Chapter 184: Let’s go to the hotel to eat
Seeing that she had been teasing the little guy in her arms for a long time without saying anything, she was afraid that she might misunderstand something, so the girl said, "Don't worry, my brother Chu just treats Bai Rong as a sister, and never has that intention."
Gu Qingqing smiled and nodded, "I know everything."
If childhood sweethearts could have been together, they would have been together a long time ago. Chu Dai would do whatever he could to get what he wanted, so she didn't think much about it.
They already have two children. Even if Bai Rong is interesting, what can she do? As a soldier's child and a member of the art troupe, does she dare to destroy a military marriage?
The aunties were indifferent but she did not go up to greet them with a smile. Anyway, she had two children at home and could not leave. She also had to take care of the vegetable garden and sometimes check on Ah Sui's homework.
She is busy.
After chatting with the girl, she learned that the female sniper who dared to pursue her brother was named Xiao Xiao, the daughter of the field army commander Xiao Hui.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "You went to Uncle Xiao to solve your personal problems, what happened afterwards?"
Xiao Xiao twitched his chin in embarrassment, "My father told me to find Uncle Chu, he is the big boss."
Xiao Niannian struggled to get off A Niang, stepped on the sofa and held the backrest, chattering all the time, but Gu Qingqing ignored him.
"So what does Dad say?"
"Uncle Chu told me to figure it out on my own. It's too embarrassing to need so many people at home to help me chase a man." Xiao Xiao secretly glanced at the man sitting there with his own style, and sighed: "Your brother is really too hard to chase."
Gu Qingqing burst out laughing.
After finishing the meal, they cleaned the table. Chu Yuan and the others went to the study to get pen, ink, paper, inkstone and abacus. Xiao Hui threw two big reunion notes on the table. Xiao Xiao found some red date cake from the kitchen and put it on the table.
There were all kinds of tools, including pens, ink, paper, red date cakes, big knots, abacus, rulers, books, and seals. Suddenly, Chu Zhan asked, "Who brought the gun?"
Chu Dai subconsciously reached for his gun, but Chu Zhao, who had just returned from the air force base, held his hand and said, "You need to change your habit of always loading your gun." He then took out a gun from his waist and placed it on the table.
Hearing his words, Chu Yuan looked at his son with an unclear expression.
Chu Dai didn't pay much attention and put Tuantuan on the table. The other one was already standing beside the table, and Gu Canyang was behind his little nephew to protect him.
"What do you think these two little guys will catch?" Xiao Xiao asked Gu Qingqing beside him with great interest.
"I don't know either." Gu Qingqing shook her head.
Everyone in the room stared with bated breath. When little Tuantuan saw so many things, she laid on the table and arched her little butt to move forward. She tried to reach something with her little hands, but when she couldn't reach anything, she twisted her body forward again.
Niannian seemed to be frozen in place, just watching his brother move. When Xiao Tuantuan hit the abacus and made a clear and pleasant laugh, he suddenly lifted his legs and staggered forward with his little feet.
Gu Qingqing's eyes widened when she saw this scene. She grabbed the man's arm with her fingers, unable to believe it but also very happy: "...Brother."
Chu Dai didn't expect that his youngest son would be the first to walk. Maybe he didn't even notice it, as his big eyes like black grapes stared at his brother's little hand without blinking.
Although he was a little slow, he finally reached his brother's side. He squatted down, then lost balance and fell forward. Gu Qingqing couldn't help but scream. Gu Canyang quickly grabbed his nephew by the back of the collar and put him back in place.
Gu Qingqing was still in shock and looked at her two sons with some worry. Chu Dai held her waist and shook his head slightly at her.
She was still worried whether the two kids were frightened, but it turned out that the two brothers were laughing heartlessly, which made everyone present feel relieved.
Xiao Tuantuan's fingers touched the abacus, but she quickly let go and grabbed a red date cake, holding it tightly in her hand.
