In 1997, there was a military competition abroad. Lu Cheng led his team to participate as the captain. Except for the three members of his special team, the others were the best selected from several major military regions.
"Captain, I heard that the medical team accompanying us this time is very pretty, and one of them is so pretty!"
"Fuck, those foreigners are here to ask her name too."
The man who was talking to Lu Cheng was a 1.73 meter tall man named Sun Jingui. He was not tall and his name sounded feminine, but one should never underestimate him. He was among the top three in fighting competitions many times. He was a bit stubborn and could get easily startled.
Lu Cheng was not interested in the beautiful medical staff he mentioned until he saw the beautiful woman with the red cross symbol tied on her hand.
Gu Yuan said calmly with a blank expression: "Hello, Captain Gou, I am here to participate in the competition as well."
Sun Jingui: "Captain Gou? Our captain's last name is not Gou."
Gu Yuan: "Before he joined the army, his name was 'Guozhe'. I knew him."
Sun Jingui's eyes widened: "???!!! Really?"
He actually knew the captain's big secret
"Captain Gou, isn't that right?"
Lu Cheng didn't say anything, nor did he refute her.
During the rest of the race, Gu Yuan did not say another word to him until it was over and the pictures were taken. She looked at the pictures in her hands and thought about the several group pictures she had seen of her parents when she was a child.
The photos used to be in black and white, but now they are all in color, which is very beautiful.
Before leaving, Lu Cheng gave her a box. Gu Yuan opened it and found many handkerchiefs inside. Gu Yuan: "..."
She suppressed her urge to curse and patiently counted the number of them. She thought, if she could count them clearly, she would buy a hundred times as many handkerchiefs to hit him to death.
When she counted to the fifth one, she was suddenly attracted by a shiny object. It was a silver diamond ring with a very large diamond, the size of a pigeon egg, hidden in the pile of handkerchiefs like trash.
Gu Yuan held the diamond ring in her hand and deliberately asked him, "Do you want me to help you propose to a girl? Didn't you say you didn't want to get married?"
"Yeah." Lu Cheng nodded: "I changed my mind."
"Please help me propose to her. I'm afraid she won't agree."
Gu Yuan: “…”
At this time, Lu Cheng suddenly grabbed her hand and put the diamond ring on her ring finger. Gu Yuan struggled to pull her hand out, but found that she could not break free from the bear-like man in front of her.
The diamond ring was on her hand.
Lu Cheng: "I heard that putting on the diamond ring means that you have agreed to the proposal."
Gu Yuan: "You, you are using bandit logic!!!"
"Where are you kneeling? Where are the roses? Where are the balloons?!!! You have nothing, why are you proposing?"
Gu Yuan glared at him fiercely, and looking at the diamond ring in her hand, she felt angry, but more embarrassed, and a little bit sweet.
When Lu Cheng gave her the handkerchief just now, she was actually a little embarrassed. The handkerchief that Lu Cheng gave her back then had been lost by her over the years.
Now she will definitely keep these small handkerchiefs wrapped with diamond rings carefully.
Lu Cheng: "... Take it off and I'll start over."
Gu Yuan kicked him directly, leaving her footprints on his black combat boots. "You put them on and then took them off. Are you a man?"
She said fiercely: "Buy another diamond ring!"
Lu Cheng said cautiously: "After this is over, I will have a half-year vacation, you can propose in any way you want."
Now Gu Yuan was happy, and thought that she must give him a good beating this time.
Lu Cheng was very honest: "I also bought ten diamond rings, all of which are for you, one for each day."
Comrade Xiao Lu did not expect to succeed the first time. The diamond ring hidden in the handkerchief was just a scout. If Gu Yuan did not open it to take a look, the second diamond ring would have to be used.
The men of the Lu family decided to go for quantity from the very beginning.
Gu Yuan: “…”
"You... My mom said diamond rings won't be worth much in the future."
Lu Cheng said: "I have made a lot of money over the years, I will give it all to you."
Gu Yuan said bluntly: "Give me all your savings. My dad said that after marriage, the wife is in charge of the money."
Lu Cheng nodded and handed over all his property honestly. Not only did he have savings, he also had a lot of assets in his name. Some of them were purchased by himself, and some were left to him by his parents. As an only child, his grandfather was a figure who appeared in history books. He had never worried about money since he was a child.
