Chapter 231: Prosperity 231 Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter  Chu Dai lifted the two little guys to the ground and said, "Play by yourselves."

Tuan Tuan and Niannian were wearing woolen socks and walking on the wooden floor. The two brothers looked at each other. Little Niannian realized that their father didn't want to play with them.

He hugged the man's legs with a cry and looked up: "Daddy~Duck!"

I bought two rubber ducks at Suining Department Store. The two little guys played with them in the car for a while, then I went home and forgot about it. Now I remember it again.

"It's downstairs," the man sighed, and carried the two clingy people to the bed again, and sat down beside the bed: "A Sui, go down and get it, it's on the sofa, children are quick on their feet."

Shen Sui knew that this was his excuse for not wanting to go, but he didn't say anything. He put down his pen, moved his stool back a step, and got up and went downstairs.

Gu Qingqing looked at the foreign language book without raising her head: "In the future, when he is doing his homework, don't always give him instructions and interrupt his train of thought."

“What kind of thinking is needed to practice a few words?” the man said casually.

"Chu Dai!" The woman turned her head to look at him, her tone somewhat dissatisfied.

"I was wrong. Next time, I'll call him when he's free." The man pinched his son's face and asked him with a smile, "What book are you reading?"

"A brief history of Britain." Gu Qingqing thought of what Xiao Xiao had said before and asked him, "What do you think if I learn something again? Maybe I can work as a translator at a service station in the future."

"It depends on what you like," the man said disdainfully, rubbing his son's saliva on the boy's clothes, "Tell me what you need. It's inconvenient for you to go out and buy it yourself."

"You don't object to me doing this, do you?" Gu Qingqing looked at him with a smile.

The man was somewhat amused: "Why should I object?" There was no need to worry about it at home. He said: "The college entrance examination may be resumed in the next few years. If you want to go back to school, it's fine. I will find a way every year."

"Forget it, what can you think of?" Gu Qingqing picked up the book again: "But when Second Brother comes, Mother may come, but I don't know how long she will stay."

Thinking of something, she added, "Ah Niang said that if we have another child, she will come over to help take care of the child."

The man met her direct gaze and raised his eyebrows: "I remember someone told me that they don't want to have children for the time being."

"Yes, let's take a closer look. Tuantuan and Nian Nian are still young." Gu Qingqing looked at the notes on it, held the book in her hands, sat on the bed and came close to him: "I don't know many of them, can you teach me?"

"Okay." The man lowered his eyes and looked at the words on the book in her hand. Below the English was Shen Sui's translation in beautiful regular script.

When Shen Sui came in, he was holding two little yellow ducks in his hands. When the little fellow, who was originally crawling on his father's back, saw this, he jumped directly onto his uncle, squeezing the rubber ducks with his little hands and making noises.

Seeing them giggling non-stop, Gu Qingqing also smiled.

As the days passed, the two little ones grew bigger and bigger.

May 6, 1975, the 25th day of the third lunar month.

beginning of summer.

"Second brother went back on the 21st day of the first lunar month, right? It's been two months now. Isn't it time for him to come to the military region?" Gu Qingqing took down the salted fish that was drying in the yard after finishing lunch and asked the man behind her.

Chu Dai had just returned from the Navy Headquarters, holding a string of salted fish that his wife had picked up.

"It will be soon. I received his telegram yesterday. The transfer order will come in the next two days." Gu Qinglie left the battlefield half a month ago and was slightly injured. He didn't dare to say it in the telegram because he was afraid that his sister would be sad if she knew. It was only after Chu Dai asked Guan Xun that he found out.

"Why don't we go pick him up? It's a good opportunity to go back to the Construction Corps. You haven't been back for more than two years. Let's take Asui and Tuantuan Niannian with us." She suggested.

The man already knew she would say, "I took a week off."

Then he added: "I also asked for a week's leave for Asui."

Gu Qingqing excitedly turned around and got into his arms, hugged his waist, and looked up at him with a smile: "Really? I haven't seen Aunt Yu for a long time. Xiaotu should be studying in the border town, and Xiaoxu should also be studying in the Yuhong class?"

The man held the dried salted fish in both hands, and moved his arms slightly to the side to avoid rubbing against her. "Really. I don't know about this. I don't know if the Corps has established its own elementary school for soldiers. There are not many sisters-in-law accompanying the army, and no one would go to the school even if it was built."

There were only the two of them in the yard, and the two little guys were taking a nap upstairs with their uncle.

It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that Shen Sui went to school to continue his classes.

Gu Qingqing sighed in his arms: "The conditions in the Corps are not very good. Lack of water is a big problem. I guess only Aunt Yu is with the army now."

If Chu Dai was still there, she would definitely stay in the Construction Corps. At least her husband and brother would be there, and everyone in the Corps was familiar to her, and she could also talk to Aunt Yu.

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be better than the military compound, except that the conditions are too harsh.

We can only eat fish a few times a year, unlike Nanyang, which is close to the sea and has cheap fish and shrimps, which ordinary people can afford.

The couple discussed when to go to the train station. There will be a train to Yancheng tonight, and to get to the Construction Corps from here one must pass through Yancheng.

It just so happened that Shen Sui could leave directly after school and dinner in the afternoon.

Gu Qingqing held the man's waist and raised her head to talk to him. The man answered with a smile. The girl standing outside in the yard dug her nails into her palms and finally called out softly, "Brother Adai."

The smile on Gu Qingqing's face faded, and she stepped out of the man's arms. Seeing the girl standing at the gate of the courtyard, she thought to herself, she's finally here.

Bai Rong has never left the military compound since she returned to it during the Chinese New Year, nor has she performed with the art troupe. Xiao Xiao said that it was her family who asked her to get married before going out.

Gu Qingqing had already had a premonition that she would cause trouble for Chu Dai.

Thinking of this, she took the salted fish from the man: "I'll go to the kitchen and pack these."

Chu Dai avoided her hand and said, "It's too heavy. Let me carry it. Let's go together."

Neither the couple mentioned the person outside the door.

Bai Rong bit her lip and called out again, "Brother."

Chu Dai's face was slightly tense, and he thought of something. He said in a calm tone: "Come in."

Gu Qingqing said nothing about this.

Bai Rong followed her into the living room. Gu Qingqing and the man went to the kitchen to put the salted fish away, and then made a cup of tea and brought it to the girl.

Chu Dai suddenly felt a little flustered.

Putting it on the coffee table, she said to the man calmly, "Chu Dai, you guys chat, I'll go see the child."

In the Chu family, except for Chu Yuan and Qin Zhou, she didn't dare to call them by their names. As for the other four men, two big and two small, their hearts tightened every time they heard her call their full names.

Gu Qinglie also said: "Besides facing Gousheng's face, I am most afraid of Qingqing calling my name. I'm not lying, it makes me shudder."

Chu Dai's whole body was stiff now. If he let her go now, he didn't know how to coax her at night. Just as he was about to speak, the woman walked upstairs briskly, as if something was chasing her from behind.

The man seemed a little helpless, but there was a hint of indulgence and doting in his eyes.

Bai Rong noticed all the changes in his eyes, but she didn't touch the enamel cup on the coffee table. She lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Adai, can you help me?"

Chu Dai looked at her and was silent for a long time without saying anything.

Bai Rong twisted her fingers and said to herself, "My father wants me to marry the son of an uncle in the war zone, but I don't want to, brother. I really don't want to."

