Wen Nuan also planned to take a hot shower in the yard.

She and Qinglan used two pieces of cloth to casually build a "small bathroom" in the yard. Before that, they would take turns to stand guard outside every night when they took a bath.

Gu Qinghan had already helped her carry a bucket of hot water to the yard. There was still steam coming out of the bucket. Gu Qinghan had just returned to his room and changed into a clean military uniform.

You can vaguely see the solid muscle lines on his back, but Wen Nuan feels that he seems a little thinner.

Wen Nuan put the clean clothes on the prepared stool, and then said to Gu Qinghan: "You help me watch in the yard, I will wash them casually."

Gu Qinghan said "hmm", then said: "Wash slowly, I'm here."

Hearing this, Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Okay."

Before, it was just her and Qinglan with the child, and they were indeed a little scared. Even though their house was in the last row, they didn't dare to take too long to shower, and just washed off the sweat on their bodies.

This time, with Gu Qinghan at home, Wen Nuan washed more carefully.

While Wen Nuan was taking a bath, Gu Qinghan was playing hide-and-seek with Lele in the yard. The laughter of the two, one big and one small, echoed in Wen Nuan's ears. Only then did she realize how precious this ordinary laughter was.

When she came out of the shower, Lele was sweating profusely from playing again. Seeing Wen Nuan's figure, she quickly ran over and hid behind her. Then she stuck her head out and secretly looked at Gu Qinghan who was standing at the door and wanted to catch her.

Because Wen Nuan took a hot shower, her face was pink when she came out of the shower, and her big eyes were even wetter. She tied her long hair into a bun, revealing a shiny white swan neck.

Gu Qinghan stood where he was, looking at her with burning eyes, but before he could walk over, Lele screamed, then buried her head in her warm waist, kicking her little feet as if she was afraid that Gu Qinghan would come to catch her.

Wen Nuan turned her head to look at the excited Le Le and said unhappily, "Look, you are sweating again. How are you going to sleep later?"

"Stop playing. The more excited you are, the harder it is to sleep." Wen Nuan threw the clothes she needed to change into the wooden tub she had just used for a bath, then turned around and picked up Lele.

Gu Qinghan smiled and said, "Then I'll wash the clothes first, and you take Lele back to rest for a while."

When Lele heard this, he immediately rested his chin on the warm shoulder unhappily, snorted softly, and was extremely angry.

"Are you still angry? Don't you see that you are sweating and smelling? I have to help you change your clothes later." Wen Nuan said as she carried the child to the room.

Gu Qinghan watched Wen Nuan and the child go back to the house, and then washed their clothes.

When he returned to the room, Lele was drinking milk made with malted milk. When he saw Gu Qinghan coming back, he handed the milk cup to him and said, "Daddy, drink!"

Gu Qinghan looked at the little guy's milk cup, and Wen Nuan said, "It's rare that your daughter is willing to share, drink some."

He had never drunk these things before, but since Wen Nuan said so, he took the little guy's milk cup and took a small sip.

Then he handed the cup back to Lele and said, "It smells good. You can drink the rest, Lele."

When Lele heard this, he was so happy that he took the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

He also burped and patted his round belly, feeling extremely satisfied.

Seeing that she had drunk the milk, Gu Qinghan planned to coax her to sleep, but little Lele became more and more energetic, jumping around, and had no desire to sleep at all.

Wen Nuan pulled Gu Qinghan back and asked him to sit next to her, saying, "Forget it, you've been out for so long and just came back, she must want to play with you, don't rush to coax her to sleep."

Although she also wanted to be intimate with her husband, Wen Nuan had just taken a shower and was very energetic. She wanted to chat with Gu Qinghan at this moment.

Gu Qinghan said "hmm", and then heard Wen Nuan say: "Qinghan, you have lost weight."

"Not bad." Gu Qinghan met his wife's concerned eyes and smiled: "I haven't lost much weight, Li Jiashao."

Wen Nuan turned over and sat on his lap, "Let me check to see if you are injured anywhere."

As she spoke, she had already taken action and lifted up the man's clothes.

