1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 103 How would Gu Qingye view him?
Although Lu Youyou recovered from seasickness, she did not enter the cabin but stayed on the deck until the ferry docked.

What I saw was shocking. Isn’t this pier too simple?
Dongzhou Island is not small, with residents and troops stationed there. The dock cannot have just one pier!

It is called a pier, but in fact it is just a platform made of wooden boards, which is tattered and looks much worse than the Dongshan City Wharf.

Before the boat even stopped, some impatient passengers had already jumped ashore. Lu Youyou and Gu Qingye still waited until the last before getting off.

As soon as she stepped onto the pier, her legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees. Not only did her legs go weak, she also felt like she was floating in the air, swaying uncontrollably.

Gu Qingye immediately supported the man and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lu Youyou nodded, and it took her five seconds to finally feel grounded. This was definitely the shakiest boat she had ever been on in her two lives, bar none!

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to lift her leg, the tip of her shoe got stuck in the gap between the wooden boards, causing her to stumble again.

Gu Qingye's reaction speed is always faster than hers, so he didn't fall this time.

Lower your head, blush, how embarrassing!
Gu Qingye suppressed his laughter and didn't let go: "No hurry, walk slowly."

Lu Youyou glared at him. This was an accident and she was not in a hurry at all!
After this wave of passengers left, there were only a few people left on the dock. In addition to the two of them, there was Wu Baozhu, whose face was still very sour, and Cao Xiangdong, whose face was as gloomy as water.

The four people met by chance and naturally went their separate ways, but they stopped at the same time after leaving the dock.

"Xiao Shen, why are you here?"

Cao Xiangdong saw his comrades and a military vehicle parked on the side of the road.

Shen Zhongyun saluted and said, "Report, Captain Cao, I'm here to pick them up."

Cao Xiangdong: "Who are you picking up?"

Wu Baozhu strode over, without even glancing at Shen Zhongyun, and walked straight to the car door: "Is there even any need to ask? It must be Dad who sent someone to pick me up."

Cao Xiangdong stopped Wu Baozhu and said, "We never sent anyone to pick you up before. That shouldn't be the case."

Wu Baozhu shook his hand off with all her might and sneered, “When you went home by yourself before, there was no need to pick you up. Please understand that my dad picked me up.”

Shen Zhongyun looked like he wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it. Cao Xiangdong knew that Wu Baozhu had made a mistake, and he felt even more embarrassed.

He said seriously, "Comrade Wu Baozhu, Xiao Shen is not here to pick us up. Don't disturb him from carrying out his mission."

Wu Baozhu thought that he was determined to go against her, and the powder keg that she had been enduring all the way exploded on the spot.

"What? Are you afraid of being called a gigolo? Fine, if you have the guts, just go back, you lunatic!"

She was so angry that she didn't even think about lowering her voice. Passersby who had not walked far turned back.

The whole day had been embarrassing enough, and Wu Baozhu didn't want to stand here and be watched by others. She pulled the car door but found that it wouldn't open.

She rolled her eyes impatiently: "Xiao Shen, open the door, why are you standing there?"

Shen Zhongyun didn't bother to look back at her. He stared straight across the street and confirmed that there was a man and a woman with a bird and a dog. He immediately ran over.

"Hello, is this Comrade Gu Qingye? I'm Shen Zhongyun, a communicator from the Niu Si Zhan Ge Team of a certain unit. I've been ordered to come and pick you up!"

There was a gleam in Shen Zhongyun's eyes, and Lu Youyou was no stranger to it. Many young soldiers had this look in their eyes when they saw Gu Qingye, as if they had seen their idol.

"Hello, I'm Gu Qingye, and this is my lover, Lu Youyou."

Shen Zhongyun excitedly shook hands with Gu Qingye and saluted Lu Youyou: "Hello sister-in-law, I am Shen Zhongyun, you can just call me Xiao Shen."

Across the street, Wu Baozhu was shocked for the second time today, and this time it was in the worst direction.

She had previously consoled herself by saying that Gu Qingye might be visiting relatives or doing some business, and that anything was fine, as long as he wasn't going to the Dongzhou Island unit. But reality hit her hard: not only was Gu Qingye going to the unit, he was also going to live there, and he was even the legendary new captain of the Niushi Zhange unit who had been parachuted in.

Cao Xiangdong stared blankly at the opposite side, uncontrollable shame and anger surging in his body. His chest felt stuffy and he couldn't breathe, as if someone was strangling his throat.

Who can tell him this is not true!

He was selected for the Niusi Zhange team, which was the opportunity he had always dreamed of. However, before the formal assembly, he and his future superior met under such circumstances.

How would Gu Qingye look at him? Would he think that he was a gigolo and had stolen the opportunity by relying on his father-in-law's influence?

Cao Xiangdong clenched his fists, trying hard to suppress the helplessness and anger in his heart.

Who should he blame, who can he blame?

He glanced at the bewildered and resentful Wu Baozhu. Should he blame her? She hadn't forced him to marry her at knifepoint.

Should I blame the teacher for forcing my daughter on him?
Cao Xiangdong forced himself to dispel these complicated emotions. He could not let it go and let his superiors enter special training with such a first impression.

Cao Xiangdong closed his eyes and made up his mind to run towards Gu Qingye.

"Report, Cao Xiangdong from the first battalion of the Niusi Zhan Ge team reports to you."

Gu Qingye turned his head, and his slightly lowered gaze suddenly became sharp and deep.

Cao Xiangdong was already nervous, and now his scalp was tingling.

He had also come into contact with other military kings, all of whom had made great military achievements, but none of them could give him such a strong sense of oppression.

Cao Xiangdong himself also went through countless hardships before becoming a company commander. Even if he had not been so outstanding, the division commander would not have chosen him as his son-in-law.

But these are far from enough in front of Gu Qingye.

A narrow road divides the world into two parts. Wu Baozhu is alone on the left, and everyone else is on the right.

Cao Xiangdong's initiative to approach her was tantamount to betrayal. This man once again embarrassed her alone.

Wu Baozhu couldn't stand it any longer. Even her son-in-law dared to bully her!

She kicked the luggage at her feet away and left without looking back.

There was a loud crash, as if something was broken.

The luggage lying alone on the side of the road was slowly soaked from the inside out, and the air was filled with the aroma of sour cowpeas.

Cao Xiangdong's pupils suddenly shrank and his eyes turned red in an instant.

That was specially prepared for him by his mother and it was his favorite food since he was a child.

Lu Youyou didn't expect that there would be a third episode in today's excitement, and she was stunned.

She even felt a little sympathy for Comrade Cao Xiangdong. How embarrassing it must be for his self-esteem and privacy to be repeatedly attacked by his wife in front of his superiors and subordinates.

Finally, it was Gu Qingye who broke the silence.

"If you have anything to say, we can discuss it at the camp tomorrow. If Comrade Cao Xiangdong wants to go to the family compound, please follow the car."

Cao Xiangdong stood at attention and saluted, his voice quite firm: "Thank you, sir. Comrade Shen is here to pick you up. I can go back by myself."

After saying that, he ran across the street, quickly gathered his three pieces of luggage, carefully packed up the jar of broken pickles, and turned away resolutely.
