Chapter 206: Prosperity 206: You don’t smell sweet either, brother…
Hearing her coughing non-stop, Xiao Xiao quickly reached out and gently stroked her back, "Are you okay, Qingqing?"
The corners of Gu Qingqing's eyes turned red, and she waved her hands, indicating that she should slow down.
The man also leaned over to look at her, and when he saw that she had stopped coughing, he looked away and said to the girl next to him, "Can you be more reserved when you talk? You act like a naughty boy every day. People who don't know you would think you are my brother."
Xiao Xiao glanced at Gu Canyang, then whispered in his ear: "If you can get him for me, I will be your brother."
Chu Dai obviously didn't believe her lies and snorted, "Be my brother? You want to be my sister-in-law, little girl."
Xiao Xiao muttered a few words, "If you don't want to help me, then don't help me. I've told you all the little things you did when you were a kid. My dear——"
Chu Dai pretended not to hear.
The two little guys finished eating first. Gu Qingqing filled a bottle with warm water for them and let them watch TV on the sofa by themselves.
The younger baby can sit steadily on the sofa while holding the bottle, but the older baby is different. He twists himself off the sofa and runs to the coffee table, and finally lies on the TV cabinet with his butt sticking up, and he can't sit still at all.
No one cared about the two brothers; they were just eating.
Chu Yuan asked about Can Yang's service in the Air Force, and also casually asked Chu Dai about it.
The man sneered in his heart, knowing what the man was thinking, but he still spoke out.
As for strategic deployment and military acumen, he still had a lot to learn. During the two years he had been fighting in the Construction Corps, he realized that he was still far from being as good as his father.
Chu Yuan is not a reckless man. He can take up arms and go to the battlefield, or he can sit in the rear and make plans. Although Chu Dai has conflicts with his father, as a soldier, he has to admit it frankly.
Chu Yuan was an extremely outstanding general.
Maybe it will take me another ten, twenty years or even longer to reach his level.
What's even more terrifying is that when he was a child, he had military books and various practical manuals left in the study by Chu Yuan. However, Chu Yuan grew up in a wild way and had nothing, except for experience gained through fighting.
After dinner, Chu Yuan called Gu Canyang and Chu Dai to the study. Xiao Xiao ate his fill, rubbed his belly, and lay back on the chair, burping: "Qingqing, your cooking is really delicious. Chu Dai is so lucky to have such a blessing. If I were a man, I would definitely snatch you away from me."
Gu Qingqing said with a smile while clearing the table: "You have never tasted the food I cooked before, and it is hard to swallow."
"So exaggerated?" Xiao Xiao tilted his head and looked at her: "I thought you were born to be able to cook. Doesn't your uncle work as a chef in a state-owned hotel?"
"How is that possible? No one is born knowing how to cook." Seeing that there were still a few blanched shrimps left on the plate, Gu Qingqing peeled them and ate them. "That's my third uncle. I'll take you back to try his cooking if I have the chance. You can eat it every Chinese New Year, but..."
"I have to become the daughter-in-law of your Gu family, right?" Xiao Xiao rubbed his nose. "I'll try my best. It depends on whether your brother gives you face. At the moment, it seems that it is difficult for your brother to give you face."
Gu Qingqing discovered that Xiao Xiao was not only straightforward but also good at livening up the atmosphere. From this afternoon till now, she had been smiling a lot more than usual.
It would be nice if that iceberg guy really married such a wife.
When they arrived in the kitchen, Gu Qingqing picked up the kettle of boiling water on the stove next to her and filled the basin with water to wash the dishes.
Xiao Xiao supported himself on the door frame with one hand and leaned his back against the door panel, just looking at her, feeling a little at a loss as to where to start.
Gu Qingqing had also seen the thick hair on her palm before, "You don't have to wash it, I can do it alone, talk to me."
"What?" Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, "Bai Rong?"
"All right. I want to hear about Chu Dai's childhood."
"Ah," Xiao Xiao curled his lips, "When he was a kid, there were only two words for him: noisy."
"If someone's roof tiles were blown off, it must have been him, Bai Yan, and Chu Zhao who did it. The three of them had different divisions of labor. Bai Yan came up with the idea, Chu Dai took action, and Chu Zhao got beaten."
Gu Qingqing turned the bowl in the water with her hands, and said in astonishment: "They let Chu Zhao be beaten alone?"
"Chu Zhao runs fast. Uncle Chu often just waves his hand and he disappears. Aunt Chu is also worried about this only child. Uncle Chu doesn't even touch him, but he screams and cries at the top of his lungs. Aunt Chu is so worried that she keeps scolding Uncle Chu."
Gu Qingqing couldn't help but smile.
"But Brother Chu was beaten a lot when he was a kid," Xiao Xiao sighed, "Uncle Chu rarely comes back, and he still argues with Uncle Chu."
"Uncle Chu had a horse whip that accompanied him in battles for many years. It was always placed by his bed. I guess Brother Chu had a deep memory of it. Then the whip was suddenly lost."
Gu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then put the chopsticks in the bamboo tube next to her and asked, "Did Chu Dai throw it away?"
"Who else could it be except him?" Xiao Xiao saw that she was about to take the bowl to the cupboard and helped to open the cupboard door: "When he was a child, he was very naughty and not as obedient as Tuantuan. Didn't you see that he was very patient with little Tuantuan?"
"It seems so." Gu Qingqing put the bowl in the cupboard, poured out the dishwater and wiped the stove with a rag. "He told me that he had a lot of photos when he was a child. I don't know where in the house they are."