"If my brother were still here, he would definitely stand by me and help me."

Chu Dai's mind flashed with Bai Yan's face and he closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes without any emotion on his face: "But A Yan is gone."

Bai Rong's hand movements suddenly stopped, as if she couldn't believe that he would mention her brother in such a cold tone.

"Brother Adai..."

"You really can't solve it?" The man looked into her eyes with his sharp eyes, and saw through her easily: "Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai only have you as their only daughter. If you really don't want to, will they force you?"

Bai Rong's lips trembled, and she wanted to say something but the words were stuck in her throat.

"Or did you make some impossible demands on them? That's why Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai were so tough and insisted on marrying you off immediately despite the objections of their only daughter."

Chu Dai obviously didn't want to say anything more, "Rongrong, for your brother's sake, I can help you, but you repeatedly threatened me with A Yan and tried to take advantage of my guilt towards him. I know all this."

Bai Rong's face turned pale and she bit her lip as she looked at him.

The Brother Adai in her memory was not like this.

"No matter what you're thinking, every time you mention Ayan, the affection we had when we were young fades a little. I can help you this time, but there won't be a next time."

Chu Dai said, "I used to plan to prepare a dowry for you when you got married, but now it seems that it is useless and you don't really treat me as your brother. So let it be. You can find Ah Zhao if you have any problems in the future. He has no family, so there is no need to avoid suspicion."

Before going up the stairs, he turned to look at her and said, "Ayan would be very sad if he saw you like this." After that, he went upstairs without looking back.

The powerful footsteps gradually faded away on the wooden stairs. Bai Rong covered her face and lay on her legs, sobbing.

She knew that Chu Dai had completely drawn a line between them and she could never come to see him again.

Gu Qingqing went to the third floor to take a look. Shen Sui was sleeping soundly with the two little ones. She gently closed the door and went downstairs.

When Chu Dai pushed open the bedroom door, he saw the woman sitting on the edge of the bed with her eyes downcast, holding a well-preserved old photo in her hand.

He walked over and pulled up a chair to sit opposite her.

"What are you looking at?" I followed her gaze.

Gu Qingqing handed the photo to him without saying anything.

The man took it and raised his eyebrows after seeing it clearly: "Me and Goudan?"

It was the photo taken in the Construction Corps that was sent back by Gu Qinglie.

He looked quite frivolous in the photo. He was young and ignorant at that time and thought he could conquer everything.

Now I can’t help laughing when I look at it: “I don’t feel anything when I look at this photo, how did you fall in love with me?”

"Good-looking." Gu Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "The best-looking person I've ever seen was my eldest brother, until Goudan sent me this photo."

Chu Dai glanced at Goudan in the photo again and said, "There is a slight difference in appearance between the second brother and the eldest brother."

Gu Qingqing didn't say anything, her eyes fell on the photo in his hand.

The man couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you ask what Bai Rong told me?" Ran didn't want to say more, "Rongrong, for your brother's sake, I can help you, but you have repeatedly threatened me with A Yan, trying to take advantage of my guilt towards him, I know all this."

Bai Rong's face turned pale and she bit her lip as she looked at him.

The man couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you ask what Bai Rong told me?"

Chapter 232: Prosperity 232 Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter  "Huh? What did you say, Brother Adai?" The woman imitated Bai Rong's tone, looking at him with a smile on her face, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.

She was not angry. She knew Chu Dai and trusted him wholeheartedly.

Just wanted to tease him.

The man raised his eyelids and looked at her for a long while.

Placing the photo in his hand on the bedside table next to him, he slowly unbuttoned his military uniform and casually hung it on the back of the chair behind him.

"Tell her not to bother me anymore. There's a jealous person at home. If you say anything to her, I'll have to coax my wife all night."

The man chuckled: "It may not be possible to coax her."

Gu Qingqing blinked her eyes: "Will my brother feel annoyed?"

"No." The man stood up, went to the window, stretched out his long arms to pull up the curtains, turned around and looked at her: "To be honest, I quite enjoy it."

Gu Qingqing glared at him and muttered, "What a stupid problem."

With the two little ones away, the couple had a rare chance to spend some time alone together. He didn't have to go to the headquarters in the afternoon, so he could do whatever he wanted.

I opened the closet, found a pair of white cotton and linen pajamas, and took off my clothes and put them on in the room.

The man looked thin and had everything he should have, but his well-defined muscles were hidden by his pajamas before Gu Qingqing could get a good look at them.

Seeing that she was still staring, the man raised an eyebrow: "You want to see me take off my pants?"

"Is it not possible?" Gu Qingqing bent her legs and stepped on the bed, with her elbows on her knees, and looked at him with her face propped up: "Are you shy? There is not much light in the room, I can't see clearly even if I want to."

She didn't tell the truth. The dark green curtains were not very thick, so some light came through. Moreover, the window edges were not drawn tightly, so a slanting beam of afternoon sunlight fell right on the man's legs.

The man chuckled, put his hand on the belt around his waist, and unbuckled it with a crisp "click".

The woman stared at it intently, her eyes full of interest.

The man's hand stopped in the air as he unbuttoned his pants. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are those boxes gone?"

Gu Qingqing was a little confused, and then she said "Ah", "Don't you know how much you have used?"

The man was somewhat helpless: "Wash it before using it next time?" After saying that, he pulled the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "Forget it, it's too sticky, it can't be washed clean."

“…”

Gu Qingqing didn't even have the chance to interrupt.

Finally she said, "Just bear with it, Brother Adai."

Chu Dai: "..."

After changing into pajamas, he walked over to the woman and sat down. "I'll go with you to the market to buy some vegetables tonight? Then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat. I remember there's a store selling condoms in the alley next to the supply and marketing cooperative."

The man lifted the quilt, and she automatically went inside to make room for him: "Why don't you just bear with it."

Seeing that he was puzzled, the woman said, "I went there ten times, and nine times it was empty. There are so many sisters-in-law in the military district, you think..."

She didn't finish her words when the man understood: "I'll go to the military doctor to ask for some next time. It's a bit inconvenient since Xiaodao is not here." Zhao Ze was quite generous. He was in charge of the medical supplies in the Construction Corps and on the island.

He took off his watch and placed it on the bedside table. He then put his arm around the woman and asked, "So what are we going to do today?"

"Hold it." Gu Qingqing suppressed her laughter and said, "Go get some sleep. Aren't you going to accompany me to the market this afternoon? I just happen to be in need of someone to carry my things."

Gu Jianguo brought food over in the morning and said he would deliver one meal first and let Gu Weidong deliver the evening meal. Gu Qingqing wanted to take the two little ones to the vegetable market, so she asked him to tell Brother Weidong not to deliver the meal anymore.

Chu Dai pinched her waist lightly and said, "Okay." The man sighed, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Gu Qingqing leaned in his arms, her hand running down the scar on his waist, and asked him, "Did Brother Zhao send you a telegram? It's been almost half a year since I left the island, and I don't know how Sister Anian and Xiaoyuer are doing."

"It was sent a few days ago. It asked me to say hello to you. It said Xu Nian will send a letter to you on the supply ship. I will go to the dock to pick you up on the first day of the new year." The man held down her restless hands: "I can't resist if you continue like this."

"Who told you to resist..." The woman rubbed against his arms: "It shouldn't matter if I don't wear it. My period just ended. Didn't we learn about the safe period in high school?"

