Sincerely, love

Chapter 2

It was already 07:30 when he woke up in the morning. Liang He rubbed his somewhat messy hair and went to the bathroom to freshen up.The woman in the mirror looked listless, her eyes were drooping at the moment, and the faint blue layer under her eyes showed that Liang He didn't sleep well that night.

Liang He has mild bed recognition disorder.After marriage, she moved from her small apartment to their new house. The new house was run by Gu's parents, Liang He's current in-laws. She and Gu Huaining had never been here before their marriage. The first time they came was the day the wedding ended. , he entered the room with her, followed her to choose a room, and followed her in without expressing any opinions.

When Liang He woke up, the pillow was already empty. Now that he looked around the room, there was no sign of Gu Huaining. It seemed that he was not at home.She stood in the kitchen for a while, poured herself a cup of hot milk, and decided to go to the bedroom to sleep again.

After washing the milk cup and returning it to its original place, Liang He stood in front of the bedroom door stretching and yawning.Just as he was about to enter the door to catch up on sleep, the door lock at the entrance clicked, the door was opened, and Gu Huaining walked in from the door.After yawning halfway, he froze there, Liang He stared at Gu Huaining blankly.

In contrast, Gu Huaining was much calmer.He glanced at her, nodded slightly, and walked straight to the kitchen, the breakfast in his hand was still steaming hot.

He went to buy some breakfast?Liang He couldn't help but startled.

In a daze, Gu Huaining brought out the breakfast.Liang He scratched his head, followed him to the dining table and sat down.

Gu Huaining moved very quickly, which may have something to do with his occupation - he is a professional soldier.

Liang He had seen very few soldiers, and she didn't know much about their lives, but she thought that all soldiers should have a decisive characteristic - at least that's what Gu Huaining reflected in their marriage.

Gu Huaining wasn't used to slowing down and waiting for others, so he quickly finished his breakfast, looked at Liang He who was slowly drinking porridge, pondered for a moment, and said, "I still have a week's vacation, do you want to go? place?"

"Huh?" Liang He looked up at him.

Gu Huaining stroked the smooth surface of the dining table with his fingers: "It can be considered a honeymoon."

Gu Huaining is the head of the Armored Regiment of the T Division of the B Military Region. He spends most of his time on the training ground and exercise ground. Before getting married, he didn't take much vacation for two years. This time, he took an extra week off for the wedding.

Liang He was slightly taken aback, she really didn't know where to go.

At this moment, the phone in the living room rang, Gu Huaining said "Think about it first" and got up to answer the phone.

Watching his leaving back, Liang He bit his spoon and began to think about where to go.

She works as a reporter for a magazine, and she has been to many places for interviews, and sometimes she will "steal half a day's leisure" after work.

The phone call came from Zhou Ping, director of the political department, saying that it was time for the school to start again, and the local university that had been in contact with them needed troops to go to the military training.

Gu Huaining has been transferred to the armored regiment as the head of the regiment for more than a year, and has experience in handling this matter, so he directly asked Zhou Ping to pick a company from the service battalion. Anyway, the school also served delicious food and drinks.

Zhou Ping was a little troubled on the other end of the phone: "It's not that troublesome to put it aside, it's just that the other party's freshmen this year have all been transferred to the new campus, and the person in charge at their side said that the classrooms in the new campus have not yet installed tables, chairs and benches. Come to the army for military training for a month, so as to give them time to buffer. Besides, isn't it five years since the cooperation, the school wants to take advantage of this time to hold a performance, and wants us to attend the opening ceremony."

Gu Huaining refused at first, but Zhou Ping persuaded him: "Military-civilian co-construction, this is the only thing we can do in peacetime, and building a good relationship with the local government is also what the above has always emphasized. I think you should participate."

The hat was a bit too big, so Gu Huaining had no choice but to agree.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Huaining walked slowly back to the restaurant.

Sitting opposite Liang He, his expression was apologetic: "Something happened suddenly in the army, I'm afraid I have to go back two or three days in advance."

So fast?Liang He froze for a moment, and then thought that she didn't have to worry about where to go anymore.

