Chapter 301: Prosperity · Extra · Daily Life of Couples Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter  When she first came to Baisha Island, Gu Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable.

She grew up in Yancheng, and suddenly came to the humid and hot southern part, feeling sticky all over every day.

It wasn't just because of the sweating, my brain also felt sticky, as if it was covered by something, and I didn't feel refreshed at all.

Seeing that she was depressed, the man went to find Zhao Ze.

"I feel heavy and sleepy, easily tired, and not very active." Chu Dai pulled a chair and sat down opposite him, "Give me some medicine."

"These symptoms you mentioned" Zhao Ze pondered for a moment, "Why do they look like pregnancy?"

The man who had been leaning lazily on the chair suddenly sat up straight with his back tensed.

"Are you sure?"

Zhao Ze was a little speechless. "I didn't see him, how can I be sure that you don't know the truth?"

Chu Dai thought about it and said, "No way." We always take measures.

The man frowned and said, "The two boxes of gifts you brought when we got married have expired."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. They are all newly produced and directly supplied to the troops by the manufacturer. Who dares to fool them?" Zhao Ze saw that he was absent-minded and stopped teasing him. "It should be because the humidity is too high at the seaside. She just came to the south and can't adapt."

"I'll prescribe you some Shenling Baizhu powder. Take it back and let her take it for a few days." Zhao Ze tied two medicine bags to him. "Although the mission is heavy recently, you still have to pay more attention to the girl. The little girl came here with you from afar to suffer. Don't let her think that you don't care about her."

Upon learning that she was not pregnant, Chu Dai breathed a sigh of relief, yet at the same time, he felt a sense of inexplicable loss in his heart.

He always wanted to wait until she got used to life on the island before having a child, but if she really had one, he felt he would be so happy that he would go crazy.

The man leaned back again, his fingers hooked on the rope of the medicine bag. "Don't just remind me. It's not easy for Xu Nian to follow you. Treat her better."

"That's natural."

That day, it was half past six in the evening.

After Chu Dai finished the task, he walked towards the North District Military Family Compound, chatting and laughing with Zhao Ze.

Those transferred from their Construction Corps and Luzhong Corps all lived in the North District, and Zhao Ze's home was not far from the Chu family's.

"Is the medicine effective?" Zhao Ze asked.

"It's a bit useful," Chu Dai didn't know how to describe it, "He looks more energetic than before."

"What kind of spiritual method is this?"

"I was prone to dozing off in the past few days and didn't like to move around. I cleaned the windows at home yesterday."

It has been humid recently, and the windows and the wooden floors upstairs are always wet, so Gu Qingqing takes a dry rag and wipes everywhere.

Not long after she finished wiping, the glass was wet again, and she kept doing it over and over again, never getting tired of it.

"Zhao Ze was silent for a while. "Take the medicine again tomorrow. I will increase the dosage." The girl who used to jump around in the Construction Corps suddenly became so quiet. There was indeed something wrong.

Chu Dai nodded, reached into his pocket, and touched some wild fruit, then he hurried back home.

Gu Qingqing has been learning how to cook recently, and Chu Dai rarely eats in the cafeteria.

It was a little difficult to swallow at first. Gu Qingqing felt sorry for him because he had to do physical work in the cave the next day, so she went to the canteen to get him some steamed buns.

The taste is pretty good now and the men are not too picky. Zhao Ze and the others from the Construction Corps often come here to eat.

Usually when the men were busy, Xu Nian would come to her to study the recipes and prepare a list of ingredients to be brought by the supply ship next time.

"Wife." As soon as he arrived in the yard, the man took off his military jacket, shook off the dirt and dust on his clothes, and hung them on a bamboo pole.

"In the kitchen," the little woman said softly, knowing that he was back, and the ending tone was filled with uncontrollable joy.

The man smiled, took out some red wild fruits from his coat pocket, and went into the kitchen.

Gu Qingqing was cutting vegetables while Xiao Huanniang made tofu and gave it to her. She smoked it and made it into dried tofu, preparing to stir-fry it with shredded pork.

The fruits were washed and put in a bowl. The man picked one and handed it to her mouth.

Gu Qingqing took a bite and said with a smile, "It's sweet."

"Yeah." Chu Dai raised his hand and wiped the juice from her mouth. "I know you don't like sour food, so I tasted it before picking it."

There are dense forests on the other side of the cave, with many wild fruits. Although Chu Dai has never seen them, Zhao Ze is there.

He knows exactly what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.

Gu Qingqing stood on tiptoe and rubbed the man's chin with the end of her hair. "Thank you, brother."

“You’re welcome, sister.” The man lowered his eyebrows and smiled.

After dinner, Gu Qingqing sat on the bed, and the man sat on the chair next to her, talking to her.

"My nephew sent me a lot of shrimps. We can't finish them all. I want to dry them and send them to Nanyang by ship. I will then send a telegram to my eldest brother and ask him to send them back to Datunzi Village."

The man put his arm on the back of the chair, nodded and smiled, "This is not enough. We will take a break in two days. Call your dozen brothers to go to the sea together and send more sun back."

"Okay." Gu Qingqing saw that he looked a little tired, so she stood up slightly, put her small hands on the man's shoulders, and massaged slowly. "Brother, are you very hard every day?"

"It's not that bad. It's not much different from training in the Construction Corps." He didn't tell the truth because he was afraid that the little woman would worry. "It's not hot working in the cave. It's more comfortable than outside."

It was getting hotter and hotter on the island. I had to change clothes several times a day and I would sweat easily if I moved at all.