It turned out that it was not her illusion, the man was really thinner and darker.

But it doesn't matter if you're darker, because soldiers have to go through training every day and everyone's skin color is about the same.

No wonder that little guy Lele calls others dad every day...

Gu Qinghan let his wife check his body, but when Wen Nuan was about to pull his pants off, he grabbed her hand, smiled, and then put his arm around his wife's shoulders and asked, "What were you looking at just now? Did anyone write you a letter?"

Wen Nuan took the letter she had just read from the bedside table and said with a smile, "Oh, this is from Meijiao. She said she has divorced Zhang Zhibin. She has returned to Beijing and is going to work at a state-owned hotel."

Chen Meijiao said in the letter that watching Wen Nuan cook was very healing, so she also wanted to learn how to cook seriously.

Wen Nuan took out another photo from the envelope. The photo showed Chen Meijiao and her child wearing a floral skirt and a white shirt.

Compared with her previous image in the family compound, Chen Meijiao in the photo seems to have been reborn. Whether it is the clothes she wears or the spirit and temperament on her face, she is much more confident and beautiful.

And the smile on her face became even brighter. It was no longer a forced smile, but a smile that came from the heart.

Gu Qinghan looked at the smile on Wen Nuan's face and asked, "Who is taking care of Comrade Chen's child now?"

Wen Nuan refolded the letter and put it back in the envelope before saying, "Mei Jiao said her mother helped take care of the child. Mei Jiao thought that divorce would bring shame to her parents, so she didn't dare to go back to her parents' family compound. But she was obviously overthinking it. Her parents wanted her and the child to live in the family compound. Both old people miss her very much."

"Meijiao's mother just retired, and her eldest brother's two sons have grown up. Now there is a younger sister in the family, and everyone is very happy."

Gu Qinghan listened to Wen Nuan carefully, tidied her long black hair, and said, "That's good. Comrade Chen's life will definitely be better than here."

Wen Nuan said, "Hmm," "I believe she will live a better life."

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Gu Qinghan coming closer and seemed to be smelling her hair, so she said, "Stop smelling it, it probably smells already. I didn't have time to wash my hair today, I washed it last night."

If Gu Qinglan hadn't helped during this period, Wen Nuan would not even have time to wash her hair if she had to take care of the child by herself.

Moreover, when working in the cafeteria, even if you don't help with cooking, there is still a lot of smoke.

Wen Nuan was planning to find time to cut her hair shorter so that it wouldn't be so difficult to wash her hair.

Gu Qinghan's face was calm, and he smiled and said, "No, it smells good."

Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Is it the smell of meat or vegetables?"

Gu Qinghan met his wife's eyes and held her tighter in his arms: "Your fragrance has a very special smell."

“…” How come Wen Nuan doesn’t know that she smells good

Lele on the other side suddenly jumped on the bed with a loud bang. Wen Nuan quickly pulled her down, sat on the bed, and scolded, "Gu Wanyue, this bed is really going to collapse because of you jumping. Let's see where you will sleep tomorrow night."

Lele even broke free from her grip, turned her back to the two of them, bent over, looked at them from between her legs, and laughed loudly.

Seeing that the child was still so energetic, Gu Qinghan immediately got out of bed, took out another large bag from his luggage bag, and handed it to Wen Nuan.

"I bought it for you, take a look."

Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment, then took the bag from Gu Qinghan and asked, "What are these?"

Gu Qinghan said mysteriously: "You will know if you take a look for yourself."

After hearing Gu Qinghan's mysterious words, Wen Nuan couldn't wait to open the bag. What she saw was a bright red fabric with green dots on it.

Red and green are indeed a "divine color combination".

She hesitated for half a second, then pulled out the red and green fabrics and took a closer look.

This is Dacron fabric which is not yet widely used. In the family compound, Wen Nuan has seen only a few people who have it, and the number can be counted on ten fingers.

She never thought that Gu Qinghan bought it for her and Lele.

But…

But this pattern is too old-fashioned, isn’t it

In addition to two adult skirts, there is also a smaller dress of similar pattern in the bag.

