Chapter 258: Prosperity 258: A bit
"Hurry up and go in. It's too sunny outside. You don't have to see me off. I'm not a stranger, so there's no need to be so polite." Chang Yue held a palm-leaf fan over his head and said to her.
"Okay." Gu Qingqing nodded and watched her walk slowly on the bluestone path.
Chang Yue walked very slowly. She was getting older and had difficulty moving. Gu Qingqing watched her move slowly and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you looking at?" The man came back from the other side carrying a lunch box. He followed her gaze and Chang Yue just disappeared around the corner.
"Look at Sister Chang Yue," Gu Qingqing did not hide it and asked him with her head raised, "Do I walk like this too? Like a... duck?" After thinking for a moment, she gave a description that fit her.
"A little bit." The man chuckled, holding the lunch box in his left hand, holding her waist with his right hand, and leading her into the yard.
Gu Qingqing glared at him: "How dare you answer that question?"
The man laughed, "Even if you really are a duck, you're the best looking one."
Gu Qingqing rolled her eyes, indicating that she didn't believe the man's lies.
When she sat down on the sofa again, the man took out the food from the lunch box.
One serving of crispy pork, one serving of stir-fried eggplant with green beans, and one serving of stir-fried mustard greens.
There is also a case of Cordyceps flower chicken soup.
"This food doesn't look like the one in the cafeteria." She smelled the aroma and felt a little hungry.
"Brother Jianguo bought the food with his own money and cooked a small stove for you. He asked me to bring it back." The man went to the kitchen and got a porcelain bowl and spoon. He poured the cordyceps flower chicken soup into the bowl and handed it to her: "He said if you like it, he will cook it again next time. If you are not used to it, he will change it to something else tomorrow."
Gu Weidong had already booked dinner for the evening, under the pretext that "the elders in the family are not in the military area, so we have to take good care of the girl on behalf of the uncles and aunts."
Chu Dai gladly accepted this, since they were all family, he didn't think it was a big deal. He was afraid that they didn't have enough meat coupons, so he gave them most of the meat coupons in his family.
Tuan Tuan and Niannian no longer eat at home. They either go to the headquarters and wait for Xiao Xu to bring meals to Grandpa so that they can eat for free. Or they go to the field army canteen, but they usually go to the flight crew canteen.
The two little guys are not picky eaters and are easy to feed, but they know that the food at their eldest uncle's place is better and they prefer to eat better tasting food.
The most important thing is that the air crew has a lot of meat.
Gu Qingqing scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and drank it. It was extremely delicious, so she drank half a bowl in succession.
"Will it be too much trouble for my brothers?" she asked.
"They said as long as you have an appetite, they'll be happy." Seeing that she liked to eat, Chu Dai also breathed a sigh of relief.
The man sat down next to her, naturally lifted her slightly swollen legs, placed them on his knees, and gave her a slow massage.
"Sister, brother-in-law." Shen Sui came down from the building, holding one in each hand: "I take Tuan Tuan to the command department cafeteria for meals every year."
"Go ahead." Chu Dai glanced at his two sons casually, ignoring their cute smiles, and continued talking to his wife: "What kind of fruit do you want to eat? I'll go buy some later."
"There are still grapes at home. I don't want to eat anything." Gu Qingqing finished the chicken soup and started eating again: "Have you eaten?"
The man looked at her, smiled and shook his head.
"Why don't you eat in the cafeteria before coming back?" She sighed, scooped a piece of crispy meat with a spoon and put it to his mouth: "Let's eat together."
The man didn't refuse.
He was actually afraid that he would come back late and make her hungry. Logically, he should be relieved with Shen Sui at home, but his brother-in-law had to take care of two other children, and he was worried that he would not be able to take care of her.
His force was neither too light nor too heavy, very comfortable.
Gu Qingqing simply sat sideways on the armrest of the sofa, with her legs resting on the man, holding the bowl in her hands, eating a bite herself, and then picking up some food to feed him.
The summer's restlessness was gradually relieved by his gentle gestures, and Gu Qingqing's frustration also dissipated. After dinner, she casually placed her bowl on the tea table.
The two of them finished their meal neatly. Chu Dai glanced at them casually and said, "I'll clean up later."
"Yeah." Gu Qingqing casually put the lunch box lid on the lunch box, yawned, leaned back on the sofa, propped up her hand on the backrest, and looked at him with her head propped up.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was looking at him, the man raised his eyebrows: "Did you press too hard? Does it hurt?"
"No," Gu Qingqing narrowed her eyes, "I just think you're pretty."
"Is that so?" The man also smiled and looked at her belly. "So, do you think it's better for these two little guys to look like me or like the eldest brother?"
"Big brother." The woman said without hesitation: "After all, I am like a big brother."
The man snorted and shook his head. Whenever the issue of appearance was mentioned, she and Goudan would in unison lean towards Gousheng, although they both knew in their hearts that they were not very similar.
Every time Gu Canyang heard the brother and sister arguing about this issue, there was no expression on his face, but Chu Dai felt that he must be secretly happy in his heart.
But it's okay if she looks like Gu Canyang. Tuan Tuan and Niannian look a lot like him. If there are two sons or two daughters or one son and one daughter in the belly, it's good if she doesn't look like her two brothers.
Otherwise he would have a headache watching it.
