For two days in a row, Wen Nuan brought a lot of chestnuts when she came back from the kitchen.
She thought that Gu Qinghan and Liu Huaqing's parents would go to Factory 112 together, so she went to the village near the staff quarters in the past two days and exchanged a lot of chestnuts. She planned to make some chestnut cakes for them to eat on the way.
However, Gu Qinghan said that they didn't know the departure date yet, so Wen Nuan prepared some food first, and made some dry food for them the day before departure, and also sent some to Sister Guihua and Sister Juxiang.
These past few nights, Gu Qinghan had been asking for more tirelessly, and Wen Nuan was so cold that she couldn't get up every morning!
On this day, Wen Nuan was awakened by Gu Qinghan. Lele had already woken up and was sitting next to Wen Nuan playing with the hairpins that Gu Qinglan bought for her.
As soon as the little guy saw Wen Nuan woke up, he rushed over to her. His heavy little ball of flesh pressed on Wen Nuan, almost suffocating her.
Lele shouted loudly: "Mom!"
"hug!"
Although Wen Nuan was almost suffocating, she still picked up the little girl and held her in her arms.
The little fellow, with a mess of soft hair, rubbed his head against the warm shoulder: "Smells nice."
Wen Nuan hugged the child and gave him a few big kisses. She smiled and pinched the child's cheeks: "Our Lele is also very fragrant."
When the little guy heard this, he was so happy that he hugged the warm neck and laughed. But after a short while, Lele crawled back to the end of the bed and played with his beautiful little hairpins.
Gu Qinghan had been standing by the bed watching them, only to see that he was already dressed and looking radiant. When she met the man's smiling eyes warmly, she recalled everything that went crazy last night. She turned over and buried her face in the pillow, not wanting to see him.
Gu Qinghan saw her slightly red ears, so he reached out and picked her up, saying, "I'm going to the hospital in the flight team with Captain Zhou today. Doctor Li has already arranged for Doctor Zhao to perform the surgery."
Before Wen Nuan could react, she let out an "Ah" and muttered, "Captain Zhou is really willing to use a knife?"
Thinking back to the day when Zhou Jianshe heard about the operation, he was so excited. I didn't expect that Captain Zhou was really willing to do the surgery in order to have a child and for Sister Guihua.
It seems that Zhou Jianshe really cares about Sister Guihua, and he is not the kind of person who only talks but is unwilling to take practical actions.
It was worth it for Sister Guihua to follow him for more than ten years.
Gu Qinghan tidied up her messy bangs, put his chin on his wife's slender shoulders, and rubbed her cheek with a smile: "Yeah, Captain Zhou said that it was fortunate that he was the one who had to use the knife. If he had used the knife on Sister Guihua, he would rather not have the child."
Hearing this, Wen Nuan nodded approvingly: "Captain Zhou is a hero and a good husband. Sister Guihua did not choose the wrong person."
She had heard from Gu Qinglan before that she had seen a doctor in the hospital who diagnosed that the man had a problem, such as weak or dead sperm, and was infertile.
However, those men were unwilling to admit it. After hearing the doctor's diagnosis, they became angry and wanted to beat the doctor, calling him a quack and talking nonsense.
In this regard, Zhou Jianshe is not as obsessed with face as other men. He also feels sorry for Sister Guihua and does not want her to suffer.
After hearing what Wen Nuan said, Gu Qinghan clasped her waist tightly with his arms and whispered in her ear, "What about me, your husband?"
Wen Nuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Do we have to fight for this
But she still wanted to make the man happy, so she put her hand on his and said with a smile: "My Qinghan must be a great hero, a good husband, and a good father."
To be honest, Gu Qinghan really exceeded her original expectations.
The reason why he wanted to follow the army in the first place was to avoid his vampire family, and also because he didn't want to compete with Zhao Wuzhu, Gu Qingsong and the others.
In fact, before joining the army, she secretly "inspected" Gu Qinghan and felt that he was not the kind of person who would lose his temper with women or beat or scold women, so she felt safe to follow him to Beicheng.
If either one is a fire pit, it’s better not to jump.
Therefore, Wen Nuan did not treat him perfunctorily. Gu Qinghan was indeed a great hero at work and a good husband and father at home.
Compared to other men who act like the boss at home after getting home from get off work, Gu Qinghan has done a pretty good job.
I don't know if the little guy heard Wen Nuan say "Dad", but he came over specially, hugged Gu Qinghan, and shouted loudly: "Dad."
