Chapter 390

Gu Chenghuai turned over and pressed Lin Zhao down, lowered his head and kissed her, the force was very heavy, with a punishing meaning, and after a few seconds it became delicate, gentle, and lingering.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Deputy Director Gu was a bit wild this night.

He also felt the benefits of Lin Zhao practicing dance, so soft... the taste of eating it was too wonderful...

After coaxing the man at home, Lin Zhao confirmed to continue learning according to the curriculum.

Fortunately, there was no class the next day, otherwise she would have embarrassed herself in front of the two little teachers.

Learning until the Art Troupe officially performed.

On the day it ended, Xie Baiwei and Su Jingqiu even specially held a graduation ceremony for Lin Zhao. Not many people came, just the two girls in the Art Troupe who had the best relationship with them.

Regarding this—

Lin Zhao: So shameful.

With a blank face, she completed the ceremony, Lin Zhao hugged the graduation gifts sent by the girls and ran away without looking back.

Social death is social death, but the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

She will always be moved by other people's sincerity.

Gu Chenghuai came to pick up his wife, took the things in Lin Zhao's hands, and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Like being chased by a dog."

Lin Zhao:... You know how to use metaphors.

"Baiwei and Jingqiu held a graduation ceremony, so shameful." Her cheeks flushed, "I only learned for a month, didn't even get started, what kind of graduation, too embarrassed."

Gu Chenghuai's words were low and slow, comforting, "How can it not count, did you finish all the lessons in the curriculum without missing one?"

"Yes."

"They assessed you and said you did a great job?" Gu Chenghuai asked again.

"They said so, but..." Lin Zhao covered her face in shame. Baiwei and Jingqiu had too many tricks. Even though she didn't think her face was thin, she felt embarrassed, "They praised me like this when I first learned, what they said can't be taken seriously."

It would be fine if it were just the two of them, but there were others. Wasn't she playing with a big sword in front of Guan Gong.

"You finished lesson by lesson, it's reasonable to have a graduation ceremony, don't think too much." Gu Chenghuai's expression was calm.

"I think my wife deserves a graduation ceremony. If you ask me, the scale should be bigger. Who is as enterprising as my wife, dares to learn new skills, steps into new fields, just this point of yours dares to defeat 99.9% of people."

"You really think so?"

"Can it be fake if it's not true?" Gu Chenghuai said seriously, "Ordinary people don't have such courage, you dare, you are already very amazing."

Lin Zhao laughed out loud.

"I originally wanted to invite Baiwei and Jingqiu to eat at home, but they said they had to go on stage and didn't dare to eat and drink indiscriminately, so I can only wait until after the New Year. This year, we will spend it with the third brother and the others, okay?"

Gu Chenghuai: "Listen to you, I'll prepare."

He found the cafeteria's purchaser and gave the other party a list. The list was written with things his family needed to set up. The army's purchaser looked at the dense writing on it and showed a difficult expression.

"Deputy Director Gu, it might not be possible to buy everything."

"Try your best to buy, it's okay if you can't buy everything, sorry for the trouble." Gu Chenghuai saluted and then left.

The purchaser returned a salute, jumped into the driver's seat, and stepped on the accelerator.

Returned that night.

Put away the materials purchased by the cafeteria, called his comrades, one sack each, and carried them to the Gu family.

Lin Zhao and Gu Chenghuai hadn't slept yet, the couple was coaxing Yaobao to sleep.

At that time, it was said that the daughter should sleep by herself. Gu Chenghuai acted immediately, adding a room in the courtyard. The room was decorated very pinkly, the walls were painted, single bed, wardrobe, dressing table, shoe rack... all the furniture that should be there was there, the bed was equipped with a pink mosquito net, New Year pictures of dolls were pasted on the wall, and the little girl's hat and scarf were hung on the hooks...

A room full of love.

The house had just been ventilated. Today was the second day Yaobao slept alone. Lin Zhao sat by the bed coaxing her daughter to sleep. The child was very good and fell asleep halfway through the story.

"Really good."

Hearing this, Gu Chenghuai lowered his voice, "Like you."

Lin Zhao hit his arm lightly.

Her sleeping posture was not good.

Having a bad sleeping posture has the benefits of having a bad sleeping posture. When they first got married, her bad sleeping posture made her and Gu Chenghuai familiar with each other immediately.

Lin Zhao pulled Gu Chenghuai out of the house, squatted down before leaving the room and patted Seeing Da Huang's head, "Help watch, reward with meat bones tomorrow."

Seeing Da Huang gave a "woo woo" sound, rubbed its head against the owner's hand, and lay on the cotton pad by the bed.

The couple closed the door and walked out of the room.

Lin Zhao sighed, "It's really not a loss to raise Seeing Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po, they are too capable and saved a lot of things."

She fed the two dogs with enhanced dog food. According to the small text on the lottery turntable, the two dogs could live to at least 30 years old.

After all, it is still much less than humans. She and her family will treat the two well and let them have a happy dog life.

"My wife is kind-hearted, and should have this blessing." Gu Chenghuai said as a matter of course.

