Chapter 244 You are so good
After a few more pleasantries, the old man had to go to another village to transport some goods, so he left three camels for them and then left.
Gu Qingqing listened to their words and saw the happy little family on the camel in the distance. She said to the man, "Let's go take some pictures. We'll play for a while and then go back to Bingtuan, have lunch at Aunt Yu's house, and then go directly to the train station."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Chu Dai had no objection. He put the car key in his trouser pocket and followed his wife and brother-in-law.
The sand was soft, with one foot deep and the next shallow. Because of the strong wind, the footprints were quickly covered up.
Someone had to take the photo. Gu Qinglie was very interested in the camera. After playing with Gousheng for a while, he stepped back two or three meters and directed, "You guys come closer. Tuan Tuan, Niannian and A Sui, stay on the camel. Brother, you move closer to Qingqing."
The two little guys and Shen Sui were riding on the camel, Gu Qingqing was standing in the middle, and two men were on her left and right, just protecting the little girl next to her.
Shen Sui rode his camel next to Xiao Nian Nian, the two camels were side by side, and the little guy even wanted to reach out and touch his uncle.
Chu Dai pulled him back with one hand and said, "Sit still and look ahead. You are taking pictures, silly boy."
Gu Qinglie took several photos in succession, then handed the camera to Shen Sui, asking him to take the next photo. Everyone took a turn taking photos with the camera, and then took some photos of the desert scenery, using up two rolls of film.
"A roll of film is twelve yuan, right?" Gu Qingqing put away the camera and said, "It seems that developing a roll of film also costs twelve yuan."
She counted on her fingers, "That's forty-eight."
I still feel a little sad. The salary in state-owned factories is only 20 or 30 yuan now.
In fact, her family's expenses are very high. There is a constant supply of fresh milk, meat and eggs for the three children every day, rice, flour, oil, salt and other seasonings, plus snacks. She has never calculated how much she spends every month, but she really feels that she has saved a lot of money.
The one with the highest allowance is Chu Yuan, with over three hundred, followed by Qin Lao, with over two hundred close to three hundred, and finally Chu Dai, with over one hundred just short of two hundred.
All the money is in her hands.
Her two brothers would give her money from time to time. Gu Qingqing had long stopped counting how much money she had in her hands. Anyway, she had money added in every month.
The food coupons, meat coupons and cloth coupons in the family were earned by the three men, and these were enough for normal use.
Tuantuan was taken care of too well every year, and had steamed pork cakes with egg custard every day. In addition, the two elderly people were getting older, so Gu Qingqing wanted to make some meat for them to supplement their nutrition.
Not everyone can afford fresh milk nowadays. Either a newborn baby needs to get a certificate from the hospital, or retired cadres of a certain level can get a quota every month.
Actually, Mr. Qin had a share, but he didn't use it. Every year, Chu Dai used his connections to supply Tuantuan with fresh milk.
Seeing her frowning in a trance, Chu Dai thought she was worried about the money for the curling gel, so he raised his hand to brush her messy hair behind her ears and said with a smile, "Don't frown, your man can earn money, we don't worry about this little money."
Gu Qingqing came back to her senses, rubbed her head against his palm, and said with a gentle look: "I'm not heartless about the money, I just want to give you more nutrition when I go back. I can't let Tuantuan just eat meat and eggs every day."
"We'll do whatever you say. We'll eat whatever you cook. If you don't have enough money, just ask and I'll find a solution."
Gu Qingqing was amused and looked up at his stubbled chin: "Our family is not short of money, brother, I just think you're working too hard."
The man rubbed her head and said, "I'm glad you weren't wronged."
Gu Qingqing secretly glanced at Gu Qinglie and the others who were chatting and laughing not far away, then reached out to hug the man's thin waist, rubbed her head against his neck, and said softly: "I have never been wronged since I married you, really, you are very good to me, and my father loves me very much. My father and godfather would take Tuantuan and Niannian away every day when they came back. I know that they are leaving space for me to rest."
"Also, when I was in confinement, you and Ah Sui took care of the two little ones. Later, when you were free, you often held the children. Aunt Yu asked me if I had any confinement sickness, saying that holding the children too much during confinement would cause pain in my arms, but I seldom held the children during confinement."
Goudan happened to be there at that time, and the three men took turns taking care of the children, so she really didn't feel any pressure.
Things are better now. So many members of the Gu family are in the military area. Tuantuan stays close to his uncles every year. The kids are grown up too, and their enlightenment is educated by their godfather.
She was happy and relaxed. Every day she would wash and dry clothes, take out the quilts to see the sun, cook, and chat with the sisters-in-law in the military area.
She has already made an agreement with Jianguo and Weidong that they don't need to deliver vegetables to them anymore. She will take Tuantuan to the market to buy them every year.
This way I can chat more with my sisters-in-law, hear a lot of interesting things every day, and find out what fun parks are nearby.
After returning to the military area, Ah Sui took the children to the park on her day off. She didn't mind spending the money on the tickets, as she had bought a camera that would eventually come in handy.
We also have to bring our two fathers along so that the whole family can fill the photo album together.
The man lowered his head, rested his chin on her forehead, and laughed suddenly: "I'm always afraid that I'm not doing well enough. If you are not satisfied with anything, you must tell me so that I can change it."
"No, I'm not dissatisfied." Gu Qingqing's eyelashes fluttered: "You are a very good husband, a very good father, you are especially good."