Gu Qinghan smiled contentedly, hugged his wife and children, and lowered his head to kiss them.
Wen Nuan hadn't even washed up yet, and she felt a little disgusted with herself, so she said, "Okay, let's not waste too much time, let's go see if Captain Zhou is ready."
Gu Qinghan kissed her on the forehead and said, "We're having sauerkraut noodles today. I've already cooked it in the iron pot. You can have breakfast after you wash up."
After hearing what Gu Qinghan said, Wen Nuan didn't want to stay in bed anymore. She quickly went to wash up, changed Lele's diaper into a dry one, and washed her face.
After breakfast, Wen Nuan followed Gu Qinghan to Sister Guihua's house.
Zhou Jianshe over there was still comforting Sister Guihua, telling her that this was not a major operation. Anyway, the two doctors suggested that the couple should stop having sex during this period of time while their bodies were recuperating, so they might as well just do the operation first.
Sister Guihua must have cried, her eyes were red, and the more she was coaxed, the worse she became.
However, time was of the essence, so Gu Qinghan and Zhou Jianshe did not waste any more time. They took two sets of clothes and set off.
Sister Guihua looked at Zhou Jianshe's departing back and couldn't help but complain to Wen Nuan: "I don't know if I can still use it after the operation..."
Wen Nuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and all of a sudden she couldn't find any words to comfort her.
I guess those things are cut because they are useless.
Lele, on the other hand, didn't understand anything. Seeing Sister Guihua's unhappy expression, she handed her the candy that Gu Qinglan bought for her yesterday and said, "Candy."
When Sister Guihua saw that the little girl had been holding the candy for two days and was reluctant to eat it, she actually gave it to her. She immediately smiled and said, "No need, Lele can eat it yourself."
Wen Nuan pinched the little guy's cheek and said with a smile: "Aunt Guihua's love for you is finally not in vain."
The little guy was still holding the candy in his hand and wanted to pass it to her, so Wen Nuan said, "Sister Guihua, take it quickly, Lele wants to share it with you."
Normally, this little girl is very protective of her food. Apart from warmth, she would not give anything even if Gu Qinghan asked.
Now the child is willing to share, Wen Nuan thinks it is a good thing and will continue to encourage her.
Sister Guihua looked at Lele's clean and clear big eyes, and at that moment, her heart felt as soft as a ball of cotton.
She took the candy from Lele and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lele. Sister-in-law will have some."
Wen Nuan kissed Le Le on the face and praised him, "Good boy."
The little guy Lele heard the warm praise and smiled even more brightly.
Sister Guihua looked at the two of them, her eyes suddenly moistened: "Xiao Nuan, thank you, thank you and your family."
From them, Zhang Guihua felt the love and care of her family.
She has lived in the staff housing compound for many years, but has never met anyone as kind and sincere as Wen Nuan.
Although the army emphasizes unity, there are many military wives who form their own small teams in private. They secretly form cliques and factions for the promotion of their men.
But Wen Nuan is a relatively pure person. Her circle is actually very simple, and she has never tried to please anyone on purpose. Even though Commander Xu and his wife have such a good relationship, Wen Nuan herself takes the initiative to avoid suspicion and never visits them often just because she knows the commander's wife.
Gu Qinghan is even more so. He usually looks quite aloof, but when something happens, he will be the first one to rush forward.
Although Zhou Jianshe didn't mind the fact that he had some problems, Zhang Guihua still didn't want people in the family compound to know about it, so she asked Gu Qinghan to help keep an eye on it.
Gu Qinghan agreed without hesitation and helped them.
Therefore, Zhang Guihua feels very lucky to be neighbors with Wen Nuan and others.
Wen Nuan smiled faintly: "Sister Guihua, if you say so, then I also want to thank you. If it weren't for your help, how could I work so peacefully?"
When Sister Guihua heard this, she smiled cheerfully: "Come on, come on, we have such a good relationship, why should we be polite?"
"Don't say that again!"
Zhou Jianshe followed Gu Qinghan and waited until they reached the operating room door before whispering, "Old Gu, if I can't get out of the operating room, please ask Comrade Wen Nuan to find a good man for Guihua..."
Gu Qinghan glanced at him and said calmly, "Not really."
"You don't understand." Zhou Jianshe wiped his tears silently: "From now on, I will not be a complete man."
