Her words roused the group, "Will the government let us go back then?"
Li Yumei was a little excited. Although her parents valued their son more, they treated her, their daughter, well and sent her a lot of things over the years.
She could accept going to the countryside for a few years, but she couldn't accept staying there forever, or even marrying a man from the village. It wasn't that the men in the village wouldn't be able to find her; there were some families in the village who were better off than hers. It was just that they were too far from her family home. If she really got married, her family wouldn't be able to support her if she encountered any grievances.
Because of this, she has been persisting, but she doesn't know how much longer she can persist. However, what Gu An'an just said has rekindled her confidence.
"That's for sure, but what the country needs is talent, and it might use certain methods to select the people it needs."
"A certain method? What method?"
Zhou Yue, who had discussed similar issues with Gu An'an before, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "An'an, you're not talking about the exam, are you?"
Gu An'an smiled, "Isn't it highly likely?"
The group thought about it and realized it was true. If things really developed to that point, their competitors would likely be all the educated youth sent to the countryside across the country—no, they would probably be all eligible young people in the field.
Chen Jianguo said with a serious expression, "Gu Zhiqing, thank you for being willing to tell us all this today."
If someone else had said this, he might have thought they were talking nonsense, but since it was Gu An'an, who always accomplished everything, he believed her without question.
Zhou Yue was so moved that tears streamed down her face. "An'an, did you send me those documents because of this?"
Gu An'an pushed Zhou Yue's head away, "No, I just can't stand seeing you living such a good life."
Well! The sentimental scene was completely ruined by this one sentence, but it also amused everyone.
"Come on, let's drink to a better tomorrow!"
The boys' jars contained homemade grain liquor from the village, while the girls' jars contained soda brought by Gu An'an. The jars clinked together, making a cheerful sound.
After the drinks and food were finished, the gathering came to an end. Before leaving, Li Yumei insisted on leaving behind the things she had brought. After everyone left, Gu An'an opened the package and saw that it contained milk powder, a piece of floral cotton cloth, and some other things that she guessed were local specialties from her hometown.
"She's really willing to spend money this time. She's truly changed. Just keep this; it's a token of her appreciation."
"Um."
Gu An'an was still chatting with Zhou Yue, while Xiao Yuheng, who was pretending to be drunk in the room, waited and waited, but he didn't come. She felt that the beautiful time in their private world was slipping away little by little.
"Cough cough, An'an, An'an, I want to drink water."
It was obvious from the voice that it was fake. To be honest, Gu An'an really wanted Xiao Yuheng to experience her awkward acting skills, so she ignored her and continued chatting with her girlfriends.
Xiao Yuheng waited for several more minutes, but the door remained unmoved. Even though he was eagerly waiting, the person he was hoping for did not appear.
"An'an, I'm so thirsty, I want to drink water."
The voice rang out again, and Gu An'an was speechless at this flamboyant man. She looked up and saw Zhou Yue winking at her. "I'll go see what he's up to."
"Go on, go on! I need to go back and rest too."
Zhou Yue wanted to chat some more, but she knew that once Gu An'an went inside, the sexually frustrated man would definitely not let her out again, so waiting would be pointless.
As soon as Gu An'an entered the room, she saw Xiao Yuheng half-lying on the bed. His bright eyes became glazed over the moment he saw her. "Wife, I'm so thirsty."
"Want some water?"
Xiao Yuheng nodded, "Yes, I want some water. You feed me."
Gu An'an didn't refuse. She poured water into the ceramic jar and walked to the bedside, but instead of feeding Xiao Yuheng the water, she put on an acting performance.
"Want some water?"
Xiao Yuheng nodded.
"Then get up and drink it yourself. Don't think I don't know that little bit of alcohol poses no threat to you."
Seeing that his little trick had been seen through by Gu An'an, Xiao Yuheng stopped pretending and stood up to pull Gu An'an into his arms. "Wife, how can you blame me? I've been waiting for you in the room for more than half an hour, and you were still chatting. Otherwise, why would I have resorted to this tactic?"
"So you're blaming me?"
Xiao Yuheng dared not say such a thing. "It's my fault, it's my fault. If I hadn't been so good at getting those two clingy guys out of the way so quickly, we would still be enjoying our time together right now."
Gu An'an found it amusing, "Just say what you want to say, why are you praising yourself for no reason?"
"While it's good to be humble, we also have to be realistic, right? We're already pretty good, so we have to pat ourselves on the back when it's time to do so. Otherwise, too many people will want to steal my wife, and I'm afraid she'll forget how good I am."
Gu An'an wanted to push him away like a leech, but how could Xiao Yuheng let her succeed? He reached out and placed the ceramic water tank on the table, and with one movement, their positions were reversed.
Looking at the man on top of her, Gu An'an understood what was about to happen. Without hesitation, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Xiao Yuheng's neck...
(The following three thousand words are omitted; please use your imagination.)
After a long while, Xiao Yuheng finally stopped what he was doing, got up to pour water and cleaned the two of them up, then got into bed with satisfaction and hugged his wife, saying, "Wife, why don't we leave our daughter and son at home and come back to the army with me?"
"Can't you stop being so outrageous, you lust-driven man!" Gu An'an really wanted to pry open this man's brain to see what was inside.
"Hey! I just want to live a quiet life with my partner."
Speaking of this, he also felt bitter. He went on a mission right after getting married, got injured after the mission, and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy a good life for long before the two little ones couldn't wait to come and find them.
Since the arrival of his two little ones, Xiao Yuheng has been experiencing both joy and pain. The two children are so adorable that he wants to give them anything they desire, even the stars and the moon.
At the same time, those two troublesome little ones would scream for their mother at the door if they found that he had pulled his wife into the room for a few minutes and she hadn't come out. Anyone who didn't know better would think that he wasn't their father, but a thief who stole their mother.
Why do you keep arguing with the two kids?
Xiao Yuheng cried, "Wife, you still say I'm arguing with them? It's clearly the two of them who are deliberately making things difficult for me. Why is my life so miserable?"
Gu An'an couldn't stand this childish man anymore, so she reached out and pinched his waist. "Stop being silly, are you going to sleep or not?"
Since having a child, she hasn't been able to sleep as soundly at night as before. On a rare day when the child wasn't around, Gu An'an just wanted to get a good night's sleep. But Xiao Yuheng, who also rarely gets the chance, wasn't going to be so well-behaved. Before long, he started getting restless again, saying, "Wife, a moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold. We must cherish it."
