Chapter 203 He thinks highly of me
"Also, the dried sweet potatoes and pumpkins don't stay in the sun for long. You like to eat the soft ones, so you have to eat them quickly, otherwise they will get moldy." Zhou Man muttered.
"There are also some fried taro chips and glutinous rice balls in front for you to eat on the go. The glutinous rice balls are filled with red bean paste, so you can eat them every year."
"I know, grandma."
After putting all the things in the car, Zhou Man pulled Gu Qingqing aside and secretly put a yellowed note in her pocket.
"This is the prescription for expelling cold. Keep it well. The south is humid and it is easy for evil cold to enter the body. If you feel uncomfortable with the dampness in your body, go get some medicine and take it for two days. There are no side effects." Zhou Man looked at the little grandson who was reluctant to leave and pulled Tuantuan and Nian Nian, and her eyes softened: "Take good care of Adai and the two children. Don't let Adai always love you. You should love him too."
"……good."
Secretary Zhou and his colleagues were talking to the cadres of the production team. When they saw Chu Yuan and his colleagues get on the car, they came over to say hello, and then watched the black Liberation car slowly drive on the winding road.
When Shi Chongshan saw his two playmates leaving, he burst into tears and no matter how Gao Haiyue tried to comfort him, it was no use.
Zhou Man also turned her back and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Shi Ji put his arm around his old wife's shoulders and comforted her with a gentle voice.
Shi Lianyun asked Shi Qingzhou: "Did your brother-in-law tell you when to go to the state-owned soy sauce factory?"
Shi Liancai also looked at his nephew.
"You can go anytime after the Lantern Festival." Shi Qingzhou retracted his gaze from afar, "Don't worry, I will work hard. Even if I am a relative, I will not be a relative who holds us back."
Shi Liancai couldn't help but laugh.
The snow on the road outside had almost melted, and the snow water had made the dirt road full of potholes. Chu Dai avoided some large potholes and after two hours he got to the county road, which was a little easier to walk on.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to Datunzi Village.
After lunch, Gu Qingqing and her friends took a short rest and then drove towards Nanyang, carrying the Gu family's heavy love with them.
The car back to the military area was much more spacious. Chu Yuan and guard Xiao Xu sat in the front and took turns driving. Chu Dai was a little tired after driving for the whole morning and dozed off in the back.
The two little guys took off their shoes, climbed from their mother to their uncle, and then snuggled into their father's arms, laughing the whole time.
Perhaps because he missed home, Shen Sui had a rare relaxed smile on his face.
Gu Qingqing brought a lot of vegetable seeds from home this time, intending to plant them all in the backyard when spring comes. Now some seedlings have grown in the greenhouse in the backyard, but it will take some time before we can eat them.
Having woken up early in the morning, Gu Qingqing was a little sleepy. There was no need to worry about the two little guys in the car, so she leaned her head against the car window and gradually fell asleep.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, the vehicle drove into the Southern Military District as the sentries saluted and watched.
Gu Qingqing carried Xiao Niannian out of the car and kissed him on the forehead, "My dear, let's go home."
Chu Yuan had something to do at the headquarters, so he asked them to go home first.
Chu Dai held Xiao Tuantuan in his arms, with Shen Sui beside him, and the five of them returned to the military compound.
Although Nanyang is also cold, it is still much better than Yancheng. Gu Qingqing saw that it was almost half past nine and was too lazy to boil water: "A Sui, go to the cafeteria and bring back two pots of hot water to wash your face."
"Okay." Shen Sui weighed the bottles and found that all the hot water bottles at home were empty. He carried two hot water bottles and walked out of the yard slowly.
The two little guys slept left and right in the car, but now that they are home, they are full of energy and running around the house.
The sharp corners of tables, stools, and coffee tables have been wrapped with cloth, so there is no need to worry about them getting bumped.
Gu Qingqing sat down on the sofa, her whole body limp inside.
Chu Dai turned on the TV and switched to an animated channel for the two kids to watch. He stepped back slightly and sat next to the woman, putting his arms around her waist.
Nowadays, domestically produced cartoons are all about teaching children to return lost items and respect their elders. Xiao Tuantuan and Xiao Niannian didn't understand them. The two brothers lay on the coffee table and drooled at the date tree on TV.
Gu Qingqing nestled in the man's arms, looking at her two sons with her eyelids slightly raised, feeling somewhat helpless: "The dates on TV are also colorless, why are they so greedy."
"Follow second brother." The man said with a smile.
Gu Qingqing laughed non-stop in his arms. Thinking of something, she said, "I wonder if Xiao Xiao has succeeded in wooing Big Brother."
"It's only been a few days," the man glanced at his two sons who were chattering, "Brother's temper needs time to be tempered."
Gu Qingqing climbed up from his arms, looked up at him, and said seriously: "Do you know what Captain Guan said to me before?"
"Huh?" The man raised his eyebrows. He really didn't know this.
"He said you are the most unruly eagle in the desert and you have to endure it slowly."
"Tsk." The man raised his chin slightly, "He thinks too highly of me."
Shen Sui also came back with a kettle of hot water. He couldn't sleep either, so Gu Qingqing took a wooden basin to collect water and added some hot water. He asked the two brothers to sit in the basin and gave them a bath.
Shen Sui also went to the bathroom on the third floor to take a shower. When he got home, everything was familiar to him and he was more active than before.
But in such weather, it is really hard to move. In Datunzi Village and Fengshou Production Team, Gu Qingqing is either sitting by the stove in the kitchen or by the charcoal stove in the house.
