Chapter 239: Prosperity 239: It's up to you
"You want daddy?" The man paused. The boy in his arms frowned and hummed. He continued to pat his son on the back and said lazily, "Daddy is here, baby."
Xiao Tuantuan might have smelled the sweet candy scent on the man, her brows relaxed, and she soon fell into a sound sleep.
Chu Dai was also a little sleepy, especially when he was holding the soft, milky little ball in his arms. His eyelids felt heavy and he slowly closed his eyes.
When Gu Qingqing came in holding her little son, what she saw was the father and son sleeping in such a domineering posture.
The man was tall and had long legs. He took up half of the bed diagonally. He hadn't taken off his shoes yet, and his left foot was on the ground.
You can see that he is very tired.
She took off Xiao Nian Nian's shoes, asked her son to sit on the bed, and placed the other bottle in her hand on the table next to her.
Little Niannian was very well behaved when drinking milk, smacking his little mouth and looking at his father and brother beside him with his big black eyes.
Gu Qingqing sat down on the edge of the bed, with her left leg just touching the man's right knee.
Glancing sideways at his thin face and sharp jawline, she was somewhat dazed.
Chu Dai was in a light sleep and woke up when she pushed the door open, but he just kept his eyes closed and dozed off.
The woman's burning gaze fell on him, and she finally couldn't help but blink: "What are you thinking about, sister?"
Gu Qingqing was stunned for a moment and laughed: "I still remember it."
"Yeah." The man kissed his son's little face as he lay on him. "Isn't that what you called me when you first arrived at the Corps, sister?" There was a smile in his eyes.
Gu Qingqing gently touched his knees, and seeing that he was unmoved, she pouted and said, "I heard that men who are afraid of itching love their wives. Brother, don't you love me?"
"I love you." Chu Dai pretended to be ticklish and snorted twice, then smiled and glanced at her: "Is this okay, my wife?"
Gu Qingqing withdrew her hand, "It's okay." Thinking of something, she asked, "Did you know from the beginning what I was here for?"
"You've asked this question before, and I've answered it before." The man was somewhat helpless, and he pulled one corner of the quilt with his big hand and covered Xiao Tuantuan's back.
"I forgot." The woman blinked: "Can you tell me more?"
"Yes," Chu Dai sighed: "From the first time I saw you, I knew you were Lao Gu's sister without my introduction. You two..." He swallowed the words "You look too similar" under the woman's aggressive gaze.
"Old Gu often mentioned you to me. You know that not many soldiers have come to visit their families over the years. He must have some ulterior motive for letting his only precious sister come here."
"Besides, I heard what he said when you two met. He said it wasn't settled yet and asked you to figure it out on your own." Chu Dai smiled. "I didn't think it was a big deal at the time. Later, he asked me to take you to the Military Family Courtyard and deliberately created opportunities for us to meet. Then I roughly understood."
Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Because of these few things, you guessed what we are thinking?"
"Almost," the man put the back of his right hand over his eyes and recalled, "but being truly sure is another matter."
"Hmm? What's up?"
Chu Dai didn't know what to say, and finally a light laugh escaped from his throat: "Ever since you came, Goudan always looks in my direction when he goes to the toilet."
This is actually not that uncommon. Men tend to be very competitive in this regard, and they are a group of young guys in their teens and twenties, so they will compare themselves when playing.
But Gu Qinglie has never been such a boring person.
That fool only cares about how many rings he can hit with one shot and how many people he can knock down in a bare-handed fight.
Gu Qingqing was still a little shocked when she heard this topic, and the area behind her ears turned red.
Seeing her like this, the man wanted to tease her: "What about you, Comrade Gu Qingqing?"
"Are you satisfied?"
Gu Qingqing gently pushed his knee and said, "The children are here, please be careful with your words."
The man raised his chin slightly, motioning her to look over.
Gu Qingqing followed his gaze and turned her head suspiciously.
Xiao Nian Nian, who was sitting behind her drinking milk from the bottle, fell asleep on the quilt at some point. He had only finished half of the milk, but he still held the bottle tightly, with milk stains flowing from the corners of his mouth.
The man chuckled and said, "You can tell me now, right? Are you satisfied, wife?"
"Normally." Gu Qingqing said without blinking: "That's it."
Her neck was already red, but she still managed to remain calm and finish the sentence.
The man looked at her for a while with a dark look in his eyes, then nodded: "Okay."
"Huh?" Gu Qingqing was puzzled. This man's reaction was not right.
"Let's try again at night. I don't know if the soundproofing in this room is good. It was pretty bad before anyway."
"Chu Dai!" Gu Qingqing was so angry that she picked up the army green pillow beside her and threw it at him: "Go to sleep quickly."
The man grabbed it with one hand. His white fingers formed a sharp contrast with the army green pillowcase. Gu Qingqing couldn't bear to look away after taking a look.
"Stop making trouble." He turned over slightly, put the kid down, then stood up, opened the quilt and put his two sons back under the quilt. He took the bottle out of his youngest son's arms and put it on the table next to him.
The man unbuttoned his coat slowly and casually put it on the back of a chair. He took off his watch and said, "Go to sleep for a while. I'll take you to the desert to ride camels tomorrow."
