Gu Huailin looked up at his father with his little face and said, "I met a very nice aunt. She has a beautiful smile. If you absolutely have to have someone be my mother, can I ask her to be my mother?"
Gu Lingxiao hadn't expected his son, at such a young age, to be being asked to marry. He patted his son's head again.
“Child, I only like that aunt. I promise you, I will marry her after you two get along well. That way it will be fair to both of you.”
"Alright!" Gu Huailin said in a disappointed tone, "Actually, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as Dad is happy."
Gu Lingxiao bumped heads with his son, then picked up the child and placed him on his lap.
"It has to be that you're happy! Dad assures you, she's a really nice person, gentle and kind, and she has a beautiful smile."
"I'm actually looking forward to seeing what you mean," Gu Huailin said. "Which one is prettier, the auntie I mentioned?"
Gu Lingxiao laughed. How could a child's aesthetic sense be the same as an adult's? Today it's like this, tomorrow it's like this, and the day after tomorrow they'll forget about the person. He didn't take it to heart at all.
After having some fruit with the child, it was almost time, so I went inside to tell Ma Suzhen...
"Here are two jin of meat coupons. Please cook more meat for the children these days."
Seeing that there were more hostages, Ma Suzhen smiled, reached out and took the hostages. Just as she was about to give the usual lecture, she saw the man turn and leave.
She could only follow him to the door, watching the little guy wave goodbye reluctantly until he completely disappeared. Then she grabbed the child by the collar and dragged him back into the ground room.
The door slammed shut.
Then she started scolding the little one, "I'm telling you, next time your dad comes, you should make a scene and not let him find you a new mom!"
"Why?" Gu Huailin asked weakly.
"You don't need to worry about too much, just do as I say!" Ma Suzhen crossed her arms, thinking to herself that she would bring her younger sister over in a few days and then force them to have sex.
Soldiers value their reputation above all else; if they have questionable conduct, they can no longer serve in the military.
After Gu Lingxiao got into the car, he instructed Xiao Zhang to drive to the tenement building. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he saw Lu Zhixia getting out with her bag.
So he quickly opened the car door, went over and took the bag, and then the two of them got into the car together.
Xiao Zhang drove quickly to the train station. After parking the car, he turned around.
"Captain, when can I come pick you up?"
"I don't know when I'll be back, so don't worry about me. I'll take a car back to the unit when the time comes," Gu Lingxiao replied.
Xiao Zhang nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said to Lu Zhixia, "Sister, believe me, you will definitely succeed!"
Lu Zhixia said, "Thank you for your kind words. Be careful on your way back and drive carefully."
Xiao Zhang chuckled; he was certain this sister-in-law was the one.
Lu Zhixia got out of the car and took a few steps, then remembered Zhou An'an, so she turned back and said to Xiao Zhang,
"If you have time, please go and see An'an for me and tell her that I've gone on a long trip and will be back in a few days."
"Okay, I got it. I'll definitely pass on the message!" Xiao Zhang replied readily, now he had a reason to go see Zhou An'an.
Last time at the hotel, he was restless listening to the sound of water in the bathroom; it was the first time he had ever heard a girl taking a shower so closely.
Although I didn't see anything, it was even more unbearable than if I had.
He didn't tell anyone about this, for fear that his roommates would laugh at him!
They called him a greenhorn who couldn't do anything!

Gu Lingxiao used his military ID to buy two sleeper tickets, sat down at the train station, and spread out the two tickets in his palm.
"Whichever one you want, it's a lower bunk."
"I'll just grab any ticket." Lu Zhixia took the top ticket, looked down, and saw that it was indeed for a lower bunk.
"Buy a ticket when you come back too. It's so convenient to buy tickets with your ID, and there are even discounts."
"It's a pity they're not next to each other." Gu Lingxiao put the remaining ticket into his pocket.
"It's okay, it's only a dozen hours. I'll just be careful when I sleep," Lu Zhixia reassured him.
Gu Lingxiao stood up. "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy some."
Lu Zhixia patted the bag. "There are baked pancakes, salted duck eggs, chicken eggs, and a small jar of pickles in here. Sister Lan prepared them for us. It's enough to eat."
Gu Lingxiao: "Is there no fruit?"
Lu Zhixia thought for a moment and realized she had forgotten about the fruit, so she nodded to him.
"I forgot to pack it. Luckily, Sister Lan has the house key. She'll eat the fruit before it spoils, otherwise it'll be infested with bugs."
The thought of that scene sent chills down my spine. Thankfully, I was prepared. I patted my chest to reassure myself.
"If you're going to buy fruit, just buy a little bit. You don't need to buy too much, as it will spoil easily in the hot weather on the way."
"Okay, I'll see what I can do." Gu Lingxiao turned and left for the fruit stand outside the train.
Lu Zhixia felt quite reassured to have someone accompany her on the journey; otherwise, traveling alone to an unfamiliar place with an uncertain future would likely keep her awake all the way.
Gu Lingxiao quickly returned with the bag. "I only bought a few apples and bananas, not many."
Lu Zhixia glanced at the bag and realized there wasn't much left. This guy could be really obedient sometimes.
"This is enough for us to eat. Sit down and wait to get on the bus."
Gu Lingxiao sat down next to her, looking at her with deep affection in his eyes, wondering what opportunity to confess his feelings.
