Almighty Military Wife

In addition to Gao Xiulan’s concern, the children were also particularly concerned about when will their uncle come.

The clothes that their aunt made for them were taken away by their grandma after trying on whether they fit or not.
She said that they could only wear them when their uncle comes to the house.

So they all eagerly waited for the future uncle who they had never met to come to their house.

“Grandma, when will uncle come?” Sanya asked.

“How do I know?!” Gao Xiulan said uncomfortably.

The autumn harvest was over, and it was almost the end of the year but there was no news from the old Gu’s family, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

“This old Gu’s family is too dishonest, why don’t they send me any news.”

Su Qinghe was making clothes for Dabao and Erbao.
When she heard this, she didn’t look up, “Maybe he hasn’t come back, so don’t worry.”

She’s doing well now.
This is the sixth piece of clothing, if she can make another one, she can upgrade.
Then the other two side missions can also come out.

Thinking of this, Su Qinghe is very happy.

Gao Xiulan looked at her like this, thinking that her daughter was thinking about the blind date.
Alas, young girls just don’t mean what they say.
Thinking about something, she’s still embarrassed to say it.

How could there be no rush? After she first met Dagen, she couldn’t sleep all day… Ahem, Su Dagen couldn’t sleep, but she could still snore when she fell asleep.

Anyway, she can’t wait any longer.
She must find out when he will come back.
They can’t wait forever.

So in the afternoon, Gao Xiulan went out to find her elder brother Gao Fusheng with a basket on her back and ask about Secretary Hao’s news.

Just when they were on the road, they ran into her elder brother Gao Fusheng.

Gao Fusheng had already heard the news, so he immediately ran to report to his third sister.
Seeing his third sister, he said happily, “Xiulan, he’s coming back, your son-in-law is coming back.”

Gao Xiulan was about to pull her face.
When she heard this, she suddenly smiled.
“Really, when?”

“It’s only been two days since the telegram was delivered.
Your in-laws called the commune and said that they will bring someone to the house in five days.” Gao Fusheng said excitedly.

Gao Xiulan said cheerfully, “It’s very considerate to send a telegram back.
Not a silly boy.” Now she is more and more satisfied with her son-in-law.

In the Frontier Corps, Gu Changan went out happily with his luggage on his back, and then got on the tricycle that went out to pull supplies, and was going to go to the station to take a car home.

He had telegraphed home in advance, telling his family that he was going back soon. The family should prepare delicious food and drink for him in advance.

After he goes back, he must have a big mouthful of food and meat.
Then he lay down on the bed and slept in the dark… The most important thing is to beg his old man to let him stay at home.
Wohohohohohohoho.

…

After Su Qinghe heard the news that Gao Xiulan came back to say, he almost prick her hands.
Dabao hurriedly called his aunt.
His aunt is making clothes for him.
He can’t let his aunt’s hands get hurt.

Su Qinghe looked at her mother and said, “Mom, is it true that the recruits will be back?”

“Of course it’s true.
Can the telegram sent from the army be fake? I think that boy probably knew that he had a blind date at home, and he couldn’t wait to run back.
Qing’er, you have to wear new clothes when the time comes and dress up beautifully.
Look at our Qing’er in our family, you have grown up a lot these days.

Su Qinghe said that in addition to the autumn harvest, he occasionally cooked a meat dish for his family.
She doesn’t do anything every day, eats fine grains, and occasionally opens a small stove in the military wife’s kitchen.
How can’t she grow well?

Gao Xiulan watched her daughter grow more and more fleshy.
The face, and the eyes and nose that are gradually growing, make her extremely proud.
There is no one in their team who looks richer and better looking than her daughter.

With this look, it is to enjoy a happy life.

Because they will come to meet each other in five days, Gao Xiulan asked her sons and daughters-in-law to clean the house inside and out.
It must make people feel that although their family is in the countryside, they are as particular as the people in the city.

“Da Ya, Erya, Sanya, all move.
There should be no dust on the tables and chairs.”

“Got it, grandma.” The children ran around excitedly.
Busy with work inside and out.
Just to welcome their future uncle, and to wear new clothes conveniently.

It took two days to clean the house, but Gao Xiulan was still not satisfied and was ready to go to Old Gao’s house to get some good things to entertain her in-laws.

As soon as Su Qinghe heard this, she said, “Mom, why would you go to grandma’s house for my blind date? You have to seek dad instead.
If he doesn’t care about my affairs, who else is he going to care about? Everyone has a father when they’re on a blind date but my father doesn’t care about me?”

Hearing what Su Qinghe said, Gao Xiulan felt sorry for her daughter.
When this happened to other people’s families, which father didn’t want to fight for his daughter’s face.
How can he not care?

In the evening, Gao Xiulan spoke to the big urn, “Da Gen, this is a big deal for your daughter, you have to get something to entertain your in-laws.
If you embarrass your daughter, I will never forgive you if I go down.
Don’t be cruel.
Do something for your daughter.”

On the other side of the room, Su Qinghe exchanged five fish for a catty of pork, and the remaining five fish for a big fish weighing more than four catties.
She was glad that she cooked fish several times during the autumn harvest, otherwise, she would not be able to produce so many things now.
In the future, she still needs to do more work and collect more things.

