Chapter 164 Flaw
Zhan Gu Yanxiao seemed to see through Shao Zijie's thoughts, and looked at him as if he were an idiot before saying, "Look at that place, what is it?"
Following Gu Yanxiao's finger, everyone saw a small scratch on the tree trunk, about two meters from the ground.
"And there..."
Gu Yanxiao continued pointing upwards and saw a few leaves that were tilted unnaturally.
It seems that Tong Aiguo was in such a hurry when collecting the dew that he didn't carefully put it back in its place.
“These are clearly not traces left by mountain animals. If you pay attention, you will naturally be able to find them.”
"And here..."
As Gu Yanxiao pointed out the flaws left by Tong Aiguo one by one.
Everyone, including Shao Zijie, was greatly shocked.
It turns out that Tong Aiguo had left so many flaws, but they hadn't noticed a single one.
Ding Yongming was particularly devastated.
Therefore, Commander Gu had already discovered so many flaws just by passing by, yet he had stayed there for a full half hour and still found nothing.
Is the gap between him and Commander Gu really that big?
Tong Aiguo was also bewildered. He had been so careful, how could he have left so many loopholes?
The thought flashed through her mind, and when she turned her head, she met Gu Yanxiao's stern gaze.
"Tong Aiguo, give me an explanation. Why were you so careless?"
"Commander Gu... I... I was just too nervous..."
Tong Aiguo was so intimidated by Gu Yanxiao's gaze that he almost instinctively called out "Brother Gu".
And what he said about being too nervous for a moment was indeed true.
He was just a twenty-year-old boy from a remote rural area who had just joined the army and was already facing the challenge of twenty trained soldiers.
The internal pressure is unimaginable.
If the challenge location hadn't been the mountainous environment he was most familiar with, he really would have preferred to surrender immediately.
"After you get back, write me a self-criticism and reflect on what shortcomings you have this time."
Gu Yanxiao nodded, but didn't say anything more.
Tong Aiguo was a bit dumbfounded. So, even though he had won the challenge, he still had to write a self-criticism?
All right!
Brother Gu... whatever Commander Gu says goes. It's my own fault for making so many mistakes!
The three-day challenge ended in less than a day.
After finishing her business at the military base and arranging follow-up work, Gu Yanxiao went home.
He didn't come back for just one day.
Looking at his delicate and gentle wife and his chubby, pink-cheeked son, Gu Yanxiao felt all his fatigue vanish.
In order to be able to hold his wife and son as soon as possible, the first thing Gu Yanxiao did when he got home was to take a shower in the bathroom.
The sweaty smell from working in the military camp.
Not to mention his wife, even he himself now finds him repulsive.
When he came out after taking a shower, Su Xiangwan was nowhere to be seen.
"young married woman……"
Gu Yanxiao walked out while drying his hair and saw Su Xiangwan playing with Niannian with Gu Yanfei in the living room, while Gu's father and mother sat aside and watched them with smiles.
Under the warm fluorescent lights, laughter and the aroma of food filled the hall.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yanxiao personally experienced a feeling called happiness.
Seemingly sensing Gu Yanxiao's gaze, Su Xiangwan looked up and met his deep eyes. She immediately smiled and said, "You've finished showering? Are you hungry?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Aunt Liu and said, "Aunt Liu, dinner is ready!"
"Yes, Miss, there's only one vegetable dish left."
As she spoke, Aunt Liu ladled out the soup and began preparing to stir-fry the last vegetable dish.
This green vegetable is the young lady's favorite, so Aunt Liu specially waited until it was time to cook it.
It only takes two minutes to stir-fry, and it's still steaming hot when it's served. That's how you eat it best.
After dinner, the family brewed a pot of tea as usual and sat in the tea room chatting.
Gu's father asked about Tong Aiguo's performance in the army.
Gu's father was aware that Gu Yanxiao had defied public opinion and placed Tong Aiguo, who had never received any military training, into the special forces reserve team.
That's why he was so concerned about this matter, worried that it might have a negative impact on Gu Yanxiao and Tong Aiguo.
"We already started working on this issue yesterday..."
While pouring Su Xiangwan a cup of fruit tea, Gu Yanxiao answered his father's question.
When Gu Yanfei and Su Xiangwan heard that Tong Aiguo had actually robbed a squirrel and then nestled in a tree hole eating nuts, they couldn't stop laughing.
Even Gu's mother couldn't help but chuckle, saying with a smile, "This patriotism is truly..."
Gu Yanfei's focus was on the little squirrel: "Big brother, is what you said true? After the little squirrel's granary was robbed, it actually got so angry that it hanged itself from a tree in the southeast!"
“Of course it’s true. Don’t underestimate these little animals; they’re actually very smart.” Gu Yanxiao nodded.
At home, he completely shed the cold and stern demeanor he displayed in the military.
Beneath his calm gaze lay nothing but tenderness for his family.
"If I have the chance, I really want to go and see that little squirrel." Gu Yanfei suddenly became curious about the little squirrel.
"Come on!" Father Gu waved his hand and said, "After Aiguo's actions, this little squirrel will probably run away as fast as it can when it sees us two-legged creatures, and you won't even be able to see its shadow."
Upon hearing what Gu's father said, everyone burst into laughter.
Indeed, who wouldn't be afraid of someone who could empty their own granary?
It was getting late, so after chatting and laughing for a while, everyone prepared to rest.
Looking at her son who was following his daughter-in-law step by step, Gu's mother secretly rolled her eyes and said directly, "You two should get some rest! You can sleep with us every night."
"Then thank you for your trouble, Mom!" Upon hearing this, Gu Yanxiao prepared the baby formula and diapers for Nian Nian without hesitation.
Seeing his attitude, Su Xiangwan gave him a pinch around the waist in annoyance.
Gu Yanxiao accepted his wife's "loving caresses" without changing his expression, and then grabbed her hand as she tried to escape.
"Wife, you're pinching me too hard!" Gu Yanxiao said as he tightened his grip on Su Xiangwan's waist to prevent her from struggling and hurting his hands.
"Your skin is so thick, how could it hurt?" Su Xiangwan didn't believe him at all; she hadn't used any force at all.
"If my wife doesn't believe me, she can check it out."
As she spoke, Gu Yanxiao began to take off her clothes...