Chu Dai's Adam's apple rolled, and he looked down at her with his black eyes: "Think it over carefully, this is not foolproof, why don't you go and see if there is any this afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingqing tightened her hands slightly and looked at him innocently with almond-shaped eyes: "But I have to take care of the children at night."

The veins on Chu Dai's fair neck were exposed, and he endured it and said, "Think about it carefully. If you get pregnant this time, you will have a harder time than you do now." He did not forget that the little woman said two months ago that she did not want to have children for the time being.

"It's okay. Isn't the second brother coming over? He, the eldest brother, and the brothers Jianguo and Weidong are all here. It's okay to lend a hand after the mission. Besides, there's also mother." Gu Qingqing moved slowly: "Also, brother, you are too confident in yourself. Didn't Tuan Tuan and Niannian get pregnant after not wearing it for a long time?"

Chu Dai was able to restrain himself at first, but when he heard her next words, the tension broke immediately. His eyes were dark and unclear: "Okay."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing looked up from his arms in confusion.

"In your eyes, your man is like this..." He pulled the quilt over the two of them, "No."

You could tell that he was really angry, his whole body was burning hot, and he turned over and pressed heavily on her.

In the dimly lit room, the woman moaned softly, like a wild cat on the windowsill.

At 1:50 in the afternoon, there were footsteps upstairs. Not long after, Shen Sui knocked on the door: "Sister, I'm going to school. Tuantuan Niannian is outside the door."

Gu Qingqing pushed the man aside, her eyes red and moist: "Okay, I understand."

Chu Dai turned over and got out of bed, walking barefoot on the floor to open the door. The two little ones loved climbing stairs, and he was afraid that they would fall down the stairs by themselves.

When the door was opened, two furry little heads came in through the crack of the door. The little one said in a baby voice, "Mother, I'm hungry."

Xiao Niannian ran past the man, holding onto the edge of the bed with his little hands. Xiao Tuantuan supported his little butt from behind and helped him climb up.

After getting on the bed, Xiao Niannian came to A Niang's side, looking at her with his big black and white eyes, "Hungry! Take a dip in panties~"

Gu Qingqing gave the man at the door a look, and he understood. She closed the door, opened the curtains, and went to the small table to get two bottles to make milk powder for the two brothers.

The two brothers may have grown up a little and eat more. In the morning, they must have fresh milk and shredded pork porridge. At noon, they have a bowl of steamed egg with minced meat. After taking a nap, they have to drink milk. In the evening, they eat some soup with the adults and a piece of red date cake.

Another bottle of milk before bed.

He tested the temperature on the back of his hand and lifted his eldest son, who was struggling under the bed, onto the bed.

The man put two bottles in their hands, and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did your uncle help you pee?"

Little Niannian was leaning on her mother's arms drinking milk. When she heard what her father said, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded.

Little Tuantuan was also like a chick pecking at rice, biting the pacifier and mumbling: "Chirp~Shhh."

Chu Dai ruffled his messy hair and sat down next to him, "Great."

The two little guys rolled around on the bed for ten minutes after drinking milk. The man had already changed his clothes. "What food are you buying tonight?"

"I have to go and check it out. I want to make some dumplings and some seaweed and shrimp wontons for Tuantuan and Niannian." Gu Qingqing also stood up and found clothes to change from the closet. The little guy quietly pulled out the drawer of the bedside table while his father and mother were not paying attention.

"Watch them," Gu Qingqing burst their beautiful dreams: "Don't let them eat candies all the time, or their teeth will be damaged." More importantly, she was afraid that they would swallow the candies whole and choke themselves.

"Okay." The man lifted the two kids up from behind: "Aren't you tired of playing at home? Go out and get some sun."

He took the two little guys directly to the balcony outside to wait for the woman.

Besides his and the woman's clothes, the two little ones' diapers were on the clothesline outside. Their clothes couldn't fit upstairs, so they were all hung on the third-floor balcony.

There are two washing machines at home, one downstairs and one in the bathroom on the second floor. The one downstairs was provided to Chu Yuan by the army, and the one upstairs was purchased later.

Shen Sui did not use the washing machine on the second floor and washed everything by hand. Chu Dai thought it was a good thing for boys to do more handwork, so he did not say anything.

"Bicycle~" Xiao Tuantuan squatted under the balcony railing and looked at the bicycles in the yard through the gap.

When he missed his second uncle, Gu Qinglie would hold him in his arms and take him for a stroll on the trails outside on his bicycle.

"Chiu Chiu~ Are you fat? Daddy~" Little Niannian squatted beside his brother, sticking out his little butt and asked his daddy.

"Uncle will be back soon. We will take the train to pick him up in the evening. We will be with Tuantuan and Nian Nian from now on." Chu Dai smiled and said, "When Tuantuan and Nian Nian need help, just look for uncle."

This way he can have a lot more free time.

The little guy nodded his head and repeated: "Looking for Chuchu~"

Looking at his son's naive appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

The army requires everyone to speak Mandarin. Although the two children are from Nanyang, neither of them can speak Nanyang dialect.

Chu Dai knew a little when he was a child, and later he went to the Construction Corps and stayed with a bunch of comrades from all over the country, so his accent became mixed, and now they all speak Mandarin.

Looking at the two little guys, he was also thinking about going to the capital.

Tuantuan is two years old at the end of every year, and when Asui finishes junior high school, he will be four years old, just in time for him to go to the capital to attend the Yuhong class.

If the news is accurate, and the hype has just passed, the capital's educational resources are second to none, not to mention that there is a big shot like Old Qin to enlighten them.

Most of Mr. Qin’s old friends are in the capital. Every year that passes by, he can learn more from those grandfathers, which will always be useful in the future.

As for himself, he will definitely go to military school. It depends on whether Gu Qinglie can be promoted when he is transferred back to the military region this time. He has made such great contributions on the border, so it should not be a problem for him to become a deputy regiment commander in the field army.

In this way, he would be eligible to go to military school.

However, the situation is still unclear and there are no clear instructions from above, so I can only make plans in my mind.

"I'm ready. You didn't even take your watch." The woman came out of the living room and handed him the silver watch. "Go buy some groceries. We'll cook early today."

"I forgot." The man took the watch and slowly put it on his fair wrist.

"Tuantuan Nian Nian, are you going alone?" Gu Qingqing asked her two sons. They all washed clothes by hand. Chu Dai thought it was a good thing for boys to do more by themselves, so he didn't say anything.

"Bicycle~" Xiao Tuantuan squatted under the balcony railing and looked at the bicycles in the yard through the gap.

When he missed his second uncle, Gu Qinglie would hold him in his arms and take him for a stroll on the trails outside on his bicycle.

"I forgot." The man took the watch and slowly put it on his fair wrist.

"Tuantuan Niannian, are you leaving by yourself?" Gu Qingqing asked her two sons.

Chapter 233: Prosperity 233 Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter  "Let's go~" Xiao Niannian shook his head: "Bu hug me!"

"No, no, no." Gu Qingqing no longer cared about the two brothers. "You watch them. I'll go to the kitchen to get a basket." After saying that, she quickly went downstairs.

This impetuous temperament really hasn't changed at all.

No wonder she and Xiao Xiao can get along well with each other.

"Let's go." Chu Dai retracted his gaze: "Don't ask for a hug later."