Well, I didn’t expect that the skirt that Gu Qinghan bought for little Lele is even prettier than hers!

Gu Qinghan caught the surprise on Wen Nuan's brows and said, "See if you like it."

Listening to Gu Qinghan's suffocating question, Wen Nuan tried hard to squeeze out a little smile and asked: "Did you pick all these yourself?"

Gu Qinghan nodded without hesitation: "Well, the salesperson said that people with fair skin look good in red, but I was afraid that red would be too monotonous, so I chose one with some other colors."

Thank you, red is too monotonous!

But you shouldn’t choose red and green! !

Wen Nuan suppressed her anger and roared a few times in her heart. She tried hard to keep a smile on her face and echoed, "Red does make your skin look whiter."

Even though Gu Qinghan was slow, he noticed that the warm smile was a bit forced, so he asked, "Is it... that you don't like it?"

Hearing this, Wen Nuan turned around and looked at Gu Qinghan, smiling, "How could that be? I like it so much! This is made of Dacron. Did you go to the provincial capital to buy it? It must be very expensive!"

My warm heart is bleeding. How can I not feel sad when I can't wear such expensive clothes

The man smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I went to the provincial capital. I happened to pass by on my way to Qiongzhou Island, so I bought it for you. Don't worry, it's worth it no matter how expensive it is."

Wen Nuan said distressedly: "Why don't you buy one for yourself? You don't have to buy one for me in the future."

This aesthetic is really not commendable.

The next second, Wen Nuan heard the man say, "My food and clothes are all provided by the army, so I don't need them. I will buy them for you and Le Le in the future."

Wen Nuan twitched her lips and almost broke down. Seeing Lele running towards her, she quickly reached out and pulled her over, then said, "Lele, this is the new skirt that Daddy bought you. Take a look and see if you like it."

Wen Nuan deliberately put the red and green skirt on Lele, compared them, and then said: "Wow, our Lele likes this skirt, right? You have the same taste as your father!"

The little girl particularly likes colorful things, and this skirt just happened to catch her eye. She stood up with the skirt in her hand, trying it on herself, and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Wen Nuan took the opportunity to ask, "Le Le, do you like it?"

Lele answered loudly: "I like it!"

Wen Nuan turned her head and looked at Gu Qinghan, smiling very sincerely: "Look how much your daughter likes it. I can't bear to wear it. I will alter it and make two more skirts for her when the time comes."

"… "

Gu Qinghan frowned. Why did he have the illusion that he was disliked

Facing the man's dark eyes, Wen Nuan blinked and quickly took back the skirt that Le Le had been playing with. She smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't give it to her. I will keep this skirt well!"

Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows: "Really like it?"

Although Gu Qinghan was usually nice to her, he was actually quite petty. Although she knew he was not really angry, his little tricks of "revenge" could easily make her weak.

Wen Nuan didn't want to be unable to get out of bed tonight, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Of course, I'll try to show you now!"

Seeing that Wen Nuan was really going to change clothes, Gu Qinghan's expression eased a lot. He pulled Wen Nuan's wrist and said, "No need. As long as you like it."

When Lele, who was sitting in the bedroom, saw the new dress, she shouted in dissatisfaction, "I want to wear it."

Wen Nuan curled her lips and said unhappily, "Go to bed quickly, why are you still wearing it!"

When Lele heard this, she folded her hands and started to get angry again. She just inherited her father’s temper!

Wen Nuan said to Gu Qinghan: "Go and coax her."

Gu Qinghan has not been home for more than a month, and Wen Nuan has long wanted to let go. It's a rare occasion that her husband comes home, so she lets him have fun with her daughter.

Who knew that Gu Qinghan would put the bright red and green skirt directly on Lele, and Lele turned around happily.

Wen Nuan saw that even a cute little girl like Lele couldn't handle this skirt. What should she do

Just as she was racking her brains to think of how to pass the skirt to Lele as a family heirloom, Gu Qinghan came over.

As if to take credit, he said, "Wife, the child is asleep."

Wen Nuan met Gu Qinghan's meaningful gaze and her face turned red. "So fast?"

