Your promise, my sea

Chapter 7 Accompanying you to Tibet

When the plane landed, Yan Zhen felt a little uneasy.

She expected that the elders of the Gu family might have known about it, so she was extra careful when sending Jia Ming home.

In the afternoon, Gu Yuan was quiet. Yan Zhen knocked lightly on the door, and then someone answered the door. It was Mrs. Zhang. Seeing her and Jia Ming, she narrowed her eyes with a smile.

"coming?"

"Ah."

Yan Zhen smiled faintly, and handed the little guy's luggage to Aunt Zhang.As soon as Mrs. Zhang turned to leave, she saw Mrs. Gu Li Wan coming down the stairs.Yan Zhenxin raised her throat, but a certain ignorant little guy let go of her hand, ran up to hug Li Wan's leg and rubbed it: "Grandma!"

The coquettish offensive definitely works against Li Wan.She rubbed the child's head, smiled and glanced at Yan Zhen, then lowered her head and asked the child, "Did you have fun?"

The kid rolled his eyes, trying to play dumb, but Yan Zhen heard the voice of the old lady's words, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

The old lady laughed out loud.

In fact, Gu Huaiyue had already called the old lady to report it. If the old lady was a little worried before, she was happy now.Being able to take Jia Ming for such a trip shows that Yan Zhen really has Gu Huaiyue in his heart, so the old lady will be happy just thinking about it like this.

"Thank you for your hard work." The old lady looked at Yan Zhen with a very kind expression, "The little guy is hard to tease, and it's hard for you to take him on such a trip."

Yan Zhen shook his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.After such a hard trip, as long as one person is happy, it is worth it.

In mid-December, City C finally completely cooled down.

Mrs. Gu's health is not good recently, she doesn't like to go out very much when winter comes, and counts her days at home; Mr. Gu is freer than before, and Yan Zhen can often see him practicing calligraphy at home.Yan Zhen watched the old man shake his head while grinding ink for him, wrote a few words and put down the pen.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Yan Zhen asked, and handed him a cup of tea.

"Regret?" Li Wan floated past her, and said lightly, "Both sons have been sent to serve as soldiers, let's see who stays with you at home."

Gu Changzhi glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with being a soldier?"

"I don't see anyone all year round, what do you say?" Li Wan looked at him without fear, "I've suffered enough in this life, waiting for no one to see anyone." The words were full of complaints.

Yan Zhen took a careful look at Gu Changzhi, but the old man was not angry, he frowned a few times, and then opened his eyes again: "Okay, I will retire in two years, and I will stay with you at that time, so don't be annoyed." .”

"Rare!" With the next sentence, Li Wan walked towards the kitchen.

The old man smiled slowly at Yan Zhen, picked up the pen and wrote a few more words, and said unhurriedly: "I'm getting old. When I was young, I found this group of children to be troubled. When I'm old, I want to enjoy the blessings of my children and grandchildren." , but no one was found.”

Yan Zhen smiled, and put the words written by the old man aside to dry: "Then, do you regret it?"

Gu Changzhi shook his head, and gave her four words: "Everyone has his own destiny."

Some people are born with a blood in their bones and a military spirit in their bodies, and they can't stop it if they want to.

After recovering, Yan Zhen went to help Mrs. Zhang set the table.Ever since he came back from W City, Yan Zhen would come to Gu Garden one day a week to accompany the elders of the Gu family, and it was not uncommon for Yan Zhen to stay for dinner.Grandma didn't mind it very much. On the contrary, she told her that being someone else's daughter-in-law should be filial. What's more, Xiao Gu is not at home, and the responsibility on her shoulders is even heavier.

At the dinner table, Li Wan suddenly remembered something. After picking up a chopsticks of food for Jia Ming who was eating hard, he looked at Yan Zhen: "Xiao Zhen, has your grandma returned to the countryside?"

"Yeah." Yan Zhen nodded.This is the habit of their family. Every early December, the uncle will come to the city to pick up grandma back to the countryside.Because the winter is coming, even though the houses in the city are heated, grandma is still used to sleeping on the big earth kang at home, which is warm.

