Gu Weicheng took Li Xia and An An to the canteen for military families instead of the soldiers' canteen.

From now on, Li Xia and An An will live in the military family compound and have to go to the military family canteen. The military canteen is not open to the public and no one is allowed to enter without a soldier accompanying them.

"If you don't want to cook in the future, you can come to the military canteen to get food with your ticket." Gu Weicheng introduced to Li Xia as they walked, "The army will issue meal tickets and vegetable tickets. I will give them to you when the time comes."

As the team leader, Gu Weicheng could occasionally prepare his own meals every month, but before Li Xia came, he had always eaten from the same pot with everyone else.

This is the first time he has cooked for himself. Individual dishes always taste better than the big pot meals, and he wants his wife and son to eat better.

The dishes were ready, a total of three, one meat, one vegetable and a soup, served with a generous helping of rice. In that era when many places were still poor and could only eat fine grains once a month, this was considered a very good meal.

The braised pork is rich in oil and sauce, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, and it trembles when poked with chopsticks.

Gu Weicheng put a piece of braised pork into Li Xia and An An's bowls respectively: "Eat more."

An An sat next to Li Xia, opposite Gu Weicheng. He stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in Gu Weicheng's bowl, and whispered, "Dad, eat more too."

This was the first time he called "Dad". Gu Weicheng smiled after hearing it, and felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.

When he was with An An, Gu Weicheng would subconsciously control his expression, for fear that he would unconsciously frown at some point.

The father and son had just met, and he couldn't scare the child.

After dinner, Gu Weicheng took them for a quick walk and introduced things to them.

"That's the old military dependents' compound, which is all bungalows with yards. A little further in front is the family dependents' compound that is being built, which is a building, but it's not habitable yet."

"Turn over here and walk a few hundred meters ahead to the school. There are red education classes, elementary schools, and middle schools. An An can go to school there when the time comes..."

"The supply and marketing cooperative is in town. It won't take long to walk there."

In this way, we introduced everyone along the way and soon returned to the guesthouse.

Gu Weicheng sent the mother and son to the room and said, "You have to stay in the guesthouse until the family room comes. I am living in the dormitory now, so you can't stay there."

"Go to bed early. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Seeing that his father was leaving, An An was reluctant to let him go: "What time tomorrow? Or in the evening?"

But it will take a very long time from day to night.

Gu Weicheng said: "In the morning, I will bring you breakfast in the morning."

Hearing this, An An felt relieved and immediately smiled: "Okay, goodbye, Dad!"

It’s great that I can see my dad again when I wake up from a good sleep!

After calling daddy once while eating, it is much easier to do it now.

Li Xia walked Gu Weicheng to the door: "Go slowly on the way."

Gu Weicheng turned around to look at her. It was already dark outside. The lights in the corridor of the guesthouse were on, but their wattage was low, so they looked dim.

Her face seemed even gentler under the dim light, and Gu Weicheng couldn't take his eyes away.

"Go and have some rest." Gu Weicheng waved at her and invited her to come in.

After Gu Weicheng left, Li Xia closed the door, looked at An An who was sitting on the bed, and asked, "Do you like Daddy?"

"I like it! I like Dad, and I like this place too. Mom, let's live here from now on and don't go back, okay?" An An blinked and asked expectantly.

He didn't want to go back and didn't want to see his grandparents. They always scolded and disliked him, but his father liked him very much and he also liked his father.

"Well, we'll live here from now on, with Dad." Li Xia took out her clothes and took An An to take a shower.

If you don't take a shower every day in the hot summer, your body will smell bad. Li Xia can't stand sleeping with a bad smell.

The next morning, Gu Weicheng got up earlier than usual. Before the bugle sounded, he threw off the quilt and got up.

Hu Songlin heard the noise and glanced at the time on his watch: "Old Gu, why are you up so early? The bugle hasn't even sounded yet!"

"Bring food to my wife and children." Gu Weicheng said, folding the quilt neatly, going to the public area to brush his teeth and wash his face, then picking up the family housing application form and lunch box that he had filled out last night, and turned around and went out.

Hu Songlin was the only one left in the dormitory. Feeling very lonely, Hu Songlin said: "..."

Before his sister-in-law came to join the army, he kept complaining about why she didn't come to join the army.

Now that his sister-in-law has come to join the army, he seems even more miserable as a lonely man.

