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

Chapter 347 You've held a child before?

Gu Qingye looked at her tenderly, and couldn't help but smile as he looked at her. Then he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"You can still kiss me even though I'm all sweaty," Lu Youyou said reproachfully.

Gu Qingye didn't care at all and kissed him again, this time for even longer.

He tenderly stroked Lu Youyou's lips: "How do you feel? Does it hurt a lot?"

Lu Youyou nodded first, then shook her head. She was indeed a little uncomfortable, but it wasn't painful.

"Do you want some water? The doctor said you can drink some warm water now."

Lu Youyou hummed in agreement and took the enamel cup he handed her; the temperature was just right.

Gu Qingye steadily supported her back, and Lu Youyou didn't need to exert any effort at all. After she finished drinking, she was gently "put back" on the bed.

"I don't think I'm that weak, do I?" Lu Youyou said with a playful laugh.

Gu Qingye didn't speak, clearly disagreeing. He would never forget the image of Lu Youyou unconscious when she came out of the delivery room.

Even if the doctor said she was just tired and fell asleep, he was used to seeing Lu Youyou's bright smile. She should be as beautiful as the moon and as radiant as the sun, and should never look pale and fragile.

If you weren't extremely tired and uncomfortable, why would you stay asleep and not wake up?

Two hours earlier, he had witnessed a pregnant woman walk out of the delivery room on her own. When he saw Lu Youyou lying down and being wheeled out, his heart felt like it was being strangled by a steel cable.

Gu Qingye's words were clearly written on his face, and Lu Youyou could even see herself, like a porcelain doll, in his eyes.

Fine, it's good to be waited on hand and foot. She worked so hard to have two kids, so it's only right that she enjoys it!
The Gu family father and daughter, who were gathered around the crib, had already heard the commotion, but stopped in their tracks because of the towering dog food barrier.

Gu Hongying blushed; she wanted to look, but was too embarrassed to.

She's never been in a relationship before, and this close-up display of affection completely overwhelmed the young woman.

So, are the older brother and sister-in-law really this sweet?

It's hard to imagine that the tough, strong older brother could one day become so gentle.

Although she could tell the two were very close during the New Year's dinner, it wasn't as obvious as it is now. When they were whispering sweet nothings to each other, they couldn't see anyone else. She didn't even have time to hide.

Gu Hongying couldn't help but steal another glance. Her older brother had kissed her sister-in-law five, six, seven, or eight times.

My face is flushed, my heart is pounding, and I feel like I'm being force-fed dog food.

"Red tassel? Red tassel?"

Gu Hongying felt a tap on her shoulder and instinctively looked up: "What's wrong, Dad?"

"Your sister-in-law is calling you," Gu Bohuai said.

Gu Hongying snapped out of her daze and saw her older brother and sister-in-law looking at her: "Ah, sorry, I... um... I was daydreaming..."

"Thank you for coming to see me," Lu Youyou said with a light laugh.

"Of course, of course." Gu Hongying quickly pulled herself out of her sweet romantic drama. "I haven't congratulated you yet, sister-in-law! Both babies are so adorable!"

Gu Bohuai quickly added, "Youyou, congratulations, you've worked hard!" He had also been forced to eat a large bowl of dog food earlier and hadn't had a chance to speak.

At this moment, Lin Nanxing and the nanny returned. Seeing that Lu Youyou had woken up, they immediately handed the baby bottle to Gu Qingye and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"When did you wake up? How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong?" Lin Nanxing checked her temperature and touched the sheets. He was relieved to find that everything was normal.

"It's alright." Lu Youyou nodded gently.

Whether it was telepathy or the smell of milk, the two children suddenly burst into tears.

Don't let their small size fool you; when the twins wail, it's absolutely deafening. And since it's a duet, their voices are even more ear-piercing.

Gu Bohuai immediately picked up the older sister beside him and coaxed her, "Oh, don't worry, I'll feed you right away." As he spoke, he took the bottle from the nanny's hand.

His movements were so practiced that Gu Hongying was stunned: "Dad, you know how to soothe a child?"

Gu Bohuai smiled and glanced at her: "When you were little, I also had to coax you. You were so picky when you were so tiny. No one could do what you wanted, but you would stop crying as soon as I held you."

Gu Hongying's face started to flush. This was so embarrassing! Luckily, the child was still good-looking, especially the way he sucked on the bottle with all his might, his eyebrows and eyes all scrunched up – he was just too cute!

The nanny picked up another baby to feed him, but Gu Qingye stood up and said, "Give it to me, I'll hold it."

As soon as he said that, everyone stared at him.

The nanny hesitated for a moment before carefully placing the younger brother in Gu Qingye's arms, her hands never leaving him, always protecting him from below.

Gu Hongying had only ever seen him holding a gun; now that the gun had been replaced by a child, the scene was quite bizarre.

Gu Qingye's hands were very steady, and the child didn't cry even after changing "mounts." She lay comfortably in her father's strong arms and suckled vigorously in the same position as her sister.

"Big brother, have you ever held a child before?" Gu Hongying asked curiously.

“He practiced at home for several months and is already quite skilled,” Lu Youyou said with a smile.

Gu Qingye not only practiced with pillows at home, but his skills were also tested in real combat.

The owner of the fried dough stick shop at the entrance of the alley had a child who was just over a year old. Gu Qingye humbly asked for advice, and the owner's wife generously offered up her own chubby baby.

Gu Qingye mastered excellent kung fu skills, and later the chubby boy would smile whenever he saw him, and he would also laugh whenever he saw anyone in military uniform.

Seeing that Lu Youyou wanted to sit up, Gu Qingye was still able to free up one hand to help her. He held the baby steadily with one hand, without any wobbling.

Customer reviews are the most authentic. My younger brother was completely absorbed in drinking milk and was extremely comfortable. Except for the way he frowned and strained, which made him look like a little old man, his whole body exuded comfort.

Lin Nanxing was very satisfied. Men should take the initiative to take care of children and not push everything onto their wives. Even if there is a nanny, they should not be hands-off.

So far, Gu Qingye has done a good job, and Lin Nanxing, as a member of her family, is quite satisfied.

Lu Youyou had just given birth, and after talking for a while, she felt tired and lay down again, falling asleep soon after.

As soon as she closed her eyes, everyone immediately became quieter. When the child cried, Gu Qingye took him outside to comfort him, afraid of disturbing her rest.

Gu Bohuai then took his leave: "Comrade Lu, Comrade Lin, we'll be going now. If you need anything, please contact me directly, or you can tell Qingye."

Gu Bohuai refused when Lu Zhiyu offered to see him downstairs: "Comrade Lu, please wait. You and your mother-in-law have had a hard time these past few days."

Lu Zhiyu smiled and nodded, watching the two leave.

He was reasonably satisfied with this in-law. Putting aside the past, Gu Bohuai's actions after the Qingye incident were barely acceptable.

Knowing that her family couldn't provide adequate postpartum care, she provided the full amount of money, buying whatever the baby needed and preparing anything else in advance. Although the Lu family wasn't lacking in these things, it showed their good intentions.
After the guests left, Lu Zhiyu immediately turned around and went back to the ward. He was about to return to the base to be "isolated from the world" again, so he had to seize the time to be affectionate with his two little babies.
