Chapter 158: (Second update, first)
The next day, Gu Nian fell asleep and woke up naturally, opened his eyes, and felt relaxed all over, as if the exhaustion of traveling had all disappeared in this sleep. She habitually stretched out her hand to the side, and unexpectedly touched a warm body.
"Nian Nian, if you continue to touch like this, I'm afraid you will really lose it..." Chen Yue only felt that Gu Nian's hand was like a slippery fish, and he grabbed the opponent's Don't let her move in the palm of your hand, after all, men are usually extra impulsive in the morning.
Gu Nian pulled his hand back, folded his hands on the man's chest, and put his chin on the top, tilted his head, and said in a very cute tone: "Brother Chen, why can't you control it? I'm young, don't scare me. ......Well......"
Chen Yue kissed him regardless, pressed his lips against Gu Nian, and said viciously, "It's just so uncontrollable!"
Originally, Gu Nian only needed ten minutes from waking up to getting up. With Chen Yue by her side, the two of them made trouble unconsciously, and it took more than an hour to get up.
"...Stop making a fuss, I'm going to my mother-in-law's place today!" Seeing that he was still making trouble, Gu Nian pushed Chen Yue's head away, put on some clothes at will, and got up.
She shouldn't have hired him, the two of them stick together and don't know when they can go out.
Although she didn't completely relieve her hunger, she was still half full. As expected, Chen Yue didn't bother her any more. In three or two minutes, she not only put on her clothes, but even folded the quilt. Gu Nian, whose hair was half tied, turned his head to see it, and was instantly amazed.
Chen Yue smiled and looked at her with a tender look on his eyes, "I see that there are a lot of vegetables in the thermal insulation bucket you brought back yesterday, and they are all frozen in the refrigerator. There are still some vegetables at home, I will cook them for you. Braised pork noodles."
"Okay." Gu Nian replied, wanting to ask him why he came back so late yesterday, seeing Chen Yuerou's appearance in the mirror, but not wanting to spoil the atmosphere of this moment.
Today is New Year's Eve. Although the young couple has moved out, they still have to go back to celebrate the New Year with their elders. After the two of them have a full meal, they roughly clean the house, and then they lead the special products brought by Gu Nian and send them to the army. The New Year's goods, large and small bags went to Shen Shuwen's side.
The three bedrooms and one living room that Chen Yue bought earlier were neatly cleaned up, with red couplets and blessings pasted on the door, as well as various auspicious window grilles cut by Grandma Chen.
Gu Nian stepped into the door, laughing and boasting, "It's still possible for Mom and Grandma to make a decision. Wouldn't it be a lot more festive after cleaning up?"
Shen Shuwen took the things with both hands and smiled softly, "Grandma also prepared a copy for your little family, and I will post it when I go back tonight!"
Gu Nian glanced at Grandma Chen sideways, and said cheerfully, "Thank you grandma then."
Grandma Chen said, "There's no need for a family to thank you. If you and Xiaoyue are happy, grandma will be happy too."
Grandma Chen's words were half embarrassing. Gu Nian knew at a glance that she had been taught in advance, and she breathed a sigh of relief. It is considered to be down the stairs. In the future, Grandma Chen will no longer pick on her thorns, and Gu Nian will be happy to be a good grandson-in-law.
She then smiled and said, "Then I wish you a long life, grandma. If you remind me, we juniors don't know how many forks we have to take!"
Grandma Chen listened to the ironing post, and she thought that a scholar could speak.
Gu Nian coaxed Grandma Chen, and wrapped red envelopes for the two children, each with ten dollars, and was so happy that Chen Ling praised her "good sister-in-law" several times. eyes.
Gu Nian thought that it was okay, the Chen family was not too many, and if there were several generations, it would be a big project to come back to greet each other and prepare gifts.
New Year's Eve, make dumplings.
This is a rare delicacy for people of this era.
Grandma Chen went to line up early in the morning to buy two catties of pork extravagantly, which was chopped into minced meat at the moment. Shen Shuwen saw that the things that Gu Nian brought included the meat and sweet potato flour that Chen Yue had distributed, so she simply cooked them all in one meal and lived a prosperous year.
A large pot similar to a washbasin is filled with a pot of meat, with Chinese cabbage, vermicelli, onion, ginger, and garlic, etc. After mixing well, you don't need to approach it, and you can smell the aroma of meat from a distance.
Grandma Chen is naturally not used to such extravagance. She glanced at the two children, and then at Chen Yue and Gu Nian. She didn't say anything to disappoint her. , to ensure that the younger generation will not let go after eating and slapping.
The flour dumplings are turned into small doses, and then rolled into thin dumpling skins. The family gathers around to help fill the meat, and they turn into chubby dumplings.
Gu Nian, if you ask her to write a chemical formula for dumplings, or list the ratio of carbohydrates to water, she can give you formulas and calculations without blinking, but if you ask her to make dumplings, it is really difficult for her.
