Chapter 455 Captain Gu, are you going to take care of the kids again today?
With her parents-in-law around, Shen Shuyu had a lot of free time. When she had no classes, she would go up the mountain with her sisters-in-law to dig wild vegetables and bring back two bundles of firewood.
The firewood she picked up were all large logs, and only she could bring these logs back.
Shen Shuyu had previously transplanted wild yam roots into the space for planting. Now they are growing well and are edible. Every time he goes down the mountain, Shen Shuyu will take out one or two roots, saying that he dug them up on the mountain.
Gu Changfeng and Su Yueru both love to eat this thing, and they can't stop smiling when they see the yam.
"Mom, we can't finish it all at once. Why don't we dry it into yam slices? After it's dried, you can take it back to the Northwest. Just take it out and cook it when you want to eat it."
Every time Shen Shuyu came back, she would take three or four sticks, all of which were big and could not be finished in one go.
It is best to dry it in the sun.
"Okay, I'll slice it and dry it tomorrow." Once it's dried, it can be kept for a long time and you can eat it whenever you want.
"Shu Yu, you can go to the mountains to play, so you don't have to carry firewood home. Your father is free, so let him run more times."
Although I know my daughter-in-law is strong, no matter how strong she is, she will get tired. She can just go up the mountain to play if she is bored. There is no need to carry firewood.
"Your mother is right. You don't need to carry the firewood at home. Jiandong and I are here. We are two grown men. There is no need for you to carry firewood."
"Carrying firewood is just an easy thing to do. Mom and Dad, it won't tire me out."
Xiaoze has been sleeping with his grandparents these days. Tonight, Su Yueru took her eldest grandson back to their room to sleep, but Xiaoze refused and kept pointing at his parents' room.
"Xiao Ze, do you want to sleep with your parents?"
Xiaoze nodded, and Su Yueru handed the eldest grandson to her daughter-in-law, "Shuyu, Xiaoze wants to sleep with you. Remember to wake Jiandong up at night to make milk powder for Xiaoze."
"it is good."
Gu Jiandong secretly made himself a flashy outfit, intending to wear it tonight in front of Shen Shuyu and let his wife love him well, but he ended up having a light bulb sleeping in the middle.
"Shuyu, let me carry Xiaoze to the next room. Mom and Dad can't sleep without Xiaoze."
"Then hold me."
Gu Jiandong picked up his son and before he stepped out of the door, Xiaoze started crying. He took two steps back, and Xiaoze smiled sweetly at his father again.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, Xiaoze started crying loudly, then he pulled his foot back and smiled at his father.
Gu Jiandong: "…" This kid clearly wants to be a light bulb tonight.
Gu Jiandong wanted to take his son to the next door while he was sleeping. He tried several times. Every time he was about to leave the house, Xiaoze looked at his father with round eyes.
Gu Jiandong: “…”
Shen Shuyu had already had a good sleep, and seeing that he still wanted to take his son away, Shen Shuyu suppressed her laughter, "Gu Jiandong, it's already midnight, go to sleep. Your son obviously doesn't want to make you happy tonight."
Gu Jiandong nodded, prepared some milk powder to feed his son, and silently hid the flashy clothes he had taken out.
Shen Shuyu had a good dream all night. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiaoze sitting next to her, holding his tiger doll and looking at her with his black eyes.
Seeing his mother got up, Xiaoze crawled into his mother's arms and smacked her twice, making Shen Shuyu's face covered with saliva.
Now, wherever Xiaoze is, Bailuobo will be there. Seeing Shen Shuyu wake up, Bailuobo barked twice, and Gu Jiandong came in quickly, "Shuyu is awake, mom made lean meat and vegetable porridge, you can eat it after you get up and wash up."
Shen Shuyu still had to go to class, so she played with her son on the bed for a while and then got up.
"Where are your parents?"
"My parents went up the mountain, saying they were collecting firewood."
"We have enough firewood at home. Tell mom and dad not to go out and to rest at home."
When her parents-in-law came, Shen Shuyu wished that they could relax a little and not be as busy all day long as they were in the northwest.
"I told my parents, and they said they wanted to go for a walk in the mountains."
After Shen Shuyu had breakfast, she was about to carry her son to class. Gu Jiandong came out of the kitchen and said, "I'll take care of Xiaoze. I don't have anything to do today."
"I'm leaving."
When Shen Shuyu went out, Gu Jiandong tied his son to his back and went out with him on his back.
Gu Jiandong is a grown man, but he always carries his child on his back when he goes out. He is a beautiful sight in the military area.
Everyone subconsciously assumes that men are the breadwinners and women are the homemakers. Men shed blood and tears in the army, while women are responsible for taking care of the children at home so that men can have a hot meal when they come home.
There is really no man like Gu Jiandong who often carries his children on his back.
Many sisters-in-law secretly gossiped about Shen Shuyu behind her back, saying that she didn't care about her family, was unfit to be a mother, couldn't even take care of a child, and wanted to leave it to a man who was as busy as a top. It was really outrageous.
These words did not reach the ears of Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong, and neither of them knew about it.
"Captain Gu, you have to take care of the child again today? You've worked so hard. My wife is very free. If you are at ease, you can leave the child to my wife. You are a man who can do great things."
The person who spoke was Gu Jiandong's comrade-in-arms. Seeing that he was carrying the child out again today, he thought that he asked his wife to take care of the child. If he needs Captain Gu's help in the future, Captain Gu will also remember the favor of taking care of the child.
Gu Jiandong is always quiet outside, "No need."
Gu Jiandong only takes care of the children when he is not busy. He has nothing to do today. He can write a training plan in the office and then go home to cook.
If he is very busy, he will not bring the child out. This is irresponsible to his work and to the child.
Jiang Ziqiang was in the same office with him. When he saw him coming, he took Xiaoze off his back, put Xiaoze on his neck, and helped him run around the office, making Xiaoze laugh.
After turning around several times, Jiang Ziqiang finally stopped and said, "You carry Xiaoze out every other day. Do you know what people say about you?"
"say what?"
"You are afraid of your wife and cannot beat her, so you are so frustrated in raising the children."
"Ah."
"No, you're not angry at all?"
"Why are you angry? Only incompetent people care about what others say about being afraid of their wives. Besides, I am taking care of my own son. Why should I feel aggrieved? I should spend more time with my son.
I have gained the time I never dreamed of with my son. When my son grows up, he will always remember that his father loves him. The love I give him as a father will surpass everything else. When I am old, I can always tell my son about his childhood fun stories when I look at him growing up..."
Jiang Ziqiang listened and gave his good brother a thumbs up, "Brother, this is what you did. When my child is born, I will also learn from you."
To be honest, as a man himself, he sometimes doesn't understand men. Women can work and take care of the family at the same time, so why can't men?
Using the excuse of being busy with career, he yells at his wife when he gets home. If she fails to teach the children well, it is all her fault. If she fails to take good care of her parents at home, it is also her fault.
Xiaoze, who was in Uncle Jiang's arms, gave Uncle Jiang a wicked smile. Gu Jiandong looked up and saw this scene and quickly put his son on the ground.
