Your promise, my sea

Chapter 6: Grassland Night
City W in the Northwest Territories.

The westerly wind of the grassland swept away the last bit of gunpowder smoke, and there were traces of armored vehicles running over the road, with staggered depths.A few jeeps with license plates of the B military region drove by, raising a cloud of dust.The exercise has ended, and all units of Division A are resting.The sky darkened, and it was almost evening, and the field cooking truck also started to work.

Several engineers were dismantling the fortifications in front of the division. Division commander Liu Xiangdong lifted the curtain of the tent and strode inside.Political commissar Gao Xiang is not there, and several lieutenants are packing up their things. They will leave here after the exercise is over.

Liu Xiangdong caught a glimpse of Gu Huaiyue who was standing in front of the command system and staring at the map. He couldn't help laughing, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "The exercise is over. Director Jiang from the guidance center called to say that Commander-in-Chief will be here tomorrow. There is no rush to withdraw tonight. I am thinking about what we need to prepare."

"It's okay, Commander Xi doesn't like to show off, so he doesn't need special treatment."

Liu Xiangdong laughed, with the boldness unique to Shandong men: "Okay, listen to you."

Gu Huaiyue opened the tent and walked out.The grassland is extremely quiet at the moment. If it weren't for the coming and going green and the fortifications that have not been dismantled, it would be hard to see that a military exercise has just gone through here.Many soldiers fell to the ground and fell asleep due to overwork. It was very cold on the grassland at night. Political commissar Gao Xiang was busy yelling people up, but they all looked like paste and couldn't help them up at all.

Gu Huaiyue said: "Let them rest first, they are too tired."

Gao Xiang nodded helplessly, he looked at the person in front of him who was ten years younger than him and smiled: "I heard that you and Shen Mengchuan of Division D graduated from the same military academy, so if you fight like this, will it be a little bit harsher? Will it harm your demeanor as a Confucian general?"

"Probably not, this person still has a bit of backbone."

Shen Mengchuan was a soldier of the same age as him, but after graduating from the military academy, Shen Mengchuan joined the reconnaissance battalion of Division A as a soldier, and then joined Division D from Division A, all the way up to the position of chief of staff.Recently, due to the transfer of personnel in Division D, the higher-ups arranged for him to be the acting division commander of Division D, becoming the number one leader of Division D.This person's behavior is quite arrogant. In the last confrontation exercise, Division A fought Division D. He thought it was just a formality, and being a target made the chief happy. In the end, Shen Mengchuan used a regiment to eat up the reinforcements attached to Division A. Regiment, no mercy for the old troops.

Although this time was also a routine confrontation exercise, it was a battle of shame for Division A.

Gu Huaiyue regained his composure, returned to the headquarters, and called home.Li Wan was chattering on the other end, and he tapped his fingers on the table while listening patiently: "By the way, Huai Yue, Jia Ming has followed Yan Zhen to live in her house. If you want a son, call Xiao Zhen."

The old lady beamed at the other end.

The relationship between this little guy and Yan Zhen is getting better and better. The last time I stayed with her for one night, I will go there this weekend no matter what.The old lady was naturally happy to see this scene, she packed up her things and sent him over, completely unaware of the sly and proud look in the child's eyes before he left.

Gu Huaiyue on the other side just pondered for a while after hearing what the old lady said, hung up the phone, remained silent for a few seconds, and asked the correspondent to connect to another number.

It took nearly 30 seconds for the beep on the other end of the phone to be picked up: "Who is it?"

"It's me, grandma." The last two words were spit out almost without hesitation.

"Xiao Gu?" Grandma said pleasantly, and then said with some regret, "Oh, you played at the wrong time. Xiao Zhen just took Jia Ming out."

"Go out?" He frowned slightly, "Where did you go?"

"They said they were going out to play for two days." Grandma laughed, "If you want something to do, just call Yan Zhen's phone!"

go out to play?Probably the little guy is pestering Yan Zhen where he is going again.Therefore, it is not a good thing to know your son too well.

Gu Huaiyue shook his head, turned around and picked up Yan Zhen's phone again, which surprised him a little.The female voice from the other end told him: The other party has turned off the phone.

Gu Huaiyue suddenly had a bad feeling.

C City Railway Station.

In the overcrowded waiting hall, cute children are smiling and holding Yan Zhen's hand, waiting in line for the ticket check to board the train.

Looking at the swarming crowd, Yan Zhen was not in such a good mood as the little guy, she was still a bit uncertain.This kind of irrational and thoughtless thing was the first time in Yan Zhen's life.

Gu Jiaming blinked: "Teacher, why don't we take the plane?"

The little guy is quite demanding.Yan Zhen replied: "It's easier to see the scenery by train."

The child nodded half-understanding, and smiled even brighter as he watched the crowd gradually move forward.Get in the car, Dad is not far away!

The railway line in G province stretches and twists, and there are many beautiful scenery along the way.When little Gu got on the train, he was still yelling at the scenery that flashed by outside the window. By the time the train entered the province of G, the tired little kid had already fallen asleep.

Yan Zhen silently looked at the darkness outside the window, and with the sound of long and undulating breathing in the carriage, she completely fell silent.She has an inexplicable affinity for trains.When she was young, every time her father visited relatives, she would come back by train. Every day, she would wait at the train station early, and her grandma would tell her that one end of the train was home, and the other end was father.

On the opposite bed was a woman with a one-year-old baby. She put the baby to sleep, looked at Yan Zhen and said, "You should also take the baby on a long trip, the little guy is quite cute."

Yan Zhen smiled, and took advantage of the faint light in the carriage to lower his head to carefully look at the innocent sleeping face of Gu Jiaming's child.She used to recall his appearance through Xiao Jiaming, he was handsome and indifferent, but once he stood there, he was in a tall and straight military posture, unshakable.

How soon will we see him?Just wait, when the exercise is over, she will definitely take Jia Ming to see him.

The exercise base is in a small county town in W City. Before coming here, she asked Feng Zhan that the closest to their exercise location is S Town. She decided to take Jia Ming there first. When the exercise is over, Feng Zhan will notify her immediately. .Therefore, Feng Zhan was the only one who was dragged into the water by her and knew where they were going.If the elders of the Gu family knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the train arrived in W City smoothly.Yan Zhen pulled Gu Jiaming out of the car, braving the cold morning wind, looking for the bus stop.

The child was woken up by Yan Zhen when he was soundly asleep, and now he asked with a pair of small eyebrows locked: "Mr. Yan, where are we going?"

"Go to the bus station. To find your father, we have to take a bus."

