Chapter 48 Jealousy
Having been exhausted over the past two days, and having just worked up a sweat cleaning the house, Lin Yunxi went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, and then went to the bathroom to take a hot bath.
Gu Zheng’s solution was even simpler. He simply took off his shirt and stood in the yard to wash it with well water.
"Gurgle, gurgle..." Lin Yunxi's stomach protested.
It was just time for lunch, so Lin Yunxi simply woke up Yanyan, and the family of three walked towards the cafeteria.
The tables and chairs in the army canteen were neatly arranged, and the cement floor was mopped to a shine.
At this moment, the soldiers had already started eating. There were eight people at each table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, and the staple food was multi-grain steamed buns.
They ate heartily and listened to people chatting, and it looked very lively.
Gu Zheng brought Lin Yunxi to the window, ordered two dishes and three steamed buns, and found an empty table in the corner to sit down.
The lunch consisted of cabbage and tofu stew and multi-grain steamed buns. Yanyan was not used to it and turned away after taking two bites.
Seeing that he was surrounded by soldiers wearing olive green uniforms, he was not afraid at all and walked into the crowd with his calves.
Lin Yunxi followed him. This was a military base, so there was no need to worry about any danger.
Lin Yunxi thought the meal was a bit bland, with almost no grease, but the soldiers around him seemed to be enjoying the meal.
She was really infected and finally finished eating it all.
The familiar saying "If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your thinking" first came from the army.
It is undoubtedly a true portrayal of the extreme scarcity of supplies in that era and the soldiers' optimistic attitude.
After the two finished their meal, Yanyan had become familiar with the soldiers and kept calling them "big brother".
These soldiers spend their days training and nothing else to entertain themselves.
So when seeing such a cute and friendly child, everyone wants to go up and tease him or her and call him brother.
Many people even took out the snacks hidden in their pockets to feed the animals.
Yanyan accepted all the food and his stomach was probably full by now.
"Yanyan, let's go home." Lin Yunxi shouted to the little guy who was having fun not far away.
When Yanyan heard her mother's voice, she turned around and said goodbye to the older brothers she had just met.
At this time, everyone noticed Lin Yunxi, who was standing aside with a smile on her face and a delicate appearance, and they immediately started whispering to each other.
Everyone guessed whose family the person was and why they had never seen him before.
Moreover, she doesn't look like the child's mother, but more like a sister, and everyone's eyes were filled with the urge to try.
Gu Zheng, who had just returned the meal, happened to see this scene. He put his tongue against his cheek and cursed inwardly: These beasts.
Then he stood beside his wife openly and took her into his territory.
The soldiers who were full of fighting spirit just now instantly lost their arrogance when they saw the living devil standing next to Lin Yunxi.
Even though she was their younger sister, they didn't dare to approach her and talk to her unless they wanted to receive special attention during the next training.
But there was indeed a new recruit who was not afraid of death and did not understand how terrifying Gu Zheng was, so he stepped forward and asked hesitantly.
"Captain, is this your sister?"
Gu Zheng suddenly laughed out of anger. His back teeth were almost broken. He gritted his teeth and replied, "This is my wife! Do you have any objection?"
"No, no." The recruit stammered in fear.
"Very good, I'll remember you." Then he looked back with a sharp look.
The soldiers who were watching the excitement saw that the fire was about to burn themselves, so they quickly stood up and shouted, "Hello, Battalion Commander, Hello, sister-in-law."
The sound was deafening, and Lin Yunxi was startled for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Hello."
On the way back, Gu Zheng said nothing and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
After arriving home, Lin Yunxi made a cup of milk for Yanyan, adding half of spiritual spring water to it to relieve fatigue.
Although he slept for a few hours in the morning, his little face still looked a little sallow.
Lin Yunxi felt a little distressed and thought that she must give her son some good nourishment in the next few days.
After coaxing Yanyan to sleep, Lin Yunxi quietly closed the door, and the next moment she saw Gu Zheng looking at her with an accusing look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yunxi asked puzzledly with a pair of watery and innocent eyes.
After the two looked at each other for a moment, Gu Zheng gave in, sighed, walked up to her, hugged her in his arms and sat down.
The two of them were facing each other, nose to nose, in an extremely intimate posture.
He said in a muffled voice, "I really want to hide you in my pocket so that only I can see you."
When he was in his hometown, everyone was from the same village and knew each other well, so Gu Zheng never paid attention to these problems.
But it’s different now. There are more men than women in the army. Judging from his wife’s appearance, who knows if some blind man will come up to her and chat with her one day.
The scene in the cafeteria just now had already made him feel a little bit of crisis.
Who would have thought that Captain Gu, who was a tough and serious person outside, would act like a spoiled child in front of his wife.
It turned out that he was jealous. Lin Yunxi touched his crew cut soothingly, feeling the hard stubble scratching against her palm, which made her feel itchy.
She rubbed the tip of the man's nose lovingly, her eyebrows curved and her smile brilliant, as warm as the warm sun in winter.
"Okay, okay, stop looking so cold. I have no plans to change my husband at the moment."
"Besides, my husband is so capable. He became a battalion commander at such a young age. He has a bright future ahead of him."
"Not only that, he's also very handsome and elegant. I'm already liking him, so how could I be attracted to someone else?"
The smile on Gu Zheng's face grew bigger as he listened to the end.
"It turns out that I have such a good image in your heart, my wife."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. The love in his eyes was deep and heavy. His heart was moved and he couldn't help but kiss her rosy and soft lips.
The kiss was long and lingering, soft and sweet like cotton candy, so light that it seemed like a quick taste.
But he slowly increased his strength, making the kiss so confusing, and his gentleness melted Lin Yunxi's bones, making her feel like she was melting.
After the kiss, Lin Yunxi panted and said, "Aren't we going back to report for leave this afternoon? Go quickly, don't be late."
Gu Zheng finally understood the feeling of a king no longer attending court early in the morning. He kissed Lin Yunxi's forehead lovingly.
"Okay, have a good sleep this afternoon. The state-owned store is about 500 meters east of the military district gate."
"Just cook some simple meals in the evening. There's some rice and flour in the kitchen, so you don't have to buy any."
Lin Yunxi nodded and said with a smile: "I know, I will watch and do it, and I won't tire myself out."
In addition, his wife had just arrived and was definitely not familiar with the complex interpersonal relationships within the military region.
Before leaving, Gu Zheng said, "Sister-in-law Zhao is a warm-hearted person. If I don't come back, you can ask her for help if you have any problem."
"good."