Gu Qingqing believed it and moved her hands slowly and gently.

The man suddenly smiled, "Sister."

"Hmm" the little woman was a little confused.

“Afraid of hurting me”

Before Gu Qingqing could react, she heard him slowly add, "I'm reluctant to use all my strength."

She increased the strength of her hands and said, "Chu Dai, don't push your luck." Her soft words had no threat power. Chu Dai was thinking that the dosage of the medicine really needed to be increased.

She used to be such a fierce girl, but now she is like a docile little rabbit. She won’t scratch people when she is angry, but just stare blankly.

There is not much water on the island, and Chu Dai has become accustomed to the days of water shortage in the Construction Corps, so he always waits for her to finish washing before washing himself.

Although it usually takes the little woman an hour to wash the dishes, it took a little too long today.

Two hours later, the man leaned against the bathroom door and tapped his fingers. "Qingqing."

"The woman in the bathroom didn't say anything for a long time. She didn't know how her period came suddenly while she was washing. The menstrual belt was in the bedroom closet.

She didn't change into her new pajamas because she was afraid of getting them dirty.

As for the pants I took off, I didn't hold them firmly and they fell into the bath water.

"Wife," the man called again, and just as he was about to push the door open, he met a pair of dark eyes through the crack of the door.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was okay, he felt relieved.

"That" she said a little embarrassedly "Brother, can you help me get that?"

"Hmm" the man didn't react for a moment, "Which clothes or towels."

The little woman didn't speak for a long time. Her face hiding behind the door was a little red, and her neck was a light pink.

Chu Dai came back to his senses and chuckled, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

Hearing the footsteps gradually moving away, she leaned her shoulders against the wooden door and couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her face.

The man opened the wardrobe, his eyes scanned the clothes, opened the drawer, found the strip of cloth, and suddenly felt it was a little hot.

"Qingqing, open the door."

Gu Qingqing widened the gap in the door a little and stretched out her slender wrist.

The man handed her the cloth strip, and the door closed with a snap.

Hearing some rustling sounds inside, the man's Adam's apple rolled and he subconsciously touched his earlobe.

A little hot.

He leaned against the wall, saying nothing, waiting for her to come out.

When Gu Qingqing opened the door, she was startled by the man's clear gaze. "Do you want to take a shower? I'll get you some clothes."

"Okay." The man's eyes were deep. Seeing her fresh and clean face after taking a shower, he felt hot all over.

For some reason, I felt restless.

Gu Qingqing didn't know what was wrong. She didn't feel any pain before the period came, nor when it just came. But she started to feel pain as soon as she dried her hair and lay down on the bed.

When the man came in, he saw her huddled in the quilt, with her big eyes sticking out, looking pitiful.

He strode over, sat down beside the bed, and skillfully reached his hand under the quilt to rub her belly.

Gu Qingqing seemed to have suddenly found support. She moved towards him and rested her head on the man's slightly bent right leg on the edge of the bed.

No one spoke and the room was silent.

She closed her eyes and looked a little pale.

The man bent down slightly, looked down at her, and his hands moved slowly.

After about ten minutes, she fell asleep with her brows furrowed.

The man lowered his head and kissed her eyes.

He took the pillow next to her and put it under her head. He slowly got up, covered her with a blanket, and went to the kitchen.

"Click" the kitchen light came on.

Because she was weak, she always had brown sugar at home. She took out a glass jar from the cupboard and scooped three spoonfuls of brown sugar into the bowl with a spoon.

Turn on the fire, add water to the pot, chop up a piece of old ginger and throw it in to cook.

After a while, he poured in brown sugar, stirred it slowly with chopsticks, and covered the pot.

The man leaned against the stove, listening to the bubbling sound of the ginger sugar water in the pot, his brows gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Gu Qingqing woke up after a short while and subconsciously touched the place next to her, but it was empty.

I took the watch from the bedside table and looked at it. It was half past ten.

She got up quickly and ran out to the living room without even putting on her shoes.

Only when I saw the orange light reflected in the kitchen door did I feel at ease.

Hearing the noise, the man came out of the kitchen. Seeing the little woman at the door, he was surprised, "What's wrong, Qingqing?"

His eyes moved downwards, he frowned, and took the woman's waist, lifted her up slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Step on my foot."

Gu Qingqing did as she was told. Her slender waist was tightly held by the man. She nestled in his arms obediently and whispered, "I thought you were on an emergency mission again."

The cave is still under construction and there are frequent rockfalls and landslides, especially during heavy rains.

Sometimes she woke up in the middle of the night and found that she was not sleeping in the man's arms, and there was a cold area next to her.

Chu Dai felt so distressed when he saw how well-behaved she was. He grabbed the woman's waist with a little force and led her to the kitchen.

He turned off the fire and let the woman stand on his feet. He said, "It's okay, don't be afraid. I'm home."

Gu Qingqing nodded, and lay in his arms, holding his narrow waist tightly with both hands and refusing to let go.

The man smiled helplessly, put his arm around her with his right hand, opened the lid of the pot with his left hand, picked up the pot, poured the ginger sugar water into the bowl, and stirred it slowly with a spoon to dissipate the heat.

When the ginger sugar water cooled down a bit and was almost warm, he brought it to the woman's mouth and said, "Let's drink it and go to bed."

Gu Qingqing blinked and drank all the ginger sugar water in one gulp.

He glanced at the bowl and saw that it was empty. He kissed the woman's forehead and said, "Our Qingqing is so good."