The kid pouted again: "It's really troublesome."

Yan Zhen was so cold that his brain ached, and the little guy complained so much, his heart was in a mess.

Fortunately, the bus station is usually not too far from the train station. After turning a corner, Yan Zhen saw the sign with three big gold characters "Bus Station".Yan Zhen was very happy, and immediately took the children to buy tickets.

Perhaps the two of them were lucky, and there was a bus bound for S town in 10 minutes.Yan Zhen bought the ticket and dragged the children into the car.

This is the first time for Gu Jiaming to take a passenger car since he was a child. As soon as he got on the bus, he touched it everywhere in novelty.Seeing this, Yan Zhen couldn't help feeling amused, and stretched out his hand to press him on the seat: "Sit down."

"Mr. Yan, will we see Dad soon?" the child asked with his eyes wide open.

"Yeah." She rubbed the child's head and smiled slightly, "I'll see you soon."

Since it was an early bus, there were still very few people on board when the car started.The kid, who had a full night's sleep, is now energetic and looking out of the window with great interest, but Yan Zhen is a little drowsy.She glanced at the child and held his little hand tightly.

Growing up, she rarely took such long trips.She still remembers going to the army with her father when she was a child, the old-fashioned green leather car, the crowded carriage, she held her father's hand like this, and slept soundly on his lap.Even though it has been so long in a flash, these situations are still as clear as yesterday when I think about them.

It seems that some memories cannot be erased no matter what.Yan Zhen smiled slowly, leaned on the seat and closed his eyes.

The car drove at a constant speed on the dirt road in the northwest grassland, and thought it would be able to reach S town smoothly all the way, but when Yan Zhen was half asleep and half awake, the car suddenly bumped and shook, the driver persisted for a while and stopped the car.

Yan Zhen fell forward due to inertia, and hit his head on the front seat.She rubbed her forehead in pain, opened her eyes and looked out the window. The vast grassland made her lose her mind for a moment. After she realized the seriousness of the problem, she realized the seriousness of the problem because the driver didn't leave.

"Get out of the car." The driver said lightly, taking a puff on his cigarette.

All four people in the car, including the two of them, froze there.The child was childish and asked curiously, "Is this the town of S?"

The driver smiled wryly and said, "The car broke down and I can't move forward."

"The car is broken?" the child asked with a blink of an eye, still a little in disbelief.

Yan Zhen glanced at the child and nodded helplessly.

Okay, it's all right now.Get out of the car and walk!

Yan Zhen held the child in one hand and took the luggage in the other, walking slowly on the loess path.If there was a camera aimed at Yan Zhen and Gu Jiaming at this moment, it would definitely show two listless faces.Because at first glance, this road has no end in sight.

As he was walking, the little guy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he lowered his head to pack his small bag. Yan Zhen looked at him suspiciously, and after a while, he wanted to hit the wall.The kid took out that incomprehensible map again!

Yan Zhen worked hard, tried hard to control the thoughts of wanting to run away, fished out two sunglasses from his small bag, and put one on the bridge of each person's nose.

"What are you doing?" the child asked, his voice obviously limp.

"Sun protection!"

The kid pouted, and suddenly his eyes lit up again, pointing to the distance: "Car!"

The camera turned again, and there were two faces with completely different expressions.One is expressionless, the other is elated.The difference from the previous one is that this time the two sat in the cart, yes, a mule cart!

Looking at Xiao Jiaming, who is happy to get close to the driver, Yan Zhen can't help but feel that his ability to survive in the wild is not as good as this little friend.She patted his face and straightened his hat: "Jia Ming, why do you always put your hat on crookedly?"

The kid raised his chin: "You're so bullish, how cool!"

Yan Zhen almost choked on his saliva, looked at this car, and then at this person.ox!Simply!

She recovered her breath and said, "Did you tell Uncle where we are going?"

"Say it!" The child patted his chest, "Teacher, don't worry!"

Whether it is a child or Yan Zhen, it is the first time to come here.Looking at the vast grassland and the occasional smoke from the roofs of one or two families, Yan Zhen would sigh, why did he choose such a peaceful place for military exercises?
It is estimated that she will never understand this question.

Yan Zhen smiled lightly, stepped forward and asked the driver: "Master, it's getting dark today, how long will it take to arrive?"

The master said in unskilled Mandarin: "immediately."

After talking and walking for a while, when it was completely dark, Yan Zhen finally saw a bright light flashing ahead.But she still has some doubts, because the light is too weak, it doesn't look like a town.There was a cold wind blowing, Yan Zhen shrank his neck and hugged the child tightly.After a day's journey, the child was also tired, so he snuggled into her arms: "Are you there yet?"

"Soon." She controlled her voice, trying to make it sound smooth.

Sure enough, the car stopped after Yan Zhen said these two words.

"Are you there?" Yan Zhen asked with wide eyes.

The coachman smiled honestly, pointed to the gate not far away and said, "Barracks, no entry."

barracks? !The coachman sent them directly to the barracks?Yan Zhen was extremely astonished, but the cold wind made her brain buzz. She grabbed Gu Jiaming's hand and asked, "Jiaming, why did you tell Uncle? Why did he send us here directly?"

The child was blinded by the wind, rubbed his eyes, looked at Yan Zhen's serious expression, and unconsciously softened his voice a little: "I said, my father is a soldier, I want to find him!"

really!Yan Zhen slapped her forehead hard. She was confused, and she couldn't count on this little guy for everything.I don't know where this place is now.The coachman was pulling the mule over there and was about to leave. When Yan Zhenzhen wanted to grab the coachman and ask what happened, suddenly several rays of light came from the camp in the distance, and there were crowds of people dangling in the shadow of the lights, making slight noises. , but not noisy.With this weak light, Yan Zhen saw clearly a car parked in the camp. Before she could think of anything, the child beside her suddenly let go of her hand, rushed to the front and shouted: "Yan Zhen Teacher! Tanks!"

Yan Zhen hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was obviously too late.Because in an instant, several more intense rays of light shot towards them from all directions.They have nothing to hide.

The kid Gu Jiaming was obviously taken aback, and stood there motionless, while the barking of dogs came from a distance from low to high, Yan Zhen quickly regained his senses and protected the kid behind him.

I saw another strong flashlight beam shooting towards the two of them, Yan Zhen stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and he could vaguely see a person leading a dog, running towards the two of them.

"What are you doing?" came a male voice with an accent.

