they go home. The teacher also uses a pencil instead of a red pen to correct their homework.

He used to erase a few pages with an eraser when he got home. Sister said that he should keep the homework he had written before and take it out for review in the future. If that didn't work, he could leave it to his nephews and others.

Gu Qingqing stood behind him and watched for a while, then held her waist and said warmly: "Eat some apples. The apples in this season are big, red and durable. I asked the captain to bring a few bags and give some to Sister Anian tomorrow. past."

Shen Sui stopped writing and moved the book aside so that she could put the fruit plate on it.

Chu Dai pulled the little woman to sit on his lap, held her waist with his left hand, and took an apple with his right hand and handed it to her mouth: "So concerned about Xu Nian? Give Zhao Ze a chance to show off."

"He himself is not very smart. Sister A-Nian doesn't have high demands on him. He just needs to be more attentive to her. Why doesn't Brother Zhao understand?" Gu Qingqing took a bite of his hand and then motioned to him Try it too: "It's sour and sweet, it's a crispy apple, it's delicious, I'll buy a few more bags next time."

Chu Dai followed the place where she was eating and took a bite. "A man only needs to think that he can support his family. He is usually busy with work in the army, and it is easy to ignore some emotions..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the woman was looking at him unkindly, so he changed his words and said, "But this time Zhao Ze went too far. It's like he has never been a father in his life. He only cares about his son and not Xu Nian. Don't worry, I will criticize him tomorrow." Let Jiang Sheng educate him."

Only then was Gu Qingqing satisfied, and thought of another thing: "There are three battalions of troops on the island now, but there is no regimental commander appointed? Are they just wasting their lives like this?"

The first batch to come was the reinforcement battalion. Chu Dai was the battalion commander and Zhang Jianshe was the deputy battalion commander. The second batch came with two battalions, both led by battalion commanders. Now they all obey the orders issued by Jiang Shenghe and the military region, and the rest of the time they do their own thing.

They are not in the same military restricted area. Occasionally they meet and change shifts. For example, the reinforced battalion is in the first area, and the other two battalions are in the second and third areas. These are not fixed and will be rotated at fixed points in a few days.

The man fed her the apple and took another piece: "It's still early. When what needs to be done is completed, the warship will deliver what needs to be delivered. A naval headquarters will be set up here. These positions are used to reward merit. of."

Gu Qingqing blinked to show that she understood.

Shen Sui listened silently to the conversation between her sister and her brother-in-law. She was eating apples and doing her homework with a crunching sound in her mouth, like a little squirrel.

Gu Qingqing looked at it for a while and was amused. She motioned the man to look at his bulging cheeks with her eyes.

Chu Dai couldn't help but laugh. This boy's personality had finally come back, and his eyes were no longer as gloomy as before.

"A Sui." Gu Qingqing said softly: "Have you often gone to Qin's hometown recently?"

Shen Sui nodded, "The teacher said I still have a lot to learn, and the teaching staff on the island is not very good. After I finish junior high school on the island, he will write a letter of recommendation to send me to a high school in the capital."

He felt a little uneasy, fearing that sister would be unhappy: "I don't want to go, I want to stay with sister."

Gu Qingqing was so happy that she stretched out her hand to rub his head, but because she couldn't reach it, the boy was silent for a moment and then came up to him.

The furry touch on her palms made her understand why men always like to rub her hair. Gu Qingqing said: "Go, why not go. Sister and brother-in-law will only become Ah Sui's strong backing and escape route, rather than helpers on the way to pursue her dreams." Obstacle."

"So we Sui don't be afraid. You can try whatever you want. It doesn't mean that you must join the army if you are an orphan of a martyr or the brother-in-law of Battalion Commander Chu. Besides joining the army, there are other ways to defend the motherland."

"For example, we Asui want to try it."

The woman's big almond eyes were bright and lively, as if she could see through people's hearts. Shen Sui knew that Sister A had already seen clearly what he was thinking.

So, this boy who had never made a choice before mustered up the courage: "Sister, I want to be a diplomat."

"Okay." Gu Qingqing smiled and nodded.

Shen Sui looked at his brother-in-law, and the man nodded slightly.

Shen Sui's future direction in life was decided. He finished his homework and ate his apples. The couple went downstairs together. Gu Qingqing did not forget to tell him before leaving the room: "It's okay to sleep with the window open at night, but don't forget to cover it." abdomen."

Although it is midsummer, it is easy to catch a cold.

"I remember." There was a rare hint of excitement in his voice. From now on, he will be able to defend his family and country like his father, brother-in-law and two older brothers. Although it seems to be a peaceful way, it will not be as fierce as the battlefield. few.

After going downstairs, Gu Qingqing suddenly wanted to eat canned oranges. Chu Dai went to the living room cabinet and got her a can. He didn't bother to take out a bowl and poured it out, so he just put a spoon in it.

The woman sat beside the bed and waited eagerly, "Brother."

Chu Dai hummed and sat down next to her.

