Chapter 358 Entering Military Training

Bonnie put the property certificate into the small box. This was the third property certificate she had received, and she felt very satisfied.

The rent for the small courtyard that I rented out before has gone up again; it's five yuan a month now.

This house has six main rooms and four side rooms that can be rented out, bringing in several tens of dollars a month. It's a steady stream of income, and better days are ahead.

"We ordinary folks are really, really happy tonight!"

We ordinary folks are really, really happy tonight! (roar)

We ordinary people are happy, very happy…

Bonnie hummed these few lines of lyrics, but those were all she could remember. She couldn't recall the song's name or who sang it.

Humming a song, Bonnie took out a goose, planning to make sauerkraut stewed goose and cornbread for dinner.

The goose was thawing, and Bonnie took out some wood ear mushrooms to soak, made a plate of dried shrimp that her mother had sent, and stir-fried a plate of peanuts.

Bonnie has already prepared the menu; all she has to do is wait for the family's chefs to come home and cook.

When Gu Ye returned, Bao Ni had already chopped up the goose and cut the sauerkraut; all the preliminary work was ready.

"Why are you back so early today? I just chopped up a goose and was thinking of cooking it with Panax notoginseng."

"There wasn't much going on in the team today, so I went out to run some errands and came straight back."

As Gu Ye spoke, he changed his clothes and prepared to go into the kitchen to cook.

"Wow, what day is it today? So many delicious dishes! Did you transfer the house title?"

Gu Ye looked at the bowl of chopped goose meat, soaked wood ear mushrooms, and dried shrimp...

"We're on the same wavelength! Everything went smoothly today, and we got the property certificate."

Next spring, I'll renovate the house and then I can rent it out.

The thought of earning another few dozen yuan a month makes me happy, and I want to celebrate.

Gu Ye looked at his somewhat money-grubbing wife; as long as she was happy, he was happy too.

Liu Jiu and her friends went to another ice rink today, but they ended up running into a bunch of lunatics.

We had a lot of fun, but we got back a little late.

"Sis, can you smell it? It's stewed goose. Dad's back."

"How do you know it's our family's? Maybe it's someone else's."

Gu Xuanyi: I smelled the fragrance, but I'm not sure which house it came from.

"In our whole building, who else is like my mom, always telling us to cook delicious food?"

Gu Xuanyi thought about it and realized it made sense. After the snow, his second aunt had been cooking delicious food every few days, with chicken, duck, fish and meat being served almost constantly. His brother said that he had grown taller again because he was eating too well.

As I pushed open the door, the fragrance became even stronger.

"Dad, did you stew a goose?"

Liu Jiu entered the house first, ran to the kitchen, where her father was cooking and her mother was sitting beside him.

"Okay, I'll make you something nice to eat, you won't be able to get any there."

Gu Ye had already spoken with the political commissar and sent the children to intensive training, paying for their meals himself.

"Why?"

Sanqi had a strong premonition that his father was about to face his own troubles.

"I've found a training camp for you, for twenty days, just in time for the Chinese New Year."

Especially Xuanyu and the other two, regardless of whether you join the military or not, you must pass the physical fitness test.

We also need to cultivate perseverance and willpower so that we won't easily abandon our principles and make mistakes in the future.

The three boys looked at each other and had no reason to object.

She didn't care about 69; she was actually quite looking forward to it.

In the evening, a big pot of sauerkraut stewed with goose and a circle of cornbread were eaten clean.

Bonnie watched the four children clearing the table. They had such good appetites; most families couldn't afford to feed them. Her sister-in-law's money on food hadn't been wasted; look how strong and healthy her two eldest sons were.

Two days later, the four children packed their things and went to training camp with Gu Ye.

Mu Nanfang went to the ice rink for two days in a row but didn't see the little black girl. He then went to look for Han Bei. He must know something.

"Mu Nanfang, what brings you here?"

Han Bei saw Mu Nanfang standing with his cousin and wondered why he wanted to see him.

"Han Bei, what's the name of that little dark-skinned girl I fought with the other day? Where can I find her?"

"What are you doing? You want revenge or something?"

Han Bei thought it was unlikely; they were all children of military personnel and knew the rules.

"What do you take me for, Mu Nanfang? That article is long gone. I just want to have a friendly competition with her."

Han Bei thought about Liu Jiu's fighting strength and might want to spar with Mu Nanfang.

"Let me ask. I've been out these past few days and haven't seen any of them."

Han Bei went to his maternal grandmother's house for the past few days and only returned today.

"Hello, Aunt Gu, I'm looking for Liu Jiu." Han Bei dialed Liu Jiu's number.

"Okay, I understand. Goodbye, Aunt Gu."

"So, has she come out?"

Mu Nanfang was very anxious; he had been searching for several days.

"Liu Jiu isn't home. Liu Jiu is the girl you fought with, her name is Gu Yun Chu."

Han Bei recalled that Mu Nanfang didn't even know who Liu Jiu was.

"He's not home. Where did he go? When is he coming back?"

Mu Nanfang's series of questions left Han Bei unsure which to answer first.

"Liu Jiu went to her father's military unit for training yesterday and won't be back until before the Lunar New Year."

Han Bei truly admired the Gu family's children; they were incredibly persevering, especially Liu Jiu, who never missed a morning exercise session, rain or shine.

"Where is her father's unit?"

Mu Nanfang, determined to get to the bottom of things, found the girl in a hurry.

"Her father is Brigade Commander Gu, from our special forces unit."

Han Bei, being a good person to the end, gave him a clear explanation.

"Thank you, I understand. I'll head back now. Goodbye."

Mu Nanfang left dejectedly, completely forgetting about Han Bei's cousin who had brought him.
