Chapter 267: I feel bad for you
"I just went to Xinhua Bookstore with Sister Chang Yue to buy some books and mail them back. I don't know if it will be too late in the next month."
Her godfather had heard the news a long time ago, but she still had to study secretly at home, and there were no books or materials at home. She was afraid that her brothers were also half-baked.
Gu Qingqing searched for candy in his trouser pocket, but couldn't find any after searching for a long time. The man's eyes darkened, and he took his sleepy son aside and said, "Go upstairs and sleep."
Nian Nian suddenly stood on the floor, looking at his father and mother blankly, and didn't react for a long time.
After a while, he rubbed his eyes, yawned, and walked towards the stairs by himself.
Gu Qingqing glanced at him and continued to look for candy, mumbling: "Have you finished your candy? Why are your pockets empty?"
"Don't touch it, it's in my pocket." The man grabbed her hand, lowered his eyes and said helplessly: "I feel uncomfortable when you do this."
Gu Qingqing followed his gaze and looked down, then struggled out of his hand: "Then you just have to suffer, I'm going to sleep too."
The jade bracelet slid across the man's fingertips, leaving a warm touch.
Chu Dai used a little force to pull the woman who had risen slightly into his arms, and rested his chin on her head: "I can't be alone in this pain."
Gu Qingqing felt his heat and sighed: "Okay."
In the past two days, the books in Xinhua Bookstore were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves. The workers in the printing factory worked overtime to print more books. Long queues formed in front of the library before dawn. Intellectuals, workers, farmers and comrades from all walks of life were caught up in the frenzy, working late into the night and copying books if there were no books.
The "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" has become the most popular book. It is no longer available in bookstores. The printing factory and the library have also borrowed the books. Many people ask -
"Hello, administrator. Do you have a copy of the Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-Study Series?"
The librarian was extremely worried and could only urge the printing factory.
Recently, the workers have been reading books or taking notes while testing each other while eating in the cafeteria. The sound of reading can be heard everywhere.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Gu Qingqing began to prepare meals and waited for the men to return from their mission to eat.
Gousheng is also coming today, and Xiao Xiao shamelessly follows Goudan all the way over to eat.
They were both in the field army, and Gu Qinglie was much higher in rank than her.
Hearing Gu Qinglie's constant boasting, Xiao Xiao waved his hands repeatedly: "Alright, alright, if you hadn't fought a few tough battles in the border town and made some contributions, do you think it would be so easy to get promoted now? Ask Xue Xu how many years he has been working as a staff officer. He works diligently like an old ox, but he still hasn't been promoted."
Moreover, many people talked behind his back, saying that Xue Xu released the staff officer because of his father's connections.
As for Gu Qinglie, no one thinks that he relies on Chu Yuan. Everyone knows which battle is the reason for the peaceful establishment of diplomatic relations with the neighboring country.
When he saw a man holding a baby in his arms and walking with another baby in his hands at the door, Xiao Xiao couldn't take his eyes off him and walked up to him quickly: "Jiaojiao, do you want me to hold you?"
Jiaojiao was very considerate, loosened her arms around her uncle's neck, turned around and called her sweetly: "Auntie~"
"Hey!" When Xiao Xiao took Jiaojiao from the man's arms, she accidentally touched the back of his hand that was protecting Jiaojiao's lower back. His face turned red and he quickly ran away holding Jiaojiao.
"Slow down! Auntie~" The little tuft of hair on Jiaojiao's head was shaken, and she was so scared that she quickly lay on Xiao Xiao's shoulder.
Gu Qinglie sighed and said, "What's going on? You're running faster than a rabbit, but you're so hungry? Do snipers have to train a lot?"
As he spoke, he put his elbow on Gu Canyang's shoulder and said, "Brother, what are we having for dinner?"
Gu Canyang raised his shoulders slightly and pushed his arms away, not wanting to pay any attention to him.
"Why are you all standing at the door?" Chu Yuan came back from the headquarters with Xiao Xu. "Come in. I have something to tell you."
After saying that, he strode into the living room.
Gu Qinglie glanced at his brother, then followed him in.
"Brother, come and help serve the dishes." Gu Qingqing shouted in the kitchen.
"Hey, here you are." Gu Qinglie glanced at the little star that was clinging to Gousheng, "If you didn't know, you would think he was your son."
Their personalities and looks are 70% similar.
Neither of them is a talkative person, and Xiao Xingxing doesn't like to cling to people usually, but she just likes to follow Gousheng.
Gu Canyang bent down and picked up his little nephew, and glanced at him calmly: "Go and serve the dishes, don't talk so much."
"Oh, okay, okay." Gu Qinglie grabbed his head and walked to the kitchen, mumbling, "My head is a little itchy. I have to take a bath tonight."
"..." Chu Dai, who was passing by him with a braised fish in his hand, said speechlessly, "I was wondering why Tuantuan and Niannian don't like to take a bath recently. They must have learned it from you, right?"
"That's not the case. Don't blame me for everything. The weather is getting colder. Why do you need to take a shower every day? It's easy to catch a cold. They don't have to train, so why take a shower if they don't sweat?"
Finally, he added: "Anyway, they are sleeping with me now, I don't mind them."
Chu Dai snorted and laughed: "Starting tonight, the two brothers will sleep in the room next to each other on the second floor."
Gu Qinglie's eyes widened: "That won't work..."
"No?" The man raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Okay, lock the snack cabinet and don't let it be opened at night."
"I think they are old enough to sleep by themselves. I will go to the second floor to make blankets for them later." Gu Qinglie immediately changed his words.
