The next morning, Wen Nuan woke up when she heard the wakeup call. Although it was the Spring Festival, various bugles in the army still sounded on time.
Wen Nuan thought she had woken up early, but when she turned her head to look at Gu Qinghan, she found that he was also awake.
The light in the morning was still dim, and Wen Nuan couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, so she asked quietly: "Are you awake? Why are you awake so early today?"
However, after coming to North City, Wen Nuan had never seen Gu Qinghan stay in bed. Even if he didn't have to do morning training, he would still get up early as usual.
The man's deep voice sounded beside my ears: "I just woke up too."
Both of them woke up and simply washed up. Wen Nuan originally planned to cook dumplings for breakfast, but Gu Qinghan pulled her out, saying that they wanted to see yesterday's ice lanterns.
They came back late last night, and Lele had fallen asleep, so Wen Nuan forgot to turn on the light.
The sky was still a little dark at this moment, but the light illuminated the small yard. Not only their family, but also several families in the townhouse opposite had lit up ice lanterns.
The candles emit soft light through the crystal clear ice lanterns, which seems particularly warm in this dim morning, making the New Year atmosphere of the family compound slowly condense and rise in the white ice lanterns...
Wen Nuan stood under the bright light, looked at the man beside her, and asked, "Is this what you ordered last night? You are not staying up all night alone, are you?"
Because she didn't take a nap yesterday, Wen Nuan fell asleep soon after drinking the Chinese medicine. She didn't even know what time Gu Qinghan came back home.
Gu Qinghan nodded and smiled: "Well, I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly, but you can see the effect now."
Gu Qinghan only talked about the ice lantern and didn't mention a word about the fact that he stayed up all night.
Wen Nuan was a little annoyed. If she had known to stay up past midnight before going to bed, they could have lit the lamps together and stayed up to celebrate the New Year.
It was also the first time Wen Nuan had seen ice lanterns of this era, so she smiled and said, "So beautiful, they look brighter than electric lights."
Gu Qinghan nodded, "Well, it seems to be brighter this way, maybe the ice lantern has a smaller space."
Wen Nuan felt a little regretful: "If Le Le could see it, she would be so happy, but I think we can let her see it tonight."
"good."
Wen Nuan looked at the vague facial features of the man, suddenly reached out and hugged his strong waist, then laid her head in his arms and said softly: "Qinghan, Happy New Year. I wish you peace and health in the new year."
"You are the most important person to Lele and me, and the most important family member. I hope that every time you go on a mission, you can come back safely, and come back to Lele and me."
The man is a soldier and a pilot at that. Wen Nuan is also well aware of the danger of his job.
Wen Nuan doesn't dare to expect her man to be rich and powerful in the future. She only hopes that he can return safely from every mission in good health, and that the family can gain a little happiness and joy in their ordinary life.
Gu Qinghan was suddenly hugged by the woman. He was stunned for a moment, listening to her lazy and coquettish murmurs after she just got up. It felt like something suddenly hit his heart.
A strong, unfamiliar emotion emanated from his heart to every inch of his nerves, causing him to subconsciously stretch out his arms and hold the woman tighter in his arms.
No one has ever told him that he is the most important person in the other person, and no one has ever said such a blessing to him during the New Year.
He has many burdens on his shoulders, including his mission as a soldier, his responsibility as the eldest son of the Gu family, and most importantly, his responsibility as a husband and father.
But Wen Nuan said that he was the most important family member to her and her children.
What she wanted was for him to return home safely after every mission.
Gu Qinghan felt both bitter and sweet in his heart, and he called her name in a hoarse voice: "Wen Nuan."
At this moment, he wished he could rub the person in his arms into his body.
Gu Qinghan added hoarsely, "Happy New Year to you too. I will try my best to make you and Lele happy."
Wen Nuan raised her head slightly and looked at him. Their eyes met. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek: "Okay."