Before Lin Zhao could speak, the courtyard gate was knocked.

"It should be the cafeteria's purchaser."

Gu Chenghuai walked over to open the door.

"Deputy Director Gu, the purchasing car is back, this is the material your family wants."

Gu Chenghuai led the two comrades into the door, and Lin Zhao handed over two bowls of water at the right time.

"Thank you for your hard work, drink some hot water."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." The two young men scratched their heads embarrassedly, took the water and drank it. Tasting the sweetness, they looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

In an instant, their hearts felt like they were shining with warm sunshine.

They belonged to the logistics department and were just ordinary soldiers. To put it bluntly, their status was not high. They had done work for many military spouses in the family courtyard, and this was the first time they drank water with sugar.

"Why be polite, if we want to thank, we should thank you." Lin Zhao said.

There are no lazy people in the army. These young people are all very capable, and of course, they are also hard-working.

Thinking of the bitterness her man and third brother had eaten all the way, she couldn't help but want to be better to these cute people, even if it was just a candy or a piece of cake.

Lin Zhao turned and entered the kitchen, took out a jar of small pickles, and another cloth bag, stuffed it to Gu Chenghuai, and asked him to give it to the two little comrades.

Coincidentally, these two little comrades were the two who helped move furniture before. Lin Zhao wanted to give a thank-you gift before, but they didn't want it and ran away very fast.

The thank-you gift wasn't given out, and Lin Zhao had been feeling uneasy.

Handing it to Gu Chenghuai, the cold-faced god famous in the army, should not be a problem.

It really wasn't a problem.

Gu Chenghuai stuffed the things over with a cold face, "Your sister-in-law prepared it, accept it, it's all things made at home, add a dish for you for the New Year."

The two young men had already walked out of the Gu family's door before they reacted.

"What should we do?" One of the soldiers felt that the jar in his arms was so hot that his chest felt like it was burning with a big fire.

"Accept it, sister-in-law lives in the military region, there will always be times when we can help. When the time comes, we will do our best to help."

"Okay."

"Deputy Director Gu's sister-in-law is really good."

"Yes, I wonder if it's the pickles made by sister-in-law in the jar, I heard people say that the pickles made by sister-in-law are unique..."

"Go back and taste it?"

On New Year's Eve, the day of the Art Troupe's performance finally arrived.

After breakfast, the Gu family dressed up and set out in unison to the activity center hall that was closed all year round.

Even Qiao Hui, who didn't like to go out, went out.

She was wearing new cotton clothes, her hair was combed neatly, although she still didn't like to talk, at least she didn't have the previous shrinking, looking much more generous.

Qiao Hui followed the children, paying attention to their movements, for fear that Yu Bao and the others would bump into something.

Considering that they were going to a place with many people and some people were afraid of dogs, Seeing Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po were left at home.

The two dogs didn't care, they had fragrant meat bones to eat.

Slurp.

The group arrived at the activity center, and many people had already arrived.

Song Zhi saw Lin Zhao's figure and stood up to greet her.

"Zhaozhao, here, come here, you can see the clearest here."

Lin Zhao waved to her and asked Gu Chenghuai: "Can we go over?"

It was her first time here, she didn't know if the army had arranged seats.

"Yes." A flash of surprise appeared on Gu Chenghuai's handsome face.

Except for the big leaders at the top of the pyramid, everyone else is free.

"Where did you sit before?" Lin Zhao asked curiously.

Gu Chenghuai answered subconsciously, "At the very back, for the convenience of running away."

He never stayed long, just went through the motions. For Deputy Director Gu, watching the performance is not as good as writing a letter to his wife...

Lin Zhao didn't know what to feel.

"I will accompany you every year from now on."

Gu Chenghuai's eyes were extremely soft, "That would be great."

Living alone is very boring.

After everyone sat on the stools, the lights in the hall were all turned on.

On stage, the host in military uniform walked out with a microphone, speaking the opening remarks passionately.

The audience was quiet, even the sister-in-law who talked the most in the family courtyard was rarely calm, sitting upright and listening carefully.

The children were also infected by the atmosphere, with their hands on their knees, looking straight ahead.

Lin Zhao glanced and pursed her lips with a shallow smile.

The appearance of a row of little radishes being serious was too cute.

Looking at Gu Chenghuai again, he was wearing a military uniform, his eyes looking at the stage. Seen from the side, his eyelashes were curled, his nose bridge was high, the arc of his side face was superior, looking both dashing and handsome.

Gu Chenghuai really couldn't stand it, held his wife's hand, and pinched it lightly twice.

Don't look at him, look at the performance.

Lin Zhao cleared her throat, straightened up, and watched the performance seriously.

On stage, poetry recitation was going on. The performer was generous and passionate, and the emotions were moving, making people's blood boil, wishing they could kill a few devils to vent their anger.

The next performance was by Xie Baiwei and others.

As soon as the youthful and beautiful girls went on stage, bursts of intense applause sounded.

Their new hairstyles, different from the past, first drew a round of praise from everyone.

"How are the braids of those girls on stage braided? They look really good."

"It is good, worthy of being from the Art Troupe."