Gu Yuan unceremoniously confiscated his assets and ran to Zhan Aiping and said, "Lu Cheng said he would give me all his money, so I decided to marry him!"
"Mom, look, this marriage is not a loss. I will be a rich woman in the future."
Zhan Aiping: “…”
She was speechless as she watched her daughter act as if she was trying to cover up her mistake by saying "I'm getting married for money" in front of her.
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Sheng and said, "Dad, look at why my mom is silent."
Gu Sheng: "Your mother must be thinking about something. She is wondering whether she should expose you for waiting for someone to propose to you for so many years."
Gu Yuan: “!!!!”
Zhan Aiping said: "You are finally getting married. Mom is very happy."
Gu Yuan suddenly couldn't hold back and hugged Zhan Aiping and burst into tears. She felt very wronged and sobbed, "Why didn't he just die outside?"
"Die sooner so I can marry someone else sooner."
Zhan Aiping hugged her and said with a smile: "Don't say discouraging words, just marry the one you love."
"Mom, what if we don't get along after we get married?"
Zhan Aiping: "Divorce."
Gu Yuan: "What if I become a widow?"
Zhan Aiping: "My parents are here."
Gu Yuan talked a lot to her biological mother. She had some pre-marital anxiety. Although she was going to marry the person she loved, she felt it was not very reliable. Before the marriage, she seemed to dislike him less.
"Why not just forget it?"
Gu Sheng: "Yuanyuan is not as decisive as your mother was when she got married."
"Who said it's over? Isn't it just a marriage? Just get married."
The two families sat together to discuss the marriage, but there was actually not much to talk about. Gao Jingmei and her husband both said they would listen to Gu Yuan and that their family would pay for it. Zhan Aiping also said they would listen to Gu Yuan and let the children take care of themselves.
Their wedding was scheduled for March 1998. Gu Yuan bought herself a beautiful snow-white diamond wedding dress. She didn't intend to compromise herself. Who says female soldiers can't have a girlish heart? She wanted a particularly romantic wedding.
On the wedding day, she wanted the floor to be covered with flowers. She didn't want fake flowers, she wanted the freshest champagne roses.
Lu Cheng listened to her and proposed to her on his knees thirty-six times. Once he even made a mountain of giant panda dolls. Gu Mian took a camera to record a video of his future sister and brother-in-law.
Gu Mian complained to her biological mother Zhan Aiping: "My sister is so hypocritical."
"My brother-in-law can tolerate her thanks to the twenty years of friendship between childhood sweethearts." Gu Mian said this with envy and jealousy. She had longed for love since she was a child, but she had yet to encounter a passionate love.
Gu Mian thought it over and decided, "My partner will propose to me seventy-two times in the future."
Zhan Aiping: “…” Each of the daughters she gave birth to is more troublesome than the other.
Gu Sheng couldn't stand this little girl: "Do you think you are Sun Wukong's 72 transformations?"
"Wife, our daughter is here to torment other people's sons."
Gu Sheng turned around and told Gu Mian: "Mian Mian, help record the video. Daddy also wants to propose to your mom."
Gu Yuan watched helplessly as her father, who looked respectable in a shirt and black vest, knelt on one knee to propose to her mother, while her sister and brother-in-law kissed each other. She felt as if she had been beaten up.
My brother-in-law is just like the big wolfdog we used to have in our family. He does whatever my sister Gu Yuan asks him to do.
Gu Yuan: "Of course, your brother-in-law obeys orders the most. If you tell him to go east, he won't dare to go west. If you tell him to go west, he won't dare to go east."
Lu Cheng: “…”
He is not that obedient either.
As the first child in the Gu family to get married, Gu Yuan and Lu Cheng held a grand wedding. In November of that year, Gu Yuan gave birth to a pair of twin siblings in the hospital.
Gao Jingmei and Zhan Aiping were waiting outside the delivery room. When they heard that the baby was born, they were very happy.
"Two little tiger cubs, brother and sister."
Zhan Aiping stayed by her daughter's side. Gu Yuan was in good spirits and kept cursing. She was cursing Lu Cheng. After seeing her mother, she felt very aggrieved: "Mom, it hurts so much. It hurts so much."
Zhan Aiping touched her face lovingly and said, "Have a good rest."
Gu Yuan: "Mom, were you also in this pain when you gave birth to me?"
Zhan Aiping looked at her with a smile.
Gu Yuan grabbed her hand and said, "I am the little Tangyuan who loves my mother the most."
