Chapter 137: Prosperity 137 Then you really think highly of your man...
Gu Qingqing walked to Shen Sui's side and sat down on the chair where the man had sat. A shadow fell and the boy subconsciously raised his head.
"Sister." His eyes were dark.
The woman said, "Just keep writing. I'll just take a look and not disturb you."
Shen Sui shook his head. How could my sister being there be a disturbance?
"I'll go get a glass of water." He said as he was about to get up.
Gu Qingqing smiled softly, "Okay, I'll make you a cup with sugar too."
Shen Sui nodded, put down his pencil, pulled out his chair and walked out of the room.
Chu Dai was cooking noodles in the kitchen. When he saw him coming, he asked, "Have you finished writing?"
Shen Sui shook his head, "Just a little more, let me soak my sister in water."
The man leaned against the stove and saw that the water was about to overflow. He turned down the volume again and said, "There's a letter from the police station. Your mother fell off the cliff by herself. It happened to rain that day and she stepped on the moss."
Shen Sui's face showed no emotion. He silently picked up the kettle and poured water into three enamel cups. He only added sugar to one cup.
He brought a glass of water to Chu Dai and looked up at the man: "Brother-in-law, I understand." The only knot in his heart was untied, and his eyes were not as gloomy as before.
Chu Dai nodded and took the cup with one hand. It was too hot so he put it on the stove.
Twenty minutes later, Chu Dai brought three bowls of noodles upstairs on a plate. Gu Qingqing was already hungry. When she smelled the fragrance, she leaned over the back of the chair, staring at the man with her big, dark eyes.
Chu Dai put the noodles on the table and said to Shen Sui, "Eat first, and then write after you finish eating."
Shen Sui obediently put away his book, made room for the bowl, and took it.
Seeing that only he and his sister had eggs in their bowls, he was silent for a moment and wanted to exchange bowls with Chu Dai.
The man glanced at him casually and said, "Eat it if I give it to you. Hurry up and grow taller, or your sister will be distressed again."
Shen Sui withdrew his hand and nodded solemnly.
The couple looked at each other and laughed out loud.
This kid is quite sincere sometimes.
The bowl of noodles was too hot, so Chu Dai didn't let her touch it. He took the bowl with the egg and sat on the bed. He rolled it up twice with chopsticks, blew on it to cool it down, and then fed it to her mouth.
Gu Qingqing ate in small bites. Chu Dai fed her some shredded pork from time to time, and when she finished eating, he picked up the egg.
The woman took a bite and shook her head: "You eat it too."
"I'm not very hungry." The man leaned forward, his back arched. "You eat first."
"You're so tired every day and haven't eaten anything." Gu Qingqing shook her head, took the chopsticks from his hand, picked up the egg and forced him to take a bite: "Comrade Chu Dai, I'm ordering you to eat now."
The man let out a faint smile, tilted his head to signal her to look at Shen Sui, and said silently with his lips: "The child is still here."
Gu Qingqing pouted, "Okay."
Seeing her hanging her head and looking dejected, he remembered what Zhao Ze said about pregnant women keeping a good mood. Before the woman withdrew her hand, he opened his mouth and took a bite of the egg she had bitten.
Only then did Gu Qingqing smile.
After feeding her, Chu Dai put the empty bowl aside and ate his own portion directly with her chopsticks.
After Shen Sui finished his homework, he checked it, took the bowl of noodles and said to the boy, "Go downstairs, wash up and go to bed early. I'll take you to school tomorrow."
Shen Sui pursed his lips, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Brother-in-law, it will only take a few minutes. I can walk over there by myself."
Chu Dai couldn't help laughing, and said lazily, "Okay, then go by yourself, don't forget what you promised me."
"Know."
Gu Qingqing followed him downstairs holding his shirt. The man offered a hand to support her, while his right hand held the empty bowl of noodles steadily.
The woman said with some amusement, "I'm only one and a half months old, brother. I'm not to the point where I need help yet."
Even though she said this, she still held his arm tightly.
The wooden stairs creaked as they walked. The man turned around and looked at her: "I'm always worried that you'll bump into something when you're next to me."
Gu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said nothing more.
After washing up, the couple went back to their room to sleep.
It was dawn.
The dark clouds dissipated, and a large area of bright light enveloped the sky.
Gu Qingqing yawned and got up to prepare to cook. When she arrived at the living room, she found that the food was already on the table. Shen Sui brought out three bowls and chopsticks.
Behind him was a man with his long sleeves rolled up in two pieces, revealing his two white arms.
Gu Qingqing was forced to sit at the table by him and asked in confusion, "Did you do all this?"
There are steamed buns, scallion pancakes, and sweet potato porridge.
Chu Dai knew she had misunderstood, rubbed his nose, sat down next to her and served her porridge: "No, Ah Sui went to the cafeteria to get it back, I just went to the kitchen to boil water."
"Oh." Gu Qingqing suppressed her laughter: "I thought Captain Chu could even cook now."
Chu Dai shook his head: "Then you really think highly of your man." At this point, he changed the subject: "The telegram has been sent out, but there is no reply. I guess your family is in a mess."
Gu Qingqing slowly stirred the sticky sweet potato porridge with a spoon and said, "Grandma, mother, and second aunt must be busy bringing things for me. You see, when the supply ship comes next time, they will also bring things from home." She was very determined.
This is the confidence that comes from being spoiled. Chu Dai nodded with a gentle look in his eyes, "We should also give our daughter this confidence in the future."
"Of course." Gu Qingqing put a piece of scallion pancake into Shen Sui's bowl and praised him, "Our Ah Sui is amazing now. He can even go to the cafeteria to get food. In the future, he can try to talk to the uncles and aunts on the island. They are all very nice people."
