Chapter 213: She Knows Everything
After watching her disappear completely into the night, Gu Qingqing turned around and went back.
Xiao Xu also went back just now. Now there are only the Chu family, the Gu family, and an old man Qin left in the house. They are all family members.
Gu Qinglie and Gu Canyang each held a sleeping kid in their arms. The two brothers clung to their uncle's neck, tilted their heads and lay on their shoulders, sleeping soundly and peacefully.
There was saliva flowing from the corner of Xiao Tuan Tuan's mouth, wetting Gu Qinglie's clothes.
Seeing that someone was holding them, Chu Dai did not put them upstairs to sleep. After clearing the table, he went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Chu Yuan and Old Qin both returned to their rooms.
When she came in, the man was rubbing chopsticks. She opened the cupboard and took out a bottle of honey. She found a spoon from the chopstick holder next to it and scooped the honey into four enamel cups.
"Do you want to drink, brother?" She tilted her head and asked the person next to her.
"Make a cup, I'm a little thirsty."
"Okay." She squeezed the honey jar tightly and took the thermos that she had filled in the morning. The water was warm, just right for making honey.
She left one cup for the man, served some honey water to the two elders first, and then gave a cup to each of her two brothers.
Gu Canyang took it with one hand, took a sip and casually put it on the tea table.
Gu Qinglie gulped down the drink, still not satisfied, and said, "Another one!"
Gu Qingqing glared at him, "Don't you dislike sweet drinks?"
"How can I not like drinking the tea made by my sister?" Gu Qinglie handed him the enamel cup: "Give me another cup."
Gu Qingqing couldn't do anything about him, so she went back to the kitchen.
Chu Dai also finished washing the dishes. He came out of the kitchen, casually pulled out a towel to wipe his hands, and said to Gu Canyang and Gu Qinglie, "Brother, put them on the bed, and you go wash up."
Gu Canyang nodded, stood up with Xiao Niannian in his arms, and followed the man upstairs.
Gu Qinglie also followed.
Chu Dai turned on the light, and soft light filled the bedroom and reflected on the wooden floor.
He lifted the quilt, and after the two men put the two kids on the bed, he leaned over to undress them and put them on a chair nearby. The two kids were obviously much more relaxed wearing only pajamas.
Tuan Tuan hummed and rolled over in the quilt, right into Nian Nian's arms, and they slept together in each other's arms, with their foreheads touching each other.
Gu Qinglie stood aside with his arms folded, watching Chu Dai tuck in the corner of the quilt, "Is this the induction between twins? Why don't we have it?"
Gu Canyang said nothing.
Chu Dai straightened up and said, "How come there isn't? When you led the team to the enemy's headquarters, my brother suddenly had a heart attack and was forcibly sent to the military hospital."
He heard all this from Chu Zhao later.
The health of a pilot is very important. Even Chu Zhan was shocked at that time. If any problems were found, Gu Canyang’s flying career might end here.
Fortunately nothing happened.
Gu Qinglie was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to cover his chest, turned his head and said to Gu Canyang beside him: "Brother."
"Um."
“That day I felt like I was going to die.”
Taking them to the third floor, Chu Dai pushed open the door and said, "This room has the same layout as the previous one. You can choose one. There is a bathroom and a study next to it. Toothpaste, toothbrush and towels are all ready."
Gu Qinglie walked into a room at random and subconsciously opened the closet. Seeing the clothes that had been neatly hung for several years, he was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Did you bring the clothes I had on the island down here?"
"Qingqing packed it. A few days ago, I made new clothes for Ah Sui because he was about to go back to school. I also made some casual clothes for you and big brother. They are all in this cabinet." Chu Dai leaned against the door frame and did not go in. "You can divide it among yourselves. I can't tell which one belongs to whom."
Gu Qinglie grinned: "Okay, my sister is still thinking about us. I didn't plan to take a shower, but I have to take a shower today because of my sister's kindness."
Chu Dai: "...There is no shortage of water in the military area. Try to wash it every day these days. It will go bad easily."
"I know."
When passing by Gu Canyang, the man paused and said, "Brother, go to bed early."
Gu Canyang nodded slightly.
Gu Qinglie took off his coat and hung it on the back of the chair next to him. He found some clothes in the closet, then suddenly thought of something and asked the man outside, "Brother, are you taking a shower?"
"Yeah." Gu Canyang walked in and stood next to him.
Gu Qingqing also finished washing up and entered the room. She changed into her pajamas, climbed onto the bed, lifted the quilt and slept next to her son.
The man also came in, closed the door, and walked to the bed and sat down.
Gu Qingqing stretched her hand out from under the quilt and looked at him eagerly.
The man understood, chuckled, held her soft hand in his palm, and then passed his five fingers through her fingers and held hers tightly.
The two of them stared into each other's eyes for a few minutes in silence. The man spoke first, "I asked someone to check the time when Ah Sui's father died. It was five years ago, on the twenty-third day of the first lunar month."
Gu Qingqing looked at him with her big, round eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "So in another week, it will be the anniversary of Ah Sui's father's death?"
"Well, I didn't have the chance to take him back to see the temple when we were on the island before. This time I want to take him to pay homage," said the man.
Gu Qingqing had no objection. "Will you have time by then? Ah Sui also needs to study, right?"
