Mrs. Gu smiled awkwardly and pulled her man away.
Don’t look at it anymore, your image as a steady and reliable elder brother will be completely ruined if you keep looking at it!
Only Mr. Gu and his sister remained calm as before. They sat up straight without any panic, and looked as if nothing had happened.
"Ahem...why did I hear you mention that girl Shi Shi? What happened to her? Did she do something stupid again?"
Aunt Gu coughed twice and turned back into the serious, sharp and capable diplomat she was.
Wei Ci was stunned for a while, then burst out laughing. How could this family be so cute?
"No, my sister-in-law is doing well. It's just that my brother and Gu Zhan have to go on a mission and their return date is uncertain. My sister-in-law is due in a month, and my brother is worried that she can't handle it alone, so he decided to let her return to Kyoto. After all, the medical conditions here in the capital are better than there, and my family is still here, so I feel more at ease."
Why is it so sudden?
Gu Zheng and Gu Shang looked at each other, and a serious look flashed in their eyes.
A mission that Xiao San could urgently carry out must be no small feat! Not to mention that this time, the two biggest stars of their military region were participating in the mission together.
[Have you heard about any recent movements in the major military regions?]
Gu Shang looked at his elder brother inquiringly, and Gu Zheng shook his head calmly. There were movements, but they were not big, mostly small fights, and the special forces would basically not be sent out.
So something must have happened that they didn't know about. It must be no small matter for Xiao San and Wei Qingshan to lead the team.
Their father and children were at home, so the two brothers couldn't say much. They could only suppress their thoughts and prepare to ask about it when they returned.
Aunt Gu sighed and said that she would not let her daughter marry a soldier. She had experienced this kind of hardship and knew how difficult it was to be a soldier's wife and how much grievance she had to endure.
Even after getting married, she still ate alone, slept alone, endured illnesses by herself, and took care of children by herself. When she had conflicts with neighbors, the men of other families would come forward to resolve them, but she could only bear it alone with red eyes, and she trained herself to be invulnerable.
It was not until the girl was almost one year old and her father returned from a mission that he knew what his daughter looked like.
In order to prevent her from following her old path, Aunt Gu put in a lot of effort, but this girl just fell in love with Wei Qingshan. In order to pursue him, she stayed in his father's army all year round and was unwilling to go home.
"You are all busy. Why don't you live with me, an old man, when Shi Shi comes back? I am the one with the least time at home anyway."
Mr. Gu made the final decision, thinking that he was the most reliable person in the family and that the family would fall apart without him! After all, everyone else in the family was a workaholic.
Gu Zheng stuffed the peeled orange into his wife's hand. After hearing what he said, he glanced at his father and said softly:
"Have you forgotten that you have been rehired now?"
Oops, I really forgot!
Old Master Gu slapped his thigh and then remembered that he was forced to return to work for the organization. Although it was not my original position, there were still many things for him to worry about, and he might not have the time to take care of his granddaughter wholeheartedly.
Wei Ci thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we just live here? I might be very busy after I join the lab, and I'll probably eat and sleep there. Aunt Wu will be bored staying home alone, so we can bring my sister-in-law over to take care of her. That way, everyone will be relieved, and I'll come back often when I'm free."
"That's fine. I'm going abroad soon and won't have much time to take care of that girl. Let her stay here. Aunt Wu, please take good care of her when the time comes."
Aunt Wu smiled and waved her hand: "We are all used to it. Don't worry, I have taken care of that girl before."
She has taken care of every child in the family. Even the eldest child, Gu Zheng, was the one who took care of him when he was injured before he got married.
Everyone sat around in the living room, chatting in low voices. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, and they were discussing in low voices the preparations that needed to be made after Shi Shi took over.
Mrs. Gu and Aunt Gu, the only two people who had given birth to children, were sharing their experiences and preparations, while Aunt Wu, the most experienced in caring for people, was listening and checking for any omissions.
The three men in the house were speechless, and since they really couldn't get a word in, they simply put the chessboard aside and played chess while listening to them chat.
Wei Ci sat beside her and listened obediently. The two little kids, one lying in her arms and the other snuggled up to her side, slept with their little faces flushed and their crystal saliva hanging at the corners of their mouths, making their mother beside them extremely envious.
It seems that these two sons are just like herself, they both judge people by appearances. When they see a good-looking girl, they can't even walk and even abandon her as their own mother.
Wei Ci slept well all night and got up early the next day. She got ready and went downstairs. She had to report to the research institute today and it would not be good to be late.
Before she walked down the stairs, the noisy sound downstairs reached Wei Ci's ears. She keenly caught the words "regeneration", "normal" and "thank you". Wei Ci understood and went downstairs with a heavier pace.
"Good morning, uncle. Good morning, aunt. Good morning, brother, sister-in-law, and second brother."
After a round of greetings, Wei Ci also noticed seven or eight people with excited and slightly red faces. They looked unfamiliar, but the epaulettes on their military uniforms did not look unfamiliar at all.
Old Master Gu laughed heartily, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out. Anyone could see how happy he was.
"Come on, Ah Ci, Dad... cough! Uncle will introduce you to these uncles and aunts who are close to us. They also watched Gu Zhan grow up since he was a child."
Wei Ci greeted everyone one by one, nodding politely and calling them, with a relaxed and effortless attitude. Then the eyes of those who had been curious about her for a long time lit up.
As expected, Gu Zhan, who is the most discerning person in the compound, did not hesitate to look for her, but he found a beauty with a clear vision, gentle temperament, and intelligence and ability. They had heard a lot about her, and she was an admirable girl.
"Mr. Gu is so lucky!"
When the family was about to be broken up, it suddenly and inexplicably revived. Not only were the sons not implicated, but they all held important positions, and I was even re-employed by the organization.
I originally thought that he would be implicated because of his foreign daughter-in-law, and no one would be willing to marry his son.
Until they heard that the mistress of the Gu family had found a rural girl, they had not laughed and ridiculed her for long when news came again that the name of the rural girl was listed among the leaders. This time, no one dared to say a word.
"Hello, Comrade Wei! I've long heard of you! I'm here to thank you!"
The middle-aged man stood up quickly and saluted Wei Ci in a standard manner with gratitude in his eyes.
"One of my legs was accidentally injured and had to be amputated. I thought I would take off this uniform and return home, never to serve my country in the army again. It was your medicine that gave me new life! Thank you!"
Wei Ci waved her hand to refuse, fearing that the man would bow again.
"No, no, your duty is to defend our country, and my duty is to save the dying and the wounded. It's all my duty, no need to thank me!"
