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

Chapter 57 An unexpected and not so unexpected encounter

Recently, Gu Qingye has been going out early and coming back late because of the exercises. Sometimes Lu Youyou has fallen asleep and he is still here, and when she gets up, she is gone.

It was a rare sight to see Gu Qingye in the kitchen when she got home that day. She calculated that it had been almost a week since she had tasted his cooking.

The sweet and sour pork ribs in the pot are collecting juice. The color is dark red and the aroma is so fragrant that it makes you drool.

"I haven't seen you for a week and your cooking skills have improved. Are you secretly learning to cook by working overtime every day?" Lu Youyou smiled as if she was looking at a rare guest.

Gu Qingye did learn it and specifically asked Zhou Dazhu for advice on how to make it. He remembered that Lu Youyou said she liked this dish very much.

"I'm here to apologize to you. I haven't been at home much these days."

Ever since he got married, the word "Gu family" has been engraved in his heart. He had promised before that he would cook for the family, but he has broken his promise recently.

Lu Youyou looked at him for a long time, becoming more and more curious about how this man grew up. His good qualities kept popping up like popcorn.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Gu Qingye asked puzzledly.

"Nothing, I just think you are excellent, very good, very good."

Lu Youyou's praise was sincere.

She had seen a life of extravagance and decadence before, a life where all moral principles and values ​​were destroyed.

They are good-looking, rich, and have a halo around them. No matter what era, such people have to go through far more tests than ordinary people.

Don’t say that there were no conditions for indulgence in the 70s. The test of human nature is not limited to the times and environment. If you want to learn bad things, there is always a way.

But Gu Qingye doesn't even have the problem of being a male chauvinist. Lu Youyou never thinks it's wrong to be too busy to cook, but he apologizes sincerely.

It is said that one should examine oneself three times a day, but few people can really do it. However, Gu Qingye has developed this saying into a hobby. He always summarizes himself and corrects his mistakes, and does better if he is right.

Gu Qingye didn’t know whether he was good or bad, but Lu Youyou felt that being good was enough.

He pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Lu Youyou had expected this. Since it was an exercise, most of the camp would have to be walked. But when she saw Gu Qingye's guilty look, she suddenly couldn't help but tease him.

"Didn't you say you were going to apologize for not being home for a few days? Turns out you were just leaving to give me a heads-up!"

Gu Qingye's hand that was picking up the food suddenly stopped: "No, I'll leave the apology for next time, when I come back..."

Lu Youyou:!!!

He actually arranged an apology, and there's going to be a next time?!

Lu Youyou couldn't stop laughing: "I was just kidding, who would think about apologizing every day? Stop it, cough cough..."

Gu Qingye helped her calm down: "I'm not joking. I'll apologize to you when I come back."

Lu Youyou couldn't stop smiling, and her eyes became even rounder: "You are not serious, are you?"

Last time you gave me a bullet shell, what are you going to give me this time?
She had received all kinds of gifts, and it had been a long time since she felt curious about an unknown apology, but now she had an inexplicable expectation.

But the best gift is always Gu Qingye’s safe return, preferably without losing a single hair.

Lu Youyou sighed and said solemnly: "Take care of yourself and be safe. Nothing else matters!"

She comforted herself that exercises were always safer than going to the front line, but she was still worried after thinking about it, so she began to think about which medicines Gu Qingye could carry with him.

She didn't even have the appetite to eat, so she took out the medicine box and started looking for it.

Gu Qingye recalled the first time he received the medicine. Did Lu Youyou also rummage through the medicine box like this, then run towards him without a care in the world? "This is for hemostasis and anti-inflammation, this is for pain relief, do you need mosquito repellent? If you're going to be in the water or mud, should you bring some for eczema..."

It's too difficult to choose. If she could become smaller and hide in Gu Qingye's body, she could get whatever she needs. Then she wouldn't have to worry at all.

Gu Qingye just looked at the person muttering under the light, the smile on his face was like a glacier melting and could never be frozen again.

"I'm asking you, since you don't want all the bottles and jars anymore, I'm wrapping them in waterproof paper. Can they fit?"

"can."

Even if Lu Youyou packed a whole box, he couldn't say no.

In the end, Lu Youyou took the initiative to stop, carefully selected a few items, packed them into different categories with waterproof paper, and marked the purpose and quantity.

"Did you remember the acupuncture points I told you about to relieve fatigue? If you feel tired or in pain, just press them. If you can't do it yourself, ask the military doctor to do it for you. I don't have any rules that can't be passed on to others."

"Even if the mission is important, your life is equally important. If..."

She couldn't continue speaking.

She couldn't say anything that would make a soldier afraid of death, so she could only give repeated warnings, hoping that Gu Qingye would protect himself as much as possible while risking his life.

Gu Qingye listened quietly until Lu Youyou handed him the medicine. He did not take it, but wrapped her hands and the medicine in his palms.

"You, what are you doing..."

Actually, Lu Youyou still has a lot to say, such as how is the Wing Chun and Tai Chi training going, and how is the fighting skills progressing...

However, at this moment, she could only stare blankly at Gu Qingye, turning from a sparrow into a mute.

"I'll be careful and come back safely." He felt the warmth in his palms, and where his fingertips touched was her increasingly rapid heartbeat. He couldn't help but apply a little more pressure, "What about you?"

Lu Youyou seemed to be still in shock: "Me what?"

"You need to eat on time, don't overwork yourself, and don't stay up late. The kitchen team and the dog team should do what they can. Don't push yourself too hard."

Only after Gu Qingye opened his mouth did he realize that he had so much to say.

Lu Youyou looked at his mouth opening and closing, and thought that she seemed to be in the same state just now, and suddenly smiled.

The laughter interrupted Gu Qingye's thoughts and burned him so much that he let go of his hand.

The sudden release caught Lu Youyou off guard. Just as the medicine bag was about to fall to the ground, both of them stretched out their hands at the same time, and their hands touched each other unexpectedly yet not so unexpectedly.

This time it was Lu Youyou who got scalded. She wanted to pull her hand back but couldn't break free. The two of them went back and forth and ended up back in their original position.

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. Ask Xiao Huihui to look after the house. I've left some money in the kitchen. Just tell them what you want to eat."

Lu Youyou's face was already hot, and it got even hotter when she heard this: "I'm not the only one who wants special treatment, am I? I'll just eat whatever's available. If you act like this, people will think I'm some kind of glutton!"

Gu Qingye chuckled and said, "The cafeteria originally had a small kitchen, but married people don't have to go there, and unmarried people can't bear to go. Squad Leader Zhou said that his cooking skills have been wasted. He might be happier if you go and order the dishes."

Lu Youyou was skeptical: "Really?"

Gu Qingye nodded and smiled, "Official receptions are also held in the cafeteria. The stove eye isn't built just for you, don't worry."

Although Gu Qingye repeatedly assured her, Lu Youyou decided not to be a conspicuous person unless necessary.

It’s up to Team Leader Zhou to handle the special treatment herself. Sorry, she can’t provide any help in this regard.
