Chapter 162: All is well

The two brothers, who get enough sleep during the day, are full of energy at night, so Gu Qingqing doesn't need to take care of them much on weekdays.

Her husband and brother were worried that she would not recover well after giving birth, so they let her rest early in the evening. The two men walked around upstairs, coaxing the child.

Today, Gu Qinglie was hugged by his brothers and couldn't get away. Shen Sui had gone out to deliver steamed buns and hadn't come back yet. Gu Qingqing didn't know how many times she had turned around, and the little guy in her arms finally calmed down and gnawed his fingers.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that the girl in the man's arms had already obediently come down, she asked in surprise: "Brother, have you found some secret?"

"No." The man smiled faintly, his long legs hooked over a chair, and nodded his chin to signal her to sit down: "Thank you for giving me face today."

Gu Qingqing couldn't help but smile. She sat on the chair beside her and didn't feel that strenuous with her little son on her knees.

She patted her son's blanket gently with her palm and looked carefully at Nian Nian's features, but couldn't tell who he looked like.

Brother Zhao said that the baby is only a month old and has not grown up yet. In a few months, the features will become clear. Now they are so ugly that they look like they were carved from the same mold.

If you think about it carefully, when Xiaoyuer was born, he was also a wrinkled ball with a red face and no eyebrows. Now he has handsome features and looks a lot like Xu Nian.

I heard that a son who looks like his mother is blessed, but I wonder who these two little guys will look like when they grow up.

The couple was one standing and the other sitting, Chu Dai's long legs were right next to the woman's arms. Every time she patted the son in her arms, her elbow would hit the man's legs, and he would lower his eyes to look at his wife and little son.

The noise outside was still going on. The man who had been taking care of his nephews to sleep was now drunk and had forgotten all about it. He just kept blowing the gun he had hit before, looking very proud.

Gu Qingqing suddenly asked: "Brother, are all the injuries on your body caused by the Corps?"

"No." The man's nose was filled with the milky scent of his eldest son, and his voice was low, "He also fought in the southern military region."

Gu Qingqing felt a lump in her throat and said nothing more.

The room was far from quiet as the noise outside could be heard, but Gu Qingqing could always hear his light breathing in her ears. She couldn't help but look up at him, and met the man's smiling eyes.

She turned her face away embarrassedly. Even after a year of marriage, she still blushed and her heart beat fast when she looked at him.

I don’t know why.

Maybe it was because I liked him that when I first saw his photo, I ran to the border town thousands of miles away without looking back.

She sighed inwardly, and even planned to ask her brother and younger brother to take care of the child at night, but now it seemed that this was not going to happen.

After half an hour, the men finally stopped. Gu Qinglie and Zhao Ze hurried them back home. Before entering the house, they took out a red envelope from their pockets and gave it to Zhao Ze and Gu Qinglie.

"For my nephew Xiaoyuer and two nephews... burp." Chen Jiefang felt dizzy and his head felt heavy as if he was walking on clouds. He fell over the fence to the side.

Gu Qinglie looked at the sharp bamboo fence at the top and quickly pulled the man back: "You said you were drunk, but you remembered to give Hongfeng. You said you were not drunk, but you almost lost your life on the battlefield. How embarrassing."

Zhao Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him bring the man back. He pushed his glasses and said, "Fortunately nothing happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be accredited as a martyr, and would be laughed at if the news was reported back to the Corps."

"That's right." Gu Qinglie pushed Chen Jiefang into the house. The door was not locked and opened as soon as he pushed it.

I threw him on the bed and threw the blanket over him. He clapped his hands and said, "Come on, you are not drunk, are you? Let's go home and celebrate the New Year together. Otherwise, no one will talk to me."

"Of course." After sending the last Chen Jiefang home, Zhao Ze also felt relieved. He said, "My wife and son are all with you. I have to go back with you."

Gu Qinglie put his arm around his shoulders and grinned, "Let's go home."

The sea breeze was chilly at night and penetrated into my bones.

Two shadows were elongated by the moonlight and fell on the soft white sand at feet.

Gu Qinglie was only wearing a thin blue cotton dress, which was made by his sister and Xiao Huanniang. It was very comfortable and fit him well.

The tall man stood straight, like Hu Yang in the desert. Zhao Ze next to him was shivering from the cold.

As a military doctor, his physical condition is much better than that of ordinary people, but it is still far behind these warriors who spend all day in the mountains and forests.

Gu Qinglie moved forward slightly to block the wind for him, and shook his head and said, "Old Zhao, this won't work. If you leave the regiment, you will be at a disadvantage."

Zhao Ze muttered, "Who is like you, as strong as a bear?"

"Hmm?" Gu Qinglie's eyebrows almost flew up to the sky: "The body is the capital of the revolution, you should stop thinking about how to pull the knife all day long and exercise. Otherwise, how about doing morning exercise with me tomorrow morning?"

Zhao Ze waved his hands: "I still have to take care of my wife and children. Who would want to go around the island with you before dawn in such a cold weather? Just call me brother-in-law."

"Okay, okay." Gu Qinglie waved his hands and stopped talking to him.

It's a great thing to have a wife and a son.

whispering sound.

Back at the last yard, Chu Dai and Gu Qingqing sat by the stove in the living room, each holding a baby. The other two women were still chatting about what the children could usually eat.

