Chapter 271: Very good
"Uncle!" Niannian heard the voices at the door, ran out barefoot on the wooden floor, suddenly hugged his thighs, and hit her little head on his legs.
The strength in her hands was so great that she wouldn't let go of him.
"I'm here." Shen Sui came back to his senses, bent down and picked up the little guy, looked at his growing eyes, and said softly, "How's your recitation of the Thousand Character Classic going?"
Xiao Niannian felt deflated when he heard this. He buried his head in his thin neck, rubbed it, and said in a muffled voice: "Uncle, you don't care at all whether I have grown taller or eaten more. You only care about this."
"I'm very sad. I don't want to talk to you for now. Please let me take it easy."
After Shen Sui heard what he said, he looked at his sister questioningly.
Gu Qingqing patted the boy's raised butt and said speechlessly: "He just cares about having fun. He has made many friends in the compound and never comes home all day."
Little Nian Nian didn't even blush when his mother revealed his true colors. He just hid in his uncle's arms and giggled.
Shen Sui rubbed his little face and said softly, "After the New Year, you can go to the elementary school. There will be teachers to take care of you in school. When you come back, I will ask you to recite your text."
"Ah——" Niannian cried out in pain, "Uncle, you don't love Xiaobao anymore."
"No, I love you." Shen Sui said this calmly.
Xiao Niannian blinked and said, "Then I believe my uncle."
Listening to the conversation between the uncle and nephew, Gu Qingqing shook her head: "I'm going to cook. Jiaojiao and Xiaoxingxing will be waking up soon. Please help sister make some milk powder."
"Okay, give it to me." The boy nodded in response.
Qin Zhou came back at half past six. Gu Qingqing was still busy in the kitchen. They were in a hurry today and didn't buy any food. They just had to eat whatever they had.
"Fuck daddy." Chu Dai carried his little son downstairs, holding a bottle in his hand to feed him. Little Xingxing had sleepy eyes, half closed and half awake.
Obviously he hasn't woken up yet.
"Adai." Qin Lao smiled, "Sit down and talk."
Chu Dai smiled and nodded, then sat next to him holding his son.
Qin Zhou stared at his sleepy grandson for a long time, and said with some emotion: "The last time I saw Xinglan, he couldn't walk yet."
The man smiled and nodded: "You have been in the capital for almost a year. In a little while, he will be two years old."
"I have arranged for Tuan Tuan and Niannian to go to school," Old Qin pulled a thin military green blanket from the side and gently covered the little boy's back. "They will take the exam on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Now, one needs to take an exam to advance from the Yuhong Class to the first grade, but Tuantuan and Niannian skipped the Yuhong Class and went directly to the first grade.
Thanks to Mr. Qin's relationship, they don't have to take the exam, but Chu Dai still wants to see how much the two kids have remembered of what they learned at home in the past two years. If they really can't pass, it won't be a waste for them to study in the red class.
They chatted about the kids in the living room and then talked about going to the Political Science Institute.
"I'll report the day after tomorrow. The duration of study is two and a half years, and there are accelerated courses that last one and a half years." Chu Dai frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Father, are there a lot of military officers coming to the Political Science Academy this time?"
As far as he knew, there were more than ten people from the Southern Military District, not to mention people from other war zones and major corps, not to mention the sub-war zones under the Southern Military District.
This year, both the college entrance examination and the major military academies have been very impressive.
"Quite a few," Old Qin nodded with a smile, "Many people were also transferred from the Academy of Military Science."
While they were talking, Gu Qingqing had already come out with the dishes. She greeted her godfather first, then stood at the stairs and called out, "A Sui? Gu Qinglie! Come down to eat, don't stay upstairs all the time."
"Here I come." Gu Qinglie was playing with his niece. She was very brave and proud. When you threw her into the air and then caught her, she was not afraid at all but giggled instead.
"Chirp~Fei Fei~" She fluttered her little hands, and the silver bracelet on her wrist made a crisp and pleasing sound.
"No need to fly, let's eat first." Gu Qinglie rubbed the little bun on her head and grinned: "Uncle will take you to the department store tomorrow."
He shook his head proudly: "Jiujiu, no money."
Tuantuan followed his uncle downstairs, pulling him by his coat and chiming in, "Yes, last time I wanted to eat some cakes, but you had neither money nor a ticket."
