As the only girl in the Gu family’s third generation, Gu Qingqing grew up as the apple of her grandparents’ eyes.
Her father was the production team's leader, her second uncle was a renow...
Chapter 228 I know
Chu Dai did not find it strange that he looked so carefree. Although Xue Xu was a clerk, there were many gentlemen among the children in the compound. They were all descendants of veterans and had some genetic traits.
"How did you get here?" he asked.
"Get in the car." Turning his head and seeing two children there, Xue Xu stood a little further to the side.
"How did you get here after arriving in town?" the man asked again.
"Take a ride on my fellow villager's ox cart." Xue Xu simply put out the cigarette, leaving the remaining part at his fingertips.
Chu Dai sneered, "Wait, we are going to go around the village."
"Together." Xue Xu looked at Gu Qingqing and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you mind?"
Gu Qingqing smiled and shook her head.
I couldn't help but think of Xiao Xiao's words in my mind. Master Xue was a very upright person, and so was his son, very capable.
It’s just that Mrs. Xue is difficult to get along with.
Don't provoke anyone if there is nothing to do.
Too fierce.
There's no need to hold the little guy, the two brothers are chasing and fighting in the alley.
Gu Qingqing took a look and found that the mud brick houses around were similar to the previous Gu family's. The people from the production team went to work one after another. When she saw them, she looked at them curiously for a few more times but did not say anything.
Yesterday afternoon, a car was parked at the entrance of the village and attracted a lot of attention. The neighbors chatted for a long time, and someone with a little knowledge said, "This is a car from the army. The brand is military."
The villagers believed it without much questioning. They had seen people who could afford to drive cars, and the only people who could afford to drive cars were government officials and the military.
They also knew who the person who came back was. The captain went back yesterday and told his wife that Shen Sui from the Shen family had returned.
And life is good now.
When they saw the two little kids, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at them. Their eyes fell on the boy behind them. Someone said in surprise, "It's really the little kid from the Shen family. He has grown up so much..."
Someone looked at a thin woman at the back with a strange expression.
Xue Xu followed their gaze and said to Chu Dai, "That's Aze's sister."
Chu Dai glanced at it casually and quickly looked away.
When the woman saw Shen Sui, she wanted to come up but was stopped by the captain's wife. She shook her head at her and whispered a few words.
The woman stopped and stared at Shen Sui intently, refusing to move away.
Gu Qingqing leaned over to block her gaze, put her arm around Shen Sui's shoulders and spoke softly to him, "Do you want to go take a look at the old house?"
Shen Sui shook his head: "Sister, I want to go back." He didn't have a deep impression of this place and there was nothing to miss.
He took a walk just to see if it could reconcile with his childhood memories. When he saw these houses and roads, he felt they were a little blurry.
Logically speaking, he has such a good memory, he shouldn't be unable to remember.
It may be because it is not important, or it may be that the subconscious mind does not want to remember it.
After all, there are no good memories.
Gu Qingqing didn't ask any more questions, just said, "Okay."
She turned to Chu Dai and said, "No more walking around. Let's go back. It's a good opportunity to have lunch at the state-owned restaurant we were at yesterday."
"Okay." Chu Dai walked forward, picked up the two kids, and turned to walk towards the car.
Xue Xu was obviously too lazy to stay any longer, so he followed them into the car.
Chu Dai was driving and he sat beside him, while Shen Sui and Gu Qingqing sat in the back with their two kids.
The vehicle started and slowly left the village entrance.
The He family from the next village were a step late and beat their chests and stamped their feet as they watched the black car drive away.
In the car, the two kids took off their shoes, crawled around on the seats, and occasionally leaned on the windows to look at the scenery outside receding.
After a while, Shen Sui said, "Sister."
"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing answered casually while playing with the longevity lock on her son's neck.
"What happened just now was..." He thought for a long time and didn't know what to call it.
I just can't put it into words.
"I know." Gu Qingqing looked at him with a smile.
Shen Sui was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Sister, I don't want to come here anymore."
Gu Qingqing looked at the man through the rearview mirror. She hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and rubbed Shen Sui's hair: "Okay, I won't come again in the future."
Xue Xu wanted to say something, but felt that he was not qualified.
Indeed, Shen Ze is a hero, but not a good father.
If he hadn't met Chu Dai and his friends who came to sweep the graves, he wouldn't have known that the child had suffered so much.
Xue Xu turned around from the front seat, wanting to apologize to him on behalf of his friend, but seeing the determination in the boy's eyes to completely break away from the past, the words got stuck in his throat and he didn't say them in the end.
At the entrance of the Qixing Production Team village, the old lady of the He family pointed at the place where the vehicle was going away and cursed the ungrateful bastard. Upon hearing this, the production team leader frowned for a moment, but finally endured it, not wanting to argue with this family.
In the car, Shen Sui remained silent after saying this. Tuantuan and Niannian might have sensed their uncle's loss, and the two brothers crawled all over him, one holding his left arm, the other holding his right arm, and put their heads close to his face.
Gu Qingqing also came over, gently rested her head on his shoulder, closed her eyes and whispered, "I'll take a nap."
Shen Sui glanced at his elder sister from the side, and the restlessness in his heart subsided a little, and he gradually calmed down.
