Chapter 405 Marriage Leave
When approaching Xu Chuangu's residence, Gu Yuehuai asked curiously: "Shao Yu, didn't Uncle Xu marry a wife?"
Yan Shaoyu pursed his lips and said, "I married one in my early years, but she died after falling ill, and Uncle Xu never married again after that."
Gu Yuehuai nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Does he have any children?"
Everyone cares about continuing the family line. Even though women now hold up half the sky, in the eyes of men, their greatest use is still to give birth to children. This is true for ordinary people, let alone Xu Chuangu who holds military power.
If he had no children, his colleagues would surely laugh at him behind his back for not having a successor.
Yan Shaoyu shook his head, not feeling that there was anything difficult to say: "No."
Gu Yuehuai was speechless. Thinking of Xu Chuangu's attitude when he mentioned Yan Shaoyu's mother Ji Qing, he knew that the love, hatred and grudges of the previous generation were very interesting, otherwise Xu Chuangu would not have no plans to get married until today.
Although he is old, he is in good physical condition and can definitely have a child if he really wants to.
As we were talking, we arrived.
Yan Shaoyu walked up and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a soldier with one eye blind, who was about the same age as Xu Chuangu.
"Shao Yu is here." He smiled when he saw Yan Shao Yu, his brows full of gentleness towards the younger generation. After greeting him, he looked at Gu Yuehuai and said, "This is Comrade Gu, right? Come in quickly, the commander is waiting."
Gu Yuehuai smiled at him, but didn't know what to call him, so he didn't speak rashly.
Yan Shaoyu said calmly, "This is Uncle Ping, a lieutenant beside my father. However, he went to the battlefield and was blinded in one eye by the enemy, and both ears were deafened by artillery shells. However, he was lucky and survived. My father originally arranged for him to go home and retire, but he didn't have any family, so he stayed in the army."
Just a few short sentences revealed the cruelty of the battlefield, but Uncle Ping in front of us is still a lucky man, but what about the unfortunate one?
Gu Yuehuai didn't say anything, but the smile on his face became warmer, and he walked in first.
Yan Shaoyu had a complicated look in his eyes and followed him in.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Yuehuai saw Xu Chuangu sitting on the sofa, wearing glasses and reading a newspaper. He looked good, with a thin blanket draped over his lower abdomen. One could hardly tell that he had experienced a thrilling assassination yesterday.
She called softly, "Uncle Xu."
Xu Chuangu put down the newspaper, looked up at Gu Yuehuai, and said with a smile: "Come on, sit down."
Gu Yuehuai nodded and waved to Yan Shaoyu. He was not at all reserved. He walked over and sat next to Gu Yuehuai. He put the eggs on the coffee table and said, "Uncle Xu, Yuehuai is hungry."
Xu Chuangu was stunned, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, now that you have a partner, you can care about others."
He shook his head, made a gesture to Uncle Ping, and went to the kitchen. Soon, several aluminum lunch boxes were placed on the table. They were filled with hot meals, a combination of meat and vegetables, all prepared today by the canteen's chef.
Xu Chuangu looked at the eggs on the coffee table and said gently, "Xiao Gu, did you bring this?"
Gu Yuehuai thought for a moment and curved his lips and said, "Shao Yu and I brought this together. Uncle Xu should eat it to replenish his body."
She was not lying. The quality of eggs produced in the space was far better than ordinary eggs, and the taste was different too.
"Haha, you don't need to bring this brat with you. He comes five times a month and never brings anything. He always leaves after eating. As expected, a daughter is still considerate. After joining the army, she often comes to visit me."
Xu Chuangu had a smile on his face and looked at Yue Huai with a very kind look, as he was worried that she would be bored after arriving at the military region.
Gu Yuehuai's eyes sparkled, and he smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Xu, please don't find me annoying when the time comes."
"Let's go and eat." Xu Chuangu stood up with a smile and walked to the dining table with the help of Uncle Ping.
Yan Shaoyu also walked over with Gu Yuehuai. After sitting down, she looked at the rice and dishes on the table and was a little surprised. She thought the conditions were difficult and the food in the cafeteria was very simple. She didn't expect there were fish and shrimps.
But on second thought, the island lacks everything except fish and shrimp, so it is understandable.
That’s right, the dishes in the aluminum lunch box are all seafood, fish, shrimp, and scallops. It looks very rich, but there are not many vegetables.
Although Uncle Ping couldn't hear, he saw Yue Huai's curious eyes and said, "The commander specially invited you here today. Knowing that you were born inland and have never eaten seafood, he asked someone to make some. Try it and see if it suits your appetite."
He was grateful and liked Gu Yuehuai. He had heard about what happened yesterday. If it weren't for this little girl's prompt decision, the leader would not have been able to come back safely. It must be said that this girl was courageous, like Ji Qing.
Thinking of Ji Qing and Yan Shouzhi, Uncle Ping's eyes dimmed, but he said nothing more and had a smile on his face.
Gu Yuehuai's eyes curved as he picked up his chopsticks happily: "Thank you Uncle Xu and Uncle Ping."
She tasted it and found it very fresh, without any seasoning, and had a delicious flavor. She began to envy the garrison troops on the island, but then she became happy again when she thought that she would soon be able to enjoy such a life.
After dinner, Gu Yuehuai checked Xu Chuangu's wound again. It was recovering well and it looked like it would not be infected.
She maintained a doctor's optimistic attitude and said, "Uncle Xu is in good health and will be back to full health soon."
Hearing this, Xu Chuangu burst into laughter. The word "lively and energetic" seemed a bit inappropriate to describe him.
A smile also flashed in Yan Shaoyu's eyes. Being with her, every day was so joyful.
Xu Chuangu took a sip of water and chatted with Gu Yuehuai: "We can't live in the temporary dormitory for long. Xiao Gu, when do you plan to report to the army?"
Gu Yuehuai blinked, "I came here to file a marriage report. Uncle Xu, can you help me get through the back door? As for reporting to the army, I have to go home and report to my dad. Otherwise, if I don't tell him, he will definitely think that I was kidnapped. When he reports to the police to find me, it will cause trouble for Uncle Xu, right?"
Xu Chuangu smiled and shook his head: "Can you get a backdoor by filing a marriage report?"
Gu Yuehuai said seriously: "I heard from Shao Yu that there are several procedures for filing a marriage report. It's quite troublesome. It will take a month to get the marriage certificate. What do you think? Why don't we save all this?"
Yan Shaoyu's eyelids twitched. He never expected that Gu Yuehuai would have such thoughts.
Xu Chuangu was also stunned by her words. After a long while, he looked at Gu Yuehuai with an indescribable look and said in a complicated tone: "Xiao Gu, you are a little girl, why are you more anxious than a man? No, this process can't be skipped."
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai's face fell and he sighed: "Okay, okay, let's wait a little longer."
Xu Chuangu was so amused by her that he changed the subject and said, "Although I can't help you get a backdoor in the marriage report, I can approve marriage leave for Shao Yu and let him go back with you and do background checks at the same time?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Yuehuai's expression changed from worry to joy. He got married and conducted a social survey on his own. He was really abusing his power for personal gain.
