Chapter 230: Prosperity 230: Well, I am very grateful to him
"You are so lucky," Xue Xu subconsciously reached into his trouser pocket for a cigarette, and when he saw the two kids there, he paused, "It's okay to be a little tired in the army, the most important thing is to have a harmonious relationship with my family when I go home."
His mother was a fierce fighter and she cursed everyone with all her might. From his father to him and his wife, no one could escape the curse.
Especially since his wife didn't give birth to a child, in his mother's eyes, the Xue family's bloodline was going to end, so she urged him to divorce several times. Seeing that there was no hope, she went to persuade his wife again.
Look, we just had a fight and he came out straight after dinner.
Seeing the harmonious family of Chu, it is inevitable to feel some emotion.
"I don't think she's ordinary." Chu Dai fed his son, who was lying on the armrest of the sofa, a mouthful of soup, and scooped a spoonful for the kid with his mouth open on his lap: "She has made an indelible contribution to our family's current appearance."
He also thought about what would happen now if he had not become brothers with Gu Qinglie, Goudan had not sent their photos back, and the girl had not been so brave to come to him.
Maybe he is still in the Construction Corps, and he has wasted his life there. Maybe before, now, or in the future, he died in a battle and his body was sent back to the Southern Military Region.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you may live a lonely life.
It was also rare for Chu Yuan to see him for several years, and the relationship between father and son was always as distant as a world apart.
As for Chu Yuan, he also goes back and forth between the headquarters and his home every day, or he may just live in the headquarters and eat in the cafeteria every day. Come to think of it, it seems that he is almost the same as him, also alone.
There are no grandchildren around me like today.
There will be intersections between Old Qin and the Chu family, but they will not be as deep as they are now. He may stay on the island or return to the capital. The possibility of him staying in the military district is extremely small.
As for Shen Sui, he was most likely sent back to his grandmother's house.
"Why do others think it's unimportant?" Chu Dai scraped the soup stains on his son's lips with his fingers. "If it weren't for Gu Qingqing, none of the people you see now would be sitting here."
There is no chance to become a family.
Xue Xu thought for a moment, "Then you should thank your second uncle."
"Well, I'm very grateful to him," the man laughed. "Every time he said my son looked like him, I never objected."
"...Haha," Xue Xu couldn't help laughing, took his hands out of his trouser pockets, and leaned back on the sofa with a relaxed look, "You are twenty-two this year?"
"Twenty-three." Chu Dai glanced at him and said, "Why, are you jealous of my youth and success?"
"That's enough. After showing off your wife, you now show off yourself. I've never seen you so shameless before."
"I haven't seen it much before, so I'll just get used to it." Chu Dai thought for a moment and said, "You must be almost thirty."
"..." Xue Xu's smile froze on his face, "Twenty-eight, five years older than you."
"Oh," Chu Dai nodded, "I didn't notice it. After all, you have a lot of twists and turns in your heart, like a veteran soldier."
"You're still holding a grudge? It was just a trick, wasn't it? I was also thinking about Shen Sui's future." At this point, he frowned and said, "I didn't have the nerve to say it in the car, but will he really not go back to sweep his father's grave in the future?"
"Yeah." Chu Dai saw that the little guy in his arms couldn't sit still, and his little butt was twisting and turning to get off. He didn't stop him, put the rice bowl on the tea table, took out a candy from his pocket, slowly peeled it and stuffed it into his mouth: "I'll trouble you to help burn incense over there in the future."
Xue Xu wanted to say something, but felt that he had no position to speak of.
Shen Sui really didn't owe A Ze anything, and his father didn't spend his allowance on him.
After a while, he asked, "What does Shen Sui mean by not wanting to acknowledge this father anymore?"
"I just want to draw a line with the past. My last name hasn't changed, has it?" Chu Dai bit into a candy bar. "You saw it today. If we hadn't walked quickly, who knows what the people on both sides would have done."
"You don't seem like someone who would care about these things," Xue Xu looked straight at him, "You should have already thought about how to send the He family to the police station and get back the remaining allowance from A Ze."
"Yes." Chu Dai did not deny it. He put his tongue against the candy and said, "Qingqing didn't want Ah Sui to think about the past anymore. She was afraid that he would be hurt again, so I stopped."
In his eyes, Shen Sui is his brother-in-law and a family member.
There's no need to open his scars again.
Besides, the He family will not have a good life in the future. He's aunt has to take care of two elderly people and several children. There is no strong labor in the family to work in the fields. It is estimated that the pension of Shen Sui's father has been almost used up.
In his view, there are only two possible outcomes.
He's aunt remarried with her sons, or left her sons in the He family and remarried herself.
Such a cruel and selfish person can do anything. Shen Sui's father's pension is still in her hands, and she may still have something to argue with the old lady of the He family.
Let's wait and see.
Xue Xu stayed here until ten o'clock, finished his cold tea, and stood up: "I want to go back."
"I'll take you there." Chu Dai nodded.
He didn't refuse.
Gu Qingqing took the two kids upstairs to watch Shen Sui do his homework. Now Tuantuan is often caught by his uncle every year to accompany him to read ancient Chinese texts.
The two little guys were able to learn a sentence or two, stammeringly.
Tuantuan and Niannian are very smart and know how to find the person who loves them the most - Grandpa.
It was no use for them to act cute and cling to each other. They were taken directly by Chief Chu to a room with a sand table and maps covering all four walls. The two little kids burst into tears as they looked at the densely packed place names.
Chu Dai turned a blind eye and Gu Qingqing enjoyed her leisure time.