He is not homeless like before.
It was past eleven when we arrived at the state-owned hotel. When the waiter saw the lovely twin brothers, he smiled familiarly.
"Is the second floor okay, comrade?" she asked.
"Sure, could you please pour me a cup of warm water? The two little guys haven't had any water all morning." Gu Qingqing took out two bottles from the cloth bag she was carrying.
"Give it to me." The waiter said without hesitation: "I'll go to the kitchen and get you some warm water."
"That's fine." Gu Qingqing handed her two bottles.
Tuan Tuan climbed the stairs slowly by themselves every day, and Chu Dai did not get impatient and just watched them lift their feet.
Occasionally I would hold the little guys on their backs to help them.
Xue Xu looked at him, and although he didn't show it on his face, there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Gu Qingqing caught his fleeting emotion and was thoughtful.
After dinner, we drove towards the military area. The road was easy to drive on.
Chu Dai and Xue Xu chatted about some things in the army, which were nothing more than military transfers. As children of military families, many people's lives were arranged by their fathers, and even Chu Zhao was no exception.
Chu Dai and Xue Xu are two outliers. Both of them do not follow the plans of their masters and have their own ideas and ambitions.
I want to go up further.
The two men chatted for a long time and felt that they had met too late. Gu Qingqing could hardly understand what they said. She yawned while holding her chubby son.
Shen Sui listened carefully and took note of what he said.
It was around two in the afternoon when they arrived at the military area. Chu Dai drove the car to the warehouse to register and he would pick up the things in the car later.
She and Shen Sui each held a sleeping kid in their arms, and they were still a little dazed when they got home.
After hearing what He Yu said, I thought there would be a fight today, but I didn't expect to run into anyone from the He family at all.
Shen Sui's aunt is relatively honest.
"A'sui, wash your face, put Nian Nian on the bed, and go get some rest yourself. You have to go to school tomorrow, so remember to do your homework tonight," she reminded.
Now that Mr. Qin is at home, he checks Shen Sui's homework every day, and he reads more than before, with Mr. Qin accompanying him to explain and annotate each lesson one by one.
Chu Dai also conducted random checks occasionally.
"Okay, sister, you should go and have a rest too. You don't have to cook dinner tonight." Shen Sui remembered what his elder brother had said before, "I can go to the flight attendant stove to get some food."
Gu Qingqing couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, it's not good to let him support our whole family by himself. If you like the food at the flight attendant stove, you can come over anytime. Big brother's allowance is not enough."
Shen Sui nodded and shook his head: "When Tuantuan and Niannian are older, I will take them with me."
"When they grow up, you will also go to the capital." Gu Qingqing looked at the thin boy in front of her. In a blink of an eye, he had been in her home for two years.
"If Sister doesn't like it..."
"I don't dislike it," Gu Qingqing said softly, "Ah Sui, we are your support, not your hindrance. Be brave and do what you want to do. As long as you look back, we will always be behind you."
Taking him back to sweep the graves is one thing, but the other is hoping that he can let go of his worries and move on.
Shen Sui pursed his lips, looking at her with clear eyes: "Sister, I understand."
"Go and have a rest, put Nian Nian on our bed and help him take off his coat." Gu Qingqing nodded with a smile.
The boy carried his nephew to the second floor, put Xiao Niannian down, took off his one-piece woolen coat, and covered him with a quilt.
The slender figure slightly bent his waist, looked at the sleeping boy, and rubbed his slightly red nose with his finger.
Xiao Nian Nian's long, thick black eyelashes trembled, and she turned over and continued to sleep.
Shen Sui patted his back gently, and waited until he fell asleep. When he was about to leave, his eyes caught sight of the photo frame on the bedside table next to him.
This is a family photo taken with my second brother.
He didn't notice it at the time, but now he finds that there is a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
There was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
He is no longer the evasive and lifeless Shen Sui of the past.
He withdrew his gaze, walked out of the room lightly, and slowly closed the door.
After Gu Qingqing helped Xiao Tuantuan to urinate, the little boy became energetic again. She originally wanted to take her son upstairs to sleep for a while, but now it seems that is not possible.
If I go up, I will wake up the other one.
Fortunately, the man came back soon.
Putting the things in his hand on the tea table, he took Xiao Tuantuan and said, "Go to sleep for a while. We'll have dinner in the cafeteria tonight."
Gu Qingqing couldn't help but laugh: "A Sui just said the same thing, he was going to the flight attendant's stove to get food."
"He's quite thoughtful." Chu Dai nuzzled his son's face, making the boy laugh. "I don't even dare to say openly that I want to go to the flight attendant's stove to get food."
I felt a little uneasy after looking at Gu Canyang's cold face for a long time.
Gu Qingqing snorted and laughed: "Brother doesn't eat people. Where's Xue Xu? Did he go back?"
"He went to the Tank Group Army and said he would come to talk to me in the evening." Chu Dai held his son and sat on the sofa. "The sister-in-law who often came to see you is the wife of your eldest brother's comrade-in-arms, the wife of his brother-in-law."
"I know." Gu Qingqing said, "Xiao Xiao told me about his family a long time ago, and I just happen to have something to discuss with you."