The man smiled silently and rubbed his chin against her forehead.
After the camel disappeared in the endless desert, Chu Dai drove them to a nearby lake to play for a while. At 11:30, they returned to the Corps along the same route.
They got out of the car, and Gu Qinglie drove the military vehicle to the barracks to complete the registration, and then they returned to the Military Family Courtyard together.
He had already packed his things and placed them in Gu Qingqing's room.
A military green bag, looks ugly and has nothing in it.
"Can I take a look, brother?" Gu Qingqing asked.
"Let's see who is following whom." Gu Qinglie didn't care at all. He took out a piece of red date cake from the oil paper wrapper and broke off half of it and gave it to Xiao Niannian who was sitting on his lap.
The uncle and nephew ate in exactly the same way, and even licked the pastry crumbs at the corners of their mouths.
Gu Qingqing unzipped the bag and found several military uniforms inside, neatly stacked and with patches on them.
There are also two sets of military uniforms, one of which looks quite old, and the other is brand new, which is only worn on important days.
"Why are there only so few clothes?"
"They are all summer clothes. I'll leave the winter clothes for Lao Yu, which are thicker to keep out the cold. His clothes are older than mine and will tear if they are torn." Gu Qinglie leaned back in his chair and said vaguely, "It's hot over there in the military district. These few clothes are enough. The field army will issue new uniforms when the time comes. Besides, you've prepared regular clothes for me."
"Okay." Gu Qingqing didn't argue with him.
After all, Goudan was right.
There were also two enamel cups and a toothbrush with broken bristles in the luggage bag, but no toothpaste or soap was seen.
Gu Qingqing thought, given Goudan's character, he either never used it or gave it away.
She felt that it was more likely to be useless, as this guy lived too rough a life.
It was common for him to take a bath once every ten days or half a month. There was also a military district on the island. If Chu Dai hadn't urged him, he would have been too lazy to take a bath.
Being used to the lack of water, one cannot adapt to the situation in a short period of time. Gu Qingqing understands this kind of thinking.
She came down from the island and used the water she used to wash the dishes to wash the dishes, and then used it to flush the toilet or water the dishes.
"Is everything packed?" Sun Shufen came over to take a look. "I've prepared the food. I originally thought you could stay here for one more day. Well, it seems that we will only have the chance to visit you after I retire."
"We often contact each other by telegram," Gu Qingqing zipped up the zipper again and hugged Sun Shufen: "I will write to you. Uncle Yu and Xiaotu will read letters. Didn't Xiaotu say that she wanted to go to the southern military region to be a female soldier in the art troupe when she grows up? We will wait for her in the military region."
Sun Shufen hugged her back, her eyes moist, "Okay, we'll send Xiaotu over there when the time comes, and when Xiaoxu grows up, we'll let him join the army, and both siblings will stay in the military area."
"Okay." Gu Qingqing said with a frown, "Aunt, maybe we will come again in the future. We can always meet each other if we want to. Besides, my second aunt's family is from the same village as you and Uncle Yu. If Uncle Yu changes his job and goes back, we can come to see you during the New Year."
"Yes! Yes." Sun Shufen wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves: "When the time comes, your whole family can come over. Our house is big, with several adobe houses."
"Okay." Gu Qingqing agreed readily.
"Then let's go eat first. Lao Yu is still busy in the cafeteria. When you finish eating, he will come back and drive you to the station. I will go with you too."
"Okay." Gu Qingqing nodded and smiled, "Thank you for troubling me these two days, auntie."
"What are you talking about? Auntie is so happy to see you. I hope you can come more often." Sun Shufen took her hand and walked out: "Qinglie! Captain Chu, don't sit there anymore. Go call your two brothers to come for dinner."
"Yeah! OK." Gu Qinglie responded quickly, holding Xiao Niannian in his arms and standing up, scraping the crumbs from the corners of his mouth with his fingertips: "Little glutton, it's time to eat. After eating, we have to take the bus again."
He turned around and asked the man behind him: "How many snacks do you have left? If not, go to the supply and marketing cooperative next to the train station to buy some. Otherwise, it will be hard to endure such a long train ride."
"Not much left." Chu Dai followed slowly, "Let's go buy some, and ask Lao Yu to bring some back for the two children."
"Okay, I thought so too."
They went to the next room to call Shen Sui and Gu Canyang. Little Tuantuan had too much fun and was too tired in the morning. She was a little listless now. She dozed off on her uncle's shoulder with heavy eyelids.
When I heard my father's voice, I looked up and soon fell asleep again.
"We played too much in the sand." The man shook his head.
"We still have to feed him some food before letting him sleep." Gu Qinglie patted Xiao Niannian's butt and said, "Our little treasure is more energetic than his brother. From now on, uncle will take you to do morning exercises every day, okay?"
Chu Dai glanced at him and said, "At your level, you can apply to live alone, but it will be in the family compound of the field army. Will you live with us or apply separately?"
"I'll live with you guys. I haven't considered starting a family yet, so I can stay with our Tuantuan and Niannian for a while longer." Gu Qinglie kissed little Niannian.
Seeing Niannian wiping the saliva off her face with the back of her hand, he said aggrievedly: "Xiaobao has abandoned his uncle."
Xiao Niannian blinked, then held his uncle's face and smacked him under his father's watchful eyes.