The two brothers just made a lot of noise when they got together, flapping their little hands like ducks paddling in the water. Even Gu Qingqing, who was squatting beside them, suffered the consequences and got soaked all over.
She and Chu Dai had to take a shower later, and the hot water had run out, so the man went to the cafeteria again.
"Don't be so noisy when you grow up. It's too troublesome. Mom doesn't have the energy to take care of you." Gu Qingqing sighed, took a big towel from the side, and worried about which one to pick up first.
Seeing that they were having so much fun, she couldn't bear to disturb them, so she just let them play for a while longer and wait for the man to come back.
After taking a bath, I felt particularly comfortable sleeping. Tuantuan and Niannian got into bed wearing pure cotton pajamas, and soon I started yawning.
Gu Qingqing made two bottles of milk and stuffed them into their hands. Then she remembered something and asked the man next to her, "Is the fresh milk that we haven't picked up in the past few days at the sentry box?"
"I'll go check it out tomorrow." Chu Dai lit the charcoal fire and moved the stove to the bedside: "Do you want to wash first or should I?"
"You go first. Take a quick shower and come and look after the child when you're done."
"good."
Chu Dai took off her coat, found clothes from the closet, and also took out her underwear and pajamas and placed them beside the bed.
After the man went to the bathroom next door, she felt a little cold. When she took off her coat, she reached into her pocket and her fingertips touched something. She took it out and took a look -
It was a yellowed piece of paper with many unfamiliar Chinese medicine names written on it.
It should have been written by her grandmother a few years ago.
After glancing at it casually, she stood up and put the note into the drawer of her closet.
The man took five minutes to shower and wash up. When Gu Qingqing saw him come out, she took the clothes from the bedside and went to the bathroom.
Chu Dai had already filled a wooden bucket with water for her. After testing the water temperature, she found it was just right, so she could just wash herself.
"Don't take too long, or you'll catch a cold easily," the man warned.
"I know, brother."
I slept very well this night.
The next day was a sunny day.
When Gu Qingqing got up, her man was no longer at home. She reached into the quilt beside her and found it was already cold.
It was obvious that he had been up for a long time.
Tuan Tuan and Niannian woke up later than her, which was rare. Gu Qingqing hurried to the bathroom to wash up, and then went downstairs to check.
Shen Sui was reading a newspaper downstairs. Xiao Xu would bring the newspaper over on time every day. Chu Yuan and Chu Dai both had the habit of reading newspapers, and he did the same now.
"Sister?" Seeing her coming, Shen Sui put down the newspaper, walked to the table and opened the thermal box, "This morning I made some seafood porridge, steamed sweet potatoes and cornmeal buns."
"Have you eaten?" Gu Qingqing pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Eat it." Shen Sui took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, as well as a spoon, from the kitchen.
"Has your brother-in-law come back with the milk?"
"He had something to do in the morning, so he asked me to get it. I happened to meet someone from the dairy factory, so I asked him. It's considered expired if it hasn't been consumed for seven days. The ones we had before can still be consumed."
"That's good." Gu Qingqing drank two mouthfuls of porridge, her stomach warmed up. "You need to drink a bottle of fresh milk every day, so that you can grow. It's not easy to raise chickens here, and it's not like on the island where I can cook an egg for you every day. You have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative when the time comes."
"I'll go with my sister."
"OK."
Just as she finished her porridge, the two little kids upstairs started crying. The brother and sister looked at each other and ran upstairs at the same time.
After washing them and feeding them some fresh milk, the two little guys played on the sofa by themselves. Gu Qingqing didn't give them the seafood porridge because she was afraid that they were too weak to eat cold food.
After cleaning up the table, she took the money, called Shen Sui, and took the two kids to the nearby market.
Tuantuan is getting older every year. He can walk slowly for a distance by himself, but he still needs to be held for a while to catch his breath from time to time. He is much easier to take care of than before when he couldn't walk.
When passing by a small white building, Gu Qingqing always felt that someone was looking at her, but when she turned around, she found nothing.
She smiled and shook her head, and said to Shen Sui: "Your brother-in-law and I are planning to take you to the Construction Corps during your summer vacation. Do you want to go?"
"I want to go." Shen Sui nodded.
"Okay then," Gu Qingqing couldn't help but laugh, "Let's buy some more fish today, dry them in the sun, and take them to the regiment when the time comes."
"good."
After successfully leaving the military area with the help of the pass, Gu Qingqing held her eldest son who could not walk and talked to her younger brother beside her, "Let's see if we should go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. Oh, I seem to have forgotten to bring the vegetable basket." She realized it later.
Shen Sui put his little nephew down and said, "I'll go back and ask for it."
"Okay, hurry up, the sun is still very hot." Gu Qingqing held one child in her arms and another in her hand, and walked slowly forward.
"Qingqing?" someone called her.
Gu Qingqing turned around in confusion, then smiled and called out, "Aunt Chu."
"Hey, are you going to buy some groceries too?" Aunt Chu was carrying a small basket in her hand and was wearing simple blue cloth clothes. At first glance, you really couldn't tell that she was a military commander's wife.
"Yes, I want to go to the market to see if there are any sea fish and prawns to buy. I want to dry some dried fish and shrimp to send to my second brother."
Aunt Chu was familiar with her eldest brother, but she had never heard of her second brother: "Where is your second brother?"
"Construction Corps." She said with a smile.
