Chapter 172 He tends to wet the bed at night
It took half an hour to get from the pier to the military area. Guard Xiao Xu put all the luggage in the trunk, waited for them to get in the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove steadily on the wide avenue.
The pier where they docked was a military pier within the Southern Military Region, and the civilian pier was on the other side.
The naval fleet docked on time to replenish supplies. The Nan Yang infantry landing craft with a displacement of 338 tons just parked in front of the supply ship.
Chu Yuan's eyes were all on his eldest grandson in his arms. Maybe it was because they were related by blood, Tuantuan lay on him without crying at all. His little face kept rubbing against his grandfather's cheek, and then he grinned, revealing four small front teeth that looked like white glutinous rice.
The heart of the tough man of his life had long been melted. He didn't care at all that his son and daughter-in-law were still around. He was not as reserved as before and kept calling them "my amazing family".
Chu Zhan, who was sitting next to him, was not in a much better condition. He held Xiao Niannian in his arms and was reluctant to let go.
He even thought about going back to bring Chu Zhao back and get married as soon as possible. He also wanted to have a grandson.
Xiao Xu was driving the military district commander's special car. Because the Southern Military District was the general war zone, just in case, he rolled down the window and gave his pass to the sentry for inspection when entering the military district.
The car drove into the Southern Military District and stopped at the gate of the military district compound.
The two old people got out of the car first, holding the children. Chu Dai and Shen Sui went to the trunk to get their luggage. Gu Qingqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, yawned and was about to get out of the car. She glanced around and saw a straight figure standing in the shadow in front of the car.
She suddenly lost her sleepiness, opened the car door, and shouted in surprise, "Brother?!"
She strode over and threw herself into the man's arms.
Gu Canyang caught her steadily, looked her over with his cold eyes for a moment, and then revealed a hint of a smile, "That's great."
Just come back.
Gu Qingqing lay on her brother's warm chest, feeling a little aggrieved: "I haven't seen you for almost two years, and you didn't even come to the island to see me. You insisted that I come back to see you. Even Goudan is better than you."
"Well, it's brother's fault." Gu Canyang ruffled the hair of his sister in his arms, his voice clear.
Chu Dai came over with his luggage, and seeing that he looked okay, he felt relieved: "Brother."
Gu Canyang hummed and his eyes fell on the boy next to him.
After Gu Qingqing decided to adopt Shen Sui and transfer his household registration over, she immediately sent a telegram to her family and her two brothers, and Gu Canyang also knew his background.
"Big brother." The boy greeted him neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Gu Canyang nodded slightly.
"It's cold outside, let's go home first." Chu Yuan came over with his eldest grandson in his arms, "Canyang, you come too, and we'll go back to the Air Force Region later."
Gu Canyang originally came here to see the girl and then leave as he had a mission tomorrow, but when he saw the soft little girl in his arms, he nodded and followed her into the family compound.
When they reached the last white building, Gu Qingqing took a look and then whispered to the man next to her, "It seems a little different from before."
Chu Dai had already noticed it. He glanced at the man who was coaxing his grandson and said casually, "An extra layer was added. It should be the work of Commander Chu."
"Oh, I was wondering why it felt different from before."
Chu Zhan said with a smile: "With A-Dai's level, he can apply for a family building when he returns. Your father couldn't bear to leave his two grandsons, so he added a floor. This way, there is enough room for them to live in."
Chu Yuan frowned and corrected him: "I just don't want to waste the military resources."
"Yes, whatever the commander says is right." Chu Zhan was too lazy to expose him, lest this man lend his group army's treasure to the field army tank army and the like under the guise of exchanging combat experience.
After entering the house, Chu Dai and his friends went upstairs to put their things first. There were two bedrooms, a study and a living room on the second floor. He put the luggage on the bedroom floor and took Shen Sui to the third floor to take a look.
I have to say that Chu Yuan is very reliable in this matter. There are three bedrooms and a study on the third floor. Compared with the second floor, there is one less living room, but there is also a balcony.
He asked Shen Sui: "Where do you want to live?"
Shen Sui thought that his two nephews would live alone upstairs in the future, so he said without hesitation: "Third floor."
"Okay, choose a room and put your things in place. The study is yours now." Chu Dai didn't say anything more and let him put his things away by himself.
Chu Yuan was afraid that they had nothing to eat on the boat, so he asked Xiao Xu to go to the cafeteria to bring back some food, which was still hot when he opened the thermos box.
"Qingqing, let's eat first and don't bother with these things." Chu Yuan said to Gu Qingqing who was rummaging through the luggage bag.
"I'll be right there, Dad. I'll make some milk powder for Tuantuan and Niannian first. The two brothers have been making a fuss on the boat for the whole afternoon. They should fall asleep after drinking the milk." Gu Qingqing squatted down to find the milk bottle, and went to the kitchen with the milk powder bag.
"Old Chu, it's getting late. You and your family are reunited. I have to go back first." Chu Zhan put Xiao Niannian in his arms into Gu Canyang's hands and said, "Go back and rest early."
Gu Canyang nodded. Because of the relationship with Gu Qingqing, he and the Air Force Group Commander Chu Zhan privately addressed each other as uncle and nephew. There were not so many details. In addition, Chu Zhan really liked this young man. If he hadn't had a daughter-in-law at home... Alas.
