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

Chapter 37 Nosebleed
How could she have such an idea?!
How could he have given her such an illusion? !

Gu Qingye rarely suffers from insomnia.

When the wake-up call sounded in the early morning, he opened his eyes quickly, showing no sign that he had only slept for two hours.

The flag-raising ceremony was still on time, and the energetic attitude was enough to prove that Lu Youyou's "kindness" was too effective, but when I thought about the reason for this kindness...

He gave in to give her time to adapt, but was mistakenly thought to be incompetent.

He turned on the tap and the cold water poured down his head, running down his neck and into his shoulder blades. However, the icy touch could not quench the restlessness in his heart.

Gu Qingye rarely hesitated. He stood in the yard, his gaze seeming to penetrate the glass and thick curtains.

So, should he explain, or go back on his word?

---------

In the camp, Gu Qingye first went to the office and locked the manuscript in the drawer.

Along the way, the young soldiers saluted and he saluted back. This scene appeared every day. However, today, everyone who met him felt like they were shivering with cold.

"Who has offended the King of Hell again?"

"How should I know? I'm warning you all, be careful. If you want to die, don't drag everyone down with you!"

Before they could come up with a conclusion, Gu Qingye had already changed into a full set of training equipment and arrived at the training ground.

"Everyone, carry a weight for five kilometers, timed. Start now."

Everyone was feeling sad, but they only dared to feel sad in their hearts. Didn’t they see that the battalion commander was running ahead?
Although Gu Qingye would participate in training on weekdays, he inexplicably felt like a volcano erupting today.

However, just when everyone was on edge, fearing that they would be singled out as an example if they didn't do well, they witnessed a real volcanic eruption with their own eyes.

"Gu Qingye, step out!"

Jiang Tong was on his way to a meeting at the division headquarters and happened to pass by the training ground. He was startled by a casual glance.

Gu Qingye was actually running in the front with a nosebleed, running very fast, as if nothing had happened!
Gu Qingye stopped when he heard the call, turned around and told others to continue, then quickly stepped out of the line.

Just like that, the image of the battalion commander bleeding profusely exploded into the eyes of the soldiers of the third battalion.

The orderly brought a towel as quickly as possible, and as soon as Gu Qingye stood still, Jiang Tong reached out and blocked his nose.

"What's wrong with you? You don't even know you have a nosebleed?"

Gu Qingye subconsciously wanted to hide, but was stunned when he heard this. He took off the towel and saw that there was blood.

He was about to salute in reply when Jiang Tong stopped him with his hand: "Alright, alright, stop the bleeding first. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital. Training is important, but health is equally important!"

"Yes!"

Gu Qingye wiped off the blood and raised his head, feeling the heat in his body that had not yet subsided. The image of Lu Youyou appeared in his mind again.

Holding the bowl with a beautiful smile, she said, "This soup nourishes the lungs, nourishes the kidneys, come on, drink it!"

Thinking of this, the nosebleed that had almost stopped showed signs of surging again.

"Hey, Lao Gu, what kind of style is this?"

Jiang Huaili and Ding Tiesheng walked towards here together. The second battalion was going out for training today, and the two of them were going to meet up with the main force from here.

Jiang Huaili saw the red plum spots on the towel when he got closer, and immediately asked, "What happened? Did you hurt your nose?"

"No." Gu Qingye felt that the bleeding had stopped, so he took off the towel.

Jiang Huaili took a closer look. His face was clear of bruises and redness, and he certainly didn't look injured. Ding Tiesheng's eyes flickered as he chuckled, "He's probably getting irritated. It's normal to be a little agitated in the hot weather. But Captain Gu just got married, so this shouldn't be the case. We should go to the hospital and check it out. If there are other problems, don't delay."

Gu Qingye's dark eyes glanced at Ding Tiesheng.

Jiang Huaili didn't respond. He was really concerned about Gu Qingye's health: "Be careful. If you feel unwell, go see a doctor. Don't take it lightly."

Gu Qingye hummed, "Just go ahead and do your thing. The second battalion has already marched over."

Jiang Huaili took a few steps and said, "Take care of your health!"

Gu Qingye nodded and waved to tell him to leave quickly.

In just one morning, the fact that Gu Qingye was training with a nosebleed and was smeared in the face by the team leader became quite big news, and many people came to greet him.

Especially the big brother Wang Youcai.

"Your wife knows how to make soup. Ask her to make you some mung bean soup, or soak dandelion in water. Just drink it for a few days."

Gu Qingye smiled bitterly to himself.

There are soups that can clear away heat. I just drank bitter melon, soybean and bone soup a few days ago, but Lu Youyou's cooking may have some miraculous effect. It doesn't seem to have the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, but it shines as a health-preserving and tonic.

If you only take in money and never give out every day, even a god can’t stop you.

Not long after Wang Youcai left, he came back and actually gave him a bag of dried dandelions.

Gu Qingye pondered for a moment, then stood up and made a cup.

During lunch break, he rebound the manuscript before taking it to the kitchen. Zhou Dazhuo, whose powerful arms could lift a large iron pot weighing dozens of kilograms, slapped Gu Qingye's shoulder.

"Comrade Xiaolu hasn't come over these days. I wanted to ask her but was afraid of disturbing her. I didn't expect her to come so quickly. That's great, that's great!" Zhou Dazhu was extremely happy.

Although he was only the squad leader of the kitchen squad, he had been in the army for decades and had more seniority than Wang Youcai. Calling him Comrade Xiaolu was really a sign of affection.

Gu Qingye felt a secret sense of pride in his heart, as if he had won a battle.

"She's been working on this for the past two weeks, but she still needs to discuss the operational aspects with you in person. She specifically told me not to forget to tell you this."

Zhou Dazhu smiled broadly: "You're being modest, aren't you? We should take the initiative to learn from Comrade Xiaolu."

Although Zhou Dazhu has a lot of experience, he has a strong desire to learn. Even though Lu Youyou is a military wife and is younger than his daughter, he can still humbly ask for advice. He really devotes his whole heart to his work.

Zhou Dazhu spent the whole afternoon immersed in the book. Before he finished reading it, the Logistics Department took the original copy away, saying that they would give him a rubbing in two days.

How could Zhou Dazhu agree to this? He immediately rushed to Zheng Lianggong's office. Zheng Lianggong had to persuade the old squad leader to leave after much persuasion.

Although Lu Youyou said that she was organizing her grandfather's words and deeds, she was able to write them down in a coherent manner. This is not just the work of a simple recorder or porter, it requires real skill.

The Logistics Department has no bad intentions. It's rare that a talented person emerges among the military wives. Shouldn't they verify it and then make the best use of it?

It is not enough to just write a "memoir".

When Gu Qingye returned home in the evening, the aunties in the staff quarters started teasing him when they saw him.

"Captain Gu is back. What delicious food has your wife cooked? It smells so good! Here, I'm eating with the aroma!"

The aunt held the bowl filled with vegetables and eggplants, took a breath of air and took a bite of rice.

Gu Qingye curled his lips, not knowing what to say.

He also smelled the fragrance coming from home. He originally couldn't recognize several Chinese medicinal herbs, but now he can distinguish the taste of Codonopsis pilosula.
