Gu Ye went back to the office to continue writing materials. Not long after, Political Commissar Tang also came back. As soon as he came in, he poured himself a cup of tea.
"Guess what I was asked today?" Political Commissar Tang saw Gu Ye busy writing materials, so he walked over with a teacup and asked with a smile.
"What do you want to ask?" Gu Ye didn't look up.
"Those unmarried young men didn't dare to ask you themselves, so they asked me to come and ask you if your young wife has any sisters or something." Political Commissar Tang took a sip of tea. "They all have the same wish, they want to be your brother-in-law!"
"She has no sisters, only an older brother and a younger brother." Gu Ye had to undergo a political review before getting married, so he naturally knew about Jiang Yue's family situation.
But this is only her adoptive father's home. As for her biological parents' home in the provincial capital, there is only one daughter there.
"Is that so? Tsk tsk, what about cousins? Your sister-in-law is so pretty, her cousins shouldn't be ugly either!" Political Commissar Tang asked again.
"I don't know!" Gu Ye had never met Jiang Yue's family, so how would he know whether her cousins were ugly or beautiful.
Suddenly, Gu Ye stopped holding the pen and said, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. In Jiang Province, there is a tradition for the son-in-law to visit his parents-in-law's family to pay respects. He and Jiang Yue have been married for almost a year, but he has never been to his parents-in-law's family.
"Old Tang, are you going to your sister-in-law's family home during the Dragon Boat Festival?" Gu Ye raised his eyes and asked Political Commissar Tang, whose wife is from this city.
"Yes, of course!" Political Commissar Tang laughed. "This is something that will make my wife proud. How can I not go?"
"What should I bring if I go to the festival?" Gu Ye asked again.
"Here it's fashionable to bring cigarettes and alcohol, and over there if there are children, it's fashionable to bring candy. But for families without money, it's also acceptable to bring some eggs, melons and fruits. The main thing is to show the thought." Political Commissar Tang replied.
Gu Ye nodded and kept it in mind.
"Are you planning to go to your sister-in-law's parents' home?" Seeing Gu Ye's concern, Political Commissar Tang joked at first, then his face turned serious, "Gu, don't think I'm too nosy. I see that you have a good relationship with your sister-in-law now. Do you want to reconsider that matter? It's not too late to apply for withdrawal now!"
Hearing this, Gu Ye's hand holding the pen suddenly tightened.
"You are still young and have many opportunities, but your life is your own. This operation is too dangerous. We have already sacrificed several outstanding soldiers. If you are also killed there--" Political Commissar Tang slapped his mouth and said, "Look at my crow mouth, what nonsense are you talking about? You, Gu Ye, are the strongest individual soldier. You can defeat thousands of troops by yourself! No matter who dies, you will not die!"
Gu Ye chuckled, "Old Tang, do you have confidence in me or not?"
Political Commissar Tang said with a serious expression, "Of course I have confidence in you!"
"That's all!" Gu Ye didn't seem to care.
"Then have you told your sister-in-law?" Political Commissar Tang saw that he could not persuade Gu Ye, so he could only bring up Jiang Yue.
"No!" Gu Ye lowered his eyes, "I don't want her to worry!"
"Hey!" Political Commissar Tang sighed, "Please think about it again!"

Jiang Yue picked up Ningning from Mrs. Zhao's house. Ningning had dinner at Mrs. Zhao's house. Jiang Yue herself was fed by Gu Ye, so she didn't need to have another lunch.
“Jiang Yue, your spicy crayfish is quite delicious! These crayfish, oh no, crayfish, we actually have them in my hometown, but their shells are too hard, and they’re not as fresh as river shrimps, so people there don’t like to eat them.” When Mrs. Zhao saw Jiang Yue, she immediately handed her a large, clean porcelain basin.
When Jiang Yue sent Ningning over, she also brought a plate of spicy crayfish for Sister Zhao to try. Sister Zhao knew that it was edible, but she didn't expect that Jiang Yue's dish was so delicious.
She was thinking of leaving some for Captain Zhao to try when he came back in the evening, but in the end, she and Zhao Yuanqi finished the whole plate of spicy crayfish.
"I have some more at home. I'll burn thirteen-spice powder in the evening. Sister-in-law can come over to eat it then!" Jiang Yue held Ningning's hand and said goodbye to Sister-in-law Zhao.
After returning home, Jiang Yue put everything in order, washed her hands, and took Ningning to take a nap.
When she woke up, Gu Ye had not come back yet. Jiang Yue wanted to continue working on her oven, but the sun was too strong outside, so she wanted to wait until it was cooler at night before continuing, otherwise she would get sunburned and that would not be worth it.
After painting for a while, Jiang Yue got up and went to the yard to take back the two T-shirts that had been washed and dried at noon. He checked them again and made sure that there was no visible defect. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
When Gu Ye came in, Jiang Yue was reading a book. She lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes drooped, and a few strands of hair fell on her cheeks. Her porcelain-white skin, ink-black hair, and calm temperament were like a painting.
"Gu Ye, you're back!" Jiang Yue smelled a familiar scent and turned around to see Gu Ye standing beside her. She jumped up, hugged Gu Ye's waist, looked up and smiled at him, her heart and eyes filled with joy to see Gu Ye.
Gu Ye touched Jiang Yue's pink lips with his long fingers, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes were as bright as stars.
"Are we leaving now? I'll call Ningning to get up!" Jiang Yue turned around and found that Ningning had already gotten up by herself.
"How do we get there? By bike? By the way, Gu Ye, I bought a small wicker chair. Can you help me install it on the back seat of the bike?" Jiang Yue told Ning Ning to get dressed, and then she pulled Gu Ye to the yard.
Gu Ye took the small seat, compared it to Jiang Yue's bicycle, and said, "You need to screw it on with wire. I don't have time now. I'll do it when I come back in the evening."
Putting the chair aside, Gu Ye said again: "Let's drive!"
Jiang Yue thought that the driving Gu Ye mentioned was the big jeep. He asked her to take Ningning to the gate of the family compound. Jiang Yue was looking around for the big jeep when she saw a military truck parked in front of her.
“Get in the car!”
When the car window was rolled down, Jiang Yue saw Gu Ye sitting in the driver's seat, waving at her in a handsome manner.
Jiang Yue was first impressed by his handsomeness, then shocked. Gu Ye can also drive?
Gu Ye had already opened the door from the inside. This truck was taller than the big jeep. Jiang Yue sent Ningning up first, and Gu Ye followed from above. Jiang Yue was about to climb up by himself.
"Give me your hand!" Gu Ye stretched out his hand to Jiang Yue in the car. Jiang Yue put her hand in his palm. He tightened his hand and pulled Jiang Yue.
When Jiang Yue used the force to sit on it, he felt that his vision suddenly became wider.
Jiang Yue thought she would get carsick. The last time she came back from the provincial capital, she was shaken so hard that she almost vomited. However, this time, she drove all the way to the county town and Jiang Yue hardly felt the bumps.
Gu Ye drove the truck directly to the county public security bureau.
He got out of the car first. Seeing Gu Ye get out so easily, Jiang Yue opened the door and prepared to jump down. However, when he saw the height, he backed down.
"Jump, I'll catch you!" Gu Ye saw that Jiang Yue was eager to try, and seeing that there was no one around, he opened his arms and motioned for her to jump down.
Jiang Yue had nothing to be afraid of now. She jumped down and landed in Gu Ye's warm and strong arms.
Gu Ye hugged Jiang Yue's slender waist and put her down steadily, and they smiled at each other.
At this moment, Jiang Yue heard a gasp behind him.