Gu Qingqing loosened her arms around his waist and hooked her arms around his neck instead, "Brother, carry me to sleep."

"good."

Putting down the bowl, the man put his left hand through her legs and picked her up sideways, not forgetting to remind her to "turn off the lights."

"Okay." Her stomach felt warm, and the warmth spread from her lower abdomen to every part of her body. She felt a little better. She raised her head and kissed the man's chin. When she passed the kitchen door, she quickly turned off the light.

In the darkness, a man's light laughter could be faintly heard.

Daily life of couple, end.

Chapter 302: Prosperity and Prosperity·Extra·Chanyang Chapter Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter  Winter 1982.

The Luzhong Corps and the Construction Corps fought together, and the two regiments were surrounded on the east and west fronts by the main forces of three divisions of the neighboring country respectively.

The situation on the battlefield was at a stalemate.

The Southern Military Region Command quickly issued an operational order for the Air Force to support the Central Army Corps in jointly annihilating the enemy.

The Air Force Group Army dispatched three Tu-2 bombers and two La-9 fighters to the border town. At the same time, three Yun-5s were deployed to airdrop food and ammunition for the ground troops.

At the same time, Gu Canyang, deputy commander of the 7th Division of the Air Force Group Army, personally led a team of five J-6s to arrive at the border town ahead of schedule.

The young deputy division commander ordered the establishment of a temporary command post. After understanding the battlefield situation, he ordered the Air Force reconnaissance unit to carry out bombing and strafing, and cooperate with the army troops in the jungle to gather on the eastern front and break out.

The army soldiers who received the ammunition supplies looked up at the Y-5 circling in the sky and flew away, and they were all ready to pull the bolts and load bullets.

The deputy commander of the Construction Corps gnashed his teeth and said, "I must annihilate the main force of the enemy division today and capture their commander for shooting."

In the jungle, a dark shadow passed by quickly. He was surprised. "What is that? What is the sniper of the Luzhong Corps going to do?"

The sniper, wearing jungle camouflage combat uniform and with dark green paint on his face, was moving forward quickly with a sniper rifle on his back.

With the assistance of the Air Force and replenishment of military rations and ammunition, the two corps worked together to advance towards the enemy command post.

Military merit delivered to your door

The army soldiers' eyes were all green, and they were more ferocious than the wild wolves in the jungle. They howled and screamed as if they wished they could tear the enemy's bones into their stomachs.

When he was still one thousand meters away from the enemy command post, the sniper stopped, climbed up a dense tree nearby, found the most suitable position, and lay on the tree motionless.

The army soldiers passing by didn't notice it.

The air force continued to bomb, and the main force of the enemy division was beaten to pieces. The enemy commander ordered the command post to be abandoned and the entire army retreated.

The sniper lying on the treetops could hear the rustling of the wind. Her eyes were deep and calm. "Wind speed 5, northwest direction, humidity..."

"Bang"

Bullets whizzed past and someone fell down.

When the battlefield was finally cleaned up, the deputy commander of the Construction Corps used his toes to turn over the enemy soldier who was lying face down. "Look at his skin, he is the supreme commander."

"Yes," the battalion commander confirmed, "it's the enemy commander."

The deputy regiment commander looked at his head which was pierced by a bullet, leaving a black hole in it. He spat out the weeds in his mouth, and then hit him twice with the butt of the rifle, cursing, "Who the hell fired the gun? How can we catch him and shoot him now?"

"Oh," the deputy commander of the Luzhong Corps, whose face was covered in black and gray and covered in wounds from stray bullets, came over, glanced at the uniform and rank of the corpse on the ground, and grinned, "Oh, this is the enemy commander, right? His shooting skills are really good, even his forehead can pierce the air."

The deputy head of the Construction Corps squinted at him and said, "What has it got to do with you? This guy was killed by people from our Corps. Don't come and take credit for it."

The deputy commander of the Luzhong Corps, who looked like a charcoal, wiped his face, which was a mixture of black ash and blood. He bent down and rubbed his palms on the corpse.

"This bullet hole was obviously caused by a sniper rifle."

"We have snipers in our Construction Corps"

Deputy Captain Heitan showed his big white teeth. "Yes, you have snipers, but not such a good sniper. If I'm not mistaken, this was shot by a sniper from our Luzhong Corps. She used a Dragunov, a semi-automatic sniper rifle with a range of 1,300. There should be shell casings nearby. Look for them if you don't believe me."

Finally, the only sniper bullet shell was found within half a meter, and the deputy commander of the Construction Corps was speechless.

Deputy Captain Heitan laughed even more proudly, "Oh, oh, oh, none of your snipers came to stay in the garrison this time."

The deputy commander of the Construction Corps, who was covered in dust and dirt, could no longer tolerate it and left with the three battalions.

Xiao Xiao came out of the jungle carrying a sniper rifle and watched his comrades cleaning the battlefield.

Someone nearby handed her a can and she took it and said, “Thanks.”

The deputy commanders of the two corps led their teams to gather outside the temporary command center. The commander of the Construction Corps and the commander of the Luzhong Corps were also there. They looked at each other and snorted coldly at the same time.

Lifting the military tent, he saw a stern figure standing in front of a map of the border jungle with his hands behind his back, standing at attention, "Reporting to the commander, 15,983 enemies were killed, more than 18,000 fled, and the enemy commander was killed."

The young officer turned around and glanced at them calmly. "Immediately count our casualties and write a detailed combat report to the military district."

