Gu Qingqing understood what he meant and gently tugged at his sleeve: "How about the night after tomorrow..."

Chu Dai didn't expect her to be so straightforward. He looked at her with disbelief and helplessness. He whispered, "There's someone else next to us."

"They sit far away, so there's nothing to worry about." Gu Qingqing was sitting in front of the charcoal stove, while the older people preferred to talk around the stove.

Chu Dai suddenly didn't know what to say. He felt that tonight was going to be very difficult.

At half past eight, the child woke up hungry. Gao Haiyue came over and hugged him: "Don't cry, Chongshan. Mom is here. Just now, my cousin and her husband were holding our little Chongshan. He was sleeping so soundly."

"Qingqing, A'dai, please go wash up and rest. It's getting late. I'll take your little cousin back to the house first."

"Okay." Gu Qingqing watched her leave the hall, hugged the man's arm and leaned on him: "What can I do? I don't want to wash up. I just want to sit here and warm myself by the fire."

Chu Dai was silent for a moment, "I'll go wring out the towel and bring it over."

"Do I have to brush my teeth too?"

"It's okay," Chu Dai pushed her head away, "I don't mind you."

"Brother, you are so nice!" Gu Qingqing's eyebrows curved, and before she could continue to praise him, she heard the man say -

"I'm going to visit my second brother tonight."

After hearing what he said, Gu Qingqing quickly stood up and followed the long-legged and fast-paced man, muttering, "But I can't sleep if you don't sleep with me, I must..."

Chu Dai suddenly stopped, and Gu Qingqing bumped into his hard and broad back. He hissed and covered his forehead.

"Brother!" There was some dissatisfaction in her tone.

Chu Dai turned around, gently rubbed her forehead, slightly bent down and looked directly into her dark eyes, "Don't tell this kind of thing outside in the future." He paused, "I'm very embarrassed."

He doesn't really like sex between couples that involves more than two people. When he first joined the army, the old soldiers in the barracks often talked about it, and he was quite disgusted by this behavior.

Gu Qingqing reacted and admitted her mistake: "I won't do it again next time!"

Chu Dai took the initiative to reach out and hold her palm, and blew on her slightly red forehead, "Good boy, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Gu Qingqing grinned, her big eyes were watery and tears were about to come out.

Chu Dai's heart softened instantly.

When he got to the kitchen, he took the initiative to get a basin of cold water, then picked up the kettle hanging on the stove and added hot water to the enamel basin.

Gu Qingqing stood beside him with a dry towel in her hand, waiting for him to test the water temperature.

The man rolled up his sleeves, rolled them up twice, and mixed the hot and cold water with his slender white fingers. "You can wash now."

"Pah." Gu Qingqing threw the towel directly in, splashing tiny water droplets onto the half-exposed wrist of the man.

"I want you to wash me!"

Chu Dai saw the red mark on her forehead that had not yet disappeared and nodded in agreement.

He folded the towel in half, soaked it, picked it up and twisted it, then held the hot towel in his right hand, gently supported her head with his left hand, and slowly wiped it on her face.

Gu Qingqing has been using vanishing cream recently, and her face has become much whiter, tenderer and smoother, and no longer as rough and peeling as it was before in the Corps.

There was a thin layer of silk between the man's knuckles, and when they rubbed against her face, Gu Qingqing couldn't help but frown. Chu Dai lowered his head and carefully rubbed her forehead and eyebrows. Seeing this, he asked, "Did it hurt you?"

"No." Gu Qingqing said, "Your breath is too hot. It's a bit uncomfortable to be so close to me."

Chu Dai heard this and moved closer, looking straight into her eyes, "That's not what you said last night."

There were only the two of them in the kitchen. The fire in the stove was still on. It was not cold at all. Gu Qingqing even felt it was very hot.

She reached out and grasped the man's wrist, then stood on tiptoe at an extremely fast speed and covered his thin lips with her soft lips.

By the time the man came to his senses, she had already run away.

Chu Dai raised his hand, touched the corner of his lips with his fingers, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

At half past nine in the evening, he returned to the room carrying a charcoal stove with charcoal in it. Gu Qingqing did not lie down in the quilt, nor did she turn on the light. She just half-sat at the head of the bed, her clear and sharp eyes following his figure closely.

Putting the stove next to the bed, Chu Dai unbuttoned his coat and sat on the edge of the bed.

Gu Qingqing reminded him, "Change your clothes."

Chu Dai said "hmm" and casually hung his coat on a chair beside him. He went to the closet, found a piece of coarse cotton and linen clothes, and took a wooden hanger to hang his coat.

When his fingers touched the hem of his clothes and were about to lift them up, he turned around and looked at the girl who was staring at him.

There was no light on and no moon outside. The only light was the red glow from the charcoal stove in the middle of the room, but he saw the sparkling eyes.

He put his hand down, sat back on the bed, smiled and pinched her chubby face: "What do you want to see?"

"I want to see everything." Gu Qingqing said bluntly: "Will you show it to me?" Her face was pinched into a ball and her eyebrows were wrinkled together.

"Here you go. There's nothing to hide." Chu Dai casually grabbed the cotton and linen clothes thrown aside and said, "Help me change."

"Wife."

Gu Qingqing crawled out from under the quilt, hugged his neck from behind, put her face close to his ear, and asked softly, "Can I still touch it?"

Chu Dai chuckled: "You try it."

