Chapter 79
Lin Yao pretended to yawn, "Oh, I'm tired after a day, so sleepy, blow out the light quickly."
Then she crawled into the towel blanket, only showing her head to someone, but it didn't cover her snow-white swan neck.
Deputy Director Gu stood still, blew out the light as he said, and lay down with his eyes closed.
The room darkened, and the shadows of bamboos swayed outside the window. Lin Yao secretly stretched her waist and rubbed her body to observe for a while. It was quiet around her. It seemed that she was overthinking.
Deputy Director Gu was also tired. He was busy at the Public Security Bureau all day, and he had to wash diapers for the fat boy when he got home. It was tiring.
Lin Yao felt relieved. Thinking back to the alluring mermaid line and abdominal muscles of Deputy Director Gu, her hands started to itch.
Deputy Director Gu's abdominal muscles felt so comfortable to touch.
She hadn't touched them for several months.
Lin Yao's claws were itching to move, and she called out quietly.
"Gu Shian?"
Someone on the bed was quiet and motionless, with only long breathing sounds.
Lin Yao was worried and tried again.
"Deputy Director Gu?"
"Dad Doudou? "
"Old Gu?"
"Is there a fire outside?"
Lin Yao called out several times, but the guy on the bed still closed his eyes and didn't respond.
Lin Yao was really relieved now. She got out of the towel quilt triumphantly and fanned herself with a small fan. She was suffocated in the towel quilt just now. It was hot in the summer night. She was sweating all over when she moved a little. If it wasn't for hiding from this guy, she wouldn't have wronged herself.
Lin Yao's white and tender hands reached out and touched Gu Shian's abdominal muscles. The feeling was so good that she hurriedly touched it again and again. Lin Yao
fanned herself happily with the small fan, intending to touch it a few more times to satisfy herself and then go to sleep.
Unexpectedly, someone who was sleeping soundly just now opened his dark eyes, stretched out his strong and powerful arms, and easily picked up Lin Yao in his arms.
"Are you satisfied with Yaoyao's touch?"
The man's deep and magnetic voice rang in her ears, and Lin Yao was startled.
"You, you were asleep, weren't you?"
"Well, I fell asleep and was woken up by a little rabbit."
Lin Yao: "......."
Bah, you are the rabbit!
Lin Yao struggled for a few times, but her waist was firmly held by the man, and she couldn't break free at all. She simply gave up and pulled the towel over, saying that she wanted to sleep.
Gu Shian laughed softly, said hello, and followed him into the towel blanket.
"......" Just as
Lin Yao was about to speak, she was kissed by someone's hot thin lips.
A night of heavy rain blew down the crabapple flowers all over the ground.
The next morning, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. The tender green leaves of the pomegranate tree outside the window were covered with dewdrops. Lin Yao slept until about seven o'clock. It was not until the little boy Doudou cried loudly in the big room that she was awakened from her sleep.
Zhang Cuilan was swinging the fat boy around
in her arms and legs, sweating profusely. She wanted to go in and call her daughter-in-law, but she was afraid that Yaoyao hadn't woken up yet. If she didn't go in, Doudou would be hungry again. When Lin Yao heard her fat son crying outside, she jumped out of bed, not caring about combing her hair, and went out in her slippers.
The moment she got out of bed, her waist and legs were sore, but Lin Yao didn't care about that. She first held her fat son to feed him, then held her waist and cursed someone in her heart.
Zhang Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing Lin Yao's sleepy look, she said distressedly.
"Yaoyao, what time did you go to bed last night? Have a good rest at night and don't sleep too late."
Lin Yao's face turned red. Fortunately, the little kid in her arms was humming and sucking milk, which attracted Zhang Cuilan's attention, otherwise she didn't know what to say.
Lin Yao fed Gu Doudou, and Zhang Cuilan took him over to help him pee.
The mother and daughter had breakfast and went back to the room to catch up on sleep. Lin Yao woke up and found Gu Doudou still sleeping soundly in the cradle. She reached out to take the watch on the cabinet and saw that it was already half past ten.
Lin Yao felt refreshed, but she was too lazy to move because she had exercised too much last night.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was almost noon, she would have been embarrassed to sleep any longer, otherwise she could have gotten some sleep.
In the kitchen, Zhang Cuilan was busy making lunch.
Lin Yao had nothing to do, so she wanted to go in and help, but was pushed out by her mother-in-law.
"You just came out of confinement, and your body is still weak. You need to take good care of yourself for a few days. If a woman doesn't take good care of herself during confinement, she will suffer in the future."
Lin Yao could only go back to the house. Zhang Cuilan cooked mixed grain rice, fried a tomato and egg, and mixed a plate of cold cucumber, and lunch was ready.
Lin Yao went back to the house to check on Gu Doudou, the fat boy was sleeping soundly with his fists clenched, and then went to the yard to see the mother rabbits cuddling their nests.