The single soldiers sat upright, their eyes shining, their faces full of smiles, and some were already thinking about confessing.

Song Zhi on the other side of Lin Zhao whispered: "There are too many single ones, they want to open their screens as soon as they see girls, understand."

Hearing this, Lin Zhao almost laughed out loud.

Song Zhi continued: "This is not even a social gathering. If you have a chance, go and see, it's quite interesting. In the army, you have to fight and grab to have a wife, otherwise, by the time other people's children can buy soy sauce, you are still a bachelor."

This is the conclusion she reached after following the army for these years.

Speaking of which, she was also fought for by her own man. If it weren't for that man, she would definitely be with her childhood sweetheart.

"When is it?" Lin Zhao asked with great interest.

"What a coincidence, it's tomorrow." Song Zhi said, "If you want to go, I'll take you tomorrow."

"Can married people go too?"

Song Zhi: "What's wrong with that? Married people lead a red silk ribbon at the door and wear it on their arms, and people will know."

"Amazing, very thoughtful." Lin Zhao praised, worthy of being the army.

After saying a few words, the two focused on watching the performance.

The performance entered the core stage. The actress received the suicide note of her fiancé in the play, stepped back a few steps, knelt on the ground holding a small piece of paper, and cried out...

The sound of blowing noses sounded one after another in the audience, and the soft-hearted comrades cried out, one crying until they hiccuped.

"Damn invaders!! My country, my compatriots, I hate!!"

"My grandpa also sacrificed on the battlefield. My grandma raised my uncle, my dad, and my uncle, and married them wives. She was overworked all year round and her body was damaged, so she left early. My uncle and my dad felt pain in their hearts whenever they thought of it, saying this was their lifelong regret.

My grandma was really good. She always said my grandpa was a hero, she had to raise a few children, and couldn't let my grandpa be uneasy below, but my grandma was also a girl my grandpa sincerely married home. If he saw my grandma suffer, he would also be anxious..."

"My dad's younger brother was only two years old and was thrown to death by those beasts. My grandpa rushed up to fight for his life and was pierced by the enemy's sharp knife. My grandma couldn't take it and died on the spot... A good family, only my dad was left. Later, my dad followed the main force to leave his hometown, climbed over snow mountains and passed through snow, and finally drove those beasts away. Influenced by my dad, I also joined the army."

After watching the performance, the bitterness in everyone's hearts surged, and they talked about the pain in their hearts one after another.

Lin Zhao felt sour in her eyes, and her chest was stuffy.

Everyone has wounds left by the war.

She also has them. Her grandmother's death seems to be related to those beasts. Her mother didn't tell her, she only knew a little from fragments.

Gu Chenghuai saw Zhaozhao's hands clenched into fists, tightly, pulled Lin Zhao's hand, and pinched it lightly to let her loosen her hands.

"Don't use too much force, be careful of hand pain."

Lin Zhao took a long breath, "Stuffy."

"Go out for a turn?" Gu Chenghuai suggested.

"No." Lin Zhao didn't want to be a conspicuous bag.

Fortunately, the following programs were not so stinging.

After the performance, everyone moved to the cafeteria to have a lively New Year's Eve dinner. A large group of people were noisy, not to mention how lively it was.

The cafeteria was pasted with red, and the atmosphere of the festival came to the face.

After the girls from the Art Troupe came, the big guys were even more excited.

The bold ones, under the booing of their comrades, walked to the girl they fancied and confessed with a flushed face.

It really succeeded.

The girl introduced herself generously, indicating that they could get in touch.

The applause of "Clap, clap, clap" sounded.

Lin Zhao looked at Xie Baiwei and Su Jingqiu who were at the same table as her, "Should I go further away? So as not to affect the two of you receiving confessions."

Xie Baiwei supported her face and looked at her colleagues who were laughing like flowers, sighed, "No need, even if you are not here, no one will confess to me."

Lin Zhao was puzzled, "Why is this? You are beautiful, your work is good, and your family background goes without saying, how could no one confess to you, you are not fooling me??"

"No! If you don't believe me, ask Jingqiu." Xie Baiwei puffed up her cheeks unconsciously, her face full of depression.

She thought her conditions were good, and she was polite, but no one confessed to her!

Su Jingqiu nodded to Lin Zhao, "Yes, indeed not, I also think it's strange."

She comforted her friend, "This matter can't be rushed, perhaps... perhaps fate hasn't arrived yet."

She said this uncomfortably, after all, it had been more than three times.

Lin Zhao blinked, "Are you from the capital?"

"Yes, do you have a suitable person?" Xie Baiwei's eyes lit up. She was twenty-one. Her family didn't urge her, but she also knew they were under great pressure, so she was quite anxious inside.

"There is a suitable one, but it seems he doesn't want to get married." Lin Zhao expressed regret.

"... Fine, fate has no share." Xie Baiwei ate the food disappointedly, watching another colleague being confessed to, not to mention how envious she was.

She had never been confessed to since she grew up, woo woo woo, it's all her brother's fault, he cut off all her peach blossoms when she was in school.
