Chapter 240 No, I'm just kidding you
"How can I be so delicate..." Gu Qingqing muttered, "They just let you do what you want. Your skin is too white, and it will be especially obvious if you bump into it." Looking at the red marks on his chin caused by her rubbing, she felt a little guilty.
"Well, follow my lead." The man did not object.
Her hand dropped down and accidentally touched the man's trouser pocket. She exclaimed "eh" and took out a cigarette box.
"It was given to me by Lao Yu. I didn't smoke it."
"I know. I was there when I gave it to you." Gu Qingqing looked at the box of Daqianmen cigarettes. "This kind of cigarettes is quite expensive, right? Uncle Yu really misses you. He is always stingy, but this time when we came, he bought cigarettes and asked Aunt Yu to buy ribs and meat."
"It's OK, 35 cents a pack, you need cigarette coupons. Food is expensive here, the budget is tight, and every day there are four or five thousand people waiting for food, so it's inevitable that we have to be a little frugal." Chu Dai asked her, "Are you going back the day after tomorrow?"
"Well, let's go to the train station the night after tomorrow. You and Ah Sui only have one week off." Gu Qingqing stuffed the cigarette box into his trouser pocket again: "Actually, you can smoke. I don't mind."
The man stared at her face for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "I know you never asked me to quit smoking, but you seem to like the smell of candy on me."
"Yes," Gu Qingqing moved closer to him and took a deep breath, "It smells sweet and good."
"If I smoke, the smell will be covered up," the man put his finger on her forehead and said with a smile, "In order to get you closer to me, I'd better not smoke."
The man's fingertips were slightly cool, pressing against her brow.
Her moist almond eyes stared at him in astonishment. Gu Qingqing grabbed his hand and took it down angrily: "You are seducing me."
"No, I'm just trying to coax you." Chu Dai leaned over and kissed her forehead: "If you think it's okay, follow this standard in the future."
Gu Qingqing's slender fingers grasped the man's big palm. His fingers were very beautiful, with distinct joints and as slender as bamboo. Her delicate skin touched the thin web of the man's fingertips.
She found that this man rarely showed bad emotions in front of her, and he always endured it silently.
"Brother." After thinking for a long time, she said, "If you feel sad and want to vent in the future, tell me."
"Hmm?" Chu Dai raised his eyebrows slightly.
Obviously he didn't understand why she suddenly said this.
"I'm just trying to comfort you." she said seriously.
"Heh..." The man really laughed. He took her hand and clasped it tightly in his palm: "Then I'm not that worried." He left the negative emotions to his family to digest.
He knew that his daughter-in-law loved him.
He also felt sorry for her, taking care of two little ones at home alone. Although Tuantuan and Niannian were not particularly noisy children, they were boys after all, they liked to run and jump, and they were very strong.
When they were around, it took two people to keep an eye on the kids, not to mention that she was alone at home during the day.
So the first thing he and Shen Sui did when they got home was to take the two kids away separately to give her some time to catch her breath and rest.
Gu Qingqing leaned forward, lying in his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "I have never thought you are a fool. You are a human being, and it is normal for you to be angry."
The man's eyes were dark, and he kept his lips on her forehead without saying a word.
"Brother?" Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, the woman looked up in confusion.
"Yeah." The man's Adam's apple rolled, he lowered his eyes to look at her, and smiled silently: "It's hard."
“…”
Gu Qingqing pushed him away, touched the man's watch from the pillow, took his hand and put it on him: "Look at the time, it's time to go to the cafeteria for dinner."
Thinking of something, she glanced at the man from top to bottom and said, "You'd better go later. It won't have a good impact."
Then he stood up and went to the door.
"Bang——" was the sound of the door closing.
Chu Dai looked at the silver watch on his wrist, then leaned back on the head of the bed, lowered his eyes to glance between his legs, and chuckled.
Xiaotu and Xiaoxu have returned from school. Their mother said their elder sister is here, so they have been waiting outside the door.
Gu Qingqing pushed the door open and saw the brother and sister. She exclaimed in surprise, "Little rabbit! Xiaoxu."
Yutu is still the same as before, with a red face like an apple, and his teeth are no longer sparse and leaky, but neat and tidy.
Xiaoxu, who was wearing open-crotch pants, has also grown up and now reaches his sister's waist.
"Sister~" Yu Tu rushed over and hugged Gu Qingqing: "Why did you take so long to come see me?"
"I'm sorry, I should have come to see Xiaotu earlier." Gu Qingqing ruffled her soft hair, "Just got out of school?"
"School is over at four o'clock. Mom said you were too tired from the ride and you were resting, so she asked me not to wake you up." Yutu smiled with narrowed eyes: "Sister, you brought a lot of candy! And the colorful fruit candies I like. There is a kid in our class who collected a thick stack of candy wrappers. Many people envy her."
"Candy wrappers?" Gu Qingqing had never thought of collecting this. She didn't eat much candy when she was a child. At most, she ate some white sugar and rock sugar. She would also secretly open the brown paper buns given to relatives during the Chinese New Year to taste a little.
Chu Dai happened to walk out at this time. Gu Qingqing's eyes subconsciously moved down along his waistline, and the man gave her a warning look.
She then came back to her senses and remembered that there were two children in front of her.