Liang He asked, "Then, when will we leave?"

Gu Huaining looked at Liang He for a moment, seeing that her reaction was flat, he felt relieved.Zhou Ping said on the phone that the opening ceremony was on Monday, but today is Friday.

Gu Huaining thought for a while and said, "Leave tomorrow."

"Oh." Liang He nodded, lowered his head and continued to drink porridge.The porridge is already cold, and it feels a bit uncomfortable to drink it into the stomach.She simply put down the spoon and put the things into the kitchen.

Gu Huaining followed behind, seeing that she was done, said, "If it's convenient for you, let's go home."

Eh?Liang He turned around in surprise.

Gu Huaining explained calmly: "I'm leaving, go home and have a look."

review home?This didn't seem like a big problem to him, but Liang He felt a headache thinking about his background.

Gu Huaining also naturally understood her concerns, and comforted her: "You don't have to worry about my parents."

"Okay." Liang He wiped his hands and replied.

Although she doesn't have much confidence in herself, there is a good saying that an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws.

It was two weeks ago that she decided to marry Gu Huaining.

They met in the hospital, got along for a while and felt good with each other, so they decided to get married.The time spent with him is not too long, let alone his family.Although Liang He had only met his parents a few times before getting married, they were not very familiar with each other, so he was still a little nervous at the moment.

When the car stopped at the gate of Gu's house, Liang He suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but patted his forehead!She actually came to visit her parents-in-law empty-handed!

After a while of annoyance, Liang He turned to Gu Huaining: "Shall we just go in directly, do you need something?"

Gu Huaining didn't expect such a problem, so he pondered for a while and said, "No need."

"But……"

"They won't mind."

God!Liang He was very depressed.

Liang He knew a little about Gu Huaining's background.

His father, Gu Changzhi, was also a soldier. He came from the battlefields of the Liberation War, and experienced the northern border war and the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack. He carried a pair of real generals on his shoulders.The mother, Li Wan, was Gu Changzhi's second wife, so the Gu family had three sons. The eldest son, Gu Huaiqing, served as the secretary of the provincial party committee in a southern province, but he was not often at home.The second son, Gu Huaiyue, was Li Wan's eldest son, and like his youngest son, Gu Huaining, both worked in the army.

Liang He's background is much simpler. Both of her parents died. Even her grandmother who accompanied her the longest has passed away for several months, but she is said to be alone.

Comparing the two, Liang He was even a little nervous.

Even though he had made preparations in advance, Liang He couldn't help being surprised when he actually stepped into the Gu family's gate.Looking at the row of elders in the living room, Liang He tried hard to control his urge to rush out the door.Gu Huaining was already used to this kind of situation, he just slightly raised his eyebrows and half-armed her into the door, greeting all the elders politely.The elders all responded with a smile, and when they arrived at Liang He's place, their smiles were a little more appreciative.

Mother Li Wan greeted her from the kitchen: "Are you here? The meal isn't ready yet, Huaining quickly take He He to the living room to rest, don't be tired!"

Gu Huaining glanced at his mother, and before he could speak, he heard Liang He say: "I'm not tired, I, I'll go to the kitchen and help you!"

Li Wan smiled and looked at Liang He's back as he entered the kitchen, then turned to look at his son: "You go to the living room to talk to your uncles first."

Originally, Gu Huaining just called Mrs. Gu and said that he would go home, but he didn't expect that his uncles, who were busy with everything, rushed over. This posture was to test his wife?This old lady.

He said, "Mom, Liang He is seven years younger than me, so don't make things difficult for her."

Li Wan glanced at him sideways, "I know you treasure your daughter-in-law."

Gu Huaining didn't speak, his eyes fell lightly on the figure who was busy in the kitchen.

The kitchen was in turmoil.Liang He was in a hurry to help Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to watch her help her more and more.Seeing that she was about to cut ribs with a bone cutter, Mrs. Zhang hurried forward to stop her: "Hey, don't hurt you, give it to me."

