The day Gu Sheng came back was sunny and there was no rain. It was hot and humid during the rainy season. He hurried into the yard in a neat and straight military uniform.
No one at home knew he was coming back today.
Zhan Mingzhao was the first to notice him: "Brother-in-law!? You're back."
Gu Sheng nodded without saying anything. Thinking about his wife, he walked into the house with long legs.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Gu Xiangyi say in surprise: "Brother, you're back!"
As soon as Gu Xiangyi finished speaking, two small cannonballs were fired from behind the door. Sweet and sour pork and small tangyuan each hugged one leg and they looked up at their father.
Gu Sheng held them in his arms, and his body suddenly grew taller. Little Tangyuan blinked his big, watery eyes, and Gu Sheng's figure was reflected in his pupils. He said in a baby voice, "Dad!"
"Dad!!" The voice of Sweet and Sour Pork was even louder.
Gu Sheng said: "Take dad to see your mother."
"receive!"
The brother and sister said in unison. They quickly broke free from their father's arms and couldn't wait to act as messengers, running and shouting, "Mom, Dad is back!"
Zhan Aiping in the bedroom said, "I know, I know. With such a big commotion, it's hard for Mom not to know—"
"Wife." As if in just a blink of an eye, the man appeared out of nowhere and sat beside the bed, staring at her. The brim of his hat slightly covered his forehead, revealing a handsome face with cold and hard lines underneath.
Zhan Aiping's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously. The strange yet familiar breath of the man instantly enveloped her, making her feel a little uncomfortable, even though they were clearly an old couple.
I haven't seen a certain man for a while. He has become darker and seems to have become more handsome.
He is already over 30 years old and a father of three children, but he is still a playboy.
Gu Sheng leaned over and kissed her on the face. Comrade Xiao Zhan got angry and she pushed his face away: "You are still kissing me even though I am like this. You are really hungry and will do anything."
During the confinement period, even Zhan Aiping herself disliked herself.
Gu Sheng came closer and said with a smile, "I don't dislike my wife."
Zhan Aiping: "You are the one who is suffering from poverty, I despise you!"
"You, my wife, are so awkward." Gu Sheng picked up his little daughter. The little marshmallow, who was still in the cradle, was very well-behaved and not afraid of strangers. She grinned when she saw her father for the first time.
"Comrade Youyou, Comrade Yuanyuan, Captain Gu has a few questions for you - has mom missed dad during this period? If you answer well, dad will personally make you something delicious..."
Zhan Aiping's forehead was covered with a "well" character: "Don't say it, don't say it, Comrade Gu, coercion and bribery are not allowed in the organization!"
Unfortunately, her words didn't work. The two little guys raised their hands and answered enthusiastically:
"I've thought about it. After Dad passed away, Mom no longer likes to smile. She's so hard to coax."
"There was a picture of Dad on the table just now, but now it's gone."
"Look! Mom is blushing!"
The voices that came one after another made Zhan Aiping angry: "You little traitors, it's boring. This family is boring. You are all traitors."
"Two little spies."
Gu Sheng smiled and pinched her face: "You are still stubborn, wife, I will make you some old duck soup later."
Zhan Aiping rejected it outright, “I won’t eat it!”
Gu Sheng smiled gently and kissed her lips, "Wife, I'll make you something delicious."
Zhan Aiping: “…”
Well, I'll bow down for a meal.
"Hurry up!"
Gu Sheng went to take a shower, change clothes and cook. The two followers followed him, running around and telling stories to their mother.
"Mom, Dad has finished his bath!"
"Mom, there's a picture of you in Dad's clothes!"
"Mother… "
Zhan Aiping thought that her children were really shameless and were trying to have the best of both worlds.
Gu Xiangyi said from the side: "Sister-in-law, your family has two little warriors, it's really lively."
I wish she could give birth to twins like this in the future.
Zhan Aiping said: "These two little red and blue warriors are sometimes red and sometimes blue."
A fence-sitter, leaning to both sides.
Xiao Tangyuan said: "We will always follow the leadership of Dean Zhan."
Sweet and sour pork: "President Zhan's instructions are the highest instructions."
Zhan Aiping: “…” Two little flatterers, so hypocritical.
Will there be three in the future
These three can form a party group.

A few days after Gu Sheng came back, he found a way to take a half-month leave to accompany his wife, and Zhan Aiping's confinement period also began to be extended.
