Chapter 254: That won’t work

"Your taste has become stronger since you recovered from your injury." Chu Dai shook his head: "Last time, the spicy crab was so spicy that I couldn't stand it, and you said it wasn't spicy at all."

"I thought that after being with my sister for so long, you would be able to handle some spicy food. Who knew that you are not as good as Tuantuan and Niannian." Gu Qinglie said disdainfully.

"..." Chu Dai held back and said, "What you call not spicy is just a plate of diced green and red peppers. If you continue like this, don't expect to find a wife from Nanyang."

"Aren't there female soldiers from other places in the military region?" Gu Qinglie didn't care: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to find a partner."

"...What's wrong with you?" Chu Dai laughed and scolded, "You and my elder brother are both less attentive."

It seems like these two are not in a hurry at all.

The two of them stepped into the yard together, with Chu Yuan and Qin Zhou following one step behind them.

Gu Qingqing just came out with some food: "Go wash your hands first. Sister Chang Yue brought a watermelon here today. I put it in the refrigerator to keep it cool. You can eat it after dinner."

Chu Dai went to the bathroom to wash his hands as instructed. When he came out, he saw his two sons chewing on two golden chive dumplings, enjoying the delicious food.

"Aren't you afraid of the leeks getting stuck in your teeth?" He casually pulled out a chair and sat down next to Shen Sui.

"It's chopped up very finely, how could it get stuck in the teeth?" Gu Qingqing put down her bowl and chopsticks and glared at him: "Besides, how many teeth does your son have in his mouth?"

Chu Dai laughed out loud, his voice deep and deep: "I heard you guys, mother said you have no teeth."

Xiao Niannian was anxious and grinned: "Teeth! Sticky!"

The white little glutinous rice teeth are particularly cute.

Chu Yuan picked up his anxious grandson and held him in his arms, coaxing him, "Niannian, ignore him. When he was your age, he had no teeth and often peed in his pants. Unlike our Tuantuan Niannian, who is so well-behaved and can even go to the toilet by himself."

Gu Qinglie saw the excitement and didn't mind making trouble. He washed his hands and wiped the water on his legs, then took a chive box and put it in his mouth: "Wow, Lao Chu, you often peed your pants when you were a child."

"..." Chu Dai glanced at the person who lied without blinking, and was speechless: "Do you believe this nonsense? He can only be at home for two days a year. How can he have the chance to see me peeing my pants?"

"Is that so?" Gu Qinglie sat down next to him and grinned, showing his two small canine teeth: "Dad, he said you are talking nonsense."

"Don't add fuel to the fire." Gu Qingqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go to the kitchen and bring out the meal."

"Okay." Gu Qinglie stood up again quickly.

Since he came, the atmosphere at home has become more and more relaxed and lively, and Chu Yuan and Qin Zhou are often amused by him.

The two elders also discussed privately about finding a partner for him. Since the elders of the Gu family were not in the military area, the two brothers followed Qingqing and called them "Adie" and "Godfather".

We can't just watch them go on like this.

Gu Canyang and the others were not too worried. With Xiaoxiao around, they thought it would only be a matter of time.

As for Gu Qinglie, this kid is really heartless. He believed Chu Zhao's words and can find a partner anytime he wants.

If Chu Zhao was really as easy-going as he said, he wouldn't be carried around the compound by his mother so often.

Now I often hide in the dormitory of the Air Force barracks and dare not go home.

After Gu Qinglie brought the meal, the brother and sister served the two elders first, while Tuantuan and Niannian took a small stool and sat beside the tea table to eat the meat soup.

Gu Qingqing was a little absent-minded. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. Her expression was very interesting.

Gu Qinglie pulled out a chair next to her and asked her to sit down. "What's the matter? You're not going to have a fight with the ladies in the Military Affairs House, are you?"

"Lost?" he asked again.

Gu Qingqing was somewhat speechless: "I am not a hottie, who can I fight with? I think you are the one who deserves a beating."

"So what are you thinking about?"

"..." She hesitated for a moment, met everyone's inquiring gazes, and said softly, "I accompanied Sister Chang Yue to the military hospital today."

"Ah," Gu Qinglie nodded: "She seems to be pregnant." Seeing the spicy shrimps, he felt that he and the girl were really in sync. It was a pity that Gousheng had to go on a mission today and would not be able to eat these delicious dishes.

Braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, and steamed fish are all his favorites.

Although he prefers spicy food, he also likes this kind of delicious food.

"Yeah." Gu Qingqing sat down next to him, picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks, and said, "I had a military doctor take my pulse today."

"Hmm?" Chu Dai glanced at Goudan beside him and looked sideways at her: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Chu Yuan and Old Qin also looked at her silently.

Shen Sui's eyes fell on her face, which seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Gu Qingqing put down her bowl and chopsticks and couldn't help sighing: "I'm not feeling unwell. The military doctor said I'm pregnant."

“…”

“…”

“…”

Not to mention Chu Dai who was stunned, Chu Yuan and Old Qin also put down their bowls and chopsticks. Gu Qinglie had only chewed the shrimp halfway and had no time to swallow it, so he stared at her blankly with his mouth open.

Shen Sui also looked confused.

Gu Qingqing was amused by their reactions, and the melancholy in her heart was reduced a little. "The military doctor said it's been more than a month."

Chu Yuan: “…” He still didn’t react.

