Chapter 242: So Sweet

Guan Xun originally had more to say, but now everything was uncertain and it was not easy to say it publicly. He thought that he would definitely go to the southern military region when the time came and then ask his old leader.

Political Commissar Xu looked at him and knew what his old partner was thinking. He nodded and agreed to go together when the time came.

Gu Qinglie came and left in a daze. It was already dark outside. He followed the girl and asked, "What did you mean by what you said at the dinner table just now? Going to the capital for further studies?"

"Let your brother talk to you when we get back to the military region." Gu Qingqing grabbed the kicking feet of his son in his arms and said, "Let dad hold you, okay?"

Gu Canyang walked in front holding Tuan Tuan, while Chu Dai followed with his hands behind his back, chatting and laughing with Shen Sui, leaving his little son to Gu Qinglie, the injured soldier.

Xiao Nian Nian's legs were very strong and he broke free from A Niang's hands in one go. He kicked Gu Qinglie in the abdomen accidentally. He groaned and beads of sweat appeared on his temples.

The little boy was stunned for a moment when he saw his uncle like this, not understanding what was going on. Seeing his uncle's sweat dripping down his cheeks, he hurriedly wiped the sweat off his uncle with his little hands: "Chirp~"

"Uncle is fine. Don't be afraid every year." Gu Qinglie comforted him softly.

Gu Qingqing couldn't stand him: "Just stay with the child. Chu Dai! Take your son away."

"Eh?" The man in front turned around, took his son from Gu Qinglie's arms, and said with a smile: "Why did you make your mother angry again?"

Xiao Nian Nian pouted: "Uncle, ho ho."

Gu Qinglie rubbed his hair: "Uncle, it doesn't hurt."

Gu Qingqing looked at the affectionate uncle and nephew with displeasure: "Okay, I am the bad guy who destroyed your family relationship."

Chu Dai poked the kid in his arms on the cheek: "My dear mother, she is angry."

"Mother~" The little guy was very considerate. He leaned over from his father's arms and gave his mother a crisp "kiss" on the face.

Gu Qingqing sighed helplessly, looked at her son's ingratiating smile, and gently scratched his little nose with her finger.

"You can't let your second uncle hold him these few days. He's injured. If you kick him, it will break open."

"Okay! I won't hold you~ I'll just stick around and go!" the little guy said in a baby voice.

Very refreshing.

Gu Qinglie winked at the woman from behind, indicating that it was okay for his uncle to hug her secretly.

Xiao Niannian grinned, revealing his white glutinous rice teeth.

There was a waning moon in the sky, and shadows of light were falling from the treetops. The evening breeze blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed on the ground.

Gu Canyang saw the boy shrink in his arms and silently hugged him tighter.

After returning to the military compound, Gu Qinglie waited for them to wash up and chatted with them for a while before returning to the barracks dormitory.

The two little guys were drowsy. Gu Qingqing wiped their faces with a hot towel and asked the eldest brother and the man to put them to bed.

Although Shen Sui next to him still looked a little unhappy, he seemed to be in better spirits than in the afternoon.

Gu Qingqing observed carefully and then said, "I'll take you to the desert to ride a camel tomorrow morning. After we come back and have lunch, we'll go to the train station."

"Okay." Shen Sui had no objection.

After washing up in the bathroom, she pushed the door open and entered the house.

"Where's my brother?" She unzipped the luggage bag and took out the cooling oil from it.

"He went next door. He's been tired all day." Chu Dai took off his son's coat, took the cotton pajamas handed to him by his daughter-in-law, and put them on.

Xiao Tuantuan is very attached to his uncle. If Gu Qinglie wasn't holding him, Xiao Niannian would also like to cling to Gu Canyang. The two brothers often kiss him so hard that his face is covered with saliva, and Chu Dai watches from the side in amazement.

Gu Canyang is particularly patient and tolerant towards the two brothers, and he often changes their diapers.

If Gu Qinglie dared to be so clingy to his brother... he wouldn't dare.

He had to observe his brother's expression before putting his arm around his shoulder. Gu Canyang usually didn't show his emotions much, but Gu Qinglie often saw his impatient look.

Gu Qingqing, on the other hand, doesn't have so many reservations and now often acts coquettishly in front of her two brothers. Gu Canyang lets her do as she pleases. Although Gu Qinglie argues with her, he is actually afraid of disappointing her.

"Is this a mosquito bite? Or is there a bug?" Gu Qingqing felt so distressed when she saw the bulging red spots on her son's fair and tender arms.

She poured the cooling oil into her palms and rubbed it before applying it on his arms.

"Mosquitoes," Chu Dai glanced casually, "There are a lot of mosquitoes here. The last time you came, the weather was cold and you didn't catch them. Now that it's warm, they've all come out."

Gu Qingqing casually glanced at the man's hand pulling the quilt, and noticed the red dot on his wrist with her sharp eyes.

She reached out and pulled over, "You were bitten too?" There were a few small bumps on her fair arm.

The father and his two sons all have very fair skin. As for Shen Sui, it is especially obvious when he bumps into something, and it also looks horrible when he is bitten by mosquitoes, with a red bump.

She is just a little red dot at best.

"Nothing." Chu Dai said casually, "Get up early tomorrow, and after breakfast I'll take you to the desert. I may rarely come here in the future."

Gu Qingqing nodded, but thought of Yu Fugui and hesitated to speak.

Chu Dai knew what she was thinking. He wanted to take off his coat, but when he saw her holding his hand to apply cooling oil, he didn't take it back: "I will retire in a few years."