Because it was summer, I wore short cotton and linen pajamas, all newly made.

Because there was a lot of black fabric, Shen Sui's clothes were too dark and lacked vitality, so Gu Qingqing asked Xiao Huanniang to make two sets of short-sleeved pajamas and two regular clothes for the man.

His skin was white and he could hold out any color. As soon as he sat there, Gu Qingqing couldn't move her eyes away and stared at his collarbone.

The man coughed and turned his head, avoiding her wolf-like eyes, "Don't you want to eat canned oranges? Eat it yourself, and I'll rub your legs for you."

As he spoke, he put the can and bottle into her hand, held the woman's ankle and put it on his knee, moving slowly and unhurriedly.

Gu Qingqing held the can bottle, took a spoon, took a spoonful and fed it to his mouth first.

The man was a little surprised: "Teacher Gu will feel sorry for the man."

Gu Qingqing stuffed it into his mouth directly, "Teacher Gu has retired. From now on, I will rely on Battalion Commander Chu to support the family. I hope that Battalion Commander Chu will not be like a certain military doctor who only thinks about his precious son and has to take time to care about him." Let me know how my wife feels."

Chu Dai swallowed the sugar water and couldn't laugh or cry.

"When did I never care about you?"

Gu Qingqing thought for a moment and felt a little guilty: "It seems so."

The man sighed, leaned against the bedside, rubbed her legs, and asked her, "Are you going to take care of Xu Nian tomorrow?"

"Yes, her mother-in-law is not on the island, so she only knows me a little bit here. I have to ask the female military doctor what she should pay attention to during confinement. It will be useful in the future."

Chu Dai squeezed her calf neither lightly nor harshly, and listened to her chattering, feeling soft in his heart.

Gu Qingqing has been very good at eating recently. Not long after eating, she said pitifully that she was hungry. She had already finished the canned oranges sent by Chu Yuan. Gu Canyang also sent canned fruits, canned meat, and nutritional supplements such as malted milk. Chu Dai himself also sent a telegram asking Chu Zhao to buy a lot for the supply ship to bring over.

The kitchen cabinets and living room cabinets at home are full, and I am afraid that the three of them will be hungry when he is not at home.

After finishing the can and putting the bottle on the table, she pulled back her legs that were draped over the man, got into bed, patted her side and looked at him with a smile.

Chu Dai smiled silently and looked at her: "Why don't you brush your teeth after eating? Why are you so lazy recently? Are you afraid of teaching the baby bad things in the future?"

Gu Qingqing lied: "I brushed my teeth after taking a shower. This is water, don't be afraid!"

"Sugar water." The man corrected her, and then said, "Doctor Zhao doesn't know how to treat tooth decay."

Gu Qingqing felt a little tired and said, "Okay." She reluctantly got up and the man reached out to take the enamel cup next to her and said, "Just rinse your mouth with water. Be careful next time."

The woman made a face at him and said, "I know."

Chu Dai's Adam's apple rolled and he chuckled.

This guy has always been so heartless, almost the same as when we first met, with a bit of a child's mind.

It can be regarded as being able to interact with two brothers-in-law.

He thought of something and said again: "In half a month, the second brother will go to the island."

"Ah?" Because she was too surprised, Gu Qingqing swallowed the mouthwash directly. She sat directly on the man's lap, hugged his neck, and looked straight at him with her big bright eyes: "Goudan is coming over. Huh?! Did he complete his mission? He was not injured, right?"

Chu Dai didn't know what to say. Gu Qinglie went to the island to avoid appearing in public view and being noticed by enemy agents, which would affect the establishment of diplomatic relations with neighboring countries.

The second is to recuperate.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Gu Qingqing felt anxious and angry: "Is he injured? You all hid it from me!"

After saying that, he got off the man directly, got into the bed angrily, turned his back to him, and shed tears without saying a word.

Although she often quarrels with Gu Qinglie, besides Chu Dai, she loves her two brothers the most. When she was a child, she and Gu Qinglie were the most naughty. She would blame him for any bad things she did and her family would not find out. Gu Qinglie He always carried it carelessly and took many beatings for her.

When she grew up, her two brothers cared about her the most. Even if they were not at home, they would send the allowance back. Some of it would be kept with grandma, some would be given to grandma to supplement the family income, and some of it would be specially given to her.

When she got married, her two brothers each gave her five hundred yuan. She didn't know how long they had been saving it, but now she had two to three thousand yuan scattered around.

Gu Canyang and Gu Qinglie were always afraid of wronging her. They would give her extra money for self-defense at home because they were afraid that their mother would suffer from this greedy cat. They were also afraid that Chu Dai would treat her badly when they got married.

He kissed the tears on her cheeks soothingly and said softly: "Qingqing, my second brother is fine. He will be alive and well in front of you in half a month. Don't worry. I assure you that he is fine. Do you believe it or not?" I?"

Gu Qingqing wiped her tears on his neck and said in a low voice, "Xin, you have never lied to me."

"Well," the man said, "I would never lie to you."