Li Wan nodded, then asked again: "Then Huaiyue gave you the key to his house. When are you going to move there?"

Yan Zhen was stunned for a long time before saying, "I think it's better not to move there for the time being."

"why?"

"It's just that I'm afraid that Jia Ming has been with your elders for a long time, and I'm not used to living there."

In fact, it was herself who was even more unaccustomed to it.She's not yet used to getting something that's not her own from someone who's both close and distant.

The old man who had not spoken all this time also put down his chopsticks at this time, and Yan Zhen went to pick up the empty bowl quickly.

"Don't eat." Gu Changzhi smiled, "I'm getting older, and my appetite is not as good as before." The old man stood up and walked upstairs slowly. After a while, he turned his body again, looked at Yan Zhen and said: " It’s better to move in. Both adults and children have to adapt slowly, and they will all belong to the same family in the future, so there should be no barriers.”

The old man came out in person, and Li Wan was naturally very happy: "Okay, this issue is settled like this."

Yan Zhen sat on the chair, a little dumbfounded.The little girl Gu Jiaming was happy and at ease. While peeling the shrimp, he enlightened Teacher Yan: "Teacher, Grandpa asked me about it last night."

"Ask you what?" Yan Zhen looked at him warily.

The child hummed twice: "Grandpa asked, would I like to live with you?"

"What did you say?"

The child said, "Of course I say yes, hehe."

Yan Zhen was silent, bowed his head and reflected.What's going on recently, this kid eats everything to death, it's really embarrassing!

Gu Huaiyue bought that two-bedroom house for a long time, and since no one lived there, he didn't take care of it.The old lady Li Wan took the time to inspect it these few days, and immediately decided to redecorate it.So, before the house was installed, Yan Zhen lived with Jia Ming in Gu Yuan.

Yan Zhen thought about it and decided that this is fine.After grandma returned to the country, she lived alone in that old house and was very lonely.Living here, she can not only take care of the two elderly people, but also keep company with the children.

"Jiaming is willing to live with you in that Huaiyue house because he likes you. If it's someone else, this little guy just ignores him."

In the vegetable market in the early morning, Mrs. Gu was talking and choosing fresh vegetables.Getting up early every day to go to the vegetable market with my daughter-in-law is a new habit the old lady has developed since Yan Zhen moved into Gu Yuan, and she never tires of it.

When Yan Zhen heard this, she lowered her head and smiled, and she suddenly remembered a sentence said by the child who came back from City C that day.

That night she stayed with him in Gu Yuan, and told him a bedtime story at night, and she got sleepy while telling him.While she was half asleep, the child squeezed her face and said, "Mr. Yan, you have passed the test of the organization!"

After Yan Zhen heard this, she lost all sleepiness, only crying and laughing.It's not easy to make this little guy like it.

Sighing, Yan Zhen suddenly heard the phone ringing in his bag.Pressing the answer button turned out to be an emergency call from Feng Zhan: "Sister-in-law, Jia Ming's grandmother called and said that she would pick up Jia Ming at noon and stay there for a while."

Yan Zhen was startled for a moment, glanced at Li Wan, and said, "Isn't Jia Ming still in class today?"

"Well. The other side just told us that there is no need to pick it up at night."

"Oh."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Zhen looked at the pile of children's favorite dishes in his hand, feeling a little overwhelmed.Seeing this appearance, Li Wan also felt very uncomfortable: "Actually, Jia Ming didn't have much affection for that place since he was a child. Besides Jia Ming, he has two other children, so he couldn't care less about taking care of him. When I was I mentioned it to your dad, but your dad said, after all, this child belongs to two families, and if they want to see you, you can’t object, can you?”

Yan Zhen also understood this, she brushed her hair and said to Li Wan: "I see, it's fine."

Li Wan was relieved by her understanding: "Hey, even if this little guy is gone, it doesn't take a minute for people to be safe at home."

Yan Zhen smiled.

She knew that the old lady was comforting her, knowing that she would feel lonely without the company of the little guy.Yan Zhen also told himself that he had to cheer up, lest the little guy find out and come back and laugh at her.

