Chapter 36 Captain Gu walks towards her with flowers in his hands
Hearing the little girl's shy address to him, Gu Yuan actually felt... very sweet and replied, "The military district has decided to hold a simple wedding for us in the cafeteria this afternoon."
Lu Chiyu was shocked: "Ah, the military district is going to hold a wedding for us? What do we need help with?"
Gu Yuan shook his head: "No need. Brigade Commander Qin said that he just wanted to gather everyone for a meal, and we can just attend then."
Then he pointed at the three large sacks on the ground and said, "These are the things Mom sent us. Ah...Ayu, do you want to open them now?"
Gu Yuan felt a little embarrassed to be called "Ayu", but after calling it out, his heart was filled with an inexplicable sweetness.
"Yes." Lu Chiyu responded without hesitation.
Ten minutes later, she was stunned by the pile of things in the living room.
The most items were clothes, and they were all for her, more than thirty pieces in total!
There are dresses, shirts and pants, sweaters, and coats.
There are even scarves, shawls, socks and shoes.
There are two pairs of trendy sandals, two pairs of white sneakers, four pairs of small leather shoes and so much more!
In addition to clothes, there were also five or six boxes of skin care products of various brands and a cosmetic bag. Lu Chiyu was stunned by the sight. It turned out that there were so many skin care and makeup products in the 1970s.
The rest was food, including all kinds of famous Kyoto snacks, White Rabbit milk candies and other canned candies that filled an entire sack, and there were even ten boxes of various imported chocolates and two cans of coffee.
Looking at the amount of these things, Captain Gu couldn't help but twitch his lips. He seriously doubted that none of these things belonged to him.
He also suspected that because there had been no newborns in the family for a long time, his mother raised the little girl as a child.
Sure enough, there was a letter among these things, and it was written on the outside of the letter that it was also addressed to Lu Chiyu.
The letter is this.
"Hello, my dear daughter-in-law. I am Tang Wenqin, Gu Xiaoer's mother. We are very happy to hear that Gu Xiaoer is going to marry you.
You know about Xiao Er's situation, but you are still willing to marry him. We are all very grateful to you, especially when we heard that you went to the island alone. We admire your courage even more. My daughter, you are a good child. In the future, you will not only be my, Tang Wenqin's, daughter-in-law, but I will also treat you as my own daughter. It just so happens that your mother has no daughter in this life.
Unfortunately, we can't take leave to go to the island, so we can only send you some things. As for the betrothal gifts and red envelopes, you can spend them as you like. After you spend them, I will send you more.
If we can get some time off during the Chinese New Year, we will go to the island to see you, or you can come back to Kyoto during your vacation. I hope that our family can have a reunion dinner then.
Finally, you two young couples should take care of your health and love each other. If the waiter doesn't listen to you, you can just beat him for me, don't be polite.
Love your mother Tang Wenqin."
After reading the letter, Lu Chiyu couldn't help but chuckle. Nowadays, most people write letters in a very formal manner. Such an interesting and humorous letter from Gu's mother is simply a breath of fresh air.
It is not difficult to see that her mother-in-law is a very interesting and straightforward person. I believe there will be no conflicts between them in the future.
After seeing the letter, Lu Chiyu even had the urge to reply to the other party immediately, but Gu Yuan persuaded him to have breakfast first.
Gu Yuan got up and made breakfast, which turned out to be shredded chicken porridge and two boiled eggs, which were now warm in the pot at just the right temperature.
He got up early and went to the nearby production team market to buy the chicken, and the eggs were given to him by the military wives.
Then Lu Chiyu was told by her soldier that she had to eat two boiled eggs every day to nourish her body, saying that research showed that people with malnutrition should eat two eggs a day.
Fortunately, Lu Chiyu likes to eat boiled eggs, but he couldn't help asking: "If we eat them every day, where do we get so many eggs?"
Moreover, they had to kill chickens early in the morning. Lu Chiyu suddenly had a feeling that if this continued, no matter how high her soldier's allowance was, it would be eaten up.
Gu Yuan said, "Don't worry about this. I will find a way."
Looking at the soldier's determined expression, Lu Chiyu could only nod: "Yeah." He accepted the friendship in his heart.
After breakfast, Gu Yuan asked Lu Chiyu to write down how she wanted to decorate the house. Lu Chiyu was very enthusiastic about this.
With the huge sum of 500 yuan given by He Manman and his wife, they don’t have to worry about money to renovate their house!
First, the toilet was built, stone slabs were installed in the front yard, and the walls in the house were repainted. In addition, Lu Chiyu decided to turn the large window in their master bedroom into a bay window, so that she could sit on the bay window and look at the sea downstairs.
Install a curtain on the bay window, and it will be so beautiful to look at this window every night when you go to bed!
There is also a backyard where Lu Chiyu plans to build a stone road leading to it, and then use the stone road to separate the backyard into several plots for growing vegetables, which will be so neat and tidy.
Lu Chiyu wrote the renovation plan very smoothly, but every item in it was an idea that would cost money like water!
Not to mention anything else, just laying bluestone slabs costs a lot of money.
It can be said that even the most profligate daughter-in-law in their military region could not have imagined such a style of decoration!
By the time Lu Chiyu finished writing, her soldier brother had also prepared lunch.
After reading the plan, our team leader Gu agreed to do so without even frowning. The main point was that the man dotes on his wife to death.
After lunch, Qian Fanghua from next door and two sisters-in-law of similar age came to visit.
One of them was named Luo Yu and the other was named Guo Caixia. They were the wives of the two battalion commanders of Gu Yuan’s regiment.
But the purpose of their visit shocked Lu Chiyu. They actually came to dress her up for the wedding in the afternoon.
Lu Chiyu: ...Didn’t you say it was just a simple meal?
Finally, under their enthusiasm, she changed into a red dress and a long red coat sent by Gu's mother.
As for shoes, she wore a pair of pink leather shoes that Gu Yuan had bought for her before.
Then Lu Chiyu used a red rubber band to tie a bun on her head.
She deliberately let her hair down and make it look very lively.
As for her makeup, she didn't put on much, just traced her eyebrows, applied lipstick, and a little highlighter.
Although hard work is required at this time, they still don't care about getting married or dressing up, especially since they are in the southern island military region and the environment is much more relaxed.
However, Lu Chiyu didn't wear any jewelry, so he just tidied up a little and that was it.
But when she went downstairs, Qian Fanghua and the others were stunned.
Just at this moment, Gu Yuan came in from the courtyard gate with a bunch of roses. When he saw Lu Chiyu coming down from upstairs, he was also stunned.
Lu Chiyu was also amazed by Gu Yuan at this moment.
I saw that he had changed into a brand new military uniform with the discipline button fastened to the top.
He held a beautiful rose in his hand and stood there straight like a strong pine tree, warm and graceful.
Under the brim of his hat, his eyebrows and eyes are as deep as if they were carved by a knife and an axe, his nose bridge is vertical and tall, and his firm and handsome features make him look full of security and fatal attraction!
Seeing her soldier walking towards her with his most captivating long legs, Lu Chiyu's heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Lu Chiyu felt that she could remember this scene for the rest of her life!
"Ayu, let's go to the cafeteria. Everyone is waiting for us there." Gu Yuan came to Lu Chiyu and used all his restraint to say this calmly.
No one knew that beneath his calm appearance, his heart had long been out of control.
Lu Chiyu nodded: "Okay."
Then Gu Yuan gave the flowers in his hand to Lu Chiyu, and then took her hand and walked out side by side.
