Chapter 192: As good looking as the second brother
Just as Mrs. Hao came over with the lit stove, she heard them say they were going to the clinic. "You're really making things difficult for me," she couldn't help but mutter.
Hao Yizhen turned around and took the stove away from her hand.
Sister Hao: “…”
The clinic was only two or three minutes away from his home. He put down the stove, took out the key from his coat pocket and opened the door. "Come in quickly, it's so cold today." The cold wind blew madly into his neck.
Gu Bao also hunched over and trotted along, Shen Sui's face became redder and redder. Chu Dai held his hand and strode inside.
When they came in, Hao Yizhen was already on IV drip. "You need to get two bottles of water and take two days of medicine and you'll be fine. Try not to go out in these two days. It's easy to catch a cold in this cold weather. The same goes for you adults."
Shen Sui sat down next to the stove. Hao Yizhen took a leather tube and tied it around his wrist with a slipknot: "Hold your hands tight."
The boy did as he was told.
His skin was white and his blood vessels were clearly visible. Hao Yizheng used a cotton swab dipped in iodine to rub the back of his hand twice, leaving a yellow mark, and then slowly pushed the needle in.
Chu Dai and the others also sat down around the stove. They looked up at the two salt water bottles, one large and one small, and estimated that it would take at least one or two hours to get back.
Hao Yizhen washed her hands, then dug out a bag of peanuts from somewhere and put them on the stove to roast: "Eat as much as you want. These peanuts are all grown at home, and there aren't many."
Each family had three mu of private land. His cousin went to work in a state-owned factory in the city and the private land was given to him to manage, so he planted peanuts on it.
Gu Bao wasn't polite either. He peeled the peanuts with his fingertips and threw them into his mouth. "Brother Hao, are you going back to your father-in-law's house this year?" He was ready to chat.
Shen Sui felt a little drowsy, and the cool liquid made him feel a little less uncomfortable.
Chu Dai just listened to their conversation quietly, with a flicker of fire between his eyebrows. He thought that he should not let the two little guys play in the snow again tomorrow.
Tuantuan and Niannian kept yelling "Daddy" at home, which made Gu Qingqing feel overwhelmed. She poked their heads with amusement and said, "You feel uncomfortable when daddy is not at home, don't you? Don't you have jujube mud cakes to eat? Be good, daddy and uncle will be back soon."
Tuantuan and Niannian understood and stopped making trouble. The two brothers ran around in the main room again. One time they bumped into grandpa's legs, and then into grandma. Finally, the two brothers bumped into each other and fell on their butts.
When Gu Qingqing and Qin Li said this, they couldn't stop eating melon seeds.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, after Gu Qingqing finished her bath, she took the two little ones from Qin Li and Sun Yuanyuan's hands. They no longer needed to be carried often, as long as someone followed behind them, and they would slowly go upstairs by themselves, holding the handrail.
Gu Qingqing followed behind the two little guys to protect them and catch them if they didn't step firmly.
Tuan Tuan was an active child, crawling happily with a grunt. Niannian would hold his brother's right hand and follow him with the help of his strength.
Gu Qingqing was filled with emotion as she watched the two little kids grow up day by day.
There is a light bulb in the corridor, and the dim light shining down is particularly warm.
They entered the room, and Shi Rushuang also brought a stove: "Adai hasn't come back yet? Don't wait any longer and go to bed early. I won't bring Tuantuan and Nian Nian with me to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. I told them not to play in the snow. Fortunately, the two sweethearts are fine. Ah Sui's physique is a little weak. Have you ever treated him unfairly?"
"No, no," Gu Qingqing grabbed her son's little feet and stuffed them into the quilt, saying with a smile, "He always eats with us. When we eat meat, he eats meat too. Is that how you look upon your daughter?"
"No, that's fine. This child has a hard life. His father died for the country, and his mother is gone too. He was bullied by his grandmother's family when he was very young, and he is so skinny." Shi Rushuang put down the stove and sat beside her to talk to her daughter. "He is a sensible child. Although he was restrained when he first came to our house, he helped with things. This time he is better. He even took the initiative to talk to your brothers, and swept the main hall and yard clean every morning."
Gu Qingqing nodded in agreement: "He is diligent. He is the same on the island. He keeps the vegetables in my backyard neat and tidy without me having to ask him to do so. There is not a single weed."
"Well, he's a meticulous child." Shi Rushuang smiled and teased her grandson, holding his little hand: "Your grandmother must be looking forward to meeting these two little babies. You were their darling when you were little, so they will be partial to your children and care about them a little more."
"I know," Gu Qingqing said with a soft look in her eyes, "I miss my grandparents, and my uncle and aunt, too."
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Shi Rushuang couldn't help but mention Chu Dai again: "You two are still young, why don't you have another child now while Tuantuan Niannian can walk? Then I will take care of the child for you."
Gu Qingqing didn't expect her mother to bring this up again, and her face turned red: "Let's talk about it when the kids are older..."
She and Chu Dai wore condoms every time they had sex. She told the man that they would have to wait until the kids were at least two or three years old before considering having another child.
"Does Adai think so too?" Shi Rushuang asked.