He doesn't have any other hobbies, except that he gets hungry easily at night and likes to eat canned fruit, osmanthus cake, and almond cookies.
I also ate with my two little nephews in the room.
Gu Qingqing was not very happy about them eating snacks at night, for fear that it would damage their teeth.
The food was on the table. Gu Qingqing came out with the bowl and chopsticks and said to the short-haired girl who was sitting on the sofa playing with Jiaojiao, "Eat, Xiaoxiao, don't bother her."
"Coming, coming." The girl replied cheerfully.
Chu Dai had already brought the egg custard over. Jiaojiao and Xiaoxingxing both ate on the small stools beside the tea table. The bowls were enamel bowls, so they were not afraid of being dropped, at most the paint would be chipped.
Tuantuan and Niannian always sit in the child chair, which was specially made for them by Gu Yin. Jiaojiao and Xiaoxingxing can also sit there, but the brother and sister prefer to eat at the coffee table.
Jiaojiao wanted to watch TV, but as for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...Gu Qingqing thought the little guy might think they were talking too loudly.
Xiao Xu first served Chu Yuan a bowl of rice, and then sat next to Gu Qinglie.
Gu Qingqing sat next to Chu Dai, and Gu Canyang was on Chu Dai's left.
Tuan Tuan stays by Grandpa's side every year. If she wants a dish that she can't get herself, she will act coquettishly to Grandpa and get him a bowl full of meat.
Gu Qingqing couldn't help but say, "Can we eat some green vegetables? In some places, you can't even get green leafy vegetables if you want them."
Tuantuan shook his head: "I ate a lot of vegetables in the cafeteria at noon."
Niannian replied: "Now Xiaobao and his brother just want to eat meat."
"Eat meat, eat meat." Gu Qinglie picked up a piece of crispy meat and put it into Nian Nian's bowl. "Don't listen to your mother. She herself doesn't like to eat meat. Even though vegetables are good, we can't eat them all the time. We need to grow."
"I didn't just let them eat vegetables and no meat. What do you think, Gu Qinglie?" Gu Qingqing put down his chopsticks, "Brother, look at him!"
Gu Canyang glanced at his brother, and Goudan immediately restrained himself.
He picked up a handful of spinach with his chopsticks and placed it on top of the meat in Nian Nian's bowl. "Your mother is right. You should eat more green vegetables to get nutrition. Your uncle Zhao Ze said that people cannot go a day without eating green vegetables, otherwise they will get a shot in the butt."
He frightened his nephews.
Tuantuan didn't buy his tricks. When the vegetables were about to fall into her bowl, she used chopsticks to stop them: "It's enough to eat a certain amount every day. Uncle, don't bully us because we are young and uneducated."
Gu Qinglie glanced at Chu Dai and asked, "Do you think they are bullying me?"
"Well, I think so." The man slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin and white wrist bones, and then put a piece of pork belly into the woman's bowl.
Gu Qingqing could tell that the two men were trying to change the subject, so she said gloomily, "Just get used to him. From now on, you will have to eat the vegetables they don't eat."
"I'll eat, I'll eat." Gu Qinglie heard this and stuffed the vegetables that were about to go into Tuan Tuan's bowl back into his own mouth: "My sister's dishes are delicious, much better than those in the cafeteria."
Xiao Xiao was a little disgusted when he saw him like this: "Why are you eating so fast? Look at your brother, you don't act like a brother at all."
Gu Canyang ate silently and chewed slowly.
Gu Qinglie disagreed, "Why don't they look like brothers? At least they look the same."
Gu Qingqing rolled her eyes and said to Xiao Xiao, "Don't bother with him. He's just dreaming all the time."
Chu Yuan listened with a smile, but felt a little disappointed when he thought that they were about to go to the capital.
After dinner, Xiao Xiao and Gu Qingqing picked up the dishes and went to the kitchen, Chu Dai wiped the table, Xiao Xu swept the floor, and Gu Qinglie and Gu Canyang washed the dishes.
Chu Yuan talked to his grandchildren for a while and asked them, "Do you want to study?"
Tuantuan learns a lot of words every year. When they were a little over one year old, their uncle taught them to recognize words. When they were two years old, their father and uncle taught them to write. Although Gu Qinglie is careless, he is never careless when treating his two nephews.
Sometimes my butt hurts after sitting for too long and I can’t sit still.
Fortunately, Gu Canyang would come over from time to time. He was very patient, and Tuan Tuan's heart instantly calmed down when he was with him every year.
Tuan Tuan lay on Grandpa's lap, tilted his head and thought for a while: "Is he studying in the military district's primary school?"
Chu Yuan sighed, his eldest grandson was too smart.
But he also felt a little proud in his heart, because this was the child of their Chu family.
"Go to the capital, to where your Grandpa Qin is." He touched his grandson's hair.
Niannian lay on his back and asked, "Grandpa, are you going too?"
"Grandpa can't go now." Chu Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Dad, Mom, and Second Uncle will accompany you. Only after Grandpa retires in a few years can he go to accompany Dabao and Xiaobao."
Niannian seemed to understand: "So, Grandpa, do you want us to go to the capital to study or stay in Nanyang?"
Chu Yuan: “…”
This kid is very shrewd. Throw the questions to him to avoid the adults asking them first.
Chu Dai was wiping the table. He heard the conversation between his grandfather and his two grandchildren and burst out laughing.
Chu Yuan looked at him coldly: "At the beginning of next year, the PLA Political Academy will be re-established."
"Are you sure?"
Chu Dai paused in his movements.
"Well, the accurate news will be out next month and it won't be changed." When one is in Chu Yuan's position, he will be the first to know about any movement.
