First update

"Nurse Xiao Qin, someone is looking for you." After knocking on the door, nurse Xiao Zhang smiled rather strangely and blinked.

Qin Yao is helping out in the traditional Chinese medicine therapy room today. She is learning cupping, which is a fine skill. In the army, people who understand traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and massage techniques can be regarded as saviors like "fathers".

It is extremely useful in relieving fatigue and pain.

She and two other nurses studied under the female doctor Wu Mengyao. It was said that Wu Mengyao's family had been practicing medicine for generations and was very capable.

It was just over now. Qin Yao took off her white nurse uniform, went downstairs in her regular clothes, and when she reached the door, she finally understood why there was that strange smile on nurse Xiao Zhang's face.

The man in military uniform in front of him stood as straight as a pine tree, with a sense of righteousness. There was a red enamel basin beside his legs and a red thermos on the right. In addition, there were many things in the basin. At a quick glance, there were soap, shampoo, pillowcases for women...

Qin Yao walked over, the expression on her face was indescribable. She looked at Gu Cheng's cold face for a while, and then looked at the Double Happiness pattern on the enamel basin and the Double Happiness pattern on the thermos.

Enamel basins and thermos bottles were considered big items in this era, and they cost several dollars to buy, which was equivalent to one-third of Qin Yao's current monthly income.

Ordinary people don’t buy it on weekdays. Most of them are bought by newlyweds when they get married. In order to meet the wishes of newlyweds, manufacturers make most of them have big red double happiness characters on the surface.

Phew, it seems so out of place for Gu Cheng to be with these things.

Of course, if he had an enamel pot in his hand and a hat covering his face, he would look like an old cadre.

Qin Yao walked over while holding back her laughter. Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her. God knows if he stood there, people passing by would turn around to look at him as if they saw a gorilla. Even Gu Cheng, who had seen many big scenes, felt under great pressure.

Is it strange?

Yesterday, Political Commissar Zhou even suspected that he was "settling" in dating. Isn't this nonsense? The more Gu Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was an insult to him.

He obviously liked Qin Yao very much and couldn't wait to marry her, why didn't they know? ?

——He hid it too well.

Gu Cheng asked someone today what young men and women usually give each other as gifts when they are dating. He heard a lot of answers: "Pens, notebooks, enamel basins, thermos bottles... In short, whatever is practical, our generation is pragmatic."

"These things can be used every day. If you give them to a little girl, she will face the washbasin you gave her as soon as she wakes up every day and write with the pen you gave her. This is inseparable."

…

Gu Cheng recalled the things he had given Qin Yao: candy, chocolate, canned food. He was afraid that she would be hungry, so he gave her a lot of food. He also wrote a lot of love poems...

Love poems are not practical; sugar and chocolate are gone once you eat them. All in all, the things he gave in the past were indeed not very practical.

So Gu Cheng went to buy a bunch of "practical" things today and decided to send a batch of them away first.

Qin Yao picked up the enamel basin in one hand and held the thermos in the other, a smile on her face. She was very happy. If nothing else, these things were exactly what she needed.

"Do you like it?" Gu Cheng asked with a stiff face. To be honest, they were still in a "cold war".

Qin Yao said honestly: "I like it, thank you."

Gu Cheng stuffed a passbook into his trouser pocket. According to his own understanding, he felt that giving these things as gifts was not very sincere. It would be better to just give the passbook and various receipts directly, and let the girl buy whatever she wanted.

Hearing Qin Yao's words, he felt that it would be better if he kept the money and gave it to her more times.

What if there is another cold war next time?

"Let me get it. I'll take you back." Gu Cheng snatched the things from Qin Yao's hand, and the two walked towards the dormitory together. They walked side by side, and before they could speak, a woman's voice caught up with them.

"Captain Gu! Xiao Qin! Wait for me."

Xu Yun trotted non-stop to catch up. She had just gotten rid of a few young nurses who were learning to embroider handkerchiefs from her. When she saw Gu Cheng and Qin Yao, she hurried forward to stop them.

Qin Yao said, "Nurse Xu, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious. I just came to talk to you young people." Xu Yun smiled softly, looking amiable. She glanced at Qin Yao and landed on Gu Cheng. "Captain Gu, are you dating Xiao Qin?"

Gu Cheng nodded, and his eyes examined Xu Yun.

"This Xiao Qin is good-looking, but her personality is a bit impulsive and extreme. She is not very proactive, greedy, and lazy. You have to be more tolerant of her. She has managed to be so thin, so you have to let her maintain it. If these two people are dating, they should get to know each other well before marriage. Understand what kind of people they are and whether they can get along after marriage. Otherwise, they will be like some people, with two different faces before and after marriage."

After saying that, Xu Yun covered her mouth, as if she realized that she had said something wrong. "Well, that's all I'm saying, Xiao Qin. Head Nurse Ge also asked you to make more changes. Don't ignore her."

Qin Yao sneered: "Head Nurse Ge didn't say much."

Xu Yun showed a tolerant smile: "Xiao Qin, look at you, you need to be humble and seek truth from facts."

"Captain Gu, isn't that right?" Xu Yun pursed her lips with a smile and looked at Gu Cheng standing beside her.

Although this method of provoking people's emotions is crude, it is effective. I believe these two people will not quarrel over it.

An officer like Gu Cheng had to be given some face and not make things too embarrassing. But Qin Yao probably hated her to death and felt full of grievances, but the man still blamed her for not being humble.

"What Nurse Xu said is true." Gu Cheng smiled sarcastically, "Some people really have two faces in front of others and behind their backs."

