How could Gu Beiwang possibly admit it?
"Go ahead and do your work. Have you finished the training plan after the new year?"
The adjutant's lips visibly curled into a sneer, his tone clearly sarcastic: "Alright, I'm off to get busy."
The expression on Commander Gu's face showed that he wished the adjutant in front of him would disappear immediately.
On his way over, Gao Dan happened to run into his adjutant, and the two exchanged a few words. This made Commander Gu on the other side very anxious.
It seems the adjutant has too little to do; he even has time to chat!
puff...
Even if you're busy, you can always find time to say hello, right?
Commander, this is just too much...***.
Fortunately, although the adjutant was unaware that his duties would become increasingly demanding, he knew that the army commander was waiting for him.
"Xiao Dan, you have a good chat with the commander. I'll go and get back to work."
"good!"
The adjutant had truly left, and Gao Dan then walked towards Gu Beiwang:
"I'm going back to S Province tomorrow. Is there anything you want to bring for Grandpa?"
"Yes, the old man's wristbands, knee pads, and thermal clothing have been issued. Take them to the old man. I asked the higher-ups for a few extra sets. Take them to Yingying's father and mother."
The winter gear in the military is far superior to what you can get outside.
In places like the South, it's extremely damp and cold, and there's no central heating, so you have to prepare more and better winter gear, otherwise, this winter will be tough.
Especially the upcoming cold snap, which will be even colder than before!
"Hmm." Gao Dan responded faintly, which was taken as an agreement.
Suddenly, the father and son's conversation came to a brief end, and neither of them uttered a sound.
The main problem is that I don't know what to say. The relationship between the father and son is not like that of an ordinary father and son. The atmosphere is really awkward.
After a while, the soldiers who had been training had blown their whistles to take a break. Over here, Gao Dan moved the corners of his lips and spoke:
"Is there anything else?" I asked.
Commander Gu shook his head, straining his neck: "No, there's more!"
Um?
“Ahem, it’s the New Year, so when you go back to your father-in-law’s house, you can’t forget to bring the things you should bring. There are still a few bottles of good wine at home. I’ll have the guard go back and get them for you later. I remember there are still a few century-old ginseng roots in your grandfather’s storeroom. Anyway, your grandfather used quite a lot of them. You can take them to your mother-in-law.”
cough!
Now, the person who was coughing got to redeem it.
"No need, I've prepared everything I need to," Gao Dan refused.
Gu Beiwang replied, "You can keep your preparations, but I can't just leave without giving anything in return for the New Year. What will people think of me?"
Commander Gu understood this basic social etiquette very well.
Gao Dan glanced at the man in front of him and said, "You...no need, Grandpa has already made the preparations."
Indeed, the old man prepared far more than just a little; it was almost a whole truckload of things.
"No, that belongs to your grandfather."
Commander Gu was determined to get it done; he insisted on delivering it himself.
I am the boy's biological father. What father wouldn't send New Year's gifts to his in-laws?
"what ever."
"Okay, it's decided then. I'll have someone prepare right away. Guards? Guards?"
The guard, who was sparring with a group of soldiers not far away, immediately stopped when he heard Gu Beiwang's voice and ran over.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"Go and fetch the adjutant. Tell him to hurry up and stop dawdling."
"yes!"
The guard ran away in a swift motion.
Over here, Commander Gu's face was beaming with undisguised joy; anyone could tell he was very happy today!