The two little guys went down the stairs by themselves, holding on to the mahogany handrails. Their steps were very slow, and their little feet tapped lightly each time they landed, as if they were testing the ground and were afraid to step firmly.

The man didn't rush them and was not in a hurry at all. He just watched them from behind, ready to reach out and grab some at any time.

When Gu Qingqing waited for them to come downstairs, she brought the vegetable basket to the kitchen door. Seeing that the father and his two sons were dragging their feet, she simply went back to the kitchen and cut a plate of mangoes.

There were still two steps to go down. Gu Qingqing stood downstairs and poked a piece of mango with a bamboo stick and fed it to her eldest son.

The little guy smacked his lips, juice dripping from the corners of his mouth. After finishing eating, he licked his lips with satisfaction, and then looked at A Niang eagerly.

The mango was very sweet. When Xiao Niannian smelled it, he was very greedy. When he saw that A Niang didn't continue, he opened his little mouth and said: "Ah~"

Gu Qingqing picked up a piece and just as she handed it to his mouth, just as he was about to eat it, she turned her hand and handed it to the man behind them.

Little Niannian raised his head and turned back, and saw that his father had eaten his mango, and he burst into tears.

Gu Qingqing quickly stuffed another piece of food into his mouth to stop him from crying.

Chu Dai leaned against the railing, watching her feeding the two brothers in turn, and suddenly imitated lazily: "Ah."

Gu Qingqing looked at him puzzledly.

The man had a teasing look in his eyes and opened his mouth slightly: "I want to eat too, wife."

Gu Qingqing picked out the smallest piece and fed it into his mouth.

After eating the mango, she took the bowl to the kitchen, washed it with clean water, and prepared to go out with the basket.

The sun is shining brightly outside, and it's not too scorching. It feels warm on my body.

Both brothers wore a one-piece pure cotton jumpsuit and cloth shoes crocheted by Zhang Cuifen.

When they reached the bluestone path outside the yard, they ran happily, and the couple walked slowly behind them.

When passing by Xue's house, Gu Qingqing lowered her voice and said, "I don't know if Pei Zhu gave the recipe to her elder sister-in-law."

Two months ago, when Pei Zhu brought her child to play at home, Gu Qingqing gave her the prescription and told her to have it checked by a pharmacist before letting her elder sister-in-law consider whether to use it.

Xue Xu and Chu Dai have been getting pretty close lately. The two men often chat in the study on the second floor, and they seem to have a good relationship.

"I don't know." Chu Dai looked at the two stupid guys in front of him and said casually, "It's not easy for me to ask about this kind of thing."

"If there is any movement, the news will definitely spread. What has Xiao Xiao been busy with recently? I haven't seen her running home."

"The field army is training, and they will be busy when my second brother comes." The man glanced at the door of the Xue family. "Aunt Xue is also famous. Xue Xu's wife has been praised a lot. If the prescription is really useful, Aunt Xue will take the initiative to come to thank you."

In this way, Gu Qingqing has opened up a gap in the military compound.

Although Aunt Xue is fierce, there are many aunts who are on good terms with her, including the wives of brigade commanders, division commanders, and army commanders. Although she has a bad temper, she can only get along with people who are straightforward and simple-minded.

Even though she is very aggressive when it comes to scolding people, her position at home is unshakable, ranking above both men and sons.

If she could really solve this problem for her family, then whoever disagrees with Gu Qingqing in the future would be disagreeing with her.

Gu Qingqing doesn't even need to do anything, she can scold people to pieces.

Gu Qingqing had long heard of her name: "Xiao Xiao told me that even though her mother is so fierce, she is a little afraid of Aunt Xue."

Chu Dai was amused: "Aunt Xiao is quite fierce, Uncle Xiao was tickled by her a lot."

"So." Gu Qingqing handed him the basket in her hand and said, "Look how lucky you are. You married me and I never spoke loudly to you or touched you, let alone scratched your face."

Chu Dai: “…” He took the basket silently, looked at her smiling face, and dared not say a word.

I don’t know who often calls his full name angrily.

As for physical contact... well.

It's OK.

After successfully exiting the military district gate, the couple, each holding one of their children, walked slowly toward the farmers' market.

After mopping around at home for a while, it's now 2:45 in the afternoon.

When a sister-in-law that Gu Qingqing knew came over, she would smile, nod and greet her, and then chat about family matters.

"Your Captain Chu is accompanying you to buy groceries? That's great. The one in my family refuses to go out for a walk after finishing his mission, as if he would lose face if I accompany him to buy groceries." The long-faced sister-in-law complained.

"No, the mission in the army is too heavy and too hard. My brother rarely goes out after the mission. He must be tired." Gu Qingqing comforted him softly.

"Ah, you are still good at telling me. By the way, I made some qing tuan (a kind of rice dumpling). I will ask your eldest brother to bring it to you later."

This sister-in-law is the wife of my eldest brother’s comrade-in-arms, and we are familiar with each other.

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I won't be shy about that."

"Don't be polite. Didn't you give me red date cake before?" The long-faced sister-in-law said a few words and was about to leave: "No more talking. I still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat. The kids at home are complaining that studying is too tiring and they want to eat something good to nourish their brains. We'll talk next time." She was a little worried about the children staying at home with the man, mainly because there was a toddler who was just learning to speak.

"Okay." Gu Qingqing nodded with a smile.

On the way to the market, sister-in-laws came to greet Gu Qingqing one after another, and the man beside them occasionally smiled and nodded.

His wife's network of connections allows her to get along well with people everywhere.

If the aunts in the compound didn't have a preconceived bad impression of her, they would probably be living happily together now.

The two little ones are very sweet-mouthed. They keep calling "Auntie" and "Auntie" in their baby voices, which is really endearing.

Two white and tender little balls, whoever sees them will be happy.

It was past three o'clock when we arrived at the market. The major production teams were selling vegetables in an orderly manner at their respective stalls, and there was an abundance of seafood.

Everyone in the family likes to eat shrimp, so Gu Qingqing directly bought three pounds.

Anyway, she doesn't need to mention it.

From what the sister-in-law said just now, her elder brother should come over for dinner in the evening.

"Qingqing, is this your man? He's so handsome." The auntie selling seafood took a small green net, put the shrimps in it, and tied a knot.

Gu Qingqing often comes to the market and has bought a lot of fish and shrimp in the past two months to dry them.

Almost everyone in the market knows her, especially the two conspicuous little kids beside her.

"Yes, my man." Gu Qingqing grinned: "He is in the navy."

"It's good to be a navy officer. We fishermen rely on the navy to rescue us when we have any trouble at sea. Fortunately, we have you."

Chu Dai picked up the basket to catch the shrimps and said with a smile, "It's my duty."

The woman was chatting with the stall owners about family matters, and he was listening quietly beside them, occasionally staring at the two little guys who were trying to steal tomatoes.

Slap their little hands away.

Gu Qingqing bought a lot of vegetables, fish and shrimp were essential, as well as eggplants, beans, and some non-spicy peppers. Lotus roots were rare, so she ordered one without hesitation, and also bought a few potatoes.

Finally I asked for some spinach, and that was about it.

The man carried the basket and she paid, not forgetting to buy some grapes and mangoes for the two little ones.

I don’t know what’s wrong with these two kids. They can eat apples, pears and bananas, but they don’t like them.

On the contrary, I am particularly fond of grapes and mangoes.

