Chapter 409 I'll wait for you at home
Cheng Gang chuckled, nodded towards Gu Yuehuai and said, "Cheng Gang, you can just call me Brother Gang. Shao Yu also calls me that. We have a good relationship in the team. Coming here is like going home. Don't be restrained."
Gu Yuehuai smiled, and without any hesitation, he said, "Brother Gang."
Cheng Gang nodded and said to Sister Cheng: "Okay, take Xiao Gu over and sit down and introduce him to the others." After that, he looked at Yan Shaoyu again: "Shaoyu, what are you still standing there for? Come on, let's take care of this rabbit."
Yan Shaoyu glanced at Gu Yuehuai, and when he saw her nod, he picked up the wild animal and walked aside with Cheng Gang.
Cheng Gang looked at Yan Shaoyu in surprise: "I didn't realize you were stingy and henpecked."
Yan Shaoyu didn't say anything. He picked up the knife and started to deal with the rabbit's fur neatly. With a few flicks of the knife, a complete rabbit skin was peeled off. This technique quickly attracted Cheng Gang's attention.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Yan Shaoyu became much more serious. This rookie king was really not just talk.
They were in the same group, and he had heard of Yan Shaoyu's name many times, but the relationship was actually a little different from what he said. He was a solitary person and seldom hung out with others, so it was very nice of him to just nod and say hello.
The reason he said that just now was because they were about to become close comrades-in-arms and face the flames of war.
Cheng Gang thought of the task he had just been assigned today, and his expression darkened. He handled the pheasant in his hand, without looking up, and said to Yan Shaoyu in a low voice: "How are you going to tell your partner?"
Yan Shaoyu's voice was calm, as if he was stating the truth: "Just say what you need to say."
Cheng Gang's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that calling him over to discuss countermeasures was completely a waste of time.
When the two men came back after processing the game, several people already had an aluminum lunch box in their hands and started to eat the seafood. The light salty smell, accompanied by the laughter around them, made Cheng Gang's originally tense mood relax a little.
Yan Shaoyu sat down next to Gu Yuehuai, and the latter extended his slender fingers to him.
He looked at the seashell being fed to his mouth, his ebony eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and swallowed it from her hand.
"Shao Yu and his sister-in-law have a really good relationship. They're getting married soon. Why don't we sing a song for them?" Sister-in-law Cheng was a person who could cheer people up. When she said that, several sisters-in-law couldn't help laughing.
For a moment, the singing of the brothers and sisters lingered around the campfire, making the atmosphere more relaxed.
Gu Yuehuai was clapping to the beat, her pretty face full of smiles.
After an unknown amount of time, a whistle sounded in the military district.
Cheng Gang grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it into the bonfire, saying, "Okay, that's all for today, let's go."
Gu Yuehuai looked up at him and pursed her lips slightly. Although the atmosphere was harmonious tonight, she could still see that Cheng Gang was worried. He looked at Mrs. Cheng from time to time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Everyone put out the bonfire, whispered a few words to their loved ones, and then left the temporary dormitory arm in arm.
The only ones present were Yan Shaoyu and Cheng Gang.
Mrs. Cheng seemed to have noticed something, her face became a little stiff, and she couldn't help looking at Cheng Gang with uneasiness: "Old Cheng, do you have something to tell me? I felt something was wrong with you tonight, what's going on?"
Yan Shaoyu reached out and held Gu Yuehuai, and walked aside without disturbing the couple.
Before Gu Yuehuai had taken a few steps, she heard Cheng Saozi's suppressed sobbing. She frowned slightly and said, "So, Brother Gang is also involved in this mission?"
Yan Shaoyu paused, knowing that he couldn't hide it from her, he hummed lightly: "He is a veteran, he has experience."
Gu Yuehuai didn't know what to say. The old soldiers were also mortals. Going to the front line was like hanging their heads on their belts. Even the most experienced soldiers could not say that they could come back from the front line safely.
She walked to the stairs, sat down on the steps, was silent for a while and said, "When are you leaving?"
Yan Shaoyu's Adam's apple rolled, and he sat beside her, his clear voice seemed to have a hint of hoarseness: "Tomorrow night."
Gu Yuehuai smiled: "You are really frugal with words. You won't say a few more words when you are about to leave?"
He paused, held her hand, and frowned at the cold touch. He said, "Go sign tomorrow morning."
This irrelevant remark made Gu Yuehuai curl her lips. She tilted her head to look at him, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "How can you be like this? You are about to go to the front line, but you still want me to sign the marriage report."
Yan Shaoyu was silent for a moment, and tightened his arms around Gu Yuehuai, his tone filled with a bit of uncontrollable emotion: "I will definitely come back alive, definitely."
Gu Yuehuai didn't smile this time. She lowered her eyelids and held Yan Shaoyu's hand back: "Where are we going?"
Yan Shaoyu did not hide it: "The border of Country M."
Although his words were concise, Gu Yuehuai also sensed something different from this. She frowned and asked, "Have you investigated it clearly? The people who took action in the Municipal Party Committee compound were from Country M?"
Speaking of this, Yan Shaoyu's eyes turned cold: "Well, they are restless and causing trouble on the border. The Eighth Military Region is closest to Country M, and the matter of the Municipal Party Committee compound needs to be resolved, so this mission was assigned."
His eyes were gloomy and his tone was a little bad.
Originally he could have been approved for marriage leave, but this temporary assignment disrupted his plans and he had to go to the front line.
He exhaled lightly, looked sideways at Gu Yuehuai, and said in a low, hoarse voice with some apology: "I'm sorry."
Gu Yuehuai shook her head, knowing that he was apologizing for going back to take on the mission at noon today, and also apologizing for not being able to go back with her. Given his temper, being able to say these things to her was already a great improvement.
She looked back, smiled and pinched his handsome cheek: "Do your best and come back alive. I don't want to become a widow just after filing the marriage report. I'll wait for you at home and come back with you after the wedding."
Yan Shaoyu looked at her with unexpected tenderness, and he replied solemnly, "Okay."
He was not a talkative man, and she was very satisfied with what he said. She didn't remember whether there was such a mission, but she was sure that this trip was safe and he would definitely come back alive.
Although some things in this life changed because of her, there were very few accidents involving Yan Shaoyu. Since he was able to live safely for several decades in his previous life, there would be no problem in this life.
However, we still need to prepare some more space well water for him tonight, just in case.
While deep in thought, Gu Yuehuai suddenly thought of Meng Hu, whom she met at noon today. She knew his ending, but she didn't know when he died. She didn't know if he was among the targets of this mission.
Thinking of Yan Shaoyu's depressed look in her previous life, she still asked, "Will Meng Hu participate in this operation?"
Yan Shaoyu was slightly stunned, not understanding why she suddenly mentioned Meng Hu.
