I got home early today. Aunt Liu had bought the vegetables in the morning. The meat was chilled in well water and was still ice cold when I took it out.
Jiang Yue lit a fire and cooked four dishes and a soup.
When Gu Ye arrived home, he smelled the aroma of food before he even entered the door. It was a familiar smell. When he lived in the Qingshan County staff housing compound, this was the moment he looked forward to the most.
Jiang Yue was putting out the fire in the stove. When she heard the sound, she turned around and saw Gu Ye's handsome face enlarged in front of her.
"Oh, you scared me. Why didn't you say anything!" Jiang Yue glanced at Gu Ye in a reproachful manner.
Gu Ye hugged Jiang Yue and stared at her beautiful little face. It seemed as if she appeared again in front of him, standing in the classroom and speaking passionately about how powerful China would become in the future, as well as her powerful words.
Gu Ye only felt his heart beating very fast, the excitement filled his chest, and there was an emotion that could not be expressed in words.
Jiang Yue avoided Gu Ye's lips. He wanted to kiss her as soon as he came back, but Jiang Yue didn't want him to succeed so easily.
"Wash your hands first, it's time to eat!" Jiang Yue pushed Gu Ye, and seeing that he was still staring at her, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips.
"Okay!" Gu Ye narrowed his eyes and smiled gently.
Gu Ye hasn't been home for more than half a month. The courtyard has been renovated bit by bit by Jiang Yue and now it has a homey feel.
After washing their hands, Gu Ye and Jiang Yue brought the dishes to the table together.
There were only the two of them at home, and they felt as if they were back in the military family compound in Qingshan County.
"Gu Ye, why are you always looking at me?" Jiang Yue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw Gu Ye staring at her while eating.
In fact, Gu Ye often looked at her like this, but his gaze today was particularly fiery.
Jiang Yue knew that it was probably because of the speech she made in the afternoon that touched Gu Ye.
Gu Ye has a very high ideological awareness and is extremely loyal to the country. More than anyone else, he hopes that China's future will develop as advanced as Jiang Yue said, so after hearing Jiang Yue's words, he was extremely excited and looking forward to it.
"Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon!" Gu Ye has repeated this sentence in his heart countless times. Every time he recites it, his chest is filled with surging waves.
When Jiang Yue heard Gu Ye mention this, her eyes lit up. This sentence was said by a professor when she was watching videos in her previous life. It was not her original idea. She didn't know why she suddenly thought of this sentence this afternoon, and then she read it out loud on impulse.
Gu Ye did not question Jiang Yue, but talked to her at the dinner table about the advanced fighter jets, aircraft carriers, etc. that she mentioned.
Jiang Yue didn't dare to say more. She was not usually interested in military affairs, and she was afraid that if she said too much, it would cause Gu Ye to suspect where she got the information from.
Fortunately, Gu Ye was very excited. He was the one who basically talked and fantasized, while Jiang Yue was responsible for listening.
After dinner, the two of them cleaned the table together. Gu Ye washed the dishes, and Jiang Yue received a call from Rong Yin.
Before she moved in, Rong Yin asked someone from the post office to come and pull the telephone lines and install a landline so that she could contact Jiang Yue more easily.
"What did mom say?" Gu Ye saw Jiang Yue coming over with a strange look on her face, so he asked her.
"Mom said that the baby will stay at her place tonight and won't go home!" Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye with complicated eyes. She knew with her toes that her mother-in-law was creating a world for them alone!
It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. Last night, Jiang Yue was worried about having someone at home and couldn't let go. Today at noon, she was worried about being late in the afternoon. She was always reluctant to accept Gu Ye and was not as passionate and unrestrained as before.
It’s different now. There are only her and Gu Ye at home, and they can play however they want.
We played until late at night.
“No more, no more!” Jiang Yue collapsed on the bed, completely exhausted.
If she had known earlier, she would not have asked for leave tonight. She should have thought that Gu Ye had been away for so long, and his energy was like a perpetual motion machine, never tired.
She now doubted whether she would be able to get up in the morning.
Gu Ye held his sweet and soft young wife in his arms, and felt sorry for her because she was so tired, so he let her go later.
Don’t worry, there is still a long way to go!
His little wife is so good and so lovely, he wants to live a sweet and happy life with her for the rest of his life.
It was almost eight o'clock when Jiang Yue woke up in the morning. She looked at the time in disbelief, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly got out of bed and put on her clothes.
Oh no, oh no, we’re going to be late for military training!
Jiang Yue was extremely anxious and couldn't help but complain about Gu Ye. Not only did he torment her until late at night last night, but he even didn't call her when he got up this morning!
Damn it!
When Jiang Yue was buying clothes and shoes and was about to go out, she found a note on the eight-immortals table in the main hall. As soon as she saw the strong handwriting, she knew it was left by Gu Ye.
Jiang Yue didn't even bother to brush her teeth or wash her face. She quickly picked up the note and rushed out, intending to read it while walking. However, after taking a few steps, she stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and went back into the house.
Gu Ye actually asked for leave from the counselor for her, why didn’t he tell her earlier!
Since she had taken leave, Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to go back to school.
At noon, Rongyin sent a car to bring the triplets back.
The triplets hadn't seen their mother all night, and now they were smiling at Jiang Yue with their toothless little mouths.
Jiang Yue hugged and cuddled each of them. She had never imagined that she, who had not planned to have children, would like babies so much.
Every time she sees her three little ones, her heart melts.
September is the season when sweet osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. Although the sweet osmanthus tree in the courtyard is not as big as the one in the staff housing compound in Qingshan County, it is also quite old, with a dense canopy, and countless golden osmanthus flowers dotted among the green leaves. The air is filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
At noon, Gu Ye came back for lunch and saw the triplets lying in a crib under the osmanthus tree. Jiang Yue was sitting beside them, looking at them with a gentle look in her eyes.
This scene was so beautiful that Gu Ye didn't want to leave.
"Leaving in the afternoon? So soon!" Jiang Yue heard Gu Ye say that he would be returning to the army in the afternoon. Her face, which was full of smiles just now, turned cloudy in a second. She pursed her lips and was about to cry.
"When your military training is over, you can come to the army to see me on weekends!" Gu Ye saw Jiang Yue's eyes were red, he hugged her and comforted her softly, "Or, just think of me as going on a mission and I will be back soon!"
"Hmm," Jiang Yue sniffed.
In the past, when they were in the family compound, Gu Ye often went on missions or led soldiers out for training. He would be gone for several days, sometimes as long as one or two months. At that time, she didn't miss him as much as she does now.
Maybe she became more pampered after giving birth!
Gu Ye finished his lunch at home and cultivated the father-son and father-daughter relationship with his son and daughter until there was a knock on the door.
"Jiang Yue, I have to go!" Gu Ye put Gu Qing down and looked at Jiang Yue with his beautiful black eyes.
Jiang Yue threw herself into Gu Ye's arms and hugged him tightly.
Gu Ye lifted Jiang Yue's chin and leaned over to kiss her.
When the knock on the door sounded again, Gu Ye put on the backpack at the door, turned back and looked at Jiang Yue deeply again, then opened the door and left.