So it went on for two days.On the third day, a child who surprised Yan Zhen suddenly came to the house—the monitor of the class, Lin Xiaoxiao.

When Yan Zhen returned home, the little girl sat on the sofa in the hall with a face of frustration and disappointment, her mouth pouted.

Seeing her small appearance, Yan Zhen couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Xiao, what's the matter?"

"I can't find Gu Jiaming! I'm still waiting to go to the street with him to buy Christmas presents for my friends!"

Yan Zhen explained with a smile: "Jiaming has gone to his grandmother's house. If you want to find him, you have to go there."

Lin Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "Then you can't play anymore."

"Why?" she asked, handing the little girl a glass of milk.

The little girl bowed her head: "Grandma Gu Jiaming doesn't like him playing all the time, she likes to let him read and study."

No wonder children don't like to go to grandma's house.Yan Zhen looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's novel: "If Xiaoxiao is willing, how about the teacher going with you?"

The little girl stared at her for a while, then pouted and agreed.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao is young, she also knows that when she is in a bad mood, she needs to shop to vent her emotions. She took several dolls home from the store.Yan Zhen took the initiative to share part of it for her.The little girl asked Yan Zhen as she walked, "Mr. Yan, are you Gu Jiaming's new mother?"

New mother?This name sounds fresh to Yan Zhen: "Jia Ming said so?"

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Yesterday, Gu Jiaming quarreled with my brother again, because my brother's composition was rated as a model essay by the teacher and read in public."

"Is this the quarrel?"

"The title of the composition is "My Mother"." Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, "Who made my brother's cheeky monkey can't help showing off to others, so why don't we drive our commander into a hurry."

"Then how did the war subside?" Yan Zhen couldn't help laughing.

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her braid and said: "Our commander said something later, he said: 'I don't have a mother, but I have Teacher Yan, so you bastards are not allowed to laugh at me!'" Lin Xiaoxiao He imitated the tone of Gu Jiaming, commander of the Red Army, solemnly.When Yan Zhen heard this sentence, he fell silent, and after a long time, he chuckled and snorted: "This little guy knows how to be angry."

Lin Xiaoxiao drooped her head: "That's not right. After saying that, our commander cried. He cried miserably. This made Lin Zi, who has always been hard-pressed and not soft-hearted. So the matter developed to the end. , It turned out that the two little commanders shook hands and made peace, Mr. Yan, I have known him for so long, and I have never seen him cry so sadly. What he said is obviously a good thing!"

Yan Zhen suddenly choked up with difficulty.Because she was silent for a long time, Lin Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at her curiously: "Mr. Yan, why are your eyes so red?"

Yan Zhen smiled and wiped the corners of his eyes: "It's okay, the wind is too strong, and sand has entered."

On Christmas Eve, the first snow of the year fell in City C.The snow fell densely and urgently, and a piece of silvery white seemed to cover the entire city in an instant.

Yan Zhen came to the school in the snow, shivering all over from the cold.Director Chang, who was hanging a slogan on the wall of the library, couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this: "Come here in the snow?"

"Yeah." The snow was really heavy, and Mrs. Gu wanted Feng Zhan to send her to work.After thinking about it, Yan Zhen refused, and still rode the electric bike.

"Go get a cup of hot water."

Director Chang pushed her into the room, Yan Zhen smiled, and while walking towards the office, he listened to Chang Lao chanting the five big characters he pasted on the wall: Ruixue heralds a good year.

She still remembers explaining this proverb to the children in her class when she was a teacher. She said that a few heavy snowfalls in winter heralds a good harvest for the crops in the coming year.But the children don't care about this, it's snowing heavily, they only know one thing, and that is snowball fights.

Looking out from the window of the library, you can already see many children running happily on the playground.Yan Zhen looked at the crowd in a daze, she expected that little Gu Jiaming would also be there.Ben is a playful little guy, so he has to have a snowball fight in such a heavy snow to enjoy himself.

Thinking about it, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Yan Zhen's mouth: "Little scourge."

She looked out the window and said softly.