Under normal circumstances, Wen Nuan would not dare to flirt with him in the yard. In this day and age, even couples have to keep their distance when they are outside.
But it happened to be during the Spring Festival, so I dared to hug him...
Gu Qinghan hugged the person tighter again, looked around vigilantly, then brought the person back home and closed the living room door.
Before Wen Nuan could react, he reached out and pinched her wrist, pressed her against the door, and impatiently lowered his head to touch her lips.
The minty smell of toothpaste between the man's lips and teeth instantly spread over. Wen Nuan raised her head slightly, feeling a little short of breathing.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qinghan felt the person in his arms shiver, so he gently let her go and quickly helped her pull her clothes off. "Are you cold?"
The temperature in the early morning was a little colder than at night. When he was at the door just now, he felt that his warm hands were particularly cold.
Wen Nuan felt like she was almost out of breath, and her lips were a little numb, so she reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Your back is against the door, what do you think?"
Wen Nuan felt that her lips were all broken. This man’s kissing skills were so bad!
Why do you look like a young boy
Gu Qinghan bent down, picked her up, walked towards the stove, and put her on a stool closest to the stove. "Sit here and warm yourself for a while."
The man didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly smiled and said, "You look really good in this dress."
Wen Nuan subconsciously looked at the clothes she was wearing. This was a new cotton-padded jacket she had made before the Chinese New Year. The fabric and cotton were bought in Beijing.
I had made it before, but I was never willing to wear it. I wore it for the first time when I woke up today.
But Wen Nuan feels that it is a bit too pink and seems a bit inappropriate.
Wen Nuan blushed and turned away: "It's a bit too pink. I should have asked for a different color."
"No, this color suits you very well." Gu Qinghan stood in front of Wen Nuan, looking down at her, and said, "Wait until summer, and then make two more shirts of this color."
Wen Nuan thought that Gu Qinghan was not the kind of person who would talk smooth talk, and he probably thought she was really pretty.
But it's true, she is actually only 20 years old, and will be 21 after the Chinese New Year. This age is really young, and it seems normal for her to wear pink.
Wen Nuan smiled and replied, "Let's talk about it in the summer. It won't happen that fast."
Gu Qinghan reached out and touched her fingertips. Thinking about how they had been fooling around for quite a while, and how it had been more than half an hour since they got up, Wen Nuan must be hungry.
Then he asked, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook some dumplings now and we'll have breakfast soon."
Wen Nuan nodded. She was indeed starting to feel hungry. "Then you go and cook. I'll light a fire."
Wen Nuan sat on the stool, still a little unresponsive, but Gu Qinghan had already turned around to cook dumplings, so she reached out to warm her hands on the stove.
She clearly felt cold just now, but her face was so hot that it seemed like she could fry an egg on it. She didn't even dare to look in the mirror.
After roasting for a while, Wen Nuan saw that Gu Qinghan had not finished cooking yet, so she went to the kitchen to check. It turned out that Gu Qinghan had heated up the chicken soup from last night.
By the time he brought the chicken soup and dumplings to the living room, Wen Nuan had already prepared two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Thinking that the little one would not wake up so early, she simply did not take hers.
While eating dumplings, Gu Qinghan poured her another bowl of soup, saying that he saw her drink a few bowls last night and thought she would like it very much.
Wen Nuan didn't want to explain anymore. Didn't she just drink two bowls
Where are the several bowls
After breakfast, Wen Nuan went back to the room to see if the child had kicked off the quilt. Seeing that Le Le was still sleeping soundly, she took out the red paper she had cut long ago and wrapped many one-cent red envelopes for the New Year.
These were prepared for the children living in the family compound. If a child came to wish her a happy new year, she would give the child a red envelope as a sign of good luck.
So there is no need to seal too much, just be beneficial.
After wrapping a thick bag of small red envelopes, Wen Nuan specially wrapped two larger ones, which actually only contained one dollar.
