Gu Zhenqi's words did not get an immediate response from Chen Kuo, and the two of them fell into silence. Just as she was about to speak and wanted to say that she was going to sleep first.
He suddenly stood up, faced her, stood very straight, and gave her a standard military salute.
"Comrade Gu Zhenqi, you have worked hard!"
Chen Kuo's expression was solemn and his voice was dignified and sonorous.
The magnificent scenes of the National Day broadcast on TV decades later suddenly emerged in her mind.
Thinking of this, she wondered whether she should reply: "It's not hard, serving the people's hearts!"
When she finally opened her mouth, what she said was: "It's not hard!" She even consciously omitted the second half of the sentence.
She thought that was the end of it, but Chen Kuo bowed to her again the next second and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Gu Zhenqi! You have to endure so many rumors because of me!"
Although he has been in the military camp for many years, he is quite aware of the destructive power of rumors in this era.
People with weaker willpower can easily become overwhelmed by the pressure and commit suicide...
Gu Zhenqi felt that she was unworthy of Chen Kuo's "I'm sorry", no matter in her past life or in this life!
It was precisely because of this word "I'm sorry" that a wave of turmoil was stirred in her heart for a moment.
After her emotions finally calmed down, she slowly spoke again: "What is our relationship?"
Her sudden question made Chen Kuo stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses: "Husband and wife!"
It was actually quite difficult for him to utter these two unfamiliar words.
"Since we are husband and wife, there is no need to thank or apologize. As the saying goes: Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog! Since I married you, I should accept all this. Chen Kuo, are you coming back this time to spend the rest of your life with me? If not, then we will..."
Gu Zhenqi felt it was very necessary to make things clear straight to the point!
If not, she could accept it, but there would be no need for the two of them to sleep in the same room!
"Yes, I do! I owe you and the children so much, and I will make it up to you!"
Just now, for a moment, Chen Kuo was very afraid that she would say something next, words that he could not accept, so he interrupted her in a hurry.
"There's no need to make amends. In the past few years, I haven't done much better than you. People always look forward. If you don't have any other thoughts, let's try to live a good life from now on. If we can't get along by then, then..."
"Okay, no problem. I have applied for a long vacation this time. Are you willing to go with me to join the army in the future?" Chen Kuo asked nervously.
She had already planned to do this, and when he took the initiative to propose it, she immediately replied: "Sure!"
After receiving a positive reply, Chen Kuo smiled instantly: "Okay, that's great. However, as for the family housing, I have already applied for it and the superiors have approved it. It's just that it's the New Year and I haven't received it yet. I may have to wait a while!"
"Yes, sure!"
Gu Zhenqi didn't mind waiting a little longer. Anyway, there were still a few months before the policy opened up to individual business operations. Now she just wanted to focus on raising the cubs. As long as there was space, it didn't matter where to raise them!
"If you have anything else to say, let's talk tomorrow!"
She really couldn't bear to see the haggard look on such a tough guy's face, with two big dark circles under his eyes, which was really unsightly.
"Please wait a moment!"
After Chen Kuo finished speaking, he turned around and opened the large package he had brought back, and placed everything inside on the table.
Gu Zhenqi didn't pay special attention to what he took out. She just sat quietly by the side, waiting for him to finish tinkering with it.
Probably less than ten minutes later, Chen Kuo took out two packages, one large and one small. He looked a little unnatural, and his ears were slightly red.
"This is for you, and the children. I'll give them to them tomorrow! Oh, by the way, I also want to give them to mom, eldest brother, second brother, Chen Xiao, Chen Zhizhi, and their, that... I'll go give them to them first!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to walk out the door. Gu Zhenqi was behind him and said quickly: "I'm afraid they are asleep. Let's send them off tomorrow morning!"
"No, they want to stay up all night, so I'll go and give it to them. Take a look at that one, do you like it?"
As he said that, he picked up the package and walked out of the room in a hurry.
Gu Zhenqi looked at his back, smiled faintly, and said to herself: "Why is he in such a hurry? There is nothing chasing him behind him?"
Then he opened the big package and found a tweed coat inside. The style was very trendy in that era!
Gu Zhenqi suddenly remembered that in his last letter, Chen Kuo seemed to have asked her and the children about the clothing sizes.
It turned out that it was to buy clothes for them. The corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably and he felt warm in his heart.
She took off her thick cotton jacket, put on her overcoat, and opened the small package.
You don’t know until you open it, you’ll be shocked when you do!
She couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow! Good guy!"
Gu Zhenqi's eyes were now reflecting the brand new Great Unity and various national tickets.
It was only a moment of surprise, then everything returned to normal.
I counted them and the total amount was 3,350 yuan.
Staring at the money in front of him without blinking, Gu Zhenqi fell into deep thought.
She was not at all shocked by the huge amount of money that suddenly appeared, but was more puzzled as to where it came from?
Several questions lingered in her mind. Has Chen Kuo's allowance been mailed back to her regularly?
So where does this money come from? bonus? How is it possible to give so much at once?
Also, if Chen Kuo was in an ordinary army, how could he be away for three years without returning home?
Suddenly, a memory from her past life emerged in her mind. It was the last time she and Chen Kuo met.
He went to attend a commendation meeting. She remembered that his military uniform was different from the ones she saw every day!
She didn't care about the specific differences at the time, and didn't pay attention to it later.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhenqi hit his head in annoyance.