After Xue Xu left, Chu Yuan saw his son return to the living room and said, "Secretary Zhou has gone to the central government."
The man paused and nodded: "There will probably be some changes down there as well."
"Your father-in-law is going to be transferred to the commune, but he doesn't want to." Chu Yuan held the enamel cup and blew hot air: "I heard that he is planning to resign."
Visiting his family always refreshes his understanding.
If others had connections with the in-laws, they would have already started to take advantage of them, but Gu's family was always cautious for fear of getting him into trouble.
Chu Dai saw through his father's thoughts and sneered, "Don't think too much. Dad didn't want to do this job a long time ago. He said that being a production team leader is too tiring. It's not for you."
Chu Yuan looked at his brat coldly and felt a little heart-attacked.
The man went up the stairs in a good mood, leaving Chu Yuan with a depressed look on his face.
Qin Zhou came out of the study, put his hands behind his back and went to the sofa to watch TV: "Don't make yourself uncomfortable at your age. If you want to get close to A-Dai, just say it directly. Don't be awkward. It's not like you at all."
"Who said I want to get close to him?" Chu Yuan denied it subconsciously, and went to the sofa with the enamel cup in hand: "After this year, Ah Sui will graduate in two years. Are you going to take him to the capital to study in high school, and then send him to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
Shen Sui was the descendant of a martyr, so it was easy for him to pass the political review of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, not to mention that he was now registered in the Chu family.
Seeing him testing him, Old Qin said gently, "Don't play tricks on me. You must have heard the rumors."
People in their position can know about any disturbance at the first sight.
"Yes," Chu Yuan stopped playing dumb, "I did hear something. They said the college entrance examination will be reinstated in the next two years."
"It's still under consideration, but it's almost certain." Old Qin smiled elegantly, "That's why I say that Ah Sui has a bright future."
Shen Sui's intelligence and talent will not be limited to one area, and will not let down his training.
Chu Yuan squinted at him and said, "Didn't you say that you would devote yourself to training Tuantuan Nian Nian? Why did you, the grandfather, just walk away and let a rough guy like me teach him?"
Qin Zhou pondered for a moment and asked him, "Have you ever thought about letting Tuantuan go to the capital to study every year?"
Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Chu Yuan was too lazy to argue with him, "Please explain it clearly."
"If Adai wants to move up, he will have to go to a military academy for further studies." Old Qin reminded him, "The best military academy is in the capital."
"People's Liberation Army Political College?" Chu Yuan frowned: "It's not cancelled..." Before he finished speaking, he came back to his senses: "Are you saying it will be restored along with the college entrance examination?"
"It will be reformed." Since there were no outsiders present, Old Qin did not hide the truth from him: "We are still discussing and formulating the rules for this matter, but it's almost done."
"The minimum requirement is to be a regimental level rank or above. Adai just meets the requirement, and he may be able to move up a level."
The military academy that Mr. Qin mentioned was established to train senior commanders, but it was cancelled in recent years due to certain force majeure.
Chu Yuan was holding the enamel cup and lost in thought. Old Qin stood up and went to the TV to turn down the volume without disturbing his thoughts.
Gu Qingqing must have gone with Chu Dai. Once the couple left, the house became empty.
But Chu Yuan didn't think about this. As the head of a military region, he would naturally put the future of his juniors first to reach his current position.
What he cares more about is the future education of his two grandsons. If Qin Zhou goes to the capital, it would be best for the two little guys to follow him.
It's not that he thinks the Nanyang Military Academy is bad, but Qin Zhou is knowledgeable and has unique insights. With his enlightenment, Tuantuan's achievements in the future will not be lower than his father's. As for whether he will surpass himself, Chu Yuan is not sure.
He came from the war years, and now the country is gradually becoming peaceful. It will not be so easy for future guys to make great achievements and climb up.
Thinking of the things his two grandsons had held during their one-year-old celebration, Chu Yuan made up his mind: "Let them go with you."
"It's too early to talk about this now," Qin Zhou shook his head and smiled, "It hasn't been decided yet, so it's useless for you to make up your mind now. Besides, Ah Sui will graduate in two or three years, and maybe you will be retired by then and can go to the capital with us."
Chu Yuan put down the enamel cup, not without pride: "I want to quit, but the country needs me, there is no other way."
Qin Zhou chuckled: "Are you trying to say that I'm stepping down as Foreign Minister because I'm old and the country doesn't need me anymore?"
"You said it yourself." Chu Yuan glanced at the TV screen: "Did the Xue family also get some news? It was a bit unusual for the Xue family kid to come to see Chu Dai today."
"I'm not sure, but the Xue family kid and Ah Sui's father were comrades in arms from the same military academy. I heard from Qingqing that they ran into each other when they went to sweep graves yesterday."
"Oh? There is this kind of relationship." Chu Yuan didn't ask any more questions, but was a little surprised.
There were not many people in the military district who dared to confront him, and Xue Bang was one of them.
A small-time teacher with a bad temper.
But he was a decent person, which he admired.
If a soldier has a problem with his moral character, he is truly hopeless.
On the third floor, under the warm desk lamp.
Shen Sui has a straight back and his handwriting on his exercise book is clear and elegant.
Gu Qingqing sat next to him and watched, flipping through an annotated foreign language book in her hand.
When Chu Dai pushed the door open and walked in, the two little balls rolling on the bed smiled brightly and enthusiastically at him at the same time, climbed up, opened their little hands and walked towards the bed——
"Daddy, hug me~"
The two brothers rushed to the man.
