Chapter 456: To be promoted to group leader
"Where's Beibei?" Yu Hui walked into the bedroom after taking a shower and drying her hair. Not seeing Beibei, she asked Gu Huai.
"Mom took her to sleep with her."
Yu Hui: "Is Beibei capable?"
Ever since she came back, Beibei has been sticking to her. How could she be willing to sleep with her mother-in-law?
Gu Huai: "She's asleep, so we have to do it even if we don't want to."
"This little guy falls asleep quite quickly." Yu Hui sat on the edge of the bed.
"Let me wipe it for you." Gu Huai took the towel from her hand and sat behind her to wipe her hair.
"Your hair is much darker now and very shiny." She is very different from the yellow-haired girl with dry hair when she first came.
Yu Hui said: "If you eat well and get enough nutrition, your hair will naturally become black."
Gu Huai gently wiped Yu Hui's hair. As he wiped, his eyes unconsciously fell on her snow-white and slender neck, and his gaze gradually became hot.
Yu Hui seemed to have noticed it, and when she turned her head, she met his burning gaze.
"Cough..." Gu Huai lowered his eyelids and coughed dryly.
"Is your throat itchy?" Yu Hui asked.
Gu Huai raised his eyes and replied bluntly: "I am itching."
Yu Hui's ears blushed slightly as she said coquettishly, "You've been sitting in the car for two days and one night, and you don't feel tired at all."
Gu Huai: "I'm physically exhausted."
Yu Hui: "...Then I'm tired."
She was really tired. There were many people on the train, and people were snoring in both their carriage and the next carriage.
The snoring was as loud as an electric drill, coming and going, and it made her unable to sleep at all in the car.
Gu Huai sleeps very well. He can sleep in any environment without snoring.
Hearing this, the fire in Gu Huai's eyes suddenly dimmed a little, "Go to bed early tonight, we have a long way to go."
Yu Hui: “…”
next day
"Beibei, keep your voice down and don't disturb your mother."
As soon as Yu Hui opened her eyes, she heard Gu Dong's voice.
It was already bright outside and the sun was out.
She picked up the watch on the bedside table. Wow, it was already ten o'clock.
She slept for a really long time.
Yu Hui stretched, lifted the thin quilt and got out of bed.
I picked out a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of beige wide trousers from the closet and put them on.
Her hair was combed and braided into a side braid.
When I walked out of the bedroom, I saw Gu Dong holding Beibei and sitting on a deck chair reading the book "A Hundred Thousand Whys" I gave him yesterday. The scene was friendly and warm.
"Mom." Beibei was the first to see Yu Hui.
Gu Dong raised his head from the book, "Mom, are you awake? Breakfast is warming in the pot. I'll bring it to you."
Gu Dong put down the book and took his sister off his lap.
"No need, I brushed my teeth myself and can just go to the kitchen to eat. Where are the other people at home?" Yu Hui looked around.
"Auntie and my aunt went to work in the city, and Dad went to the camp. We ran out of soy sauce at home, so Grandma went to the grocery store to buy some. Nannan and Xixi went out to play."
The main reason for going out to play is to show off their new toys to their friends in the compound.
"You look after my sister, I'm going to wash up." Yu Hui left the main room and went to the laundry table to wash her face and brush her teeth.
After washing up, she went back to the room and put on some face cream. Beibei followed her like a little follower.
"Beibei, did you put on perfume today?" Yu Hui asked the little kid who looked up at her while wiping her face.
"Wipe it." Beibei pointed at her raised little face with her little finger, as if asking her mother to rub perfume on her.
Yu Hui smiled, dipped her finger in some cold cream, and dotted it on the little kid's chubby cheeks.
Beibei imitated her mother and wiped her face with her two little hands.
Yu Hui was touched by the cute look of the little girl. She bent down, picked her up and walked out of the bedroom. She saw that Gu Dong had already brought the breakfast left in the pot to the table.
Yu Hui's heart warmed. "Didn't you say that I don't need to bring it here, I can just go to the kitchen and eat it myself?"
Gu Dong smiled without saying anything and pulled the bench away.
Breakfast was corn porridge, leek pancakes, and a boiled egg.
Yu Hui gave half of the peeled eggs to Gu Dong.
The latter waved her hand and said, "I had eggs this morning. You have them, Mom."
"It's too much. Mom can't finish it. Please help me share some. If you finish all of this, I won't have to eat lunch."
Only then did Gu Dong take it.
Yu Hui also fed Beibei some egg white and leek pancakes. Just after breakfast, Zhao Changying came back.
"How did you sleep last night?" Zhao Changying asked with concern.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "I slept until dawn."
"I'm tired. This morning I went to the market and bought an old hen. I'll make you some soup this afternoon. For lunch, we'll have a simple meal of twice-cooked pork, braised tofu, and bitter melon scrambled eggs."
Yu Hui nodded and said okay.
Yu Hui wanted to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes she had finished eating. Zhao Changying asked Yu Hui to take a rest while she went to wash them.
Zhao Changying didn't let Yu Hui cook lunch. It was only at her strong request that she was responsible for cooking. The vegetables were all washed and cut by Zhao Changying in advance.
I was just frying the last piece of braised tofu when Gu Huai came back and went straight into the kitchen.
"Why are you back at this time?" Yu Hui asked, waving the spatula.
Gu Huai: "Commander Zhan asked me to rest for two days before returning to work. By then, the notice appointing me as the head of the special forces regiment will also be issued."
Yu Hui was stunned at first, then asked in surprise, "Are you going to be promoted to group leader?"
Gu Huai smiled and nodded. Although he was injured during this mission, he still completed the mission successfully. He was awarded one special merit and one first-class merit.
All the soldiers who carried out this mission with him were awarded first-class merit.
He was directly promoted to the head of the group.
"Brother Gu, you are awesome!"
He was promoted to regimental commander so quickly. It is rare to find a regimental-level cadre under the age of 30.
Zhao Changying clapped her hands with joy and said, "That's great! I'll have to call your dad this afternoon and tell him about it so he can be happy too."
Gu Huai pursed his lips and said, "Don't tell your family yet. Don't tell anyone else before the notice comes."
Zhao Changying quickly covered her mouth with her hands. "Yes, yes, the notice hasn't come down yet. I'll call home after the notice comes down."
Lunch is ready, the Gu family is eating.
Finally, we had the chance to eat Yu Hui’s cooking again, and the children ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.
Seeing this, Zhao Changying said to Yu Hui, "When you were away, these children only ate one and a half bowls of rice. I thought it was because of the hot weather that their appetites were poor. It seems that my cooking is not tasty and they don't like it."
Gu Nan ate the second night's meal which was almost finished and said: "Grandma's cooking is also delicious, but we haven't eaten the food cooked by mom for a long time, so we ate a little more."
Gu Xixi nodded vigorously.
Zhao Changying smiled, but she didn't believe Gu Nan's little mouth. This child was very good at saying things that adults liked to hear.
She also knew that although her cooking was not bad, it was definitely not as delicious as Xiaohui's, so it was normal that the children did not like it.
After lunch, Gu Huai took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Zhao Changying didn't stop her and asked her to do it.