Due to the heavy snow, the planned new arrival of the book will be delayed for a few days.With nothing to do in the afternoon, Director Chang simply announced that everyone can leave work early.

Yan Zhen was very happy when he heard the news.She hadn't seen Gu Jiaming for many days, someone from the Lin family came to pick him up, and she got off work late, so every time she arrived at the teaching building, it was already empty.Now that he finally had time, Yan Zhen changed his clothes and went straight to the teaching area.

But when she just opened the door of the library, she froze there.

A snow doll stood there looking at her for a moment. Before she could see who it was, the snow doll jumped over and hugged her thigh and began to cry: "You are heartless, commander I will It's been a few days since I was abducted, and you don't even go to see me, woo woo, woo woo—"

This person is - Gu Jiaming?Yan Zhen almost couldn't believe it.

But the feeling of her head rubbing against her legs was so real, she lowered her head and patted the snowflakes off his body: "Ten days."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The little guy rubbed against her leg sadly.

"They abducted you for ten days." Yan Zhen didn't know how long he had been standing here waiting, a foolish child didn't even know to knock on the door to come in.She lightly brushed the snowflakes off his body, and seeing Gu Jiaming looking at her without blinking, she said, "So there are four more days!"

Every time I go to my grandmother's house, the children have to stay for two weeks before coming back.So now the kid is about to cry again when he hears what Yan Zhen said.

Seeing the little guy's usual shameless appearance, Yan Zhen finally smiled, which warmed his heart.She warmed the little guy's cheek with her hands and asked, "You really don't want to stay there?"

That is absolutely not happy!Gu Jiaming shook his head violently.

Seeing this, Yan Zhen could only pretend to sigh helplessly: "Alright then, I'll take you home."

The children immediately cheered and jumped up.Yan Zhen looked at him, smiled slightly and shook his head.

It would definitely be troublesome to bring this little guy home, because she had to carefully ride the bike in the snow while thinking of an excuse to tell the elders of the Gu family later, but it was a pity that she had already arrived at the door before she could think of an excuse.

There were two cars parked at the gate of Gu Yuan, one was the cheetah that had appeared at home, and the other car was unknown to her.Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are always people coming to the house these days, so Yan Zhen is no stranger to it.

She glanced at the person in front of her briefly, then turned her head and told the children: "Get out of the car slowly, don't slip and fall again."

The kid pouted: "I'm not that stupid."

As he spoke, the little guy slowly climbed off the electric car, turned around, and was stunned when he saw the car in front of him.

Yan Zhen looked at the little guy strangely, following his line of sight, his eyes widened suddenly, looking a little unbelievable.

The two stood in a daze for a while, and the little guy came to his senses first.As soon as the door of the car in front of him opened, he jumped excitedly at the person who had just bent down and got out of the car, shouting: "Dad!"

It's Gu Huaiyue, he's back.

Just as Gu Huaiyue got off the car, before he could stand still, he saw a chubby little fellow pounced on him.

He reached out to catch it almost subconsciously, picked it up and looked, a little surprised, it turned out to be Jia Ming.

"Shouldn't you be at grandma's house today? Why are you back?"

Gu Jiaming hugged his father's neck desperately: "Dad, don't send me away, I promise to be good!"

Gu Huaiyue laughed.He reached out and rubbed the little guy's head wearing a knitted hat, and looked at Yan Zhen.She was wearing a thick overcoat, and a sky blue scarf only exposed her two eyes, and those two clear eyes were staring blankly at him at the moment.After thinking about it, he put down his son and walked towards Yan Zhen.

The runaway little wild horse, Gu Jiaming, walked faster than him, and he ran to Yan Zhen happily: "Mr. Yan, my father is back."

Yan Zhen finally recovered from the shock of seeing him in the snow, and hugged the little guy with a low laugh: "Got it, see if you're happy."

Such an intimate scene was beyond Gu Huaiyue's expectation, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but his heart softened suddenly.He raised his head and met Yan Zhen's eyes.She looked at him and said softly, "You are back."

Gu Huaiyue hummed: "It's too cold outside, let's go in."

"it is good."

