Chapter 33: Gu Huai's Platoon Leader
"You are..." Yu Hui looked sideways at the young man who was wearing a green military uniform, about 1.8 meters tall, with a crew cut, thick eyebrows, big eyes, slightly high brow bones, three-dimensional facial features, and a tall and strong figure. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
What a handsome young man, tall and strong, upright yet with a simple wildness.
The man grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "I'm the platoon leader under Captain Gu. My name is Wu Hai, and I even attended your wedding with Captain Gu."
However, when they were having the wedding banquet, they all felt sorry for the battalion commander and thought that the bride was not worthy of him.
But when he saw the battalion commander's wife carrying the mat and such a heavy wooden chair by herself, he stopped.
The battalion commander was not at home, and she had to take care of four children by herself, with no one to help. It looked very hard.
"Oh..." Yu Hui nodded. How come the original owner had no impression of such a handsome guy?
"Hello."
Wu Hai smiled, picked up the baby chair with one hand, and then carried the mat, "Sister-in-law, let me help you."
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
"It's okay, it's not heavy at all." Wu Hai smiled at Yu Hui, picked it up and left. He knew the way and didn't need a guide.
This is a great help. "Thank you, Wu Hai." Yu Hui trotted over and caught up with Wu Hai to express her gratitude.
Wu Hongyan put down the sack on her shoulders, stood on the side of the road to take a breath, and kicked the sack in annoyance.
There are 40 kilograms of watermelon in the sack. Teacher Yun, the dance teacher in the troupe, sympathizes with the hard work of practicing dance these days and wants to treat everyone to some watermelon.
He ordered her to go out and buy some, and said that since she wasn't really putting much effort into her dancing practice, she should just go to the market and buy some melons for everyone.
Watermelon cost one cent per pound. There were many people in the group, so Teacher Yun gave her four yuan and asked her to buy 40 pounds directly.
The forty kilograms of watermelon were extremely heavy. She dragged and carried it by herself. It took her a long time and she was sweating all over before she finally got here. She was still far away from the art troupe.
Wu Hongyan felt that Teacher Yun was targeting her. Not only Teacher Yun, but other leaders in the group also looked at her strangely.
"It's all that damn country woman's fault." Wu Hongyan kicked the nylon bag again.
After kicking, she saw a tall man in military uniform, carrying a mat and a wooden frame of unknown origin, walking past her.
I thought to myself, if only there was a man like this who could help me carry myself back to the art troupe.
Just as he was thinking about it, the country woman he had just scolded walked past him, turned her head to look at him and sneered.
She suddenly froze all over, afraid that Yu Hui would hear her scolding her and go to the group leader to complain.
When Yu Hui saw Wu Hongyan's face, she realized that the person standing on the roadside kicking the sack and cursing was actually cursing her.
But she was busy at the moment, so she didn't bother with her. She just sneered sarcastically and went to catch up with Wu Hai.
His long legs are so long that it’s hard to keep up with him.
Seeing that Yu Hui did not stop arguing with her, Wu Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at her back as she walked farther and farther away, she was still talking to the man in military uniform carrying a mat. The two of them were chatting back and forth with smiles on their faces.
Wu Hongyan frowned. The whole regiment knew that Captain Gu had gone to Beijing to study and would not be back for a month.
This man is definitely not Captain Gu, so who is he?
Captain Gu's country wife was chatting and laughing with him.
A gleam of light flashed in Wu Hongyan's slightly narrowed eyes, and she suddenly thought of a way to take revenge on this country woman.
This country woman caused her to be targeted by the group leader, so she couldn't let this country woman have an easy time.
"Are you from a minority?" Yu Hui asked Wu Hai with some surprise.
Seeing her so surprised, Wu Hai felt a little embarrassed and nodded, "Yes, Mongolian."
Yu Hui: No wonder they are so strong.
"So you're quite good at riding?"
"I have been able to ride since I was a child, and I always come first in horse racing competitions in my hometown." Wu Hai boasted a little.
"You are so awesome." What she envied most was people who could ride horses. Riding a tall horse and galloping across the grassland was really cool and handsome.
Faced with this praise, Wu Hai smiled a little embarrassedly.
I also felt that the battalion commander's new wife was actually like a little girl. When she heard him say that she could ride a horse, her eyes sparkled.
Wu Hai carried a mat and a baby chair and walked into the military compound.
Seeing him and Yu Hui walking together, people who met on the street couldn't help but take a second look, and some even asked directly, "Who is this Xiao Yu?"
"A platoon leader under Gu Huai met me on the way back from the market, and he helped me deliver the things back."
After hearing this answer, the person asking the question will basically not ask any more questions.
Gu Nan and Gu Xi each caught a caterpillar and squatted at the door to compete to see whose caterpillar could crawl faster.
"Gu Nan, Gu Xi..."
Hearing their stepmother's voice, they both stood up and looked up at the same time.
"Mom." Gu Xixi threw away the dogtail grass in her hand and ran towards her mother.
Wu Hai: The battalion commander’s son is quite close to his new sister-in-law, and it seems that his sister-in-law is also very good to them.
"What are you playing?" Yu Hui touched Gu Xixi's head.
"I won the caterpillar competition." Gu Xixi boasted proudly.
Gu Nan murmured "Tsk".
Yu Hui smiled, "Then your caterpillar is really amazing."
"Mom, who is he?" Gu Xixi saw Wu Hai.
Yu Hui pointed at Wu Hai and introduced him to them, "This is your brother Wu Hai. He's a platoon leader in your father's battalion. He saw that I couldn't carry the things, so he helped me carry them back."
Wu Hai: “…”
Brother Wu Hai? There's a generation difference between them, right? He was calling her sister-in-law, right?
"Thank you, Brother Wu Hai." Gu Xixi thanked him sweetly.
Wu Hai: "Don't, don't call me brother, call me uncle, otherwise it will seem like we are of different generations."
Hmm? Gu Xixi tilted her head and looked at her mother. Should she call him brother or uncle?
Yu Hui glanced at Wu Hai and said, "Call me uncle."
Since he asked me to call him uncle, then I will call him uncle.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu Hai."
"Thank you, Uncle Wu Hai." Gu Nan also thanked him. Since he was a soldier in his father's camp, he had to show his courtesy.
"Wu Hai, please help me take the things to the yard. I'm going to go next door and pick up Bei Bei."
"Okay." Wu Hai nodded and followed Gu Nan into the Gu family yard.
Qian Lan was still sewing shoe soles. Yu Hui said a few words to her and then took Beibei away.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Wu Hai standing under the eaves, as if he was about to leave.
"Wu Hai, please sit in the room for a while. I'll boil some water."
"No need, sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."
"What do you mean you don't need it?" Yu Hui pretended to be angry. "Come in and sit for a while. You helped me carry the things for such a long way. How can I let you go without even a sip of water?"
"If people knew about this, they would say I'm from the countryside and don't know how to be polite."
"This..." Wu Hai rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"Uncle, please sit for a while." Gu Xixi directly pulled Wu Hai into the house.
Yu Hui put Beibei in the cradle, asked Gu Nan to watch over her, and went to the kitchen to boil water.
The fire in the stove was still on, so Yu Hui used a small pot to cook directly on the stove.
"Uncle Wu Hai, have some rice crusts." Gu Xixi lifted the bamboo cover on the table and pushed the plate of spicy rice crusts in front of Wu Hai.
"This is made by my mother. It smells delicious."
Since no one eats the rice crust at home, Yu Hui makes spicy rice crust every two days.
