Chapter 437: Chickens Flying in the Yard
Chapter 437
The greening was quite good, with lush green shade and fresh air.
Gu Beihuai walked at ease in this residential area, with Gong Jin following behind greeting the elderly people taking a stroll or playing chess along the way.
Most of the residents in this area were seniors, with few young people coming back.
Like this, after passing through most of the residential area, the two headed in separate directions.
Gu Beihuai went up the stairs to a unit building on the right, while Gong Jin went left.
However, Gong Jin suddenly turned back and shouted, "Hey, don\'t forget to call me when leaving tomorrow. I\'ll go have fun with you."
Gu Beihuai: "Didn\'t get you a plane ticket."
After saying this, he quickly went upstairs and entered a household.
Upon entering, he naturally took off his shoes and bowed his head.
Gu Beihuai: "Mom, I\'m home."
It was a simple two-bedroom apartment. Gu Beihuai\'s mother lived here usually. His grandfather had lived here before, but passed away a few years ago.
Fortunately he left peacefully, without pain, illness or regret. Having reached old age, he simply passed on.
Compared to the luxury and grandeur of South Xiangwan\'s home, this place was ordinary and inconspicuous, even a bit shabby.
But this residential area gathered the most respectable batch of people in China - charging across the Yalu River, beating the devils of Japan, carrying the heavy artillery!
They were fearless and loyal, not caring for wealth and splendor, only wishing for China\'s great rivers and mountains to be peaceful.
Gu Boyi was somewhat surprised. He put down his newspaper and saw his son had come back?
Gu Beihuai was also surprised. "Dad, you\'re here too?"
Gu Boyi was almost speechless. "What\'s wrong with me coming to see your mom? We\'re husband and wife!"
Gu Beihuai: "Oh, how did you have time off from the research institute?"
Gu Boyi waved his hand. "Don\'t worry about my matters."
At this time, Ye Feimei walked out of the kitchen. She looked Gu Beihuai up and down, then asked while serving dishes, "You\'re much thinner. Are your eyes okay? I heard you had surgery?"
Gu Beihuai answered her questions one by one, obedient and patient.
Gu Boyi put down his newspaper and came over. "Since our son is back, how about a drink?"
Ye Feimei: "Sure, bring out my 53 degree Feitian Maotai. Let\'s finish two bottles!"
Gu Boyi: "No, that\'s not what I meant. Just a little toast."
Ye Feimei: "What little toast, if drinking then drink properly!"
Gu Boyi: "Nevermind, I won\'t drink then."
Gu Beihuai smiled to the side. Anyway he wasn\'t drinking, so they could keep arguing.
The dishes were simple home cooking. Ye Feimei\'s culinary skills were great, even making caramelization.
In her own words, she secretly snuck into the cooking unit to learn killer moves when her grandfather wouldn\'t let her join the army. She also brought back superb cooking skills.
The family of three was harmonious. The parents were very happy to see their son.
After eating, Gu Boyi went to wash dishes.
Gu Beihuai remained seated without moving. In the past this would definitely earn a scolding.
But with his injury, how could his eyes take it?
After 16, his parents spoiled him very much. He would never need to do housework like washing dishes again.
Due to his eyes, Gu Beihuai could not be overworked. Continuing military service was impossible, so he could only retire.
He excelled in academics, inheriting all of Gu Boyi\'s intelligence and observational skills. But Gu Beihuai could not pursue in-depth scientific research. His eyes couldn\'t take it.
So he became a celebrity and also attended university.
His parents didn\'t bring up these matters often. They still felt regretful that Gu Beihuai could not inherit either of their accomplishments.
Thinking of this, Ye Feimei sighed. She wiped the table, then sat down facing Gu Beihuai.
She had excellent bearing. Despite nearing 50 years old, her long military career allowed her to be upright anytime, anywhere.
This bearing superseded the years and outshone youth. What people remembered wasn\'t her face, but the military aura of a soldier!
After finishing the dishes, Gu Boyi also came to sit next to Ye Feimei.
Seeing the timing was right, Gu Beihuai spoke. "Let me report something to both elders."
Ye Feimei: "Speak."
Gu Beihuai: "I want to start a relationship."
Gu Boyi: "Pfft - Cough cough cough! Cough, oh my goodness!"
He suddenly choked and coughed wildly.
Beside him, Ye Feimei glanced at her husband very contemptuously, then signalled for Gu Beihuai to continue.
Gu Beihuai: "I met a girl I like."
After recovering, Gu Boyi nodded indifferently. "Oh, how old is she? How big, good looking?"
Ye Feimei: "Shut up!"
Gu Boyi: "Alright, alright."
Gu Beihuai smiled. "Not very old, just turned 18. Very pretty."
Ye Feimei frowned. "Too young."
Gu Beihuai: "I want to bring her home to meet my parents in a few days."
Ye Feimei: "You two are already dating?"
Gu Beihuai: "No, I\'m pursuing her."
Gu Boyi: "Bringing her home before even dating? This is..."
Ye Feimei: "Let\'s talk after you\'ve dated. And consider carefully - you\'re 25 and she\'s 18, too big of an age gap!"
Her tone and attitude clearly showed her disapproval.
To ease the atmosphere, Gu Boyi changed topics. "What does she do? Still in school?"
Gu Beihuai was indifferent. "Oh, she\'s a celebrity."
Ye Feimei became even more unhappy. "18 years old, not in school but a celebrity. Forget whether she understands the responsibility of love at this age, you haven\'t even dated and want to bring her home? Gu Beihuai, when did you become so unreliable?"
Gu Beihuai was completely calm. "Hm, just bring her home to meet parents first, then let nature take its course."
Ye Feimei jumped up. "You! You\'re trying to anger me to death! Get out and live in your hundred million mansion! Where\'s the broom, where\'s my wolf tooth club? I\'m going to break this kid\'s legs!"
She grabbed something nearby, about to hit him.
Gu Boyi quickly stopped her. "Wife! Stop! This is a war trophy your dad brought back from the border. What if you break it?"
Ye Feimei looked and put down the item. Then she continued searching the house for a broom and wolf tooth club.
Gu Boyi winked at his son. "Run, hurry and go!"
Gu Beihuai was totally unconcerned. He calmly walked into his room and shut the door to sleep.
Gu Boyi: "..."
This kid really had a lot of nerve!
Angering his mother like this, yet going to sleep in his room?
If it were him, he\'d have run long ago!
After a while, Ye Feimei found a broom and wanted to charge into Gu Beihuai\'s room to beat him up.
But the door was locked from inside. Laughter could be heard as he chatted on the phone.
Ye Feimei: "!!!"