"Well," she said, changing the subject: "Where are the wrappers of the candies you used to eat?"
"Throw it away." The man asked, "What happened?"
"It's okay. Xiaotu said that there are kids in her class collecting candy wrappers." Gu Qingqing ruffled the little girl's hair again: "Next time I see some nice candy, I'll buy it and send it to you, okay?"
"Okay! Thank you, sister~"
Xiao Xu also said crisply: "Thank you, sister!"
Gu Qingqing narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Sun Shufen came out of the room next door and pushed aside the two children who were clinging to Gu Qingqing. "Didn't I tell you to play by yourselves and not disturb your elder sister and elder brother? Why are you so clingy?"
The little rabbit hid behind her sister and stuck out her tongue at her mother.
"This little girl..." Sun Shufen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at Chu Dai next to her and said, "Lao Yu told you to go to the cafeteria to eat directly after you wake up. He called Director Zhang and Lao Zhu."
"Okay," the man nodded, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going?"
"We'll eat at home. We still have vegetables. It would be a waste if we don't finish them. They will go bad overnight." Sun Shufen pulled the little rabbit from behind Gu Qingqing and said, "You two took away half of the candy your sister brought. Why did you put so much in your pocket? In this weather, it will melt if you keep it in your pocket for too long."
After she finished training the siblings, she thought of something else: "Oh, by the way, Tuan Tuan and Niannian were taken to the military camp by their uncle. Qing Lie said he wanted to show them the tanks. They are probably still in the camp right now."
"Can we take them to the camp?" Gu Qingqing tilted her head and asked the man next to her.
"It's OK as long as it's not a military restricted area." Chu Dai said to Sun Shufen, "Sister-in-law, let's go first."
"Yeah! Okay."
On the way to the cafeteria, I happened to meet Gu Qinglie and his friends. Tuantuan and Niannian had just finished watching the tanks and were dancing excitedly in their uncle's arms. When they saw their parents, they excitedly gestured to them -
"Big car! Bang~"
Chu Dai pinched his son's face and said, "Did you go crazy playing with him? Are you not hungry anymore?"
Xiao Niannian blinked and said, "Hungry!"
"If you're hungry, go eat." Chu Dai reached out and took his son from his second uncle's arms: "Your uncle is injured, and you don't know how to feel sorry for him."
"It's not a big deal." Gu Qinglie scratched his head: "Lao Yu told us to go to the cafeteria later, and after the comrades have finished their meal, he will prepare a small stove for us, and he will pay for the expenses."
"Then let's walk around outside first." Chu Dai held his son's little butt with one hand and asked him, "Where's your uncle?"
Xiao Niannian tilted his head and looked around: "Chirp~"
"He was here just now. Did he go to the restroom?" Gu Qinglie was not polite. He took a candy from the man's coat pocket, peeled it open and stuffed it into his mouth: "This kid is too weak. I will take him for a morning run every morning when I go to the military region."
"He grew up in the south, so it's inevitable that he's a little uncomfortable riding such a long distance for the first time." Gu Qingqing explained for him, and then said, "Who is like you, full of energy and energy every day?"
"So you still have to join the army, otherwise you will be too weak." Gu Qinglie chewed the candy and used his brother and brother-in-law as examples: "Look at the eldest brother and Lao Chu, they are also very thin and look like they can be blown down by a gust of wind. Their physical fitness is not worse than mine."
Gu Qingqing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, "In half an hour, the soldiers will have finished eating, right?"
"Almost." Chu Dai glanced at his watch and asked his son, "Are you thirsty? I haven't seen you drinking much water today."
Xiao Niannian licked his lips and said, "Drink some water~"
"You just remembered to drink water now." The man laughed: "Let's go back to the military compound first. It's cool and windy in the evening, and there's a lot of sand." Looking at the woman's thin long sleeves, he said: "Go back and put on more clothes."
Gu Canyang didn't say a word the whole time. The little girl lying on his shoulder was pulling the longevity lock around her neck with her little hands, shaking it, and the silver bells were jingling.
The little boy's eyes curved into crescents as he smiled.
Chu Dai walked in front and turned back to the military compound, while Gu Canyang followed behind at a leisurely pace.
Gu Qinglie fell back half a step, pulled the girl's arm, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "What's wrong with Gousheng?"
"How should I know?" Gu Qingqing asked suspiciously, "Did you say something wrong again?"
"How could that be possible?" Gu Qinglie thought carefully and said, "Really not. I just took Tuantuan to see the tanks every year. He didn't seem to say much since he came to the Corps."
Gu Qingqing thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Brother must be worried about you, guarding the border in such a harsh environment."
Gu Qinglie grinned, revealing his two fangs: "Really?" He raised his head subconsciously, and his arm moved the wound on his abdomen, and he hissed.
"Does it hurt?" Gu Qingqing rolled up the hem of his army green shirt and took a look. The bandage didn't bleed, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Can you move a little more gently? It would be troublesome if the wound burst open!"
"I know, I'll pay attention next time."
While the brother and sister were talking, they unknowingly walked to the gate of the military compound. A military wife who had just returned from the cafeteria saw them and greeted them with a smile: "Captain Gu, this is your sister, right? Is she here to visit relatives?"
"Hey, it's my sister! Come and take me home." Gu Qinglie grinned with his big white teeth and smiled brilliantly.
