Chapter 365: Even threatening people is cute

With half an hour left before the holiday, Lin Zhao started packing her things. In less than a minute, her bag was already taken out of the cabinet and packed.

Li Fen laughed, "Alright, if you can't stay, just go. Anyway, there's no one here. I'll watch the counter for you."

"No need, it's only a few minutes left, I'll endure it a bit more, anyway it's already counting down." Lin Zhao declined with a smile.

"Alright then, endure a bit more." Li Fen said.

Wang Ju covered her mouth, "Endure, the word used is quite fitting for Zhaozhao's state of mind."

Lin Zhao tickled her, "Aju understands me best."

Wang Ju couldn't take it and laughed out loud. Her nature was introverted, so she suppressed her voice, her body twisting, "Don't, don't..."

She had ticklish spots all over her body, and as soon as she was pinched, she couldn't stop laughing.

Listening to Aju's laughter, Lin Zhao was overjoyed. She let go and couldn't help but laugh out loud herself.

"Aju, you're really cute."

Whoosh.

Wang Ju's body stiffened, her face turned bright red, and she stammered: "You, you're cute."

Lin Zhao's star-like eyes curved into crescents. She reached out and tugged at Aju's braid, "Have time during the New Year to come to my house, I'll treat you to hot pot."

She occasionally brought meals, and Wang Ju had tasted her cooking. Knowing her good friend cooked well, hearing she was going to treat her to hot pot, her eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll definitely come."

"Just ask anyone in the brigade, and you'll know which house is mine." Lin Zhao smiled.

"Un!" Wang Ju agreed, calculating in her heart what to bring.

"Is there anything you particularly want to eat? I'll try my best to fulfill it." Lin Zhao asked in a good mood.

"Want to eat the candied sweet potato made by Zhaozhao, is that okay?" Wang Ju's expression was expectant.

"Arranged."

"Zhaozhao is really good~"

Suddenly, Wang Ju stared fixedly at the young man who lifted the curtain and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

This person was very tall, taller than she had ever seen. He was wearing a military uniform, had a neat crew cut, sharp and cold eyebrows, and an outstanding appearance.

A bit familiar.

The person at the door paced closer, his eyes always falling on the most beautiful and bright girl in the world. His gaze was like melting ice and snow, tinged with a faint smile.

"Ahem..." He coughed lightly.

Wang Ju touched Lin Zhao's shoulder lightly and reminded her in a low voice: "Zhaozhao, your Comrade Gu..."

Lin Zhao folded her hands on the counter, her face pressed against her arms, not wanting to move for a while. Hearing Aju's words, she raised her head abruptly.

After seeing Gu Chenghuai, she stood up suddenly.

"Gu Chenghuai?" She rubbed her eyes.

That person was still there.

Lin Zhao bypassed the counter, walked quickly to the man, and watched him with moist eyes, "When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived." Gu Chenghuai's low, pleasant voice sounded.

The two stood together, one handsome and masculine, the other a bright peony. They looked like a perfect match no matter how you looked at them.

Wang Ju bit the back of her hand, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop curling up.

Full, full.

Just at this moment, the familiar bell for getting off work rang.

"Holiday, holiday, holiday!" Lin Zhao said happily three times. She turned around, her lower abdomen against the counter, bent over, and took her bag from the stool.

"Aju, happy holidays, I'm leaving first." She waved at Wang Ju.

She smiled at Li Fen again, "Sister Fen, happy holidays."

"Happy holidays to everyone, see you after the New Year."

"See you after the New Year." The several salespeople of the supply and marketing cooperative replied, their gazes wandering between Lin Zhao and Gu Chenghuai, with kind smiles on their faces.

Gu Chenghuai nodded to his wife's colleagues and left with Zhaozhao.

"Was that Comrade Lin's man just now?" Comrade Qi couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you already know? Asking when you know." Li Fen packed her things and said unhappily.

"I'm just confirming, that person looks cold, without any human warmth, scary. Comrade Lin is really bold." Comrade Qi sighed, "This is different from what I thought. I thought... I thought Comrade Lin would like the white-faced scholar type. She is so exquisite, fragrant and soft, how would a hard man know her goodness."

Li Fen: "..."

"You worry too much." A touch of depression appeared on her face, "How do you know he's cold at his own home, in front of his own wife?"

"Also true, with that little face of our Zhaozhao, her man must love her to death." Not knowing what she thought of, Comrade Qi laughed lewdly, "Hehehehehehe..."

Wang Ju: "..."

Li Fen: "..."

Lin Zhao unlocked the bicycle.

Gu Chenghuai took the bike, hung the luggage bag on the handlebars, and said to Lin Zhao: "Wife, get on, let's go home."

Lin Zhao hugged the man's lean waist and jumped onto the back seat.

"Let's go!"

Winter clothes were thick. Gu Chenghuai was wearing the black sweater his wife had sent him, with a military jacket on the outside. However, the moment Zhaozhao's hand touched his waist, he still felt a numbness spread through his whole body.