"yes"

When they left the command post, they were all sweating coldly.

"Why is the deputy commander of the Air Force so oppressive?" The commander of the Construction Corps muttered a few words, and then wiped away the dejection from his brows. "The enemy first sent a small force to lure us in, and then gradually increased its forces, wanting to eat us up in one go. Unexpectedly, we lost a large force instead of stealing the chicken, and the rest are not a big deal."

"Four thousand people annihilated ten thousand enemies," the head of the Luzhong Corps almost trembled, "I wonder who among those old guys in the future who will dare to say that our Luzhong Corps is inferior in the division of war zones?"

"It's because the military district reacted quickly and the air force support came quickly, otherwise we would have been trapped." The head of the Construction Corps asked, "Lao Hei, Xiao Hei from your corps said that the one who sniped the enemy commander was a female sniper from your corps. I, Lao Zhao, have never asked anyone for help in my life."

"Stop." As soon as Lao Hei heard him speak, he knew what this man was up to. "Don't count on it. She was transferred here by the military region to complete the academic assignments assigned by the Army Field Academy. Now that she has handed in her assignment, she is going back to her old unit for a promotion."

"Okay," Lao Zhao sighed, "Such a good sniper is not right."

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Old Black, you are the kind of person who plunders others' wealth. Did you ask someone to train you a sniper? Give me two of them. You can pick any two of the soldiers in my infantry fighting tank company."

"Deal!" Lao Hei smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Lao Zhao thought

It's over, I lost money.

Xiao Xiao didn't expect that after two years, she would see him again in the war zone.

In the military tent, the staff officer who came with Gu Canyang contacted the Nanyang Military Region Command and reported the combat situation in detail, and then conveyed her transfer order to Xiao Xiao.

"Captain Xiao, the military district orders you to follow the air force back to Nanyang immediately."

Xiao Xiao stood at attention and said, "Obey the order."

After the staff officer and others packed up and left, she looked at the cold and lonely man in front of her and suddenly smiled.

"Gu Canyang."

The man's eyebrows were dark, and he looked at her calmly.

"It's an honor to be your comrade-in-arms." Fight side by side.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Air Force's Tu-2, Y-5, J-6 and La-9 returned to the Southern Military Region after refueling.

Inside the Y-5, Xiao Xiao leaned back, looking at the man sitting next to her leaning against the window of the plane, writing a battle report, in a daze.

After flying for a while, the night gradually darkened.

The man's eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the shadows, as thick as ink.

Xiao Xiao listened to the rustling sound of the pen scratching on the paper. She felt a little sleepy, but was reluctant to sleep.

I spent two days and one night in the jungle, rarely closing my eyes, relying entirely on my willpower to keep going.

Now that I'm relaxed, I just want to have a good sleep, but when my eyes fall on the man opposite me, I always subconsciously stay on him and can't bear to look away.

He hadn't changed much, except for a few more stars on his shoulders.

Two bars and three stars, the youngest deputy division commander of an air force group, colonel.

The gap between them seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

How much more effort will it take to catch up with her, she thought to herself.

The staff officer next to her saw that she was staring at Commander Gu, coughed, and reminded her, "Captain Xiao, do you want to take a break? This combat mission lasted a long time. You haven't had much rest since you left the battle zone. You are not made of iron. It will take some time for you to reach the Southern Military Region."

Xiao Xiao came back to her senses and was about to thank him for his kindness, but she ran straight into the eyes of the man opposite who happened to look up.

The man looked at her for a moment, then lowered his head to continue writing the report, and said in a very calm voice, "Go to sleep."

Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Although her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were still trembling, and she looked at the man opposite her openly through the tiny gap in her eyes.

Two hours later, the transport plane landed at the Air Force Group Army's hangar base.

The man got off the plane first and reported to the Air Force Command.

Xiao Xiao stood on the gangway, watching his tall figure disappear into the night, and raised her hand to rub her tired brows.

After Gu Canyang reported the details of the incident at the group army headquarters, he handed over his own combat report as well as the combat reports submitted by the Construction Corps and the Luzhong Corps to Chu Zhan.

"This mission was completed perfectly and efficiently. Canyang, you should go back and have a good rest first." Chu Zhan looked at the combat report in his hand and nodded.

After all, the Construction Corps and the Luzhong Corps are old corps stationed on the border. They are quick to respond and have strong combat effectiveness. No wonder that kid Adai seemed like a different person after coming out of the Construction Corps, with murderous blood all over his body.

It's a good place to hone people and cultivate many wolf cubs. It's a pity that the unpromising boy in his family only wants to be a clerk.

Chu Zhan looked at Gu Canyang's cold back as he left and couldn't help but sigh.

When Chu Zhao comes back, I must find a reason to beat him up.

Gu Canyang returned to the cadre building assigned to him by the group army. The sentry standing guard with a gun saw him standing at attention and saluted, "Hello, Chief."

He paused, returned the military salute, and walked in at a leisurely pace.

After entering the yard, I vaguely saw a person sitting in front of a stone table.

Xiao Xiao held a bottle of wine in her hand and waved it at him, "Are you going on a mission tomorrow?"

The man stood five steps away from her, his dark pupils expressionless.

When Xiao Xiao thought he would not answer, a dull voice came from the cold wind.

"take a vacation."

She casually put her wind-blown short hair behind her ears and said with a smile, "Have a drink."

"I don't drink." said Gu Canyang.

After a while, the two of them sat in the night against the cold wind. Xiao Xiao drank one cup after another, while the man stood still, his expression as usual.