"Eh?" Gu Qingqing perked up. After the man sat down, she hugged his thin waist and refused to let go: "Can we still go to the desert?"
"Sure." The man raised his hand and tucked the hair that fell on her cheeks behind her ears: "I'll go see Uncle Guan this afternoon and ask him to borrow a car."
It was too cold in the desert at night, otherwise he would have liked to take his wife out to look at the stars.
Anyway, two older brothers-in-law and one younger brother-in-law are here, so there is no need to worry about the little ones being left alone.
No matter who wronged them, these uncles would not bear to let them suffer.
"I'll go with you to visit Uncle Guan." Gu Qingqing buried her head in his neck and rubbed it: "Bring Tuantuan with you every year."
Guan Xun also cared about her and Chu Dai's affairs.
When he was injured, Uncle Guan told her that Chu Dai was like an unruly eagle and that she had to slowly endure him.
Now that I have made it through, I naturally want to express my gratitude.
Guan Xun treated Chu Dai as his own nephew, so he should bring these two little guys to show him around.
Chu Dai found that the two boys had similar personalities to hers and liked to rub shoulders with others. He lowered his eyes and smiled. He kissed the ends of the woman's hair and said, "Okay."
The two young guys slept against the wall inside. Gu Qingqing slept in the middle, lying in the man's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Let's sleep for a while."
"I can't sleep." Chu Dai hooked his fingers into her long black hair and said casually, "Tuantuan Niannian will be two years old by the end of the year. He can sleep by himself now."
"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing yawned continuously, feeling particularly confused in the man's warm embrace: "What?"
"Nothing." The man leaned over and kissed her: "Go to sleep."
Gu Qingqing rested her head on his right arm and soon fell asleep.
Chu Dai squinted his eyes and looked around the room.
The interior remains largely unchanged, but the kitchen and bathroom in the front have been expanded.
He just forgot to ask the woman what she was thinking about every night when she came to the Corps alone and lived here alone.
In fact, he later regretted not responding to her earlier.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms, the tenderness in his eyes was so full that it almost overflowed.
Thank you for being so brave.
Gu Qingqing slept until five in the afternoon. When she woke up, she found that there was no one next to her. The setting sun outside shone in and was reflected on the white wall.
She was a little dazed, staring at the orange light helplessly.
The two little guys woke up and wanted to go to the toilet, then yelled for their uncle. Chu Dai helped them urinate, then handed them over to Gu Canyang and Shen Sui and brought them a glass of water.
Hearing the noise, the woman's pupils slowly focused on the man in black standing beside the bed.
"Are you awake? Have a drink of water." Chu Dai handed over the enamel cup.
Gu Qingqing didn't answer. She looked at him for a long time before she said in a hoarse voice, "Brother."
"Um?"
"I thought this was a dream." Gu Qingqing murmured, "It seems like I just arrived at the Corps, and you and Tuantuan Niannian are not around."
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the enamel cup, and sat down next to the bed.
His fair arms were casually placed on the bedside, "If that's the case, then I'll take the initiative this time." The man looked at her with a smile.
Gu Qingqing looked up and saw his strong jawline.
She raised her hand and touched him, then said, "But you don't look like someone who would take the initiative, brother."
The man couldn't help but chuckled: "Then teach me how to coax you."
"You are just trying to coax me now." Gu Qingqing pouted, "I'm hungry. Where are Tuantuan and Niannian?"
"Brother and Sui took us outside. We had never seen the ground covered with sand before. It was very new to us."
"How dare you say that? Children born in Nanyang have never seen so much sand. You never take time out to take us to the beach to play. My little nephew knows that he takes me to the beach to pick cat's eye snails when school is on vacation."
Gu Qingqing stood up with her hands on the edge of the bed, half hunched over: "In a few years, my nephew will be old enough to join the army. I don't know if his father will let him join the Construction Corps."
Zhang Ta was very obsessed with the Construction Corps. Especially after Chu Dai gave him a black wolf head armband, he kept shouting that he wanted to join the Construction Corps and was often beaten by Zhang Jianshe.
"Your father came from the Luzhong Corps, why do you insist on going to the Construction Corps? You are possessed, you bastard!"
The instigator didn't think much of it: "It's too early. Considering his age, it will take at least four or five years."
Gu Qingqing climbed up on his shoulders and sat on the bed, half in the man's arms. Her almond eyes were clear: "Brother, what are your plans for the future?"
"You guessed it, didn't you?" The man said with a half-smile: "Don't you want to go with me? Do you want to stay in Nanyang?"
"No, I've already told you that wherever you are, the children and I will be there, unless you refuse to take us with you."
"You're too polite," the man said lazily, "It's not decided yet. Let's wait and see in a year or two. Try to go to the capital with Ah Sui. You're worried about this kid, aren't you?"
"I'm a little reluctant. It's definitely best for the whole family to stay together." Gu Qingqing rubbed the stubble on his chin with her fingertips: "Is it time to shave, brother?"
"Well, the two kids always like to rub against me, and when their foreheads turn red, they cry. They are very coquettish." Chu Dai let her touch his chin and looked at her with lowered eyes: "It's up to you."