One was given to Gu Qinghan, who was asked to put it in his pocket, and the other was stuffed under Lele's pillowcase.
*
Wen Nuan's fingers were all red after wrapping the red envelopes. Lele just woke up and the first thing he did after waking up was to get up from the bed, sit at the head of the bed and look around to see if Wen Nuan was in the room.
The little guy's hair had grown longer, and after a nap, it was messy, with several strands standing up, making it look like it was frizzy.
Lele saw Wen Nuan sitting beside the bed, and he crawled forward with his little body. In a few seconds, he reached the bedside and called out "Ah--" to Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan picked up the little girl who had just woken up, kissed her on the forehead, and brushed her fur: "Are you awake? Happy New Year, little one."
The little fellow probably didn't understand much and just kept laughing. He had just woken up and hadn't recovered his strength yet. He lay limply on the warm shoulder and yawned again.
Only after being fed did the little guy finally wake up.
Gu Qinghan wiped her face, washed her butt, and changed her into a drier diaper.
Wen Nuan has been transformed into a delicate and lovely baby again.
After feeding Lele and eating some dumplings, Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan took the children to stroll around the family compound. Not long after they went out, they ran into Sister Juxiang's two daughters, Xiaodong and Xiaomei, and her son Zhao Guoqing.
Xiaodong and Xiaomei saw Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan, so they walked up to them and said in a loud voice: "Uncle Gu, Aunt Xiao Nuan, Happy New Year. I wish you good health, peace and happiness."
The two little girls spoke in a very orderly and polite manner, and Wen Nuan felt very comfortable listening to them: "You are so well behaved. Auntie also wishes you a happy new year, good health and happiness."
Then he took out the red envelopes he had prepared early in the morning, gave one to each of them, and also grabbed a few candies for them to make the children happy.
Zhao Guoqing was a little embarrassed. He stood aside and looked at Gu Qinghan but didn't dare to go forward. However, Wen Nuan reached out to him first and said, "Guoqing, come here."
Xiaodong and Xiaomei pushed Guoqing and reminded him, "Aunt Xiaonuan is calling you, go and wish her a happy new year. Mom said you have to be polite when you meet someone you know today, remember to say Happy New Year to Auntie!"
Zhao Guoqing is only six years old and a little shy, but sister-in-law Juxiang said that he is also a naughty boy at home.
Zhao Guoqing looked at Wen Nuan who was waving at him, thought for a moment and walked over, whispering, "Happy New Year."
Wen Nuan patted the child's shoulder and said with a smile: "Why are you so shy even when you see your aunt? Happy New Year to you too. Here, here are the red envelopes and candies for you."
Zhao Guoqing took the red envelope and two candies, and then quickly said, "Thank you, auntie. I wish you good health and a happy new year."
Then he ran away again.
When the little guy saw Wen Nuan giving red envelopes and candies to several children, he started to scream "Ahh..." again, and his little arms kept opening towards Wen Nuan, wanting red envelopes and candies as well.
Wen Nuan was afraid that the child would put the red paper into her mouth, so she had to open a candy for her, then asked Gu Qinghan to help break it in half and feed her a little.
Lele ate the sweet candy and stopped making trouble. He just laughed twice.
He Xiaofei, who was making a snowman nearby, had noticed Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan early in the morning. Now, seeing the Zhao family's siblings wishing Wen Nuan a happy new year and receiving red envelopes and candies, he suddenly became eager to try his luck.
However, He Dazhuang squatted aside and had no intention of going forward to wish them a happy new year.
He Xiaofei asked He Dazhuang: "Brother, look at Uncle Gu's wife, she has also given red envelopes to the Zhao family's children. Should we really not go?"
He Dazhuang glared at him and sneered, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm not going anyway!"
Then, He Xiaofei saw Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan giving red envelopes and candies to several children of Liang Guoan, the captain of the flight team. The children were all very sweet and wished them a happy new year. Wen Nuan took out red envelopes and candies from her pocket...