"Aren't you going to ask about the military exploits I've made in the Luzhong Corps in the past two years?" She laughed heartily. "I'm very capable, just a little bit worse than you. Well, maybe a lot worse. But I'll be able to be promoted to a higher rank soon." She was already a little tipsy.

"You are no worse than anyone else." The man curled his lips slightly. "Congratulations."

The Canyang chapter ends.

Chapter 303: Prosperity and Prosperity·Extra·Qinglie Chapter Previous Chapter Contents Next Chapter  In the spring of 1981, everything came back to life.

The weather in Nanyang is good recently, so you only need to wear a thin shirt.

Gu Qinglie got up early in the morning to do morning exercises, and brought back breakfast from the flight crew kitchen on the way, holding the freshly delivered milk in his hand.

"Why do you wash your winter clothes now? You will be afraid of the cold when the weather gets colder in a while." As soon as I entered the yard, I saw his sister hanging clothes.

"Mine are not washed, so they are yours." Gu Qingqing glared at him. "Your cold weather clothes are piled on the chair without being worn. I'll wash them for you and put them in the closet."

Gu Qinglie is a hot-tempered man who is not afraid of cold. He often runs around outside in the middle of winter wearing short sleeves with his strong arms showing, and he never catches a cold.

It's really strange.

However, Gu Qinglie always proudly said that he had good physical fitness.

Gu Qinglie grinned, "Okay, Tuan Tuan and the others will wake up soon. I'll take a day off today and send them to school later."

"It's just a few steps away and you have to send me off," Gu Qingqing was a little speechless, "Just get used to it."

The primary school for military personnel is run by the military district, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk from here.

"By the way." Seeing him smiling foolishly and walking into the living room, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you get your breakfast in the field army cafeteria?"

Knowing that she was going to ask about the female comrade in the Armed Forces Department again, Gu Qinglie shook his head and said, "No, it's the Air Crew Kitchen. Jiaojiao said yesterday that he wanted to eat beef meatballs, and only the Air Crew Kitchen can provide them."

Gu Qingqing shook the clothes in her hands and teased, "Then why don't you eat at home at noon?"

Gu Qinglie was rarely a little embarrassed. "Yes, why don't you come with me to the cafeteria? The kids know how to go to the cafeteria after school."

"I'll think about it." Gu Qingqing also wanted to see what the girl from the armed forces department looked like.

Nowadays, the family rarely cooks. The men eat in the canteen, and the children have to look for food everywhere, unless she is on vacation.

It's a rare opportunity that I meet Goudan on vacation today.

Tuan Tuan sat at the dining table obediently to eat, while Xiao Xingxing and Jiaojiao sat at the coffee table with their small stools.

Encouraged by their grandfather, the two older ones started reading newspapers, while the younger one was still watching TV.

Gu Qinglie didn't eat breakfast either. He ate with them and heated up the milk for them.

"Uncle will take you to school today."

Tuantuan put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Uncle."

"What's the matter?" Gu Qinglie touched a piece of red bean cake brought back by the flight crew kitchen, smacked his lips, and felt that Gousheng and the others were treated better.

"I haven't eaten the red bean pastry yet." His eyes fell on the pastry in his uncle's hand, feeling a little aggrieved.

Gu Qinglie laughed dryly, handed over the remaining half of the red bean cake, and asked carefully, "You don't dislike your uncle, do you?"

At noon, Gu Qingqing was dragged by Gu Qinglie to the field army canteen for lunch. They came early today and the soldiers had not yet finished their mission.

There were not many people in the cafeteria and the seats were spacious.

He knew the girl's taste, so he took a stainless steel plate to get the food and also filled two bowls of seaweed egg drop soup.

Gu Qingqing found a seat against the wall and sat down. She looked around but didn't find her target.

The man came over steadily, holding a plate in one hand. "Why are you sitting in the corner?"

"Suitable for observation." She stood up and helped her brother take the plate down. "When will the armed forces come to the cafeteria?"

It depends on the unit, and usually they come in different time periods.

"It's almost time," Gu Qinglie sat down opposite her and looked at the time. "There are still ten minutes left."

As he spoke, he showed his big white teeth, "I didn't expect that our Qingqing has the potential to be a scout."

Gu Qingqing glanced at him and pushed the plate over to him. "Eat quickly. I have to go to the museum this afternoon."

"You are busier than the rest of us." Goudan grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling "Do you want me to take you there?"

"No, I can go there by bike." She broke open the steamed bun and took some pickles. "I'll go back to celebrate the New Year this year."

Gu Jin and Shi Rushuang returned to Yancheng a while ago. This place is close to the sea and the humidity is high, so it would be very uncomfortable if you get rheumatism.

They couldn't stay any longer, so Chu Dai drove his father-in-law and mother-in-law back home personally.

"Go back, my eldest brother should go back too." Now that they have been promoted to higher positions, their vacation time is longer than before.

"Okay then." Gu Qingqing nodded and said nothing more.

A female soldier nearby couldn't help laughing when she heard what the brother and sister said.

It hasn’t been long since the Chinese New Year and they are already discussing going back to their hometown for the next New Year.

Zhizhi saw a familiar person and she stood up and waved, "Here."

Lin Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, then walked over with the plate and sat down next to her.

Goudan, who was originally talking to Gu Qingqing, suddenly fell silent, and his movements of eating steamed buns became much more polite.

Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked towards the table next to her.

There are two female soldiers, and the one who just arrived should be Goudan’s sweetheart.

