Chapter 64 Xiao Gu's Thoughts

I spent the noon with Commander Gu, Minister Bai and others. The reason why this group of people could get together to celebrate the New Year was simply because no one was there to be with.

The old man lost his wife a few years ago, and his children are in the military camp, so there is no one to accompany him during the New Year. Of course, if he wants someone to accompany him, there are many people who will go to his side and show him their courtesy, but there is no need.

Walter White does have a lover, but she has no time for him. She is working hard for the satellite navigation business. It is said that the last time they met was a few months ago. They have no children. They didn't have time to have children when they were young, and they were past the childbearing period when they were older. As for adoption, they don't have time to have their own children, so how can they adopt other people's children?

As for Yingqiu, he got divorced due to work reasons, and his child lives with his ex-wife. During the New Year, the child has to accompany his mother, and he has nothing to do. And since he is Lao Bai's secretary, he just lives with Lao Bai.

…

There were also some staff officers, political commissars, etc. It was quite lively. No one thought there was anything wrong with Ye Qinglan being among this group of people, and Lao Bai and Lao Gu took her everywhere.

After lunch, Commander Gu finally received a caring call from his son.

Even after showing concern, the customer was reluctant to hang up the phone.

The customer looked at the phone and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Gu hesitated for a long time, then suddenly had an idea and asked, "Did Comrade Xiao Qing spend the New Year in Beijing?"

I thought to myself that this wasn't really a mission to find out about her, it was just a New Year's greeting.

Teacher Xiao Ye might have another mission. She left on an urgent matter that day and I haven't heard from her since. I don't know how she is doing now.

"Hey!" Commander Gu was amused: "You've been wasting your time just to ask this?"

Gu Huaizhi was somewhat embarrassed by his laughter: "Dad!"

"I've been thick-skinned all my life, and I don't know how I gave birth to you." Commander Gu said unhappily, "She's in the capital, wait a minute, I'll have someone go and invite her over."

Gu Huaizhi still said: "My mother gave birth to me."

I kept thinking to myself that he was just a little thin-skinned when it came to emotions.

Besides, isn't it normal to be thin-skinned around a girl you like?

Yes, after not seeing each other for a while, Gu Huaizhi finally figured out why he was so happy every time he saw Ye Qinglan, and why he still looked forward to seeing her when he couldn't see her, because he liked her. As for the difference between liking and loving, he didn't understand, but he was moved anyway.

At this time, I heard that Ye Qinglan was spending the New Year in Beijing, and I finally felt relieved.

Commander Gu: “…”

If this wasn't my biological son, I would have hung up the phone.

However, he was even more speechless when he heard his eldest son instruct him, "Today is the New Year. Don't forget to give New Year's money to Comrade Xiaoqing and me later. Give more. If she goes back to Lingcheng, ask her helper to bring it back to me."

Xiao Gu thought secretly, if he helped to send a red envelope, wouldn't he be able to see Comrade Xiao Qing again?

Commander Gu: “…”

In the end, I couldn't help it and hung up the phone.

Then he asked the guards to find Ye Qinglan, and Ye Qinglan came over after a while.

As if on cue, the phone rang as soon as Ye Qinglan arrived.

Commander Gu was too lazy to answer the call, pointing at the phone in disdain: "Huaizhi is looking for you, you two can chat."

She didn't feel embarrassed to make the call in front of Commander Gu.

"Comrade Huaizhi, Happy New Year."

Hearing this brisk and crisp voice, Gu Huaizhi's eyebrows curved.

"Comrade Xiaoqing, Happy New Year. How have you been recently? Is your work going well? Are you feeling well? Are you also spending the Lantern Festival in Beijing? This morning, our troops made dumplings together. I learned from the master and also learned how to make glutinous rice balls. Would you like to try it? And..."

A bunch of questions.

It's like the younger generation caring about the older generation.

But Ye Qinglan knew what he really wanted to say, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine and not injured. The arrangements for the Lantern Festival are still uncertain, but I will come to find you if I return to Lingcheng."

"Well, I'll be waiting for you, don't forget."

"I won't forget. Did you eat two pieces of cake last time?" Ye Qinglan asked with a smile.

"How can I not do what you said? I even left the number 131 on purpose."

Ye Qinglan clicked his tongue, quite clever.

She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have something for you when I get back. That's it, I'm hanging up now."

After all, it was the customer's office call, and the customer was sitting there drinking tea. Even if it wasn't awkward, it wouldn't be a good idea to chat for too long.

Gu Huaizhi hung up the phone happily.

On the way back to the dormitory, I kept thinking about Ye Qinglan. I was thinking, she is always so fierce when sparring with me, will she be even more fierce and more charming when fighting with others?

But compared to watching her fight with others, I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to fight alongside her.

Ye Qinglan had just hung up the phone when someone came to call the commander and said that they could leave to watch the party.

This party was supposed to be held a few days ago, but due to some matters it was repeatedly postponed and could not be held. If we canceled it, we would have wasted half a year of preparation. Finally, the boss decided to hold it on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, just in time for the family reunion dinner.

Commander Gu called Ye Qinglan: "That's perfect, you can ride in the same car with me, so you don't have to look for Lao Bai and the others anymore."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The party was held in the Army Auditorium.

The whole event was quick and exciting. The reason I say this is that each leader’s speech was limited to one to two minutes, and the show started as soon as they finished speaking.

As expected of a show that the art troupe had been rehearsing for half a year, it was of very high quality. Ye Qinglan felt that it was no worse than those large-scale Spring Festival Galas.

After the party, there is the reunion dinner.

After the reunion dinner, the old folks decided to go back to rest and did not plan to spend the New Year's Eve with the young people.

When leaving, the old man called Ye Qinglan over and took out a red envelope. He was quite obedient to his son: "Children should have New Year's money, and I will give it to you young ones too. Here are two, one is for Huaizhi, you can help me run an errand and give it to him when the time comes."

This operation——

It was hard for Ye Qinglan not to see through it.

Not only her, but everyone else saw through it.

Minister Bai took out the red envelope and complained: "You really try every means to create opportunities for Huaizhi. What does your Huaizhi do for himself? He needs help from his family to pursue a partner."

Commander Gu rolled his eyes at him, and he really rolled his eyes: "Would you like to take a look at the nature of your department's work before you speak?"

In his heart, Huaizhi was still talking about how Xiaoqing was running around everywhere. It was hard for him to do anything! Lao Bai was a person who didn't understand and had no sentiment. If his lover was still alive, even if he wasn't by her side, he would go to see her no matter what if he knew where she was.

Old White is too lazy to argue with him. Even if the nature of our work is not good, it was you who let your son run for election!
