Chapter 221: Prosperity 221 Be safe and come back soon. ...
But he has a good personality. Although he is a bit careless, he is thoughtful.
She doesn't have to worry about Gousheng. He is an Air Force pilot and he is good-looking, so he will definitely not spend a lot of money.
And looking at Xiao Xiao's attack, Gou Sheng might be melted at any time.
Her second brother has a difficult time.
I've never heard him mention any girls, and the Construction Corps... doesn't even have a female military doctor, only my sister-in-law who followed the army.
Fortunately, in two months, he will be transferred to the Southern Military Region. This is the headquarters of the military region. In addition to the gentle female comrades in the art troupe, there are also some girls working in clerical positions.
You'll always find the right one.
Not long after, Gu Qinglie came over. Seeing her staring blankly ahead, he raised his hand and waved, "What are you going to do, girl?"
Gu Qingqing reacted, grabbed his hand and threw it aside, "What did you guys talk about that made you look so happy?"
At this point, Gu Qinglie felt a little embarrassed: "My sister-in-law said she wanted to introduce me to someone, her niece from her mother's family."
"Huh? You agreed?" Otherwise why would you be laughing so happily.
"No," Gu Qinglie put his arm around her shoulders and walked towards the military compound. "I asked her what her niece from her mother's side looked like, and she said she looked like your sister. I was so angry when I heard that, I quickly refused."
Gu Qingqing: "..." She raised her foot and stepped on him. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. "It's not Gu Qinglie, how dare you be so picky based on what you look like."
"Are you still abandoning me?"
Gu Qinglie laughed heartily: "No, I just hate myself. Who told us to look so much alike?"
"Bullshit! I look like the big brother."
"Don't speak so badly in front of Tuantuan and Nian Nian in the future. It's not good." Gu Qinglie then thought of his two little nephews: "Where are they? Have they returned home?"
"The son of the sister-in-law I'm introducing to you has taken them away, and Ah Sui is following." Gu Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Are you sleepy?"
"Hmm?" Gu Qinglie sensed something else in her words: "If you have something to say, just say it directly."
"Why don't we go to a department store?" Gu Qingqing said, "I have some money on me, and the industrial coupons my father gave me when I got married. I want to buy two watches."
"Don't you have a watch?" Although he said that, Gu Qinglie still took her in his arms and turned around, heading towards the military district gate: "Can Ah Sui take care of the two children?"
"Sure, they're full so they won't make much noise." Gu Qingqing said, "The department store isn't far away. We can walk there in 20 minutes and be back soon."
"It would be nice to have a bicycle," she murmured.
Gu Qinglie wanted to help her, but couldn't get the ticket.
The brother and sister walked quickly towards the department store, chatting from time to time.
After walking for about twenty minutes, I saw a three-story building at the end of the street. It was quite large.
Nanyang is a province with a good economy. This state-owned department store was built to provide convenience for soldiers and their wives. The department stores in the central city are even bigger.
But it’s far away, not within the military zone, so you have to take a car to get there.
Following Gu Qinglie into the department store, what caught my eye was a dazzling array of goods, including many imported gadgets.
There are three counters and three sales clerks on each floor.
The first floor is for daily necessities, such as pots, pans, paper and pens.
The second floor is the clothing area. All the clothes are made by the state-owned clothing factories. The styles are not very eye-catching. Gu Qingqing always feels that she and Chu Dai have seen these clothes when they came here two years ago.
He took Gu Qinglie straight to the third floor and found the watch counter.
"Comrade, what can I do for you?" the salesperson asked enthusiastically.
"Hello comrade, I want to buy two Dongfeng watches. Do you have any?" Gu Qingqing leaned on the glass counter to look.
"Yes, wait a moment." The salesperson was also a little surprised. Two pieces at once?
But looking at the material of her clothes and the man in military uniform next to her, you can tell that she can definitely afford it.
So she bent down and took out two boxes from the counter: "This is a couple's watch, with a narrow strap suitable for ladies."