"How can it be fast?" Gu Qinghan suddenly picked her up from the bed and said in a hoarse voice: "I've been waiting for the whole night!"

As he said that, he pressed his big thing, which was as hard as an iron pillar, against her round butt.

Wen Nuan felt as if an electric current was running through her body. She couldn't deny that she missed this man very much, so she raised her head slightly and kissed him on the chin.

"I miss you too, Qinghan."

Gu Qinghan bit his back teeth hard, carried the person in his arms and walked quickly to the small room next door, not forgetting to pick up the skirt he bought for her.

What is this used for

Wen Nuan never expected that Gu Qinghan would be so cruel as to ask her to change into a new dress...

It's so ugly.

It's a good thing he could think of it.

*

The next morning, Wen Nuan woke up in the big room. Gu Qinghan was no longer there.

When she woke up, Lele was already sitting in the bed drinking milk, and she was sweating profusely. Wen Nuan took a towel from the bedside and wiped her.

After finishing the milk in the cup, I was about to throw the cup under the bed...

Fortunately, Wen Nuan was quick to catch the milk cup and put it on the bedside table.

Just by turning over, Wen Nuan felt sore in the waist and weak in the legs.

A short absence is better than a new marriage, the ancients were right.

Wen Nuan picked up the little one who had finished drinking milk and said, "Le Le, don't throw things anymore!"

"oh."

So pitiful.

After Lele had eaten and drunk his fill, he rested in the warm arms for a while, but soon became excited again, got up by himself, and walked back and forth in the room.

Wen Nuan was so shocked by her that she couldn't fall asleep, and her stomach was growling with hunger, so she simply got up and had breakfast.

Gu Qinghan must have heard some noise in the room and then walked in from the living room.

Seeing Wen Nuan getting ready, the man said, "Didn't you say that there's a recruitment exam for the cafeteria today and we don't have to go there so early?"

When Wen Nuan saw this man, she remembered the madness of last night. She didn't want to pay attention to him so she said unhappily, "I'm hungry."

She didn't know how late she went crazy last night. If she hadn't been exhausted, she really wanted to have a midnight snack before going to bed!

But Gu Qinghan seemed to be fine, still as vigorous as ever!

The man smiled and handed her a coat. "It's cooler in the morning and evening, put it on."

"No need to wear it. The sun will come out soon and it's not so cold now." Wen Nuan stood up from the bed. Lele, who was lying on the bed, didn't know whether she thought she was going to play hide-and-seek with her again, so she ran around like crazy on the bed.

However, before he could run a few steps, the bed frame, which was not very stable to begin with, suddenly made a "crackling" sound, as if one of the bed boards had broken.

Then one of the legs of the bed suddenly fell down, and the bed board above it tilted towards the broken leg...

"Le Le, be careful—" Wen Nuan wanted to answer it, but her hands couldn't reach the person inside.

Gu Qinghan was quick to act. When the bed board fell, he held Lele firmly in his arms and said, "Be careful!"

The little girl hadn't reacted to what was happening yet. When Gu Qinghan picked her up, she put her arms around his neck tightly and shouted, "Daddy!"

The first thing Gu Qinghan and Wen Nuan did was to carefully check Lele in their arms. They breathed a sigh of relief when they found that fortunately she was not hurt.

Finally, I looked at the collapsed wooden bed...

There was just a puddle of water on it, which was suspected to be Gu Mouyue's bed-wetting map, and it was very obvious.

Gu Qinghan and the child seemed to have done something wrong and didn't say anything. They just looked at Wen Nuan, waiting for her to speak.

Wen Nuan met the looks of the father and daughter and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did they think she was going to curse

However, this bed seemed to have had problems for a long time. In addition, Gu Qinglan often liked to play with Lele on the bed some time ago, and it could no longer bear the weight. Fortunately, it broke when Gu Qinghan came back, otherwise she would not be able to fix it by herself.

Wen Nuan snorted, then pinched Le Le's cheek and said, "Gu Wan Yue, you are good at it. Your urine even collapsed the bed."

