Prosperous Days in the '70s

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...

"Hmm? What did you talk about, Brother Adai?" The woman imitated Bai Rong's tone, looking at him with a smile on her face and a hint of ridicule in her eyes.

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

I 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 find it annoying?"

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

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

Without the two kids around, the couple had some time alone together. He didn't have to go to the command center in the afternoon, so he could do what he wanted.

I opened the closet, found a pair of white cotton and linen pajamas, and took off my clothes and changed into them 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 his eyebrows: "Do 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 propped up on her knees, and looked at him with her face propped up: "Are you shy? There is no 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, allowing some light to pass through. Moreover, the window edges were not drawn tightly, and 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 untied it with a crisp "click".

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

The man's hand stopped in mid-air while he was unbuttoning his pants. Suddenly, he 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. "Would you like me to go 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 wives of soldiers in the military district, do you think..."

Before she finished speaking, the man understood: "Next time I'll go to the military doctor to ask for some. It's a bit inconvenient when the surgeon is not here." Zhao Ze was more generous. He was in charge of all 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 held the woman in his arms and asked, "What are we going to do today?"

"Hold it." Gu Qingqing suppressed her laughter and said, "Take a nap. Aren't you going to accompany me to the market this afternoon? I just happen to need someone to carry the things."

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

Chu Dai pinched her waist lightly and said, "Alright." 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 we left the island, and I don't know how Sister Anian and Xiaoyuer are doing."

"It was sent a few days ago. I was asked to say hello to you. Xu Nian said that he would send a letter to you by the supply ship. I will go to the dock to pick it 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 asked 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 dark eyes: "Think it over carefully, this is not foolproof, why don't you go and see if there is any in the afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingqing tightened her hands slightly and looked at him innocently with her 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 Jianguo and Weidong are all here. It's okay for them to help us with the task. Besides, we have our mother." Gu Qingqing's hands moved slowly: "Also, brother, you are too confident in yourself. Didn't Tuan Tuan and Niannian wear it after not wearing it for a long time?"

Chu Dai was able to control himself at first, but when he heard her next words, the tension broke, and his eyes turned 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 them both: "No."

She 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 p.m., 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, and walked barefoot on the floor to open the door. The two little guys loved climbing stairs, and he was afraid that they would fall if they went downstairs by themselves.

I opened the door, and two furry little heads popped in through the crack of the door. Little Tuantuan said in a baby voice, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Xiao Niannian ran past the man, his little hands climbing onto the edge of the bed, while 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, "I'm hungry! Take a dip in my underwear~"

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

The two brothers may have grown up a little, and they 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, and they have to drink milk after taking a nap. In the evening, they eat some soup with 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 older son, who was struggling under the bed, onto the bed.

The man put two bottles in their hands, and suddenly 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, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Little Tuantuan was also pecking at rice, biting the pacifier and mumbling: "Chirp~Puh."

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

The two kids rolled around on the bed for ten minutes after drinking milk. The man had already changed his clothes. "What do you want to buy for dinner?"

"I have to go 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 parents were not paying attention.

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

"Okay." The man lifted the two kids from behind and said, "Aren't you tired of playing at home? Let's go out and get some sun."

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

Besides his and the woman's clothes, there were the two little boys' diapers on the clothesline outside. Their clothes could not be dried upstairs, so they were all on the balcony on the third floor.

There are two washing machines in the house, 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, he 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 of free time.

The little guy nodded his head and repeated, "Looking for Jiujiu~"

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

The army required them to speak Mandarin. Although the two children were from Nanyang, neither of them could speak Nanyang dialect.

Chu Dai knew a little when he was a child, but later he went to the Construction Corps and lived with a group 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 will be four when Ah Sui finishes junior high school, just in time for him to go to the capital to study in the red class.

If the news is accurate, and the capital has just passed that period of hype, the 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. Tuantuan can learn more from those grandpas every year when he visits them, 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 after being 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 serve as a deputy regiment commander in the field army.

In this case, he would be qualified to go to military school.

However, the current situation is still unclear and there are no clear instructions from above, so we can only make plans in our minds.

"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. I'll cook breakfast today."

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

"Tuantuan Nian Nian, are you going to leave by yourself?" Gu Qingqing asked her two sons.