Gu Qingqing knew that she had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, what I need is two men's watches. Can you help me get another men's watch?"
"OK."
Gu Qingqing took the men's watch from the box and grabbed Gu Qinglie's wrist: "Brother, try it."
Gu Qinglie was stunned, then grinned: "You bought it for me?!"
"Yes, you and big brother each got one. I don't know how much money you and big brother have given me over the years."
"What's the big deal? You're the only sister we have, how can we let you down?" Gu Qinglie shook his head.
Gu Qingqing chuckled, untied the watch strap, passed it through his hand, and put it on his strong wrist.
Buckle up.
"May you be safe every year," she said.
Gu Qinglie felt a warm feeling in his heart, and he looked at the girl in front of him with a silly smile.
When the little girl grows up, she will feel sorry for her brother.
After buying both watches and paying the bills, Gu Qingqing took him to look at the bicycles.
Gu Qinglie did not take off the watch on his hand, and he did not want to take it off.
My sister gave it to me!
"Hello comrade, how many industrial coupons does this Feige bicycle require?" Gu Qingqing asked.
"Fifty industrial coupons, one hundred and sixty yuan," said the salesperson.
Gu Qingqing took out a handful of bills from her pocket, which she had grabbed when she went out in the morning. She counted them and found that there were more than sixty industrial coupons, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
The salesperson had never seen anyone buy things so quickly. Fifty industrial coupons were all the industrial coupons a state-owned factory employee had in a year.
Gu Qingqing gave the industrial coupons and money to the salesperson for counting. After receiving the receipt, Gu Qinglie carried the bicycle down the third floor, muttering to himself, "What are you thinking? Carrying the bicycle upstairs? Are you afraid of being stolen?"
Listening to his mumbling, Gu Qingqing finally understood why Gousheng was bothering him. Thinking that she could take the bus back later without having to walk, she felt a little less irritable.
You can't get angry with him, you still have to rely on him to pedal the bike.
After going downstairs, Gu Qingqing thought of another thing. She held the paper bag and asked solemnly, "Brother, can you ride a bicycle?"
Gu Qinglie got on the car directly, turned his head to look at her, and said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "I even drove a tank in the army, but I can't ride a car? Can't this thing move just by stepping on it?"
Gu Qingqing: "But this is not a tank."
"Then I'll go back alone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingqing got on the back seat, not forgetting to grab his clothes.
Gu Qinglie chuckled, bowed slightly and stepped on the ground: "Let's go."
Gu Qingqing's nose hit his back directly. No one knew how he trained her, but it was as hard as a stone and it hurt so much when it hit him.
Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. She rubbed her red nose and cursed Goudan a thousand times in her heart.
It was a quick trip back, less than ten minutes. Bicycles were not allowed in the military area, so Gu Qinglie pushed the bike in.
Shen Sui had just caught the two kids and waited for them there, but he didn't expect them to push a bicycle over.
He was silent for a moment, then relieved.
My second brother and eldest sister are both quick-tempered and decisive. They will do whatever they say. This is not surprising at all.
The kids who had never seen a car that could roll on two wheels were curiously surrounding the car, chirping all the time.
Gu Qingqing said helplessly: "Take them up and sit for a while. If you don't know, you might think you are in the woods, with birds chirping non-stop."
Shen Sui and Gu Qinglie each held one child. Little Tuantuan sat in the front. He was much taller than Little Niannian. Niannian was a little scared. She hugged her brother from behind with her little face against him.
Gu Qingqing and Shen Sui were both protecting the two little guys and not letting them fall, but seeing the brothers' actions still made them want to laugh.
Gu Qinglie held the handlebars of the bicycle and pushed it towards the military compound. The two kids came back to their senses from their fear and happily enjoyed the breeze blowing towards them, babbling something.
Gu Qingqing asked A-di: "What did the child take them to do?"
"Playing with friends." Shen Sui's expression was subtle, "They are all kids in their teens." The little boy proudly talked to his friends for a long time, and the children looked at the two little guys with surprise.