"Also be careful about overnutrition. The fish and shrimp on our island are high in calcium and protein. Don't feed shrimp paste and fish paste to babies often." Yang Xin said as she glanced at the two men who had returned.

Gu Qingqing understood what she meant and asked her second brother: "Did Brother Jiefang send him back?"

"Yeah, I almost fell on the fence." Gu Qinglie pulled out a chair and sat down. He was cold, so he didn't sit next to Gu Qingqing and Chu Dai. He wanted to wait until he was a little warmer before hugging his little nephew.

"Is he okay?!" Yang Xin paused while cracking melon seeds. He was obviously nervous and couldn't help but worry.

"It's okay, old man, we've got it." Zhao Ze also sat down and warmed his hands by the fire before pinching his son's little face.

"That's not bad." Yang Xin was still a little frightened, and in a blink of an eye, he met the teasing gazes of the two women.

Because there were men present, Gu Qingqing did not tease her, but just teased her little son in her arms. It felt wonderful to have her fingers held by his little hands.

The fire was warm, and they sat around it to celebrate the New Year. Gu Qingqing and Xu Nian talked about things on the island.

After Gu Qinglie and the others left, Zhang Ta and his group of kids came to visit. Each of them took two candies and some melon seeds and peanuts. Gu Qingqing secretly stuffed a red envelope with two cents in it into Zhang Ta and Xiao Huan's pockets as a New Year's gift.

Zhang Ta was a smart man. When Xiao Huan couldn't help showing off to his friends, he covered her mouth, shook his head and said, "Just go back and tell your mother. Don't tell anyone else."

Xiao Huan was a little confused, but still listened to the boss.

The men were also talking about things on the island. Gu Qinglie did not interrupt them. He just listened to Chu Dai and Zhao Ze quietly.

When the coldness on his body had almost dissipated, he took his nephew from Gu Qingqing's arms and said, "Sister, go make a cup of hot tea for the brothers."

The little fellow in his hand looked at him with his dark eyes. Gu Qinglie bared his teeth at him and said, "I'm telling you, today is New Year's Day, don't pee on your uncle's pants, or I'll spank you."

Niannian just stared at him, smacking her fingers.

Gu Qingqing went to the kitchen and made a cup of tea for each of them, adding two slices of ginger.

I took the hot tea handed to me by the girl with one hand, blew on it, and took two sips, and my heart warmed up.

My legs also warmed up.

Warm liquid dripped down, Gu Qinglie's body stiffened. He put the enamel cup in his hand on the table beside him and lifted the blanket to take a look at his nephew.

"I peed." He twitched his lips and looked sideways at the woman who had just sat down. "You need to change your clothes too."

I don’t know what this baby ate. His pee was so big that it soaked the quilt.

Chu Dai took a look and couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Ze was also delighted: "Boy's urine, a good sign, old man. If you don't say he is my nephew, it means he is thinking about you, my uncle."

"This is a good sign. Let your son take a dip in your water too." Gu Qinglie rolled his eyes.

Gu Qingqing looked at his dripping pants and frowned, "Give me Nian Nian and go change your pants first."

Gu Qinglie nodded, "Let me carry you in."

"Okay." Gu Qingqing hurried into the room, found clean clothes and a blanket from the closet, and took out a diaper.

She lifted the stove and said, "Just put it in the basket."

Gu Qinglie had already unwrapped his nephew. "I'm going to change my pants first. You should change his pants quickly or he'll catch a cold."

"I know." Seeing her brother go out and close the door, she hurriedly unbuttoned the child's jumper, took off her small underwear, and sat down on the bed with Niannian in her arms.

The little guy in her arms waved his hands and babbled. She whispered softly, "My dear baby, I'm changing your clothes for you. They're knitted by grandma herself. They're so warm. When I was little, I also wore clothes knitted by grandma."

"It's our little good boy who peed on his pants again today! Don't pee again later, my clothes haven't even dried yet, and I don't have any pants to change into."

Gu Qingqing quickly put clothes on her son, and her heart was filled with tenderness when she saw how well behaved he was.

"In another year, Daddy will take us home. We will be able to see Grandpa when we return to the military area. Then we can go to Yancheng to visit Grandpa, Grandma and the two grandparents, okay, little darling."

Not sure if the kid could understand, she wrapped the child in a blanket, leaned over and rubbed his little face, kissing him -

"Grow up quickly and protect your country like your father and two uncles, okay? If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement."

She rubbed her son's nose with her finger, and when she saw him grinning, she became excited too: "Do you really want to join the army? Actually, it's okay if you don't want to. Your father said that whatever choice you make in the future is up to you. Daddy and mommy will always be behind you, little darling."

The little boy stuffed his fingers into his mouth again because he was wrapped in a blanket and couldn't kick his feet.

After changing his clothes, Gu Qingqing carried him out to celebrate the New Year.

Gu Qinglie, who came downstairs, took out a red envelope from his pocket and said, "This is what your brothers gave to Tuantuan every year. They said it was New Year's money."

"Aren't they all drunk? Do you still remember this?" Gu Qingqing felt warm in her heart as she watched her brother stuff the red envelope into her son's quilt.

The brothers in the corps were all very nice to her, or rather, everyone in the corps was very nice.

"He's not completely drunk, he's just going crazy because of the alcohol." Gu Qinglie took the child from her arms, and his strong arms slowly swung his nephew like a swing.
