Chapter 43 Three Children



There were no houses on either side of the road as we neared the educated youth site.

Jiang Xiaoqiao took Gu Xiangbei to a big tree. Looking at their holding hands, Gu Xiangbei's heart began to beat fast, and Jiang Xiaoqiao's mind also began to tinkle.

The two stood face to face under the tree. Gu Xiangbei looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao with watery eyes, while Jiang Xiaoqiao showed a serious and angry expression.

Gu Xiangbei didn't know why Jiang Xiaoqiao was angry, but inevitably, he stood up straight, waiting for Jiang Xiaoqiao's lecture.

No matter what he did wrong, he would correct it.

Although, Xiao Qiao looks so beautiful and cute when she is angry.

But compared to such a cute Jiang Xiaoqiao, Gu Xiangbei still hopes to see a happy and cute Jiang Xiaoqiao.

"Xiao Qiao, are you unhappy?" Gu Xiangbei asked proactively, "Did I do something wrong? Point it out, and I will never make the same mistake again next time."

"Well, yes, I'm not happy." Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Let me ask you, what's going on with these three children, Gu Zhen, Gu Lei, and Yu Ting?"

Jiang Xiaoqiao had just made a careful observation at Gu's house and was certain that Gu Zhen's health was indeed very poor, and there was more than an 89% chance that Gu Yuting was autistic.

When mentioning the three children, a dark light flashed in Gu Xiangbei's eyes.

These three children are Gu Xiangbei’s three comrades-in-arms.

Along with the revolutionary spirit of destroying the four olds, the army also suffered a lot of shocks within it.

Gu Zhen's father, Chen Yao, was forced to change his career due to his mother and wife's family reasons. Unable to take care of his elderly parents and sick wife, Chen Yao followed them to work on the farm.

Gu Zhen (Chen Zhen) was born on the farm. His mother died not long after giving birth to him. It was Chen Yao who begged others to raise the child with a spoonful of rice porridge and a spoonful of goat milk.

But the living conditions of those relocated to the farm were truly terrible. Gu Zhen (Chen Zhen) was a premature baby, and his mother was not in good health and mental condition when she was pregnant with him.

Later, Gu Xiangbei finally found an opportunity to secretly visit his former good brother.

In this way, Chen Zhen changed his name to Gu Zhen and became Gu Xiangbei's eldest son.

Gu Lei and Gu Yuting are siblings. Their original surname was Wei. Their father was also Gu Xiangbei's brother, who died on the battlefield two years ago.

Before carrying out the secret mission, Gu Xiangbei wanted to visit his good brother's widow and the two children he left behind.

When I arrived, I found out that Wei Ping had just died and less than a month later, his wife Zhang Xiumei remarried, and her husband was Wei Ping's cousin.

The couple took over Wei Ping's house and pension, and also abused Wei Ping's children.

Gu Xiangbei rushed over and saw the two skinny children wearing tattered clothes with bruises from being beaten.

On the spot, he took Wei Lei and Wei Yuting in to raise them, and sued Zhang Xiumei and her husband, successfully getting back Wei Ping's ancestral home and pension.

But the two children have already suffered some harm, and Gu Xiangbei can also see that there is a problem. Gu Lei looks lively and courageous, but in fact he is the least courageous among the three children.

As for Gu Yuting, she was quiet and immersed in her own world...

Gu Xiangbei recalled what happened to the three children and met Jiang Xiaoqiao's gaze. She was still waiting for his answer.

Gu Xiangbei pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Qiao, I'll talk to you about the three children later, okay?"

"Right now, I haven't figured out what to say."

Gu Xiangbei thought: Wait until his boss approves his marriage application, and after marriage, he will confess the matter of his three children to Jiang Xiaoqiao.

Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at Gu Xiangbei's serious and pleading eyes. She thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

"Then I'll wait until you tell me later."

"Well, Xiao Qiao, I'll talk to you sometime."

Since the two have reached a consensus, let's go back to the educated youth site. It's noon now and it's still very hot even if you stand under the tree.

After Gu Xiangbei sent Jiang Xiaoqiao back to the educated youth point, he did not go back home, but went to see if his superiors had responded.

Unfortunately, there is no new news from the contact point where the information is delivered.

When Jiang Xiaoqiao returned to the educated youth site, the yard was quiet. Zhou Yan and the others had all finished their meal and gone back to their rooms to rest.

She also went back to the room and lay down for a while, but it didn't feel like she had been lying there for long before the work bell blew.

Before Jiang Xiaoqiao went out, she bought a bottle of pure milk at the system mall and poured it into her military water bottle.

Milk quenches thirst and satisfies hunger, and it is enough to last for a short while during the afternoon work hours.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoqiao left the educated youth site, she saw Gu Xiangbei waiting for her under a tree.

Jiang Xiaoqiao didn't even bother to respond to Zheng Shengnan's teasing look. She hurriedly said, "I'm going to find my boyfriend," and walked quickly towards Gu Xiangbei.

The moment Gu Xiangbei saw Jiang Xiaoqiao, he walked towards her.

"Xiao Qiao, did you have a good nap at noon?"

"I feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep yet, but I have to get up and go to work."

"Why don't you go back and rest, and I'll do the work in the fields this afternoon." Gu Xiangbei said seriously, "I'll go tell my uncle that you don't have to work in the fields anymore."

Jiang Xiaoqiao tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "This is not good. It's too arrogant."

If she really didn't have to work, she would have refused to work on the first day she arrived at the brigade.

But how could this be possible? An educated youth who went to the countryside had to work unless he received any external support, such as being seriously injured, or becoming a teacher or doctor. Otherwise, he would be drowned in spit and arrested and sent to labor camp with red armbands.

Gu Xiangbei said: "When we were in Beijing, I promised you that I would no longer let you work in the fields, nor would I let you do dirty or tiring work..."

Jiang Xiaoqiao was stunned. She didn't expect him to bring it up at this time.

His attitude was very serious and didn't seem fake, so she curled her eyebrows.

"That's what we talked about when we got married," Jiang Xiaoqiao said. "After we get married, I really won't work in the fields anymore."

"good."

Gu Xiangbei responded without any hesitation. He clenched his hands and looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao.

Wait... wait until they get married...

The afternoon sun was still very strong. Jiang Xiaoqiao had to wipe the sweat off his face with the towel around his neck after pulling out two weeds.

Gu Xiangbei was helping Jiang Xiaoqiao with work, and Jiang Xiaoqiao started to work with a clear conscience.

Jiang Xiaoqiao was slacking off while watching Gu Xiangbei working under the scorching sun.

Oh my, her boyfriend is so good-looking, even doing farm work is pleasing to the eye.

"ah!"

Gu Guihua next to them made a noise. She shouted one second and rushed over to Jiang Xiaoqiao and the others the next.

Of course, Gu Guihua’s target was not Jiang Xiaoqiao, but Gu Xiangbei.

"Brother Gu, look, my hands are all blistered..."