"As for Xiao Huan, the third grader in your school, the clothes you are wearing were made by his mother at the request of my sister."
Shen Sui nodded, indicating that he understood.
Gu Qingqing was troubled by his cold personality and asked the man beside her quietly, "Why don't we let our nephew take care of him? Ah Ta is outgoing and Ah Sui will be more cheerful when playing with him."
The man shook his head and poured himself a bowl of porridge: "Let them have their fun. If he wants to play alone, he can play by himself. He doesn't have to force himself to be sociable just to make us happy."
Gu Qingqing thought about it and felt that this was something Shen Sui could do.
So I gave up the idea.
After breakfast, Chu Dai was going to the dugout, wearing the clothes she had mended yesterday. After hugging the gentle woman for a while, he bent down and kissed the tip of her nose, and put his big hand on her lower abdomen.
"You two stay with mom and wait for dad to come back and bring you dates."
Who knew that Gu Qingqing shook her head and said, "It's too sweet. I want to eat hawthorn."
"Okay." Chu Dai said without hesitation. He didn't know if there were any more on the mountain, so he planned to go look for them after the mission. "Take care of yourself at home. If you feel tired, don't cook lunch. I'll bring it back from the cafeteria."
"I'm not that weak, brother." Gu Qingqing stood on tiptoe and kissed his thin lips, and said mischievously: "I'm only eighteen! Not eighty! My arms and legs are not so old that I can't walk or do anything, so don't worry, just do what you should do."
"Okay." The man reluctantly withdrew his hand, "Wait for me to come back at noon, wife."
Gu Qingqing found that this man was becoming more and more clingy, and the cold and arrogant look he had when they first met had long disappeared.
She lowered her eyes and touched her belly, her heart soft.
When Shen Sui came down from upstairs with her schoolbag, she put her arm around the boy's shoulders and said, "Sister, can I take you to school?"
Shen Sui glanced at her belly subconsciously. The woman shook her head and smiled: "It's okay. Your brother-in-law is a father for the first time and has no experience. He is too nervous. Don't worry about him."
Shen Sui nodded, "Walk slower."
Gu Qingqing sighed, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
The two of them closed the gate and walked on the path again, facing the morning sun and feeling the breeze on their faces.
Gu Qingqing greeted her sisters-in-law with a smile: "Are you drying your clothes? It's so early. It's a good time to go out for a walk after sending the kids to school."
Chen Jiefang told the dozen or so people from the Construction Corps that she was pregnant. Zhao Ze warned him, "Don't tell anyone that the girl is pregnant before the third month."
This saying also exists in Chen Jiefang's hometown, so he did not refute Zhao Ze's mockery of him being superstitious.
He greeted the sisters-in-law along the way and sent Shen Sui to the door of Building No. 1. Just as he was about to take a walk around, he ran into Xu Nian who was returning from the cafeteria after lunch.
"Sister Anian!" She waved her hand and motioned the woman to look over here.
Seeing that she was still so noisy, Xu Nian came over holding her belly and said softly, "You are pregnant, don't jump around next time. I was so nervous just now."
"It's okay. I know what's going on when I see you're happy." Gu Qingqing held her arm as they walked along the way. "Chu Dai sent a telegram to my mother and the others. I think the next time the supply ship comes, they'll bring me something."
Xu Nian nodded, "It's only four or five days away. We have nothing to do. Why don't we go for a walk on the beach?"
"Okay," Gu Qingqing said with brisk steps, "I'm especially happy when I think that Yu Ruan will leave the island in a few days and I can receive the things sent from home."
"You." Xu Nian also smiled: "But after leaving the island, Yu Ruan must first go to the Southern Military Region for a two-month review. Only after the review is passed can he return home."
Gu Qingqing blinked her eyes. "I've heard about this, too. People on the island have to submit an application report several months in advance before leaving the island, and they can only be released after review. Even someone like her who leaves the island suddenly cannot escape review."
"That's right. I just don't know if Yu Ruan will be quiet after going to the Southern Military Region. Who knows, maybe she wants to find a man there."
The two women talked as they walked, both in a good mood.
southern district.
Yu Ruan has been making a fuss since yesterday, and has repeatedly begged her brother not to send her off the island, even moving her deceased mother out.
Bai Tao made breakfast and asked Yu Yang to come over to eat. "Xiao Yang, go call your dad over. After breakfast, mom will take you to school."
Yu Yang did as he was told. Bai Tao glanced at the crying woman leaning on the back of the chair with a cold expression on her face.
When Yu Cheng came over, Yu Ruan started to make a scene again, and finally she just lay on the table and cried loudly: "Brother, you promised my parents that you would take good care of me, what's going on now? Do you think I'm too tired or embarrassed for you?"
Bai Tao had a cold face and bit the steamed bun, thinking to herself, aren't you quite self-aware?
Yu Cheng felt a headache from her crying, so he said, "I'm going to the bathroom." Then he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Because his voice was covered by Yu Ruan's crying, she didn't hear it.
Hearing her crying endlessly, Bai Tao was afraid that Yu Cheng would soften his heart and plead with Instructor Jiang to let her stay here. She glanced at Yu Yang who was eating and touched her stomach, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
She stood up and deliberately said loudly: "Yucheng, are you going to the cave? I'll take you out."
Then he walked to the living room door and deliberately closed it, making a sound.
Yu Ruanzhen thought her brother had gone out, so she raised her head from the table and said harshly, "Bai Tao, you and Gu Qingqing said something, right? That's why she is targeting me everywhere!"
Bai Tao looked at her swollen eyes, glanced at the bathroom calmly, and then said in a calm voice: "Why don't you tell me what you did? If you didn't do anything, what can I say to Gu Qingqing?"