Gu Qingqing was a little dazed.

Yes, Uncle Yu and Uncle Guan are about the same age and have been in the Corps for a long time.

"So how will he be arranged after he changes his job?"

"Go back to your hometown." Chu Dai looked at her and said, "I don't have a city hukou, so I have no choice but to go back."

Gu Qingqing nodded and said nothing more.

They all changed into pajamas. Fearing there were mosquitoes on the wall, Gu Qingqing didn't let the two kids sleep next to the wall. Instead, they slept between their father and mother, which was a rare occurrence.

Gu Qingqing's back was a little distance away from the wall, her hands were placed horizontally on the quilt, pressing on the stomachs of the two little guys.

The man stretched out his left hand and placed it on the back of her hand. He placed his right hand behind his head and looked at his two sons with his head slightly tilted.

Tuantuan Nian Nian looks about 60% similar to him, and there is a bit of Gu Canyang's shadow in his eyes and eyebrows.

Thinking of something, he said, "They say nephews resemble their uncles. There is a reason for that."

Gu Qingqing chuckled: "Looking like Gousheng is good, he and you are the best looking ones in our family."

"Aren't there still you and the second brother?" Chu Dai said modestly, "You are both like the eldest brother, I can be the last one in line."

Gu Qingqing kicked him under the quilt.

The man's clear laughter blended into the thick night.

After a while, his smile faded a little, fearing that the little woman would get angry and kick him again.

"Actually, it's good if a daughter looks like her eldest brother." Gu Canyang's appearance is slightly softer than his. He has a strong jawline and looks a bit stern and not easy to mess with.

After getting to know him for a long time, you will find that his personality is opposite to Gu Canyang's. He is easier to talk to, while Gu Canyang really makes you dare not speak.

Gu Qingqing's left hand somehow covered her belly, and she lowered her eyes as if thinking about something.

Because he was under the quilt, the man did not notice her movements. He looked sideways at the moon on the treetops outside the window and asked, "Wife."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing was absent-minded.

"Why is Big Brother called Gu Canyang?" This name doesn't match his personality.

"I don't know either. Grandpa picked it."

The man nodded slightly and asked no more questions.

I actually couldn't sleep that night.

A mosquito was buzzing in his ear, but if it were him, he would have just fallen asleep and not cared.

Now that she and the child are here, I can't help but care about it.

"Qingqing." He called out.

The woman didn't know when she fell asleep. Maybe she was too tired after sitting in the car for two days and didn't get enough rest in the afternoon.

He moved his fingers slightly, touching the woman's warm fingertips, and then intertwined their fingers.

In the afternoon, she said that when she woke up, it felt like a dream, and he also felt a sense of unreality now.

My mentality two years ago is completely different from now. In just a few years, I have a wife and children, two uncles and a brother-in-law.

This feeling is quite magical.

The two little guys were breathing lightly. They had just gone to sleep without drinking milk, so they would probably wake up again in the middle of the night.

Chu Dai leaned over slightly and kissed his little son beside him.

He hadn't slept yet. At around two in the morning, the two brothers woke up at the same time. They opened their eyes drowsily and their little mouths pursed as if they were about to cry.

Two bottles were stuffed into their hands at the same time to stop their crying.

Gu Qingqing was also awakened by the noise and half-pushed herself up: "What's wrong?" She yawned with hazy eyes.

"It's okay, go to sleep, I'm here." Chu Dai tucked the quilt behind her. The temperature in the border town was high during the day and very cold at night.

"Oh." Hearing this, the woman lay down again, mumbling, "You should go to bed early too..."

"good."

Tuan Tuan always holds the bottle every day, smacking the bottle with his little mouth, and falls asleep before he finishes drinking.

The man sat on the edge of the bed with his knees bent, supporting the headboard with his right hand, looking at the mother and her two children with tender and affectionate eyes.

If he really has a daughter in the future, he hopes she will be more like her, from her personality to her looks.

If the girl is ambitious, he will pave the way for her and guide her. If she is lazy, he will let her be a spoiled girl at home like her mother, and he will take care of her.

Anyway, it's fine no matter what.

You don't have to have lofty ambitions, just be happy.

The dark ink gradually faded, a ray of light appeared in the sky, and the clouds rolled.

As dawn approached, Chu Dai slept for a while and was now full of energy. He dressed the two little guys and let them go to find their uncle by themselves.

The little woman turned her back to him, facing the wall, and refused to get up.

"Wife." He bent down and pinched her round cheek.

The woman mumbled and raised her hand to slap him away: "...Let me sleep a little longer."

"It's time for breakfast." He didn't bother.

"I don't want to eat." Gu Qingqing turned over and rested her forehead on his knees: "Don't call me."

The man was amused: "You're not going to ride camels in the desert?"

The woman didn't respond for a long time, so he said slowly, "Okay, I get it, I won't go then."

After a while, the woman resigned herself to her fate and reached out her hand from under the quilt, saying in a deep voice, "Pull me up."

The man held her wrist, exerted a little force, and pulled her into his arms.

Gu Qingqing's head hit his chest and rubbed it. She took a deep breath and said, "So sweet."

Chu Dai held her waist with one hand, and let the other hand hang at his side. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Do you want to taste it?"

"Hmm?" She looked up in confusion. Because she had just woken up, her almond-shaped eyes were misty.

The man's eyes darkened as he slowly took out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper with one hand, and put it in his mouth.

Gu Qingqing looked at his movements and tilted her head slightly.

After a while, my mouth was filled with sweetness.
