Chapter 308: It turns out there really are people who can turn bad luck into good fortune!
"Meiqin, I'm back."
Gu Tingchen knocked on the door with satisfaction, pretending he had just returned.
Soon, sounds of surprise rang out in the room. The three adults all had their own schemes, and their acting was very natural; it would be a pity if they weren't actors.
"I'm dirty; I'll go take a bath and change clothes first, then I'll hold Nannan later."
"Okay, you've worked hard; you've lost weight. Sister Wang, please go out and buy some meat dishes to help Tingchen nourish his body."
"Alright, leave it to me; I'll go buy the groceries right now."
Sister Wang was very sensible and went out with a vegetable basket. There really wasn't any meat in the employer's kitchen. Usually, the mistress didn't eat at home, she ate vegetarian, and Miss Nannan drank milk, so there really wasn't any meat stored.
During the half-month Gu Tingchen was detained and interrogated, let alone sleeping, even when he dozed off, someone would wake him up.
To be honest, although he had been eating vegetarian for a long time, he was exhausted all over and had no desire to "pay public grain" (have intimacy) at all.
And so, after tidying himself up, as soon as he sat on the sofa, his head tilted, and he fell asleep.
After Ye Mei Qin coaxed the child to sleep, she changed into sexy pajamas.
She had originally thought that when the man returned home, he would pester her like a hungry ghost. She had already done the psychological preparation, ready to fulfill her duties as a wife, so as to completely dispel the other party's guard.
Unexpectedly, this person was all show and no substance; he wasn't even twenty-six yet, and he was already useless!
In her beautiful eyes, a naked and undisguised disgust flashed.
The news of Gu Tingchen's return soon reached the Liu family.
Gu Yinyin was incredibly excited; her brother was back!
"Xiong Ying, brother is back. We should go visit now, oh no, let's go later."
She was too excited, but soon reacted.
Her brother and sister-in-law were so close; now that her brother had just returned home, they must be like newlyweds after a long separation.
It would be better if they didn't go now; let's go later!
"Oh, okay. Wherever you say we go, we go."
Liu Xiongying nodded foolishly, with a look of "I listen to my wife," and then smiled as he fanned his son, who was sleeping soundly.
Ever since her grandfather passed away, the restlessness and impulsiveness in Gu Yinyin disappeared overnight.
Replaced by maternal instinct, thoughtfulness, and maturity.
That little girl who used to cry and look for her grandfather whenever she encountered difficulties had grown up.
She was now a wife and a mother; she was no longer an ignorant little girl.
As for her brother, the only relative she had in this world, she couldn't be indifferent.
But she couldn't deny that the focus of her life was shifting.
She would consider the future of herself, her husband, and her children.
She wasn't smart, wasn't outstanding, and didn't have strong professional knowledge.
She was very ordinary, very mediocre.
Her husband's family's foundation ended with her husband; the marriage was to lift her brother up and pave the way for her and her husband's children.
She no longer had her grandfather; she couldn't lose her brother too...
Reasonably and emotionally, even if she didn't consider herself, she had to consider the future of her children.
She had to hold onto her brother's thigh tightly!
Over in the Capital, undercurrents were surging, and bigwigs from all sides gathered just to send the late Head of State off on his final journey.
In the border regions, news was relatively lagging.
When Lu Mingyuan received the news, he stood at attention and saluted toward the direction of the Capital.
Seeing this, the villagers couldn't help but ask him what had happened.
When they learned it was the passing of the Head of State, the elderly villagers wept bitterly and wailed loudly.
Speaking in the local dialect, Lu Mingyuan couldn't understand, but he could feel the grief of the elderly.
This news spread from ten to a hundred, and soon spread throughout the villages in the border regions.
The children didn't understand, but they had all heard the stories their grandparents told about decades ago.
If there were no Red Army, no Head of State, where would they have their stable lives today?
For a time, sadness shrouded all the people...
Outside the Great Hall of the People in the Capital, hundreds and thousands of people came to pay their respects every day.
It increased day by day; at the peak, tens of thousands of people were mourning outside the Great Hall...
News reporters were interviewing on the spot, and even when recording, they couldn't hide their grief.
People in front of the television were all very sorrowful, and countless Chinese people were closely following the Head of State's memorial service and the funeral specifications.
On the Sea Island, Section Commander Duan received a secret telegram and, with a grim face, arranged for people to invite Han Zhengqing and others to discuss the arrangements for maritime patrol.
Petty people just love to do small actions behind the scenes, jumping out from time to time to seek a sense of existence!
If it weren't for the fact that China has loved peace since ancient times, practicing courtesy before force, and insisting on not firing the first shot, then the provocations of these petty people would have been enough for them to die a thousand times over!
The mission was urgent, leaving no free time. The troops were urgently recruited, and those above hand-picked several officers to execute this patrol mission.
Surprisingly, Lu Xiu Bai was selected, and Jiang Ye was not on the list.
So in the evening, Jiang Ye returned alone and briefly informed his wife and sister-in-law about his brother's mission.
"My goodness, this is a real surprise. They didn't choose the brother-in-law, but chose my man?"
Pei Yan Ting was between laughter and tears. The shock in her heart was greater than the worry, because her man's constitution for turning bad luck into good fortune was there, so she digested it quickly.
"A mascot?"
Shen Man thought about it, and it seemed this possibility was greater.
Maritime patrol meant that the danger wasn't on land, but at sea.
Although her man didn't say the specific mission, she had a guess in her heart, only hoping that her brother would be smooth and his special constitution would play a role.
"That makes sense."
Although that was the case, Pei Yan Ting just wanted to laugh.
She still remembered when they were in the disaster area, when a rock slab crashed toward her, he protected her with one hand, and the rock slab grazed his scalp and crashed to the ground—it just grazed by a little bit...
There is a saying: hearing is false, seeing is believing.
Since that time, she had a profound understanding of her husband's special constitution.
It turns out there really are people who can turn bad luck into good fortune!
"Iya ya."
"Aba aba."
Lian Lian took advantage of the adults talking and quickly crawled to her younger brother, snatched his ball away, then sat down and hid the ball behind her back.
Her favorite toy was snatched away just like that. Xiao Mantou glared at his sister unhappily, babbling, trying to reason with her and have her return the ball to him.
But Lian Lian had a proud and spoiled personality, just like her father, and was just as annoying; she just wouldn't give it back, as if to say, "If you have the ability, come and snatch it back."
By the time the adults noticed something was wrong, the two siblings were already pulling and pushing each other, "fighting" into a ball.
Xiao Nuomi, on the other hand, didn't move at all; only her grape-like eyes turned and turned, and then she giggled.
Tangyuan took advantage of the two little ones fighting and not paying attention, and carried the ball to the little master.
One person and one cat, snuggling together, quite like little partners with revolutionary friendship... ===== CHAPTER 309 =====