His hand grasped Lin Zhao's hand faster than his reason. The touch was soft and smooth. The man was slightly stunned and rolled his throat twice.

"Gu Chenghuai, you're taking advantage of me." A coquettish voice came from behind.

A flash of helplessness crossed Gu Chenghuai's eyes, and he laughed out loud, "You're my wife, touching hands isn't against the law."

"Sophistry." Lin Zhao snorted.

"How is it sophistry?" Gu Chenghuai exerted force with his right leg, and the bicycle shot out, feeling a bit out of control. He subconsciously squeezed the brake.

A pleasant laugh came from behind.

"Shocked, right?"

Gu Chenghuai turned his head, "What's the situation?"

This is a bicycle?!

"Uncle helped me modify it, installed a derailleur, fast, right?" Lin Zhao looked proud.

"Fast." Gu Chenghuai replied.

He turned around, exerted force with his right leg again, and the bicycle slid out from the spot.

"Quite good, you won't be tired going to and from work."

Lin Zhao shook her feet, looked left and right, there was no one, she stretched out her arms and hugged her man's waist.

"Gu Chenghuai, I missed you."

Gu Chenghuai's firm and cold heart turned into soft fingers, his eyes softened, full of tenderness and lingering affection.

"Me too."

Lin Zhao was dissatisfied, "What is?"

Wanted to hear it.

Gu Chenghuai's eyebrows relaxed, his eyes overflowing with tenderness, "I missed you too, missed you in my dreams."

Now Lin Zhao was satisfied.

Slender, delicate fingers poked the man's solid back.

"Having a mouth is for conveying feelings. We've been separated for a long time, if you keep everything bottled up, sooner or later..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Chenghuai, who guessed what she was going to say. His voice was cold and deep, "There is no sooner or later, we will be fine!"

"... You're fierce to me." Lin Zhao wanted to pull her hand back.

Her hand was held down.

The man's calloused fingertips rubbed Lin Zhao's fingers.

"Not fierce, just don't want to hear unlucky words." He emphasized.

"Who told you to be a mute." Lin Zhao pinched the man's fingers back.

"Not a mute, have words to say when we get back. If you get wind, you'll cough again." Gu Chenghuai's voice was very light.

Lin Zhao would cough when she got cold, once or twice every year. She didn't think much of it, but Gu Chenghuai cared very much.

"You're blocking the wind for me, and I'm wearing a scarf, the wind can't get in."

He was wearing the scarf his wife had sent over, how could Zhaozhao not say a word, as if she hadn't seen it.

Thinking of this, Gu Chenghuai frowned, feeling a bit stifled.

"Gu Chenghuai, you look very handsome wearing the scarf, especially strikingly handsome. Warm, right? I knitted a lot, Qingzhou and Yunjin have them too." Lin Zhao suddenly spoke.

Gu Chenghuai's tense expression instantly relaxed, like a stream in the season of melting snow, and his whole person softened a lot.

"Very warm." He said in a tone of feigned calmness and showing off, "People in the army all envy me for having a wife who is skillful and has me in her heart."

"Of course I have you in my heart, your weight is very heavy, as heavy as the four cubs." Lin Zhao said sweetly.

With one sentence, Deputy Regiment Commander Gu, whose mind was full of his wife, was coaxed into a pout.

"You are also important in my heart." Afraid of being called a mute by his wife again, this time he used his mouth.

"That's a must." Lin Zhao felt it was only natural, "I am your dear wife, bearing children for you, taking care of the family. If you don't take me as the most important, I won't like you anymore."

She had been pampered by her family since she was a child, she was never someone who understood others, she was always loyal to her own feelings.

"You are the most important." Gu Chenghuai said word by word.

The arm around her waist exerted a little force, his thin lips lifted slightly.

His wife is really cute.

Even threatening people is cute!

Gu Chenghuai held the handlebars with one hand and Lin Zhao's hand with the other. The couple headed toward the direction of the Harvest Brigade against the cold wind.

When they arrived at the brigade, the villagers saw the capable person who had gone out of the village, and it was another lively scene.

"Chenghuai is back!! ~"

"Heard Chenghuai has become a regiment commander, really capable!"

"It's been a few years since Chenghuai came back for the New Year, this year is good, can have a reunion New Year!"

Gu Chenghuai chatted with the people in his hometown humbly, his posture neither humble nor arrogant, making people feel very comfortable.

He was surrounded in the middle, holding Lin Zhao's hand with his left hand without letting go. Afraid that his wife would be squeezed, he even pulled her to his side.

Everyone was only busy chatting with Gu Chenghuai and didn't notice this scene.

The Gu family heard the news of Gu Chenghuai's return and ran over in a hurry.

Gu Mu ran at the very front.

"Chenghuai, Mother's Chenghuai is back!"

Before she even walked in, her voice rang out.

Seeing her son surrounded by people, Gu Mu started to stiffen her face and shoo people away again.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, what can't be said another day? My family's Third Son has been on the train for several days to come back, let him go home and wash up first, you really don't have any sense of propriety..."