The little guy seemed to know that he had done something wrong. He quickly hugged the warm neck, squeezed out two tears, and cried pitifully: "Mom, I'm scared."

I'm not afraid of anything.

Wen Nuan had just seen her smiling at the collapsed bed!

Gu Qinghan also thought Wen Nuan was going to get angry, but after hearing what she said, he breathed a sigh of relief along with Lele: "It's okay, I'll just find some nails and hammer them in."

Wen Nuan thought about it and said, "The weather has been good recently, so why not take this opportunity to make a bed?"

In winter, if Gu Qinghan had to go out on a mission, she wouldn't have to worry about the cold even if she and Lele slept alone.

Gu Qinghan glanced at Wen Nuan and said, "Making a bed? Will you let me hold you while sleeping even if you make a bed?"

"… "

You know how to look for opportunities.

Wen Nuan gave him a displeased look and said, "Let's fix the kang first."

Then, Wen Nuan slapped Le Le's butt again for wetting the bed, and said, "After your dad makes the kang, you are not allowed to jump on it, little guy. Do you understand?"

The little guy had no idea what it meant, but he could sense the warm emotion and knew she was angry, so he nodded obediently.

Gu Qinghan suddenly felt that the bed was broken at an inopportune time, and pinched Lele's cheek: "It's all your fault. You broke the bed."

However, Gu Qinghan packed up and went to the quartermaster's office to get some stones and bricks. He also asked Erhu and Li Daxiang to come and help, intending to make the kang before returning to the team.

Wen Nuan was thinking about helping, but Gu Qinghan said, "Didn't you say that sister-in-law Juxiang is going to take the cooking class exam today? You don't have to watch here, take Lele to see the fun."

Wen Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I've made you some mint water and some mung bean cakes on the eight-immortal table. Remember to drink more water later, okay?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

Wen Nuan went back to her room and changed into a skirt. When she walked out of the yard, Gu Qinghan frowned.

This is not the one he bought.

Wen Nuan smiled, looked at the white floral dress on her body, and explained: "This was sent to me by Meijiao two days ago."

Gu Qinghan said "Oh" without any expression.

Wen Nuan smiled: "Then I'll go first."

Li Daxiang and Erhu, who had just pushed a cart of bricks over, looked at Wen Nuan's back.

My sister-in-law is so beautiful.

Gu Qinghan let out a light sigh and immediately felt that the skirt he bought was not pretty. No wonder Wen Nuan had that expression on her face last night.

This warm body looks good.

*

The news of the collapsed wooden bed in Wen Nuan's home spread throughout the family compound in a short while, and everyone also knew that Deputy Captain Gu, who had been on a mission for nearly two months, had returned to the family compound last night.

Unexpectedly, after a short separation, the couple actually broke the bed.

Still young after all.

Today happened to be the day when Sister Juxiang went to take the last exam for the recruitment of the kitchen team. Wen Nuan brought Lele and Sister Guihua to accompany her, wanting to cheer her up.

Sister Guihua couldn't hide the smile on her face and asked cryptically, "Sister Xiao Nuan, is your bed collapsed?"

Wen Nuan nodded, and before she could hear the ambiguous tone of Guihua's sister-in-law, she said, "We were originally planning to build a kang, and now it's just right while the weather is hot. The bed was not very stable before."

Sister Juxiang covered her mouth and smiled, "It seems that your deputy group leader Gu is really capable."

The young couple had been separated for two months, and when they came back they broke the bed. This was the first time in the family compound that this happened.

The military wives must be so envious!

Sister Juxiang suddenly missed her youth. Alas, it’s not possible now…

"Yes." Wen Nuan remained calm. "After the bed collapsed, Qinghan went to the quarters to get the materials. Now he's at home with Daxiang and Erhu. It should be fixed in half a day."

Wen Nuan wanted to help, but Gu Qinghan said that there was no one to take care of Lele, and she happened to be accompanying sister-in-law Juxiang to take an exam today, so she decided to take Lele with her to see the fun.

Wen Nuan boiled a big pot of mint water for them and prepared some mung bean cakes before coming out.

