Chapter 241: Prosperity 241: Where is He?
After feeding the two kids some water, Chu Dai sat in the house for a while. It was almost seven o'clock, so he stood up and said, "It's time to go eat."
"I've been hungry for a long time." Gu Qinglie couldn't wait to go out: "I used to get hungry quickly during training. I could eat four or five sweet potatoes in one meal. Now I get hungry easily even without training. I don't know what's going on."
He put his hand on Gu Canyang's shoulder and said with a grin: "What's going on, brother?" After hearing Qingqing's analysis, he said that Gousheng cared about him and wanted to bring the brothers closer.
Gu Canyang glanced at him calmly: "I'm free."
Chu Dai couldn't help laughing. Receiving the unfriendly look from his second uncle, he touched his nose in embarrassment, then picked up the kid beside his legs and said, "Let's go and have dinner."
Gu Qingqing asked Shen Sui in a low voice how he felt now, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"Much better. I'm fine. Don't worry, sister." Shen Sui looked a little tired and his stomach felt a little uncomfortable and burning. He felt a little better after vomiting.
Gu Qingqing saw that he was trying hard, so she rubbed his head and asked gently, "Are you not used to being here?"
Shen Sui wanted to deny it at first, but when he saw the worry in her eyes, he finally nodded.
"Chu Dai." She called out.
"Hmm?" The man holding the little girl paused, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'll go back tomorrow afternoon." That's all she said.
Chu Dai raised his eyes and stared at her for a while. He didn't ask why, but just nodded: "Okay."
Gu Qinglie had no opinion. He listened to Gousheng on important matters and followed the girl's advice on other matters.
When we arrived at the cafeteria, it was empty; the soldiers had already finished their meal.
Yu Fugui was still busy, and the young soldiers from the kitchen squad were helping him.
"Sister!" Someone greeted Gu Qingqing with a grin.
The people who went to the front line rarely came back. They were replaced one after another, but the kitchen team was still staffed by the original people.
In recent years, the political commissar has also said that they can be transferred to other corps or military regions. The young soldiers always think that their brothers in the corps are used to eating the food they cook, so they will leave after a few years and go to a unit with better conditions to see if they can find a wife.
As a result, it has been delayed until now.
They said that life in the Construction Corps was hard, but they just couldn't bear to leave.
"Brother." Gu Qingqing smiled and leaned over to talk to him while lying on the rice table: "Why do you seem to have grown a little taller?"
"Really?" The little warrior scratched his head in embarrassment, "Maybe the food was good, so I went up a little."
He saw the little ball in Chu Dai's hand and was surprised: "Is this your child with Captain Chu? My nephew?!"
After saying that, he hurriedly threw away the dough in his hand, patted it on the flour, and quickly walked out of the kitchen.
"Let me see!"
Gu Qingqing felt amused and touched.
On the island, it was these brothers from the corps who often protected her. The sisters-in-law on the island all knew that these dozen or so construction corps were fierce and protective, and they dared not mess with her.
In the past, the soldiers of the Construction Corps treated her as a sister. They took her with them to build greenhouses for the people in the border town to grow vegetables. On the way back to the Corps, they sang military songs in high spirits.
In just two years, only one in ten survived.
"Oh, they look so alike! They look like they were carved from the same mold as Captain Chu. This is the first time I've seen twins." The little soldier looked at the little guy in Chu Dai's arms, then at the little Nian Nian in Gu Canyang's arms. He rubbed his hands on the white bib again and again before tentatively reaching out his hand.
Xiao Tuantuan was in her father's arms, her little head slightly tilted. Seeing the cautiousness in his eyes, she suddenly stretched out her little hand and placed it in his palm.
When the little warrior saw the soft and warm little hand in his palm, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. His eyes were red. "If my brothers were still here, they would be so happy to see...
If the former soldiers were still there, if Chu Dai had not been transferred, Gu Qingqing would have stayed in the Corps with him.
The two little guys must have been taken around by the soldiers every day, from one's arms to that's shoulders, they were their precious nephews, the most precious thing in their hands.
Chu Dai understood what he meant. After a moment of silence, he handed the kid to him and said, "Give me a hug."
The little warrior was a little hesitant when he saw the white and tender little dumpling.
He has never held a baby in his arms.
Xiao Tuantuan looked at his father with his distinct black and white eyes, and Chu Dai nodded slightly at him.
The little guy leaned over and climbed onto the little warrior's neck: "Chirp~"
Chu Dai laughed softly.
This little guy is really smart.
"Hey!" The little warrior was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly took the kid. He was a little at a loss as he wanted to touch his little face, but was afraid that his rough hands would scratch him.
Gu Qingqing looked at this scene and felt like something was blocking her throat, and she didn't utter a word for a long time.
Yu Fugui handed her a steamed bun and said, "Fill your stomach first. I don't know what Lao Zhang and Lao Zhu are doing. They haven't come here for a long time."
"I'm not hungry." Gu Qingqing shook her head. Seeing that he insisted, she had no choice but to take the steamed bun: "Thank you, Uncle Yu."
Today's steamed buns and meat dishes were all bought with Yu Fugui's own banknotes. He had previously returned to his hometown with Shen Sui, had dinner and stayed at his uncle's house, so he could pay off the debt with banknotes.