The old lady who protected her calf had a surprisingly loud voice, spraying this one and then that one.

When facing her son, her attitude was as loving as could be.

"Chenghuai, you go back first, wash up and sleep, we can talk after you've replenished your energy."

A warm current surged in Gu Chenghuai's heart, "Good, Mother."

Gu Mu looked at Lin Zhao again, the smile on her face was huge, "Zhaozhao, you're tired after a day of work too, go back and rest with Chenghuai."

"Un." Lin Zhao gave her mother-in-law a smile, her black eyes full of gratitude.

"Go quickly." Gu Mu's mouth lifted.

The couple left the spot.

Just arrived at the door of the house.

"Comrade Lin."

Lin Zhao turned her head, it was several educated youths.

"What's the matter?" Her expression was confused, she didn't know what these educated youths were looking for her for.

Wen Huaiyuan looked at Gu Chenghuai, struggled, stepped forward, and opened his mouth awkwardly, "We have something to ask you."

Without waiting for Lin Zhao to ask again, he scratched his head and said bluntly: "We want to ask, can your washing machine be borrowed? The kind where we pay money."

Lin Zhao was slightly stunned.

This matter.

She shook her head and gave an apologetic smile, "Private property, not for loan."

"Is that so, then forget it, sorry to bother you." Wen Huaiyuan said politely and left with the other educated youths.

Gu Chenghuai raised an eyebrow, "Washing machine?"

"Uncle got it!" Lin Zhao's moist eyes were bright. She pulled down her black scarf, revealing her white-and-red face, "Qingzhou knows the ins and outs, if you want to know, let him tell you."

Gu Chenghuai nodded and pushed the bicycle into the house.

Entering the courtyard, his floating heart seemed to find a place to return to, and both his body and mind relaxed.

He put down his luggage and went to the kitchen to drink a few mouthfuls of water.

Lin Zhao took off her scarf, took off her light gray wool coat, put it back in the room, and went to the kitchen to light the fire.

"I'll boil some water for you first, you go take a bath. By the time you finish washing, the meal should be ready."

Gu Chenghuai half-squatted beside Lin Zhao and took over her work, "I'll do it."

Lin Zhao propped her chin and stared at him, "You're cooking too?"

"Un." Gu Chenghuai replied with a stern face, "I said, when I'm home, you don't need to do anything."

Lin Zhao leaned over, kissed the corner of his mouth, and her voice was sweet, "Gu Chenghuai, you're really good."

A kiss wasn't enough. She stretched out her arms to hug his neck and rubbed her moist face against Gu Chenghuai's warm neck skin, "It's really good that you're home."

"When you're not home, I cut my hand while lighting the fire and no one felt sorry for me, so miserable." She held up her hand, which had long since healed, and acted like a spoiled child.

Gu Chenghuai was particularly susceptible to this. He was already obedient to Lin Zhao in every way. If his wife acted like a spoiled child, he could become a muddled monarch.

"Cut your hand? How did you cut it?!" He held Lin Zhao's hand and checked it carefully. Even though he didn't find a wound, he still felt heartache.

"If there's heavy work, call Big Brother, Second Brother, and Qingzhou. If they have things to do, calling Bangbang is also fine. He's already ten years old, he should be very useful."

Lin Zhao: "..."

"That's your nephew, your own."

Gu Chenghuai retorted lightly, "You are his own Third Aunt."

He said in a matter-of-fact tone: "My wife is so good to them, thinking of them in everything, it's only right for them to listen to your instructions."

After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Lin Zhao's fingertips.

Then he held her hand in his palm and tightened it.

"Wife, follow me to the army after the New Year, I don't want to be separated from you anymore." Gu Chenghuai's voice was slightly deep.

Lin Zhao hugged him, "Good, I'll go with you."

Gu Chenghuai's gaze was gentle.

I don't know how long it had been, when the man's low, suppressed voice sounded, "Zhaozhao, hug later, my legs are numb..."

Lin Zhao hurriedly let go and covered her mouth to laugh.

Gu Chenghuai looked at her helplessly and indulgently. He stood up, and the tingling sensation spread through his whole leg, very sour and refreshing.

"Where are the children?" He asked.

"At the old house, probably." Lin Zhao said casually, "They probably haven't heard the news of your return yet. If they heard, they would definitely run home immediately."

Just as she was speaking, a bustling sound rang out.

"Dad!" Heng Bao shouted loudly.

Yu Bao followed: "Mom, Grandma said Dad is back, where is he?!"

The two of them couldn't run fast holding their younger brother and sister, so they came back later than usual.

Lin Zhao pushed Gu Chenghuai's shoulder and urged: "I'll watch the fire, your sons are calling you, go hug them quickly."

Worried that Gu Chenghuai would put on airs again, she added, "The children all missed you."

Gu Chenghuai's stern face softened, and he walked toward the courtyard.

"I'm here." ===== CHAPTER 366 =====