The two sisters-in-law smiled, and Sister Guihua said, "You still have to be young. After my husband Zhou had surgery, he can now do it for half an hour at a time. But I don't know if it's because of the surgery. Once a day is considered a lot now."

“???” Wen Nuan paused. Are they talking about the same topic

Sister Juxiang snorted, "You don't know what some men say, saying that menstruation before marriage is a stumbling block, and menstruation after marriage is a lifesaver, and asking them to do it once is like a mission."

Sister Guihua widened her eyes with curiosity and asked Sister Juxiang, "Is your old Feng like this?"

Sister Juxiang smiled and said, "Not really."

Then she looked at Wen Nuan and said, "But they are definitely not as loving as Xiao Nuan and Deputy Head Gu. How can we compare at our age?"

Wen Nuan looked at Lele in her arms. If the little guy wasn't as ignorant as she was, she would definitely cover the child's ears.

This topic is too inappropriate for children.

Wen Nuan tried hard to force a smile and explained, "Actually, Le Le was jumping on the bed that morning and made it collapse."

She swore that it was the truth!

Sisters Guihua and Juxiang looked at Wen Nuan and nodded: "I understand."

warmth:"… "

You don't seem to understand what I mean!

However, Wen Nuan didn't have time to explain so much and soon came to the kitchen.

Although the kitchen team only recruited two employees this time, the wives of soldiers who were family members still racked their brains to get the job in the cafeteria.

Although it is an exam, it is actually not very difficult. After all, this is not a recruitment for technical talents.

The first test is literacy. Although working in the cafeteria is heavy work, literacy is still very important. For most people in this era who do not receive universal education, literacy is a very critical assessment.

The second one is to recognize the dish...

Because in the spring, the cooking team in the army often has to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and they have to know which ones can be eaten and which ones cannot be eaten.

In winter, there are not many varieties of vegetables in the north city, and sometimes they have to be transported here, so it is also important to know more about vegetables.

Sister Juxiang has passed the first two rounds of exams, and the last one is cooking.

Although the people who cook in the kitchen squad are all soldiers in the army, if there is an emergency, they have to ask others to take over, so cooking does not require good cooking skills, but at least you have to know how to cook.

Wen Nuan asked Sister Guihua to make a vegetarian dumpling today. Considering that meat is not eaten so often in this era, even in the army canteen meat is in short supply, so it is better to make some different dishes with the ingredients than to make a meat dish.

Many family members who came to compete for the canteen jobs began to whisper when they saw Wen Nuan coming.

"Deng Juxiang has Wen Nuan as her advisor. It seems she will definitely be able to join the kitchen team."

"Who told you not to please them? Maybe you can get in."

"I want to, too, but Comrade Wen Nuan is stubborn. You know that she rejected all the candy and meat Huang Yueying gave her before."

"Anyway, I definitely won't be getting the job this time."

There was another group of people who were discussing the collapsed bed in Wen Nuan's house. Wen Nuan could probably guess what they were talking about.

Although it was not Gu Qinghan who collapsed the bed, her husband did have the ability to do so.

It was because the bed incident happened to happen when her husband returned from his hometown, so I'm afraid this matter can't be clarified.

The quartermaster and the squad leader of the logistics kitchen were already ready, so Wen Nuan said to Sister Juxiang, "Sister Juxiang, don't be nervous. This vegetarian dumpling is very simple. Just use your usual skills."

Deng Juxiang actually came here with the mentality of focusing on participation. After all, she had been idle in the family compound for so many years, so it didn't matter to her whether she could find a job or not.

Of course, it would be great if you could find a job.

It’s a cafeteria that everyone envies, and you’ll wake up smiling even when you’re asleep.

Seeing so many people coming to take the exam, Sister Guihua asked Wen Nuan in a low voice: "Sister Nuan, are vegetarian dumplings really okay? I saw that others have prepared pork."

Wen Nuan smiled and asked, "Sister Guihua, how many times have you eaten pork in the cafeteria?"

Sister Guihua thought for a moment and said, "Not many meals."