Gu Qingqing looked at him with a smile: "You are only ten years old."
"I'm fourteen, sis. According to Zhang Ta, I can join the army in two years."
"So do you want to join the army?" she asked.
The boy was silent. When he was almost at the gate of the military compound and passed the sentry post, he whispered, "I wanted to join the Construction Corps before, but my brother-in-law said that fighting is not the only way to defend the motherland."
"Well, your brother-in-law is right." Gu Qingqing smiled and said, "Study hard, Ah Sui. Mr. Qin is very knowledgeable. If you want to take over his job, you still need to work hard."
"I know, Sister."
After returning to the Chu family's yard, the bicycles were parked casually in the yard. Gu Qingqing took the two kids to take a nap. Gu Qinglie found a lot of military manuals in the study, which were all treasures to him.
After returning to the room on the third floor, he sat at the head of the bed, holding the letter and reading it with fascination.
Shen Sui first went back to his room to finish today's homework. After practicing calligraphy, he read for a while to consolidate his knowledge, and then went downstairs to drink water.
Seeing the bicycles in the yard, he couldn't help but step forward and try riding them.
In the evening, Gu Qingqing handed the two little guys to Gu Qinglie and said to him, "Brother has no tasks tonight, so come over for dinner later. You can give him this watch later." She put down the paper bag in her hand.
Gu Qinglie looked at the things on the bedside table and the watch on his wrist, and said readily, "Okay."
Today is the 19th day of the first lunar month, and he will return to the Corps in two days.
Gu Qingqing thought that she couldn't let him down in the next two days, so she went to the kitchen to make his favorite spicy stir-fried crabs and vermicelli shrimps with garlic sauce.
The kitchen was filled with fragrance, but the man who came in from outside had an unhappy look on his face. However, when he saw the busy figures under the warm light, his mood calmed down a little.
"Are you back?" Gu Qingqing served the dishes. "Go wash your hands quickly. We can eat when father, godfather, and elder brother come back."
"Brother has a mission, no need to wait for him." The man rubbed his brows, "Just wait for dad and the others to come back and eat directly."
"Huh? Didn't he say he was coming over for dinner? Is this a temporary assignment?" Gu Qingqing asked puzzledly.
It was not a military secret. The entire military region would know about it by tomorrow. Chu Dai did not hide it from her: "A pilot from the Air Force Group defected in a fighter jet and is flying to a neighboring country. Big brother was ordered to intercept him."
The spatula in Gu Qingqing's hand stopped in mid-air and her mouth remained open for a long time. She was very shocked.
How could such a thing happen in a military area?!
She knew that these were not questions she should ask, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Go wash your hands and have dinner. Tuantuan and Niannian are upstairs with their second brother, you can bring them down." Although she tried her best to restrain herself, the man still heard a slight tremor in her suppressed voice.
She is worried about Gu Canyang.
Chu Dai walked forward, hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her head, suppressed the anger in his heart, and comforted her softly: "It's okay."
Gu Qingqing leaned against his warm chest, her mind blank for a moment, but she quickly recovered: "I know that big brother will complete the task smoothly."
The family sat around the dinner table, but no one picked up their chopsticks.
Chu Yuan said to Mr. Qin beside him with a sullen face, "There is more than one spy in the military area. It will be a hidden danger sooner or later."
"We need to secretly order an investigation," Qin Zhou asked gently, "Do you think this defection was caused by the pilot colluding with the enemy, or was it planned by someone in the army?"
"Are you saying that there are high-ranking officials in the army colluding with the enemy?!" Chu Yuan couldn't sit still anymore. He picked up the military cap on the table and said to Xiao Xu, "Go to the headquarters!"
"Pass my order on. All officers above the brigade level must come to the headquarters for a meeting!" he said as he walked.
"yes."
When Chu Zhan and Xiao Hui were called over, they realized something, looked at each other, and turned away at the same time.