Gu Qingqing nodded: "He has been transferred to the Navy Command and is very busy. He seldom comes home at noon after the New Year. Ah Sui also has to go to school. Tuantuan will walk every year. It's quite relaxing for me to take care of two children at home. If there is another one, I won't be able to handle it."
Even if her mother was willing to go to the military area to help her take care of the children, the two little ones would stick with their parents at night, and she really couldn't do it.
"Just make your own plans. I won't say much. Your two brothers..." At this point, Shi Rushuang couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Qingqing comforted her: "My brothers have their own ideas and talents. If they find someone they like, they will bring him back to you. You don't have to worry. With my eldest brother's looks, he won't have trouble finding a partner."
"I'm not worried about your eldest brother, but your second brother, who looks like you. I'm afraid he won't be able to meet someone as good as A'dai. Canyang will also want to find one for his younger brother."
Gu Qingqing's face became darker and darker, and then she said angrily: "Goudan and I don't look alike, I look like my older brother!"
"Okay, okay." Shi Rushuang didn't argue with her and said with a smile, "You look like your eldest brother. Fortunately, our Tuantuan and Niannian follow their father, otherwise it would be difficult for them to find wives in the future like your second uncle."
Gu Qingqing: “…” Don’t think she didn’t hear it, every word her mother said was about how ugly she was.
Shi Rushuang talked to the lady for a while and asked her about life in the military area. Gu Qingqing hesitated to speak, with a look of obvious dejection.
"What's going on? Talk to your mother and see if she can give you some advice."
Gu Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but still told her sisters-in-law about their lukewarm attitude towards her.
"You." Shi Rushuang was overjoyed and kissed her grandson: "You have always been popular since you were a child. You can get along with everyone. Now you can't stand being ignored. My dear girl, why are you so mean?"
"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing looked at A Niang in confusion, wanting to hear her continue.
"You should treat her the way she treats you. We are honest people in the Gu family, but we should not be so heartless as to flatter others and then turn them down. Sincerity should be rewarded with sincerity. The Southern Military Region is so large, you will always meet friends you can get along with. You don't have to talk to the wives of the soldiers. Is there no female soldiers in the army?"
Gu Qingqing just understood a little bit, and then she heard her mother continue: "See if there are any female soldiers with good personalities, and introduce them to your two brothers. Also, please keep an eye on your brothers Jianguo and Weidong, as they are already grown up."
After hearing this, Gu Qingqing burst into laughter.
So this is what my mother was planning.
I originally wanted to talk to her about Xiao Xiao, but when I thought about the fact that there was no chance of success, I gave up.
If the person that eldest brother brings back in the end is not her, and my mother asks about this person later, wouldn't that cause trouble for my eldest sister-in-law?
"Qingqing?" Shi Rushuang shook her grandson's little hand. The two brothers laughed so hard that their teeth were showing when they heard the crisp sound of bells.
Xiao Niannian also shook his little hands and wiggled his butt.
"Hey! Mother, you should go to bed early. We still have to visit relatives tomorrow. In addition to Grandpa's family, Grandma's family will also go to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow? It just so happens that we will go to Grandma's house the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll talk to your grandma." Shi Rushuang kissed her eldest grandson again before closing the door and going downstairs.
The two kids had grabbed a piece of date mud cake in their hands without knowing when, and their mouths were full of black food. Gu Qingqing felt helpless and patted their buttocks gently: "Don't eat snacks in bed in the future, or the bed will be covered with crumbs."
The two little guys laughed heartily, not knowing whether they understood or not, and rolled over in a ball on the bed.
Gu Qingqing took some chairs and placed them around the bed, then quickly went to the bathroom next door and brought back a basin. She took the hot kettle on the small table at the side, poured some water into the basin, and used a slightly wet towel to wipe their faces.
After wiping, I poured some water into the bottle to make milk powder for the little ones. This water was filled last night and was not used up, so it was just warm water now.
Tuantuan and Niannian held the bottle and sucked. Halfway through the drink, their eyes became a little closed. The two little guys calmed down at the same time and drank the milk powder slowly.
They were almost asleep, and if they were moved under the quilt they would definitely wake up, so Gu Qingqing swept the date cake crumbs on the bed to the floor and took out a quilt from the closet to cover them.
The man came back around eleven o'clock. He deliberately slowed down his footsteps when he pushed the door open. The quilt on the bed was slightly arched up, and the two children, one adult and two children, were sleeping soundly.
He closed the door quietly, walked to the stove, and seeing that there was not much charcoal left, he took a pair of tongs and added four or five pieces of charcoal. He pulled a chair over and sat down, warming himself by the fire.
Gu Qingqing suddenly woke up in the middle of her sleep. She turned her head as if she sensed something and met the man's eyes as dark as ink.
"Did it bother you?"
"No." She yawned and slowly sat up against the headboard. "Where's Ah Tai? How is he?"
"I was given two bottles of saline solution and the fever went away. I took some medicine, washed up and went back to my room to sleep."
"Oh, that's good." Gu Qingqing looked at him sitting by the stove and suddenly thought of what her mother had just said, "Do you think I'm good-looking?"
"Hmm?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of teasing her, and said slowly, "As good-looking as my second brother."
Gu Qingqing threw a pillow at him, her eyebrows knitted into a knot: "There's something wrong with your eyes, Chu Dai."