No, he has to work harder, go on more blind dates, and get married sooner! He also has to try to deliver breakfast to his wife and children sooner!

These soldiers in the army were like hungry wolves. Those who came late were left with only leftovers. It was definitely a wise decision for Gu Weicheng to come to the cafeteria early.

The breakfast is relatively simple, offering porridge, steamed buns, steamed bread, and steamed buns. Rice noodles are also available, but rice noodles are only suitable for eating in the cafeteria. They will not taste good if taken away.

Gu Weicheng ordered a bowl of porridge and five steamed buns. Steamed buns and steamed bread are too northern, and Li Xia and An An would definitely not be used to them, so they were not within his consideration.

He found the chef and stuffed him with a few cigarettes. After a while, two more boiled eggs were added to Gu Weicheng's lunch box.

After doing all this, Gu Weicheng was not in a hurry to leave, but was looking for someone in the cafeteria.

After a while, he really found it.

"Brigade Commander, come and have breakfast." Gu Weicheng walked over and greeted him.

"Well, Xiao Gu, are you making breakfast for your wife and children?" Brigade Commander Chen glanced at the lunch box in Gu Weicheng's hand and said jokingly.

"Yesterday when I heard your wife and kids were coming, you didn't react much. I thought you were unhappy, but now you're here to make breakfast for me? How is it? It feels good to have a wife and kids in your bed! Among the officers above the company level in the army who can have their families accompany them, who is like you? You're married but still sleep in a cold bed!"

"Commander, it's great to have a wife and children and a warm bed, but I haven't felt it yet. This is my application form for family housing. I hope you can approve it as soon as possible so that I can have a wife and children and a warm bed!"

Gu Weicheng placed the application form in front of Brigade Commander Chen.

After breakfast, he had to go to training. When he came back, it was already evening. At that time, he had to submit the application form. If it was approved, he would have to wait until tomorrow to confirm it.

He really couldn't wait, so he had to come to the cafeteria to find Brigade Commander Chen and got this matter settled before he went to work.

"Hey, kid, wait for me here!" Brigade Commander Chen glared at him.

But he was not really angry. When he was young, he was as impatient as Gu Weicheng. Moreover, he had just gotten married not long ago and couldn't wait to sleep in the same bed with his wife.

Gu Weicheng has been married for five years and finally has a wife and a child. How can he not be anxious?

He was worried about Gu Weicheng!

As a leader, he was also happy that his subordinates' relationship was going well. He glanced at the application form and said, "Okay, I've approved you. I checked it out for you last night. There are two larger courtyards in the old family compound. One is next to Deputy Commander Yan's house, and the other is next to Commander Ma's house. You can choose one."

In fact, after he knew that Gu Weicheng's family had arrived a few days ago, he paid attention to the matter of the family housing, so he knew so much about the house.

"I'll choose the one next to Captain Ma's house." Gu Weicheng said immediately.

When Captain Ma's family member, Mrs. Tao, came to join the army, she invited them to dinner. He remembered that Mrs. Tao was very hospitable and easy to talk to.

As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. A good neighbor is still very important. There are many women in the family compound and there are many conflicts. I heard that some people even fought.

Gu Weicheng didn't want any conflicts between Li Xia and the neighbors.

After confirming the house issue, Gu Weicheng went to the guesthouse with his lunch box.

"Dad!" An An shouted as soon as she saw Gu Weicheng and ran over to greet him.

This call of 'Dad' was much louder than the ones last night.

Gu Weicheng smiled immediately, holding the lunch box in one hand, picked up An An with the other, and walked into the room.

"Do you miss your dad?" Gu Weicheng rubbed An An's face with his chin.

He was in a hurry to go out this morning. He hadn't had time to groom himself during the past few days of missions, and fine stubble had grown, which made An An's face itchy and made him giggle.

"I thought about it. I was thinking about you in my dream last night." Li Xia said.

She was not lying. An An really called "Dad" in her dream last night.

Li Xia was combing her hair, which was long and black, reaching her waist. She braided her hair into two long braids and then tied them up behind her head.

In this way, the two braids will not only not be in the way, but when they are tied behind the head, they will add a touch of gentle and intellectual beauty.

Noticing that Gu Weicheng was staring at her, Li Xia looked down at herself blankly, only then she realized that she was only wearing a pair of shorts on the lower body.
