Chapter 42: Parting (1)

Faced with the sudden arrival of the baby, it has been a long month for Chaoying to slowly adapt from the initial surprise, and what happened in this month is as long as a century for some people.

The next day, Gu Weidong spread the good news of Chaoying's pregnancy all over the barracks, but everyone who saw Gu Weidong that day knew that Gu was going to be a father.

So everyone is sending blessings to Gu Weidong, but Lu Baichuan poured cold water on Gu Weidong again.

"Since Chaoying is pregnant, do you still insist on this mission?"

Lu Baichuan's words made Gu Weidong fall into deep thought.

As early as a few days ago, when Gu Weidong had just returned to the team, his superiors issued a notice of participation in the arrest of border spies. The team was given three days to prepare. In three days, Gu Weidong and Lu Baichuan formulated dozens of combat plans, but the departure was imminent, and Chaoying's pregnancy caught Gu Weidong off guard, and at the same time made Gu Weidong doubt his decision.

As a warrior, Gu Weidong is eager to fight for the country, and he has absolute ability to back him up. This is also the reason why Gu Weidong was able to become the regiment commander by his own ability in just ten years as a soldier. In his ten years in the army, Gu Weidong has never flinched. But at this time, thinking that he was about to become a father, Gu Weidong was confused. It was not the existence of the child that affected Gu Weidong's judgment, but that Gu Weidong understood that he did not know that he had a responsibility to the country at this time, as well as a responsibility to the family, his parents, wife and children.

Lu Baichuan didn't say anything while Wei Dong didn't speak, pondered silently, and chose to leave the space to Gu Weidong. I quietly walked out.

Gu Weidong pondered for a long, long time. Thinking of the third year of enlistment, he and his comrades-in-arms went to the earthquake relief, and his comrade-in-arms Wei Dazhu carried bricks and rubble with his bare hands in order to rescue a mother and son in the ruins, and finally went deep into the ruins and rescued the mother and son, but the aftershocks that followed buried themselves under the ruins forever. I also remember that one winter was snowing, and the troops went to help the villagers rescue the livestock buried in the snow disaster, and finally his comrade-in-arms Wu Dongqiang was frozen off one hand. I still remember a forest fire, my unit went to support the fire brigade to fight the fire, and more than 30 comrades-in-arms died in the fire after the disaster.

Gu Weidong did not flinch from this life and death test, but there were many comrades-in-arms who failed to escape, they also had families, worries, and parents, wives and children looking forward to it day by day, but they all did not hesitate, not because they did not have a small ego, nor because they were selfless, but put on this military uniform and took on the responsibility of a country. It is their duty to give up their small family to protect everyone, and it is their oath to have a country first and then a family.

Gu Weidong couldn't help but be angry at his narrow-mindedness at this time, and he was also ashamed of himself for being entangled in this. After thinking about all this, Gu Weidong convened a meeting to formulate the final battle plan. Lu Baichuan saw Gu Weidong's expression as usual, thinking that the decision had been decided, so he didn't say anything more.

After the meeting ended, Gu Weidong asked everyone to go home and have a good rest, and also said goodbye to their families.

After returning home, seeing that Chaoying was still asleep, Gu Weidong tiptoed to steam the rice according to Chaoying's explanation yesterday, cut the potatoes and cabbage, put them in the pot and stir-fry, and added soup to stew. He boiled two more eggs in the pot, intending to supplement Chaoying's nutrition.

Chaoying was awakened by a burnt smell, and remembered that he had extinguished the stove before going to bed. How can there be a burnt smell, when I walked to the kitchen, I saw that there was already smoke in the pot, and I hurriedly lifted the pot, scooped out the food, and added a scoop of cold water to the pot, and the burnt smell was reduced a little.

At this time, Gu Weidong, who was chopping wood in the courtyard, saw that Chaoying had already gotten up, so he hurriedly put down the axe in his hand and walked into the house.

"How did you get up and sleep well?"

"Have you slept well, I was woken up by the smell of your food. ”

"Ah, you're all out, I'm doing it according to the method you taught me yesterday, isn't it good. Gu Weidong saw that Chaoying had already put the food on the table, and asked humbly.

Super hard and a little speechless, can't you see if it's good or not in my heart, don't you see that the dishes are black?

However, for the sake of Gu's face, Chaoying chose to be kind.

"Hurry up and eat, you're tired all day, aren't you?"

"I'm not tired, I feel very happy to be able to cook a meal for you two, how can I be tired. ”

"Then you eat first, and then I'll go to the kitchen and cut up the sauce beef that my mother brought before. ”

Seeing Chaoying leaving, Gu Weidong raised his chopsticks and quietly tasted the food and dishes he cooked.

Although the rice is dark in color, the taste is okay, but this stir-fry has to be said to be disappointing. Not only is it mushy, but it also has a bitter taste in addition to being salty.

Seeing Chaoying coming in with beef, Gu Weidong hurriedly moved the stir-fry to him.

"Come and eat," Gu Weidong served half a bowl of rice to Chaoying. and filled himself with a large bowl.

"I don't know what's going on, I'm very hungry today, so I want to eat some potatoes and cabbage. Gu Weidong opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"Ah, then I want to eat potatoes and cabbage too, let me try your cooking. Chaoying said with great cooperation. By the way, I took a big bite of food and put it in my mouth.

At this time, Gu Weidong showed an expectant and worried expression.

Hesitantly asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, I don't know if it's because of pregnancy, the taste is a little strange lately, and I don't like to eat a lot of things, but the dish you made today is with my appetite. "Chaoying is also a serious nonsense.

"Really?" Gu Weidong obviously didn't believe Chaoying's words, but when he saw Chaoying taking another big gulp, he had to wonder if there was something wrong with his sense of taste.

But looking at the pasty edge of the dish, I had to quickly eat it in my mouth, in case Chaoying, who had a strange taste, ate all these dishes that were not delicious and mushy.

In this way, the young couple was afraid of hurting their self-esteem and the other was afraid of hurting their stomachs, and finally ate all this dish into their stomachs, and the sauced beef that was brought back from Yucheng's hometown and full of color and flavor was ignored by the young couple.

After the meal, Gu Weidong was diligent again, and there was obvious progress, at least today he only lost a chopstick and broke a bowl.

After washing, the little couple lay down under the covers. Seeing the little blushing Chaoying, Gu Weidong has an indescribable love.

But thinking of the next topic, Gu Weidong hesitated.

was originally a vigorous and resolute character, but in the face of his little wife Chaoying, Gu Weidong found that he had changed.

But this question has to be told to Chaoying sooner or later, and he will leave early tomorrow morning, Gu Weidong doesn't want Chaoying to know his news from other people's mouths like last time. So in the end, I still chose to confess and say goodbye to Chaoying.
