Chapter 206 Married Man
Gu Qingye had a blank expression on his face: "I didn't notice."
Why would he stare at a female comrade he didn't know for no reason? He would just glance at her and not look at her any further.
Lu Youyou didn't ask any more questions, but suddenly she thought of him thanking her in public, and the feeling of blushing came back.
"Why did you mention my name? Do you know that I wanted to crawl under the table at that moment?"
"If possible, I would actually like you to go on stage with me to receive the award."
Lu Youyou's eyes widened. You must have restrained yourself before?!
She paused and decided to skip this topic: "When are you leaving?"
The smile on Gu Qingye's face disappeared: "I'm leaving tonight."
I still have a few reports to give and will be traveling around, so the next few months will be very busy.
Although Lu Youyou had been mentally prepared, she still couldn't help feeling depressed when the time of separation came.
"Can I take you there?"
Gu Qingye shook his head: "We have a meeting later, and we will set off after dinner."
He also wanted to stay with Lu Youyou for a while longer, but since it was a group action, he couldn't be alone with his family.
The military trucks were already lined up on the side of the road, and the two of them only had this last stretch of time to spend together.
There was no extra time to express their true feelings. The two were half an arm's length apart and could no longer hug each other.
"Take good care of yourself. I will write to you and call you. I will come to Beijing to see you when I have the chance... Youyou, wait for me!"
"Well, the same goes for you. Don't take advantage of your good health and don't care. I saved your life, so I have the final say!"
Gu Qingye raised the corners of his lips and saluted: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
Lu Youyou stood by the roadside, silently watching Gu Qingye's departing back.
On the other side, Gu Hongying and Qin Changling were looking in the same direction.
Gu Hongying looked hopeful and couldn't help but sigh: "Heroic sons and daughters should be like this!"
Qin Changling looked at her helplessly. The little girl wanted to be a soldier since she was young. She wasn't even a cultural soldier, but she wanted to go into the battlefield and kill the enemy.
He and Gu Hongying's father Gu Bohuai are old comrades-in-arms. He has watched Gu Hongying grow up since she was a child. Gu Bohuai is going to inspect the border, and his daughter has mentioned many times that she wants to meet the combat hero, so he asks him to bring his daughter to the venue to take a look.
The most prominent person at this commendation meeting was undoubtedly Gu Qingye. It was no surprise that Gu Hongying admired him.
Qin Changling looked outside the car. Not far away, Gu Qingye was talking to Wang Guangyu, facing this sideways. He suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he had seen them somewhere.
"Uncle Qin, does the special forces recruit female soldiers? Do you think I can go?"
Qin Changling's thoughts were interrupted. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't bear to destroy the little girl's dream.
"Then you have to keep working hard. The selection criteria for the special forces are one in a million."
Gu Hongying held her head high and said, "I'll work hard. I'm not afraid of hardship!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she became depressed: "Oh, my mother won't agree..."
Once Gu Hongying had this idea, she could no longer suppress it.
As soon as she got home, she rushed to her mother Du Shuang and started praising Gu Qingye.
Du Shuang didn't take it seriously at first, but Gu Hongying talked for twenty minutes straight. She had a really good memory and actually remembered most of the report content.
With his majestic appearance, decisive character, and astonishing deeds, Gu Qingye in Gu Hongying's words is like a god from heaven.
Du Shuang frowned slightly: "Which unit is that Gu Sheye from? How old is he? Where is he from?"
Gu Hongying told the story one by one, completely unaware that her mother had already got the wrong idea.
Du Shuang was suddenly stunned, unable to believe: "He's already married?"
She pulled Gu Hongying over, stared at her face and said, "Why are you paying so much attention to a married man? Aren't you afraid of gossip?"
Gu Hongying was so frightened that her breath got stuck in her chest and her face turned red.
"Mom, what are you talking about! Comrade Gu is a war hero, and his wife is also a specially hired expert at the institute. What do you mean by a married man? What are you thinking about?!"
Du Shuang's brows were still furrowed as she looked at her carefully for a while. "Who are you? How can you not be careful in your conduct? Don't worry about being a hero or not. Just stay away from them. If someone spreads the word, it will have a bad impact!"
Gu Hongying was embarrassed and angry, and stood up: "Why can't I be involved? I still want to join the special forces. I'm going to fight. Who dares to say anything?"
Du Shuang slapped the table and said, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting like a little girl?"
At this moment, a casual voice sounded at the door.
"Hey, sister, why did you make mom angry again? Look at you, I don't know what you're doing all day long."
Du Shuang's expression eased a lot when he saw the person coming: "You are back from the expedition. Have you eaten?"
Gu Yuanzheng leaned on the sofa and picked up an orange from the fruit bowl and threw it around: "No, I have no appetite."
Du Shuang stood up immediately: "I made pork stew today, how about I make you a bowl of noodles?"
Gu Yuanzheng waved his hand nonchalantly: "Whatever."
When Du Shuang turned around, she saw that Gu Hongying's expression had changed again, and she dragged her towards the kitchen.
"Come with me. I really need to talk to you. If you're not careful, you'll get into trouble and cause your dad and brother to embarrass themselves in public..."
Gu Hongying has a straightforward personality. She was already angry because she was misunderstood by her own mother, and she couldn't stand it when she heard these words.
Glancing at Gu Yuanzheng who was sitting awkwardly, she couldn't understand why she had such a useless brother.
"Mom, if you want to blame my dad, that's fine, but you're saying I'm getting him into trouble?" Gu Hongying pointed at Gu Yuanzheng and said, "What's wrong with him that's worthy of me getting him into trouble?!"
How can Gu Yuanzheng compare with a combat hero?
His father asked him to join the army, but he couldn't stand the hardship and insisted on retiring. So he was allowed to retire. The work arranged by his uncle was also intermittent, and he was always late or left early.
My mother is the same. She wants to join the front-line combat troops, but why can't she? She is in the art troupe every day, and she has no interest in singing or dancing.
Gu Hongying took out a newspaper from her bag and put it in front of Gu Yuanzheng.
"Look at him, then look at you. I don't even think you're causing trouble for me. We both have the last name Gu, so why is there such a big difference?!"
Gu Yuanzheng was criticized for no reason and was very angry. What is this Gu and that Gu? He wanted to see what it was!
However, before he could take a look, Du Shuang suddenly rushed over, grabbed the newspaper, looked at the photo on it, and his expression changed again and again.
The black and white picture was not very clear, but she still found the face among the people in the photo at a glance.
For some reason, he looked familiar, and her heart was inexplicably gripped.
She was eager to see what was written on the newspaper, but the Chinese characters seemed to have grown legs and she couldn't read them even after concentrating for a long time.
Du Shuang took several deep breaths and finally calmed down.
Gu Qingye...
