Chapter 148: Prosperity 148: Useless
Gu Qinglie was supposed to come here half a month later, but was sent to the Southern Military Region early for some reasons. He has been eating his brother's meals at the Air Crew Kitchen these past two days.
"Old customer." Chu Zhao strode out of the Air Force Group Command Post. He was seen wearing sunglasses and looking around with his hands behind his back. He was wearing a military green summer uniform. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a leader on inspection.
The tall man wearing sunglasses turned around and nodded slightly at him.
Chu Zhao looked at his two exposed bronze arms, and after confirming that he had recognized the right person, he raised his hand and hooked down his sunglasses: "What are you doing? The Air Force Group Army has been on edge these past two days. I thought someone came down from above."
Gu Qinglie pretended to be reserved and pushed the sunglasses on his nose up again: "I'm just curious and want to look around."
"You, let's go and eat first, don't go to the flight attendant stove. You can eat your brother's food, but my allowance is almost gone." Chu Zhao patted his shoulder, and the two went to the cafeteria side by side.
"I heard that you were injured. Now you're healed. I thought you hurt your eyes because you were wearing sunglasses, but there wasn't anything wrong when I looked at you just now." Chu Zhao was a little confused.
"Sunglasses are not for covering wounds." Gu Qinglie smiled bitterly and said, "I may not be able to hold a gun in the future."
"Hmm?" Chu Zhao frowned, "What do you mean?"
He only knew that Gu Qinglie was ordered to lead a small team to go deep behind enemy lines and beheaded the enemy generals cleanly and swiftly, and also destroyed their arsenal. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to negotiate.
The two countries are now discussing compensation and establishing diplomatic relations.
"Nothing." Gu Qinglie looked up at the sky through his sunglasses. A few birds were flying by. He said in a relaxed tone, "I don't have to go to war anymore."
Chu Zhao, however, could hear some reluctance and bitterness in his voice, but seeing that he didn't say anything, he didn't want to ask any more questions. They were all men, all soldiers, and some wounds they could only heal in secret.
The Air Force Group is very large, and it took half an hour to reach the cafeteria door. Gu Qinglie crossed the bench with his long legs, rested his left hand on the table, and put his right hand on his knee.
Chu Zhao went to get some food. He was afraid that the soldiers would be frightened when they saw Gu Qinglie like this. There were often people coming down from above to inspect ethics, and it would be troublesome to deal with them.
Because the man was wearing sunglasses, the soldiers passing by couldn't help but glance sideways, and Gu Qinglie just nodded lazily.
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
This guy exudes the character of a soldier and it is obvious at first glance that he is not a strict police officer.
Most of them came from some hilltop, and were either stationed near the border or blasting blasters in the deep mountains and forests.
Their pace also quickened.
Chu Zhao brought two lunch boxes over and said, "Ordinary air force soldiers don't have as good a meal as your brother's. Just deal with the two of them."
Blanched shrimp, mapo tofu, spicy shredded potatoes, stir-fried lotus root, and stir-fried pork.
Gu Qinglie's mouth twitched, "You call this a countermeasure? We have both northern and southern cuisines. You guys in the military district should really go to the border town and suffer a little."
"What you said," Chu Zhao pushed the lunch box to him and handed over the chopsticks, "It's the same as what we said in the military region. People eat dry rice every day. The air force canteen is also better. You go to the field army and see that it's only slightly better than your border town. We live by the sea and you are short of supplies and can't send them over. What can we do?!"
Hearing that he was getting angry, Gu Qinglie waved his hands and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Why did I hear that someone from the field army was chasing my brother?"
This time Chu Zhao calmed down and nodded, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Yes, the Air Force and the Field Army had a drill some time ago, and the Air Force undoubtedly won."
"They thought that the eagle in the sky couldn't beat the tiger when it came down to earth, so they called it borrowing your brother, but in fact, they secretly held a competition."
"The team led by your brother won a decisive victory, but was targeted by a female sniper."
"Hmm?" Gu Qinglie leaned forward slightly, and his sunglasses slipped down a little, but he didn't care. He looked straight at Chu Zhao: "This lesbian has a crush on my brother?"
"Yes," Chu Zhao also found it funny because he had known this female comrade since he was a child. This guy has a very hot temper. "Even your brother is so cold, he doesn't care about it. People come to the group army to block him every day."
"It's useless." Gu Qinglie picked up a piece of Mapo tofu and was about to put it to his mouth when it fell into the lunch box and broke into crumbs.
"Yes, your brother refused to give in to her persuasion, and this female comrade got angry and went to the commander of the field army to ask for help from the organization to solve her personal problem."
Chu Zhao laughed like crazy when he heard this, and now he couldn't help but smile: "Do you know who the field army commander is? It's her father. She asked her father to help her chase men."
The tofu that Gu Qinglie had worked so hard to add fell into the lunch box again. He leaned slightly against the wall and laughed wildly: "I was wondering why my brother's eyes have become colder and colder these past two days, as if someone had beaten up my sister. So this is what's going on."
Chu Zhao's shoulders also trembled for a long time before he recovered. "Well, let me tell you, this female comrade grew up with me in the compound, and she is also my sister. She is a nice person, but she has a bad temper. How about you persuade your brother to think about it?"