"I'm on vacation tomorrow, let's go look for him together." Xiao Xiao also became interested: "When he was a child, he looked pretty much like Tuan Tuan and Nian Nian, but his personality made people dislike him."
Gu Qingqing smiled and nodded.
With Xiao Xu and Shen Sui looking after them, she no longer needed to take care of the two little guys. Now that they were older, they could play by themselves. Gu Qingqing and Xiao Xiao sat on the sofa and chatted.
"Don't you want to tell me about Bai Rong? Go ahead." Gu Qingqing smiled and stuffed a handful of fried taro chips into her hand.
Xiao Xiao inexplicably felt that her smile was somewhat dangerous, and took a bite of the taro chips, "How about just forget it?"
Seeing her narrowed her eyes, Xiao Xiao grinned secretly: "It's nothing, actually. We all grew up together in the same compound. Since her brother and Brother Chu are brothers, she always follows Brother Chu around."
"But at that time, Brother Chu and Chu Zhao both disliked her, saying that she was clumsy and crybaby. If it wasn't for Bai Yan's sake, they wouldn't want to bother with her at all."
Seeing Gu Canyang and the others coming out of the study room one after another, Xiao Xiao changed the subject: "I am different. Brother Chu and A Zhao always like to take me with them no matter what they do. I never hold them back."
Chu Dai came over with a half-smile and tapped the tea table with his fingers: "Okay, stop making up lies and go back quickly." He picked up the enamel cup and took a sip of tea.
Xiao Xiao was about to say something when he heard the man lean over and ask, "Brother, since it's on the way, why don't you go with her?"
She stood up quickly and looked straight at Gu Canyang.
Gu Canyang glanced at her casually and did not refuse.
Gu Qingqing found it a little funny, "Tuan Tuan Niannian, uncle is going back."
The two little guys immediately ran over, holding Gu Canyang's legs on the left and right, and called out one after another: "Chirp~Chirp~"
Chu Dai snorted and laughed: "If you don't know, you might think it's a bird on a tree branch outside."
"That's better than a wild bird like you." Chu Yuan walked to the sofa and sat down. Xiao Xu made another cup of tea and brought it over.
"Where's the cup I had just now?" This one was too hot, so he put it aside.
Xiao Xu's eyes fell on the military green enamel cup in Chu Dai's hand, and he didn't dare to say a word.
Gu Qingqing also curled up in the sofa, propping her face with one hand and looking at him.
Xiao Xiao laughed out loud: "Brother Chu, you drank Uncle Chu's tea. Wow, you dare to drink the chief's tea."
Gu Canyang bent down and picked up the two little guys easily, one in each hand. Tuantuan's saliva marks left a lot on his face.
It was rare for those cold eyes to reveal a hint of a smile.
Chu Dai's hand holding the teacup froze, and he put the cup down silently. Then he thought that since he had already drunk it, he might as well drink it all, so he picked it up again.
Chu Yuan was too lazy to look at him, his eyes were fixed on the TV.
Tuan Tuan and Niannian chatted with their uncle for a while, and Gu Qingqing also went to the kitchen to pack and bag the red date cakes that she had promised to give to Xiao Xiao, and also took out the things that she had brought back for her brother from home.
Gu Canyang saw so many things and shook his head: "Keep them for yourselves."
"We still have some."
"Then just put it here and come over to eat it next time," he said.
Gu Qingqing thought about it and it was okay.
Gu Canyang would only come to her place for dinner when he was sure that he had no flight mission. Otherwise, in order to ensure that there were no mistakes with the food, he would eat at the flight crew stove.
To be honest, he hadn't been over for many meals, and Xiao Xiao was present at the rare two meals.
"Uncle has to carry out a mission tomorrow," Gu Qingqing pulled the two little guys who were clinging to him tightly off, "Let Uncle go back and have a good rest."
Tuantuan put her hands around his neck, twisted her little butt and refused to get down, pointing the back of her head at A Niang.
Gu Qingqing patted his butt and said, "If you like your uncle so much, why don't you sleep with him tonight?"
The little boy nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, with joy in his eyes, and went to get close to his uncle's face again.
Xiao Nian Nian, who had already gotten off the man, was not to be outdone. She reached out and grabbed her uncle's pants, saying in a baby voice, "Go stick to me~"
Gu Qingqing was so angry that she laughed.
Gu Canyang lowered his head and touched his nephew's forehead, and said in a clear voice: "Be good, uncle will come to see you the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Tuantuan pouted and reluctantly let go. He kissed his uncle again before he was willing to come down.
Seeing that his youngest son was still pulling at his brother-in-law's feet, Chu Dai said, "Brother, why don't you just take them back? I'll pack some milk powder and diapers for you."
Gu Canyang squatted down and looked his nephew in the eye: "Be obedient at home every year, and your uncle will come again."
Xiao Niannian blinked his big eyes and nodded as if he understood. He threw himself into his uncle's arms and lay on the man's shoulders for a while before he turned around and walked away contentedly to look for his brother.
After the man got up, Gu Qingqing also rubbed into his arms and sniffed, wondering: "You don't smell sweet either, brother."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Gu Canyang's eyes and he glanced at Chu Dai.
Chu Dai understood and grabbed the woman's waist.
Gu Canyang greeted Chu Yuan and strode out.
Seeing Xiao Xiao still standing there in a daze, Chu Dai said with a smile, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and leave."
"Oh? Oh." Xiao Xiao came back to his senses and quickly ran towards the door following the man's figure.
Chu Dai: "Your life force is still on the cabinet."
Xiao Xiao didn't even turn his head and waved his hand: "I'll leave it here for now. Come and get it tomorrow."