The smile on Gu Cheng's face was too ironic, like a knife stabbing straight at her, and the smile on Xu Yun's face froze.

Gu Cheng said calmly: "Yuan Li is your niece. I was there the day she stole the money. She cried so pitifully on the surface, but she is a thief with a dark heart and dirty hands. She is so shameless."

Xu Yun's face turned pale. Does Gu Cheng know? Gu Cheng actually knew everything clearly.

She had planned everything but forgot that Gu Cheng had reviewed the information of all of Qin Yao and the others, but he actually remembered it!

"Yaoyao, you have to be careful of women who say one thing in front of you and another behind your back." Gu Cheng warned the girl beside him.

Qin Yao almost laughed out loud, and she did laugh, "Captain Gu, I'll listen to you."

No wonder Xu Yun had bad intentions, it turns out she and Yuan Li are relatives.

This family is simply crazy. The one who stole the money was Yuan Li, the one who lost the money was Li Fangfang, and the one who was wrongly accused was Tian Shuyun. Why are they staring at her and biting her like a mad dog? They are crazy!

Her hypocritical face was exposed in public, and her relationship with her niece Yuan Li was also revealed. Xu Yun could no longer laugh or stay, so she turned around and left.

Gu Cheng and Qin Yao continued to walk forward. When they passed by a vegetable field, Qin Yao asked him to wait and water the vegetables before going back. Gu Cheng was very dissatisfied: "This is the washbasin I gave you! For washing your face!"

Qin Yao: “…” Is there anything wrong with using a washbasin to water the vegetable garden?

"For washing your face."

Qin Yao said "oh" and thought that this man was too stingy.

Gu Cheng's eyes twitched. After spending some time with Qin Yao, he knew that this little girl must be criticizing him in her heart. "Okay, okay, you water the plants."

"Think of me when you water the plants."

Qin Yao: “…” Confused.

Gu Cheng took an enamel basin to collect water. Nowadays, in addition to enamel basins and aluminum basins, most people use wooden basins and wooden barrels. Farmers all use wooden barrels, and Qin Yao also used wooden barrels for watering before.

Qin Yao followed him. The enamel basin was sturdy and beautiful. Saying it was enamel might sound rustic, but saying "enamel" suddenly made it sound like high-end craftsmanship. In fact, they were the same thing.

Gu Cheng bought an enamel basin. At the bottom of the basin was a golden fish with its thick tail raised up, shaped like the moon, and wrapped in a big red double happiness character.

After Qin Yao started planting vegetables, she hoped it would rain every night so that she could save the trouble of watering them.

Fortunately, we can still conscript men.

Needless to say, Gu Cheng worked very hard, his hands and feet were nimble, and he took care of the seedlings in her field, making them look lush and green.

Chinese cabbage grows fast and will be ready to eat soon.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "I'll cook you a plate of vegetables later."

Gu Cheng: “…”

Seeing that Gu Cheng didn't speak, Qin Yao asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Gu Cheng frowned and asked, "You want to eat them?"

Qin Yao blinked her eyes: "Aren't vegetables grown for eating?"

Gu Cheng was upset: "..."

He looked at the ground beneath his feet. This was the land he had turned over with his own hands. He had planted the seedlings with his own hands. He had also watered and fertilized it. Yet, the cruel woman in front of him pulled it up and ate it as she pleased.

Only after working did I realize how hard it is to be a farmer. I have to tend to the crops in the field every day, but they are not worth much.

Seeing his still cold and expressionless face, Qin Yao had a terrible guess in her mind: could it be that this guy still has a childish nature and is reluctant to eat it?

Thinking of this, Qin Yao was happy, "Captain Gu, if we have a yard when we get married in the future, we can raise chickens in the yard. Instead of raising roosters, we can raise a few hens to lay eggs."

Gu Cheng wouldn't be like a child who is reluctant to eat the eggs laid by his own hens.

She was really curious about what Gu Cheng would be like when he became a father in the future. He would definitely not be more "naive" than a child.

Gu Cheng: "I am here, you can just give me orders."

"Nurse Xu said you're lazy, and she's not wrong."

"Isn't this land full of vegetables my credit?"

Qin Yao clicked his tongue: "You men only focus on yourselves, you can only see your own achievements, but not the efforts of others. How many times have you come to the fields?"

"Can I pay more attention to the vegetable garden in our yard in the future?" Gu Cheng curled the corners of his mouth, looking forward to the future more and more.

"Raise a few more hens. When you have a baby and are in confinement, I will kill the chickens myself and make soup for you to nourish your body."

Qin Yao's mouth twitched. How could this be different from what she had imagined? He was reluctant to eat the vegetables but was willing to kill the chickens he raised. How cruel!

She just talked about getting married, but this guy was already thinking about having a baby and taking care of the baby.

Gu Cheng: "Eating vegetable leaves won't make you fat, Yaoyao, you should eat more meat on a daily basis. You have lost so much weight since you came to the island. I will accompany you home to meet your parents in the future. Your future mother-in-law will blame me for being harsh on you."

"Did you not eat well in the cafeteria?"

Qin Yao was speechless and choked: "I'll eat, I won't starve myself, I'm still lazy, don't worry."

Gu Cheng said, "Let's go to Gao's house in a few days and buy some meat. I will cook for you myself."

Qin Yao: "...What do you want to do?"

"Dr. He just went to her house and cooked a dish, and she praised it highly. Why haven't I heard Chen Baozhen praise me in front of you? Isn't it just cooking? I can do it too."

Qin Yao was full of questions: "???"

No, what on earth is going on in your men’s heads?