"Mom loves Yuanyuan, too."
Gu Yuan arrived at the ward. She was still energetic and said, "Wash the two little tiger cubs and show them to me."
Gao Jingmei held the child up to her and Gu Yuan took one look at it with disgust: "Mom, it's really ugly, even uglier than when my sister was born."
Gao Jingmei sighed: "It is quite ugly."
Zhan Aiping: "… This boy looks like his grandfather."
Gao Jingmei: "Tiger sister looks like her grandfather."
Gu Yuan: "?!!! Why aren't there any children like mine?"
Zhan Aiping laughed: "You look like your father, isn't it normal for your child to look like his grandfather?"
Gu Yuan: "Mom, you are biased. Can't you say that she is like me?"
Gao Jingmei: "Okay, this girl looks like Xiao Cheng."
Gu Yuan: “…”
If she's really like Captain Gou, I'm really afraid she won't be able to get married.
On the third day after Gu Yuan gave birth, Lu Cheng came running back with two teddy bears as tall as a person. He was anxious: "Wife! Wife! Wife, I'm back!!!"
As soon as he entered the room, he threw the two bears on the ground and held Gu Yuan's hand, trembling.
Gu Yuan said, "Shush, stop making noise. The child just fell asleep after feeding."
Lu Cheng nodded quickly. He looked at the two children with a silly smile, "Wife, our daughter looks so much like you."
Gu Yuan squinted her eyes and said, "Stop lying like that. They all say that their daughter looks like you and their son looks like me."
Lu Cheng stared at his son's face and said seriously, "Looks like his grandfather."
Gu Yuan exclaimed: "My dad looks like me!"
Lu Cheng: “…”
Zhan Aiping is already fifty years old and has become a grandmother. She and Gu Sheng each hold a little grandson in their arms, she holds her granddaughter and Gu Sheng holds his own grandson. The clever little tiger cub opened his eyes and looked at him.
Gu Sheng: “…” Why does this kid look like he deserves a beating
Zhan Aiping said with a smile: "Do you feel like you are looking in the mirror? Does it feel familiar? Our little grandson looks exactly like you."
Gu Sheng shook his head: "Which one?"
It's just that some of the outlines are similar. If they are exactly the same, that would be too exaggerated.
Zhan Aiping gloated: "Last night, your wife and I observed the celestial phenomena and found that your grandson is definitely not an ordinary person. He will definitely make his grandfather very angry in the future."
"Then you may have seen it wrong." Gu Sheng said seriously: "You see, this child looks like me, right? What did I do when I was a child? If I were to talk about it, it would make you so angry that you would jump up and down."
"His grandmother should be calm and peaceful in the future."
Zhan Aiping: "... Grandpa, please stop talking to me in the future."
"My sister gave birth, my sister really gave birth? She gave birth so soon after getting married." Gu Mian rushed to see her two little nephews. She was very worried because she couldn't find a partner.
"Mom, you have such good eyesight, why didn't you acknowledge your two godsons? Now my sister has taken one away from me, what about me? Am I not worthy of a childhood sweetheart?"
Gu Sheng: "Why did your mother recognize so many sons?"
Gu Mian: "It's all my fault, Dad. You interrupted my childhood love and forced me to take the college entrance examination."
Zhan Aiping: "When was the love? Who?"
Gu Mian: "I didn't see it clearly, but I remember that his back was very good-looking, with two very long legs, divided 3:7, and the whole thing underneath was legs."
Comrade Xiaomianhua has seen countless men since she was a child, but her waist and legs are still the prettiest among those in the army.
Like her brother-in-law, he was also a flag-raiser since he was a child, and his legs are also beautiful.
Zhan Aiping: "You can't blame your father, you didn't even see his face."
Gu Mian sighed: "Mom, I don't believe in love anymore."
"I doubt the intentions of those who deliberately approach me. They obey me in everything. Is it really because they like me? Is it really because of me? It's not because of my family, because my father, mother, brothers and sisters..."
Gu Mian has been popular since she was a child, but sometimes she is very clear that these people like her for other purposes, because she is good-looking and has a good family. Especially after her father became the brigade commander, more and more people flatter him and coax her.
She was often confused. Did these men who approached her, flattered her, and obeyed her really love her? They loved Gu Mian, not Commander Gu's daughter.
On this point, only her aunt Gu Xiangyi understands her best.
