Volume 1 Chapter 322 The Army's New Year's Dinner
"It's cold now, so we have to wash it and put it in the sun before we can use it."
Mother Sheng gave a few instructions, fearing that they would use it to cover the clothes without even washing them.
"Mom, we know."
"We have quilts at home, so there's no rush to use them."
Sheng Wanyan didn't think her mother was nagging at all. On the contrary, having someone around who was willing to talk to her was a very happy thing.
"You're just a talker."
"By the way, Yan'er Xiaoyue, have you prepared everything for the New Year?"
Sheng Wanyan had already prepared everything needed for the New Year, including melon seeds, cakes, walnuts, wine, and candies.
During the Chinese New Year, children would come to the family compound to pay New Year's greetings, and everyone would give them a handful of melon seeds.
Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao returned to Kyoto last year, so naturally this didn't happen.
But this year, celebrating the New Year in this army will still be lively.
Especially when children come to visit, the New Year atmosphere becomes more festive.
"Mom. I'm all ready."
"I'm ready too."
When Mother Sheng heard that everything had been arranged, she felt relieved.
"By the way, the troops will have a group meal tomorrow night in the cafeteria."
Tomorrow is the second to last day of the lunar year 1975, and the troops will definitely be busy.
After all, we have been busy for a whole year, and we should reward the hard-working soldiers!
What's more, we have experienced a flood, so we need to comfort everyone.
Especially if the military wife is frightened and wants to go home because of this incident, it will be terrible.
It’s no wonder that some military wives were so scared after experiencing a flood that they didn’t want to join the army anymore.
If the man in the family hadn't calmed her down, the family compound might be half empty by now.
Because of this incident, many soldiers reported it to their leaders. After all, they didn't want to be alone in an empty house without their wives and children around.
When the leader learned about this matter, he also attached great importance to it.
After all, soldiers are fighting outside, and if they return home they still need to worry about them all the time.
Then where does the confidence and goals come from when going on a mission?
In this era, materials and money are limited, and people can only be satisfied spiritually, so this kind of thing absolutely cannot happen.
The army must also ensure that the soldiers' families are warm and sweet, so as to avoid any unpleasant feelings in the soldiers' hearts.
In particular, we must not affect the soldiers' trust in the army.
Therefore, the army tried every possible way to appease everyone and allow the wives of soldiers to continue to accompany the troops and do a good job in the rear area.
The next day, Sheng Wanyan went to the cafeteria to eat with the group, and Yi Yi naturally wanted to go as well.
It was the first time for Yi Yi to go to such a lively place. When I got there, I looked left and right and couldn’t see enough.
Many military wives came to tease Yi Yi, and Yi Yi gave everyone a toothless smile.
"The child's name is Yi Yi?"
Many military wives met Yi Yi at first sight and saw how plump and fair she was.
I also felt emotional in my heart. How could he be so willing to sacrifice such a little girl? I don't know what Captain Gu was thinking.
"yes."
"Gu Yiyi, you know what, it sounds pretty good."
"Yiyi is a childhood nickname, and my real name is Gu Jinsheng."
Sheng Wanyan explained it and everyone laughed when they heard it. They thought the real name was Gu Yiyi.
"People with cultural backgrounds choose names differently."
"Like ours, they all belong to Dahua Erniu."
Nowadays, girls’ names basically have the characters “大花”, “二花”, or “小草” or something like that.
Those who are called Xiaofang or Xiaohui are considered respected at home.
Gu Tingxiao went to help move the tables and chairs, and some military wives who were too busy to rest went to help in the kitchen.
Sheng Wanyan was holding Yi Yi, and Sheng's mother saw that she was tired and took the child over.
"Are you sleepy, Yiyi?"
When Grandma Sheng saw Mother Sheng holding Yi Yi in her arms, she thought Yi Yi was sleepy.
"Yes, a little. My eyelids are drooping."
Yi Yi was held by the hands of the enthusiastic military wives for a while and is now tired.
Hu Zi was in Pan Yue's arms, and when he saw Yi Yi, he reached out to grab her.
Mother Sheng gave Yi Yi's little hand to Hu Zi, and Hu Zi was satisfied holding his sister's little hand.
"Beautiful~"
Hu Zi likes Yi Yi very much and also likes to play with Yi Yi. He doesn’t mind at all that Yi Yi can’t speak yet.
"younger sister."
Pan Yue would correct Hu Zi's pronunciation whenever she had the chance, but unfortunately Hu Zi was only one year old and didn't listen to her at all.
After Gu Tingxiao and everyone else moved the tables and chairs, he saw Yi Yi was about to fall asleep, so he went over and hugged her in his arms.
"Mom, let me coax Yi Yi to sleep."
"You guys take a seat first."
Mother Sheng nodded. Even though Yiyi is only 5 months old, her weight is no joke.
Mother Sheng's hands became numb after holding her for a while, and as she got older, she could no longer do anything.
Gu Tingxiao took Yi Yi and gently patted Yi Yi's back as he walked.
When everyone saw how he was obsessed with his daughter, they couldn't help but sigh, are they blind?
How could the cold-faced King of Hell have a gentle side? ? ?
Could there be something wrong with their eyes?
Or is it that the King of Hell Gu is fake? ? ?
They finally saw how much Captain Gu doted on his precious daughter.
“Is this a fake leader?”
Everyone couldn't help but be amazed. It turns out that Captain Gu is so gentle to his family?
Then why are you so mean and cold to them?
Should they be punished to run five kilometers for a disagreement? Is this still a different treatment?
Everyone felt that they had found the truth. After all, they were not Captain Gu’s beloved daughter.
When the military wives saw that it was Captain Gu who was coaxing his daughter to sleep, they couldn't help but look over.
Today I finally saw that Captain Gu has this kind of face.
They are all women, why is there such a big difference between the men in the family?
When did it become the job of coaxing children that is not women's job?
"Captain Gu really loves his wife."
"That's right. No one in the family compound cares more about the family than Captain Gu."
Liang Qian's face turned red with anger when she saw this. If it weren't for Sheng Wanyan, she would be the one being envied by everyone now.
How could it be her turn?
But Liang Qian didn't dare to cause trouble for Sheng Wanyan now. After all, she had just been criticized by the political commissar.
The relationship with his father has not yet been eased. If he causes trouble again, Political Commissar Xie will never let him go.
Zhang Zhaodi rolled her eyes when she saw this. How could Sheng Wanyan be so shameless in public?
She actually doesn't take care of the child herself and lets Captain Gu take care of the child in front of so many people.
He really doesn't care about Captain Gu's face at all. How can Captain Gu save face in the future if he does this in front of so many comrades!
Sheng Wanyan didn't know what everyone was thinking, so she took Yi Yi's bottle and gave it to Gu Tingxiao.
"Is that a milk bottle?"
"That's right, but it's made of glass, and it's only sold in Kyoto."
"It costs several dozen yuan each."
"Oh my goodness, I have learned a lot."
"A milk bottle costs dozens of yuan. Captain Gu's family is really generous to their daughter."
Everyone was shocked. No matter how well-off Captain Gu's family was, it shouldn't be like this.
All the money was spent on a little girl. Captain Gu’s monthly salary was not even enough to support her.