She took the little guy by the hand, followed him, and walked into the house.

Today is definitely the busiest day for the Gu family. There are many people sitting in the originally large and empty lobby on the first floor.Li Wan, the old lady of Gu, was holding a baby in her arms, and Mrs. Zhang beside her was also holding a baby in her arms. From time to time, the two of them got together to talk happily.

The mothers of the two babies, Liang He and his classmates, sat on the side, with a faint smile on their faces, turning their heads from time to time to say a few words to their husbands beside them.

I don't know what she said, but Gu Huaining's expression instantly became dumbfounding.Seeing this, Liang He pursed his lips, and just happened to see them enter the door, and his expression immediately became more colorful: "Second sister-in-law!"

Yan Zhen was shocked by this "second sister-in-law", and she blamed: "Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"

Liang He stuck out his tongue, and handed one of the twins to her for a hug. Yan Zhen took it carefully, with a tender little face that was extremely cute, and he stuck out his little tongue.What Yan Zhen hugged was the younger sister of the twins, this little girl could really sleep, even with so many people watching, she slept happily.

"Little girl is so good."

Yan Zhen sighed sincerely, and Liang He immediately frowned after hearing this: "Don't mention it, the little villain always sleeps during the day and is energetic at night. I have been tossed enough by her, second sister-in-law, look at my dark circles."

After finishing speaking, he leaned towards Yan Zhen, Yan Zhen was amused by her, and then lowered his head to look at the little baby, his brows and eyes were full of tenderness.

Gu Huaiyue just stood behind her and watched all this, until he was patted on the shoulder by his younger brother Gu Huaining, then he turned his head: "What?"

"Kid, hurry up."

Gu Huaiyue was startled, smiled slightly, and said, "Got it."

The old man had something to do today, so he came back a little late, but he was stuck in time for dinner.As soon as he stepped into the house, he was also infected by this lively atmosphere. The expression on his face was no longer so serious, his brows loosened, and he washed his hands and sat down: "Is this the only way to carry this child back?"

"I didn't fly, I drove all the way back."

The old man looked at his younger son: "Why, didn't you say you have to stay in the regiment on duty this year, why are you back now?"

Gu Huaining glanced at the old man amusedly, and didn't know who had called City B one after another: "The People's Liberation Army also has a holiday, why can't I go back?"

The old man snorted and looked at Gu Huaiyue: "What about you, how long can you stay at home this time?"

Gu Huaiyue put down his chopsticks and said, "It's similar to Huaining, but I have to go out in a few days."

"where to?"

"Tibet." He said, and picked up some food with chopsticks for Jiaming.

As soon as the words came out, everyone at the dinner table paused, only Yan Zhen lowered his head and ate in silence.

"Are you planning to go to Tibet just a few days ago?" Li Wan asked in disbelief.

"Well, I have already called there and the time has been set."

That is to say, this is to cut first and play later?Li Wan was at a loss for words.Liang He swallowed a mouthful of soup and asked, "Second brother, why are you going to Tibet?"

"Look at comrades."

"When can comrades-in-arms not go to see it?" Li Wan said, "It's not necessary to hurry up now, and it's just to see a comrade-in-arms. you--"

"Mom." Gu Huaiyue called to Li Wan and said in a low voice, "It's different."

With a slap, the old man put down his chopsticks, and looked at everyone present with a serious expression. He is Li Wan's hope at this moment, but the old man still said something that surprised her: "Okay, since you have decided to go, let's go. What kind of words are you talking here."

It finally fell silent.But it didn't take long before Yan Zhen could feel Li Wan's eyes falling on his hanging head.Sure enough, she heard Li Wan ask: "Then, what should Xiao Zhen do?"

In a word, everyone turned to her.The hand holding the chopsticks paused, and Yan Zhen had no choice but to look up: "I'm fine, I'll be at home with Jia Ming after the winter vacation. If possible, go back to my hometown to see grandma."

"It's okay." Gu Huaiyue said, looking at Yan Zhen, "If you want, Yan Zhen can go with me."

Yan Zhen was stunned.Tibet, go to Tibet with him?

