Chapter 493 A New Wife
After Yan Shaoyu was awarded the title, it was Gu Yuehuai's turn.
Hearing Xu Chuangu calling her name, Gu Yuehuai took a deep breath. Needless to say, this kind of big occasion was quite nervous. She stood out from the crowd and came to the front of the stage, listening to Xu Chuangu going through the process. The last thing she heard was "awarded the rank of lieutenant, and enjoy the treatment of deputy company level." She didn't understand much about this, but she knew it was very unusual just from what she heard.
For a military doctor like her, to receive such an honor is something that others cannot even imagine.
Xu Chuangu also gave her a service badge. A lieutenant military doctor who was only 19 years old, and a woman, this matter would be unbelievable wherever it spread, but every bit of work that Gu Yuehuai had done on the front line was real achievement!
Meng Hu, He Lanzhang and others also received awards for their ranks. One soldier after another from the 168th Platoon had rosy faces and became the focus of the ceremony. Even Li Dongdong looked at them with envy. It was amazing that a group of new recruits had made it so quickly.
After the awarding ceremony, the soldiers who had received vacation and honors set out on their journey home.
Yan Shaoyu was called away by Xu Chuangu, and Gu Yuehuai did not go with him. He returned to the temporary dormitory and prepared to pack up his things. It was time for them to go home. They left in such a hurry that their families must have been worried.
Thinking about having to face the anger of his father and brother after returning home, Gu Yuehuai felt a headache again.
She had just packed her things and cleaned up when Yan Shaoyu came back.
Since the end of the rank-awarding ceremony, she hadn't had time to say congratulations. Now that she saw him, she smiled and said, "Two bars and one star, comrade Major, how do you feel? Do you feel happy about getting a promotion and a pay raise?"
Yan Shaoyu looked at her leisurely, a smile on his lips, listened to her jokes, walked forward, put his arm around her waist, and whispered: "I didn't experience the joy of promotion and salary increase, but I am very satisfied with having a new daughter-in-law."
Gu Yuehuai blushed and secretly spat. This guy seemed to have broken some seal and was becoming more and more shameless.
However, looking up at his handsome, almost seductive eyes, she comforted herself, "Never mind, even if he is shameless, he is a shameless guy who can seduce people with his sex appeal. She is a lustful person and enjoys it."
She reached out and hugged his neck, pulled it down slightly, and bit his lips gently: "Go home!"
Yan Shaoyu lowered his eyes and met her smiling eyes, deepening the kiss. After a moment, a few words flowed out from his lips and teeth: "Okay, let's go home."

That day, Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu left the military area and boarded the train back to Qing'an County.
However, it was not until they got on the train that they learned about a major event through the discussions of others.
The victory of the war on the front line had been reported in newspapers, and the good news was spreading all over the country. At this time, the wheat was ripe, and the heavy ears of wheat made people all over the country smile, thinking that it was a good year. Unfortunately, a bolt from the blue suddenly came.
The locusts swept in like black fog, and wherever they passed, even the wheat stalks were eaten to pieces.
The common people cried out in despair, but they could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger. They rushed to harvest the wheat scattered on the fields, but the harvest was very little. Now, with bad news everywhere, this year was still a year of famine where people could not even get enough to eat!
With the outbreak of the locust plague, the number of people from all over the country flocking to Fengshi to buy food reached a new peak.
On the train, an elderly man held a newspaper in trembling hands, tears streaming down his face: "This God really doesn't give us ordinary people a way to survive! The situation has finally stabilized, do we have to flee from famine again?"
Gu Yuehuai felt heavy in his heart. He turned around and looked at Yan Shaoyu. His brows were tightly furrowed, and it was obvious that he also felt heavy and difficult about this situation. He didn't expect that while they were solving man-made disasters on the front line, a natural disaster occurred in the rear.
"I guess we have to go to Feng City." Gu Yuehuai took a deep breath and said.
The whole country is in chaos now, and the number of people rushing to buy food will only increase, not decrease. It is conceivable how much food will be consumed. She has been far away on the front line for a month. Even if there is an emergency in Feng City, not to mention Xing Jian, even her eldest brother Gu Tinghuai can't find her. She doesn't know what's happening with the grain street, and whether the remaining food can hold up.
Yan Shaoyu pursed his lips and nodded, and the two of them tacitly did not mention food.
Two days later, the train stopped at Fengshi Station.
Gu Yuehuai watched as the people in the carriage retreated like a tide and got off the train one after another. The originally crowded and narrow carriage suddenly became quiet, while outside the train was so crowded that it was difficult to move.
Her heart grew heavier, and she got off the train with Yan Shaoyu.
Yan Shaoyu was tall, and she used her arms to protect Gu Yuehuai as she squeezed out of the crowd, without anyone touching her at all.
As soon as they got out of the train station, they headed straight for Grain Street.
This road has the most people. Looking at the direction of the crowds, one can tell that everyone's destination is Grain Street. This is the first time Yan Shaoyu has seen such a situation. Even though he has known about Grain Street for a long time, he couldn't help but be surprised by the liveliness and popularity of this street.
When they arrived at Liang Street, Gu Yuehuai dragged Yan Shaoyu to look for acquaintances on Liang Street. Before she asked to see Gu Tinghuai and Xing Jian, the shop assistants on Liang Street recognized her and wanted to hug her thighs and cry.
"Sister Gu, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, our Grain Street would have been completely unsuccessful!"
The crying sound was just like a child without a mother. Gu Yuehuai breathed a sigh of relief: "Go and inform Xing Jian and Gu Tinghuai, and tell them that I'm waiting for them at the old warehouse. Ask someone to move the grain as soon as possible."
The man burst into laughter, and was so excited that he could not speak clearly. He could only say repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
Watching the man running away, Gu Yuehuai pulled Yan Shaoyu away from Liang Street and headed straight for the warehouse he rented in the countryside.
As soon as he was away from the crowd, Gu Yuehuai breathed a sigh of relief: "Due to the locust plague, the grain street has become more active."
Yan Shaoyu raised his hand and touched the top of her head, comforting her: "The food reserves in Xumi Space are huge, it should be enough to cope with it."
Gu Yuehuai nodded. She was not worried. This year's locust plague was the only natural disaster in the next few years. She would harvest a wave of winter grain at the end of the year. There was no need to worry about the grain reserves in the Xumi Space.
By next year, when the harvests in various places are in, the business in Grain Street will not be as popular as this year. However, I can still do grain business in the future. After all, the grain varieties in Xumi Space are of high quality, so it is not a problem to start a grain business.
After arriving at the warehouse in the countryside, Gu Yuehuai moved out all the stored grain in the Sumeru space.
Just as she filled the warehouse, Gu Tinghuai and Xing Jian arrived. They looked anxious, followed by a group of people. When Xing Jian saw Gu Yuehuai, he cried, "Sister Gu! My dear! Can you leave a message before you leave next time?"
Gu Yuehuai glanced at him and looked at Gu Tinghuai. Since coming to Feng City, the elder brother who used to be taciturn and only knew how to work hard seemed like a different person. He became more stable, but his aura was sharp and you could tell at a glance that he was not someone you would mess with.
In Feng City, he found his own value and was no longer the person who was at a loss about the future.