The military brigade-level and above officers almost filled the headquarters, leaving not enough chairs for people to sit on. Some even stood with enamel cups in their hands, asking their comrades next to them what was going on.
Chu Yuan walked in, frowned and said, "What's the point of all the noise?!"
The headquarters suddenly became quiet.
Chu Yuan had a sullen face. Without waiting for Xiao Xu to take any action, he pulled out a chair and sat down.
All eyes were focused on his face. Chu Yuan's tiger eyes scanned the familiar faces. He turned his head and said to Xiao Xu beside him: "Dispatch a company to guard the headquarters. No one is allowed to enter tonight, but not leave."
"yes!"
Xiao Xu went out, and soon there were the sounds of orderly footsteps and bullets being loaded from outside.
Chu Zhan was naturally the first to receive the news of the pilot's defection. Looking at the old leader who was sitting with his eyes closed, he made some guesses about his actions.
After all, he has been your old subordinate for many years.
He was waiting for Gu Canyang to intercept and bring back the traitor.
The headquarters was in total silence. If someone occasionally made a noise while drinking water, they would be glared at by the people around them.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
That night, the headquarters was brightly lit, and all the senior officers of the military region stayed up all night. In order to reduce the number of times they had to go to the toilet, they didn't even drink much water.
Some people fell asleep on the long conference table, some dozed off with their arms folded over their chests against the back of their chairs, and of course there were some people who were worried and had no idea what was going on.
Gu Qingqing couldn't sleep at home either. The two little guys slept soundly. Chu Dai and Gu Qinglie sat in the living room on the second floor, looking at each other in silence.
She went to the kitchen to make a cup of hot tea and brought it to the two men. She did not urge them to go to bed early, but just sat next to Chu Dai. Only when she was close to him did she feel a little relieved.
They endured like this until five o'clock in the morning. Gu Qingqing's eyes were red and she yawned on the man's shoulder.
"Go back to your room and get some sleep. I'm going to the command center." Chu Dai patted her back gently.
"Okay." Gu Qingqing got up as she was told and went back to her room but didn't sleep. She opened the curtains and looked at the morning mist outside.
The sky was turning pale, and she looked up at the sky, praying in her heart that her brother was safe and would return home soon.
In the headquarters, Chu Yuan did not sleep all night, and Chu Zhan could not sleep even more. Such a big thing happened in the Air Force Group Army, and he had to write a detailed self-criticism report to his superiors.
Xiao Hui woke up from left to right and snored loudly.
Chu Zhan looked at the dark face next to him and his teeth itched with hatred. This old guy was deliberately trying to piss him off.
At six o'clock, Xiao Xu asked Chu Yuan if he wanted to go to the cafeteria to get food. Seeing the red eyes of the people below, Chu Yuan snorted coldly: "You won't die of hunger if you eat one meal."
Xiao Xu retreated silently and dared not say anything else.
Someone's stomach growled and he shook his head in embarrassment.
Xiao Hui woke up without even snoring, rubbing his mouth, and asked Chu Zhan next to him: "What time is it now?"
"It's half past twelve at night." Chu Zhan said with a cold face.
"Oh, then I'll sleep a little longer." He folded his arms around his chest and leaned his head back.
Chu Zhan kicked him directly and said unhappily, "It's past seven o'clock."
Xiao Hui frowned and glared at him, then reached for an enamel cup on the table, drank a sip of cold water, and woke up completely.
At 7:45 in the morning, there was a loud roar of a plane flying overhead. Xiao Xu ran over breathlessly, "Commander, the Shu-6 is back."
Chu Yuan couldn't sit still any longer, so he kicked away his chair and went straight to the hangar of the Air Force Group.
Xiao Hui thought thoughtfully: "Old Chu hasn't been this angry for a long time. Commander Chu, you're done."
Chu Zhan ignored him and followed him out.
Others also wanted to check out what was going on, but before they could even step out the door, they were pointed at by dozens of guns.
"Without the commander's order, leaders please do not step out of the headquarters."