As the person who knew Gu Nian the most, Chen Yue cheated Gu Nian in front of everyone. He moved Gu Nian's dumpling wrapper and handed his wrapped dumplings to Gu Nian's hands, letting her put them on the sieve one by one. .
Grandma Chen was so focused on rolling out the dough that she didn't pay attention. As soon as she looked up, she saw that Gu Nian had wrapped a bunch of dumplings, and the shapes were strangely beautiful. Do you think you have wronged Gu Nian last time? Grandson's daughter-in-law doesn't know how to do housework, does she really have no time to do it?
The old lady cleared her throat and complimented, "Nian Nian's dumplings are fast and good, but it compares to yours."
Chen Ling and Chen Chao looked at each other, lowered her head and smiled, but no one exposed it.
Gu Nian's face remained calm, and the tips of his ears were quietly flushed red.
Shen Shuwen looked left and right, and let out a sigh of turbidity. She was looking forward to the unity and harmony of this family more than anyone else. Shen Shuwen liked Gu Nian in her heart, but she was also grateful for the friendship between Mrs. Chen and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Well, she doesn't have to follow the dilemma in the middle, otherwise she is afraid that if Mrs. Chen is stubborn, her son and daughter-in-law will not come back for the New Year.
The dumpling stuffing made by Shen Shuwen was very fragrant, Gu Nian took one bite after another, and only put down the bowls and chopsticks when her stomach was full.
Grandma Chen smiled when she saw it, "Nian Nian rarely eats so much. It shows that your mother-in-law didn't work in vain this morning."
Shen Shuwen was delighted and said quickly, "I'll take some more when I go home in the evening, put it in the refrigerator to freeze, and take it whenever you want, just like fresh. Next time after you finish eating, Mom will give you a bag."
Gu Nian rolled his eyes and said crisply, "Thank you, Mom!"
The atmosphere of the family was just right, but as the evening approached, an uninvited guest came—the police officer Xiao Wang, who had been following Chen Yue all the time. He came to the door with a serious face in military uniform, and saluted Chen Yue, "Reporting to the head, The troops have a mission."
The smile on Grandma Chen's face froze, and some didn't realize what was going on.
Chen Yue was the first to return to his senses. He got up and put on his hat and left. Before leaving, he told Gu Nian: "Don't go back alone at night, and let Chen Chao see you off. Don't wait for me at night, remember to lock the door."
He had a lot to say, but the military situation was urgent, and he was afraid that it would be a waste of time to delay, so he took a deep look at Gu Nian's quick turn.
"Brother Chen, you, you pay attention to safety!" Gu Nian hurriedly followed, but only had time to warn.
When Chen Yue led the people away, the smile on Grandma Chen's face disappeared at once: "Niannian, Xiaoyue went tonight, when will he come back? On the first day of the new year tomorrow, he... ..”
"Mom, don't ask, Nian Nian doesn't know. Isn't this a temporary notice from the military region? It must be a secret and cannot be easily leaked." Shen Shuwen quickly replied when she saw that her daughter-in-law was not looking well.
Grandma Chen was in despair. She always felt that Chen Yue left and took away the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. "You guys eat, I'll go to the house to rest."
Shen Shuwen got up and helped the old lady into the room.
Gu Nian looked at the direction where Chen Yue was leaving, his eyes were stunned. Although he had a vague feeling in his heart, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and thought that Chen Yue would come back for the New Year.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Chen Ling asked cautiously.
"I'm fine." Gu Nian muttered, his eyes full of worry. Because Chen Yue didn't say the return date just now, and he didn't know when the next time we would see you.
Facts have proved that Gu Nian's worry is correct. Chen Yue not only did not show up on the first day of the new year, but also didn't see him when he returned home on the second day of the new year. On the third day of the new year, Gu Nian directly heard from Mr. Qin that several regiments in the military camp were going to the front line for support. It's hard to tell if there is any Chen Yue.
On the fifth day of the first day, Gu Nian finally waited for Chen Yue to come back at home, but he didn't go home to rest, but to pack up and say goodbye to his family by the way.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and there is a lot of green **** under the man's chin. When she kissed her, she felt itchy and reluctant.
"Niannian, I'm going to the battlefield. I'm going to the front line of the country. We still have ten minutes to say goodbye." Chen Yue glanced at his watch and said solemnly.
Gu Nian leaned against his chest, listening to Chen Yue's steady heartbeat, and was silent for a while. When she married him, seeing the large and small wounds on his body, she understood that Chen Yue had not been relying on his reputation all the way to this day. As long as the country needed it, this man would definitely be at the forefront.
Although she had expected it for a long time, she was still extremely reluctant, but she couldn't say anything to stop her, and her eyes were already red when she opened her mouth.
"...I have no other requests, I just hope you are safe."
"I will, Nian Nian, wait for me to come back." Chen Yue gave her a deep kiss on the forehead, and then stared at Gu Nian, as if to engrave her current appearance in his mind.
