A body of solid muscles and endless energy?
A strong smell of abstinence?
Seeing this, Chen Yao smiled and licked her lips, her eyes flickering again and again, before continuing to read.
In the past month, Gu Lin has been staying in Shiwan Battalion. The main reason is that he brought some soldiers from the battalion to Shiwan Battalion to support a project to build a large canal.
Shiwan Brigade and several nearby brigades plant a lot of crops every year, so the demand for water is also very high.
Due to the backward irrigation conditions and the inconvenience of large-scale water extraction, coupled with the particularly dry climate this year, water extraction has become increasingly difficult, so the construction of a large canal is imminent.
Building a large canal will not only benefit the Shiwan Brigade, but also several other nearby brigades. Therefore, the county attaches great importance to it and specially arranged several canal construction experts to lead everyone to build a large canal to control water and prevent drought.
At this critical moment, it happened to be the time when rice needed to be harvested early. The villagers had no choice but to put aside the work of digging canals and focus on harvesting rice.
As a result, the construction of the canal had to be postponed.
But the experts were unhappy. The progress was already slow, and if it was delayed further, who knew what troubles would arise.
So they directly contacted the county leaders who arranged them here and asked them if there was any way they could help solve the problem, such as providing them with some strong labor.
Just like that, Gu Lin, who had just finished leading the team to complete a mission and was preparing to rest for a few days, was pulled to Shiwan Brigade for emergency assistance by a friend who was a county leader.
Because the Shiwan Battalion happened to be one of Gu Lin's soldiers, and it was also the hometown of Chen Yao's brother Chen Che, Gu Lin did not forget to take him along.
Shen Che was very happy that Captain Gu could actually remember where his hometown brigade was, and immediately packed his luggage and followed happily.
After returning home, he excitedly explained to his father, Shen Zhishan, the captain of the Shiwan Brigade, the reason for his return home, and repeatedly mentioned the good things about Battalion Commander Gu Lin. Shen Zhishan changed his mind and arranged for Gu Lin to live in their home.
He thought that he could take this opportunity to take better care of Gu Lin during this period so that Gu Lin could have a better impression of their Xiao Che.
After he made this arrangement, the smart people in the village naturally figured out some of the tricks, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After all, they came from afar and worked hard to support the team's project. As the team leader, it is only right for Shen Zhishan to take the initiative to entertain the team leaders.
What's more, the empty houses in the team have been filled with educated youth and expert teams, and there is no extra space for their supporters to live in, so they can only let them stay in the villagers' homes.
From this perspective, the leader of the support team lives in Shen Zhishan's home, and the arrangement is also reasonable.
In this way, Gu Lin lived in the Shen family, next to Shen Che's house.
Today is his third day at Shiwan Brigade.
The story ends here.
Chen Yao nodded to the system, indicating that it could restore the scene of the small world.
"Ding, the small world scene has been restored."
…
Chen Yao put on her shoes and got out of bed. She walked around the room, then stopped by the wooden table, picked up the small round mirror that was full of modern style, and looked at her face.
Her fair skin and shiny black hair are still there, and have not changed because of the setting of the small world. She is dressed well. Except for the fact that the small world changed her clothes and made her hungry at the beginning to connect the plot, the rest has not been moved.
Chen Yao thought for a moment, put the mirror back, then picked up the comb beside her, combed her hair, and braided it into a pigtail that suited the style of the era.
Just as I finished writing it, there was a knock on the door.
"Yaoyao, are you awake? Are you hungry? Mom cooked an egg for you and heated up some sweet potato porridge. Open the door and I'll bring it to you." The woman's gentle and caring voice sounded outside the door.
Chen Yao stood up from her chair and responded, "Mom, I'll be right there."
As soon as she opened the door, a pair of warm hands touched Chen Yao's forehead.
"It's not hot to the touch, it's good."
Xu Huilan withdrew her hand, walked into the house, put the bowl in her hand on the wooden table, and asked Chen Yao to eat something first.
Chen Yao looked at the hot sweet potato porridge on the table and the peeled white and tender eggs on top of the porridge, and her heart warmed.
Xu Huilan stood beside Shen Yao and asked her when she woke up and if she still felt dizzy.
After swallowing the sweet potato porridge in her mouth, Chen Yao said, "I just woke up not long ago, and now I'm not dizzy anymore."
Xu Huilan nodded reassuringly, then glanced at the sun outside and said worriedly, "This year is much hotter than previous years. It's really scorching hot. You eat first. I'll go pick some vegetables and continue cooking. Your father and brother will be back soon."
Chen Yao: "Well, I'll help you after I finish eating."
Xu Huilan smiled, patted her head, and said, "Cooking doesn't take much effort. I can do it myself. You've just finished, so take a good rest first."
After saying that, she walked out and considerately closed the door for Chen Yao.
After Chen Yao finished eating the food in the bowl, she took the dishes out of the room and took them to the yard to wash.
While she was washing dishes, Shen Che and Gu Lin happened to walk into the yard.
As soon as Shen Che saw Shen Yao, he walked over quickly and asked with concern: “Sister, are you feeling better?”
Shen Yao raised her head, looked at Shen Che, and said softly: "Brother, I am much better now."
Gu Lin was a few steps slower than Chen Che. When he passed by Chen Yao, he didn't stop at all and walked straight past.
After Shen Che confirmed that his sister was fine, he smiled and followed Gu Lin.
Chen Yao stood up with the washed dishes and squinted at their backs.
When lunch was ready, Shen Zhishan finally came back.
Xu Huilan was serving the dishes, Chen Yao was setting the table, and Chen Che was serving the rice.
Shen Zhishan went to wash his hands before walking in. He first asked about Chen Yao's situation, and then asked why Captain Gu was not there.
Shen Che, who was serving the rice, pointed to the neatly stacked piles of firewood in the corner of the kitchen and replied, "Dad, Captain Gu took a shower after chopping wood and will be here soon."
Shen Zhishan nodded and said nothing more.
Since moving in, Gu Lin not only provided their family with food, but also took the initiative to do some work from time to time. He really didn't put on airs at all and was much more humble than he had imagined. No wonder his son always talked about how good Captain Gu was.
After a while, Gu Lin appeared.
His body was slightly damp from having just taken a shower, as well as a pleasant and refreshing scent.
Chen Yao's nose twitched slightly, and she glanced at him casually, then quickly looked away.