A few days ago, Gu Shian went to feed the rabbits and was almost bitten by the mother rabbit. After a careful look, he found that the mother rabbit had given birth again. Gu
Shidongle, who carried a small backpack to the vegetable market every day to pick up unsold cabbage leaves to feed the rabbits, is now holding a small shovel and sticking his butt out to scoop the rabbits' poop.
Daju was squatting on the low wall licking his paws. When he saw Lin Yao coming out of the house, he jumped down from the wall, ran over with his short legs, meowing and acting coquettish.
Daju takes a bath once a day and smells delicious. Lin Yao hugged Daju and stroked him for a while, and said with a smile, "Our Daju has gained weight again. His furry face is fat, so funny."
It's fun.
Gu Shidong saw Daju meowing and trying to run away from his sister-in-law, and couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, Doudou is one month old. Tomorrow, the eldest and second aunts will come home. What should we cook for him?"
Lin Yao had forgotten about this. Of course, the fat boy is one month old and the family has a full-month banquet. The two uncles and aunts from the country are coming home, so we have to prepare well.
Lin Yao went to the kitchen to see if there was anything good, and Daju ran away immediately.
Lin Yao looked around the kitchen with her hands behind her back like an old lady, and even took down the basket hanging from the beam to look at it, clapping her hands and saying, "Not bad." There was
still a whole old hen in front of the house that had been dried up by the wind, and the rabbit meat had been eaten up, but it didn't matter, because a new wave of rabbits had grown up in the house.
Now the old man has a total of six rabbits, a pair of big rabbits and four small ones. The female rabbits are specially raised separately, and Lin Yao went over to pick two plump gray rabbits.
Gu Shidong came over curiously.
"Sister-in-law, why did you catch Xiaosan and Xiaosi?"
Good boy, this kid even named the little rabbit.
Lin Yao made a gesture of wiping his neck with murderous intent, "My uncle and aunt will come tomorrow, kill Xiaosan and steam her, and kill Xiaosi and braise her!"
Gu Shidong: "......."
The brat was sad for five seconds, then he perked up and said, "Sister-in-law, potatoes are delicious when they are stewed, don't forget to add a piece of potato when you kill Xiaosi. Keep the skins of Xiaosan and Xiaosi for me, I can make them into hats to keep warm in winter."
Lin Yao: "......."
Okay.

The next morning, Lin Yao gave the fat boy a bath, rubbed him with perfume, put on the red bellyband made by Zhang Cuilan, put on small socks and tiger-head shoes, and put a lifelike tiger-head hat on his head. The fat boy immediately became a boy in the painting, white, tender and chubby, with two big eyes looking over, and he looked so cute.
Lin Yao hugged the fat boy and kissed him, "My Doubao is so cute."
Gu Doudou also excitedly kicked his chubby legs and gave his mother a kiss with a milky smell.
When the little boy was one month old, the old lady of the Xu family in the countryside suddenly fell ill, and the whole family of Big Head Brother went back to the countryside to see the old lady.
Before leaving, Gu Chunmei brought a bag of canned fruit for her nephew and left in a hurry without saying a few words. Gu Shian was also at home rarely. He wore a white shirt and a pair of military green trousers, with his sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows. Seeing that his wife was struggling to hold the fat boy, he came over and took Gu Doudou away.
The second aunt smiled and said, "Oh, you know how to love your wife. When Yaoyao gives birth to another child, the house will be lively."
Lin Yao laughed awkwardly.
The elders are all the same. As soon as the first child is born, they urge the second child to be born.
The two uncles, Zhang Da and Zhang Er, love the little cub very much. They have been circling around Gu Doudou all morning.
The little guy is not afraid of strangers. Whoever comes to hold him, he happily stretches out his little paws to them.
The two uncles were so happy that their dark faces were smiling like Maitreya Buddhas. After the eldest uncle held the baby, the second uncle held the baby. The second uncle held the baby and then the grandpa held the baby. As
soon as Gu Mancang held the eldest grandson, Gu Doudou started to whimper. Uncle Zhang asked, "What's wrong? Is he hungry?"
"No, he just had a feed. How could he be hungry so soon?"
"Did he pee?"
The three old men were in a hurry. They took off the diaper of the fat boy and took a look. The diaper was clean, without poop or pee. Gu Doudou pouted and was about to cry.
Gu Shian heard the noise and came over. He said that the boy was sleepy, picked up his son and coaxed him. Sure enough, within a few minutes, Gu Doudou fell asleep in his father's arms.
"Oh, you've made me sweat."
Uncle Zhang wiped the sweat from his head and habitually took out the dry tobacco bag on his back belt to take a puff.
Auntie was picking leeks in the vegetable garden. When she saw the old man's behavior, she immediately came over and glared at him, "What are you doing, old man? Doudou is so young, and you smoke. What if the child is smoked?" Uncle Zhang
smiled embarrassedly, "This is not a habit."
Second Uncle Zhang was gloating, and Gu Mancang stared at his eldest brother-in-law with a covetous look.