Li Wan seemed to see her hesitation, so he wanted to use her to keep Gu Huaiyue behind: "Tibet is so cold, and Yan Zhen's health is not very good, how can you take her there?"

"I'm fine, Mom." Yan Zhen said very fast, then lowered his head, "I'll think about this issue."

A reunion dinner ended amidst this tangled issue.Of course, Li Wan didn't want Gu Huaiyue to go to Tibet. She wanted him to stay at home for a while, just to cultivate a relationship with Yan Zhen, but now it seemed that her plan was going to fail again.After thinking about it, she called Gu Huaiyue to her face with a tigerish face, and handed him a bunch of keys.It was the key to Gu Huaiyue's house, and Li Wan took it from her because she wanted to renovate it.

"Here, the house to the west of yours is almost finished. I won't stay overnight tonight. You take your wife and children home."

"Mom—" Holding the key, Gu Huaiyue couldn't laugh or cry.

The old lady spoke decisively: "Anyway, you don't listen to me, so what's the use of asking you to stay here."

Gu Huaiyue had no choice but to look at Yan Zhen and said to the old lady, "Then I'm really leaving?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm upset when I see you." The old lady waved her hand and went up to the second floor.His back is a little stooped, and he seems to be a little angry.In fact, from an angle where no one could see, the old lady was smiling happily.

Yan Zhen was actually the most innocent, but the old lady had no choice but to pack up her things and go home with Gu Huaiyue.The heartbeat was very fast throughout the whole process, because this was the first time the two of them lived together since they got married.

The house on the west side was bought six or seven years ago. At that time, Gu Huaiyue was about to be transferred from the special brigade. The old lady Gu was very happy when she heard the news. She thought that her son would be able to transfer back to City C this time, so she made the decision for him. Bought a house.

Unexpectedly, a few days after buying the house, news came from Gu Huaiyue, saying that he had been transferred to a Class A teacher in City B.The old lady almost fainted at that time.

The matter of the house was put on hold, and Gu Huaiyue only found out about it when he came home from a visit to relatives and heard about it from Mr. Gu.Feeling helpless and guilty for a while, he secretly transferred the house money to his mother afterwards, and the house officially fell into his name.

Because Gu Huaiyue seldom came back, the house here has been vacant.Some time ago, the old lady helped to redecorate it, but I don't know how it works.

Gu Huaiyue took Yan Zhen and the children upstairs, and fumbled for the key to open the door.In an instant, a gust of cold air rushed over.

"Cold." The kid muttered.

Yan Zhen also wrapped the scarf subconsciously: "Is the heating not turned on?"

After her reminder, Gu Huaiyue checked the heater, then walked out with her lips pursed.Looking at the expectant eyes of the two, he said, "I'll call the old lady."

The old lady seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and she said while eating sunflower seeds: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I contacted the property management a while ago and said that the heating in your house has not been hot, and it is time to change the pipe, why now? Haven't changed it yet, why is the speed so slow, complain to him!" Seeing that Gu Huaiyue didn't speak, the old lady added: "I said that if you feel cold, you can huddle together to sleep, there is no shortage of quilts. of."

It seemed that the old lady had planned it long ago, Gu Huaiyue hung up the phone calmly.

Yan Zhen couldn't hear what was on the phone, and couldn't see anything from his expression, so he asked, "What's going on?"

Gu Huaiyue rubbed his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled wryly: "The boat capsized in the gutter."

A house with two bedrooms and one living room, one on the shady side and the other on the sunny side.Gu Huaiyue opened the shady room, stood at the door for a while, then turned back, looked at the big and small standing in the living room, he only hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "Squeeze and sleep."

The kid was very happy to hear this, but Yan Zhen's face turned red suddenly.

The master bedroom has a large bed, which can accommodate three people sleeping vertically.

Yan Zhen stood in front of the bed in a daze for a while, took all the quilts out of the cabinet, and began to make the bed.There was no other way, she had just sneaked a look in the shady room, and it was too cold to sleep, so she had to sleep in a crowded place.

The light in the master bedroom was very soft, and Yan Zhen listened to the conversation between the father and son while laying the bed.