Yan Zhen withdrew his arm, half-closed his eyes, and saw the person coming.It was a non-commissioned officer, the thick stripes on the shoulder straps were particularly obvious under the strong light, and the military dog ​​he was leading was barking at them.Yan Zhen felt that Jia Ming's hand was pulling her clothes tightly, so she could only hold back her fear: "I'm sorry, we came from another city, and the car broke down on the way, so this master..." She turned to look for the driver, It turned out that the coachman had already left with the mule, Yan Zhen paused, and could only recover, and asked the sergeant: "Dare to ask, where is this?"

The non-commissioned officer looked them up and down: "I don't know where this is, just wandering around?"

In a word, both the big and the small bowed their heads.

The non-commissioned officer said solemnly: "This is the grassland training ground of the [-]st Regiment." There is a squad stationed in this training ground, which is dedicated to guarding the oil pipeline and providing supplies for passing vehicles.Fortified on three sides, one of which is a natural barrier with the help of bushes.

I see.Yan Zhen calculated silently in his heart, and tried to smile: "Then, how far is S Town?"

Hearing this, the sergeant gave her a strange look, raised his finger and pointed in a direction: "Twelve o'clock."

"Ah?" Yan Zhen almost blurted out, so town S is in the completely opposite direction?
Perhaps aware of her thoughts, the sergeant nodded a little reluctantly: "You have come to the wrong place."

Yan Zhen looked at Xiao Jiaming with some dejection, a sense of frustration surged from the bottom of his heart.The non-commissioned officer looked at them and did not speak, the two sides were silent, suddenly a soldier ran over from a distance, saluted the non-commissioned officer and said: "Squad leader, Division D is going to have a meal with us tonight, how do you arrange it?" ?”

"How do you say it, let's do it in a better way. The supply truck just came over a few days ago, so I picked it up."

It turned out that this non-commissioned officer was the squad leader.

Xiao Bing led away, and the remaining squad leader stared at the two of them.

Xiao Huozhe rolled his eyes and looked at the squad leader in front of him: "Uncle, you are also a soldier, right?"

Facing the cute child, the squad leader's facial expression finally relaxed: "Is my military uniform fake?"

After getting the answer he wanted, the child smiled triumphantly: "My father is also in military uniform."

"Who is your father?"

"My father is Gu Huaiyue." The little guy announced proudly. He looked at the squad leader's rank and became even more proud. "My father has several stars on his shoulders."

The monitor's expression changed instantly.Yan Zhen quickly pulled Xiao Jiaming to stop the little guy from showing off.She looked at the monitor apologetically, only to see the monitor stand up straight, and saluted her straight: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment, what, what's going on?

Seeing Yan Zhen's expression, the squad leader put down his hands in embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."

Yan Zhen: "..."

The squad leader Lao Geng explained to Yan Zhen with a blushing face, and Yan Zhen finally understood.

The [-]st Regiment to which this prairie garrison training ground belongs is a regiment of Division A, and naturally he has already heard of the great name of the division chief of staff.But the family of the chief of staff, the squad stationed on the grassland, had never seen it before.Squad leader Lao Geng embarrassedly scratched his cut-off forehead, yelled at the still barking military dog, and led them inside: "I'm so sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't expect that our grassland three It's a surprise that Ban can still come to the military family."

Yan Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment: "Yeah, it's a surprise to come here."

"It just so happened that today's exercise ended, and a small part of Division D retreated to our 827. They have a car over there. Let's see if we can send you to our division's command post."

Yan Zhen was a little surprised: "The exercise is over?"

Lao Geng smiled, showing two rows of big white teeth: "Yes."

"Then, your chief of staff, where are they?"

Lao Geng looked around and pointed to the nine o'clock direction over there: "It's not far from S Town, a dozen kilometers away. But it's far away from our place, seventy to eighty kilometers away."

Yan Zhen's eyes suddenly went dark, and she finally recovered, and she asked Squad Leader Geng: "Who are those here?"

"He's from Division D."

Squad leader Geng said that as soon as he opened the door, the first row of jeeps and armored vehicles dazzled Yan Zhen's eyes. The people here are all from the command post of Division D, and they are preparing for a dinner for a while. Passed by.Several military officers walked past them, all showing a hint of surprise in their eyes.Squad leader Geng greeted them with a smile, and said to Yan Zhen, "Sister-in-law, let's go in."

Squad leader Geng led them to a door and knocked on the door. After a while, a captain came out. Squad leader Geng quickly saluted and asked, "Is Master Shen there? There is something to report here." one time."

The captain frowned: "What's the matter, tell me."

Squad leader Geng looked at Yan Zhen, hesitated for a moment, and was hesitating whether to say or not, a deep male voice came from the room: "What's the matter?" Accompanied by the voice came a black shadow, Yan Zhen raised his head, Looking directly at this oppressive person - Shen Mengchuan.

Squad leader Geng stood up straight, saluted again, and explained the whole story.Shen Mengchuan listened carefully, and looked at Yan Zhen and Jia Ming from time to time with a pair of dark eyes, which contained deep exploration or playfulness.

"The family of Gu Huaiyue, Chief of Staff of Division A?" Shen Mengchuan repeated lightly, casting a sharp gaze on the two people in front of him, "Why do you look like this? Don't be a lie, right?"

Yan Zhen was furious, and the kid also gave him a look: "You're a liar!"

Shen Mengchuan looked down at the little guy, and suddenly smiled: "Zhang Qi, call the command post of Division A and ask them Chief of Staff Gu to come pick him up quickly. This kind of treatment, I can't wait to reunite with my family as soon as the exercise is over."

Yan Zhen frowned: "We came by ourselves, he didn't know." She regretted it as soon as she said the words, and sure enough, the smile in Shen Mengchuan's eyes became stronger.

Squad leader Geng saw that there was no room for interruption, scratched his head and ran out to prepare for the dinner.In the huge empty room, only one of them, one big and one small, was left to face off against Shen Mengchuan, and Zhang Qilian's whispers on the phone came from behind him from time to time.

Shen Mengchuan grabbed a chair and sat down, then raised his chin to Yan Zhen: "Aren't you tired from standing? Sit down."

Yan Zhen glanced at him, and sat down next to the sofa with Jia Ming, looking a little wary.

Shen Mengchuan smiled relaxedly: "You don't have to be nervous. Speaking of which, Gu Huaiyue and I are still soldiers who graduated from the same military academy, so we still have some friendship. I guarantee that you will be sent to 953 safely." With a cigarette, Xiao Jiaming sneezed immediately.

Yan Zhen also smiled slightly: "Thank you, but, can you pinch the cigarette, the child can't smell the smoke."