Early the next morning, Gao Xiulan looked at the big fish and meat, happily embraced her big urn, and kissed it a few times.
She didn’t even eat breakfast, she went to the county seat with fish and meat on her back.
Such a good thing must make his sons and daughters-in-law blind.
It was a fast ride all the way.

After going around the county town, she was ready to go back.
As a result, she walked too fast and bumped into someone.

The old arms and legs hurt so much.
Then she saw a young man in military uniform looking at her basket.

The other party was taller than her, and just after bumping into him, he knocked off the cover on the basket, so the contents inside could be seen.
Even if it is covered with cotton cloth, you can see the fish … meat exposed from the corners.……

Gao Xiulan hurriedly covered the basket, “What are you doing, you’re still a People’s Liberation Army, why do you keep looking at it? I’m giving this to my son-in-law, how can you pay for it if it breaks?”

“I’m sorry, auntie.” The comrades of the People’s Liberation Army said solemnly, mechanically, but their eyes were a little straight.

Good fat fish, good fat meat……

For the son-in-law to eat, which son-in-law is so blessed.

Gao Xiulan didn’t have time to talk to him, so she snorted and left with a basket on her back.

The comrades of the People’s Liberation Army watched her go and then walked with luggage on their backs.

After passing through small streets, he finally arrived at their compound.

As soon as he was about to go in, he was stopped by someone.
Uncle Zhang, who was guarding the gate, had a cigarette in his mouth and said unhappily, “Comrade, what are you doing? You haven’t registered yet.”

“Uncle Zhang, it’s me, Chang’an.
Do I still have to register when I come back?” Gu Changan stretched his head over to show the other party.

Uncle Zhang’s eyes widened immediately, and the cigarette dangling from his mouth dropped.

“Chang’an, you’re Gu Chang’an, the youngest of the deputy county magistrate’s family? Why, why did you become like this? When you go out, the white flour looks like it’s kneaded, but when you come back, it’s like sorghum flour.”

Gu Chang’an: “… ”

Fortunately, no matter how much the skin is rubbed, the face still hasn’t changed much, but it’s a little thinner.
It looks more like a man.

Uncle Zhang finally confirmed that this is the famous lazy third child of the Gu family in the whole compound.

“Chang’an, go back quickly.
Your mother has been looking forward to your return for a long time.
She had peeked here several times today.
Your sister-in-law bought the meat back early in the morning.”

Upon hearing the meat, Gu Chang’an immediately swallowed and ran away with his luggage.

Seeing that Gu Changan, who was unable to carry his shoulders and hands at the beginning, can now run faster than a mouse with a luggage bag.
Uncle Zhang suddenly looked surprised, “The army is really a good place.”

The Gu family has long been looking forward to Gu Chang’an’s return.

Mother Gu was fidgeting in the house, and kept asking her eldest son, “Is the telegram correct? Did we miscalculate the date? Is he coming back today?”

“Mom, he’s coming back today.” Eldest brother Gu replied seriously.
Then he rubbed his forehead with a headache.
The old lady has asked this question a hundred and eighty times.

Mother Gu was about to ask again when she heard a knock on the door and rushed to open the door immediately.

As soon as she opened the door, she froze.

Who is this?

The other party stood at the door, showing a familiar expression, flattening his mouth, sniffing his nose, tears in the corners of his eyes, “Mom—”

“Chang’an, it’s my Chang’an who has returned.” Mother Gu finally confirmed that it was her precious baby who returned.
She immediately hug him, “Why did our Chang’an become like this? You looked like mother when you went out but now, you looked like your father when you came back.”

Deputy county magistrate Gu: “…” He put his hands behind his back and pretended to be a serious old father, “Okay, isn’t it just going to be a soldier? Why are you making such a big noise when you come back? Put your things down first, go wash your face and change your clothes, and eat later.

When it was time to eat, Gu Changan couldn’t care less about sensationalism, and immediately ran into the house with his things.

“Mom, I’m going to change my clothes first, and I’ll come out to talk to you later.”

“Go quickly, your sister-in-law made you your favorite braised pork.”

With a bang, Gu Changan slammed directly into the door of the room.

During the meal, Gu Changan ate good food with big mouthfuls, and the two brothers and sisters-in-law couldn’t bear to watch it.

When the third child was sent away, they all contributed…

Eldest Sister-in-law Gu said, “Chang’an, eat more.
Are you having a bad time in the army?”

Gu Chang’an nodded while eating, almost speechless with sadness, “I eat flatbread every day, but I can’t bite the hard ones, and it doesn’t taste good.
Li Xiaohui lied to me that I could eat white noodles if I can enter a company.
I was exhausted from training every day.
I finally won first place in the recruitment competition, and I was assigned to the best company.
As a result, I couldn’t eat white noodles at all, and it was even more bitter.
Huh… Our company commander said that as long as I finished training, I could come back to visit my relatives.
I trained every day without resting.
I finally beat down five veterans so I was released.
Woohoo……”

The Gu family: “…”

What, first place in the recruitment competition, and went to the best company? Still, beat the veteran?

Don’t brag.