A military commander saw this and said, "This child will have a good time in the future."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Tuantuan stuffed the cake directly into her brother's mouth. After Xiao Niannian took a bite, she stopped and started eating too.
Chu Yuan always looked at his two grandsons with loving eyes, and from time to time he would say to Chu Zhan: "Look how well behaved this kid is."
In the end, Xiao Tuantuan grabbed a seal, and Xiao Niannian held Chu Zhao's gun tightly in his arms, grinning and drooling at his father and mother.
The army commanders were all Chu Yuan's old subordinates. They knew what he liked to hear and told him everything he wanted to hear, making Chu Yuan laugh so hard that he couldn't stop smiling.
Chu Dai looked at him like this and helped Gu Qingqing clean up the table.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening and the army commanders were about to go home. Gu Qingqing packed the red eggs and steamed buns with red dots that she had prepared long ago for them to take home, and Chu Dai saw them off to the door.
Gu Canyang also went back. Xiao Xiao looked at his back and curled his lips, then said to Chu Dai: "Brother Chu, I'm going back first. I'll come back when I have time. By the way, Bai Rong is back. You should keep a distance from her. You have a wife and children now. Please consider Qingqing's feelings."
The man looked at her with a half-smile: "What did Qingqing say to you? When did your relationship become so good? This is the first time I've seen you."
"I just like her. She didn't tell me anything. Anyway, you just need to be careful. Besides, maybe we will be a family in the future. You may have to call me sister-in-law." Xiao Xiao peeled a red egg and ate it, then waved to him, "Let's go. Don't see me off."
Chu Dai, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, sneered and slowly returned to the house.
Now there are only five people left in the family. Gu Jianguo and his family haven't returned yet. The two little guys are held by their grandfather and uncle. Xiao Nian Nian can walk now. Shen Sui supports him from behind and lets him walk slowly. Tuantuan is dumbfounded.
She kicked her legs and tried to get out of grandpa's arms.
Chu Yuan bent down and put him down, comforting him, "Don't worry, Tuantuan, you will be able to walk soon if you can stand steadily..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Tuantuan stumbling towards his brother with his little hand outstretched. The old man was stunned.
The last sentence was: "Twin brothers indeed."
At eleven o'clock, after a busy day, the couple returned to their room with their child. Chu Dai went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot water, while Gu Qingqing took off her two baby shoes, socks and coat and stuffed them into the quilt.
"If they can leave now, there will definitely be chaos in the house. Can you look over there?" The man came in with a washbasin, squeezed out the hot towel in his hand and handed it to her.
Gu Qingqing took it and wiped the brothers' faces: "Sure, if you need to do anything, just put them in the sitting basket. Usually you, dad and my two brothers are not at home, so I don't have to cook. Ah Sui is at home now and can help me get meals and take care of the children."
Chu Dai unbuttoned his coat and casually put it aside. He leaned over slightly to light the charcoal stove that had long gone out. "That's good. I asked the military doctor, and one-year-old children can drink a small amount of fresh milk. You can gradually increase the amount. You can start to wean them off milk."
The two little guys always like to bite with their teeth when they are breastfeeding. Gu Qingqing cried in pain several times. Chu Dai was so distressed that he forcefully took the children away from her arms. Recently, the two little guys have been drinking milk powder, eating rice porridge, and egg custard more often, but at night, when they are in A Niang's arms, they always snuggle into her chest.
Gu Qingqing couldn't bear to see their pitiful eyes, so she had to give them the food.
Chu Dai felt distressed and helpless. He consulted a military doctor these two days, and was told to apply Tiger Balm on the surface. The child would not dare to eat it again after eating it once, and it would be a good time for him to start drinking milk.
Gu Qingqing applied it tonight, and the two little guys burst into tears after eating it. Gu Qingqing looked at the man helplessly.
The charcoal stove has been lit. Chu Dai just took it to the balcony vent and blew on it to speed up the burning speed. Now he brought it in and placed it next to the bed, and the whole room became warm.