Shen Mengchuan glanced at her indifferently, but actually put out the cigarette.After a while, Zhang Qi's voice came: "Report, 953 is busy and cannot be connected."

Shen Mengchuan didn't turn his head back: "Then pick up their group, if not, we'll deliver it ourselves."

Zhang Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, dialed a number, and this time he got through.

Shen Mengchuan looked at Yan Zhen: "The regiment of division A is not very far from us, it should arrive before 953, you just wait here patiently." After speaking, he patted his trouser legs and walked out.Watching his back, Yan Zhen vaguely felt that this person was a bit strange.But such a thought just passed by in a flash, she was too tired, so she just took advantage of this time to take a rest.

Not long after, a horn sounded outside, and it seemed that the person who picked them up had arrived.

Captain Zhang Qi looked at Yan Zhen and Jia Ming with a smile this time, and invited the older one and the younger one out.

Shen Mengchuan stood on the steps, frowning and looking at the major in front of him: "Where is your regiment leader, why doesn't he come?"

The major in his 40s saluted lightly: "Our regiment leader is busy, so he sent me here."

Shen Mengchuan turned around and called Zhang Qi: "Why did you tell them?"

"Just say that there are two people here and ask him to pick them up."

Shen Mengchuan was at a loss for words, and waved to them: "Let's go, hurry up and pick them up."

Faced with this attitude, Yan Zhen didn't bother to thank him anymore, and directly dragged the kid over and got into the major's car.

The major didn't say a word, and he formally greeted Yan Zhen when the car slowly drove out of the 827 station.The major is Jiang Songnian, the deputy battalion commander of a battalion under the jurisdiction of the regiment.He straightened the rearview mirror, and smiled at the two people in the back row from there: "I grew up older than the staff officer, so my sister-in-law stopped barking."

Yan Zhen was a little embarrassed: "It's really troublesome for you."

Jiang Songnian drove the car easily: "It's okay, that person just now is Shen Mengchuan, the acting commander of Division D. He wanted our regiment leader to pick him up in person. Our division won this exercise, and he was arrogant and somewhat dissatisfied. "

Yan Zhen's eyebrows stretched.

The little girl Gu Jiaming was now energetic. He stood up and looked at the night on the grassland. After a while, his stomach gurgled twice, and he looked at Yan Zhen pitifully: "I'm hungry."

Yan Zhen took out his schoolbag and raised his head: "You have eaten up all our food reserves."

The kid immediately pursed his mouth.

Jiang Songnian smiled at the front: "Be patient, I'll be at Dad's place soon, and let the uncle in the cooking class cook something delicious for you."

Yan Zhen asked: "Is it still far?"

"It's not far away." As he spoke, the car turned a corner and drove straight into the 953 station.After the car stopped, Yan Zhen led Jia Ming out of the car, and took a rough look at it. This place is not much different from the previous training ground on the grassland, and it is also having a meal at the moment.

"You wait here first, I'll go find the chief of staff." Jiang Songnian said, turned around, and suddenly smiled, "Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, you see."

Yan Zhen looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a few people standing under a big tree, their postures were tall and straight, and she could see clearly even if they were hidden in the shadows.Jiang Songnian trotted over there, but Yan Zhen remained motionless as if his feet had been frozen.She worked so hard to bring Jia Ming all the way here just to meet him, maybe she was too anxious, when it came time to meet, she found that she didn't even think about the opening remarks.

At this moment, Gu Huaiyue has no premonition of the upcoming "big trouble".He stood with Liu Xiangdong and smiled slightly as he watched the wolf-hunting soldiers.This time, this group of young lads have been tossed badly, and now they are stuffing their stomachs desperately when they catch food.The pony stationed at the training ground ran over and saluted the two: "Report to the chief, the dinner is ready."

Liu Xiangdong nodded, then patted Gu Huaiyue on the shoulder: "Huaiyue, have a drink?"

Gu Huaiyue smiled lightly: "I'll accompany you."

Their dinner was set in the house, and Xiao Ma was happily watching the two heads of Division A walking towards the table he had carefully arranged, when a thunder suddenly sounded behind him.

"Father—" the crisp child's voice.

There was silence, silence.

The group of soldiers who had been working hard just now suddenly raised their heads, and all their eyes turned to the source of the voice - Gu Jiaming.

Facing such a staring salute, Yan Zhen almost had the urge to hide his face and go away, but the child didn't realize it, while holding Yan Zhen's little finger to prevent her from escaping, he looked at the tall man in camouflage uniform. The back shouted: "Dad—"

Xiao Ma has come to his senses this time, and the two leaders who were walking in front have also regained their senses.

Gu Huaiyue was a little unbelievable at first, paused slightly, and turned around.A black figure quickly stood in front of him, saluted him squarely, and grinned to show his big white teeth.

Jiang Songnian smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, the family members have been successfully transferred to you."

And the attention of the man in front of him was obviously not on his words, his eyes fell on the two people behind him.

It turned out to be Yan Zhen and Gu Jiaming!
Gu Huaiyue flicked his eyebrows, greatly surprised.Seeing that the two were still hiding behind the jeep, Gu Huaiyue couldn't help gritting his teeth, and everyone who could see it saw it!
He looked at Liu Xiangdong, turned around and strode forward without saying anything.Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something. He stopped, turned his back, and looked at the soldiers whose eyes were the size of copper bells.The soldiers were also very knowledgeable, and they all continued to bury their heads in their meals, and the brave ones only dared to take a few glances there from the corner of their eyes.

Wife of the Chief of Staff!This is the first time they have met!

Gu Jiaming and Yan Zhen.

Looking at these two people, Gu Huaiyue narrowed his eyes.

The kid was a little nervous when he saw him, so he couldn't help leaning towards Yan Zhen.And Yan Zhen is also pretending to be calm at the moment. It is really not 01:30 to let her spy on his emotions through that unchanging face.

Gu Huaiyue folded his hands behind his back, looked at the two of them with lowered eyebrows for a while, and finally said, "Sure enough."

Those two short words caused Yan Zhen and Gu Jiaming to look up at him together.Gu Huaiyue paused, glanced at the two of them, and then slowly said the second half of the sentence: "Every time I have a bad premonition, there will be a big trouble."

Gu Jiaming and Yan Zhen bowed their heads in silence.Gu Huaiyue couldn't help rubbing his temples with his fingers, he felt a headache, really a headache.Opening his eyes, he saw the kid carefully rolling his eyelids and looking at him.Now you know you're afraid?Gu Huaiyue glanced at him lightly: "Gu Jiaming!"

The voice was so low that the kid shivered immediately, it was so pitiful.

"Whose idea?"

