Gu Mengmeng waved her hands repeatedly: "Hey, Qiao Jun, just take your things back to the army. I don't lack anything here!"
"That's not okay. Every military wife has it. I don't dare to go against He Tuan's wishes."
Seeing that he was resolute and that he had come all the way, Gu Mengmeng could only take him to the parking lot and unload his things.
"Let's go and sit down in my office. I'll be off work soon." She thought about inviting Qiao Jun to dinner later.
"No, I have to rush back to the army."
"Why are you so anxious? He Tuan won't be angry if he goes back a little later. If he is angry, let him come to me!"
Qiao Jun looked around mysteriously, and then said in a low voice: "No way, sister-in-law, we have ------ that one tonight... you know!"
Gu Mengmeng didn't understand at first, but later when she saw him wiping his neck, she understood that he was referring to the mission.
"You won't be allowed to celebrate the New Year?" she asked in a nonchalant manner.
"Then Wolf Fang can come back? I won't go." After speaking, General Qiao's expression changed. He hummed and quickly lied: "Then...it's nothing...Okay, sister-in-law,
I really have to go, the car is still waiting outside."
Seeing that she couldn't hold him back, Gu Mengmeng let him go.
In the distance, Qiao Jun's green figure merged into a point in front and gradually disappeared.
Someone outside the wall dared to set off firecrackers in violation of the regulations. The crackling sound made people panic, and the feeling of loneliness and helplessness instantly filled Gu Mengmeng's heart.
It's New Year's Eve and it's a sunny day.
Gu Mengmeng got up early and went to the hospital to pick up Commander Kang and discharge him from the hospital. The commander's recovery was satisfactory because he was in a good mood. The doctor graciously said that he should go home for the New Year. So Gu Mengmeng knew about it when she went to the hospital the night before.
Commander Kang was extremely happy.
I packed my belongings early in the morning and waited peacefully in the ward for Gu Mengmeng to pick me up.
After completing the discharge procedures and listening to the attending expert's instructions, Gu Mengmeng helped Commander Kang out of the ward. In the corridor, Commander Kang met an old comrade who was hospitalized and stopped to chat for a few words.
Mengmeng helped the commander sort out the scattered luggage.
"Old Kang, is this your daughter?" The old comrade-in-arms had children, but none of them were with him. Even when he was hospitalized, he came alone. Seeing Commander Kang being taken care of by Gu Mengmeng, he couldn't help but feel envious.
.
"When did you hear that I had a daughter?...Tell you, Lao Sun, this is my little daughter-in-law!" Commander Kang couldn't hide his pride and couldn't help but start to raise his tail.
"Daughter-in-law! Hey, you are so lucky! My daughter-in-law will not even look at me until I am discharged from the hospital. Alas, when it comes to my sons, they are really not as good as your two boys..." Old comrade-in-arms
Feeling.
Commander Kang comforted him a few more words before leaving the hospital with Gu Mengmeng.
He was very happy along the way.
When he was approaching the military compound, he suddenly asked: "Where is Ah Wei? Have you contacted him?"
"He should be quite busy. I'll call him later to see if he can go home for the New Year."
Commander Kang put away his smile, looked at Gu Mengmeng's face that was deliberately pretending to be okay, and sighed slightly.
"Mengmeng, it's our Kang family who can't help you."
"Okay, Dad! I am also a child of a military family. I can understand the bitterness and grievances of military wives. You don't need to comfort me."
Commander Kang smiled approvingly, knocked on the door, and said, "It will be great when your mother can change her mind!"
Mother-in-law He Shanyun had been waiting outside the door for Commander Kang to be discharged from the hospital. When she saw Gu Mengmeng's car approaching, she pretended to have just come out and shouted loudly to Aunt Wu to come out and help.
"Aunt Wu!! Aunt Wu! Hurry, hurry... the commander is back."
Aunt Wu wiped her hands haphazardly and ran out of the kitchen at a trot.
The car happened to stop. Commander Kang didn't need anyone to help him. He looked at the yard with a cold face, but without looking at He Shanyun standing beside him, he entered the house with his hands behind his back.
"Aunt Wu, Mengmeng, stay and have the reunion dinner with us!" He shouted loudly from the door.
"Okay, Commander." Aunt Wu smiled, holding the luggage bag in one hand, holding Gu Mengmeng in the other and heading into the building.
Gu Mengmeng looked at He Shanyun's face that turned gloomy because Commander Kang ignored her, and smiled slightly.
She said: "Aunt Wu, you go first. I will move in the things issued by Conway's army."
Aunt Wu said yes, turned around and helped He Shanyun into the house.
Gu Mengmeng moved the things into the kitchen and put the red envelope given by Qiao Jun on the table in the living room together with the red envelope she had prepared for her elder brother.
Commander Kang looked at her in surprise, as did He Shanyun, staring at her with hostility like "what are you doing?"
"Dad, Mom. This is the Spring Festival condolence money sent by Conway's army. The other part is a little bit of gratitude from Conway and I. Although the money is not much, I hope my father and mother can accept it."
Gu Mengmeng's sincere eyes were focused on the old couple. She sincerely hoped that she could fulfill her filial piety for him when Kangwei was not at home.
Commander Kang pushed the money back and said, "Take it back, you two don't make much money to begin with, so save it and use it to live in the future."
"We have money, don't worry, dad! It's a new thing for the elderly to receive red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. It's just for celebration, so you two should just follow the trend!" After saying that, without waiting for He Shanyun to say anything, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
kitchen.
"Aunt Wu, are these your fried meatballs? They are as neat as pearls... Mmm... delicious, so delicious!"
"Glutty girl! She looks just like Ah Wei when she was little!" Aunt Wu scolded but lovingly put the newly fried meatballs on a plate, dipped them in salt and pepper and fed them to her.
"Hehe...hehe, it's delicious! Aunt Wu."
The commander and his wife looked at the two red envelopes in the living room without saying a word, and looked at each other at the same time.
"Hmph..." Commander Kang snorted and turned away, not intending to talk to the evil old woman.
He Shanyun pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Damn old man, you are really ready to ignore me."
"Hmph! I will definitely ignore those stupid people who don't distinguish between good and bad, and are selfish and selfish."
"I... Then why don't I admit your mistake to you?"
Commander Kang's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he coughed and turned around, still looking stiff.
"Why are you admitting your mistake to me? The person you should admit your mistake is inside..."