"That's it." Wen Nuan glanced at Le Le who was looking around, and seeing that she was still quite calm, she said, "Isn't it better to cook vegetarian dishes in different ways than to cook meat?"

Sister Guihua thought what Wen Nuan said made sense: "That's true."

Suddenly, a young girl poked her head over and asked, "Are you Comrade Wen Nuan?"

Wen Nuan felt like she had never seen this kind of person before, but those who could appear here should all be family members, so she nodded: "I am, who are you?"

The young girl smiled and said, "It's okay. I just listened to what you said and thought it made some sense, so I just asked. My name is Yang Xiaomei, and I'm the sister of the head of the 64th Regiment."

"You are so beautiful! I also want to join the kitchen team and work with you!"

Wen Nuan smiled. Although she didn't know this girl, she had a good impression of her, so she smiled and said, "Good luck to you."

The exam began soon. Although it was not formal, all the examinees were very nervous.

Wen Nuan also noticed that Liu Meili and Huang Yueying both came to participate. It seemed that many people really wanted to work in the kitchen.

Sister Guihua was peeling melon seeds for Lele. The little guy ate with gusto and didn't make any trouble. He sat on her warm lap, waiting obediently for Sister Guihua to feed him.

Every time Lele ate a melon seed, he would smile and say to Sister Guihua, "Thank you."

Seeing this, Sister Guihua's heart softened and she said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite to Auntie? If there's anything delicious, give it to us, Lele."

Lele has now learned to share, so she took off the small hairpin on her head and handed it to Sister Guihua: "Here."

"Hahaha, auntie can't have this. Auntie is not a child anymore." Sister Guihua took the hairpin handed to her by Lele, pinned it back on her head, and said with a smile: "Come, auntie will pin it back for you. Lele looks really good with this hairpin."

Lele clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It looks good!"

Wen Nuan pinched the little guy's face: "You are so conceited!"

Sister Guihua helped her and whispered to Lele: "We are not conceited. Our Lele is really beautiful."

After waiting for about half an hour, the exam was finally over, but the list was not announced so soon. The quartermaster said it would be announced through the radio tomorrow.

When everyone was preparing to go home, the quartermaster suddenly walked towards Wen Nuan and asked Li Jia: "Comrade Wen, I heard that Deputy Commander Gu is back?"

Wen Nuan thought he was going to talk about something in the cafeteria, but who knew he was asking about Gu Qinghan.

She nodded: "Well, he is at home now. Do you have anything to do with him, Quartermaster? Do you want me to pass the message to him?"

The quartermaster waved his hand and laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, let him have a good rest, I'm just asking."

After saying that, the quartermaster smiled and took the squad leader away.

warmth:"?"

Sister Juxiang's hands were sweaty. She sighed, "Oh my God, it's finally over. Why does it feel like finding a job is harder than taking exams for school?"

Sister Guihua smiled and said, "This shows that I value you and want to be fair and just."

Sister Juxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Yes, if I were allowed to join the kitchen team, I would feel quite proud."

After all, this is the job opportunity she got after passing numerous exams!

*

Not long after returning home, Gu Qinglan also came over from the infirmary.

As soon as I entered their house, I asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I heard that your bed collapsed. Is it true?"

Gu Qinglan even looked towards their room with great curiosity, with an expression that almost read "watch a show".

Wen Nuan knocked her head unhappily and said, "Your elder brother and Da Xiang are still making the bed in there. What's so interesting about that?"

"It really collapsed?" Gu Qinglan shouted in a loud voice, almost calling everyone in the next room over.

Then he gave a thumbs up and widened his eyes: "Brother is awesome."

Wen Nuan snorted, then patiently explained again: "It was Le Le who made the bed fall down and peed all over it!"

"real?"

Wen Nuan twisted her arm and scolded, "Go ask that little Le Le and see if she was the one who broke the bed by jumping!"

Gu Qinglan blinked, obviously not believing it.

I didn't expect my sister-in-law to use such a childish excuse and even said it was Lele who danced? !

After a while, Gu Qinglan walked into their warm room to see if there was anything she could do to help.
