When the man walked out of the yard carrying the hot water bottle and her footsteps could no longer be heard, she slowly walked into another room.

These courtyards are not very large. They are two-story buildings with a bedroom, a small kitchen and a bathroom on the first floor. The living room is not very big either, at least half the size of the courtyard of the Chu family military compound.

But because it is a newly built house, it looks very fresh, and the lighting here is good. Several large windows are opened and the house is very bright.

She is very satisfied.

This is his home.

I took a look at the first floor and then went to the second floor. The stairs and floors were also made of wood. It might be because it is close to the mountain and it is convenient to use local materials.

There are two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room and a small balcony outside on the second floor.

The bedroom is not big, there is not much space for a bed and a closet. Her favorite place is the balcony, which is convenient for drying clothes and quilts.

Gu Qingqing thought to herself that if she and he had a child, she and he would live downstairs, leaving the upstairs for the children...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pat her face: "It's still early, don't think about these things."

Chu Dai didn't look for her downstairs. He poured a cup of hot water and brought it to her. Seeing that she was mumbling, he handed the water to her, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm thinking about how many children I'm going to have in the future!" She blurted out subconsciously, and only then did she react and meet the man's half-smile in the eyes, and ran straight to the stairs.

Chu Dai grabbed her waist from behind, held her in his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Do you want a child?" He remembered that when he was chatting with Zhao Ze, she carefully touched Xu Nian's belly.

There seemed to be a hint of envy in his eyes.

Gu Qingqing couldn't get away, so she didn't move. "No, you said you wanted to come later. I'm not in a hurry. I just think there are three rooms here, one for our family, and two for the children."

"Yeah." The man chuckled in her ear, "My wife is very thoughtful."

Gu Qingqing took two sips of hot water from his hand, then got out of his arms: "I'm sleepy! Go to the cafeteria to eat tonight and bring it back for me. I don't want to move. I'm going to sleep first."

Almost fled in panic.

Chu Dai watched her run downstairs, leaning against the wall with a cup of water in his right hand, drinking slowly.

He casually looked at the two rooms and the living room upstairs. They were all quite nice and suitable for children to live in.

Remembering what she had just said, "I'm thinking about how many children I want to have in the future," he silently curled his lips and slowly went downstairs holding the army green enamel water cup.

One is good, two is also good.

He can do anything.

Chu Dai tidied up downstairs for a while, raised his hand to check the time, and went to the bedroom door on the first floor, leaning against the door frame: "Qingqing?"

Gu Qingqing poked half of her head out from under the quilt, her big dark eyes filled with the confusion of someone who had just woken up.

Chu Dai turned on the light and said, "I'm going to get food now. Do you want me to bring you some water?"

"Yes!" Gu Qingqing twisted in the quilt for a few times, and finally gave up because she really didn't want to come out: "Go and get a bucket, don't fill it with hot water, get some cold water."

"I know." Chu Dai nodded, and after taking two steps, he turned back and asked her, "Does it still hurt?"

Gu Qingqing nodded pitifully, looking at him with her big watery eyes.

Chu Dai understood and planned to go to Zhao Ze to get some medicine later.

It was a bit cold on the island at night, and the wind was biting. Chu Dai stood straight and was not affected. He went to the cafeteria with the soldiers who came out one after another.

A soldier who had come out of the corps with them asked, "Captain Chu, I heard that we are going to form a reinforced battalion. Who do you think can be the battalion commander?"

Chu Dai glanced at him casually. "No matter who is selected from the four directions, two corps and three war zones, there will be people who are dissatisfied. The superiors have already decided on this matter, so there is no need for us to worry about it."

"That's right." The warrior scratched his head, "I just think you're quite suitable."

In contrast, Chu Dai remained silent.

It is not entirely true to say that he only wanted to fight and did not want to climb up the career ladder. He was a courageous and ambitious man who was willing to sacrifice for his country and to use his military exploits to fight for his future.

There is a huge mountain ahead of him that is very difficult to climb. Perhaps he will never reach Chu Yuan's current level in this lifetime. Even if he refuses to admit defeat, he has to acknowledge his father's achievements.

Zhang Jianshe also came out with a lunch box at this time, "What about the battalion commander? Our words don't count. If we count in terms of fighting, Captain Chu has been on the battlefield more times among our group, but this is not a corps, so there is no need to fight."

What he meant was, Chu Dai, forget it.

Even the young soldier understood what he meant. His face flushed as he was about to step forward to talk to him, but Chu Dai stopped him: "If you don't go to the cafeteria now, it will be past dinner time. Regardless of whether it is a combat zone or not, soldiers don't need to rely on talking to win."

After saying this, he walked away without caring about Zhang Jianshe's expression.

The little soldier also walked past him with his head held high. Isn't that the Luzhong Corps? They built the Corps to occupy the border, and they were the first to take on any big and tough battles. In his eyes, Captain Chu was the most qualified to be the battalion commander!

Zhang Jianshe snorted coldly, carrying his lunch box and slowly walked towards the cafeteria.

In order to prevent Xu Nian from going out to the cold wind, Zhao Ze also went back to eat. When he saw Chu Dai coming, he asked, "Sister Qingqing is not here?"