Gu Qinghan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his words happened to be heard by Doctor Zhao, who was in charge of the operation, and he couldn't help but say, "Let's talk about it after the operation. What is a man?"
*
In the next few days, Gu Qinghan went to the hospital whenever he was free, and Zhang Guihua would sometimes go over to bring him meals.
Shen Bairong also took some time out of her busy schedule to take Liu Huaqing to visit Wen Nuan's home.
Because they were also going to leave for Factory 112 in two days, Shen Bairong came over specifically to tell Wen Nuan.
Seeing the two children getting along well with each other, Wen Nuan started chatting with Shen Bairong.
Shen Bairong watched the two children having so much fun and said, "After Hua Qing went back, there was no one to play with him. I don't know when we will meet again."
Wen Nuan knew that Shen Bairong and her colleagues were very busy with their work, and she also heard from Gu Qinghan that many experts in the 634th Institute were hiding their identities, and those who had children at home would leave them in their hometowns. There were relatively few people like Shen Bairong who had no family to support them, so there were not many children in the institute.
Wen Nuan comforted her for a few words before saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
If there had not been such a group of people who worked anonymously to build the motherland, there would have been no prosperity in the future.
Shen Bairong smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just expressing my feelings. Our Hua Qing likes you very much and keeps asking to come over and play with Lele. So I'm worried that he won't be able to find a friend in the future."
"As for Deputy Commander Gu's role as the test pilot, it wasn't actually decided by Lao Liu and I. I know what happened to Deputy Commander Gu during the Lantern Festival, and I'm sure you're also worried about his mission this time."
When Wen Nuan heard this, she knew that Shen Bairong came to her about the test pilot.
Of course she knew that this was not something that Shen Bairong and the others could decide. Gu Qinghan was chosen because he was an excellent person with rich flying experience. If it were someone else, they might not be able to serve as a test pilot.
Wen Nuan smiled and replied, "Qinghan told me that since the organization has entrusted him with such an important task, it means they trust him. I will fully support him."
She also knew the danger of this job, but as a military wife, since she could not help her man at work, at least she could not hold him back.
Moreover, this is also a critical moment for improving the organization's national defense capabilities. If she could also be a test pilot, she would do it without hesitation.
Shen Bairong nodded approvingly: "Comrade Wen, I'm glad you understand."
Lele on the other end took a candy and handed it to Liu Huaqing. The two half-grown children each held a piece of candy in their hands and smiled happily.
When Gu Qinghan came back in the evening, he also told Wen Nuan about his departure.
Wen Nuan was shelling the chestnuts she had brought back earlier. When she heard what Gu Qinghan said, she said, "I know. Comrade Shen came to tell me about it today, so I'll sort these chestnuts out now and make some chestnut biscuits for you to take with you on the road."
Gu Qinghan walked to her side and hugged her from behind: "Don't bother with that. It's not a long distance. Besides, there is a flight school over there. If I can train a few students, I can't stay there for a long time. I only go there once or twice a month."
It seemed as if Wen Nuan thought that he was going to stay away for a long time. Not only had she packed his luggage and prepared all kinds of winter and summer clothes for him, she had also given him a lot of money and various bills.
He really wanted to say that it was not necessary.
The construction, flight test, and finalization of a new fighter jet is a very long period of time, which may take at least three to five years, or at most ten years.
His main focus was on military missions, and being a test pilot was only a small part of his job.
But these are all details that show his wife's care for him, and Gu Qinghan feels warm in his heart.
Wen Nuan didn't want to hurt his feelings. These things were mainly for Liu Huaqing and the others. Besides, with so many chestnuts, she could make a lot of them. She could also make some for Sister Guihua and the others.
Wen Nuan said, "Just take it with you when the time comes, but you can't eat so much of it, or it will affect your flight. Anyway, this thing is durable, so even if you don't want to eat it, you can take it and share it with other comrades. Besides, I don't want to part with you, and I don't know how long you will be gone..."
In fact, she asked Sister Guihua and Sister Juxiang to come to her house tomorrow to make cakes together, just to sit together and chat...
But I can’t tell Gu Qinghan directly, this guy is extremely stingy.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Gu Qinghan pursed his lips and looked at her deeply with deep eyes.
Wen Nuan thought Gu Qinghan would help her sort the chestnuts, but not only did the chestnuts ignore her, but the man actually carried her to the small room.
After it was over, Wen Nuan had no energy left to peel chestnuts...
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have coaxed him just now.
snort!

The next day.
