Chapter 49 A package from the capital, a grand gesture from the Gu family!
Su Yue shook her head.
That amount of force was nothing to her.
But seeing the concern in the man's eyes, a warm feeling still washed over her.
"I'm fine."
Gu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief and then explained, "I just came from the regimental headquarters to inform you that your package has arrived at the post office."
pack?
Su Yue was stunned for a moment.
She's only been here a few days, who would send her a package?
"Let's go, let's go take a look together." Gu Beichen naturally took her hand, his demeanor making it seem as if the stern and impartial Commander Gu who had just reprimanded people was merely a figment of everyone's imagination.
"Okay." Su Yue nodded, letting him lead her.
Xu Caixia and Li Chunyan both smiled like doting aunts as they watched this scene.
The way our own commander is so protective of his own is absolutely amazing!
They waved to Su Yue with relief, signaling her to go quickly and not to worry about them.
Gu Beichen, holding Su Yue's hand, strode towards the post office amidst the cacophony of gazes from the crowd.
Only after their figures disappeared around the corner did the crowd erupt in a buzz of excitement.
The group of nurses huddled together, chattering amongst themselves.
"My God! Commander Gu's fiancée is so beautiful! Her skin is so fair it's practically glowing!"
"Yes, yes, she's much prettier than Dr. Liang! No wonder Commander Gu protects her like the apple of his eye!"
"Have you heard? This Comrade Su Yue, a few days ago on the train, single-handedly took down several armed robbers!"
"Really? She looks so thin?"
“It’s absolutely true! I heard it from the commuter drivers! They also said that Comrade Su Yue’s driving skills are better than even the most experienced drivers! And her medical skills are amazing; she saved someone’s life with just a hairpin!”
"My God, did you see that? Commander Gu was so protective of his own. The moment Dr. Liang touched him, his eyes turned so cold they could freeze you into an ice cube!"
"Absolutely! To directly label someone as 'corrupting military families' is a really harsh accusation! Dr. Liang has really messed up this time."
"Serves her right! Who told her to rush over and give gifts? Comrade Su Yue is clearly not someone who needs that piece of cloth, but she insisted on forcing it on her. What was she up to? Everyone knows what she was thinking!"
"Exactly! I've disliked her for a long time. She's always talking about how great Commander Gu is in our department, as if they're such good friends. And what happened? Commander Gu just said, 'I'm not familiar with you,' and she got a real slap in the face!"
The nurses were gossiping excitedly, their eyes filled with disdain and schadenfreude as they looked at Liang Manyun.
Liang Manyun stood there, lost and dejected, her face as white as paper. All she could hear was the buzzing of voices, each word like a needle piercing her skin.
"Manyun, are you...are you alright?" A nurse who shared a dormitory with her walked over cautiously and tried to take her arm.
As if stung by a scorpion, Liang Manyun abruptly shook off her hand and glared at her with resentment.
"Don't touch me!"
The nurse was startled and withdrew her hand sheepishly, feeling angry herself.
"You don't appreciate kindness! You're just standing here making a fool of yourself!"
After saying that, she turned and left, too lazy to bother with this matter anymore.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, leaving Liang Manyun standing there all alone, like a clown abandoned by the whole world.
Not far away, the department head watched this scene with a frown, shaking his head inwardly.
This Liang Manyun is competent in her work, but she's too cunning and always looking for shortcuts. Now she's run into Commander Gu, a formidable figure, and her future looks bleak.
...
On the other side, Gu Beichen led Su Yue to the military region's mailroom.
As soon as the two arrived at the door, the old man in the mailroom poked his head out, and his eyes lit up when he saw them.
"Oh! Commander Gu, Comrade Su Yue, you've finally arrived! Your packages are practically overflowing our little mailroom!"
The old man pointed to the pile of sacks and wooden boxes in the corner, his face showing a mixture of surprise and astonishment.
Su Yue was also somewhat stunned by the scene.
She's only been here a few days. Who would send her so much stuff?
Gu Beichen remained calm. He signed the document promptly, and then a cart appeared out of nowhere.
"Let's go home and unpack the packages."
He was the first to lift a large sack and place it steadily on the cart, his movements swift and efficient, the muscles in his arms taut and defined.
Su Yue watched his busy figure, feeling a strange mix of emotions.
The two of them worked together to load all the packages onto the cart and pulled it toward the family compound.
Now the whole residential compound knows.
"Look, look! It's Commander Gu and his wife!"
"My God, where did they get so much stuff? There must be seven or eight big packages!"
"Judging from the words printed on the sack, it looks like... the Beijing Post Office? Did it come from Commander Gu's family?"
"It must be a gift for the new bride! My goodness, the Gu family is incredibly generous! How much money must have been spent!"
The envious gazes of the military wives followed them like searchlights.
Su Yue accepted the stares with composure, a faint smile playing on her lips.
She liked this feeling—being protected by him, valued by his family, openly and confidently.
I finally got home, closed the gate, and shut out all the sounds from outside.
Gu Beichen parked the cart in the yard and dusted off his hands.
"Open it and see what my mom sent you." His tone carried a hint of anticipation that he himself didn't even realize.
"good!"
Su Yue also became interested. She picked up a pair of scissors and eagerly cut open the first burlap sack.
With a whoosh.
What was revealed caught her eye.
It consists of all sorts of supplements.
Ginseng, deer antler, donkey-hide gelatin, bird's nest... all were neatly wrapped in oil paper, with handwritten labels indicating their effects and how to consume them.
"My mom was worried that you wouldn't adapt to the new environment on the island and that your body would be weakened," Gu Beichen explained from the side.
Su Yue felt a warmth in her heart and continued scrolling down.
Besides the supplements, there were several small packages wrapped in cloth at the bottom of the burlap sack.
I opened one, and inside was a thick stack of brand-new receipts.
The country had a full range of coupons, including grain coupons, cloth coupons, meat coupons, sugar coupons, and industrial coupons, in astonishing quantities.
Su Yue gasped.
In those days, these notes were sometimes more valuable than money.
Has the Gu family prepared all her expenses for the next few years?
She opened another wooden box, inside which were several pieces of brightly colored fabric, some of which were polyester, some of which were silk, and one piece of fiery red wool that felt wonderful to the touch.
This is indeed a very large undertaking.
As Su Yue was reminiscing, Gu Beichen handed her a flat kraft paper envelope.
There are more here.
Su Yue took it and felt there was a hard card inside.
She opened the envelope and pulled out a brand new... bicycle ticket!
"Bicycle tickets?" Su Yue looked at Gu Beichen with surprise. "This is a good thing!"
With this, it will be much easier for her to move around in the military region.
"Yes, I'll buy you a car." Gu Beichen looked into her bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
Su Yue happily handed him the bicycle ticket.
"Then you'd better hurry up and buy it for me. I want the Phoenix brand, the latest model!"
"good."
Gu Beichen readily agreed, watching Su Yue continue searching for treasures in the pile of packages like a happy little squirrel, his eyes almost overflowing with tenderness.
He turned around, preparing to go to the kitchen to cook, so that she could enjoy this happiness alone.
