Chapter 56 Cooperation
The Gu family had been incredibly busy these past few days. Gu Muxia had spent three days in the hospital after giving birth, and Gu Murun had been eating meals prepared by the Gu family chef, brought in by various people. She had also heard from Gu Muwan that the Jiang family had hired an entire postpartum care team to the mansion, and that nothing could go wrong before the baby was a month old. Gu Murun sighed again: "It's great to be rich."
I didn't think about myself, but I remembered when I was in Q County. Some women came to the hospital happily to give birth, but when they left, they were arguing fiercely with their mothers-in-law over whether to use diapers or cloth diapers for their children. Some and their husbands were worried because there was no one to help take care of the children. Even worse, some were called unlucky for having a daughter...
Gu Muran felt that it would be quite pitiful if a child was born without expectation or planning.
That day, Gu Muwan came to the hospital to wait for Gu Muran after work, saying she was going to choose a full-month gift for her sister's child. Gu Muran had previously shown her the comfort pillow she had bought, but she said it could be sent to the Jiang family separately, as a toy bought by her aunt for the baby, but it absolutely could not be considered a full-month gift. Because the full-month gift would involve many people, and the gift list would also include everyone's blessings. As the backing of Gu Mucha, the Gu family also wanted to show everyone the generous gifts before the New Year.
Gu Muwan even imitated others vividly at the time: "It seems that the Gu family is not good to their own daughter. The other brothers and sisters all gave houses and gold. How can this be unreasonable? Then, Nuanbao, you will have to accept all kinds of crazy words in the circle, and even reporters will jump out to visit you: Do you regret the Gu family treating you like this? Are you disappointed in your biological parents...
Gu Munuan laughed: "Where do you get so much thinking from!"
"Half of it was from a novel I'd secretly read before, and the other half is the truth, Nuanbao. Although I'm exaggerating, it might actually happen," Gu Muwan replied. One of her tasks for Gu Muruan was to teach her how to spend money, and never let her suffer any grievances or prejudice because of money.
In this way, the two of them walked around the street for two hours and finally chose the gift.
However, before Gu Muruan could attend her niece's full-moon banquet, she was informed at a department meeting that the hospital was collaborating with the J City military. A week later, a medical team would be selected to provide logistical support for a military exercise. The orthopedics department was planning to send Gu Muruan and Dr. Zhang, and they were instructed to prepare in advance.
After the meeting, Gu Muruan learned from other doctors that the hospital had signed a cooperation agreement with the military, and that military exercises typically involved sending medical teams from hospitals that had signed the agreement. Almost all the veteran doctors had participated and were currently working in the orthopedics department at S City Hospital. However, several other young and middle-aged doctors were currently busy with their children and families, leaving only Gu Muruan and Dr. Zhang as suitable candidates.
Back at the Gu family, Gu Munuan told her family the news. Mother Gu was a little worried, but Father Gu was very supportive, saying it was a military exercise and would not threaten the safety of the logistics support personnel, so it was an opportunity for training and it would be good for his daughter to experience it.
After Gu Moci returned home and heard about this, he thought for a while and said to Gu Munuan, "There's an acquaintance in the J City Military District. I'll tell him about it. If we can meet, Nunuan can get to know him."
"Who?" Gu's parents turned to look at their son at the same time, thinking: Do you have acquaintances in the army? Look how capable you are, how come we don't know them?
"Who else could it be? Brother Qi Han!" Gu Mochen, who had just returned from the competition, interrupted while lying on the sofa.
"Wow, Brother Qi Han, I haven't seen him for a long time. I want to go too." said Gu Muyan, who was also lying on the sofa.
"What are you thinking about? Your sister is going to work, why are you going there?" Mother Gu was afraid that her willful little daughter would really sneak over, so she quickly stopped her.
"Mom and Dad, Nuannuan doesn't know Brother Qi Han yet, so introduce him to her first." Gu Muxi was also at home today. Because of Gu Muyan's company and Gu Munuan usually only came back to live on weekends, Gu Muxi didn't feel that her life was any different from before. Moreover, at Gu Munuan's homecoming party, Grandpa and Dad kept telling everyone that she was also the daughter of the Gu family. So what if she was not a biological daughter? The Gu family's goddaughter couldn't stand any rumors. Si Yan and the elders of the Si family didn't change their attitude towards her because of her change of identity. So Gu Muxi's mentality was also calm. As for those people around her who wanted to make fun of her, Gu's mother and Gu Muyan said: "People like that can't be called friends. Just ignore them in the future."
"Nuannuan, Qi Han and A Ci are good brothers who grew up together. The Li family is a large military family in J City. Li Qi Han's grandfather, Li Feng, was stationed in S City when he was young and met your grandfather. Later, because he didn't want to interfere in the family business, Grandpa Li left everything to his eldest brother and third brother, and brought his wife and children to settle in S City. Your grandfather helped a lot." Father Gu began to introduce Li Qi Han and the Li family.
Old Master Li has two sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Li Jue, Li Qihan's father, and his second son, Li Qin, are both soldiers. His daughter, Li Tang, is a renowned actress. Now, with his second son deployed to the border of City Z and his daughter constantly on the move, only Li Jue and his family remain by his side.
Li Jue's wife, Luo Xinran, is a music professor at A University. Through her father's connections, she's also close friends with Gu Lizhou and the Xia Nuo couple. As the eldest grandson of the Li family, Li Qihan, influenced by his grandfather and father, developed a keen interest in the military from a young age. He attended a top military university, studied abroad, and returned to China to become a soldier. He currently serves as the youngest squadron leader of J City's special forces.