Unlike his grandma and his mom, who knew that children today like to ask for red envelopes everywhere, they stayed at home and locked the house, as if they were afraid that others would come to their house to pay New Year's greetings.
He Xiaofei threw the shovel in his hand onto the snow, glanced at He Dazhuang, and said, "If you don't go, I will! I'll get the red envelopes and candies later, and you are not allowed to snatch them from me."
After saying that, He Xiaofei ran towards Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Gu, Auntie, Happy New Year."
Gu Qinghan was holding Lele in his arms. He showed no expression when he saw He Xiaofei. When he heard him coming to wish him a happy new year, he also said to him, "Happy New Year."
All He Xiaofei remembered about Gu Qinghan was that he was a very good uncle. He had taken good care of their family when he was in Province G, so he was able to greet them happily this time.
Wen Nuan looked at He Xiaofei's quirky appearance and thought he was quite cute. He thought that he stole pork last time because he was young and was instigated by He Dazhuang. In fact, this child looked quite well-behaved.
Wen Nuan heard him say a few words of New Year's greeting and gave him a red envelope and some candies.
Then she looked around and found that He Dazhuang was making a snowman over there, but he didn't come over.
He Dazhuang is twelve or thirteen years old now. Unlike Zhao Guoqing who is a few years older, he knows all the etiquette. If he doesn't come to pay New Year's greetings now, it is probably because he doesn't want to come.
Gu Qinghan probably noticed it as well, but it was obvious that he didn't want to take the initiative to pay attention to He Dazhuang.
Seeing that he had already walked forward, Wen Nuan didn't want to care and followed the man.
*
He Xiaofei received the New Year's red envelope and candy from Wen Nuan, and showed off in front of He Dazhuang: "I asked you to go over and pay New Year's greetings. That aunt gave me a red envelope and candy! Three pieces!"
After showing off, He Xiaofei directly opened a candy and put it into his mouth, feeling very happy.
He Dazhuang put one foot on the shovel and patted He Xiaofei with his other hand, snorting: "Who the hell cares? Just a few candies and a red envelope can buy you off? How much is that worth? Don't ever say you are my, He Dazhuang's, younger brother!"
He Xiaofei was too lazy to pay attention to him and just turned around and walked away, but He Dazhuang grabbed his shoulders, spread his palms towards him, and said, "Give me the red envelope and candy, I'll go buy some firecrackers."
After hearing this, He Xiaofei stuffed the candy and red envelope directly into his mouth, "Didn't you say you don't want it? I won't give it to you!"
He Dazhuang is three years older than He Xiaofei. When he heard He Xiaofei say no, he kicked him into the snow, then pulled off He Xiaofei's pants and snatched the red envelope and the candy.
He Dazhuang tore open the red envelope and saw that there was only ten cents in it. He frowned and said, "Fuck, it's only ten cents. I thought it was much more!"
Having said that, he threw the torn red envelope paper at He Xiaofei, put the money and candy in his pocket, and ran towards the village outside the family compound.
He Xiaofei suddenly lost his red envelope and two candies, and he sat on the snow and started crying.
*
Wen Nuan followed Gu Qinghan to the home of flight squadron leader Liang Guoan to pay New Year's greetings. It was already noon when they came out.
After returning home and having dinner, Wen Nuan coaxed Le Le to sleep and let her take a nap.
Gu Qinghan couldn't sit still. Even on holidays, he would go to the small room after dinner and repair the bed in the small room.
When cleaning the bed before, Gu Qinghan saw that one of the legs of the bed was about to break, so he took the opportunity to plan a new leg and replace it.
Wen Nuan woke up after sleeping for half an hour. When she came out, she saw the man busy in the narrow room.
The small room does not have much light, but outside the window is a birch forest. At this time, you can see the white snow scene, which is very beautiful.
Wen Nuan then walked in, looked at Gu Qinghan who was blowing away the sawdust, and asked, "Is it fixed?"