With the experience of raising two children, it was much easier for the couple to raise just a baby this time. The baby is as soft and tender as a marshmallow and doesn’t cry or make a fuss at night, so he is very easy to raise.
"Our children are so well behaved." Zhan Aiping couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Sheng said: "Isn't it good as you wish?"
Zhan Aiping said: "I just find it unbelievable."
Why are these two naughty children so quiet and well-behaved
"Our little Cotton looks so well-behaved and soft. She was making a fuss in my belly before and I thought she was a little naughty, but she turned out to be so quiet after she was born."
"Comrade Gu, we have two daughters. I'm really worried that they will be bullied by other men after they get married."
Gu Sheng: “…” My daughter is stronger than her brother.
Zhan Aiping sighed: "I would rather marry someone than a soldier."
Gu Sheng: "!? Regret it?"
"Yeah, I feel so wronged." Giving birth is the most undignified, weakest and most painful time, and you especially need your husband to be by your side.
Gu Sheng smiled and hugged her into his arms: "Then don't let your daughter marry a soldier."
Zhan Aiping: "I haven't done it myself, so I won't force my daughter to do it."
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "President Zhan makes all the decisions in our family."
"My daughter's marriage is up to you."
Zhan Aiping shook her head: "I don't want to marry my daughter off. Hurry up. If you become a division commander or army commander, our daughter will definitely have no trouble finding a husband. She can take her time choosing."
Gu Sheng: "... I try hard."
Zhan Aiping smiled and patted his face: "Being a father means setting a good example."
"If you have time these days, go show off in front of Captain Luo and his wife, so that they won't think you're going to change your attitude just because I gave birth to a daughter."
Zhan Aiping was still unable to see the little thoughts of Zhang Lirong next door and judged others by herself.
Gu Sheng: "This couple is really."
"I'll take Yuanyuan to dance for him to see."
*
Zhang Lirong had been looking forward to the return of Gu Sheng next door, but unexpectedly he had a daughter and was still smiling happily.
Gu Sheng carried his eldest daughter to wander in front of Captain Luo. Little Tangyuan hugged her father's neck, popped her little head out from his broad shoulders, and said to Captain Luo in a coquettish voice: "Uncle Luo, do you want to see me dance?"
Little Tangyuan likes to call him Uncle Luo because it sounds like a little radish, but his parents tell him not to call him Uncle Luo.
Gu Sheng just felt that his hands were a little itchy. He tried his best to suppress his hands to prevent himself from forcibly pressing his daughter's head. Really, as a steel man who had served in the army for more than ten years, he really couldn't stand this sound.
His own daughter, Tangyuan, speaks in a particularly artificially sweet voice. She is obviously better at fighting than her brother. She has a reckless and naive personality, but she just loves to act coquettishly and in a babyish voice.
If the child's mother called him in such a coquettish voice, he could -
Gu Sheng hugged his daughter Xiao Tangyuan tightly with a cold face.
My daughter has developed this coquettish and spoiled personality at such a young age, all thanks to her mother Zhan Aiping, because Comrade Zhan just likes this kind of thing.
She liked her daughter to speak in a coquettish voice and act coquettishly to her. As long as her little daughter acted coquettishly, Comrade Xiao Zhan would be like a tyrant emperor who was deceived by his treacherous concubine.
His wife Da Pingping thought that everyone would like a daughter who loves to act coquettishly, so she let him take his daughter to show off in front of Captain Luo and make him envious.
but…
Gu Sheng felt from the bottom of his heart that a man like Captain Luo, who had been in the army for more than ten years like himself, would definitely not like a little girl who spoke in a pretentious and coquettish manner.
Gu Sheng pinched Xiao Tangyuan's face and said perfunctorily: "Look, my daughter is cute, isn't she?"
"Meow meow meow—" Little Tangyuan held his face and imitated the meowing sounds a few times.
Her mother loves to hear her imitate the cat's meow! She imitates it so well!
Gu Sheng couldn't help but show disgust on his face: "..."
Captain Luo: “…”
Captain Luo glanced at Gu Sheng, whose face was as cold as ice and brows were slightly wrinkled. When Captain Gu talked about his daughter, he didn't seem to be showing off intentionally. The little girl in his arms looked 30% like Gu Sheng, with playful braids, a fair and tender face, cherry-red lips, and a very sweet voice. The words she said were so sweet that people could hear her.
Yes... kind of cute!