They all called their names directly, and asked who's idea.The kid pouted, but didn't speak.

Yan Zhen also felt that she should say something, she shook his little hand, and raised her head: "Gu—Huai Yue." She thought about calling out his name, and saw his eyes looking at her the next second Come.She tried not to be intimidated by the imposing manner in his eyes, and said softly: "Jiaming is hungry..." As soon as the words came out, even she felt that she had no momentum, but she had to continue: "So, what do you want? Training, just wait for a while."

Gu Huaiyue stared at her indifferently. On his fair face, there were signs of embarrassment and fatigue after a long night's journey, but his expression was calm, faint, and a little nervous.

He looked at the posture of the two pulling away, and suddenly felt a little funny.He was as old as the combined ages of these two people, and it would be too ridiculous to be angry with them.

After thinking for a while, he bent down, looked at Gu Jiaming with a serious expression, and remained motionless.He didn't stand up until the kid couldn't hold back and started to move around, and flicked the kid's head with his hand: "Eat first, and I'll clean you up after eating!"

The kid pursed his lips, but Yan Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"pony."

Xiao Ma, the squad leader at the side, came up at the right time: "Chief of Staff, what meal?"

"Just make some hot dishes and get some steamed buns." Turning around, Gu Huaiyue asked, "Is that okay?"

Do the dejected two still dare to say no?Captives are not eligible for food and treatment!
The pony moved very neatly, and it didn't take long for the dishes to be served.

A potato shreds, a tomato scrambled eggs, plus a small plate of sliced ​​beef.Gu Jiaming took the steamed bun and ate it happily.The kid usually doesn't eat much, but today he quickly wiped out two steamed buns. Yan Zhen watched with concern as the kid moved towards the third steamed bun. If he continued to eat like this, would he still be able to sleep?
Xiao Ma also asked attentively: "Is it enough? There are steamed buns in the kitchen, how many more shall I get for the little guy?"

Yan Zhen quickly rejected Xiao Ma's kindness.

Liu Xiangdong shook the pony with his belt: "Don't be so courteous as soon as you see a sister-in-law, do you think this little guy can eat twelve steamed buns at a time without blinking?"

The little guy raised his head in a hurry, and protested with a mouth full of steamed buns: "When I grow up, I can too!"

Mr. Liu let out a hey in novelty, looking at the children with joy.

Yan Zhen felt a little embarrassed, and patted the little guy on the head, asking him to stop.Yan Zhen didn't eat a few mouthfuls of dinner tonight, he was hungry at first, but he seemed to be hungry, his stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so he lost his appetite.

After a while, the children were finally full.He put down his chopsticks, rubbed his bulging belly and asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Ok?"

Asking the child, Yan Zhen realized that Gu Huaiyue hadn't been seen since he came in.She stood up, and just as she thought about going outside to take a look, she saw Gu Huaiyue coming in with a bucket of rice.

He glanced at Yan Zhen, then turned his gaze to Gu Jiaming.He looked at the little guy a little hairy, the more he stared at the little guy, the more the little guy dodged, guilt was written all over his face!
"Are you sleepy?"

"Sleepy." The child yawned very cooperatively.

Gu Huaiyue snorted, and beckoned Xiao Ma to take him to sleep in the packed duty room.Originally, the accommodation at the training ground was tight, but suddenly there were two more family members, and the duty room had to be vacated temporarily.

Yan Zhen stood up with Xiao Jiaming, Gu Huaiyue raised his head, and suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute."

Yan Zhen had no choice but to sit down again, watched him put the rice bucket in front of her, and said intuitively, "I'm not hungry." He had been outside just now, how could he know that he didn't eat?

"It's porridge." He didn't look up, "I feel sick to my stomach, you can drink a little."

"You, how do you know?"

Yan Zhen couldn't continue, because she already knew how keen his observation skills were.Gu Huaiyue served the porridge gently, when the door curtain was suddenly lifted, and the pony's head squeezed in: "Sister-in-law, try it, with sugar added."

Well?There is still someone outside the door listening to the wall?Yan Zhen was speechless, but Gu Huaiyue twitched the corners of his mouth, and handed the porridge to Yan Zhen: "Drink."

Staring at the bowl of porridge, Yan Zhen slightly bent his lips and picked up the spoon.

duty room.

Because several layers of thickened cushions are laid, the camp bed does not feel so thin when lying on it.The child was covered with two layers of quilts and fell asleep peacefully in the posture of bowing into a small shrimp, but Yan Zhen felt a little insomnia.

She opened the curtains at the head of the bed, quietly staring at the night of the grassland, the wind passing by, bringing a low whistling sound.There is a row of dim street lights in the training ground. Through this thin layer of light, Yan Zhen can almost see the soldiers standing guard in the sentry not far away. The tall and straight military posture looks like a tree standing on the grassland for a long time.Looking at everything unfamiliar in front of her, she suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.

With that in mind, she stood up.First, he tucked up the quilt for the little scourge, put on the military overcoat he had covered his body while sleeping, and then opened the door and went out.

She tried her best to be as light as possible, but there was still a bang when the door was closed, Yan Zhen was startled.After a while, she calmed down before she dared to take a step.

Grassland, so quiet.The grassland is also cold.

Yan Zhen tightened his coat and stood under a big tree. Looking from here, there were solemn and mighty armored vehicles parked there.Although it is silent, the remaining power is still there.Yan Zhen subconsciously didn't approach, just stood here, watching quietly, looking at this thing that only existed in his world.These are both strange and familiar to her.

Walking along the path, there are rows of neat barracks, which should be some years old, and it can be seen that they are dilapidated by the faint light.Suddenly there were rustling footsteps ahead, she looked up hesitantly, and saw a long figure walking from the front, the flashlight in her hand was shining faintly.

The man seemed to sense a heavy figure standing in front of him, he scanned the front with a flashlight, and instantly met his eyes - it was Gu Huaiyue.

When Gu Huaiyue saw her, he was only stunned for a second, then walked over unhurriedly holding a flashlight, looked at her who was huddled in the military coat, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you come out?"

Yan Zhen looked at him, and it took him a long time to recover: "I can't sleep." She also felt strange, obviously she was tired all day, and she should fall asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, but she didn't expect to lie there, but just Silently lost in thought.

"Is it a problem with the bed?" Gu Huaiyue thought about it, "Jia Ming doesn't sleep well, if not, add another bed."

Yan Zhen shook her head: "No." She smiled, "I am, I suddenly want to walk."