If that brat Chu Zhao was a concubine, maybe she could bring him a son-in-law as outstanding as Gu Canyang.
Xiao Niannian felt a little sleepy and fell on his uncle's shoulder with sleepy eyes. When he moved, the longevity lock with a bell on his neck jingled.
Gu Canyang's expression softened. He held up his soft little butt with his right hand and protected his back with his left hand.
Chu Dai and Shen Sui came down one after another. He helped Gu Qingqing to make two bottles of milk powder, and walked to his father with the warm bottles.
He passed it over and Xiao Tuantuan immediately held her in his arms. Chu Yuan looked at his eldest grandson with extremely loving eyes, but after his eyes fell on his own son, he quickly moved away, not wanting to take another look.
Chu Dai sneered and strode away.
While eating, Gu Qingqing thought for a moment and said to Chu Yuan, "Father, Adai said he has five days off. I want to bring Tuantuan and Niannian home to see my father and mother. Do you think it's okay?"
Chu Yuan glanced at Chu Dai and nodded: "Of course, you can have a good rest tonight. I will ask Xiao Xu to take you to the train station tomorrow morning. You should be able to go back for lunch in time."
Gu Qingqing nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with joy: "Thank you, Dad."
"It's my duty. Please ask my uncle-in-law and your parents for me." Chu Yuan held his eldest grandson in his arms, thinking that he should prepare some things early tomorrow for them to take back.
It's not appropriate for a daughter-in-law to return to her parents' home empty-handed.
After dinner, Gu Canyang was about to return to the camp, so Gu Qingqing sent him to the gate: "Brother, tell me the truth, was my second brother injured last time?"
The man held his little nephew in his arms and tilted his head to look at his sister, whose face was mellow and eyes were clear. He nodded calmly, "It's not a serious injury. It has been repaired."
The two brothers kept in touch, although it was mostly Gu Qinglie who kept on talking and sending long telegrams.
Gu Qingqing sighed, leaned on his arm and teased his son: "You always hide things from me."
Gu Canyang listened to her mumbling and complaining for a while, then handed her the sleepy little Niannian in his arms and said, "I will come here often, and I won't be able to hide anything from you in the future."
"You said so. When the two kids grow up a little bit, I will take them to the aircrew stove every day to eat! I will eat up all your allowance."
"Yeah." Gu Canyang chuckled, "Then hold on tight."
The man's figure gradually walked away at the intersection. Gu Qingqing carried Xiao Niannian back to the house and whispered, "Are you sleepy, Xiaobao? Let's go home and go to sleep."
Chu Dai was still slowly clearing the table. Seeing Chu Yuan staring at his eldest grandson, he asked casually, "Are there any vacancies in the army?"
The veteran who was playing with his fingers with his grandson suddenly looked up, a gleam of light flashed across his tiger eyes, and his eyes suddenly narrowed: "You want to transfer to logistics?"
Hearing the pressure and hidden anger in his words, the man said in a neutral tone, "In your eyes, I went through so much trouble to transfer back from the island just for a clerical job?"
The storm hidden in Chu Yuan's eyes suddenly dissipated. He did not respond to this sentence, but said: "There are many vacant positions. After all, only a few people have received education. There are many vacancies for clerical positions. The military region has 24 canteens, and the quartermaster also needs an assistant who can calculate."
After hearing this, Chu Dai nodded, "I understand."
The father and son understood each other tacitly and knew that he was trying to get someone in.
Nowadays, there are many people who rely on connections, but no matter what, you still have to have the ability yourself, otherwise you won’t be able to gain a foothold anywhere, especially in a military region where strength is more important.
If you can walk, you can go ahead, and if you can't walk, follow others.
Chu Dai's original intention was to bring Gu's cousins along. They were all high school graduates and would definitely be able to take on clerical jobs, so Qingqing wouldn't be too lonely here.
Gu Canyang has to train for missions every day and doesn't have much time to spend with her.
To be honest, apart from her childhood friend Chu Zhao and security guard Xiao Xu, she has almost no friends here.
After cleaning the table, Gu Qingqing also came in. Xiao Niannian had fallen asleep on top of her. Seeing that the father and son were silent, she broke the silence: "Where's Ah Sui?"
"I told him to wash up and go to bed early, as he has to get up early tomorrow morning to go back to Yancheng." Chu Dai went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and came out with a clean thermal box and put it on the table, asking Xiao Xu to take it to the cafeteria tomorrow.
"Oh." Seeing little Tuantuan clinging to his grandfather, Gu Qingqing's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Dad, can you sleep with Tuantuan tonight?"
Chu Yuan was obviously stunned and was unable to react.
It was the first time Chu Dai saw his father at such a loss, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes. If there was no camera at home, he would have taken a picture and put it in the most conspicuous place in the living room, and laughed at him with the uncles and aunts who came and went.
"Dad?" Gu Qingqing called again.
Chu Yuan was reluctant to let go of his eldest grandson while holding him in his arms. He naturally wanted to do that, but he had never taken care of a child before, and Chu Dai hardly touched his hands when he was a child.
The war was intense at that time, and he could only stay at home for ten days or so in a year.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Tuan Tuan, is there anything I should pay attention to when I sleep at night?" This meant that he wanted to sleep with his eldest grandson.
Chu Dai smiled as he slowly took the sleeping Nian Nian from his wife's hands and said jokingly, "He tends to wet the bed at night."