She didn't dare let her children eat too many mangoes, but she always had grapes at home and would wash a few for them from time to time.

Maybe it's because of men's taste. Although I have candy in my pocket, I actually prefer sour food.

I peeled a grape for each of them, and the two brothers behaved well the moment they got it.

Gu Qingqing said to the man next to her, "We need to bring some fruit on the train, otherwise these two will cause trouble."

The man nodded in agreement: "And bring some snacks." After leaving the market, the couple took the child to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Comrade, please help me cut two pounds of meat." Gu Qingqing said.

The salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative was also very familiar with her. He picked out a piece of pork belly and cut it for her, stringing the meat together with a straw rope: "Do you want to order anything else?"

"Let me take another look." Gu Qingqing walked to the shelf, saw the colorful hand oil, and took two bottles.

The winds and sands in the border town are strong, and hands are prone to dryness and cracking. She plans to stock up some to give to Aunt Yu.

I also took two portions of White Cat Cooling Oil and Clam Oil. I gave the clam oil to Aunt Yu for wiping her face, and the cooling oil was for the two little ones, as they attracted mosquitoes.

Tuan Tuan went out to look for food by himself. There were several large glass jars on the counter filled with soft egg cakes and other pastries. The little guy couldn't see even if he stood on tiptoe. Finally, the man couldn't stand it anymore, put down the basket, and picked up the two brothers in one hand.

"What do you want to eat?"

The little hands were tapping on the glass jar, obviously wanting everything.

Chu Dai had no choice but to say, "One pound each."

The salesperson felt that the man in this shop spoiled his children a little too much. Young men and slightly older men often brought these two little cuties to buy snacks, and the man gave them whatever they wanted without even frowning.

I wanted to warn him out loud, but then I thought better of it.

People can afford it and are willing to feed their children, so others have no right to say anything.

Gu Qingqing came to pay with a bunch of things. Seeing the salesperson weighing the cakes and wrapping them in brown paper, she said to the man, "When you buy them, you just have to keep an eye on them. No more than two pieces a day. After you finish this, you don't have to eat."

"Did you hear what mother said?" The man put the kid down from his arms, took the cakes and put them in the basket: "It's all because your grandfather and uncle spoiled you so much that you want everything you eat."

As he said this, he smiled and asked the woman, "Is my attitude okay?"

Gu Qingqing snorted and laughed, "You have cleared yourself of all blame." In fact, this man loved their two sons the most.

The salesperson took the ticket and the money, counted out fifty-three cents and gave her change, and said, "Your two boys are so popular, no one would be reluctant not to buy it for them."

Gu Qingqing smiled and thanked him, took the money and put it in her pocket, then said to her two sons, "Auntie is praising you, why don't you thank me?"

"Xie Xie~Auntie~" The two brothers said in unison, with exactly the same expression.

The salesperson's originally tense face couldn't help but smile.

That's so cute.

Chapter 234: Prosperity 234 Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter  After waving goodbye to the salesperson and taking the two brothers home, Gu Qingqing went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook.

Vegetables like onions, garlic and leeks are all available in our backyard. The peppers have also blossomed and some small peppers have grown, which can be picked after a while.

It was past four o'clock now. Shen Sui and Old Qin came back together. When the two little guys saw Grandpa, they dragged him to the cupboard in the living room, one on each side, and stood on tiptoe to tap on the cupboard door to signal him to open it.

Qin Zhou always responded to his two grandsons' requests. He opened the cabinet door and asked, "What does Tuantuan Niannian want?"

"Gao Gao~" Xiao Niannian said vaguely: "Good~soft."

Qin Zhou saw a few brown paper packages and knew they were out buying food today. He picked up a package and asked, "Is this it?"

The two brothers were a little confused and unsure, "Grandpa, look~"

Old Qin smiled and unwrapped it, took out a fluffy egg cake, bent down and handed it to them: "Is this it?"

The little ones nodded repeatedly.

He rewrapped the brown paper and put it in the cupboard, then broke the egg cake in half to share with the little ones.

Tuantuan never took it. She pushed his hand with her little hand and put it to his mouth: "Grandpa~time!"

Qin Zhou's eyes were soft and gentle: "Tuan Tuan specially lets Grandpa taste it every year?"

The little guys nodded.

Old Qin handed the other half to Shen Sui who was drinking water nearby, and ate the one in his hand. It was soft and delicious.

He smiled at the two little guys and said, "It's delicious. Thank you Tuantuan for always thinking about Grandpa."

The little dumplings clapped their hands happily.

Shen Sui finished drinking the water, ate half a piece of egg cake, and went upstairs to pack up.

I have to take a train to the Construction Corps in the evening, so I'll pick up two pieces of clothes now and do some homework before dinner. I won't bring my books to the Corps.

Qin Zhou was playing with the two little ones downstairs, while Tuantuan and Niannian followed their grandfather to the study.

Pushing the door open, there are bookshelves on three sides, a desk next to the window, and a large wooden bed in the middle.

Tuan Tuan stood on tiptoe and tried to grab the brush on the pen holder. His fingertips just reached it and the brush dangled in the air and brushed past his fingers.

He never stops enjoying it.

Xiao Niannian sat on the wooden floor, crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball and threw it at his brother's feet.

Xiao Tuantuan was slow to react, squatted down slowly, picked up the paper ball, and threw it towards his brother again.

Qin Zhou stood in front of the desk, looked at the sunset outside, his brows softened, and picked up the ink stick beside him and began to grind.

Chu Dai came back from the vegetable garden in the backyard with some shallots. Seeing that the two little guys were not in the living room, he went to the kitchen and asked the woman, "Where are the kids?"

"Godfather took it to the study." Gu Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Comrade Chu Dai, you have a really heavy hand. I told you to pull a bunch of green onions, but you just pulled a piece."

“Aren’t you going to make dumplings with scallions and shrimps?” The man peeled off the yellow leaves on the scallions.

"Chives and shrimps," Gu Qingqing said helplessly, "Are you listening to me? What are you thinking about?"

Chu Dai looked at her for a long while with deep eyes, and said, "I forgot to go to the alley to see if there are any condoms."

Gu Qingqing glared at him, turned around, closed the kitchen door, and started to pick the shrimp thread: "You'll have to hold it in from now on."

The man washed the shallots and put them aside: "I can't hold it in."

“…”

Gu Canyang came back earlier than Chu Yuan. He put the qingtuan given by the long-faced sister-in-law in the kitchen and asked her, "Are you going to the Construction Corps tonight?"

"Yes, I didn't send a telegram to Goudan." Gu Qingqing was making wontons with chopped shrimp paste inside, which Tuantuan and Niannian loved to eat.

The man explained, "She was afraid that her second brother was injured and didn't tell anyone, so she wanted to launch a surprise attack."

He was also specifically ordered not to send any telegrams.

However, he still greeted Yu Fugui in advance to avoid having to walk to the Corps.

It takes half an hour to drive from the train station to the Corps. With two little ones and a wife who has trouble walking after a while, everything has to be done in advance.

Gu Canyang glanced at him and said, "I've taken a week off and will go with you guys." "Ah?" Gu Qingqing's almond eyes slightly widened: "Isn't it difficult for you to take leave?"

"Yeah." Gu Canyang stood by the door and looked at them, "Go pick him up."

Chu Dai shook his head and smiled: "If the second brother knew, he would definitely no longer think that the eldest brother doesn't care about him."