Gu Huaiyue's thoughts moved slightly, and just as he was about to say something, a beam of light shot towards them - it was the flashlight in the hand of the sentinel, and Yan Zhen subconsciously covered it with his arm, only to see Gu Huaiyue lightly gesture, then Daoguang quickly disappeared.

"Don't move around easily at night." He whispered, "There are sentries on guard, and it is easy to alarm him."

"Yeah." Yan Zhen replied, silently following behind him, with a slightly embarrassed expression.But besides the embarrassment, she didn't expect to ask him why he didn't go to bed so late.

In fact, Gu Huaiyue was about to fall asleep, but when he heard the noise from downstairs, he was afraid that something was wrong, so he got up and followed.The camp bed was a bit narrow and hard, so it was only natural that she didn't sleep well, so Gu Huaiyue didn't say anything more.He stopped and looked back at Yan Zhen, Yan Zhen was a little baffled by his sudden gaze.

"Do you like looking at the stars?"

"what?"

"There is an observatory built by soldiers over there, do you want to go and see it?"

"Aren't you going back to the house?"

"Just walk if you can't sleep." Gu Huaiyue said, "Just keep your voice down."

After being stunned for a moment, Yan Zhen smiled slightly: "Okay."

Although it has such a good name as an observatory, it is actually a simple stone pier.Sitting there, Yan Zhen looked up at the bright stars in the sky, and suddenly felt brightened.Gu Huaiyue sat down with her, but he only wore a camouflage training uniform on such a cold night.

"Is not It Cold?"

"I'm used to it," he said. "I used to be a soldier in Tibet. The altitude is above 4000 meters, and it's much colder than here."

He served as a soldier in Tibet?Served as a soldier in such a bitter place?Yan Zhen felt unbelievable for a moment.

"It's really cold there at night." Gu Huaiyue said, with the gentleness of someone who is caught in memories.

"Isn't that why you can't see the stars at night?"

"You can see it," he said, "when you look up."

Yan Zhen looked up almost subconsciously, and the stars in the sky met again unexpectedly, a wonderful feeling arose spontaneously.She suddenly smiled: "Today was the first time I rode in a mule cart. I only complained that the road was too far and the grassland was too big, but I forgot to look up."

Such a beautiful scenery can also comfort people.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Huaiyue said, "Jia Ming is spoiled by the family."

"It's okay." Yan Zhen smiled and said, "It's a child who longs to spend his birthday with his parents."

Birthday?Gu Huaiyue was startled for a moment, and then couldn't stop laughing: "Little brat, I found a good reason."

Yan Zhen looked at him with some puzzlement, Gu Huaiyue said angrily: "His birthday is in April."

In other words, she was cheated, by a seven-year-old kid.

Yan Zhen was speechless for a while, looking up at the stars in the sky, all of them were shining like the sly eyes of a child blinking.After a while, Yan Zhen smiled, inexplicably relaxed. "Actually, I can understand the little guy's thoughts." She said, "When I was young, my father was far away from me. At that time, my greatest wish was to see him."

Gu Huai turned his head to meet her bright smiling eyes.Yan Zhen paused slightly and said, "My father is also a soldier."

Gu Huaiyue raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, which was a surprise to him.

Yan Zhen was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't hide his pride: "Although my father's military rank is not very high, he has one of the characteristics of a professional soldier, that is, he is away from home for many years. My father was in a I served as a soldier in the Intercontinental Missile Brigade and served as the deputy battalion commander in a battalion. When I was young, I hoped that my father could celebrate my birthday with me one day. At that time, I didn’t understand his busyness. Later, my father told me that the military Obedience to orders is a bounden duty." At this point she smiled: "Do you think soldiers like to use this as an excuse?"

Her voice became lower and lower, as if she was muttering to herself.Gu Huaiyue tilted his head and looked at her with her head lowered, with a rare confused look on her face.After a long time, he said, "It's not an excuse."

Yan Zhen raised his head and met his gaze.

"Your father is a qualified soldier."

Yan Zhen was silent for a while, and after a while, he whispered two words: "Thank you."

In the army, rest can be said to be the most extravagant thing.Although Division A had won a great victory in the exercise that had ended, it was only around six or seven in the morning, and this group of soldiers got up for daily morning exercises without relaxing at all.

Yan Zhen was woken up by the roar of people coming from the window. He sat on the bed in a daze for a moment, opened the curtains, and looked out the window.

The group of soldiers had just returned from a five-kilometer run, and they were standing upright in the middle of the training ground.Teacher Liu Xiangdong stood at the front and said something, while Gu Huaiyue stood far away, with a calm and serious expression.

After watching quietly for a while, Yan Zhen put down the curtains and began to dress and wash.The other side of the bed was empty, and the little one must have woken up early.And she was in such a deep sleep that she didn't notice it at all.

She came back a little late last night.Thinking about it now, Yan Zhen would find it a bit unbelievable that she could watch the stars in the middle of the night with such a taciturn man?If she had a little girlishness, she would probably think it was a romantic thing.

Yan Zhen shook his head with a smile, and began to wash his face with water in his hands.

The water temperature was not too high, Yan Zhen gritted his teeth and insisted on finishing the wash.Suddenly, I heard the door creak, and a small figure came in from outside the door, it was Gu Jiaming's little friend.

She glanced at him and saw the little guy pouted, seeming a little unhappy: "What's wrong?"

The child sat by the bed, pouted and said, "Dad said, I will go home after breakfast."

"Isn't that nice?"

"What the hell." The kid gave her a white look, "Let's just go home!"

Yan Zhen laughed: "Are you going to let Dad go home with us? He's busy."

The little guy pursed his mouth and didn't speak.

After a while, the pony brought in the breakfast, and Yan Zhen hurriedly arranged for the children to have breakfast.Not long after breakfast, he heard the roar of a helicopter coming from outside. Yan Zhen went out to see that a helicopter had landed in an open space not far away.Gu Huaiyue and Liu Xiangdong were waiting outside. When Yan Zhen walked out, he ran into Political Commissar Gao Xianggao who was coming down the stairs.Commissar Gao went to the director's department last night and just came back this morning. Hearing that his family members came last night, it was Gu Huaiyue, chief of staff, and he immediately became interested.He straightened his hat and looked at Yan Zhen: "Is it Huaiyue's family?"

Yan Zhen glanced at Commissar Gao and nodded.Commissar Gao smiled kindly: "Don't be nervous, I'm Gao Xiang, the political commissar of Division A, hello."

Yan Zhen shook hands with him.

"I've been working with Huai Yue in Division A for so long, and it's the first time his family members have come. The conditions here are not good, and you have to forgive me for not taking good care of them."