"You have eyes now." Chu Dai put the lunch box next to him, "Please prescribe some medicine for me."

"Hmm?" Zhao Ze scooped two pieces of hairtail into the lunch box, then put the spoon back. "What's wrong with you? Are you seasick?"

Many people have come to him to ask for seasickness medicine today. It is their first time to ride on a warship. Except for those from the Southern Military Region, most of them have never been to sea. This is normal.

"No." Chu Dai cleared his throat and scooped up a piece of fish to cover up his embarrassment, "...it's just that Qingqing has a stomachache, please prescribe some painkillers for her."

"Caught a cold? Or was the seafood we had this afternoon too cold?" Zhao Ze didn't think about it for a moment.

"Neither." Chu Dai picked up two more shrimp cakes, "It's the one that girls have every month, you know."

"..." This time Zhao Ze understood. He was a little speechless and pushed his glasses up his nose. "The scar on your waist was rotten at that time, but you didn't say anything. Now your wife has a stomachache because of such a woman's thing and she asked me to prescribe medicine."

"Old Chu, are you okay?"

Chu Dai finished cooking and repacked his lunch box, glancing at him: "Will you help me?"

"There really is no such medicine. Whose daughter-in-law has not experienced this? Isn't it all just about enduring it and getting over it?" Zhao Ze's eyes rolled, and a gleam of light flashed through his eyes behind the glasses: "But I have a way to help you solve this problem temporarily."

"Hmm? There was a fart."

"This is a must for women. There is no other way unless you get pregnant, in which case you can have peace for ten months." He observed Chu Dai's expression without blinking.

"..." Chu Dai was silent for a moment, then patted his shoulder and said, "Please prepare the two boxes for me. I'll pick them up from you later."

"No," Zhao Ze couldn't help but raise his voice: "Were you injured in the war? You are not young anymore, why don't you consider having a child? If it's really not possible, I will help you and pull out the knife if necessary."

The marines who were getting their meals nearby couldn't help but look over here. Chu Dai glanced at him leisurely, the sarcasm in his eyes obvious: "You are here to take revenge on me, Military Doctor Zhao."

Zhao Ze saw the fierceness flashing in his eyes and shrank his neck: "Just kidding, we will go back together later, and I will give you a few more boxes, use them slowly."

Chu Dai raised his hand and hooked it over his shoulder. "Okay, we two brothers can discuss anything. Why do we have to humiliate each other in public?"

Zhao Ze laughed dryly, "Really? Have you prepared your meal? Then let's go. Ah Nian is still waiting for me at home."

The two of them walked back together. Chu Dai did not go into the house, but waited in the yard with his lunch box.

Zhao Ze went in and brought the lunch box to the bedside so that Xu Nian could eat. Today was quite tiring. Xu Nian did not gain weight even though she was pregnant. Her little face looked thinner. He felt distressed when he saw it.

"Eat more. I also made you some egg drop soup. Drink it while it's hot. Lao Chu is still outside. I'm going to go talk to him first."

Although Xu Nian was puzzled as to why Captain Chu came, he still nodded and took the chopsticks without asking any more questions.

Seeing that she had a good appetite, Zhao Ze got up with confidence and went to another room, where medical supplies brought from the warship were piled. The health center still had some medicine shelves that had not been nailed down, so he put them here for the time being.

I found two boxes of condoms, thought for a while, and took two more boxes.

He always felt that Chu Dai was working against Commander Chu and wanted to destroy the Chu family.

The relationship between these father and son is clear to everyone who is familiar with them.

Chu Dai didn't have to wait long before he came out, holding four small white cardboard boxes stacked together in his hands.

"Here, come back to me when you're done." Zhao Ze put her in his arms and said meaningfully, "Be patient for a few days, otherwise it will be bad for the girl's health."

Chu Dai glanced at him indifferently.

What do they think he is? A beast.

After taking the things, he didn't bother to talk to Zhao Ze and walked out of the yard. The fool was still shouting behind him: "If you feel that you have to urinate frequently, you have to go to the seaside to dig oysters to replenish your body. Don't blame your brother for not reminding you."

Chu Dai disappeared into the night without even looking back.

When Gu Qingqing heard the sound of the door being pushed open and the familiar footsteps, she knew he was back. She struggled to get up from the warm bed, wrapped in the quilt and sat by the bed waiting for him to come in.

She was stunned when she saw him carrying a lunch box and several cardboard boxes in his arms.

"Where's the hot water?"

Chu Dai was also stunned. He placed the lunch box in his hand on the small table beside him and the paper box in his arms on the bedside. He was a little embarrassed and said, "I forgot."

Gu Qingqing looked at the familiar small cardboard box at the bedside, her face flushed, and she threw a pillow at him, "Just remember these messes! Chu Dai!! My hot water!!!"

Chu Dai grabbed the army green pillow. His white fingers were long and slender, and the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible. Gu Qingqing was slightly distracted as she watched.

He put down the pillow and rubbed his nose. "I just happened to run into Zhao Ze and forgot about it. You eat first. I'll go to the cafeteria and get a bucket of hot water."

Gu Qingqing sighed, took out the lunch box and put it away.

She patted the bed and motioned for him to sit down, "Eat first, we'll go later."
