In the yard, the two little ones obediently quieted down when they saw the old man making a phone call, without making a fuss.
However, not making a fuss doesn't necessarily mean that things are truly peaceful.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, Brother Xiao Jiu..."
"Shh, if Great-Grandpa calls again, let's not talk."
Forehead?
The little dumpling pouted and said, "Brother Xiao Jiu, I want to go listen to Great-Grandpa's phone call."
"ah?"
Xiao Jiu was surprised. What was so interesting about her great-grandfather talking on the phone?
Before Xiao Jiu could answer, the little dumpling had already trotted over on its short legs and finally jumped straight into the old man's arms.
"Hey, my little darling, your great-grandfather's old bones can't take this much bumping!"
On the other end of the phone, upon hearing his grandson's voice, Gu Beiwang's somber expression immediately brightened.
"Dad, is Tuanzi with you?"
The old man held the phone in one hand and his mischievous great-grandson in his arms with the other.
"Yes, I'm here." With that, the old man placed the phone to the little boy's ear.
"Say hello to your grandfather."
The little dumpling was quite at ease, excitedly shouting into the phone:
"Grandpa Commander, Grandpa Commander, Happy New Year! Tuanzi wishes Grandpa Commander a Happy New Year~~~"
Only in front of his own grandson could Commander Gu truly relax.
"Okay, okay, Grandpa Commander has prepared New Year's gifts for our Tuanzi. They will be delivered in a few days."
Gift?
"Grandpa Commander, what gift is it?" the little guy asked curiously.
"Yes, it'll be a secret for now, a surprise."
The little boy already understood the meaning of the word "surprise": "Wow, really? Is there really a surprise?"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Beiwang laughed out loud, startling the guard who came in to inform his army commander that a meeting was about to start.
"Of course it's true. When has Grandpa Commander ever lied to you?"
"Hehe, Tuanzi knows, Grandpa Commander would never lie to Tuanzi, Tuanzi doesn't have any money!"
Forehead?
Indeed, adults often can't keep up with children's thought processes.
Commander Gu also paused for a moment:
"Hey, who said we Tuanzi don't have money?"
How could the great-grandson of the Gu family be poor?
The little guy's current net worth is more than his parents' combined net worth.
"Grandpa Commander, Tuanzi really doesn't have any money!"
Commander Gu couldn't stand hearing his own grandson complaining about being poor.
"Sweetie, there's a New Year's red envelope that Grandpa Commander prepared for Tuanzi in the surprise. Tuanzi can open it herself, okay?"
Um?
Upon hearing this, the little dumpling's mouth broke into a wide smile:
"good!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he answered.
In the military region office, the guard waited until his commander and his grandson had finished their conversation before interrupting:
"Commander, everyone has arrived."
Gu Beiwang nodded, then spoke into the phone:
"Little dumpling, Grandpa Commander has to go to a meeting, we'll talk again next time."
The little boy was clearly reluctant to leave: "Grandpa Commander, it's New Year's Day today, why do we still have to have a meeting?" he asked.
"Because Grandpa Commander has to be responsible for many people!"
The higher the official rank, the greater the power, and the more responsibilities one bears... However, Gu Beiwang did not tell these words to the villain.
The little guy is still too young; it's better not to let him know these things.
Although I didn't quite understand what that sentence meant, I knew that Grandpa Commander was really busy:
"Grandpa Commander, you need to take care of yourself. Hmm... and remember Tuanzi, because Tuanzi will miss you too."
Commander Gu readily accepted this request: "Okay, okay, okay."
