Chapter 248 Dad, Why Are You Here?
After Yu Hui came back from the toilet, she lay on her side against the wall and slept, fearing that she would fall asleep and unconsciously hug Gu Huai's arm again.
Gu Huai: ...As expected.
Later, Yu Hui didn't hug Gu Huai's arm. He got up at a little after five o'clock.
As soon as she got up in the morning, Gu Qiuyan packed her things, did morning exercises, had breakfast, and couldn't wait to get on the bus to the city.
The bus went to the city and then transferred to a bus to the military district’s family compound.
Around eleven o'clock, Gu Qiuyan squeezed off the bus carrying a military green handbag.
"Hey, you are the niece of Deputy Commander Gu, right?" The military family members waiting for the bus at the bus stop recognized her.
"It's me." Gu Qiuyan grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth.
Because the skin has become much darker, the teeth look whiter.
"Your hair is shorter and your skin is darker. I almost didn't recognize you in such a smart military uniform." The military family looked Gu Qiuyan up and down.
"Well, Auntie, I'm going home first." After saying that, Gu Qiuyan waved to everyone and trotted towards the staff quarters.
The soldier's family watched her leave and muttered to themselves, "The army is really good at training people. This country girl has become a different person in an instant."
Although he is darker, his mental outlook is different.
After jogging all the way to the gate of the military family compound, Gu Qiuyan saw a grocery store nearby and wanted to buy some candy and biscuits for her younger brothers and sisters.
After turning around and walking a few steps, I saw a middle-aged man with a very familiar figure standing not far away.
"That shouldn't be the case..." She was about to look away when the middle-aged man turned around and said, "Dad?!"
How could her father be here? Her father didn’t say that her father was here.
When she decided to come back for the holiday, she called her father, who told her to come back directly and didn't say anything else.
Gu He looked at the short-haired girl in military uniform not far away, and was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant to recognize her, "Qiu, Qiuyan?"
"Dad, it's really you." Gu Qiuyan ran to Gu He and looked him up and down. "When did you come?"
Gu He did not answer. Instead, he looked his daughter up and down, left and right, patted her arm, and grinned, "My daughter is so cool." The word "cool" means heroic and valiant.
The arms are hard and full of muscles.
Gu Qiuyan raised her chin when she heard this, "Of course, when I was in the recruit company, I was the top recruit."
Whether it is field training, fighting, shooting, or obstacle running, she always comes in first.
"Awesome, you really make your dad proud." Gu He felt extremely proud.
"Dad, you haven't told me yet, why are you here?"
"Sister Qiuyan." As soon as Gu Qiuyan finished speaking, Gu Xixi ran over and hugged her legs.
"Xixi." Gu Qiuyan's eyes lit up. She bent down, picked up Gu Xixi, kissed her, and then put her down.
"Sister Qiuyan." Then Gu Dong, Gu Nan and the two brothers Yu Jianshe also ran out of the noodle shop and surrounded them.
Gu Qiuyan first responded with a smile, then asked curiously, "Why are you all here?"
Gu Dong pointed and said, "We are all helping out at the noodle shop."
"Noodle shop?" Gu Qiuyan looked in the direction of Gu Dong's finger, and then she noticed that there was not only a noodle shop here, but also a bun shop.
"Sister Xiaohui really opened a noodle shop?" she blurted out when she saw the noodle shop.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head.
"You have no respect for your elders. What sister Xiaohui? She is your mother now." Gu He scolded with a stern face.
Gu Qiuyan stuck out her tongue and changed her tone, "Did my mom really open a noodle shop?"
"It's been open for almost a month." said Gu Dong.
"Sister Qiuyan, come into the noodle shop quickly and let your mother make you some noodles. The braised pork intestine noodles are delicious." Gu Nan pulled Gu Qiuyan's sleeve and pulled her into the noodle shop.
When Gu Qiuyan entered the noodle shop, she not only saw her mother, but also saw an unexpected person.
"Aunt! Why are you here too?" The girl's tone was full of surprise.
Gu Hongmei smiled and said, "Your mother is too busy, I'll come and help her."
"What about my uncle and you working at the garment factory?"
It would be nice to come and help my mother, but how could she bear to leave her uncle and his job at the garment factory?
"We'll talk about this when we get back." Yu Hui smiled and changed the subject. "You must be thirsty and tired after the long journey back. Let's sit down and rest for a while and drink some water."
Yu Jianshe poured the water and handed it to Gu Qiuyan.
The latter held the water cup, sat on the stool, and drank it all in one breath.
She was really thirsty after not having water for so long.
"Jiejie..." A pair of small hands rested on Gu Qiuyan's knees.
When she lowered her head, she saw Beibei's soft little face. After more than a month of not seeing him, Beibei's face had become rounder and even cuter.
"Oh, Beibei." Gu Qiuyan put down the cup, picked up Beibei and put her nose against her soft cheek and sniffed.
The little baby still has the scent of milk.
Beibei giggled as she sucked him.
People who wanted to eat noodles would be arriving soon, so Yu Hui prepared the noodles for her own people first.
Gu Qiuyan was not satisfied with a bowl of pig intestine noodles, so Yu Hui gave her another bowl of beef noodles.
By the time Gu Qiuyan finished her noodles, people had already started queuing outside.
Yu Hui asked her to take her brothers and sisters back to rest, but she disagreed and insisted on staying to help.
There were many unfamiliar faces among the people who came to eat noodles at noon today. When Qian Lan asked, she found out that they had read the newspaper and came all the way from the city specifically to eat.
They also said that they just wanted to see whether the noodles were as delicious as described in the newspaper.
When they were eating, an old customer asked, "How is it? Is it as delicious as described in the newspaper?"
These new diners ate in silence, just giving thumbs up in between slurping noodles.
Because of these diners coming from the city, the business of the bun shop has also improved a lot.
The diners thought the buns were good, so they bought some to take home for their families.
This made Wen Zhaodi very happy, and all the buns were sold out at noon.
However, she did not think that this was due to the noodle shop's influence, but rather that their bun shop was lucky.
Because business was good today and the buns were selling quickly, Wen Zhaodi and Zheng Wenxiu decided to make two more baskets tomorrow.
Although business is picking up, they don't dare to make too much. They still add little by little, and if it's not enough to sell, they add more.
Today is another day of finishing work early. In the evening, the family made dry pot pork ribs and stewed pig's trotters. Yu Hui also called Qian Lan and asked her not to cook in the evening. She called Captain Yu and brought the two children to eat together.
Qian Lan felt embarrassed to come empty-handed, so she asked Yu Jianshe to bring a piece of bacon in advance.
It was still early, so when Yu Hui got home, she went into her bedroom alone, picked up the account book and started to do the accounting.
We will be closed tomorrow for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so today is our last day. It’s time to settle accounts and divide the money.
