The next morning.
Zhao Tianlei woke up to the familiar wake-up call.
He blinked, listened to the faint noise coming from outside, put on his slippers and went out.
"Brother, are you awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Gu Mingjing, who was brushing his teeth, asked in a low voice when he saw him.
"I'm used to it. I wake up on time and get up to take a look when I hear any noise. Where's Shushu? Hasn't he woken up yet?" Zhao Tianlei also spoke in a low voice.
Gu Mingjing raised his chin towards the room and said, "He's still asleep. He usually needs to sleep for another two hours. If you can't sleep, you can go for a run outside first."
"This girl is still as lazy as before." Zhao Tianlei shook his head helplessly and complained.
Even though they are married, they are still like a child and sleep a lot.
"It's okay, let her sleep if she wants. There's nothing to do at home anyway, and Shushu will never be late when there's something important to do." Gu Mingjing still defended his wife and said in defense.
Zhao Tianlei looked at him speechlessly. He finally understood why Jian Shu's personality hadn't changed at all. With someone like him pampering her every day, it was already considered sensible that she hadn't become more spoiled.
"Well, I can't argue with you. You spoiled your wife yourself, so just bear with it."
After rinsing his mouth, Gu Mingjing washed his face with cold water. He grabbed a towel and wiped his face as he walked into the house. "Do you want to go to the cafeteria with me for breakfast first, or wait for Shushu to wake up and eat together?"
"I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat later. You go and do your work first. Don't worry about me." Zhao Tianlei waved his hand and turned to wash up.
Gu Mingjing came out dressed neatly. "Then I'll be leaving first. There's some food in the cabinet. If you're hungry, you can eat first. If you need anything, come find me at the army."
"I'm not a child anymore. Why do I need you to worry about this? Am I going to starve myself to death? When did you become so nagging?" Zhao Tianlei almost choked on his mouthwash and asked after two dry coughs.
Gu Mingjing's face darkened. "What do you mean by nagging? I'm being considerate!"
"Come on, hurry up and go, or you'll be late!"
Gu Mingjing didn't want to bother with him anymore, so he snorted and turned away.
Zhao Tianlei watched his back as he left, then hummed a song and returned to his room.
After cleaning up, I went to the kitchen and rummaged through the cabinet. I saw the leftover chicken soup from yesterday and planned to make some chicken noodle soup later.
But there is no need to rush. Noodles will clump together if left for too long. Just wait until Shushu wakes up.
After warming the chicken soup in the pot, he began to run around the yard to exercise. He still had to practice basic skills.
When I was halfway through the run, I happened to meet Wu Xiufang, who was taking a rare break at home.
"Hey, are you Shushu's brother?" Wu Xiufang, who had just come back from buying vegetables, was carrying bags and looked at Zhao Tianlei who was running towards her, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
There were only their two families here, and since it was close to the family compound, other people usually didn't come here. Plus, she had been in the family compound for many years, so although she didn't know everyone, she was familiar with them.
She was sure that she had never seen the person in front of her before. Thinking about what Jianshu said two days ago, she quickly guessed the identity of the person.
Zhao Tianlei slowed down his jogging when he heard the voice. Noticing her address, he quickly determined the person's identity. "Is this Sister Xiufang from next door? Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Zhao Tianlei, and I'm Shushu's brother."
"Hello, Comrade Zhao. Shushu has been thinking about you for a few days. When did you arrive? How long can you stay? It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so let Shushu show you around." After confirming her identity, the smile on Wu Xiufang's face became even more sincere.
"I arrived yesterday and will stay for almost a week. Thank you, sister-in-law. I've heard Shushu mention you many times before. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed a warm-hearted person. Thanks to you for taking care of Shushu on weekdays." Zhao Tianlei was also very kind to his sister, the only friend in the staff compound.
Both parties intentionally expressed goodwill, and the conversation was of course very pleasant.
"Given the relationship between Shushu and me, this is all my duty. There's no need to say thank you." Wu Xiufang's eyes curved. Thinking that Zhao Tianlei was just running, she didn't continue talking to him. "I'll talk to you guys after Shushu wakes up. You have something to do now, so I'll go in first."
After saying that, he opened the courtyard door and walked in with a bunch of things.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you!" Zhao Tianlei was very considerate and helped to pick up the things on the ground.
"No need, it's just a few steps away."
Zhao Tianlei didn't listen. He helped her deliver the things all the way to the kitchen before turning around and leaving, continuing to run.
Wu Xiufang stood in the yard, watching Zhao Tianlei jogging on the road, and sighed, "As expected of Shushu and him as brother and sister, they are both polite and know when to stop when getting along. How did their parents raise them? If Tiedan and the others can be like this in the future, I'll feel relieved."
***
The other side.
After completing his daily training, Zhao Tianlei went straight home, took a quick shower, changed his clothes, scrubbed his dirty clothes, and hung them out to dry in the yard.
I looked at the time and guessed that Jianshu should be waking up soon, so I went to the kitchen.
Jianshu woke up in a daze, put on his slippers and went out with his messy hair.
After searching around the house, they finally found Zhao Tianlei in the kitchen.
She yawned, "Brother, what time did you get up? Have you eaten?"
"I got up a long time ago. Do you think everyone is like you, sleeping so late?" Zhao Tianlei said unhappily.
Jian Shu snorted twice, "Why, are you envious? There's no point in being envious."
"Envy? Envy you for having a messy hair and eye boogers in the corners of your eyes?" Zhao Tianlei asked back without any politeness.
After hearing this, I knew he was my real brother. If he wasn't my real brother, he wouldn't be so mean to others.
"Nonsense! How can I have eye boogers?" Jian Shu was furious. It was okay that she had a messy hair, but she refused to admit this. She was a little fairy, how could a little fairy have eye boogers?
"Tsk - you don't still think you are a fairy who grew up drinking dew, do you? Who was chewing the pork elbow so happily yesterday? Do fairies chew pork elbows?" Zhao Tianlei, who had been her brother for many years, understood her thoughts very well.
This little girl has been saying that she is a fairy since she was a child, and the adults around her have been coaxing her. This is not what makes him angry, what makes him most upset is that she is a fairy, but she says he is just a soldier. How can it be possible? He is supposed to be a general, right?
"How could I!" Jian Shu had nothing to refute, and could only stiffen his neck and refuse to admit defeat. "Besides, who says fairies can't chew pork elbows? Who made that rule?"
This person is so petty that he can remember things from his childhood for so many years.
"Come on, no matter you are a fairy or something, go and wash up for me quickly. Look at what you look like. What time is it? It will be lunch time soon!" Zhao Tianlei pushed the person away in disgust, found two large bowls and scooped out all the noodles from the pot.
You little fairy, if you have the guts, just stop eating.
