Several people stared at each other in confusion.
Li Debao reacted quickly. While Li Qingyun was distracted, he picked up his shoes and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Li Qingyun had no intention of chasing him. She looked at the car outside her house. It was a military vehicle.
Jiang Fan had not expected that when they first arrived at Gu Tingzhou's house, they would be greeted by such a chaotic scene.
He exchanged a glance with the driver, Xiao Song, and smiled awkwardly. He cleared his throat, stepped forward, and said, "Is this your sister-in-law? I'm Tingzhou's good brother, Jiang Fan. I'm here to escort him home."
Li Qingyun immediately retracted the hand waving the kitchen knife, hid it behind her back, and smiled awkwardly at Jiang Fan.
I was feeling nervous and confused. I was about to meet my cheap husband and I was a little afraid of being exposed.
That's not right. The book doesn't mention Gu Tingzhou returning to his hometown. He has always been a workaholic and rarely goes home.
Even if your mind has gone through ten or eight twists and turns, it actually only takes a moment.
Li Qingyun forced herself to smile appropriately.
"Brother Jiang, where is our family boat? Why do we need you to escort us?"
Xiao Song immediately opened the back door, revealing a handsome face with a calm expression.
It was the Gu Tingzhou in Li Zhaodi's memory.
He glanced at Li Qingyun calmly, without any extra expression.
Jiang Fan was explaining the reason on the side, and Li Qingyun listened absent-mindedly, her hand holding the kitchen knife tightly clenched. Why did she feel her heart was about to jump out of her chest just by looking at this man?
"Brother Jiang, don't blame yourself. You and I are comrades-in-arms, and it's only natural that we help each other.
Is his injury serious? Will it affect his future actions?
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. The bullet just grazed his leg and the shrapnel has been removed. The doctor said that as long as he rests well, he will be able to recover and it will not affect his future activities and work.
However, his wounds had not yet fully healed, but he insisted on being discharged from the hospital and returning home, so I had no choice but to escort him back."
Jiang Fan silently observed the reaction of the woman in front of him and temporarily felt relieved.
Gu Tingzhou had never talked about his wife, only occasionally about his children. He thought his wife was the kind of ignorant rural woman whose parents had arranged a marriage for her.
The result was unexpected. His wife was very beautiful, fair-skinned, charming but not vulgar. Even wearing a gray dress could not conceal her temperament.
Her conversation, manners, and behavior are all good so far, and she seems to be a reasonable woman.
He didn't know what was going on between her and the man who just ran away, but it was none of his business.
"That's good, that's good. Look at me, I was so confused that I let you stand at the door and talk. Please come in." Li Qingyun said as he opened the door a little.
Jiang Fan and Xiao Song helped Gu Tingzhou get out of the car. He could already walk slowly by himself, but it was not good to pull the wound, so he needed to use one leg for support.
Come to think of it, this serious couple had never spoken a word to each other since they met.
It was strange that both of them had their own concerns and neither chose to speak first.
Instead, Jiang Fan communicated with Li Qingyun as they walked, discussing issues such as how to accommodate Gu Tingzhou, how to care for his wounds, dietary restrictions, and wound recovery.
He took them to the room where they were currently staying and asked Gu Tingzhou to lie down on the kang.
There's no way. This is the only room we're using at home right now, and the guest room hasn't been decorated.
Gu Tingzhou was half-sitting on the kang, with no time to think about anything else. The only things in his eyes and mind were the two little guys beside the kang.
"Dabao, come here and let daddy see you." Gu Tingzhou said in a voice as soft as possible, looking at the two children intently.
Dabao protected his younger brother and huddled at the end of the kang, his big eyes warily looking at the strangers who came in. He had a very faint memory of the man who claimed to be his father, but he hadn't seen him for so long that his memory had become vague. He was only three years old last year and didn't remember much.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Gu Tingzhou's face, but quickly disappeared.
Seeing Dabao's reaction, Li Qingyun quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Dabao, call someone, this is your dad, have you forgotten? These two are your dad's friends, you should call them uncle."
When Dabao heard his mother speak, he relaxed and called out "Dad" and "Uncle".
Jiang Fan reached into his arms and rubbed them awkwardly. There was no fruit candy or anything in his arms, so he couldn't take anything out.
"Good boy, come here, use this to buy some candy." Jiang Fan took out a big unity banknote, squatted down and stuffed it into Dabao's hand.
Dabao knew that this was money. Mom used to love counting money, so this was a good thing.
He pushed it back without hesitation.
"Uncle, Mom has already bought me a lot of candy, big hemp flowers, and shortbread. I don't want any."
Gu Tingzhou was relieved to see that the child was not blinded by money.
"Jiang Fan, take it back. It's not necessary. The child is still young."
Jiang Fan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I forgot to buy some snacks for the child, Dabao. When uncle gets home, I will send you a lot of delicious candies and chocolates. Take this first and save it for buying candy."
Seeing that he insisted on giving it to the child, Gu Tingzhou did not stop him. Li Qingyun knew that this meant that she could accept it. When Dabao looked at her, she said, "Take it. Thank you, uncle."
Dabao took the Great Unity with both hands, held it in his palms with care, and smiled with his eyes narrowed into a small crescent.
"Thank you, uncle." After saying that, he solemnly handed the money to my mother for safekeeping.
It made everyone laugh.
"Thank you so much, brothers, for bringing our family boat back. It's not easy to drive such a long way. If you don't mind, how about you rest at my house for a night to replenish your energy before returning?"