Liang He was stunned, and handed the knife back to Aunt Zhang in embarrassment. Aunt Zhang felt helpless and had to arrange for her to deal with the fish that had just been brought back.

When Gu Huaining walked to the kitchen, he saw such a scene, Liang He was fighting the fish with his sleeves rolled up.Obviously he was afraid of blood, but the appearance of holding back his attack made Gu Huaining happy.After thinking about it, he walked over and took the knife from her hand.

Liang He was taken aback by his sudden movement, so he could only stand aside and watch him scrape the scales and gills of the fish.

"Not good at cooking?" he asked.

Liang He lowered his head and gave a muffled hum.

This was expected, Gu Huaining handed the processed fish to Mrs. Zhang, and put her hands under the faucet to wash them carefully.This surprised Liang He. After getting along for a while, she didn't even know that he could cook.

Mrs. Zhang's craftsmanship is excellent, and the food she makes is so delicious that people almost swallow their tongues and food together.It's a pity that, faced with such delicious food, Liang He had to answer various questions from Gu's parents and elders while sitting upright while eating.

"Huaining, won't your wife go to the army with you after marriage?" The person who asked the question was Gu Huaining's second uncle, Gu Changming.He and Gu Huaining work in the same military region.Gu Changming served as the political commissar, while Gu Huaining served as the commander of the [-]nd Armored Regiment of the T Division of a certain subordinate army.

Gu Huaining glanced at Liang He and said, "She still has a job." The implication was that she would not go.

"Oh? Where does He He work?" Gu Changming looked at Liang He and asked.

"It's a magazine office in the city." Liang He replied seriously.

"Then you just leave your newlywed daughter-in-law in City C and return to the army? Hey, I say Liang He, are you willing?" Uncle Gu Changan joked about the couple in front of him with a smile.

Liang He immediately blushed. Gu Huaining glanced at his uncle, and secretly used his eyes to throw two "armor-piercing bullets" at the two people in front of him whose military rank was much higher than his.

The two smiled and let go of the topic.

Liang He escaped, but his heart was still beating fast.When she looked up at Gu Huaining again, her indifferent expression with a slight smile made her slightly dazed.

When Liang He came here this time, he didn't see Gu Huaining's father, Gu Changzhi. After asking for a while, he found out that Mr. Gu was inspecting his work below, and it was not for her to intervene in major military and political matters.

Li Wan called Liang He to the second floor and handed her a brocade box.Liang He took it hesitantly, opened it and saw that it was a pair of fine Burmese jade.

Li Wan took her hand and said, "The old man asked me to give this to you before he left. Do you like it?"

Liang He caressed the jade in his hand against the light, it was crystal clear and moist, with a dazzling luster.

"Like it," she said

"That's good."

Liang He raised his head, looked at Li Wan, and smiled softly.

Because he had to catch a plane back to the army the next day, Gu Huaining took Liang He back to the new house directly, and put all his luggage there.

The first thing Liang He did when he got home was to run to the bathroom with his soft slippers. From Gu Huaining's point of view, his back looked like he was running away in a hurry. Maybe he was worried that he would grab the bathroom with her, right?Gu Huaining was stunned at the door for a while, a faint smile appeared on his expressionless face.

Liang He was once asked such a question by his friend He Anmin - if one morning you woke up and saw a man next to your pillow, how would you feel.

Just when Liang He wanted to answer, her friend He Anmin had already answered for her carefreely, "You are not so simple, for a person like you who does not want to get married, the only possibility for a man sleeping next to you is a one-night stand!"

Liang He's reaction at the time was to give He Anmin a chestnut.

Now that the situation has actually happened, Liang He feels a little confused.It is estimated that it is not used yet.Liang He beat his head and got out of bed to make breakfast.

Gu Huaining flew back to City B this morning, and the time was a little tight, so Liang He couldn't justify getting him up early to buy breakfast after finishing the housework.So I set the alarm clock in advance before going to bed last night, and woke up on time at 06:30. Her craftsmanship is not good, but breakfast can still be used to practice hands.

