There are some large slopes nearby, and on the slopes are cattle, sheep and horses grazing.
Jiang Mengxue saw that there were many soldiers patrolling around with guns, and they looked alert.
Jiang Mengxue pulled Gu Qingbei and looked at the soldiers with guns below.
"Why do they have guns? Are they still a threat within your unit's area? Could someone come and steal the sheep?"
Gu Qingbei was stunned by the question. Stealing sheep? Who would have the guts to come to the army and steal things?
He said with a smile: "What nonsense are you thinking about? Although there are no wild beasts like in the mountains here, sometimes there are wolves coming to steal sheep, so soldiers have to carry knives and guns at all times.
We also have a lot of sheepdogs, big, fierce hunting dogs. If a wolf approaches, they will bark to warn it."
Jiang Mengxue nodded, squinted her eyes and looked into the distance, as if there was a black dot running towards her.
Gu Qingbei also saw it and blew a whistle, and the black spot rushed over faster.
Jiang Mengxue was startled and wanted to pull Gu Qingbei back to hide.
Gu Qingbei smiled soothingly, indicating that there was no danger, and held her hand without moving.
Maybe it was because Gu Qingbei was around, so Jiang Mengxue felt particularly at ease and no longer thought about hiding.
It turned out to be a large hunting dog. Zhang Mengxue thought it was a German Shepherd at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was not.
"Laizhou Red Dogs are incredibly fast and powerful. This one is called the Leader. He's the first born and the strongest of the litter, and he's also a great hunter."
The leader held a black rabbit in his mouth and placed it at Gu Qingbei's feet, then sat down and looked up at Gu Qingbei, wagging his tail as if to take credit.
Gu Qingbei smiled and patted the leader's head: "Well done."
Then he took out a dagger from his waist and skinned the rabbit and cut it in half.
Looking at Gu Qingbei's actions from above, he understood what he meant and turned around and barked a few times towards the distance.
After a while, another hound came running over. It was smaller than the leader, but they were of the same breed.
The leader hung up half a rabbit and placed it in front of the dog. He watched it eat happily, but did not touch his own half.
The leader kept staring at the dog while it was eating, and then gave it his half.
Gu Qingbei was also a little surprised. Usually, when the leader caught prey, he would put the prey in front of people and let them clean it and eat it. No soldier dared to snatch his prey.
At the beginning, the leader would eat the entire prey by himself and would not share it with other brothers and sisters.
But later on, I don't know how he fell in love with Hongdou, a hunting dog from another team.
From then on, every time he caught prey, he would give half to Hongdou.
But this time, the leader was willing to share a whole one? I hadn't even taken a single bite.
Gu Qingbei stared at the leader curiously, wondering what tricks it was playing.
Could it be that Red Bean has become more attractive recently?
Jiang Mengxue didn't think about the leader, thinking that there must be something wrong when things were abnormal.
Sure enough, the subtle changes in Hongdou's abdomen did not escape Jiang Mengxue's eyes.
"Is Hongdou pregnant? Even though her belly hasn't changed much, it's still noticeable."
Gu Qingbei didn't think about it that way. After all, Hongdou had already given birth to a litter of puppies before, and those puppies were now over one year old and were assigned to other teams to help with herding.
"Chief, your wife is pregnant again."
The leader had a smile on his face as he sat next to Hongdou and barked proudly at Gu Qingbei several times.
Looking at his smug expression, Gu Qingbei wanted to beat him up twice.
"What are you so proud of? You act like no one has any problem."
He glanced at Jiang Mengxue's belly, then looked at Gu Qingbei with contempt.
"No, what does it mean? Does it look down on me?"
Jiang Mengxue was helpless. What was there to compare? Besides, you really can't compare to others. How can you give birth to one child at a time and others give birth to a whole litter at a time?
"Can a human giving birth to four or five children in their lifetime be the same as a dog giving birth to four or five children in a litter?
The chieftain will be a grandfather in a few years, but you still have to wait another 20 or 30 years."
I don’t know if it was because he felt that he had lost, but Gu Qingbei was in a bad mood afterwards.
On the contrary, the chief was extremely satisfied watching his wife enjoy a delicious meal, and the couple went back to graze.
"Hongdou gave birth to four cubs in her first litter. The first one born was as good as the leader. Don't underestimate her age. It's only a matter of time before she surpasses the leader."
Gu Qingbei was still upset about the look the leader had just given him, and thought he had to find an opportunity to have the leader's son come over and provoke it.
Of course, Gu Qingbei would not tell Jiang Mengxue such a petty thing.
At noon, the two of them got lunch and ate alone in the dormitory. Gu Qingbei went out and made an appointment with others to have dinner together in the cafeteria in the evening.
The two of them brought several large cans of meat and took them to the cafeteria. They had someone add some vegetables to it and reprocess it, and also added some cured meats that Jiang Mengxue brought.
There were two dishes on the table, which was considered quite sumptuous.
Because it was an additional meal, it would be uncomfortable for other soldiers to watch them eat, so a few tables were set up behind the kitchen.
The first one to arrive was Lu Zhengming, who brought two bottles of wine.
"Why did you bring wine? I'm already prepared."
"Hey, of course we have to drink to our heart's content. We weren't there when you got married, so this is just to make up for it."
After a while, the three regimental commanders behind arrived with their respective battalion commanders and company commanders.
The commander of the first regiment is Zhang Liming, the commander of the second regiment is Duan Yunda, and the commander of the third regiment is Yue Guanghao.
In addition, there are the regimental commanders and political commissars, battalion commanders and political instructors, and company commanders and political instructors of the three regiments.
Including the deputies, there are quite a lot of people, but fortunately the two of them are well prepared, and they can't be too stingy when treating guests.
As for the leadership, Gu Qingbei only invited his direct superiors, the division commander Ji Menglong and the political commissar Meng Qingzhou.
Commander: Qi Jiajun, Political Commissar: Cai Jiangli.
Several company commanders and battalion commanders sat at one table, while regimental commanders and above sat at another table.
Looking at the food on the table, Qi Jiajun's eyes were deep, but the smile on his lips remained unchanged.
"Xiao Gu has spent a lot of money today. As the leaders of the military region, we should just follow the standards of the military district cafeteria. There is no need to spend so much money."
Gu Qingbei naturally understood the hidden meaning of his words.
"No, it just so happened that my wife came from her hometown, and these were all prepared by my family.
My wife and I had a wedding banquet at home and didn't get to invite everyone for a drink, so I'll make up for it today. Commander Qi, please take the seat."
Gu Qingbei has just been transferred to the current military region for more than two months, so it would not be said that everyone is very familiar with him.
However, those who have served under Gu Zhenhai will naturally be closer to him.
Division Commander Ji Menglong and First Regiment Commander Zhang Liming are both on Gu Qingbei's side.
If other people can talk about it in a roundabout way, it may be related, but there is no need for it at the moment.
"This must be Xiao Gu's wife, she's really stunningly beautiful. No wonder Xiao Gu looked down upon the women in the art troupe before. It turns out his wife is the best, hahaha."
