1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 316 A Macho Man Is Really Good! (Two Chapters Combined)
The Song family all went to the airport to see Lu Youyou off on the day she left.

Others were fine, just telling her to take care of herself and be safe. But Song Yunqing, with red eyes, hugged her arm and shed tears twice.

"Sister-in-law, you must miss me when you get back. Call me when you have time, or send me a letter if it's inconvenient, but it has to be a long one..."

With the current mail efficiency, it would probably take a month to send a letter from China to the United States, and you would only receive a few letters a year. So you have to write for much longer periods.

Lu Youyou's shoulder was half wet with her tears. She tried to suppress a laugh and said, "Why don't you come back with me? Didn't you say you wanted to eat Peking duck before? You even complained that the ones in Chinatown weren't authentic."

You know what, Song Yunqing was actually a little tempted.

She hadn't had enough fun in Beijing last time. With her cousin and his wife by her side, she wasn't worried about being alone. Besides, she understood Chinese, so she wasn't afraid to go out alone.

However, impulsiveness is impulsiveness after all. She finally remembered that the holiday was about to end and she really didn't have time to run around.

"Sigh, wait until my next holiday. I'll come to Beijing to see you then!"

Song Huanian looked at the two younger people with a smile. Even though Lu Youyou had been married for several years, she was still a little girl in his eyes.

He was naturally pleased to see his granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law get along so well. If he hadn't been sick recently, he might have been tempted to go back to China again.

"Youyou, take good care of yourself when you get back. Don't stay up all night just because you're young. Also, remind Qingye to be careful."

"Grandpa, I know."

Song Huanian added, "If you have time, go and take a look at our ancestral home in China. By the way, I've prepared a courtyard for you and Qingye in the capital. Someone will hand it over to you when you get back."

Lu Youyou never expected that the old man would prepare such a generous gift before he left.

The regulations for the sale of private real estate in China have just been introduced, but Song Jiagang has already invested a large sum of money in China, so this is something he can easily do with a simple gesture.

Because the old man had his eye on a house that wasn't just any ordinary house, and the formalities had only been completed recently, he knew that Gu Qingye was very busy and might not have even picked up the keys yet, so he still instructed Lu Youyou to be more careful.

What Lu Youyou didn't know was that the old man had prepared even more gifts than these.

He has revised his will, changing his personal property from two parts to three, with Song Jinshu's share to be inherited by Gu Qingye.

The old man held Lu Youyou's hand until they reached the security checkpoint before letting go.

"Good child, call your grandfather when you have time. I'll come to Beijing to see you once I've recovered."

Lu Youyou's hands filled the last stretch of the road. The old woman and the young man chatted back and forth, leaving Song Shaoqing no chance to speak. He could only follow behind as a bag carrier.

Finally, after Lu Youyou went through security, Song Shaoqing waved and shouted, "Sister-in-law, have a safe trip!"

"Everyone take care!"

It was the same flight that came from San Francisco, with a stopover in Shanghai before landing in Beijing. On the way there, there were dozens of people who took up almost half the cabin, but on the way back, there was only Lu Youyou.

She thought she wouldn't feel much sadness about parting or excitement about returning home, but when the early spring wind in Beijing, mixed with the familiar dryness and chill, hit her face, she had a vague feeling of warmth.

She went home, finally returning to this place that brought her peace of mind after two years.

An inexplicable excitement propelled her outside. When Gu Qingye came into view, she almost instinctively ran over and threw herself into his arms.

Gu Qingye wasn't wearing military uniform, so he didn't have many taboos. He picked up Lu Youyou and she was still quite a bit taller than him.

Lu Youyou cupped his face in her hands, looked down at him, and then pressed herself against him.

Such a passionate embrace was a rare sight in China in the 80s. Passersby couldn't help but stop and watch, but neither of them seemed to care.

He had met her once in the United States, but it did nothing to ease his longing; on the contrary, it made him miss her even more than if they hadn't met at all.

After returning to China, he was busy preparing the army and conducting exercises. The south was becoming increasingly unstable, but whenever he had free time, every inch of his heart was filled with Lu Youyou.

Now that his beloved is finally back, and right here in his arms, Gu Qingye feels that even five minutes isn't enough.

"Alright, if this keeps up, we'll be surrounded."

Lu Youyou's eyes were glistening with moisture, and her breathing was erratic. Even without looking up, she knew that more and more people were staring at her.

Gu Qingye calmed his racing heart and whispered in her ear, "Let's go home."

Both of them had a lot to say, but apart from the constant gazes from the two women and their hands clasped tightly together, they barely exchanged a few words the whole way.

However, once she stepped into the house, things spiraled out of control.