She was embarrassed to keep staring at him and could only glance at him from time to time.

After seeing it clearly, it really meets Goudan's criteria for finding a partner.

Gentle, petite, and seemingly a little reserved.

She couldn't help but kick Goudan under the table and whispered, "Does the girl have a boyfriend?"

"That's definitely not the case," Gu Qinglie scratched his head, "I asked someone from the Armed Forces Department to find out for me."

Gu Qingqing nodded and said, "Then why don't you take the initiative to sneak a peek in the cafeteria every day or walk by her when you're getting your food?"

Being despised by the girl, Gu Qinglie was not angry. He put down his chopsticks and rubbed his hands. "Why don't you teach me how to chase girls and you chase people?"

At the end, he couldn't say any more, "Forget it."

As for his sister's way of pursuing people, in the end, she didn't believe him at all.

If Lao Chu hadn't liked her in the first place, she would probably be single like him now.

"What are you thinking about? Stop scratching your head." Gu Qingqing was furious. "She's such a good-looking girl. Who knows, she might be dating someone else someday. Then you can cry."

"Don't cry in front of me, go find your superiors and cry in the cadre building."

Gu Qinglie was not the type to be hesitant, and provoked by her, he suddenly stood up with a "clang".

The table was pushed forward a little by him.

Gu Qingqing was startled, and after she realized what was happening, she gave him a cold look.

The female soldier next to her was also frightened by the noise and stared sideways at this side in a daze.

Gu Qinglie met those innocent eyes, mustered up his courage, strode over and stood beside Lin Zhi.

"Hello, comrade." He took a deep breath, and then said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "I am Gu Qinglie, the commander of the 8th Regiment of the 9th Division of the Field Army. I have liked you for a long time. Would you like to date me?"

Gu Qingqing burst out laughing, and when her brother turned his head subconsciously, she gave him a thumbs up.

Sure, Goudan.

It was the female soldier next to Lin Zhi who came to her senses first. She quickly nudged the girl who had not yet reacted with her elbow.

"You are the tall guy with a cute smile she mentioned. She is willing. She is willing."

Gu Qingqing almost spit out the seaweed soup after taking a sip.

Goudan is so cute when he smiles.

Lin Zhi also came to her senses at this moment. She blushed from her neck to her cheeks.

The female soldier let out an "ah", and looking at her shy look, you could tell what her sister was thinking.

The female soldiers in the army are enthusiastic, cheerful and courageous, and they often dare to tease the male soldiers.

Yuyu was not to be outdone and continued to ask, "Captain Gu, you said you have liked our Zhizhi for a long time. When did you start liking her?"

"The first time in the cafeteria, I accidentally bumped into her plate," Gu Qinglie scratched the back of his neck again, "and she told me very gently that it was okay."

Lin Zhi was also deeply impressed when he talked about this matter.

She had just picked up two steamed buns at the time and was knocked down by him when she turned around. He picked up the buns, dusted them off and ate them, then made another portion for her.

Yuyu looked at her best sister suspiciously and asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

Gu Qingqing next to her nodded repeatedly. She had never heard Goudan mention it either.

Lin Zhi blushed and said, "I forgot."

Yuyu didn't believe what she said. "Then are you willing to agree to Comrade Gu's request?"

"I want to think about it," she said in a whisper, "Is that okay?"

"Of course you can." Gu Qinglie also felt his face getting hot. "Comrade Lin Zhi, take your time to think about it. There's no rush."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "I'll come to the cafeteria to eat in the evening."

Halfway through the journey, Gu Qingqing finally couldn't hold it in anymore and held onto a tree branch beside her, laughing so hard that she was out of breath.

"Comrade Lin Zhi, take your time to think about it. There's no rush." She repeated, and then said in a teasing tone, "I'll come to the cafeteria to eat in the evening."

"I see you're quite anxious, Comrade Gu Qinglie."

Goudan was as thick-skinned as a military defense in front of her. He rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "An afternoon is not a short time, is it?"

"Yes, it's really not short." Gu Qingqing's eyes curved into crescents. "You have only been hesitating about whether to express your feelings to her for a month or two."

Hearing the mockery in her words, Gu Qinglie looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.

The brother and sister returned to the military family compound, one took a nap and the other rode a bicycle to the museum.

When Gu Qingqing came back in the evening, she saw her dog smiling.

"My dear, from today on, your brother and I have a partner."

Gu Qinglie's happiness was written all over his face, and if there wasn't someone outside, he would have jumped up.

The man grinned and helped her push the bicycle into the yard.

Gu Qingqing also smiled and said, "Congratulations, did you bring me food?"

"I've brought it, but you're still going to let my sister starve?" Gu Qinglie put down his leg brace and showed two small tiger teeth. "Old Chu hasn't come back yet. I don't know if Big Brother will come over tonight. I have to tell them the good news."

"Okay, okay," Gu Qingqing reminded him, "Let's pay attention to personal hygiene in the future. Girls don't like sloppy men who stink of sweat."

"No." Gu Qinglie raised his arm and sniffed it. "I took a shower yesterday. Now I take a shower every two days. How can it smell bad?"

"Anyway, you just need to be careful." Gu Qingqing walked into the living room, took off her bag and put it on the sofa. "The kids are still having fun outside."

"I'll go get them back." Gu Qinglie rubbed his hands and walked with a breeze. "I've heated up the food for you. There's a big chicken drumstick. Remember to eat it."

Gu Qingqing was happy. "Please continue to follow this food standard next time. Thank you."