Gu Qinglie was speechless, he didn't know how to tell the two kids that it's not that he has no money, it's just that all his bills are with the girl.
Moreover, it was their mother who ordered not to buy cakes, saying that they tricked their grandfather and uncle into buying cakes every day and then refused to eat at mealtimes because she was not used to their bad habit.
"Second brother." Shen Sui held Nian Nian in his arms and stood on the stairs behind him, looking down at the back of his head: "Walk faster."
There are four dishes and one soup in the evening.
Braised eggplant, stir-fried pork with green onions, a large plate of steamed egg custard, stir-fried cabbage, and a bowl of fresh mushroom soup.
"I just strolled around casually and didn't go to the farmers' market to buy vegetables. Godfather, please eat first." Gu Qingqing handed the bowl to the man and asked him to serve rice to Old Qin.
"It looks very appetizing to me." Qin Zhou said gently.
He took the porcelain bowl from Chu Dai's hand and started to eat.
"The food here is as good as the one in the cafeteria of the Academy of Military Science." The orderly carried Tuan Tuan to a chair.
"That's good." Gu Qingqing also sat down.
Xiao Xingxing and Jiaojiao were sitting at the coffee table eating rice with egg custard. Because the TV was unplugged, Jiaojiao could only stare blankly, take a bite of rice and look at his brother.
"Brother! Let's switch~" Jiaojiao scooped a spoonful of rice from her brother's bowl and thought his tasted better.
Little Star glanced at her sideways and silently pushed her bowl over.
Jiaojiao smiled happily and ate one mouthful after another, and found that the rice in his brother's bowl tasted better.
Gu Qingqing filled two small bowls with mushroom soup and placed them on the tea table: "It's hot. Drink the soup after dinner."
The two babies nodded obediently.
Gu Qingqing's eyebrows were wrinkled.
There are four children in the family, and she has never had to worry about any of them.
Tuantuan's studies every year are supervised by his grandpa, father and uncle. Little Xingxing is quiet and doesn't make much noise. If you give him a Ruban lock, he will sit there and play all day long.
If she is proud, it will take a little more care, but usually her brothers take care of her. In the military compound, when the men come back from their mission, they take turns holding her.
After dinner, Gu Qinglie cleared the table and washed the dishes, while Old Qin went to the study to organize the materials on national defense and military affairs to be submitted to the central government.
The weather is cold here, and Chu Dai is lighting the coal stove.
There were a lot of coal briquettes piled outside the door. The orderly brought a few coal stoves and helped him make a fire.
Chu Dai took the palm-leaf fan handed to him by his wife, squatted in front of the coal stove, pointed it at the air outlet and fanned slowly, "Tuan Tuan Niannian, are you sleeping with Ah Sui tonight?"
"Yes," Gu Qingqing said casually, "Second brother said that his room doesn't need a stove, so it's not cold."
Gu Qinglie is not afraid of cold or heat and is particularly durable.
"good."
They didn't sleep for long in the afternoon. Xiao Xingxing and Jiaojiao felt sleepy after watching TV for a while after dinner. Gu Qingqing asked the man to bring the coal stove into the room and get a basin of hot water for them to clean.
"I'm really worried about catching a cold when taking a shower in this weather." Gu Qingqing unbuttoned her son's coat and hung it on the back of a chair. "We were wearing thin clothes in Nanyang two days ago, but I didn't expect that we would change into jackets today."
Chu Dai held his daughter by the fire and handed her a towel. "We need to go to the department store tomorrow to buy some thick clothes for the kids. It's too late to go to the tailor shop now."
They didn't bring many clothes when they came here, and only brought one or two thick clothes. He and Gu Qinglie were fine, because they would be given winter military uniforms when they went to the Political Science Academy. Gu Qingqing and the kids were all very afraid of the cold.
"All up to you." Gu Qingqing wrung out the towel, wiped her son's face first, and then his body.
"Are you going to take a shower later?" she asked.
"Go take a shower. You've been stuck on the train for so long that you're smelling like coal smoke. Don't you dislike the smell?" he said with a smile.
Jiaojiao leaned in her father's arms, fiddling with the longevity lock on her neck with her fingers. She listened to her father and mother's words, tilting her head back and saying, "Dad~"
"Hmm?" The man lowered his eyes and looked at her.