Luggage was scattered at the door and no one paid any attention to it. Lu Youyou was picked up by the waist and her breath was taken away once again.

Gu Qingye knew she was a clean person, so he carried her directly into the bathroom. When they came out, it was already an hour later.

Since entering the house, Lu Youyou has hardly walked a single step, from the bathroom to the bedroom, and hasn't come out since.

She slept very soundly that night, and when she opened her eyes again, she was still quite groggy.

The muscles beneath her palms were firm and elastic, and her slender fingertips gently traced the defined lines of her abdominal muscles, landing on her favorite spot.

"Why didn't you go to work?"

Her sticky, sweet voice made the person next to her hug her even tighter.

"Take a break today, you idiot."

Gu Qingye smiled, took her hand, and gently touched it to his lips. He knew she was still half asleep and probably didn't even know what day it was.

"Well……"

Lu Youyou snorted and found a more comfortable position in his arms. She had slept for more than ten hours, but she was still dizzy and didn't want to move much.

Gu Qingye was also reluctant to let her go. More than 700 days of longing could not be soothed in one night, but now that noon had passed, he was even more reluctant to let Lu Youyou go hungry.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll go make dinner. What would you like to eat?"

Lu Youyou tried to pull her wandering thoughts back a little. She hadn't skimped on food and drink while abroad, but when suddenly asked what she wanted to eat...

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, braised pork with bamboo shoots and salt, garlic vermicelli shrimp..."

As he listened to the long list of dishes, which sounded like a menu, Gu Qingye's smile grew wider and wider.

This was the last meal he cooked for Lu Youyou before she left. He never expected that she would still remember it two years later.

The act of reciting the names of the dishes suddenly stopped, and after a moment it turned into sobbing. The person who said they were going to cook was once again immersed in the act.

Lu Youyou had slept enough, but after making a scene, she quickly fell back into a deep sleep.

She finally got to eat what she wanted, but her arms were so weak she couldn't even hold the chopsticks properly.

Gu Qingye took it naturally and then lifted the person onto his lap.

Lu Youyou went with him and leaned comfortably against him.

Gu Qingye peeled a shrimp and fed it to her: "Mom and Dad said they'll come over for dinner tomorrow night."

Lu Youyou was about to ask why it was tomorrow, since her parents would always welcome her back as soon as she returned from a trip.

She quickly realized what was going on. With her current appearance and her hands so weak she couldn't even hold a bowl or chopsticks, she wouldn't be able to show her face until tomorrow!

Gu Qingye accepted Lu Youyou's reproachful gaze without question and was deeply grateful for his parents-in-law's thoughtfulness.

Gu Qingye gently pecked at the rosy buds that were so close to him, and then fed her another shrimp.

"We still have a whole day..."

Lu Youyou couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, saying, "What do you mean, 'all day'!"

It's almost evening now, does that mean you're prepared to work hard until this time tomorrow?
Gu Qingye always kept his word, and in the time that followed, Lu Youyou truly experienced what it meant to be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree.

When Lu Youyou went out the next evening, she had no choice but to change into a high-necked inner layer. Fortunately, the weather was not hot, otherwise the mark on her neck would not have been covered at all.

She changed her clothes, and her feet left the ground again, as if Gu Qingye was about to carry her into the car.

"What are you doing? I can walk."

Her voice sounded coquettish from the moment she opened her mouth. Lu Youyou didn't want it to be like that, but there was nothing she could do about it; that was how she sounded when she spoke.

"I want to be held." Gu Qingye kissed her again. "Or I can carry you on my back?"

For the past two days, whenever he was awake, he never left her side for more than a meter, holding her and cuddling her all the time, kissing her many times a minute.

The 188cm tall, tough guy with a chiseled face and eight-pack abs was acting coquettishly, or rather, he was just venting his longing, albeit a little too unrestrainedly.

The gate of the Lu family's house on Beichizi Street was open, and Lin Nanxing was standing at the door. When she saw the car arrive, she finally couldn't help but tear up.

Without video calls and with communication difficulties, she hadn't seen her daughter for two whole years. Even though she knew Lu Youyou could take care of herself, she couldn't help but worry.

Now that her daughter is standing in front of her, all safe and sound, Lin Nanxing's first thought is still the day he heard about Lu Youyou's misfortune in New York.

When Lu Youyou noticed her mother staring at her, she assumed the marks on her body weren't covered up and instinctively tried to pull down her collar.

Although Lin Nanxing wasn't old-fashioned and even gave her enough time to reunite after a short separation, she still wasn't thick-skinned enough to openly show off the spots on her neck.

Lin Nanxing pulled his daughter into the house and instinctively reached out to take her pulse, but Lu Youyou immediately pulled her arm back.

