Lu Zhixia thought the child was playing, but she had gone to do laundry. She went over to check the basin of clean clothes and thankfully hadn't changed the underwear.
"Why did you decide to do Mom's laundry?"
"I saw the clothes piled up there and thought I'd wash them, so I did!" Gu Huailin chuckled憨厚ly.
Su Lan looked at Gu Huailin and then thought about her two rascals at home. She was quite satisfied with the two children, but without comparison, there would be no hurt feelings.
"Xiaxia, I'm going back inside with my bag."
Lu Zhixia saw the person to the door, then turned back, picked up the basin, and went outside to hang the clothes to dry. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold, and these thin clothes would dry overnight.
When I came back after hanging up the laundry, I saw that my child had already made the bed and was lying there obediently.
Who wouldn't love such an adorable child?
I quickly closed the door, then lay down on the bed, and immediately the child rolled over to me.
"Mommy, can I cuddle with you while we sleep?"
"Okay." Lu Zhixia lowered her head and kissed her son's forehead. His little face was chubby and extremely cute.
"Mom, tell me a story!" Gu Huailin said, yawning.
Lu Zhixia then started telling stories again, but after only a few minutes, she saw the child fall asleep.
I tucked his arm under the blanket and saw his little hands were red.
Such a sensible child, it's so wonderful to be his mother!
I closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly. My train ticket is for the day after tomorrow, so I can spend another day with my child.

force.
Gu Lingxiao had just finished a training exercise. Seeing that everyone had performed well, he clapped his hands.
"Alright, you can rest here for a while now."
Everyone let out a howl and lay down on the ground. This kind of extreme training was really tiring. They just wanted to lie down, even if it was just for a few seconds.
Gu Lingxiao knew they were exhausted, so he simply turned away from them and looked down at his watch. He had originally planned to give them a 10-minute rest, but because of their actions, he decided to shorten it to 5 minutes.
A young soldier ran over and saluted, "Reporting, Captain Gu! Someone is looking for you at the door."
Gu Lingxiao frowned. "Is it a man or a woman?"
The young soldier stood at attention, "The other person was a man, about 1.8 meters tall, looked to be around 40 years old, had a refined appearance, and dressed like an intellectual."
After listening to his account, Gu Lingxiao couldn't figure out who it was, but as long as it wasn't Zhang Xuelian, it was fine.
The woman had been blocking the doorway before, but he hadn't seen her for the past few days, which made him feel uneasy.
He arrived at the gate of the military base and saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He recognized him immediately; it was the man from the train station that day.
"Comrade!" Fu Yi said, stepping forward warmly and trying to shake the other person's hands.
Gu Lingxiao felt the other person was being too enthusiastic, so he took a step back.
"I'm going back to my dorm to get my pocket watch."
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the door,” Fu Yi said happily.
Then he looked around and realized that the military site was nothing special.
If China were to develop like other countries, it probably couldn't even do it on a whirlwind!
Gu Lingxiao returned to his dormitory, took out a pocket watch from his drawer, and, thinking of the man's appearance, opened the pocket watch to take a closer look.
It was indeed the man's pocket watch, just as he was about to turn and leave.
A gust of wind blew the window open, and the picture frame on the table was blown off. He quickly went to catch the picture frame.
The pocket watch in his hand fell to the ground with a click.
He caught the picture frame, then looked at the pocket watch on the ground and discovered that the photo inside had fallen out.
There was a small note on the back of the pocket watch with a string of numbers written on it.
He bent down to pick up the pocket watch, and at the same time picked up the note.
Looking at the strange numbers on it, they didn't seem to be anyone's birthday, but rather some kind of password.
Judging from the man's clothing and speech, could there be something wrong with his identity?
His rush to retrieve the pocket watch must have been for more than just its value.
With that in mind, he decided not to return the pocket watch to that person, but to find out his identity first.
Thinking of this, he went to the door and said apologetically to the other person,
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake. The pocket watch isn't with me."
"Where is it!" Fu Yi exclaimed anxiously. "Didn't you find the pocket watch back then?"
"It's with my partner. I felt really bad thinking it was with me!" Gu Lingxiao said politely.
Fu Yi was so anxious he wanted to curse. He had been spending the last two days in bed with women and had almost forgotten about the pocket watch. In addition, he had spent too much money these past few days. If he didn't complete the mission, the second payment wouldn't be in his hands.
"When can I get the pocket watch?"
Gu Lingxiao: "I'm afraid you'll have to wait, my girlfriend has gone on a long trip."
Fu Yi exclaimed, "What a coincidence!" He pointed at the other person and said, "Did you get greedy because you saw the pocket watch was valuable?"
Gu Lingxiao said, "Comrade, I hope you will respect me. You can't just say whatever you want! Since I was willing to leave my address back then, it shows that we were willing to return the pocket watch!"
Fu Yi took a deep breath. "Could you give me a specific time?"
Gu Lingxiao said, "She will be back in no more than a week. I will go to her place and retrieve the pocket watch for you."
What could Fu Yi do? The other party's identity was clear. If he insisted on causing trouble, his own identity might be exposed, and then he would only be shot!
He could only blame his bad luck; he had to leave his pocket watch on the train, and this guy in front of him found it. Considering the other person's status, he changed his expression again.