She was half-believing and half-doubting, and slowly put her fingers into his clothes, rolled up the edge and slowly took them off. The man cooperated and raised his hands, as if letting her do whatever she wanted.

Gu Qingqing was in high spirits. She rubbed her trembling fingers across his slightly warm skin. As the hem of his clothes was lifted, she could see the man's thin muscles with distinct texture. She helped him take off his clothes, then took a cotton and linen shirt from the side and put it on him.

Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Chu Dai glanced at her and asked, "Is that it?"

"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing asked puzzledly.

"Pants." The man slowly uttered two words.

Gu Qingqing: "...Don't regret it."

The man chuckled, "Don't you dare?"

Gu Qingqing took a deep breath, slid her hand down again, and when she touched the cold belt buckle, she pulled her hand back.

Just as she met the man's teasing gaze, she gritted her teeth, feeling nervous but also a little expectant. With a "click", the belt buckle was unfastened.

The area behind Gu Qingqing's ears was already red. The man's fingers slowly moved from her earlobe to her collarbone.

Trembling slightly, she unbuttoned the man's trousers and pulled them down.

When I saw there was another pair of boxer shorts, I couldn’t describe how I felt.

Chu Dai didn't ignore the regretful expression in her eyes, and asked playfully: "Are you disappointed?"

Gu Qingqing knew that he was teasing her, so she snorted and ignored him, let go of his hand, crawled into the quilt, and turned her back to him.

The man's Adam's apple moved and a faint smile escaped from his lips.

He changed his pants and got on the bed. He lifted the quilt and just lay down when the girl next to him came up to him immediately, and her little hands restlessly drilled into the hem of his clothes.

Chu Dai did not stop her, but tilted his head back and let her do what she wanted.

At the moment they held each other's hands, they both breathed rapidly, and the panting sound in their ears was particularly annoying in the silent night. Gu Qingqing sighed with satisfaction, while the man held his forehead and smiled helplessly.

"Be gentle."

The next day, early morning.

The entire Gu family got up early and started busying themselves. Some were making breakfast, while others were gathering around the stove cutting red wedding characters.

Han's eldest brother and sister-in-law, their two daughters, as well as Zhang's father, mother, and nephew also got up one after another. After washing up, they had dinner together and discussed the rules of the marriage at the dinner table.

Today we have to go to the village to announce the wedding and invite everyone to come to the wedding banquet tomorrow at noon. Gu Tiezhu drank some wine and said, "I will go to your uncles and uncles in person. You can just go to the familiar people in the village to invite them."

The Gu family did not plan to hold a grand celebration this time, otherwise, relying on their good connections and Gu Jin's status as the team leader, all the members of the production team would have come. Gu Cai's budget was for 62 banquet tables, which was extremely high in this area.

"After dinner, go out, Qingqing, go to your uncle Qin's house and invite everyone in person." Zhang Cuifen instructed her, "Invite all the Qin family members to come, including your sister Qin Li, brother Qin Hu, and your aunt from the Qin family."

Gu Qingqing suspected that grandma knew what her uncle thought of Qin Lijie. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Let my uncle go with me."

Gu Bao gave him a look that said, "My niece still understands me." He quickly finished the rice in his bowl and stood up. "Okay, I'll go with you. Qingqing, Adai, Canyang, and Qinglie and I will be in charge of Dagouzi Village."

"Okay," Gu Tiezhu made the final decision, "I'll go to your uncles' homes in Datunzi Village, Xiongwa will go to other homes in the village, and you two brothers, the eldest and the second, go to your grandmother's home and invite your uncles over."

"The third brother is at home deciding on the banquet menu, and all the relatives are at home helping to cut red paper and discuss tomorrow's schedule."

Zhang Cuifen's parents' home was from the Red Star Production Team, which was not far away, next to the Red Flag Production Team. In fact, they all belonged to the same commune. Gu Jin happened to be riding a bicycle and taking Gu Yin there.

It's a good opportunity to show off.

He has been very busy recently. He just came back from his wife's parents' home and has not yet been to his uncle's house.

"Don't worry, dear relatives. We will definitely get it done properly!" Han's eldest brother responded.

After dinner, those who stayed at Gu's house, including Chu Zhao and the guards, began to borrow tables, chairs and benches from everywhere. No matter how big the Gu's yard was, it could not accommodate fifty tables. They planned to put a dozen tables in the main room and thirty or forty tables in the yard, which would be enough to be crowded.

Although the second son of the Gu family is a carpenter and there are many tables and chairs in the house, it is still not enough for the banquet.

When people in the village hold weddings, they have to borrow square tables and stools from everywhere. Names are written on the bottom of the tables, chairs and stools. Bowls and chopsticks also have to be borrowed. When the time comes, the villagers just have to come and identify them.

Gu Qingqing ate slowly, and when she went out, the guard had already returned carrying a square table with its four legs facing her side.

Gu Qingqing stepped forward and wanted to lend a hand, but was rejected by the guard: "Sister, go and do your own thing. I'm not so unable to carry a table." During these few days of getting along, the guard's way of addressing her had changed from comrade to sister.

Gu Qingqing stepped aside and said, "Xiao Xu, just put it in the yard. Come back and help us when we come back."

"good."

Chu Dai followed Gu Canyang out of the main room. Gu Qinglie also took a carrot from the kitchen and ate it as he walked.

He put his left hand directly around the girl's shoulders and said to Gu Bao at the door, "Uncle! Let's go, we have to walk around Dagouzi Village and have lunch when we come back."