Yu Fugui and Sun Shufen are different. If you give them money, it would be like a slap in the face. They are happy to spend the money, even if they are a little tight on money for the next few months.
This is someone you want to keep in touch with. There is no need to worry about gains and losses. Just continue with it at ease.
Gu Qingqing found that the purest people she had ever met were those in the Construction Corps. Although their lives were hard, they were very optimistic and devoted to defending their country without many twists and turns in their hearts.
Yu Fugui subconsciously wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but when he realized it wasn't those rough old men from the Corps, he shyly withdrew his hand: "Wait a minute, I've steamed minced meat soup for Tuantuan Niannian, it will be ready soon."
At the same time, he was cursing Zhang Chao and Lao Zhu in his heart for taking so long even to have a meal. Captain Chu and Qing Qing had finally come back.
"Okay, don't worry." Gu Qingqing said softly.
Zhang Chao, who had just walked outside the cafeteria, sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said to the leisurely Lao Zhu next to him: "Why do I feel like someone is thinking about me?"
"It's Lao Yu. He loves to curse people behind their backs." Lao Zhu said with a smile.
"Hmm?" Zhang Chao was about to say something when he glanced to the other side: "Why are the regiment commander and the political commissar here?"
"Come and have dinner together."
They were a little slower, letting Guan Xun and Political Commissar Xu enter the cafeteria first, and then they followed them in.
Seeing that they had all arrived, the young warriors in the kitchen squad put two long wooden tables together and began to serve the dishes.
Finally everyone was seated. Yu Fugui brought out the last dish of stewed potatoes with bones, pulled out a chair and sat down.
They are all old comrades, and are very familiar with the regiment commander and the political commissar privately. It is not a formal occasion now, so there is no need to be too particular.
The two little dumplings passed from Zhang Chao and Lao Zhu's hands into the arms of Guan Xun and Political Commissar Xu, and no one dared to snatch them from them, so they could only watch.
Chu Dai and Gu Qinglie were happy to have some free time. The older they got, the clingier they became. They were also very smart. They would act coquettishly when they wanted something. In the military area, they would often coax Chu Yuan and Qin Zhou so hard that they would then take them to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy snacks.
Shen Sui was not feeling well, and Gu Qingqing wanted him to eat something lighter, so she served him a bowl of minced meat soup.
"In a blink of an eye, you have been married for two years, and your child has grown up so much." Guan Xun rubbed Tuantuan's little face on his lap with his fingers and said with emotion: "I still remember two years ago, when Qingqing first came to the Corps, she used the greenhouse to grow vegetables. The whole regiment cheered and rejoiced. I almost moved my family into the greenhouse to look after it."
Political Commissar Xu broke off half of the steamed bun and handed it to Nian Nian in his arms, adding calmly, "It seems to be that night, Chu Dai was injured, and Qing Qing almost fell when she left the greenhouse."
The man turned his head to look at the woman who was whispering with his brother-in-law. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"This child has suffered a lot with him. He had two tubes of blood transfusion before they were together." Guan Xun glanced at Chu Dai and continued, "This child is also very honest."
Both of his two elder brothers are in the army, and he has never thought of asking the old leader to transfer their positions. If Gu Qinglie had not made great contributions this time, he would probably still be staying in the Construction Corps.
He wrote the report requesting merit himself, and several army commanders in the military region unanimously agreed to it before finally submitting it to Chu Yuan.
This transfer had nothing to do with any relationship.
Even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is praising the young officer.
When he saw Gu Canyang, Guan Xun realized that Gu's family members were truly outstanding.
I don’t know how their parents raised them.
Political Commissar Xu and he were old partners, and they sang in unison: "Qingqing got married in the Corps. We are all her family members. If anyone bullies her..."
Chu Dai was somewhat amused: "Uncle Guan, Political Commissar Xu, you two don't need to warn me again and again, I will definitely not do anything inappropriate."
I feel sorry for her so much, how can I bear to bully her.
Hearing Guan Xun and Political Commissar Xu speaking for her, Gu Qingqing smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Uncle Guan and Uncle Xu. With you two elders watching over him, he definitely won't dare to bully me."
The man's knee under the table touched her thigh lightly.
Political Commissar Xu nodded and smiled.
Both he and Guan Xun were to be transferred to sub-war zones. With Guan Xun's temper, not many people could work with him, and they could easily get angry enough to have a heart attack.
Zhang Chao and Lao Zhu did not plan to leave. In their words, "One of us is in charge of supplies and the other one is raising pigs. We can raise pigs everywhere, so we might as well stay here. We are used to this place, and we will not be used to it if we move to another place."
As for Yu Fugui, he had never thought about leaving.
Guan Xun and Political Commissar Xu, as elders, asked Chu Dai and Gu Qinglie about their future plans. They had also heard some rumors, so they asked indirectly, "Do you want to go to the capital for further studies?"
Chu Dai nodded, "Let's go when the time comes."
Gu Qinglie was confused and didn't understand what they were talking about.
Seeing his silly look, Gu Qingqing felt helpless. She and Gu Canyang looked at each other and then sighed.
After Chu Dai finished his meal, he put his left hand on the back of the chair next to him, and held the woman's left hand with his right hand, resting it on his legs.
He gently squeezed her palm to reassure her.
There is him.
It doesn’t matter if my second uncle is a little stupid.