Gu Canyang is a person who doesn't express his emotions openly. He won't take the initiative to express his concern except in front of Gu Qingqing and his two little nephews.

Gu Qingqing put the wontons into the boiling seaweed and shrimp soup and said softly, "If he saw us, I don't know if he would be moved or scared to tears."

If he didn't tell others about his injury, he would be criticized.

Gu Canyang was listening to them talking at the door, occasionally saying a few words. Tuantuan Niannian came out of the study, and when she saw her uncle coming, her eyes lit up and she hugged his legs and rubbed them.

"Chirp~" Xiao Niannian stood on tiptoe to reach the hem of his clothes.

Gu Canyang bent down, moved his fingers slightly, and wiped the pastry crumbs from the little guy's mouth.

"What did you eat?" he asked.

"Gao Gao!" Xiao Tuantuan pulled his trouser leg again and led him to the cupboard.

He didn't refuse and followed them obediently.

Chu Dai looked back and sneered, "These two little guys are really good at trying to please people."

Use the things your parents bought for you as favors to make them happy. Next time when you want to eat something, just act cute to your grandpa and uncle and you will get it easily.

Gu Qingqing stirred the pot with chopsticks without saying anything.

The man crossed his arms, stared at her profile for a long time, and suddenly said, "They are like you in this temperament."

Such a sweet talker.

He has a lot of tricks to please people whenever he wants.

Gu Qingqing glanced at him and said, "No?"

"Sure, why not?" The man watched her add the chopped green onions and said, "It's good like you."

The woman snorted and blew on a wonton to cool it down before passing it to him: "Try and see if it's cooked."

The man lowered his head and swallowed, chewing slowly: "It's cooked, and the saltiness of the filling is just right."

"That's fine. Please get me two enamel bowls." The portion was just enough for the two brothers.

Chu Dai did as he was told and bent down to take two bowls from the cupboard below.

Gu Qingqing packed them up separately and put two spoons in: "Let them cool for a while, then put them on the coffee table and let them eat by themselves." The enamel ones are not afraid of falling, at most the paint will be chipped off.

Now I try to let the two little ones eat by themselves, but this kind of soupy food still needs an adult to watch over them.

Although she made dumplings, she also steamed some rice so that she wouldn't get hungry easily.

Shrimp dumplings and green onion pork dumplings were put into the pot together. Gu Qingqing asked the man: "Can you make a dipping sauce?"

Chu Dai raised his eyebrows, took a small bowl, poured some soy sauce into it, added a handful of chopped green onions, stirred it with chopsticks, and said, "It's done."

When the dumplings floated up, she scooped five or six of them into a porcelain bowl with a spatula and said, "Try some first."

The man held the bowl, picked up the dumplings, blew them cool, and then handed them to the woman's mouth.

Gu Qingqing took a bite naturally and found the shrimp filling particularly delicious.

Chu Dai ate the rest in one bite. He leaned against the stove slightly, thinking of the past, and couldn't help laughing: "If Old Yu knew that you are such a good cook now, he would definitely want to cry."

After all, Gu Qingqing was the first person he had ever seen who could turn good pig bones into poisonous soup.

It looks good and smells good. I don't know why it tastes so good when I put it in my mouth... I can't explain it in words.

Gu Qingqing couldn't help laughing, "Later, Uncle Yu told me to tell him if I wanted to eat anything and he would cook for me, but he didn't allow me to waste the ingredients anymore."

The man smiled and nodded, "It was indeed a bit of a waste at that time."

Then, his eyes dimmed and he reminded her: "The Construction Corps has added a lot of new soldiers now. The people you know may be less than one-third of them."

The soldiers who were knocked down by her pot of soup in the wounded camp later died one after another on the border battlefield.

Gu Qingqing paused for a long time before speaking: "I understand."

This time, she not only wanted to pick up her brother, but also wanted to see those familiar people. She was grateful for their care during the two or three months she was in the Construction Corps.

People like Uncle Yu, Uncle Zhu from the pig farm and Uncle Zhang from the quartermaster department are all very nice people, as well as that group of energetic brothers.

The two fell into memories and fell silent.

At half past five, the food was served. There were two large bowls of hot dumplings, steamed fish and blanched shrimps. Gu Qingqing also had some cold eggplant.

Chu Yuan came back just in time and went to the bathroom to wash his hands and eat.

Xiao Xu and Qin Lao's orderly has rarely appeared recently, especially at mealtime.

There were so many people in the Chu family, and they didn’t want to cause trouble for Gu Qingqing, so they finished eating in the cafeteria and came over.

Chu Yuan wiped his hands, glanced at his two grandsons who were lying on the coffee table and eating wontons with a spoon, then sat down.

"The little girl from the Bai family is getting married next week. Your uncle Bai just told me verbally that our whole family should go there."

Gu Qingqing was holding a bowl with dumplings in her hand. She was stunned for a moment when she heard his words and subconsciously glanced at the man with lazy eyes next to her.

"Father." After thinking for a while, she said, "At noon, Bai Rong came to see A Dai."

Chu Yuan took the dumplings she handed over, picked up the chopsticks and glanced at his son, then poked the dumplings into his mouth.

"What did I tell you?" He knew what the little girl from the Bai family was thinking, and he felt a little guilty towards Old Bai.

Back then, the two boys were young and frivolous, and they felt that they would be under the control of their father in the military region and would never be able to make any progress.

So the two brothers discussed it and ran to the border town, thinking of making achievements and proving to the masters that they were not incapable.

The Bai family has a son and a daughter. The son is both intelligent and brave, and very outstanding.

Unfortunately, he was defeated in the Construction Corps, and Lao Bai became completely desperate.

The only thing I care about is my daughter.

"She said she didn't want to get married and asked me to help her." Chu Dai took a bite of the dumpling stuffed with green onions and pork, and his mouth was filled with the fragrance.

It should be stir-fried pork belly.

"Help? How can you help?" Chu Yuan snorted coldly: "She set the wedding date herself this time." He was wondering why this matter was suddenly decided. When he asked Lao Bai, he found out that it was his girl who wanted to do it in advance.

Chu Dai was still eating dumplings. He was stunned for a moment, not quite sure what Bai Rong was thinking.

Old Qin, who had been silent the whole time, said in a gentle voice: "The girl from the Bai family is smart. The person she is with now is her best choice."

Gu Qingqing suddenly understood. Yue, thanks to their care.

People like Uncle Yu, Uncle Zhu from the pig farm and Uncle Zhang from the quartermaster department are all very nice people, as well as that group of energetic brothers.

The two fell into memories and fell silent.

At half past five, the food was served. There were two large bowls of hot dumplings, steamed fish and blanched shrimps. Gu Qingqing also had some cold eggplant.

"The little girl from the Bai family is getting married next week. Your uncle Bai just told me verbally that our whole family should go there."

Gu Qingqing was holding a bowl with dumplings in her hand. She was stunned for a moment when she heard his words and subconsciously glanced at the man with lazy eyes next to her.

"Father." After thinking for a while, she said, "At noon, Bai Rong came to see A Dai."

Chu Yuan took the dumplings she handed over, picked up the chopsticks and glanced at his son, then poked the dumplings into his mouth.

"What did I tell you?" He knew what the little girl from the Bai family was thinking, and he felt a little guilty towards Old Bai.