Gu Qinghan didn't even raise his head. He just heard Wen Nuan getting up, so he said, "Well, it's OK. You can use it tonight."
When Wen Nuan heard this, she immediately understood the other meaning behind Gu Qinghan's words and her face immediately turned red.
I still remember the last time, the two were afraid that the noise would wake up the child, so Gu Qinghan carried her over to this small room. However, the window was leaking, and the bed had no quilt or bedding, so the two were just one step short of the finishing touch.
She happened to have her period a few days before the New Year, so Gu Qinghan waited until the New Year. Looking at his current attitude, he must complete his "grand plan" tonight.
Wen Nuan pretended not to understand and then smiled: "Then you can sleep here tonight. The bed is a bit crowded."
Gu Qinghan raised his head, glanced at Wen Nuan, and said, "Let's sleep together tonight."
"No, I want to sleep with Lele." Wen Nuan shook her head, walked out of the small room, walked out of the living room, and looked back at the man.
Their eyes met, and the man's dark eyes sparkled, making Wen Nuan's face even redder.
Gu Qinghan just smiled and continued with the work in his hands.
Since there was no need to visit relatives and there were no activities held in the family compound, many older children took the younger children to skate on an icy river next to the compound.
It happened that there was a light snow last night, but it stopped today and it cleared up again after noon. The weather was very good.
Gu Qinghan listened to the noise outside, and asked the warmth that was given to Lele who had just woken up, "Do you want to go ice skating?"
Wen Nuan thought for a moment and then said, "There should be a lot of children there at this time, and Le Le is still too young, so he probably doesn't know how to play."
Then, Wen Nuan looked towards a small hill at the back of the mountain, "Why don't we go make a snowman? Le Le has wanted to have a good time in the snow for a long time. I heard that the snow is thicker on the small hill."
The snow in the family compound is basically cleaned by everyone every day, and there are many people walking there, so the snow is not very clean. However, not many people go there on the small hill, and the snow has not been cleaned, so there should be a very thick layer of snow.
As soon as Lele heard that they were going to build a snowman, he immediately waved his arms excitedly and shouted to Gu Qinghan: "Baba... Baba"
Gu Qinghan simply hugged her, touched her rosy little face, and said with a smile: "Okay, then Daddy will take you to build a snowman, let's go."
Wen Nuan specially put a hat and scarf on the child. The little guy knew he was going out to play, and this time he didn't pull at the hat all day.
When they went out, Gu Qinghan took the stroller with him and said, "I'll take you skiing later."
Wen Nuan smiled and was a little excited: "Okay, I want to play too. Qinghan, I want to have a snowball fight with you!"
She had wanted to play in the snow for a long time, but Gu Qinghan was not available before, or it was snowing very heavily. Today, she finally waited for her husband to have a day off, and the weather was good, so she finally had a good time in the snow.
Gu Qinghan smiled, as if laughing at her for overestimating her abilities, and Wen Nuan patted him on the back: "Don't underestimate me, don't let me beat you until you cry and beg for mercy!"
"No." Gu Qinghan rarely joked: "I don't consider you as an opponent at all."
Wen Nuan yelled at him and Lele thought she was going to hit Gu Qinghan again, so he quickly reached out and hugged Gu Qinghan's shoulders, buried his head in his shoulders, looked at Wen Nuan and waved his hands again.
Wen Nuan pinched the little guy's nose: "You'll have something to play with later."
Then they walked out into the yard.
It was early winter when Wen Nuan came to North City. Everything was frozen and she hadn't been to any place.
Later it started to snow. Gu Qinghan was afraid that the children and she had not yet adapted to the winter in the northern city, so she seldom let them go out. So except for the time they went to pick wild ginseng, this was Wen Nuan's second time out.
If it was with Gu Qinghan, then that would be the first time.
Winter in the north city is like an ink painting, with withered trees dotted in the silver-white snow world, like a dream.
