Almighty Military Wife

for a big fish weighing more than four catties.
She was glad that she cooked fish several times during the autumn harvest, otherwise, she would not be able to produce so many things now.
In the future, she still needs to do more work and collect more things.

Early the next morning, Gao Xiulan looked at the big fish and meat, happily embraced her big urn, and kissed it a few times.
She didn’t even eat breakfast, she went to the county seat with fish and meat on her back.
Such a good thing must make his sons and daughters-in-law blind.
It was a fast ride all the way.

After going around the county town, she was ready to go back.
As a result, she walked too fast and bumped into someone.

The old arms and legs hurt so much.
Then she saw a young man in military uniform looking at her basket.

The other party was taller than her, and just after bumping into him, he knocked off the cover on the basket, so the contents inside could be seen.
Even if it is covered with cotton cloth, you can see the fish … meat exposed from the corners.……

Gao Xiulan hurriedly covered the basket, “What are you doing, you’re still a People’s Liberation Army, why do you keep looking at it? I’m giving this to my son-in-law, how can you pay for it if it breaks?”

“I’m sorry, auntie.” The comrades of the People’s Liberation Army said solemnly, mechanically, but their eyes were a little straight.

Good fat fish, good fat meat……

For the son-in-law to eat, which son-in-law is so blessed.

Gao Xiulan didn’t have time to talk to him, so she snorted and left with a basket on her back.

The comrades of the People’s Liberation Army watched her go and then walked with luggage on their backs.

After passing through small streets, he finally arrived at their compound.

As soon as he was about to go in, he was stopped by someone.
Uncle Zhang, who was guarding the gate, had a cigarette in his mouth and said unhappily, “Comrade, what are you doing? You haven’t registered yet.”

“Uncle Zhang, it’s me, Chang’an.
Do I still have to register when I come back?” Gu Changan stretched his head over to show the other party.

Uncle Zhang’s eyes widened immediately, and the cigarette dangling from his mouth dropped.

“Chang’an, you’re Gu Chang’an, the youngest of the deputy county magistrate’s family? Why, why did you become like this? When you go out, the white flour looks like it’s kneaded, but when you come back, it’s like sorghum flour.”

Gu Chang’an: “… ”

Fortunately, no matter how much the skin is rubbed, the face still hasn’t changed much, but it’s a little thinner.
It looks more like a man.

Uncle Zhang finally confirmed that this is the famous lazy third child of the Gu family in the whole compound.

“Chang’an, go back quickly.
Your mother has been looking forward to your return for a long time.
She had peeked here several times today.
Your sister-in-law bought the meat back early in the morning.”

Upon hearing the meat, Gu Chang’an immediately swallowed and ran away with his luggage.

Seeing that Gu Changan, who was unable to carry his shoulders and hands at the beginning, can now run faster than a mouse with a luggage bag.
Uncle Zhang suddenly looked surprised, “The army is really a good place.”

The Gu family has long been looking forward to Gu Chang’an’s return.

Mother Gu was fidgeting in the house, and kept asking her eldest son, “Is the telegram correct? Did we miscalculate the date? Is he coming back today?”

“Mom, he’s coming back today.” Eldest brother Gu replied seriously.
Then he rubbed his forehead with a headache.
The old lady has asked this question a hundred and eighty times.

Mother Gu was about to ask again when she heard a knock on the door and rushed to open the door immediately.

As soon as she opened the door, she froze.

Who is this?

The other party stood at the door, showing a familiar expression, flattening his mouth, sniffing his nose, tears in the corners of his eyes, “Mom—”

“Chang’an, it’s my Chang’an who has returned.” Mother Gu finally confirmed that it was her precious baby who returned.
She immediately hug him, “Why did our Chang’an become like this? You looked like mother when you went out but now, you looked like your father when you came back.”

Deputy county magistrate Gu: “…” He put his hands behind his back and pretended to be a serious old father, “Okay, isn’t it just going to be a soldier? Why are you making such a big noise when you come back? Put your things down first, go wash your face and change your clothes, and eat later.

When it was time to eat, Gu Changan couldn’t care less about sensationalism, and immediately ran into the house with his things.

“Mom, I’m going to change my clothes first, and I’ll come out to talk to you later.”

“Go quickly, your sister-in-law made you your favorite braised pork.”

With a bang, Gu Changan slammed directly into the door of the room.

During the meal, Gu Changan ate good food with big mouthfuls, and the two brothers and sisters-in-law couldn’t bear to watch it.

When the third child was sent away, they all contributed…

Eldest Sister-in-law Gu said, “Chang’an, eat more.
Are you having a bad time in the army?”

Gu Chang’an nodded while eating, almost speechless with sadness, “I eat flatbread every day, but I can’t bite the hard ones, and it doesn’t taste good.
Li Xiaohui lied to me that I could eat white noodles if I can enter a company.
I was exhausted from training every day.
I finally won first place in the recruitment competition, and I was assigned to the best company.
As a result, I couldn’t eat white noodles at all, and it was even more bitter.
Huh… Our company commander said that as long as I finished training, I could come back to visit my relatives.
I trained every day without resting.
I finally beat down five veterans so I was released.
Woohoo……”

The Gu family: “…”

What, first place in the recruitment competition, and went to the best company? Still, beat the veteran?

Don’t brag.
