"It's the Gu family's fault. It's my fault as an old woman. It's my mouth that I can't cover. I shouldn't have done anything to the child, let alone said bad things about you. If you want to beat me or scold me, just attack my old woman alone. I will never do it."
Second words..."
Seeing Mrs. Wei like this, Chen Lishu suddenly felt bored. She turned her head and said to Gu Xingdong: "Sister-in-law Guiying gave me steamed buns with fennel meat. I also made porridge. Let's go home for dinner."
"That's right, I also made some newly pickled radish and pickles. Cut them into shreds and mix them with seasonings. They taste crisp and refreshing. I'll go home and serve some to you for your children to send over." Zhao Guiying answered with a smile.
"Let's go home." Gu Xingdong touched Ruirui's head and put his arm around Chen Lishu's shoulders.
This was the first time that he showed intimacy in front of so many people, and his attitude was strong and protective.
"Aren't you angry anymore?" Seeing the curve of her mouth, Gu Xingdong raised his eyebrows and teased.
"That's a vulgar and ignorant old lady. Should I be like her? I'm just angry that she did something to my son. I'm not willing to do it myself. I don't want everyone to like us Ruirui, but I definitely can't let anyone like her.
Bullied.”
Chen Lishu went back to the house, took out the medical tool box, disinfected Ruirui with iodine, and then bandaged his wound.
"Mom, it doesn't hurt me." Seeing that Chen Lishu was distressed, Ruirui blinked her big eyes and looked at her: "It hurts me when Mom is angry."
"Why is my son so good?" Chen Lishu suddenly felt very heartbroken. She went up to him and kissed him on the face. Ruirui blushed with embarrassment.
Gu Xingdong watched the interaction between the two of them, hesitated for a moment and then said: "I will lead the team to the south in a few days."
Chen Lishu was collecting the medical kit. At first, she thought it was the same as usual, just a normal mission and she didn't pay much attention to it. She nodded and got up: "How long will it take?"
"Not sure, at least half a year, maybe one or two years."
Go south for a year or two...
"Bata."
The medical kit in Chen Lishu's hand fell to the ground, and all the liquids, gauze, alcohol, etc. inside were scattered out.
Gu Xingdong hurriedly bent down to pick up all the things and put them away. Looking at her pale face, he smiled and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, don't you know what your man and I are capable of? There will definitely be no problem.
of."
"But, but that's a battlefield, and swords and guns have no eyesight. What if..." Chen Lishu couldn't continue. She didn't dare to think about what she would do if Gu Xingdong had something wrong with him.
"No, I promise."
"What's the use of your promise!" Chen Lishu's eyes were sore, and she blinked twice quickly to prevent tears from falling.
Emotionally, she wanted to be selfish and just leave the person behind even if she had a hysterical quarrel, but her rationality told her that she couldn't! It was Gu Xingdong's mission to go to war, and it was his mission as a soldier.
Gu Xingdong's heart suddenly ached when he saw that she was holding back tears and her eyes were red and she was about to cry.
He took a step forward and gently held her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head and whispering, "As long as you and the child are here, I will be fine."
Although Ruirui didn't know what happened, he keenly felt that the atmosphere between his parents was not right. He looked at the two people hugging each other in confusion. Ruirui also silently went over and hugged Gu Xingdong's thigh.
Although she was still very sad, Chen Lishu could only try her best to convince herself to accept that she was not marrying an ordinary person but a soldier, so she had to learn to accept this reality.
So, she sniffed and came out of Gu Xingdong's arms: "You are hungry, let's eat first."
It happened that Wang Yanhui, the boss of the Wang family, came over to deliver pickles. After Chen Lishu thanked her, the family of three sat at the table and began to eat in silence.
"When are you leaving?"
"Next Wednesday."
"So fast? Is there anything you need to prepare?"
"No need, the team has everything we need and is fully prepared."
Chen Lishu nodded, hiding the disappointment in her eyes.
At night, Chen Lishu stared at the dark ceiling, listening to the even breathing in her ears. Her thoughts were mixed for a while, and she had a rare insomnia.
"Can't sleep?" A deep voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and Chen Lishu turned her head: "Did I wake you up by turning over?"
Gu Xingdong said nothing, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and patted her subconsciously with his palms.
Chen Lishu couldn't help laughing: "I'm not a child, I still need you to coax me to sleep."
"In my heart, you are a child, Ruirui is a child, and you are a big child." Gu Xingdong kissed her fragrant hair.
I don't know whether Gu Xingdong's method worked or she was just too sleepy. Chen Lishu fell into a deep sleep not long after lying in his arms.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside. Rui Rui was sleeping soundly, with his hands and feet spread out. Half of the quilt hung at the foot of the bed, and the other half fell to the ground. Chen Lishu went over to pick up the quilt and cover him again.
Outside, the 'big king' was anxious to go out. He stood at the entrance and turned around anxiously. When he saw Chen Lishu coming out, he meowed twice immediately.
After Chen Lishu opened the door and let it out, she turned and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
For breakfast, she steamed flower rolls and cooked millet porridge. There was still a little pickle left from the Wang family yesterday, so she ate it in a while.
Soon Ruirui got up, and after washing, the two of them sat at the table and started having breakfast.
"Knock knock."
There was a sudden knock on the door. Chen Lishu stood up and just opened the door when she saw Jiang Yuning's figure appearing at the door.
"Is it convenient for me to come in?" Although she asked, before Chen Lishu could speak, the person had already bypassed her and walked straight into the room.
This is Jiang Yuning's first time to Gu Xingdong's home. She has always been curious about what the place where he lives will look like. Today she finally saw it. Although it is a small two-bedroom apartment with a small area, she has to admit that it is very cozy.
The clean white walls, the spotless blue cement floor, the tables, chairs and benches, and every piece of furniture are placed in an orderly manner, especially the knitted mats covered on them. The exquisiteness and skill of the hostess can be seen everywhere.
Jiang Yuning's appraising eyes made Chen Lishu feel very uncomfortable. She always felt that she was looking for another person through these things.
"Have you seen enough?" Chen Lishu said unceremoniously: "If you come over and have anything to do, just tell me. I still need to eat."
Jiang Yuning sat down on the stool casually: "Do you know that Xingdong is going to lead a team to the south?"
"It's not you who called Xingdong. Dr. Jiang, you'd better be more careful."
Seeing that her expression was quite calm, Jiang Yuning was sure that Gu Xingdong had told her the matter.
"I have applied to be the accompanying team doctor this time, and the superiors have agreed." Jiang Yuning couldn't hide her pride in her voice. After all, her professional level is considered outstanding in the entire industry, and the approval from the superiors was expected.
middle.
Chen Lishu remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
