Gu Yi got a late start on marinating the fish.
There wasn’t enough ti to cook the at, so Gu Yi decided to braise the fish and stir-fry so shredded potatoes.
Even though Ye Hao knew Gu Yi was back, he was still especially happy to see her when he got ho.
"Hurry and wash your hands, it’s ti to eat."
Gu Yi placed the fish on the table, smiled, and said this when she saw Ye Hao return.
After saying that, Gu Yi turned around and went back into the kitchen to stir-fry the potatoes.
Ye Hao finished washing his hands and went into the kitchen.
"Are you hungry?"
Gu Yi asked as Ye Hao walked in.
"I’m okay. Do you need any help?"
"There’s nothing to help with. You can go rest outside."
Before Gu Yi finished speaking, Ye Hao hugged her from behind.
"Is everything at the store taken care of?"
"For now, this is the best we can do; we’ll see as we go."
Gu Yi thought about how, not being there, she didn’t know how things were going at the store.
Based on previous situations, it should be better than before.
"Don’t think too much about it. By the way, mom called today asking if we’re going ho for the New Year."
"What did you tell her?"
Gu Yi also wanted to know; she genuinely missed ho a bit.
"I asked Li Camp Commander, and it seems I should be able to take leave and go ho for the New Year this year."
Ye Hao ntioned this while eating.
"Really? Then we need to buy tickets, don’t we? Who knows if we can still get them now."
Hearing they could go ho, Gu Yi was especially happy but worried there might be too many people and tickets would be hard to get.
"I’ve already asked the commander to help us, so there’s no need to worry."
Ye Hao said this quickly, worried Gu Yi might get anxious.
"That’s good. When can we go ho?"
"We’ll leave on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month."
"Then I need to get all the marinated at and fish ready in the next couple of days."
Gu Yi thought she should hang up the marinated items today.
"No rush. I’ll hang them up the day before we leave, so don’t worry about it."
Even though Ye Hao joined the army early,
he still rembered so of the things Ye’s mother used to do when he was a kid.
Even by the ti they finished eating, Ye Hao hadn’t ntioned anything about her shopping.
"Is there anything else you want to tell ?"
When they were getting ready for bed, Gu Yi suddenly asked.
"Are you talking about what happened when I dropped you off at the camp today?"
Ye Hao seed to suddenly rember.
"Kind of. I don’t believe you didn’t hear anything."
Gu Yi looked at Ye Hao; she wanted to know what he thought about her friends and so of her habits.
"Yiyi, I know you want to ask about your shopping. It’s your money; you can spend it however you like. You shouldn’t have to hold back just to accommodate others."
Ye Hao very much wanted to give Gu Yi the best life but had to admit that his abilities were still a bit lacking.
Since Gu Yi was working so hard, he didn’t want her to endure any grievances.
"And what if I’m getting close to Li Yitian? How do you feel about that?"
This was also sothing Gu Yi was particularly worried about, not just with Li Yitian.
Gu Yi wanted to earn more money, so she would interact with many people in the future.
There would be won, of course, but also n, and if Ye Hao minded that a lot, it might be troubleso.
"If I said I didn’t care at all, that would be a lie. I’m in the army and often don’t have complete freedom. I’m grateful he can help you, but sotis I’m also quite jealous. You two probably see each other more often than we do."
When Ye Hao said this, Gu Yi looked up, wanting to say sothing to him.
Ye Hao hugged Gu Yi, placing a finger on her lips.
"Yiyi, let finish. Although I get jealous, it’s not because I think there’s sothing between you two. It’s more because it makes feel guilty. You’re working so hard for our future, but I don’t have much ti to be with you."
Ye Hao said this, then leaned down to give Gu Yi a kiss.
"But do you think there’s so negative impact from what I did today?"
Even though it was her own money, Gu Yi fully understood the power of public opinion.
Rumors can snowball, and regret would co too late.
"There won’t be, don’t worry. This involves Yitian too, and if the rumors get too outrageous, our commander won’t ignore them."
Ye Hao had already thought about these things long ago. Others may not know Li Yifan, but as a longti friend,
he knew how protective Li Yifan was, so he wouldn’t let things escalate.’
"That’s good. But I’ll be doing business with different people in the future, including private interactions. You have to trust , okay? My heart is small; it only has room for you."
Gu Yi believed that love should definitely be known by the other person, especially when both are in love.
Expressing love is not only the fastest way for the other person to receive a ssage of being loved but can also further strengthen mutual affection.
"Yiyi, I don’t mind you having your own social circle. But please rember this one thing: no matter what difficulties you face, think of and co to first. I hope that no matter what we encounter, we as a couple can be of one mind, okay?"
Gu Yi couldn’t help but nod as she looked at the sincerity and affection in Ye Hao’s eyes.
"Good girl, you’ll get a nice reward tonight."
Gu Yi was a bit dazed by Ye Hao’s words, wondering how the topic changed so quickly.
They had just been talking about rumors, and now they were talking about rewards.
"Reward, what reward?"
Gu Yi spoke her thoughts out loud.
"Yiyi, are you asking that knowingly?"
Ye Hao chuckled and patted Gu Yi’s head.
It was late at night by the ti Gu Yi understood what Ye Hao ant by reward.
She was so exhausted that she didn’t even want to move her fingers.
This was clearly a reward for Ye Hao, wasn’t it!
The next morning, when Gu Yi woke up, Ye Hao had already gone back to the camp.
She heated up the dicine and drank it after breakfast.
She had been taking this dicine recently and didn’t know how much her cold body had improved.
But lately, she felt she could tolerate the cold better, and her body seed to be more resilient than before.
The dicine she had was almost finished, but she didn’t plan on getting more before the New Year.
Not only would she have to make a special trip in such cold weather, but taking it ho would likely cause a stir.
As Gu Yi and they were preparing for their departure date, others also began going ho gradually.
Ye Honglian and Wu Chuni would be spending the New Year at the camp, whereas Fang Hong went ho earlier.
This year it was Chen Jun’s turn for leave, so he and Li Dongxiang went ho as well.
"Li Dongxiang hasn’t been having an easy ti lately."
When Li Dongxiang and Chen Jun went ho, Ye Honglian and Wu Chuni ca to visit Gu Yi.
When the conversation turned to them going ho, Ye Honglian suddenly blurted this out.
"Those who are pitiable must have sothing detestable about them. Li Dongxiang used to be so arrogant in front of just because her husband is a company commander, higher in rank than my partner. She always had to show off. I said, thankfully your Ye Hao beca a deputy camp commander. If it were Chen Jun, we wouldn’t have had any good days."
Wu Chuni had lots of opinions about Li Dongxiang.
"Why is Li Dongxiang having a hard ti? Did Chen Jun do sothing to her?"
Gu Yi watched them talk and was curious about what happened to Li Dongxiang, especially since she had always been unfriendly towards her.