"I have two days off. Just give him two more days." Chu Dai played with the woman's fingertips. "Will you go then?"
"I would like to go, but it's not convenient to take these two little guys with me."
"If you want to go, just go. You can borrow Commander Chu's car. After all, Ah Sui's father is also from the military region. He won't refuse."
"Okay." The man had already planned everything, so she didn't have to think too much.
"My second brother had gone back at that time, otherwise I could have asked him to help take care of the child." She muttered to herself.
"He has his own mission, and he will be able to come over and help take care of the children soon."
"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing sensed something from his words, grabbed the man's arm, stood up slightly, and faced him: "You mean, Goudan is going to be transferred to the military region?!"
"Yes, two months at most." The man looked at the smile in her eyes and couldn't bear to tell her that there was still a tough battle to fight. He was also worried that if she knew about it, she would be restless and it would affect Gu Qinglie's condition.
Gu Qingqing leaned forward slightly and snuggled into his arms, her arms around the man's thin waist, and said softly: "...Then I will wait for another two months."
Chu Dai suddenly realized that she actually knew everything.
The next day, early morning.
Chu Dai went to the Navy Headquarters. Shen Sui and Old Qin had breakfast and went to the Children's Middle School together. After reading the newspaper, Chu Yuan, accompanied by Xiao Xu, walked slowly to the headquarters with his hands behind his back.
Gu Qinglie dragged his brother to do morning exercises early in the morning. He felt like his bones were rusty if he didn't exercise every day.
When they came back, they happened to meet Xiao Xiao who was carrying two king crabs, which she had tied up tightly with a rope. She held one in each hand and didn't think they were too heavy.
Gu Qinglie thought this girl was quite interesting and touched his brother's arm: "Don't you really want to consider it? It's rare to meet such a courageous female comrade."
Gu Canyang just glanced at him indifferently and then looked away: "Think more about your own affairs when you have time."
"Brother, you are the one who worries about my affairs." Gu Qinglie put his elbow on his shoulder. "You are so concerned about Qingqing's affairs, but you don't care about your brother. You have such a cruel heart."
Gu Canyang raised his hand and shook his arm off. "When will you return to the Construction Corps?"
"Today is my fourth day off, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Let me calculate." He actually counted on his fingers: "... The twenty-first day of the first lunar month is the ninth day, so I will arrive at the border town on the twenty-second day of the first lunar month."
Gu Canyang nodded: "Return safely."
"Eh?" Gu Qinglie grinned: "Brother, you still care about me."
Seeing that he looked so silly, Gu Canyang was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Gu Qinglie and his friends arrived at the yard earlier than Xiao Xiao. The two kids had already finished their breakfast and drank their milk, and were looking for their uncle everywhere.
Seeing Gu Canyang and Gu Qinglie coming back, each of them picked up one, and the man picked them up easily with his strong arms. Little Tuantuan gave her uncle a crisp kiss on the face.
Gu Qinglie lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Nian Nian in his arms, pointing at his own face: "Xiaobao, come and kiss your uncle!"
Nian Nian looked at his soy-colored face, his white and tender hands supporting his chin, which was full of rejection.
Gu Qinglie said aggrievedly: "Uncle is so sad. I don't get close to him every year. Uncle is going to cry."
Gu Canyang couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he carried his eldest nephew into the living room first.
Finally, Xiao Niannian softened her heart, and the little dumpling with a sweet milky flavor moved over and gently touched the tip of his nose with its little mouth.
Gu Qinglie laughed loudly, put his big hands on the back of his little nephew's head, and gave him a bear kiss on the forehead.
Xiao Niannian kicked her legs to get out of his arms, but the man held her tightly, unable to move.
Because he used too much force, his head hit Gu Qinglie's hard chin, and his fair forehead suddenly turned red.
He uttered a cry: "It hurts~"
Gu Qinglie panicked, and quickly put the man down from his arms. He squatted down and looked at his forehead, apologizing all the time: "Uncle is wrong, uncle shouldn't tease our little treasure..."
Before he could finish his words, two white and tender hands held his chin and blew gently: "Chichi~ It doesn't hurt~ Huhu!"
After saying that, he kissed the man's bearded chin.
Gu Qinglie realized that his nephew was worried that he had been hurt, and he felt comforted.
He held the little guy in his arms, looked at his forehead with heartache, and wanted to touch it with his fingers but didn't dare to: "Uncle, it doesn't hurt. Uncle will go and boil an egg for our little treasure to rub, okay?"
Xiao Niannian hugged his neck, his little head slightly raised.
There was heavy dew last night, so all the dried fish were put away. Today, when the sun came out, Gu Qingqing suggested going out to dry the fish, and they happened to run into Xiao Xiao who was coming towards them.
The two of them, one carrying dried salted fish and the other carrying a big crab, stared at each other for a while and then laughed at the same time.
Gu Qingqing stood on tiptoe to hang the salted fish on the bamboo pole and said with a smile: "You really came with crabs."
"Yes, I, Xiao Xiao, have always been a man of my words and never talk nonsense." The girl casually placed the crab on the stone table and leaned against the table to watch her hook the salted fish: "Where's your brother?" She looked around.
"I just came back from outside. Didn't you guys bump into him?"
"No," Xiao Xiao wondered, "I was wondering why I saw a shadow that looked like your brother and it disappeared in an instant."