Yan Zhen was flattered, and quickly shook her head: "It's okay." She smiled awkwardly: "It's the wrong time for us to come."

Political Commissar Gao shook his head, seeing a few people walking towards them in the distance, knowing that there was not enough time to greet them, he smiled and said: "The commander of the military region is here, the old chief of Huaiyue, do you want to go out and have a look?"

"Me? Can it?" Yan Zhen couldn't make up his mind.

"Let's go."

Xi Shaofeng was accompanied by Zhao Qishan, the commander of the group army of Division A.After getting off the plane, he saw the waiting crowd. Liu Xiangdong quickly handed over a coat to the chief, but Xi Shaofeng waved it away.

"The prairie is windy, so you should wear it, Commander."

Xi Shaofeng stood up straight, staring at him with a pair of eyes: "What is it, don't wear it!"

Liu Xiangdong looked at Gu Huaiyue with a bitter face, and Gu Huaiyue nodded, signaling him to stay calm.Xi Shaofeng is not in good health, not many people in the military region know about it.Before the start of the last military exercise, he went to the military area with Liu Xiangdong, and happened to meet a health doctor who came to check him up.The healthcare doctor had been with Mr. Gu for a while, and after chatting with him for a while, he accidentally revealed Xi Shaofeng's condition - liver cancer, early stage.

Zhao Qishan followed behind Xi Shaofeng: "This time you beat Division D badly enough."

Liu Xiangdong said loudly: "The exercise is designed to test the combat capabilities of the commanders, soldiers and officers and soldiers. If it is not fully utilized, how can it be called a test?"

"Whose idea was it not to follow the exercise plan?"

Liu Xiangdong choked. This idea was first proposed by the head of the regiment, but it was also approved by him as the head of the division.No matter how you can’t get rid of it, the original words of the head of the first group: “I don’t want to treat the exercise as a play, the script is set for you, so what’s the point of fighting!”

"That's good too, remind Master D to pay attention to flexibility." Gu Huaiyue said.

Zhao Qishan gave him a sideways glance as soon as he ascended, but Commander Xi smiled, and turned to look at the only Confucian general under his command: "You kid, you're still the same, you usually keep your head silent, and you are very calculating."

Gu Huai smiled lightly and said nothing.

Commissar Gao gave a military salute to Xi Shaofeng and Zhao Qishan from afar.Xi Shaofeng nodded at him, but his eyes fell on a small man beside him.I saw that the little guy was wearing a beret, staring at him with two bright eyes, not afraid of strangers, just looking at him directly, full of curiosity. "Whose family does this little baby belong to?" He instinctively looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Commissar Gao smiled and wanted to introduce, but he changed his words when he saw the child's father still standing there: "It's not from my family."

Xi Shaofeng turned to look at Liu Xiangdong: "Your?"

Master Liu smiled and shook his head: "I'm not so honored."

Xi Shaofeng's gaze finally landed on Gu Huaiyue, with disbelief on his face, but that person just nodded calmly and said, "Mine."

Commander Xi immediately laughed, leaned down, and pinched the kid's face: "Don't say it, it looks a bit like it."

Gu Jiaming looked at the old grandfather in front of him, who also had Mai Youxing, how could he look so much more kind than his own grandfather, especially when he patted his face and asked, "Little guy, who did you come with?"

The little guy rolled his eyes, glanced at the old man Xi and then at his father, one with a friendly expression and the other with no expression.As a last resort, I took a step back and pulled out someone hiding behind the high political commissar——Yan Zhen.

A camouflage uniform and a wide hat half covered her face, but Yan Zhen was still a little embarrassed, brushed her hair, and bowed slightly to Commander Xi: "I brought him here."

As soon as the words came out, she immediately explained her gender - she was a woman.

Xi Shaofeng was startled, took off his big-brimmed hat, looked at Yan Zhen, then at Gu Huaiyue: "This is, your wife?"

Gu Huaiyue took a look at Yan Zhen and nodded, "Jia Ming is tightly bound, so Yan Zhen brought him here."

Yan Zhen looked at Xi Shaofeng and Zhao Qishan nervously, and unconsciously clenched the little guy's paws, making the little guy's eyebrows wrinkle, but he dared not cry out the pain.Because the expressions of the group of people in front of them are so strange, it seems that only the chief's father is quite normal.

Xi Shaofeng stared at Yan Zhen for a moment, and unexpectedly said three words: "Good, good, good!"

Yan Zhen was startled by his three confident words, his eyelids jumped, and he saw Xi Shaofeng stretching out his hand to her: "Hello."

Yan Zhen hurriedly held his right hand, the thick calluses made his hand hurt.Seeing Xi Shaofeng and Zhao Qishan walking towards the house, Yan Zhen let out a soft breath.

Gu Huaiyue fell to the last, and said to Yan Zhen: "Commander Xi is my old chief, so don't be nervous."

Yan Zhen looked at him and nodded.Gu Huaiyue leaned over and straightened Jia Ming's clothes, and said to Yan Zhen: "I can't send you off for now, if you want, you can take a walk here, I arranged for a private to accompany you." He said hello Xiao Zhang, the private soldier who stood on the night guard last night, came over.

"You accompany your sister-in-law around here."

"Yes!" Xiao Zhang saluted and smiled shyly.

Yan Zhen also smiled slowly, and watched Gu Huaiyue leave before turning his gaze away and saying, "Let's go."

The temperature difference in the grassland at the end of November is very large, and it is always covered thickly from morning to night.Yan Zhen couldn't help sighing when he saw Xiao Zhang's thin camouflage. Those who have been trained are really different, and their physical fitness is not at the first level at all.Even though Xiao Zhang is a first-year soldier, this walk seems to be going forward.Yan Zhen smiled, and while watching the little guy not letting him run around, he asked Xiao Zhang: "Xiao Zhang, don't you feel awkward walking like this?"

Xiao Zhang looked at her puzzled, Yan Zhen smiled even wider, and told him: "Relax, relax." She slowly followed behind him, looking around at the vast grassland.This was an unexpected vacation. I was used to the busy life in City C, but when I came to such a vast and boundless grassland, I felt relieved.

"Xiao Zhang, what does it look like when it snows on the grassland?" She was suddenly curious.

Xiao Zhang habitually scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm a recruit, and I haven't seen snow on the grassland yet."

"Are you looking forward to it?"

Xiao Zhang nodded and said a few more words: "My hometown is in a place in the south where it doesn't often snow. This is the first time I have come to the north, so I want to see the snow here. I heard from the squad leader that the snow here is as fast as it falls. It didn’t stop for several days and nights, and we worked hard when it snowed. Because we rely on the weekly supplies from the regiment, it’s hard for the regiment’s cars to come when it snows.”