He counted the days in his mind and suddenly realized: "Before joining the Construction Corps?"

"I think so." Gu Qingqing couldn't help but turned her head away, trying to avoid the man's meaningful gaze.

Chu Yuan and Qin Zhou beside him exchanged a glance, a smile gradually spreading in their eyes. He looked at the table full of sumptuous food and said, "Qingqing, don't cook for us in the future. We'll get food from the cafeteria." He was really happy from the bottom of his heart. The Chu family had become sparsely populated by Chu Dai, and he was the only son.

He was so angry that his liver ached, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't really beat his only son to death.

Now that he sees his children and grandchildren, he is truly delighted.

When one reaches a certain age and status, the only thing one wants is to have children and grandchildren around him.

Maybe he is really old.

Chu Dai had no objection to this: "If you are not used to the food in the cafeteria, I will go to my brother's place and bring you food." The food in the Air Crew Kitchen was better than that in ordinary cafeterias, and Gu Canyang had a high allowance, so supporting a girl was not a problem.

Sometimes Gu Qinglie would often go over to eat for free.

Gu Qingqing felt warm and at ease when she saw that her family cared so much about her.

She said softly, "Dad, I'm fine. Cooking is not hard work. Don't worry."

Chu Yuan thought about it and let her go, but he still reminded her again and again: "If you feel tired, don't do it. And don't worry about the quilts in the yard. Each of you should use your own at night."

"good."

Chu Dai stood up and patted Goudan on the shoulder: "Sit next to me."

"That won't work." Gu Qinglie refused to get up: "I only went to the island when my sister was about to give birth. Now I can't miss it. I've heard people say that when a woman is pregnant, she will look like whoever is at home. This one must look like me."

Chu Dai dragged his chair away and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Then you should stay away from him even more."

"Why?! I'm so good-looking." Seeing that both fathers looked at him with a half-smile, Gu Qinglie gradually felt guilty: "Actually, I look quite like my eldest brother."

Gu Qingqing snorted and laughed: "Then why don't I go directly to see my eldest brother?"

"He's busy and has no time." Gu Qinglie rubbed his face and glanced at his two little nephews who were still watching TV and eating meat soup. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: "Are you two again?"

As he spoke, he became a little excited and couldn't help rubbing his hands.

"How could that be!" Gu Qingqing denied it subconsciously, but couldn't help but think of Chang Yue's words in her mind.

"…Probably not." She murmured to herself again.

Chu Dai stared at her for a while, took her hand from under the table and placed it on his lap, and asked, "Shall I take you to the military hospital for a checkup tomorrow?"

"Sister Chang Yue said that the pregnancy is not advanced and the pulse is not obvious, so we can't find out." Gu Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "She and I have made an appointment to go to the military hospital together at the end of next month. By then, it will be almost three months."

"I'll go with you." The man nodded.

"I'll go too." Gu Qinglie said, "I'll take a day off at the end of next month and accompany you guys."

Chu Yuan and Qin Lao looked at each other and said, "Let's go too."

Old Qin smiled and nodded: "I have no objection."

Finally, Shen Sui also said he wanted to go and take the two kids along.

Gu Qingqing was stunned for a long time, then came to her senses: "Will this... be too big of a fight?"

Moreover, with her father's status, going to the military hospital would surely attract the attention of the hospital's leaders.

She was afraid of causing trouble for her father.

"We will just look for the most experienced military doctor when the time comes," Chu Yuan said without caring about it. "It's not a big deal."

Originally, his physical examination was performed regularly by the director of the military hospital, so it would be a good opportunity for him to examine Qingqing next time.

Gu Qingqing exchanged a glance with the man next to her. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Dad. Will you be very busy at the end of next month? If so, you don't have to accompany us. You should focus on your work."

"The headquarters cannot be run by me alone. Not much will be delayed in one day. My grandson... granddaughter is important." Chu Yuan subconsciously mentioned his grandson, remembering that once at Gu's house, Gu Tiezhu said that their family did not favor boys over girls and hoped to have a girl.

Afraid that Qingqing would misunderstand that he favored boys over girls, he subconsciously changed his words.

He already has two grandchildren, so he would like the next baby to be a boy or a girl. Maybe it will really be twins again.

He still has some old traditions in his bones, unlike Chu Dai who is indifferent. Now thinking about the Chu family's increasingly prosperous incense, he can't wait to go and worship his ancestors.

Old Qin was also happy. Qingqing was his favorite child. It was a blessing from God for him to meet such a good child in his later years.

Every time Tuantuan called him "Grandpa" in her baby voice, he felt his heart melt.

I have no regrets in this life.

The fact that Gu Qingqing was pregnant again was told to Gousheng through Goudan, and he came directly over in the evening.

Gu Qinglie kept muttering: "I have to let the little guy look at me more!"

Gu Canyang glanced at him lightly, and the muttering stopped abruptly.

In the evening, the men did not let Gu Qingqing cook, and crowded into the kitchen to discuss what dishes to cook.

Gu Canyang leaned against the kitchen door and watched them busying around.

Today is the latest day for the Chu family to have dinner, but the whole family is very happy. Chu Yuan even took out the aged wine that he had collected for many years.

Gu Qingqing was playing Luban locks with her sons on the sofa, while Gu Qinglie came out from the kitchen with dishes: "It's time to eat!"