For the first time in his life, Uncle Zhang was so embarrassed that he broke out in a sweat.
*
Gu Doudou celebrated his grandson's full month. This year, the county had a good harvest and the grain supply was stable. The old Gu family was generous for once.
On the table was a plate of Mapo tofu, a plate of leek and egg flowers, a pot of rabbit stewed with potatoes, and a large basket of mixed noodles.
Gu Mancang took out his treasured fine wine, and the old men in the family poured a glass each, and celebrated their grandson's full month with a warm drink.
Uncle Zhang drank a few glasses of wine and began to talk with a big tongue.
Second Uncle Zhang did not have a drinking habit, so he stopped after one glass. Gu Mancang asked about the situation this year.
Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mancang. We in Yunshui County will definitely not lack food this year."
Gu Mancang was puzzled.
Uncle Zhang explained to him, "Last year, the higher-ups were involved in a riot. In order to save face, the major production teams boasted more than one another, saying that the grain production per mu exceeded 1,000 kilograms. In fact, there was only so much grain in the fields. Where could we get 1,000 kilograms of grain per mu? Now, they boasted too much, and the higher-ups took away all the grain. In the end, we are still hungry.
The grain production this year is good . , there is still a disaster in the north, the higher authorities asked us to report the grain production, and the leaders in our county were very experienced, and reported 70% of the production as in previous years, and kept the remaining 30% in the granary, fearing that there would be a disaster like last year. "
Gu Mancang clapped his hands happily, "This is good, we ordinary people rely on the grain for a year's meals, without grain, everything is empty talk." "
Sleep and say no."
Last winter, many villagers had no grain, eating sweet potato vines at home, looking pale and thin, and everyone was really hungry, so this was a last resort.
The three little old men at home drank too much as soon as they got drunk, and soon they leaned on the table and snored, only Uncle Zhang was still a little energetic, and shouted for another drink.
Zhang Cuilan and her two sisters-in-law came over and saw that it was useless to get angry, so they fetched water to wipe the old man's face, called Gu Shi'an over, and carried the old men to bed one by one.
Gu Shi'an had a good alcohol tolerance. After drinking a few glasses of wine, his handsome face was still the same as usual, and it was hard to tell that he had been drinking.
Lin Yao was worried and went to take a look. Well, it would have been better if she hadn't gone over. As soon as she went over, she could smell the alcohol on someone.
Lin Yao wrinkled her nose coquettishly, took out her handkerchief to cover her nose, fetched a basin of water, threw the towel into the basin and squeezed it wet, and asked Gu Shi'an to wash his face to get rid of the alcohol smell on his body.
Gu Shi'an smiled with a good temper, and did whatever his wife said. He fetched water to wash his face, revealing a pair of narrow and sharp black eyes.
When he was washing his face with water, he suddenly remembered something and thought for a while before speaking, "Yaoyao, there's news about your brother."
Lin Yao was eating the warm eggs in the pot. When she heard this, she opened her eyes wide and ate the eggs in her hand in three or five seconds, and ran over anxiously to inquire about the news.
"My brother, where is this guy Lin Yi?"
In the past six months, Lin Yao sent countless letters to Xinjiang. From the beginning of full of expectations to the end of disappointment, she herself couldn't figure out how many letters she had written. All these letters were sent out but fell into the sea without any response.
Sometimes Lin Yao himself even wondered if Lin Yi had deliberately left a false address as a prank, otherwise one letter after another flew out like snowflakes, but there was no news.
Lin Yi joined the army at the age of seventeen. The country is so big, but he insisted on going to Xinjiang, where the conditions were the most difficult.
You have to know that Xinjiang at that time was not a tourist destination in later generations. In the 1950s and 1960s, Xinjiang was all desolate Gobi deserts, endless yellow sand, no human habitation, no oasis, no cattle and sheep everywhere. It was all thanks to the veteran general Wang Zhen who led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to take root in Xinjiang.
Lin Yi wanted to go to Xinjiang to serve as a soldier. Lin Weiguo and his wife did not understand their son, but they supported his decision.
Grandpa Lin is an old revolutionary of the Red Army. He was able to follow the Red Army on the Long March, crossing grassy mountains and climbing snowy lands. Why can't the son of the Red Army take root in the frontier to build the motherland?
No one expected that Lin Yi would never see his parents again after he left.
Yunshui County is a long way from Xinjiang, and Lin Yao's attempt to inquire about his brother's news is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, Gu Shi'an has an old comrade-in-arms who is also in the Xinjiang Corps.
When things were tough last year, Gu Shi'an sent a package to his old comrade-in-arms, which contained some rice, flour, soap, toothpaste and other daily necessities, as well as a letter asking his old comrade-in-arms to help find his brother-in-law Lin Yi.
The old comrade-in-arms was also a loyal person. He tried his best to help find Lin Yi over the past six months, and finally got news about Lin Yi.