"I do think," the man's voice at the door faded away and was lost in the wind, "the quartermaster is not happy. He is as stingy as Lao Yu."

The Qinglie chapter ends.

Chapter 304: Prosperity - Finale Previous Chapter Contents To be continued…  Chu Yan grew up in a military families' home, and most of his friends are children of military personnel.

Well, we haven’t gotten together for a long time, so the brothers arranged a gathering and invited him to have a meal together to keep in touch.

The thin and handsome man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city night view, with a black cell phone turning at his fingertips.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and opened WeChat, pressed the voice button and said something in the group: "Next time, I haven't seen my grandma for a long time, I have to go back to see her."

After saying that, he put away his phone.

Grabbing the suit jacket on the sofa, the man left the office and took the special elevator to the underground garage.

Although grandpa and dad are both soldiers, they don't have many requirements for them, the younger generation. They can do whatever they want and just ask if they need help from family.

He has a close relationship with his elders and is not as introverted as other people who are not good at expressing their feelings.

When he gets home, he will say, "Dad, I miss you."

Chu Lueying would give him a bear hug and say, "My dear, Dad misses you too. Next time you come back, bring your dad a pack of better cigarettes. Don't let your mom find out."

Thinking of things at home, he subconsciously curled the corners of his lips, went to the garage, and walked straight to the blue Lamborghini.

He set up his own company and listed it two years ago. He usually deals with people from the government’s Land and Resources Bureau and has been a bit busy recently.

I rarely go back to see my grandparents.

He got in the car, put his slender fingers on the steering wheel, and drove out of the basement.

This is a bustling urban area with heavy traffic outside. Even after the rush hour, there is no traffic jam.

Taking advantage of the break in the traffic light, he took out his cell phone and checked it. It was already half past eight.

There was also a message from his brother -

"I'm going back to the old house today."

Without thinking much, he replied: See you at the old house.

The light turned green again and the man drove the car.

I arrived at the door of a flower shop, parked the car, and pushed the door open.

"Boss, give me a bunch of chrysanthemums." The man said in a clear voice.

"Okay, wait a moment." The boss was already familiar with him. This young man came to buy a bouquet of flowers every few days, from roses, roses, to sunflowers, and he wanted something different each time.

After wrapping the flowers, she handed them to him: "One hundred and fifty-eight."

The man nodded and opened WeChat to scan the code.

Hearing the sound of payment being received, the boss smiled even more and couldn't help asking, "Is this for your girlfriend?"

"This is for my grandma." He smiled, with two shallow dimples on his lips. "The old lady likes flowers."

"Ah," the boss smiled more sincerely, "I wish the old man good health and longevity."

"Thanks."

After getting in the car, Chu Yan placed the flowers on the passenger seat and steered towards the overpass.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the gate of the family compound.

At the door, there was a handsome figure leaning against a Hummer smoking, and the flickering scarlet light was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

Chu Yan lowered the car window and stuck his head out: "Brother, why don't you go in?"

"Waiting for you." The man said briefly.

Chu Yan touched his nose and said, "Okay."

His elder brother is the eldest son of his uncle Chu Jinghong and the eldest grandson of the Chu family.

His personality is very similar to his third uncle Chu Xinglan and his great uncle.

The sentry recognized their car and let them pass.

After entering the yard and parking the car, the two brothers each took a bouquet of flowers from the car. He bought ping-pong chrysanthemums and Chu Qi bought tulips.

After entering the yard, I found that there was no one in the living room, only a ray of light pouring out from outside the study door.

Chu Yan knocked on the door: "Grandpa, are you in there?"

"Yes," a gentle man's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Chu Yan pushed the door open and looked around. Only Chu Dai was sitting at the desk writing.

He was a little disappointed: "Where's my grandma?"

"Let's go square dancing." The man put down his brush and motioned for them to sit down.

Chu Yan sat down directly. His family didn’t care much about these superficial things. Their respect for their elders came from the heart.

Chu Qi also pulled out a chair and sat down.

Seeing the flowers in their hands, Chu Dai asked with a smile: "Did you come back specially to see your grandma?"

"No," Chu Yan, like his father, inherited his second uncle's temperament and was eloquent: "It's been too long since I came back. I miss you and my grandma."

"Oh, your grandma has flowers, what about me?"

Chu Qi took out a tin box from somewhere, put it on the desk, and pushed it in front of him: "White Rabbit Milk Candy, for you."

Chu Dai still keeps a piece of candy in his pocket and eats one from time to time, but with a health doctor watching him, he doesn't eat as much as before.

Only one occasionally.

There was a rabbit painted on the tin box, with familiar words next to it.

Chu Dai smiled, opened the box, peeled one and ate it, and gave the rest to the two brothers.

Chu Yan grabbed a handful and ate them one by one, and asked curiously: "Grandpa, how did you meet grandma back then?"

No matter how you think about it, his grandpa and grandma are not even remotely related.

One is the son of the commander of the Southern Military Region, and the other is the daughter of the captain of the Yancheng Production Team. Not to mention anything else, the distance between them in terms of place alone is huge.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never heard anyone tell about his grandparents' love story.

He was born in the Luzhong Corps, and later moved to the Southern Military Region. Not long after, he followed his father to the Eastern Military Region. When he was about to graduate from high school, Chu Liuying was transferred to the capital.

His grandparents were transferred to the capital from Nanyang after his third uncle and aunt graduated from university.

When he was a child, he could only see his grandparents during the holidays, but for some reason, he was particularly close to his grandmother.

