Gu Ye touched his ears and his hands became warm.
"Battalion Commander, don't talk nonsense. The burning ears mean someone is thinking about it. It must be my sister-in-law who is thinking about Tuan Gu!" Captain Bai heard what Battalion Commander Xu said and interrupted to correct him.
Several people were carrying guns, backpacks and equipment, wearing green military uniforms and leggings, and running along the mountain roads.
Cross-country riding with heavy loads is very physically demanding. In order to conserve energy, no one spoke except for giving necessary instructions along the way.
After Captain Xu and Captain Bai finished speaking, they continued to run forward, and Gu Ye also never stopped.
The military qualities of the three are stronger than each other, especially Gu Ye. Even though he is already the head of the regiment and is busy with daily military work, he never neglects military training. Moreover, because of his personal superb military qualities, the soldiers under his command are also of excellent quality and are well-known throughout the army.
Gu Ye's ears were burning until the end of their armed cross-country race. Although he didn't say anything and his expression was always serious, after hearing Captain Bai say that his ears were burning because Jiang Yue was thinking about him, Gu Ye felt very happy all the way and completed the five-kilometer armed cross-country race at a faster speed than usual.
Battalion Commander Xu, Company Commander Bai and a group of soldiers saw from afar that Gu Ye was already waiting at the finish line, and they all complained bitterly.
"Huff, Captain Gu, you, huff, when did you arrive?" Captain Bai asked, panting.
Gu Ye glanced at the time on the military watch on his wrist and said with a serious face: "I have been waiting for you for half an hour! You can't even outrun me. With your speed, how can you participate in the military competition!"
"Huff, huff, huff!" Captain Xu was also panting. He thought that Gu Ye's speed was so fast that few people in the entire army could match him. The title of the devil commander was not in vain.
After thinking about it, Captain Xu wisely did not say it out loud, for he was afraid that if he said it out loud, he would be criticized by Gu Ye again.
He was so exhausted from the training yesterday that he went home exhausted at night.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yue asked Lian Rongrong to look after Ningning for a while while she rode her bicycle to the county town.
Jiang Yue has been practicing in the yard and the family compound these days. Today was his first time riding a bike on the road. Although he was still a little nervous, he no longer panicked after getting familiar with the ride.
The road out of the 179th Division Headquarters was asphalt and very flat, so Jiang Yue rode very smoothly. But the road near the county town was a dirt road, and she was so bumpy that she began to doubt her life. So she got off the bike and pushed it through this section before riding again.
It usually takes more than ten minutes to walk, but riding a bicycle is much faster and I can reach the county town in just seven or eight minutes.
Jiang Yue was going to Aunt Yang's tailor shop to pick up clothes. She had said she would pick them up the day before yesterday, but she was delayed by Xu Ergou's incident.
In the afternoon, the tailor shop was quiet, with only the sound of sewing machines.
When Jiang Yue came in, she saw Yang Cuiling hemming a pair of trousers.
"Sister Jiang Yue, you haven't been here for a few days!" Yang Cuiling was very happy when she saw Jiang Yue.
During the past twenty days or so, Jiang Yue came to make a set of clothes every two days, and all of them were customized with her own designs. Not only did she make them for herself, she also made them for her daughter. During this period, Jiang Yue became familiar with Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling.
"Yes, I had some things to do at home these days and didn't have time to come over." Jiang Yue looked around, found her clothes, and picked them up from the clothesline. This time she chose a lotus green short-sleeved shirt, brown shorts, and a red floral sleeveless dress.
"Sister Jiang Yue, you don't know, these two pieces of clothing have been hanging here for a few days, and several people have come in to ask about them. The most asked about is the dress!" Yang Cuiling skillfully locked the edges of the pants while talking to Jiang Yue.
"What do you want to ask?" Jiang Yue stood in front of the mirror, holding the clothes and trying them on herself. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
She was not familiar with it at first and thought that cloth could only be bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives. Later, Aunt Yang told her that the department store had a lot of cloth and she could go and have a look, and that they also sold ready-made clothes.
Jiang Yue walked over and looked around. In her opinion, the ready-made clothes of that era, even if they were from the south, were still rustic. However, there were indeed more fabrics and richer materials in the department store. In addition to cotton and Dacron, there were also high-end fabrics such as poplin and silk.
The suspender nightgown that Jiang Yue wore last night to seduce Gu Ye was made of real silk and cost her sixty or seventy yuan. When she told Aunt Yang that she wanted to make the nightgown, Aunt Yang cut and sewed it by hand while wearing gloves, for fear that the calluses on her hands would damage the silk.
"She said it looked nice and asked if it was from the south. She also wanted to make the same style!" Yang Cuiling said.
"Then let's do it!" Jiang Yue folded the clothes and put them into the cloth bag she carried with her.
"My grandma said these designs are all yours and she wanted to ask if you agree." Yang Cuiling pursed her lips.
In fact, when Jiang Yue first came with the clothing patterns and told Aunt Yang what to do, Yang Cuiling thought Jiang Yue's idea was strange. But who would have thought that after the clothes were made and Jiang Yue put them on, they looked so beautiful.
Jiang Yue had not expected that Aunt Yang, who ran a small tailor shop seven or eight years ago, would have copyright awareness. She knew that this was her design and still asked for her opinion.
She couldn't help but think of her casual chat with Aunt Yang. Aunt Yang happened to mention that before liberation, she followed her master to make clothes for the daughters of capitalists. Although Aunt Yang immediately realized the inappropriateness and changed the subject, Jiang Yue understood why Aunt Yang could understand her requirements and make clothes that satisfied her.
At that time, many of the young ladies of capitalist families had studied abroad, and they had high requirements and vision. The fact that she could make clothes for those young ladies was enough to show that Aunt Yang had good skills.
Jiang Yue saw Yang Cuiling looking at her, so she smiled and replied, "No problem!"
If a tailor shop like this makes three, five, seven or eight pieces, Jiang Yue would naturally not refuse, but if it is mass production in a factory, then she will charge a design fee.
"Cui Ling, isn't your grandma at home today?" Seeing that Aunt Yang hadn't come out for a long time, Jiang Yue asked Yang Cui Ling directly, "Is the bra I asked you to make last time ready?"
"Well, my grandma went out for something and will be back in the evening."
When Yang Cuiling heard Jiang Yue asking so bluntly whether the bra was ready, her face instantly turned red. She subconsciously looked outside and saw that no one was paying attention, so she lowered her head and replied, "It's done, Sister Jiang Yue, please wait a moment. There is still one last edge of the pants, I will give it to you after I finish locking it."
"Okay, no rush!" Jiang Yue did not disturb Yang Cuiling. She stood in front of the mirror, untied the scarf around her neck, and took a look. The kiss mark was still there.
Next time she has to tell Gu Ye not to kiss her neck. It’s hot now and she can’t keep wearing a scarf, which will also attract people’s attention.
"Sister Jiang Yue, bring it!" Yang Cuiling called Jiang Yue at this time.
Jiang Yue took the bra from Yang Cuiling's hand and said, "Cuiling, help me hold the curtain. I'll go inside and try it out to see if there's anything I need to change."
"Okay!" Yang Cuiling's face was still very red. She didn't know how Jiang Yue could so openly take such small underwear to try it on. She usually hung her change of underwear in the house for fear of being seen. It was too embarrassing.
Jiang Yue tried it on and was quite satisfied. Although there were bras for sale in that era, they had no elasticity or support, and the cup was just a piece of cloth, which was wrinkled and uncomfortable to wear. So Jiang Yue designed the style herself, bought fabric and elastic bands, and asked Aunt Yang to help make it.