"I want some candy!"
Chu Dai subconsciously touched his pocket and found that the woman was looking at him. He withdrew his hand and touched his nose: "No more."
"Wuwu." The little girl kicked her legs: "Just one bite!" She just heard the sound of the candy wrapper. Her father definitely didn't want to give her candy.
There’s no way daddy doesn’t have sugar on him!
Chu Dai was somewhat softened by her, "Wife..."
Gu Qingqing sighed: "Then I have to brush my teeth later."
He nodded proudly: "Brush your teeth!"
The man pinched her chubby little face, took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket, slowly opened it under his daughter's expectant eyes, and then handed it to the woman's mouth.
Gu Qingqing took a look, opened her mouth and bit it.
Jiaojiao grabbed her father's sleeve and said anxiously: "Rabbit!" She wants to eat White Rabbit milk candy too!
"Give it to mother first." The man took another one and stuffed it into her hand. "You can't miss it."
When I unwrapped the candy wrapper and put it in my mouth, I squinted my eyes with pride and satisfaction: "It's so sweet~"
The man laughed dumbly.
Little Xingxing doesn't like sweets very much, so he doesn't ask for candy when he sees his sister eating it. Gu Qingqing is helping him put on his underwear. The man stretches out his long legs slightly and kicks the coal stove towards him.
"We're out of facial oil, and we need to buy some cooling oil." Gu Qingqing dressed her son quickly and pulled the quilt over him. "There are a lot of things to buy tomorrow. I'll make a list so I don't forget."
It's too dry here, unlike Nanyang where the air is moist.
The man agreed to all the requests and put his daughter on the bed to wash her.
"I'm going to take a shower first." He stood up and took clothes from his luggage bag.
"Okay." Gu Qingqing had no time to pay attention to him because Jiaojiao was protecting the candy with both hands and stuffing it in her mouth and refused to let go, so she couldn't take off her clothes.
"Chu Shuyue," she said angrily and amusedly, "Wipe it off before eating."
Jiaojiao's eyes, which were the same size as hers, were clear and lively. "Mom, wipe it." She reluctantly took the candy from her mouth and held it in her right hand.
"It's not that I don't allow you to eat it," Gu Qingqing saw the grievance on her face and said distressedly, "If you eat too much sugar, your teeth will grow worms, and you don't like to brush your teeth. If you brush your teeth every day, mother will definitely not say anything to you."
"Baoer, brush your teeth!" Jiao Jiao said without hesitation, his big eyes twinkling: "Twice!"
"Okay, you said so. Twice a day. If I don't see you brushing your teeth tomorrow morning, you won't be able to eat candy that often in the future."
"Okay~" she responded quickly.
Gu Qingqing couldn't do anything with her, she was too good at acting coquettishly, and when you wanted to be mean to her, she would admit her mistakes first. If you didn't give her food, she would pester you and make trouble for you.
Will use all means to achieve the goal, even if it is sometimes circuitous.
I don’t know who I learned this from.
After eating the candy, Jiaojiao obediently went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. The man had already finished taking a shower. Gu Qingqing thought about taking a shower tomorrow, so she changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed.
The man walked to the window and opened it slightly to let in some cool breeze.
The cold wind outside was blowing wildly, whistling past.
The room was warm.
The bed sank, and Gu Qingqing lay on her side to coax her daughter to sleep. Little Xingxing had already fallen asleep and fell asleep on time at nine o'clock every day.
The man hugged her waist from behind, rested his chin on the top of her head, and rubbed her hair.
"Thank you for your hard work." I accompanied him from south to north, running around everywhere.
Gu Qingqing tilted her head slightly, and her forehead hit his chin. Looking at the man's strong jawline, she suddenly smiled.
Jiaojiao had already fallen asleep, so she simply turned over and nestled into the man's arms, face to face with him.
She said in a normal tone, "We are wherever you are, I don't think it's hard."
Her hand slid along the hem of his clothes, touched the irritating scar on his waist, and slid down silently.
"I..." Chu Dai was about to say something, but suddenly froze.
The woman looked up and asked innocently, "What's wrong with you?"
"No." The man narrowed his eyes and looked at her, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, his eyes dark and unclear.
After a while, he chuckled and said, "It's fine."