Liang He is more good at the Western-style breakfast, two slices of toast, a fried egg, and a glass of warm milk. It really doesn't take much effort.But the question is, will Gu Huaining like to eat it?There will also be western breakfast in the army?
Liang He vetoed this idea in a second, quickly washed the rice and started cooking porridge, mixed the pickled side dishes in the refrigerator, and went downstairs to buy Anxin fried dough sticks and steamed buns. It was almost time when everything was ready It was seven o'clock, and Liang He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the table full of breakfast.

And Gu Huaining woke up on time at seven o'clock, finished washing quickly, and walked out while wiping his face with a towel.When I walked to the kitchen, I was really taken aback when I saw the table full of breakfast.

It happened that Liang He brought out the cooked porridge, a bowl in each hand, and her brows were a little tangled because of the hot temperature.Gu Huaining hurried forward to pick it up: "I'll come, I'll come."

Liang He seemed to be startled by him, and looked at him with wide eyes.

He only wore a sleeveless white vest on his upper body, and shaved military trousers on his lower body. He seemed to have washed his hair when he washed his face, and it was still wet at the moment.Seeing him looking over, Liang He quickly realized: "You, are you awake?"

After finishing speaking, I wanted to find a hole to bury myself, why are you stuttering!

Gu Huaining hummed: "Did you prepare breakfast?"

"Well, I don't know if it suits your taste."

Gu Huaining raised his eyebrows and glanced roughly at the dining table.The fritters and steamed buns seemed to be freshly bought, and the side dishes were brightly colored, which made people's index fingers twitch, but he vaguely remembered that this dish had been stored in the refrigerator since the day of his wedding, and the bowl in front of him was alone. The porridge was prepared by the girl herself.

"Not bad." Someone concluded, at least the spirit is commendable.

Liang He smiled sheepishly and sat down to have breakfast together.

Gu Huaining was on a nine o'clock plane, and after breakfast, Gu Changzhi's guards came to pick him up to the airport.The guard Feng Zhan is a young man who has just turned 20 years old. He is about the same age as Liang He. When he saw Liang He, he called his sister-in-law generously, but Liang He blushed and stood by the door. let him in.

Gu Huaining was standing in front of the mirror wearing a tie and epaulettes. Liang He was used to seeing him in military uniform, but he had never looked at his epaulets seriously.The epaulets with two bars and two stars, I don't know what rank it is.

"I'll go back to the army first. If you have anything to call, call Feng Zhan. If you can't find me, just contact Feng Zhan." Gu Huaining told Liang He, "Feng Zhan, take care of your sister-in-law when I'm not at home."

"Yes, Chief, I promise to complete the task!"

Feng Zhan gave a military salute with a smile, and Gu Huaining rewarded him with a chestnut in a good mood, then turned to look at Liang He.She was standing quietly at the door, keeping the posture of opening the door, not knowing what she was thinking.Seeing him coming over, he said, "I'll see you off."

"No need." He put on his big-brimmed hat, and finally adjusted his military appearance, "I can go by myself."

Liang He stared at him for a few seconds and said, "Then I'll take you downstairs."

Feng Zhan put the luggage into the trunk, opened the passenger's door for Gu Huaining, and then consciously got into the jeep.

Gu Huaining held the car door, pondered for a moment, walked in front of Liang He, stretched out one hand to cover her head, and brushed away the soft bangs on her forehead with the other hand, and gently left a kiss there: "I I'm leaving, I'll call you when I arrive"

Liang He was startled by the cold kiss and suddenly raised her head, and bumped into his dim eyes. She looked away in an instant, and whispered: "Be careful all the way."

Liang He stood where she was, and she remained there for a long time after the jeep drove out of the gate of the community. She didn't shiver until she felt the unabated chill in the morning, and she suddenly recovered and walked home.

When she got home, she threw herself on the bed. She got up too early, and it was not impossible for her to sleep again.

However, she found it difficult to fall asleep, and there was a wedding photo on the wall facing her.In the photo, she smiled softly and pleasantly, while he was the calm and unwavering way she was used to seeing.

Looking at the empty home, before she fell asleep, she suddenly remembered that they had only been married for four days.