Maybe it’s because grandma is always smiling, she doesn’t seem like an elder but more like a friend.

And grandpa, although he holds a high position, treats them like his peers. He asks them about their ideals, future plans, and gives them advice when appropriate.

The two elders are their strong backing and support. When he was about to graduate from university, he was confused for a while. At that time, he directly booked a plane ticket to the capital and stayed with his grandparents for a few days.

His grandmother made delicious food for him every day, and his grandfather talked with him all night long, guiding him patiently.

Here, his heart was completely at peace.

There was no pressure from his family and he could do what he liked.

Thinking of the past, Chu Dai held back his smile: "...Back then, your grandmother saw a photo of me. She had never been far away before, but she took a green train north alone for a day and a night, lying on your second uncle's body, saying that she was looking for a partner."

Chu Yan looked incredulous: "My grandma was so brave back then?"

Chu Qi also looked at his grandfather.

“Yes,” the man laughed, “your grandmother is the bravest girl I have ever met.”

Chu Yan chatted with his grandfather for a while, and Chu Qi listened quietly beside him. He would only say a word or two when Chu Dai asked him questions. Compared to his talkative brother, he was too quiet.

Looking at the time, Chu Dai rubbed his wrist and said, "It's half past nine. Let's go pick up your grandma."

Chu Yan was naturally willing. Looking at the flowers on the chair next to him, he asked, "Do you want to take this?"

"Take it with you." The man's eyebrows softened: "She will be very happy."

The two grandchildren followed their grandfather out of the study.

Chu Dai has a full-time driver, but at Chu Yan's strong recommendation, he still got into the blue sports car.

Chu Qi didn't want to squeeze in at the back, so he got on his Hummer as he was tall and had long legs.

The two cars went out one after the other. Because Chu Yan said he wanted to enjoy the refreshing summer evening breeze, he retracted the roof of the carport and drove his grandfather out of the family compound in the convertible sports car.

The sentry at the door was stunned at first, but after seeing who was in the car, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.

I feel a little confused.

This... Chief... This...

Chu Yan was still very considerate and drove very slowly.

Mainly because of the speed limit.

Chu Qi followed behind, looking at the back of his grandfather and brother's heads, and felt a little headache.

The place where Gu Qingqing danced square dance was a bit far from the military family compound, and it took half an hour to drive there.

After dinner every day, she would go to the People's Square with the grandmothers in the military family compound. After dancing, they would go shopping in the mall to buy some clothes and accessories.

The old lady loves beauty very much.

Chu Yan felt that it was probably because of his grandfather and three uncles who spoiled his grandmother. They all loved buying jewelry for her.

Later, when his father, uncles, and aunts grew up, they also inherited this fine tradition. Every time they went home to see the old lady, they would take her shopping in the mall and help her carry her bags and pay for her.

The People's Square is very lively. There are parents bringing their children to play, and couples walking hand in hand beside the musical fountain. The old ladies have a special place to dance in the square. It is not next to residential areas and will not disturb others.

There was a pedestrian street inside, and the car couldn't drive in, so they found a place to park. Chu Yan unbuckled his seat belt, turned his head and glanced at Ping Pong Ju in the back seat, and suddenly said, "Grandpa."

Chu Dai looked at him with a smile, a questioning look in his eyes.

"My brother and I bought flowers, do you have to..." He gave a 'you know' expression.

Chu Dai understood, unbuckled his seat belt, and said, "You go first, I'll come later."

Watching his grandfather walk towards the store, Chu Qi also got out of the car and asked his brother, "What idea have you come up with?"

"Just a reminder." Chu Yan smiled, holding the flowers in his left hand and holding his shoulder with his right hand as he walked towards the square dance: "Let's go find grandma first to see if the old lady is tired from dancing and take her out for a midnight snack."

Chu Qi did not refuse.

The appearance of the two handsome guys immediately attracted everyone's attention. The reason was that although these two brothers were not biological brothers, they looked too similar.

Like twins.

Gu Qingqing was so absorbed in dancing Little Apple that she didn't notice them.

Chu Yan called out several times, but she didn't hear him, so he raised his voice again: "Grandma! Ms. Gu!! Old lady!!!"

This time Gu Qingqing heard it, she ran over angrily and grabbed his ear: "Who are you calling old lady? There is no old lady here?!"

"Yes, yes, they are all beauties." Chu Yan grinned: "It hurts, can you be a little gentler?"

Only then did Gu Qingqing let him go.

She was also a little tired, so she sat down beside the flower bed. Chu Qi handed her the flowers and unscrewed the lid of the thermos for her.

Gu Qingqing held the flowers in one hand, took a big gulp of water from the thermos, and sighed, "Our eldest grandson is still very considerate."

Chu Yan smiled and brought the Ping Pong Ju on his back to her and shook it: "Is your second grandson not considerate?"

"It's okay." Although he said that, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he took the flowers.

During the dance, a beautiful lady came over to ask, she put the flowers aside, nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, my grandson. He looks okay, but not as good as their grandfather. I don't know why their two fathers look like this, they look more and more like my second brother."

She caught a glimpse of a man walking slowly towards her from the corner of her eye, and was slightly stunned.

In Chu Dai's hand was a bunch of fiery red roses, so gorgeous and tempting.

Stopping in front of her, the man lowered his eyes and asked with a smile: "Are you tired?"

Gu Qingqing looked up at him blankly and forgot to respond.

The man smiled gently, holding the flowers, and stretched out his hand to her: "Let's go home, okay?"
