Chapter 245: In my previous life, why was I so reserved?

Lu Jiansen smiled and hooked his fingers lightly, gently curling her long hair, "Next time I will help you pour the bath water for convenience."

Gu Xiaoxi looked at him helplessly, "Okay! From now on, I'll leave the bath water for you to pour."

"The troops will be setting up the New Year's Eve dinner venue this afternoon. I have nothing else to do, mainly to supervise and direct. If you have nothing to do, you can come over and play."

"Is it okay?" Gu Xiaoxi blinked.

"Okay. Just follow me." Lu Jiansen rubbed her head lovingly.

"Okay. I'll tell my parents."

Gu Xiaoxi also wanted to go out for a walk, so he immediately went to tell his grandfather and his parents.

Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "Go ahead! Wear something thicker."

Jiang Xiuqing also nodded, "Yes, wear something warm before going out. We can warm ourselves by the fire and eat snacks at home."

Although Qingbei is cold, the house is warm because the kang is heated!

She doesn't want to go out at all!

Twenty minutes later, Gu Xiaoxi wrapped herself tightly and left with Lu Jiansen.

…

force office.

Gu Xiaoxi thought he could spend the whole afternoon with Lu Jiansen, but after only half an hour, Lu Jiansen was called away by the leader of the unit.

Then, she stayed alone in Lu Jiansen's office.

Half an hour later, Lu Jiansen came back.

But within twenty minutes, he was called away again.

Well! She shouldn't have come!

When Lu Jiansen came back, a beautiful girl in military uniform followed him.

But when she saw the person clearly, her eyes changed slightly.

It’s Ding Lanyi!

When Ding Lanyi saw Gu Xiaoxi, she smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Hello, Xiaoxi!"

Gu Xiaoxi blinked and said, "Hello!"

Lu Jiansen explained to his wife, "She is from the art troupe, and there will be a performance here on New Year's Eve. Your brother asked me to bring her here to keep you company!"

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked bluntly, "Are you dating my brother?"

Although Ding Lanyi was a little embarrassed, she still nodded.

"Yes. We just confirmed our relationship not long ago. When you went to the free clinic."

Gu Xiaoxi said "Oh" unexpectedly.

"So that's how it is! My brother did a good job of keeping it a secret."

She thought that her brother confirmed the relationship so quickly because he hoped to meet Ding Lanyi through his grandfather and parents coming to Qingbei!

Ding Lanyi felt somewhat uncomfortable when facing Gu Xiaoxi.

After a long silence, she whispered, "Your brother wants to take me to your house tonight. I'm actually a little worried, so I want to hear your opinion!"

Gu Xiaoxi was a little helpless. "If you are dating, then meet my parents! What's so good about my opinion? What's important is my brother's attitude."

After all, she was the woman her brother had loved in his whole life!

After all these twists and turns, I finally got together with her!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at Lu Jiansen who was pouring water for her.

Why was she so reserved in her previous life? Why didn't anything happen between her and Lu Jiansen?

Seeing his little girl looking at him, Lu Jiansen said softly, "Let me make you some milk powder!"

As he spoke, he walked to the table, took out a small can, poured two spoonfuls of milk powder into the cup, and then stirred it carefully.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at him curiously, "You even put milk powder in your office!

"I put it there especially for you. I was thinking about when you would come." Lu Jiansen smiled and gently rubbed her head.

After the milk powder was ready and at the right temperature, he handed it to her, "Drink slowly! I'm going to go to the playground and take a look. I'll be back soon."

"Oh!" Gu Xiaoxi took a sip slowly.

After Lu Jiansen left, Ding Lanyi said enviously, "Deputy Commander Lu may look cold, but he is really nice to you and very considerate!"

"My brother is very considerate when he needs to be. After you and my brother met our parents, do you have any other plans? Are you planning to get married?"

Ding Lanyi's expression froze for a moment, and she said after a while, "If your parents agree to let me live with my sister's child, I will agree to get married."

Having said this, her eyes suddenly turned red and she continued with a choked voice.

"The child is not in good health. My mother took him to the hospital several times in the middle of the night. Now my mother is not in good health and can no longer take care of the child. So, I want to take care of the child myself. Do you think your parents will agree to let me take care of the child?"

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned when she heard this. "The child is still so young. Do you want to give up your job and take care of the child?"

Ding Lanyi was also startled, and then said awkwardly: "Do you think it is possible for your mother to come to Qingbei to help us take care of the children?"

She herself has never thought of giving up her job.

When Gu Xiaoxi saw that she had taken her mother into account and that her marriage to her brother was conditional, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

However, she didn't say anything unpleasant, but she instantly lost interest in talking to Ding Lanyi.

Fortunately, just as she finished drinking the milk powder prepared by Lu Jiansen, Li Kun came in.

"Sister-in-law, can you cut out Chinese characters for wedding? A military wife from the second regiment next door cut out beautiful Chinese characters for the newlyweds there, but the people who were decorating the venue were so arrogant! They refused to give up even one Chinese character for us."

Gu Xiaoxi was just about to say that she knew how to cut, but had never cut a wedding character, when suddenly a line of large golden characters passed before her eyes.

Paper Cutting Master (needs 2 points of merit)

Gu Xiaoxi blinked, silently consumed 2 merit points, and then looked at Li Kun.

"I can cut it. Do you have red paper?"

"I'll get it right away!" Li Kun was happy and immediately ran to get the scissors and red paper.

Ding Lanyi smiled and said, "I can also cut the Chinese characters for "happiness". When my sister got married, I cut the Chinese characters for "happiness" that were pasted at home."

As soon as she finished speaking, her expression suddenly froze, and she seemed a little annoyed that she had replied to this question.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled calmly, "Let Li Kun get a pair of scissors so we can cut out more wedding characters."

Li Kun came quickly, bringing a thick stack of red paper and a pair of sharp scissors.

After that he didn't leave, he just watched from the side.

When his sister-in-law cut out a red wedding character, he showed it off.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at Li Kun's expression and said with a smile, "Comrade Ding Lanyi can also cut hair. Go find a pair of scissors."

Li Kun scratched his head and said, "The other scissors were taken away by the people from the second group. I had to snatch this one."

"There are some where I live. I'll go get them." Ding Lanyi stood up and prepared to get the scissors.

Gu Xiaoxi did not stop her. She cleared the clutter on the table and prepared to spread red paper and fold red towels.

After gesturing for a while, she looked at Li Kun and asked, "How big do you want the wedding character to be?"

"The bigger the better! It'd better be bigger than the second group's!" Li Kun said, and made a gesture.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "Okay! Let's cut the big one first."

She picked out a piece of red paper, folded it quickly a few times, and started cutting with a pair of scissors.

Li Kun didn't understand how they stacked the scissors, but he felt that the scissors were particularly obedient in his sister-in-law's hands and were very smooth to use.