"Father, this gun is the main equipment of our army. Guess what Lin Zi and the others use?" The little guy said while showing off his gun.

Gu Huaiyue smiled, and asked flatteringly, "Well, for what?"

"Slingshot!" said the little guy, "Who do you think is more powerful?"

"Do you still need to guess, it must not be you."

"Why?" The little guy was curious.

"This toy gun can hold toy bullets the size of jelly beans at most. People use slingshots, and different types of stones can be used as bullets."

He really let him talk, since the two small soldiers changed their equipment, he has become more and more useless as the commander of the Red Army. The little guy was discouraged: "Dad, I am an advanced weapon, and advanced weapons can't beat him. your little slingshot?"

"There are exceptions. The older generation still uses millet and rifles to fight off the devil's planes and cannons." Gu Huaiyue said lightly, "So, one thing is the most important."

"What?"

"Head melon seeds."

Hearing this, Yan Zhen couldn't help but burst out laughing.Gu Huaiyue glanced at her, then bent down and patted the forehead of the little guy who was glaring at him: "So, in the future, fill your head with scientific knowledge, don't just think about it. Do you understand?"

The one who answered him was the back view of Commander Gu Jiaming heading towards the bathroom with high spirits, his self-esteem was thwarted, and he went to the bathroom to pee.The two adults were left alone, looking at each other and smiling.

When Yan Zhen sleeps, he is a bit obsessed with the bed. Every time he goes to a new place, he always needs two or three days to get used to it.In addition, this time, the three of them slept together, so she woke up several times in a daze after sleeping until the early hours of the morning.

This time, she stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while, then resigned herself to getting up from the bed.In the darkness, she stared silently at the father and son who were next to her for a while, then got off the bed in a cloaked coat, and walked outside.She has a habit of wanting to drink a glass of water for a while when she can't fall asleep.

Holding a cup full of hot water, Yan Zhen stood in front of the window, watching the snowy night outside.

In fact, it is not very dark. There are street lights in the community, and the dim light is much brighter after being refracted by snow particles.She stood there, thinking about what he said at dinner.He said that if she wanted, she could also go to Tibet together, the place where he was a recruit.

At that time, she was at a loss, but now she thinks about it, but she is a little moved.Not only because it is a mysterious paradise in the southwestern corner, but also because that is where he once stayed.

Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening behind him, Yan Zhen turned around and saw that it was Gu Huaiyue who pushed the door out: "Why are you up?"

"Drink water." Gu Huaiyue replied, his voice hoarse.In fact, he was woken up. It has to be said that he has occupational diseases after being a soldier for a long time, especially as a scout, he can detect any movement, and he has heard it when Yan Zhen just got up and went out.His eyes fell on the glass of water she was holding in her hand. There was no heat, and he poured another glass for her.

"Can't sleep?" His voice sounded better after drinking water.

Yan Zhen smiled embarrassedly: "Well, I accept the bed."

Gu Huaiyue smiled understandingly.

"The snow in Tibet is more beautiful than here, right?" Looking out the window, Yan Zhen said, his voice was very low, as if raving.

Gu Huaiyue recalled it for a while, and said: "The snow layer there is very thick, with an average snow accumulation of four meters, and the lowest temperature can reach minus 30 degrees Celsius."

"Is it that cold?" Yan Zhen felt a little unbelievable, "What should I wear on such a cold day?"

"You don't need to put on a thick coat." He smiled, his brows softened instantly, "If one coat is not enough, wear two coats."

Yan Zhen also smiled, it is a magical place after all.I heard that the higher the altitude, the closer you are to heaven. Looking around, is there a more suitable place?

"Yan Zhen."

"Ok?"

"I didn't ask for your opinion when I said it today." He paused, "About going to Tibet, if you don't want to, you don't have to. I won't force you."

Yan Zhen was silent for a few seconds: "Do you want me to go?"

This question made Gu Huaiyue a little surprised. He looked at her appearance through the glass window and said, "If you want." It was a promise he had made to the company he had been with and his A former comrade-in-arms, so Gu Huaiyue wanted her to go.