"I can't help you with this." Gu Qinglie dipped the shrimp in the mapo tofu twice and stuffed it into his mouth without peeling it. "My sister is that kind of noisy. My brother and I have been abused by her since we were young. It was not easy for Chu Dai to take over. I dare not find another one like her."
Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? You look down on my sister? After all, she is the daughter of a field army commander, how can she not be worthy of your brother?"
Gu Qinglie: "...No, it's just that our personalities are not compatible, you know, an iceberg and a volcano, that's bound to cause trouble."
Chu Zhao squinted at him for a while, then nodded and said, "Actually, I understand what you mean. Which man doesn't want to find a gentle and lovely woman? But a strong man must have the courage to challenge. You say that, right? Look at Old Chu, isn't he being completely dominated by your sister?"
"That's just his fate." Gu Qinglie put down his chopsticks with a bang and frowned, "What do you mean? What's wrong with my sister? Believe it or not, I'll tell my brother that you look down on my sister."
"Alright, alright, you Gu family members are also holding grudges. They say something against you and they have to pay it back to make you feel happy." Chu Zhao knew he was joking and asked, "When are we going to the island?"
"Tomorrow." Gu Qinglie thought of his sister and his expression relaxed: "I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things in the afternoon. My brother stuffed a bunch of tickets into my hand."
"The supply ship will depart on time at 6 a.m., don't be late."
"Know."
Chu Dai received the telegram from the military region and told the little woman about it when he got home that night. Gu Qingqing's eyes were full of joy: "Then I'll go and make the quilts in the upstairs room first? My brother will be here tomorrow, that's great, he can arrive around 2pm, right?"
"Almost." Seeing her excitedly turning around and trying to get a quilt from the closet, the man reminded her, "There's a quilt in the closet upstairs."
"Yes." Gu Qingqing tapped her head and smiled awkwardly: "I don't know why I always forget things recently."
The man held her waist and let her go when they reached the stairs. He let her go upstairs first and protected her from behind: "It must be that the arrival of these two little guys has made their mother's already insufficient brains even more insufficient."
Gu Qingqing nodded repeatedly at first, then looked down at the man behind her after she came to her senses. Finally, she reached out and rubbed his hair, then withdrew her hand happily and walked up.
Chu Dai: "..."
Shen Sui was doing his homework, which included the assignments from the school and other requests from Mr. Qin. Chu Dai hadn't brought any books with him before, so he sent a telegram asking Gu Qinglie to bring some books from his room.
Gu Qinglie lives in the Chu family's military compound, which makes it convenient for him to do things.
An orange light was reflected on the floor outside through the gap of the half-open door frame. Gu Qingqing quietly leaned over the door and took a look. The boy was standing straight, holding a pencil and doing his homework.
Chu Dai found her expression somewhat amusing. He was about to speak when the woman covered his mouth with her hand. "Don't disturb him while he is doing his homework," she said softly.
The man nodded and followed her into the next room.
The large living room upstairs has been converted into two rooms. There are five doors on a corridor, one leading to Shen Sui's bedroom, one to the bathroom, one to the balcony, and the other three doors lead to three rooms.
While they were building the wall, Chen Jiefang asked, "Captain Chu, there's no need to build this. Didn't my sister say that after Ah Sui finishes junior high school, he will follow Mr. Qin to the capital to study in high school? That's only three or four years away."
What he meant was that the two rooms upstairs were big enough for the two nephews to live in, and that the nephews would have to live with their parents during the years that Shen Sui was studying.
Chu Dai said, "This is Shen Sui's house, so of course he has a room."
Gu Qingqing and the man pulled the bed sheet together. She saw some wrinkles and wanted to climb onto the bed to smooth them out. The man carried her to the bedside and sat down, "I'll do it."
Sometimes Gu Qingqing has no awareness of being a pregnant woman at all. Yesterday, she was standing on tiptoe to pick papayas from the back mountain. The man stood behind her and watched her silently without saying a word.
Because the papaya tree was quite tall and Chu Dai couldn't reach it after trying for a long time, the little woman actually rolled up her sleeves and pretended to climb the tree. When Chu Dai couldn't help but step forward, she awkwardly withdrew her hand from the tree trunk and touched her belly.
Finally, the man brought her a basket of papayas and reminded her again: "You have a man and a brother. If you want to do something, just ask and someone will do it for you. Don't do it yourself."
The man smoothed out all the edges. Gu Qingqing sat by the bed and watched him fetch the chest from the closet. She asked him, "Is my brother really not injured?"
The man didn't know how to answer, so he just leaned over and kissed her, "You'll know tomorrow."
The next morning, Gu Qingqing got up early and saw Shen Sui sweeping the yard. She took a glass of water and brushed her teeth beside him: "Ah Sui, my second brother is coming over today. Are you nervous?"
Shen Sui paused in his sweeping motion and shook his head: "Everyone in my sister's family is very nice. I'm not nervous."
Gu Qingqing was happy. She rinsed her mouth and said to him, "Come in and have your meal. We have to go to school later."