Some dry branches are still covered with crystal clear frost, adding a touch of brilliance to this pure and flawless white world, like flowers blooming in the snow.
The further we go back into the mountain, the quieter the voices become. Most of the people in this group are from the north, and perhaps everyone still thinks that staying at home is the greatest respect for winter.
Soon they came to a small hill at the back of the mountain. In the distance, there were several children skating on another frozen pool, and they could hear shouts from time to time.
There are several ski marks on this small hill, which looks like someone has skied here. There is also a wooden board broken into two pieces next to it. It is estimated that the group of children played here just now.
"I'll pull you down later. I'm afraid the slope is too steep and will scare the children." Gu Qinghan looked at the small hill and then put Lele on the stroller.
Wen Nuan still felt a little shaky when looking at the hill, but actually she knew how to ski, and she was eager to go skiing. Unfortunately, Gu Qinghan didn't know she knew how to ski, and she had to take care of the little guy Lele, so she had to let him pull her along.
When the little guy saw the vast expanse of white snow, he wanted to climb down and kept dancing with joy.
Wen Nuan sat directly behind the child and held Lele tightly. The two of them squeezed into a small stroller, which suddenly became cramped, but Lele seemed even more excited.
Gu Qinghan on the other side took a look at the slope and then asked, "Are you ready? I'll hold you from behind and let go when you get to a place where it's not so shaky."
Wen Nuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, Deputy Captain Gu, let's get started."
The wooden board of the cart was polished very smoothly. It went down from the top of the hill, rubbing against the smooth snow, and rushed down in an instant. Wen Nuan thought that she would not be able to slide fast while holding Lele, but at the moment of rushing down, it was still a little fast.
Wen Nuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but it was really fun.
The little girl was laughing out loud when she played with it for the first time. She didn't look scared at all. When the cart slid to the bottom, she started shouting "Ahhh" and wanted to slide again.
Wen Nuan also shouted excitedly: "Qinghan, I want to play more. Help us pull the cart back to the hillside!"
"Okay, wait for me, I'll come down now." Gu Qinghan looked at them having so much fun and rushed down as well.
There were only three of them on the small hill. Gu Qinghan went back and forth several times without getting tired of it. In the end, there was no need for him to pull the child anymore. Wen Nuan simply held the child in her arms, sat in the stroller, and rushed downstairs.
Later, Wen Nuan felt sorry for him when she saw him running up and down, so she asked him to squeeze into the cart together. With the weight of three people, they rushed to the bottom of the hillside in an instant, and went back and forth several times in a row.
After skiing, Wen Nuan put the child on the snow, covered her with a layer of snow, and let her play with the snow.
She played snowball fight with Gu Qinghan.
It’s no wonder that Gu Qinghan looked down on her as his opponent. For every snowball she made, Gu Qinghan could make three.
Wen Nuan looked at him angrily, "Let's make a snowman!"
Gu Qinghan smiled and was not annoyed by Wen Nuan's cheating. Instead, he thought she was extremely cute. If they were not outside, he would really want to push her into the snow and kiss her.
The family members who were closer to the back of the mountain heard the laughter of children and women, and looked towards the small hill behind.
Liu Meili, who was closest to the hill, saw Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan having so much fun in the snow, so she shook the man who was reading a newspaper and said, "Old Chen, let's go out to the hillside and play for a while too."
Chen Jiawei glanced at the thick layer of snow outside and wrapped his cotton-padded jacket tightly around him. "If you want to go, go by yourself. It's freezing cold. Who wants to play in the snow?"
Chen Jiawei is from the north. When he was a child, he experienced heavy snow and mountain closures every year. He is really not interested in snow or ice at all.
Liu Meili bit her lip and said, "You bastard! It's been a long time since you went to the grove with me. Now I ask you to go with me but you won't go, right? I don't care, you have to go with me!"