He lifted the quilt and sat down, holding Tuantuan in his arms and coaxing him gently: "Be good, don't cry. Tuantuan, it doesn't hurt, but you bit my mother, she also feels pain, we men should bear it, okay?" As he said that, he wiped the tears from the boy's face with his fingertips and kissed him: "Tomorrow, Dabao and Xiaobao will start drinking milk, and uncle will drink it too, it tastes good."
When Xiao Nian Nian, who was lying on Gu Qingqing's body, saw that his brother had stopped crying, he also pursed his lips and quieted down. The two brothers were tired of crying, and soon fell asleep under the gentle words of their father and mother.
After putting them inside and covering them with the quilt, the man hugged the woman from behind and rubbed his chin against her shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Qingqing's eyes were soft, and she leaned on the man's hard chest, feeling his body temperature: "You've worked hard too."
The couple smiled at the same time. Chu Dai kissed her neck and said, "Go to sleep."
Soon it was the first lunar month. That morning, Gu Qingqing was sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater, Shen Sui was reading a book upstairs, and the two little guys were sitting in the basket beside them, clapping their hands and staring at the black and white TV.
The lights and shadows inside flashed across the figures, and they watched with great interest.
"It seems as if I can really understand it." Gu Qingqing muttered a few words and shook her head with a smile.
The two little guys now drink milk every day and less milk powder. They especially like egg custard and minced meat soup. Gu Qingqing occasionally stews some bones for them to eat with rice.
Because of the special supply certificate, the milk station would deliver the milk to the sentry post early in the morning every day. Sometimes Shen Sui would bring it back, and occasionally guard Xiao Xu would bring it back.
The monthly expenses for these two little guys are quite high now, and eggs, minced meat, and fresh milk are all necessary. Fortunately, his grandfather and father have a high allowance, which is enough to support them.
Tuantuan wore a longevity locket around his neck every year, and the bells on the silver bracelets on his wrists jingled. When the brothers were watching TV, they danced and the bells jingled non-stop. The louder they jingled, the happier they laughed. They even deliberately waved their hands for Gu Qingqing to see, mumbling, "Ah~ Mom!"
Gu Qingqing pinched some of the soft cake beside her and stuffed it into her brothers' mouths. Seeing them smacking their lips, she ate some herself.
Soon it was the 29th of February. Gu Qingqing had packed all her things last night. Dad said that there were many people this year and it would cost a lot of money to buy bus tickets, so they decided to just drive back.
As the commander of the military region, he has a special military vehicle. Xiao Xu and Chu Dai can both drive, and it only takes four or five hours from Nanyang to Yancheng, so Gu Jin and others don't have to go to the train station to pick them up.
Chu Dai held his son in his arms and said, "He just didn't want his two grandsons to have to smell the coal smoke on the train."
"Maybe they're afraid that Tuantuan will catch a cold every year. It takes more than half an hour of cold wind to walk from the train station to my house. Your body may be able to handle it, but the babies can't." Gu Qingqing said with a smile.
After finishing their breakfast, the family put their luggage bags in the car and left the military area smoothly.
Nanyang has a good economy and smooth roads, so Jiefang brand cars drive very steadily.
Xiao Xu was driving, Chu Dai was sitting next to him, and behind him were Chu Yuan, Shen Sui, and Gu Qingqing.
The two little guys were rubbing against each other in their grandpa and uncle's arms, sometimes wanting to look out the window, and sometimes kicking their little feet to get down.
Gu Qingqing was very glad that her father told her to drive back, otherwise it would have been too noisy.
We arrived in Yancheng around 1pm.
It would take at least an hour to go back home. The two kids were so hungry that they kept making noises. Chu Yuan asked his daughter-in-law, "Qingqing, is there a state-owned hotel here? Let's go eat there."
"Yes! My third uncle works at the state-owned hotel next to the guesthouse." Gu Qingqing lowered the car window and looked out. "Brother Xiaoxu, go another 100 meters ahead and turn left. You will see the guesthouse sign. The state-owned hotel is next to it."