Deng Juxiang brought Xiaodong and Xiaomei to Wen Nuan's home, but she had a stern face.
After entering the house, Zhang Guihua noticed that Deng Juxiang's face was not so good, and the two children were silent and not as lively as before, so she asked her: "Juxiang, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
The man in Deng Juxiang's family has gone on a mission, and now she and her mother-in-law are taking care of their three children. However, Deng Juxiang has always gotten along well with her mother-in-law. Even if there are conflicts, they are just minor quarrels and do not affect their relationship.
Deng Juxiang put down the sugar in her hand, took the water chestnut and sedge root tea handed over by Wen Nuan, took a sip, and said angrily: "Don't say it, didn't Qinglan see bruises on Meijiao's face before? Before I came here, I happened to see her taking her child to get vaccinations, and then I knew that Zhang Zhibin, that bastard, really did hit Meijiao!"
"Meijiao didn't let me see her at first, saying that she accidentally hit her head after the lights were turned off in the army. But when I took off her hat, I realized that in addition to the bruises on her eyebrows, the upper left side of her body was covered with faint purple-blue bruises. They looked like they had been there for many days and were almost disappearing. No wonder she didn't go out for so many days and ignored me when I looked for her!"
"Do you think Zhang Zhibin is a heartless bastard? He dared to hit Meijiao, a woman who had just finished her confinement. Is he still a human being? I am so angry! And her aunt Zhang is not a good person either. She has always been biased towards her own son, saying that it was Meijiao who got angry first and that Meijiao scolded Zhang Zhibin in a very ugly way, so her son took action."
"I think that scolding him is just dirtying my mouth. I should just beat him up. What kind of man is he if he hits a woman? You bastard!"
When Sister Guihua heard this, she frowned and asked, "Is she the one who took my daughter-in-law to the kitchen to cause trouble?"
Deng Juxiang sighed: "That's right, Meijiao was only on the second day after her confinement!"
Zhang Guihua was so angry that she put her hands on her hips: "They simply don't treat me as a human being. If they treat her like this outside, how can we expect them to treat that beautiful girl well at home?"
Talking about the previous incident, Deng Juxiang became even angrier, and said angrily: "Meijiao is also a fool. She just does whatever her mother-in-law says and has no opinion of her own. And I just heard her helping Zhang Zhibin, saying that every family has its own problems. He didn't mean to do it. He just pushed me and bumped into the cabinet. She doesn't even want to fight for herself. It's futile for me to help her."
Zhang Guihua nodded: "We outsiders can't help others make decisions. Everything depends on ourselves."
After listening to Deng Juxiang's words, Wen Nuan roughly understood Chen Meijiao's attitude. It seemed that she didn't intend to pursue the matter.
As an outsider, Sister Juxiang certainly couldn't say too much, otherwise Aunt Zhang might turn the tables and accuse her of destroying the relationship between the couple.
But the bad habit of domestic violence will happen again once it happens for the first time. The abuser may even kneel down and cry bitterly to ask you to forgive him the first time.
But every time the victim tolerates and compromises, it is the beginning of the next tragedy.
The perpetrator will not change because of your generosity and tolerance. Instead, he will think you are weak and easy to deceive, and will do it again and again...
In the end, I was soft-hearted and compromised again and again, and my life was ruined by those scumbags.
Deng Juxiang drank the water with her chestnuts in one breath, smacking her lips with satisfaction, and then said, "I'd better go back and chat with Meijiao. She was crying when I came here just now. Sister Xiaonuan, I brought you some sugar to make chestnut shortbread, but I won't make them with you guys."
Deng Juxiang was about to walk out the door, but suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Wen Nuan: "Little Sister Nuan, Meijiao has always mentioned you to me before, why don't I bring her over to your side, make cakes with us and chat?"
In fact, Deng Juxiang herself didn't know how to comfort others. She had a hot temper and she would probably not be able to say more than two words of comfort. In the third word, she would even scold Chen Meijiao. By then, Chen Meijiao would probably hate her too.
But it’s different when there are a lot of people. Everyone can say something. Even if it’s not for enlightenment, it’s nice to get together and chat.
And you can eat delicious food made by Wen-Han, which makes you happier.
Wen Nuan didn't think much about it and nodded: "Sure, then go back and ask her if she is willing to come over."
Anyway, more people can help. She was worried about how long it would take to get all the chestnuts and dough.
After a while, Deng Juxiang brought Chen Meijiao over.
