On the other hand, when it was time for lunch at noon, Gu Shiqing did not go to the cafeteria with Xiao Wenlei as usual, but left the regiment headquarters.
Xiao Wenlei asked: "Old Gu, why don't you go to eat during dinner time?"
"Go to the telegraph room and send a telegram." Gu Shiqing said, and looked at Xiao Wenlei again.
Lao Xiao is only one year younger than him, and now he doesn’t even have a partner, and he is about to become a father.
As an old partner, Gu Shiqing generously shared the news with him: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant. I have to tell my parents and your sister-in-law's family about this news."
There was a sense of boasting in his words.
How could Xiao Wenlei not hear the bragging in Gu Shiqing's words?
Ever since his sister-in-law came to join the army, Gu Shiqing's life has been prosperous.
We no longer share the same dormitory or eat in the cafeteria.
"Oh, congratulations to you." Xiao Wenlei said sourly.
Things have really changed overnight. It's not like two years ago. At that time, Gu Shiqing had no feelings for his wife and their relationship was not good. Just half a year ago, Gu Shiqing even wrote a letter asking for a divorce.
Now I want a wife, children and a warm bed.
No wonder he was having fun there alone early this morning. He usually has a stern face, but today he looks much more cheerful.
"Old Xiao, you have to work harder too. Find your match and get married as soon as possible. Try to get married before my daughter gets married." Gu Shiqing patted Xiao Wenlei on the shoulder.
Xiao Wenlei: "..."
No, isn’t Gu Shiqing’s words too mean?
He said unconvincedly, "Old Gu, don't laugh at me. Who knows, I might be able to finish my personal problems by the end of the year, and give birth to a big fat boy next year, faster than you. By then, my son will marry your daughter to me."
"You are so beautiful. My daughter only wants a husband. I won't mind if you are willing to let your son marry into my family." Gu Shiqing said calmly.
Why does everyone want to marry his daughter?
When his daughter comes down, he will make sure to keep an eye on her and keep her away from this group of people.
After saying this, Gu Shiqing asked again: "From what you said, it seems that there is progress? Which female comrade? How far has it progressed? When are you getting married?"
"We're working on it." Xiao Wenlei said.
Then he remembered something: "She seems to also work at the health station. My sister-in-law probably knows her."
"From the Wei Institute? Then your sister-in-law must know him. Tell me who he is and I will tell your sister-in-law to say a few good words for you in front of the other party." Gu Shiqing said.
"I just knew her last name was Tan..." When Xiao Wenlei mentioned it, his dark face turned slightly red.
"Tan? I know who it is! I'll tell your sister-in-law when I get home." Gu Shiqing said.
Xiao Wenlei quickly reminded: "Don't say too much, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself and scare the girl... I haven't told her my feelings yet, I don't know how to start..."
"Okay, I know. Are you still not confident in your sister-in-law's ability to do things?" Gu Shiqing said.
"I trust my sister-in-law, but I'm worried about you." Xiao Wenlei retorted.
Gu Shiqing poked Xiao Wenlei in the chest with his elbow. Are you still worried about him?
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I think your sister-in-law is waiting for me. I have to leave quickly." After saying this, Gu Shiqing hurried out of the regiment headquarters.
When they arrived at the guardhouse, Lin Banxia was indeed waiting at the door.
Seeing Gu Shiqing running towards her quickly, she raised her wrist to check her watch and reminded him, "Captain Gu, you are a few minutes later than usual today. Did something happen?"
"Reporting to the leader, I chatted with Lao Xiao during the trip. I asked him to get married early, but he told me that I have a girlfriend I like." Gu Shiqing said.
Lin Banxia's eyes lit up, and she took Gu Shiqing's arm: "Who does Lao Xiao like? Tell me quickly."
"It is said that his surname is Tan and he works in our garrison." Gu Shiqing lowered his voice, "I think it is most likely Tan Mengyuan."
"Dream come true?" Lin Banxia opened her eyes wide in surprise, then burst out laughing, "No wonder she's been absent-minded from time to time recently, laughing alone like this. I thought something was wrong with you, but it turns out to be this."
However, Xiao Wenlei said that he only knew Tan Mengyuan's last name and where she worked, and estimated that their relationship was only in the initial development stage. It seemed that she had to help match them up.
"Our health station will be delivering medicine to the regiment headquarters soon. I will arrange for Meng Yuan to deliver it then." Lin Banxia said.
Gu Shiqing understood and pinched her fingers: "I'll let Lao Xiao stay in the office."
The two of them walked slowly home along the tree-lined avenue, the setting sun lengthening their shadows.
When I arrived at the telegraph room, I first sent a telegram to Lin Banxia's grandfather.
At that time, telegrams were counted by word, so the content of the telegram was very concise, as long as the other party could understand what it meant.
Lin Banxia chose to send a telegram instead of writing a letter because she didn't know how to write to her grandfather. What should she say in the letter? If she just talked about her pregnancy, the whole piece of letter would be so empty.
But if she wanted to write something else, she didn't know what to say.
