Li Wei greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Guiying!"
Before Liang Guiying could react, a large cardboard box appeared in front of her. Gu Yunzheng said, "This is Zhou Yue's birthday gift to Niannian."
The two were dressed casually today, and Liang Guiying didn't recognize them at first. It was Uncle Zhong who reminded her: "It's Zhou Yue's Captain Gu!"
Liang Guiying jumped up, pushed the cardboard box aside, and grabbed Gu Yunzheng: "Captain Gu, how is Zhou Yue?"
She didn't dare ask for more details, but she believed that Gu Yunzheng would understand.
Gu Yunzheng said, "Comrade Zhou Yue is just as outstanding as her father."
She's just as good as her father, which means she's already passed the first hurdle.
The first stage of training lasts three months. If Zhou Yue hadn't passed, she would have been sent back by now. If she hadn't been sent back, it meant she had passed. But it's one thing for Liang Guiying to know this, but it's another to hear Zhou Yue's supervisor confirm it with her own ears.
Gu Yunzheng was about to leave after delivering the gift when he was pulled back inside by the enthusiastic Liang Guiying.
Uncle Zhong rushed over and pulled him to sit down next to him: "Little Gu, you didn't have enough to drink last time, you'd better have a few more drinks today..."
"There are rules against drinking alcohol."
"Then let's drink soda."
The men sat at one table discussing world affairs, while the women chatted about vegetable prices and local gossip at another table. The children ate a few bites haphazardly and then ran around in the yard.
The atmosphere was lively, with laughter and cheerful chatter constantly emanating from courtyard number 16.
It wasn't until almost nine o'clock, after singing "Happy Birthday," cutting the cake, and everyone helping to clean up, that everyone dispersed.
Gu Yunzheng and Li Wei stayed until the end.
Zhou Xiaonian received many gifts today; this was the first time she had ever received so many gifts.
She had already opened the other gifts and liked them all, but she was curious about the big cardboard box in front of her, so she pulled Liang Guiying over and said, "Grandma, open it."
Liang Guiying brought a knife to open the box, and Gu Yunzheng naturally took it, quickly opening the box and taking out the gifts.
They are six beautiful and adorable dolls!
"Wow!" Zhou Xiaonian jumped up. "Grandma! It's a doll! A doll I've seen on TV!"
The little girl had seen dolls on TV and talked about them several times before going to sleep at night, but unfortunately there were none in Jiangcheng, and Liang Guiying couldn't buy one even though she had money.
Unexpectedly, the doll that the little girl had been longing for suddenly appeared.
Gu Yunzheng opened the box and told Zhou Xiaonian, "This is a gift from your mother. She said she wishes you a long and healthy life, and that you will be happy every day."
The little girl hadn't seen her mother for a long time, and her lips trembled as if she was about to cry. But the next second, she held back her tears and nodded, "May you be happy every day, Nian Nian!"
Her delicate yet stubborn appearance is just like Zhou Yue's.
The little girl sat in her bathtub combing her doll's hair, while Gu Yunzheng and Li Wei watched together.
Li Wei glanced at the screen twice and went to the kitchen to talk to Liang Guiying. When he came out, he saw Gu Yunzheng squatting down and combing his hair with Zhou Xiaonian, with a smile on his face and tenderness in his eyes. He was immediately horrified.
Wait, didn't Captain Gu claim to hate children the most, saying that seeing children makes his brain feel like it's going to explode? Why isn't his brain exploding yet, and why is he still smiling so gently?