If the diagnosis reveals a weak, thready, slow pulse, weak pulse in both cun positions, accompanied by lower back and knee pain, dizziness, tinnitus, or something similar, commonly known as "excessive deficiency in the zonggu point," then that's truly...

Just thinking about it makes my head spin.

Lin Nanxing didn't necessarily want to check her pulse; it was just that his professional instincts kicked in, and he wanted to take her pulse after not seeing her for a long time.

Unable to compete with his wife for the seat, Lu Zhiyu could only ask nervously:

"Youyou, you don't look very energetic. Did you not get enough rest? Why don't you just sleep at home tonight and avoid another trip?"

If Gu Qingye hadn't been sitting on the other single sofa, there would definitely be a pair of hands pinching his waist right now.

What could Lu Youyou say? She could only force herself to respond to her father's concern.

"It's nothing, I just haven't adjusted to the time difference yet. I still need to organize some materials when I get back, and I'm going to Tsinghua University tomorrow."

Lin Nanxing was well-versed in the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, and could tell what was wrong with her daughter even without taking her pulse. She smiled and took over the conversation.

"I just made some Poria cocos calming soup. You should go back and rest early after you finish eating."

In front of his parents-in-law, Gu Qingye was a little more "restrained" than at home, but he still took care of peeling, deboning, picking out vegetables, and serving soup all by himself, so Lu Youyou only needed to eat the food herself.

Lin Nanxing's smile deepened. She wasn't worried about anything else, only about what might happen during their two years of being apart.

No matter whether her daughter gets married or divorced, she will still be her daughter, and her parents' love for her will not change. But if the relationship changes, she is worried that Lu Youyou will get hurt.

Fortunately, her daughter had good judgment. After observing him for two years, she concluded that Gu Qingye was a reliable person.

The family dinner was finished amidst Lu Zhiyu's concern and Lin Nanxing's teasing, and the two then packed a large amount of delicious food for Lu Youyou to take home.

As soon as Lu Youyou entered the door, she collapsed onto the sofa. Her stomach was too full, she felt dizzy, and her tingling hands and feet were becoming increasingly weak.

Gu Qingye squatted down to help her take off her shoes and coat, and then his hands seemingly unconsciously fell on her belt.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Youyou gently pressed him down, her voice soft and weak. She really didn't have much strength left, and she was even more lethargic when she got home.

"I've prepared the water for you. Take a bath and go to bed early."

Lu Youyou hummed in agreement, but remained lying there hugging the cushion, seemingly unwilling to move.

Gu Qingye bent down and kissed her, then whispered, "If you don't want to move, I'll help you wash."

Lu Youyou opened her eyes, struggled internally for a moment, and chose to make a quick decision between exercising early and going to bed early and exercising late and going to bed late.

She leaned against him softly: "Then carry me over."

When his beloved threw herself into his arms, Gu Qingye gladly accepted. However, a quick and decisive encounter was out of the question, but he could restrain himself and confine the battlefield to the bathroom...

When Lu Youyou finally got onto her pillow, she glanced at the clock on the bedside table in a daze. She had taken a two-hour shower. Sure enough, the idea of ​​a quick and easy affair didn't even exist in her dreams.

The 15-hour time difference was almost negligible thanks to Gu Qingye's tireless efforts. When Lu Youyou woke up again, apart from a slightly sore back, her mind had returned to the East Eighth Time Zone.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I smelled the aroma of fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, just like the smell of the shop at the alley entrance.

"You're awake? I bought your favorite savory tofu pudding, and I also picked out some tender fried dough sticks."

When Gu Qingye came out of the restaurant, he saw that Lu Youyou was only wearing a thin set of home clothes, so he went over and took her hand.

"It's cold in the morning, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Mmm..." Lu Youyou buried her head in his chest, leaning against him as she slowly woke up from her drowsiness.

Gu Qingye pulled his arms closer and kissed her hair: "Still want to sleep?"

"I'm not going to sleep, I'm just too lazy to move."

Gu Qingye suppressed a laugh as Lu Youyou's head-shaking motion tickled his neck, letting her whine and act coquettishly.

He never expected that being separated for two years would have such benefits; Lu Youyou seemed even more delicate and tender, and he absolutely adored her.

He was willing to be her hands and feet, as long as she liked it, she could be attached to him.

Lu Youyou finished dawdling and prepared to get up, but the feeling of weightlessness returned.

She instinctively wrapped one arm around Gu Qingye's neck, leaned on his shoulder, and looked up at him.

"You really enjoy using me as a human accessory?"

"Yes, I like it."

With her other free hand, Lu Youyou drew on his chest. After exercising for two days in a row, she could still carry him in a princess carry with one hand. A strong man is really attractive!