She watched Wen Nuan and Gu Qinghan having fun in the snow, sliding down the snow and having a snowball fight, and now they were making a snowman together.
The way they looked at each other seemed to be dripping with honey, which made her even more itchy.
Chen Jiawei sighed, "Isn't that because we were young before? Now it's getting worse every year. I'm afraid of the cold."
Liu Meili heard this and kicked him: "Get lost! What do I need you for?"
*
The warm laughter still attracted Sister Juxiang and Sister Guihua to come out.
Sister Guihua pulled Zhou Jianshe over with her. At first, Zhou Jianshe was reluctant to play, but seeing that his wife was eager to try, he brought a board from home and pulled her to play with him.
Sister Juxiang brought a few children over. The children had long been tired of playing in the snow. Seeing that Lele liked snowmen so much, they built a few more snowmen next to the one Gu Qinghan had built.
However, they couldn't make a pile as big as Gu Qinghan's, only a small one. But Lele was very happy to see it and kept smiling.
Wen Nuan was afraid that Le Le would get her clothes wet if she sat on the snow for too long, so she held her and looked at the snowman: "Look, this is the snowman your dad made for you, and this is the one your sister made for you, isn't it beautiful?"
Lele now half understood, and after hearing the warm words, he clapped his hands a few times and laughed, revealing a few small white teeth.
Gu Qinghan looked at Wen Nuan and the child, and a wave of happiness rose in his heart.
This was the happiest year he had ever had.
*
After returning home, Wen Nuan immediately changed the child's clothes, pants and diapers, and wiped her hair, hands and feet with warm water, fearing that the child would catch a cold.
After she cleaned Lele up, Gu Qinghan prepared a bucket of hot water for her and asked her to change her wet clothes.
After the three of them tidied themselves up, they took out last night's leftovers, reheated them, and had a simple dinner.
Maybe because they played too much in the afternoon, Lele started yawning before nine o'clock and wanted to go to sleep.
Gu Qinghan wanted to get some Chinese medicine, but he remembered Wen Nuan said that she would not eat any bitter food today, so he did not stay up and sat on the bed to read.
After a while, the man sitting by the bed looked at the child on the other side of the bed again and asked in a low voice, "Are you asleep?"
Wen Nuan sometimes feeds her baby to sleep quickly in order to make her fall asleep quickly. However, for some reason, the baby, who had closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, opened her eyes again when she heard Gu Qinghan's voice.
Wen Nuan: “Not yet.”
Gu Qinghan stood up, took out the military quilt he used in the dormitory from the box, and carried it out.
Wen Nuan heard the rustling sounds coming from the small room next door and knew that he was making the bed. Thinking about what was going to happen, her face couldn't help but turn red.
After waiting for a long time, the child finally fell asleep.
Gu Qinghan didn't ask any questions. Seeing that Lele had fallen asleep, he picked her up from the bed and carried her slowly to the small room next door. His footsteps were very low, almost inaudible.
However, Wen Nuan could hear her own heartbeat like thunder, beating wildly.
It was not until Gu Qinghan put her on the bed covered with quilts that she came back to her senses and stared blankly at the focused man in front of her.
Wen Nuan was a little embarrassed, and then she turned over and hid under the quilt. She looked at Gu Qinghan with her big watery eyes and asked, "Well, did you call home to ask?"
Gu Qinghan was not in a hurry. After getting into bed, he hugged her waist and said, "No, but I wrote them a letter."
The two were silent for a while, and before Gu Qinghan turned over, the roar of a car suddenly came from outside the door.
The sound was quite loud, as if it had driven directly to their doorstep.
Wen Nuan subconsciously looked towards the door, "Did someone drive over here?"
"yes."
Gu Qinghan got out of bed cautiously and put on his coat. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Li Daxiang's voice followed: "Deputy Captain Gu, there is a comrade who claims to be your sister. He is outside the family compound and wants to see you. Do you want to go and see her?"
