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

Chapter 30 Was she being teased?!

The State-Owned Hotel is one of the most lively places in Ancheng. Lu Youyou was in a good mood looking at the magnificent facade.

She hadn't eaten out since she came here, and as soon as she walked in, it felt like she was in an old movie.

The restaurant was bustling with people and almost full.

Lu Youyou looked around and found only two empty tables on the left.

She pointed to the window seat: "Shall we sit there?"

Gu Qingye hummed: "Please sit down first, I'll go order the food."

To be honest, Lu Youyou knew nothing about the process of eating out in the 70s. She imagined that the waiters would be indifferent, there would be no service, and people would have to rely on themselves.

What's the result?

The girl with big braids at the door was as enthusiastic as she could be, staring at Gu Qingye with a smile in her eyes.

Lu Youyou supported her chin with one hand and watched with interest.

As expected, handsome guys are handsome guys, no matter what era or fashion trends, they are just handsome.

The man with the big braid continued smiling until Gu Qingye sat down opposite Lu Youyou, then suddenly his smile collapsed, gone as if nothing had happened, and dispersed faster than a rabbit.

Lu Youyou drank some water under the burning gaze not far away, and her whole body shuddered. Oh my god, it's so hot!

Gu Qingye quickly took the cup from her hand: "Are you okay?"

Lu Youyou's tears were about to burst out, and she fanned herself while breathing in.

Gu Qingye had just poured the water from the thermos, and before he could say anything, Lu Youyou had already brought it to her mouth.

She looked at the cup pitifully. Who could she blame? She could only blame the hotel staff for being so considerate. They were worried that the guests would get burned, so they wrapped a piece of hay around the handle of the cup.

Gu Qingye wanted to laugh, so he stood up and took another one, pouring it back and forth several times before handing it to her.

"Drink slowly, I won't fight with you."

Lu Youyou: ...

At this moment, a figure approached, and with two bangs, two plates of food "bumped" onto the table.

"The vinegar-stir-fried cabbage, braised chicken, and braised fish with tofu will take another five minutes."

After saying this, Big Braid left, glaring at Lu Youyou as he left.

Where did this delicate young lady come from? She lets others wait for her water to cool down before drinking it!

Lu Youyou was not angry. She looked at Gu Qingye with a playful smile on her face.

"One smile can conquer a city, another can destroy a nation. It's us ordinary people who suffer the most!"

Gu Qingye raised his eyes and fixed them on Lu Youyou's face.

Overwhelming the country and the city?

I'm afraid I've got the wrong person.

Ever since she came in, countless eyes were looking over here, openly or covertly. If he hadn't been sitting here, Lu Youyou wouldn't have been able to finish the meal in peace.

"It is my duty to be loyal to the Party and serve the people. The people can rest assured."

He said this without changing his expression, and Lu Youyou's eyes widened.

It turns out that Gu Qingye can tell jokes?

No, this is not a joke!

Lu Youyou hit herself in the heart.

Five minutes later, the big braid appeared again, and with the same thud, the stewed fish with tofu also "hit" the table.

The braiding technique is quite good, and not a drop of soup was spilled even with such a big move.

He rolled his eyes again and left like the wind.

Lu Youyou blinked: "I was wrong, I'm not an ordinary person, I'm just a fish in the pond."

Gu Qingye chuckled: "I can also be Gu Yuan."

!!!

Was she being teased?! Or was this guy telling a bad joke?

Lu Youyou thought she was thick-skinned enough, but she didn't expect that the Great Wall was just across the street!

I have a body of steel and remain unmoved in the wind and rain. This is the psychological quality of a soldier. She is convinced!
Raise your chopsticks and lower your head.

The cabbage is delicious, the fish is delicious, the chicken is good, and the rice is fragrant. I concentrate on eating and never look up.

The beautiful face was buried in the bowl, and her eyes had nowhere else to look. Gu Qingye glanced around, and the people he met turned their heads away uncomfortably.

Lu Youyou was originally dizzy from the shock, but the authentic and delicious ingredients regained her attention.

Especially the fish stewed with tofu, although the color is dark, the fish meat is still fresh and sweet.

Seeing that Lu Youyou liked it, Gu Qingye said, "There is a stream in the back mountain. I will go and see it tomorrow."

"Are there any fish? Can we catch them?"

Gu Qingye nodded: "Okay, but it's not big and doesn't have much meat."

Fish have many small bones and consume a lot of oil, otherwise the kitchen staff would not just watch and do nothing.

Lu Youyou didn't care about this: "This kind of small river fish doesn't require a big mouthful of meat, as long as it tastes good."

"Um...you can also cook fish?"

She felt a little embarrassed that she didn't cook the dishes herself but still ordered them and even asked others to get the raw materials.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingye actually shook his head: "I've grilled it, but never stewed it. I'll go find the cooking class to learn tomorrow."

Lu Youyou even forgot to close his jaw, learning on the spot?
"I have a good learning ability, so I should be able to eat tomorrow." Gu Qingye was very calm and didn't think it was a big deal.

Is this a problem of learning ability? This is, this is...

Lu Youyou couldn't describe it, but ever since she met Gu Qingye, her imagination had been climbing stairs every day.

"Then make some more. Besides braising it, you can also make soup. Angelica and Astragalus Fish Soup is the most nourishing."

Lu Youyou chose to give up treatment. Since he is an all-rounder, he might as well make the best use of his abilities.

Gu Qingye nodded and didn't find it strange.

Everyone has their own strengths. It’s okay to only be able to make soup but not cook.

Lu Youyou ate quite quickly, but she didn't eat much. After she put down her chopsticks, Gu Qingye took up all the remaining food.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been in the army for so long that I have a sense of rhythm when eating.

Lu Youyou was fascinated by the sight, her eyes following his movements back and forth. When she moved to the far left, her eyes suddenly met those of a woman across the street.

A man in military uniform was standing next to the woman. The man was looking at Gu Qingye, and the woman was looking at her.

Lu Youyou pushed Gu Qingye and said, "Is that your comrade outside?"

Gu Qingye looked up and said, "It's the Second Battalion Commander Ding Tiesheng and his lover Yu Ting."

Yu Ting is from Ancheng and works in a department store in the city. She always felt that the family compound was too far away, so whenever Ding Tiesheng had a mission, she would go back to her parents' home.

Ding Tiesheng also had a day off today, so he went into the city to look for his wife early in the morning, which happened to be the wrong time for him to meet Gu Qingye, so he didn't know that he was going to treat him to a meal in the evening.

Although Gu Qingye had an average relationship with Ding Tiesheng, their regiment had a total of three battalions, and leaving one behind would be detrimental to unity. Moreover, he had a good relationship with the instructor of the second battalion, and it was impossible for the battalion commander to come without the instructor.

So the notification still needs to be made.

Gu Qingye and Lu Youyou were walking out when two people came over here.

This was the first time Ding Tiesheng and Yu Ting met Lu Youyou.

Before Yu Ting left, she only heard that Gu Qingye had filed a marriage report. She was very curious at the time, but she put the matter behind her after leaving the family compound.

She grew up in Ancheng, and her only rural relatives were her husband's family.

She has always looked down on country people. There are many military wives from rural areas in the family compound, but she has never even spoken a few words to them.

Before, she had mocked Gu Qingye for being ungrateful. Not only did he look down on the people in the art troupe and the health center, he also looked down on the leader's daughter and actually went back to his hometown to find an educated youth.

He doesn't even want the chance to make the leap, he's stupid and naive.

Now seeing Lu Youyou, Yu Ting felt like she had been cheated.