Tuan Tuan was very tactful and well behaved in front of his mother, knowing that she was the one who should not be messed with in the family, otherwise he might lose the love of his uncles and father.
In front of the two grandfathers, she acts cute and coquettishly, and coaxes them for snacks.
In front of him, Shen Sui and Gu Qinglie, she would occasionally lose her temper. In short, she was not as lovable as she was in front of other people.
Only in front of Gu Canyang, he didn't dare to fart. When his uncle told him to eat, he would immediately pull up a small stool and sit down without even a second thought.
Shen Sui led the two little guys out of the living room. Gu Qingqing became increasingly sleepy: "Brother, I'm sleepy."
Seeing that she was about to lie down on the sofa, the man lifted her waist and said, "Go sleep upstairs."
"I don't want to move." She muttered.
"I'll carry you." He stood up and picked her up gently.
Gu Qingqing hugged his neck, buried her head in his neck, smelled the sweet candy smell on the man, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to eat fruit, don't buy it, I want you to sleep with me for a while."
"Okay." Chu Dai agreed without hesitation, "Be a little more coquettish, and I'll take a leave of absence this afternoon to accompany you."
She squinted her eyes dazedly: "Aren't you busy?"
"I've been very free lately. I've only been delivering documents and making tea at the command center." The man bent down and kissed the tip of her nose, then held her and walked steadily upstairs: "There's nothing to do in the middle of every year." It was a rare peaceful day.
No war.
"Oh, is that so?" Gu Qingqing rubbed his chin with her head, "Brother, please stay with me and the babies." She put her right hand on her belly, "Tell Dad, we want him to stay with us longer."
If there was a mission in the army, she would not dare to ask and waste the man's time. However, since he said he was free, it would not affect anything, so she could rest assured.
Suddenly, something hit her palm. Gu Qingqing's eyes widened and she said in surprise, "You kicked me."
The man walked faster until he reached the bedroom door. He lifted his knees to push the door open and walked straight to the bed while holding her in his arms.
He gently placed her on the bed, pulled a chair beside the bed and sat down, then reached out his hand and slowly placed it on her belly.
The woman pressed her palm against his white knuckles and looked at him quietly.
Feeling the little guy moving, a hint of smile appeared in his dark eyes.
"Dad also wants to spend more time with you." He suddenly said softly.
Gu Qingqing leaned against the head of the bed and said, "Go change your clothes. I'm really sleepy." She wanted to sleep in his arms.
Uncle Suo warned her not to eat too much sugar, so like the other kids, she hadn't eaten candy for a long time.
The difference is that the kids can eat it secretly, but she can't.
I can only nestle in the man's arms every night and smell the sweet scent on his body to satisfy my craving.
"Okay." The man leaned over and kissed her cheek, then said distressedly, "Don't lose weight anymore. I'm afraid Gousheng will beat me up again."
After saying that, he got up and went to the closet, opened the door, took out a set of short-sleeved pajamas, and put them on the chair.
Then he slowly began to unbutton his clothes.
"How could that be?" Gu Qingqing narrowed her eyes and looked at him secretly: "My elder brother is not such an unreasonable person."
Chu Dai thought to himself, my wife, you are too naive. Gou Sheng is such an unreasonable person. In recent days, Gu Canyang looked at him with a mixture of forbearance and dissatisfaction.
"If I get blocked on the road and beaten up on a dark and windy night, it goes without saying that the culprit will be Gousheng," he said sincerely.
Gu Qingqing couldn't help laughing out loud, and she slowly slid from the head of the bed to under the quilt. She said softly, "Don't worry, Goudan will help you."
Chu Dai: "..." To be honest, I don't think he dares.
And it is very likely that they will look up to the sky and pretend not to see it.
This is Goudan's style, especially when facing Gousheng.
He was very frightened.
I was also very scared.
Gu Qingqing didn't say anything else. Chu Dai glanced at her and found that the woman had fallen asleep.
他彎起唇角，能娶到她，再挨狗剩幾頓揍他也是願意的。
After changing his clothes, he threw back the quilt and lay down beside her.
A lot of light came in from the window. The curtains were only half drawn.
He was about to stand up and pull down the curtains, but the woman grabbed his wrist, so he had to stop.
Gu Qingqing slept on her side, nestling in his arms.
Her right hand was resting on her head, and his left hand gently rested on the woman's waist, indicating that he was there and that she could sleep peacefully.
Gu Qingqing worked herself to a great limit during her pregnancy, and her family was worried. Chu Dai looked thinner than before, and even Gu Qinglie looked visibly thinner.
1976, February 22nd of the solar calendar.
When she was nine months pregnant, she finally went into labor. At ten o'clock in the evening, her family rushed her to the obstetrics and gynecology department of the military hospital.
The door was closed, and everyone waiting in the corridor outside became extremely anxious when they saw the three words "under surgery" light up.
Gu Qinglie kept turning around, he was getting anxious.
Worried about the girl.
Gu Canyang stood aside with a frown on his face, and did not say a word to stop him.
Tuan Tuan always lay on the shoulders of his father and uncle, his eyes fixed on the door of the operating room.
Only Chu Yuan and Old Qin were sitting there, but one could tell that the two old men were also extremely upset, and no one spoke a word.
They sat there from ten o'clock until two in the morning. Dean Suo came over and brought them food. "Fill your stomachs."