Back then, the two boys were young and frivolous, and they felt that they would be under the control of their father in the military region and would never be able to make any progress.

So the two brothers discussed it and ran to the border town, thinking of making achievements and proving to the masters that they were not incapable.

The Bai family has a son and a daughter. The son is both intelligent and brave, and very outstanding.

Unfortunately, he was defeated in the Construction Corps, and Lao Bai became completely desperate.

The only thing I care about is my daughter.

"She said she didn't want to get married and asked me to help her." Chu Dai took a bite of the dumpling stuffed with green onions and pork, and his mouth was filled with the fragrance.

It should be stir-fried pork belly.

"Help? How can you help?" Chu Yuan snorted coldly: "She set the wedding date herself this time." He was wondering why this matter was suddenly decided. When he asked Lao Bai, he found out that it was his girl who wanted to do it in advance.

Chu Dai was still eating dumplings. He was stunned for a moment, not quite sure what Bai Rong was thinking.

Old Qin, who had been silent the whole time, said in a gentle voice: "The girl from the Bai family is smart. The person she is with now is her best choice."

Gu Qingqing suddenly understood. Yue, thanks to their care.

People like Uncle Yu, Uncle Zhu from the pig farm and Uncle Zhang from the quartermaster department are all very nice people, as well as that group of energetic brothers.

The two fell into memories and fell silent.

At half past five, the food was served. There were two large bowls of hot dumplings, steamed fish and blanched shrimps. Gu Qingqing also had some cold eggplant.

Chu Yuan came back just in time and went to the bathroom to wash his hands and eat.

Xiao Xu and Qin Lao's orderly has rarely appeared recently, especially at mealtime.

Old Qin, who had been silent the whole time, said in a gentle voice: "The girl from the Bai family is smart. The person she is with now is her best choice."

Gu Qingqing suddenly understood.

Chapter 235: Prosperity 235 Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter  Anyway, since he couldn't get Chu Dai, the better ones in the military region would have already married and had children. Someone like Chu Zhao would definitely not want to marry Bai Rong.

There is no other reason, it's simply because I treat her as my younger sister.

Therefore, this promising young man is her best choice.

If she marries the son of her father's old subordinate, she will definitely not be bullied by her parents-in-law, and she may even have to rely on her father-in-law's family for promotion.

Now that the Bai family has lost their son, they will definitely do their best to train their son-in-law.

Besides, his family is not poor and his grandfather can give him a helping hand.

He has a good family background, is capable, ambitious and has a good background. It is a good choice for Bai Rong to marry him.

Gu Qingqing sat down and asked, "Father, are we going to go then?"

A week later, I just returned from the Construction Corps.

“It’s up to you.” Chu Yuan drank a mouthful of dumpling soup. “If you don’t feel comfortable, you don’t have to go. No one from the Bai family came to your wedding. They just gave a gift.”

Lao Bai is his old friend. He didn’t come to Chu Dai’s wedding last time. One reason was that seeing him would remind him of Bai Yan, and the other reason was because of his daughter.

He knew his daughter's feelings for Chu Dai and he used to support her.

The aunts in the compound all watched little Bairong grow up, and they are close friends of Aunt Bai, so it is inevitable that they are biased towards her.

Chu Yuan also understood that his daughter-in-law had suffered a lot of grievances in the military compound. Fortunately, she had several brothers here, and he heard that she had a good relationship with other family members of the same age in other military compounds.

"Brother, are we going?" Gu Qingqing looked at the man next to her.

Chu Dai thought for a moment and said, "Forget it." He originally wanted to go to watch her get married on behalf of her brother, but he was also afraid that Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai would see him and think of A Yan on their wedding day and would be sad.

Gu Qingqing understood his thoughts. She held the man's left hand tightly under the table and gently scratched his palm to comfort him.

Chu Dai smiled and shook his head, indicating that everything was fine.

Gu Canyang didn't say a word from beginning to end. After eating, he said hello to the two elders and went to the sofa to watch the two little ones eat wontons.

It was past six o'clock when they finished eating. Shen Sui and Chu Dai cleaned up the table together. Chu Yuan asked his daughter-in-law, "Qingqing, have you packed all the things to take to the Corps? I'll ask Xiao Xu to drive you to the train station."

"Don't worry, everything has been checked." Thinking of something, she smiled and asked, "Is there anything you need to bring to Uncle Guan?"

Chu Yuan shook his head: "He will be transferred to the sub-war zone and will come to the headquarters military zone to submit a report. We will see him sooner or later."

Speaking of which, he and Guan Xun haven't seen each other for almost ten years.

This time the Construction Corps completed the task beautifully.

Gu Qinglie led a team to sneak into the enemy's joint command post, took pictures of the evidence of the two countries' cooperation, and handed it over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs used aggressive words to force the other country to withdraw its troops immediately, otherwise they would go to war at the same time.

That country's external rhetoric has always been that it will not interfere in any war. This time, secretly sending troops is a slap in its own face and has destroyed its own credibility internationally.

They had no choice but to withdraw their troops immediately because their country was small and their military strength was insufficient to withstand the war.

He secretly intervened here just to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

They withdrew their troops, leaving only the neighboring country to hold on alone. The Luzhong Corps had already dispatched troops to ambush at the border. What's more, when Gu Qinglie returned, several Y-5s from the headquarters military region brought the elite of the field army and sufficient supplies.

This battle was a brilliant victory, and there would be no more wars on the border for at least ten years.

"Qing Lie's promotion order has been sent out to the deputy commander of the field artillery regiment of the field army special forces column." Chu Yuan couldn't help but praise: "This kid is great."

This transfer order was signed by him personally, but it was proposed by another army commander.

This is enough to show how great a contribution Gu Qinglie made in this battle.

"Most heroes emerge from the young." Old Qin said with a smile, "We are old."

Chu Yuan just shook his head.

Each era has a different mission, and they were no worse than the young people today.

Commander Chu has his own pride, and Chu Dai understands this very well.

After washing the dishes, Shen Sui went upstairs to bring down his clothes and the luggage bag from his sister's room. He only brought a set of clothes for changing, and the remaining space in the bag was for diapers and clothes for his two little nephews.

"Brother, don't you need to bring something?" Gu Qingqing put the salted fish into a paper bag and folded it in the luggage bag.

Gu Canyang lowered his eyes and looked at her: "No need."

"Ah?" Gu Qingqing opened her mouth and looked up at him: "You don't take a shower when you go to the Corps?"

There was a hint of helplessness in the man's cold eyes, "Qing Lie has clothes."

"Oh, that's right, but it might be too big for you." Gu Qingqing looked at his body, "Didn't I make a few sets of clothes for you in the room on the third floor?" Thinking of this, she called the boy again, "A Sui! Go to the third floor and get a set of clothes for big brother in his room. The black one will do. Put it in your bag."

"Okay." Shen Sui turned around and went upstairs again.

When the things were almost packed, Gu Qingqing took out four or five canned fruits from the cupboard. The two little ones would definitely not be able to sit still on the train, so she had to bring more food to keep them entertained.

Chu Dai picked up the two bags and weighed them: "They are quite heavy."

"Of course, there are salted fish and dried shrimp. I bought a lot of them in the past two months." Gu Qingqing came out of the bathroom and wiped the mouths of her two sons with a wet towel: "Didn't Aunt Yu send a telegram last time saying that salted fish and dried shrimp are delicious and that little rabbits love to eat them, so I thought of bringing more this time."

