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

Chapter 51 Don’t Give Me a Surprise

Eucommia decoction nourishes the liver and kidneys and strengthens the muscles and bones. People with excessive heart fire should not drink too much.

Lu Youyou paused while serving the soup and asked again, "Is it really ready?"

Gu Qingye nodded. Ever since he started getting up early to practice boxing, the feeling of his blood surging at any time had never appeared again.

Lu Youyou was still worried and only filled half a bowl of soup for him: "Take it step by step. Your body is precious. I dare not let you bleed again."

Gu Qingye wanted to say that he was fine, but in the end he took it obediently.

He didn't know when it started, but he didn't want to say no to Lu Youyou at all.

"Your grandfather's fighting skills are very practical and have much higher striking power than the current version."

Lu Youyou's smile brightened up instantly, not even bothering to eat: "Really? Have you asked someone to try it?"

Gu Qingye nodded: "I did a preliminary verification."

Lu Youyou said anxiously, "Then keep trying. Find a few more people to practice with. Maybe you can continue to improve it."

She knows her own strengths and weaknesses best. To put it nicely, she is just copying others. In terms of professionalism, she cannot compare to Gu Qingye by a finger.

Now she has provided a new idea, and if Gu Qingye continues to study it, he may be able to make further progress.

She never underestimates the wisdom of her predecessors, as many times they just lack a flash of inspiration.

With just a little inspiration from her, Gu Qingye can make great strides forward. This combination is simply perfect.

Lu Youyou's happiness was obvious. Gu Qingye asked with a smile, "So happy?"

"Of course I'm happy that you have more ways to save your life!" Lu Youyou couldn't help but fantasize, "It would be best if all of you could learn them so that you can be even more powerful in battle."

Although modern warfare rarely requires hand-to-hand combat, this was the 70s after all, and local conflicts were never absent. If an extreme situation arose, the stronger one's capabilities, the greater the chance of winning.

Gu Qingye paused while picking up the food, raised his head and asked, "Are you willing to make it public?"

He has been thinking about this these days. The new fighting technique is undoubtedly a powerful weapon for individual combat. It is not difficult to learn and is very suitable for promotion at the grassroots level.

But this is Lu Youyou's thing. No matter whether it is the instruction manual carefully studied by her grandfather or drawn by her herself without sleep or food, he has no right to decide for her or ask for her selfless dedication.

Unexpectedly, Lu Youyou brought it up on her own initiative before he even figured out how to tell her.

"Of course I do." Lu Youyou seemed to not understand his question. "Isn't this a good thing? Why wouldn't you want to?"

"This is your family's kung fu."

Not everyone is willing to make selfless contributions, and even military wives are not obligated to do so.

Lu Youyou quickly waved her hands, afraid that she would blush if she was a second late: "No, no, since it's useful, the more people who know it, the better."

This is not some secret family skill!
She was just repeating what others had said and had not grasped the essence of the subject. She had no choice but to be a teacher because she was afraid that if she didn't teach well, she would tarnish the reputation of military combat.

Even if Gu Qingye were to do it now, it would be different from what she taught. The disciple is better than the teacher, and the amateur teacher can retire now.

Seeing that Gu Qingye wanted to say something, Lu Youyou spoke first.

"I only have one request. Please keep it a secret for me," she pleaded. "You can just say you figured it out yourself, but don't mention my name."

Gu Qingye's eyes paused slightly. She didn't even want a name.

Seeing that Gu Qingye didn't say anything, Lu Youyou clasped her hands together pitifully: "Now Sister Li is still chasing me to work at the Women's Federation. I really don't want to be famous. Please!"

She has already become famous twice in the two months since she came here, and she really doesn't want to do it a third time.

"But this is your contribution. If the army adopts it, you will definitely be commended. Maybe it will be even more rewarding than the police did. You..."

"No, no, no, absolutely not!" Lu Youyou shook his head like a spring. "I don't want any praise or reward, I just want you to live a hundred years!"

The room was completely silent. Gu Qingye's throat moved, but he couldn't speak.

Lu Youyou also realized that this statement seemed too ambiguous and quickly changed the subject.

"Well, let's eat. Anyway, it's your decision, I don't mind."

At night, Gu Qingye leaned against the head of the bed, his mind full of Lu Youyou's appearance.

It was past midnight, but he still couldn't sleep.

From the time they first met until now, two months had passed before his eyes like a movie, and he realized that he clearly remembered everything Lu Youyou said and did.

She had done so much without realizing it, and he couldn't even guarantee that he would be at home. He was really not a competent husband.

Lu Youyou insisted on not wanting fame or fortune, but he couldn't feel at ease taking away her hard work. He would definitely fight for what he should fight for.

Lu Youyou spent a day organizing the fighting essentials and precautions into text, and handed it to Gu Qingye along with the stickman secret book.

"You can use it for reference. I only have one request: you must keep it a secret for me. Don't give me any surprises!"

Lu Youyou reminded him again and again that a nod from Gu Qingye was not enough, he had to hear his agreement with his own ears.

Gu Qingye smiled bitterly: "If you have a request, you can apply to the organization not to make it public, but your credit should not be taken by others, even by me."

Lu Youyou just wanted to keep a low profile: "Is it not possible even if I volunteered?"

Gu Qingye stared at her intently, then suddenly smiled: "We can't take even a single needle or thread from the masses, let alone falsely claim military merit."

Lu Youyou blurted out: "I'm not an ordinary person!"

Gu Qingye raised the corner of his lips: "Then what are you?"

Lu Youyou: ...

"Anyway, I don't want to be famous. You can handle the rest!"

After saying that, she hurried into the house.

Gu Qingye looked at her back and said solemnly: "I will protect you."

When closing the door, Lu Youyou looked back at him. Gu Qingye stood like a pine tree, responding to her gaze firmly.

------------

The people in the third battalion found that their battalion commander had been acting strangely recently.

After the class was dismissed every day, people were kept to work overtime, and Yang Yuanfang and Li Cheng became weak at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It’s not entirely true to say that they were listless. They were only physically listless, but their spirits were extremely high. Even if they cried every day when they returned to the dormitory, they would still bravely rush to the execution ground the next day.

Why is it called an execution ground? Someone accidentally saw the two of them being "beaten". Although it was just a glance, they could already empathize with the pain. Not everyone can withstand the attack power of the battalion commander.

Later, people from the first and second battalions also heard about it, but they just couldn't figure out what the third battalion was doing.

Ding Tiesheng, in particular, was already nervous about the military exercise selection and was afraid that the Third Battalion was secretly working hard.

Gu Qingye naturally would not let him down.

A week later, a document appeared in the regiment commander's office. It read "Outline for Improving Military Physical Training and Combat," and there was an appendix at the back that was as thick as the main text.

After Jiang Tong opened it, he was stunned.

What is this? !