That's how it turned out, she stared at the recruit in front of her who hadn't faded from her youthful immaturity: "Xiao Zhang, are you homesick?"

"It's a lie to say that you don't want to." Xiao Zhang lowered his head, but raised it up again after a while, with a firm expression on his face, "But I don't regret coming here either."

Yan Zhen smiled and continued to walk forward.She was suddenly curious, what was Chief of Staff Gu like when he was a recruit?What would his life be like on a plateau at an altitude of 4000 meters?Do you feel homesick too——

Stop it, stop it, stop it!She thinks too much!Yan Zhen covered his face and let himself quickly withdraw his thoughts.

After wandering around the grassland for a while, Yan Zhen and the children headed home.

When he returned to the training ground, it happened that Gu Huaiyue changed his clothes and came out.The straight uniform made Yan Zhen take another look: "Commander Xi is gone?"

"Just left." Commander Xi's trip was in a hurry, and Division D still had more work to do.It's no wonder that Major General Zhao Qishan said to them before he left: "You have added an important ideological task." Gu Huaiyue came back to his senses, and met the little guy's bright eyes: "Student Gu Jiaming , Are you full of food and sleep?"

The kid tugged at Yan Zhen's hand, turned his little head aside, and ignored him.Gu Huaiyue snorted, and tapped the little guy's head with the belt in his hand, not very hard, but the kid Gu Jiaming still came out with a bun face and glared at him angrily.

Seeing this, Liu Xiangdong hurried over and patted Gu Huaiyue on the shoulder: "It's almost done, don't lecture me too much, maybe this little guy will cry."

Gu Huaiyue wasn't in a good mood, this brat had no other characteristics, but thick-skinned, he bent down, and straightened his crooked hat: "I'm so good at training, I'd like to see him cry once." He said. After finishing, his finger was immediately grabbed and bitten.After letting go, the kid Gu Jiaming smiled triumphantly, and the three adults present couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

After breakfast, Political Commissar Gao was going to visit Huo Zhiyuan's regiment. Although the exercise was over, there was still a lot of work to be arranged by the leaders of their division.Several people were extremely busy, but even so, Gu Huaiyue still found time to drive them to the airport by himself.

Along the way, Gu Jiaming's children were listless.Yan Zhen was sitting in the front row, looking through the rearview mirror and seeing the little guy drooping his head, looking uninterested, he felt a little distressed.He may be tired. He exhausted all his energy yesterday in order to meet his father.

"Jia Ming, is it cold?" Yan Zhen asked him softly.

"It's not cold." The little guy lowered his head and fiddled with his broken old gun, and replied in a sullen tone.

When he looked back, he happened to meet Gu Huaiyue's gaze in the rearview mirror.He smiled lightly and shook his head.He was used to such partings.It's just that Yan Zhen suddenly wanted to ask him, did he feel any joy when he saw them or Gu Jiaming?I'm afraid it's more of a shock, she smiled wryly.

It was already twelve noon when we arrived in the city center of W City.When Gu Jiaming woke up from a nap, the first thing he felt was hunger, and his stomach rumbled in response to the scene.The little boy scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, and his eyes lit up when he saw Grandpa KFC who was close at hand.

"Dad, I want to eat this!"

"No." Gu Huaiyue resolutely denied, and parked the car in front of a flavor hotel.Opening the car door, seeing the little guy's pouted mouth, he flicked his little head: "Junk food, what a shame."

Gu Jiaming glared at each other instantly.

In order to appease the little guy's anger, Yan Zhen ordered a few of his favorite dishes.She didn't have a good appetite, but she ate a little because she was going to fly later.Gu Huaiyue parked the car, said hello to Yan Zhen, and then walked to the opposite shopping mall, saying that he was going to buy something.The kid was really hungry, and while eating the fried chicken, he sucked his fingers and asked, "Where's Dad?"

Yan Zhen rubbed his head: "Your father said to go out and come back later."

Sure enough, just after dinner, Gu Huaiyue came back, dressed in military green uniform, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Are you full, Gu Jiaming?"

Gu Jiaming rubbed his stomach, and gave the father who was extremely annoying at the moment a look.Gu Huaiyue stroked his little head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Yan Zhen understood that at the time of parting, he couldn't bear to teach this troublesome brat any more. She looked at him: "Don't you want to eat something?"

Gu Huaiyue shook his head: "Let's go."

Gu Huaiyue parked the car outside the airport, took the boarding pass, and walked towards Yan Zhen and Gu Jiaming who were waiting in the waiting hall with a black bag in his hand.He handed over the ticket to Yan Zhen, then bent down and looked at Gu Jiaming with a serious expression.

The kid who was drinking suddenly shivered and leaned towards Yan Zhen.Yan Zhen was a little confused, but it could be seen from Gu Huaiyue's eyes that he should be in a soft mode at the moment, and he would not make trouble with children.The smile in his eyes was obvious: "Student Gu Jiaming, don't come here without saying hello in advance like this next time."

"I want to surprise you." The little guy pouted.

Gu Huaiyue was silent for a few seconds, then snorted: "There is joy, but more surprise."

Little Gu Jiaming lowered his head again, and a surprise suddenly appeared in front of his eyes—it was a brand new toy gun, exactly the same as the previous one!Immediately, both eyes narrowed with a smile.

Gu Huaiyue slightly curled the corners of his lips. He had seen that broken gun as early as when the little guy was tossing it in the back seat of the car. It was a birthday present he bought for him. The kid broke it and even beat him up. shelf.He knows all these things, and he also knows that Yan Zhen helped him whitewash the peace.

He looked up at Yan Zhen, she was smiling softly, with two dimples on her cheeks.

"Dad, why did you give me a present?" the child asked while assembling the gun.

Gu Huaiyue took it over, packed it up for him, and handed it to him, saying, "Birthday present."

"Huh?" The child raised his head, remembered instantly, and covered his mouth.

Yan Zhen glanced at the confronting father and son, smiled, pinched Jiaming's face and said, "Little Gu Jiaming, do you like this gift?"

The kid swiped the floor and blushed.

"After you go back, you must be obedient and obedient. If you cause trouble again, you will be locked up."

"I know." The kid answered very obediently this time, with a pleasing smile on his face.

Gu Huai laughed softly, and when he met Yan Zhen's eyes, there was a soft light pouring out from the corner of his eyes that was too late to hide.Yan Zhen was startled, but also smiled slowly.