"Is it almost done?" Xiao Xu came in from outside. "The car is parked at the gate of the military compound. I'll help you carry your luggage over."

"The black bag next to it." Chu Dai nodded his chin slightly: "Your sister has dried too much salted fish in the past two months, so she filled three or four bags."

The two little guys were clinging to their uncle, and Gu Canyang held one in each hand, leaving him with no hands free to carry things.

Shen Sui was carrying two bags of clothes and had no spare time.

As for Gu Qingqing, she took a paper bag used by the department store and put a few cans and a bag of pastries in it.

She can only do some lighter things.

Xiao Xu happened to be carrying the remaining two bags.

Gu Qingqing looked around and said goodbye to her father and godfather, and reminded them: "The vegetables in my backyard..."

Chu Yuan was a little amused: "I know, watering, right? Your godfather and I both remember it."

I never grew vegetables when I was young, but now that I’m old I have to learn a little bit about everything.

What a good wife his son married.

Qin Zhou also stood up and said, "I'll take you to the gate of the military family compound."

Gu Qingqing felt relieved, "Okay, thank you, Dad." Sometimes when she called out too quickly, she didn't make much of a distinction between father and godfather, and just mixed them up.

Qin Zhou didn't care much about it, and Chu Yuan had no objection either.

"Take good care of Tuantuan every year. There are many mosquitoes in the border town and the sun is very strong." Chu Yuan walked on the bluestone path with his hands behind his back and said to his son beside him.

Chu Dai responded absentmindedly, and the father and son looked at each other in silence.

After putting everything in the car, Gu Qingqing waved to the two elders: "Dad, you guys should go back and have a rest early. Don't practice calligraphy so late at night. It hurts your eyes."

"Okay." Qin Zhou nodded with a smile.

A group of people got into the car, Xiao Xu stepped on the accelerator slightly, and drove towards the gate of the military district.

After checking the pass and officer ID, the sentry let him pass.

He sent them to the train station and helped buy four tickets. Xiao Xu saw them off to the train on the platform and waited until the train started moving slowly before leaving the train station.

Xiao Tuantuan and Xiao Niannian stuck to the car window, watching the platform slowly moving backwards outside and Xiao Xu gradually disappearing. After making a fuss for a while, they sat back in the warm arms of the person next to them.

Next to Xiao Niannian was his uncle. He sat face to face on his uncle’s lap, yawning with his little mouth.

Next to Gu Canyang was Shen Sui, and opposite them were Gu Qingqing and Chu Dai. Little Tuantuan was carried by the woman to the man's arms, and the milk powder she brought from home was still warm.

Gu Qingqing took out two bottles from the paper bag and handed them to them.

Tuantuan dozed off every year. He would fall asleep leaning against his uncle and father while drinking milk.

There were not many people on the train, most of them were on business trips from state-owned factories or other units, and their food and travel expenses were reimbursed, so they didn't have to worry. Gu Qingqing withdrew her gaze, she was also a little sleepy, and looked at her watch. It was half past eight.

She tilted her head slightly and leaned it on the man's shoulder, rubbed his arm, and planned to take a nap.

They stopped and walked along the way, with people getting on and off from time to time, and the sounds coming from the radio did not affect her at all.

We arrived at Yancheng Station at four in the morning, and the train was delayed for more than an hour due to a stop.

It is difficult for trains to be on time, but everyone is used to it and no one is in a hurry.

The boiler was burning non-stop and the smell of coal filled the carriage.

Chu Dai couldn't sleep, so he looked across and saw Shen Sui had fallen asleep.

Gu Canyang was holding a little guy in his arms, also with his eyes closed.

Chu Dai looked at him a few more times. Even when he was asleep, this man looked very cold and he looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

I didn’t think anything of it when I first met him, but later, perhaps influenced by his wife and Goudan, the more I looked at Gu Canyang, the more frightened I felt.

In Gu Qinglie's words, although his expression is very calm, as long as he glances at you casually, you will feel guilty as if you have done something wrong.

Chu Dai stared at his face with interest for a few more seconds, and couldn't help but think of what the little woman said to him at noon when she held the photo with her.

The best-looking person she had ever seen since she was a child was her eldest brother, until Goudan sent her their photos.

She got on the train without hesitation and went to the Construction Corps.

It should be this train.

In just two years, she went from going to the construction corps alone to bringing her family with her.

I got what I wanted.

Chu Dai glanced sideways at the woman on his shoulder. She was sleeping soundly with a relaxed look on her face.

He couldn't help but smile.

This time the train stopped at various stations for a long time. I originally sat for a night, and then continued to sit for another day and night, until I got off the train at noon on the third day.

Gu Qingqing rubbed her sore waist and muttered, "Luckily I brought enough delicious food, otherwise the two little guys would be restless."

They also bought meals on the train and they tasted pretty good.

The three men were carrying things in their hands. Gu Qingqing held a little boy in each hand and followed them out of the station.

The familiar smell of wind and sand still blew in her face. The air was mixed with fine sand and was extremely hot and stuffy. Gu Qingqing withdrew her gaze. She was also a little sleepy. She looked at her watch and it was half past eight.

She tilted her head slightly and leaned it on the man's shoulder, rubbed his arm, and planned to take a nap.

They stopped and walked along the way, with people getting on and off from time to time, and the sounds coming from the radio did not affect her at all.

The familiar smell of wind and sand still blew in her face. The air was mixed with fine sand and was extremely hot and stuffy. Gu Qingqing withdrew her gaze. She was also a little sleepy. She looked at her watch and it was half past eight.

She tilted her head slightly and leaned it on the man's shoulder, rubbed his arm, and planned to take a nap.

They stopped and walked along the way, with people getting on and off from time to time, and the sounds coming from the radio did not affect her at all.

We arrived at Yancheng Station at four in the morning, and the train was delayed for more than an hour due to a stop.

It is difficult for trains to be on time, but everyone is used to it and no one is in a hurry.

The boiler was burning non-stop and the smell of coal filled the carriage.

Chu Dai couldn't sleep, so he looked across and saw Shen Sui had fallen asleep.

Gu Canyang was holding a little guy in his arms, also with his eyes closed.

Chu Dai looked at him a few more times. Even when he was asleep, this man looked very cold and he looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

I didn’t think anything of it when I first met him, but later, perhaps influenced by his wife and Goudan, the more I looked at Gu Canyang, the more frightened I felt.

In Gu Qinglie's words, although his expression is very calm, as long as he glances at you casually, you will feel guilty as if you have done something wrong.

Chu Dai stared at his face with interest for a few more seconds, and couldn't help but think of what the little woman said to him at noon when she held the photo with her.

The best-looking person she had ever seen since she was a child was her eldest brother, until Goudan sent her their photos.

She got on the train without hesitation and went to the Construction Corps.

It should be this train.

In just two years, she went from going to the construction corps alone to bringing her family with her.

I got what I wanted.

Chu Dai glanced sideways at the woman on his shoulder. She was sleeping soundly with a relaxed look on her face.

He couldn't help but smile.

This time the train stopped at various stations for a long time. I originally sat for a night, and then continued to sit for another day and night, until I got off the train at noon on the third day.

Gu Qingqing rubbed her sore waist and muttered, "Luckily I brought enough delicious food, otherwise the two little guys would be restless."

They also bought meals on the train and they tasted pretty good.
