Chapter 343 Comrades-in-Arms, the Bond Between Brothers
This is the expression on the face of Commander Lu when he saw Zhou Qishan.
He muttered, "Fine, don't eat it if you don't want to!" and made a move to take the smoked meat from Zhou Qishan's hand.
"Eat, eat, eat!" Zhou Qishan hurriedly stuffed the smoked meat in his hand into his mouth.
I was afraid that if I was too slow, Chief Lu would actually take the smoked meat away.
Then I really won't have anything to eat, even if it's just a small piece of meat.
When Chief Lu saw Zhou Qishan's pathetic state, he couldn't help but smile.
Su Niannian, who was standing to the side, laughed when she saw this scene.
Zhou Qishan, Brother Zhou, usually seems very composed. This childlike demeanor is only seen when he's with Chief Lu.
It's actually quite interesting.
Su Niannian picked up the large piece of smoked meat that Chief Lu had just given her.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Qishan assumed that Miss Su wanted to give it to him, and thought that Miss Su was a really nice person.
But the next second, Su Niannian stood up from the bedside with a large piece of smoked meat in her hand.
He walked directly to Gu Nan and fed him to his mouth.
Gu Nan opened his mouth and snatched the smoked meat that Su Niannian handed him. It was a rather large piece, but he still put the whole thing in his mouth and ate it in big bites.
Well, Zhou Qishan was speechless.
It turns out that Miss Su intended the food for her man, not for herself.
I had thought that Miss Su was a nice person.
Zhou Qishan had a look on his face as if he had eaten shit.
Upon seeing this, Chief Lu couldn't help but chuckle again.
He took a large piece and handed it to Zhou Qishan.
"When have I ever wronged you to eat?" Old Commander Lu said irritably.
Seeing this, Zhou Qishan smiled憨厚ly, took the meat, and ate it heartily.
Sure enough, I'm still the one favored by Chief Lu.
Zhou Qishan smiled happily.
On the other hand, Tian Guangzhi had a look on his face as if he had eaten shit.
So, you all enjoyed the meat my mom made, while I'm still stuck here with my wrists choked.
As expected, I'm the one who's not favored...
"You bastard, you ate all the smoked meat my mother made, and you still won't let go of me? Do you really think I can't beat you?" Tian Guangzhi said to Gu Nan irritably while his wrist was being grabbed.
Thinking to myself that Gu Nan had been in the countryside for so long, I assumed his reaction time hadn't been as quick as before.
How come you're still so skilled?
I've been training hard in the army all this time, and I'm still not as good as this brat?
Do you even care about your own reputation?
Just as he was thinking this, Gu Nan had already let go.
To be fair, one is bound to be grateful for what one has received. It's not right to bully the old woman's son after already having eaten her meat. That's why he finally let go.
Just as Tian Guangzhi felt his wrist being released, he immediately retaliated with an elbow strike.
We should at least make Gu Nan feel the pain.
Otherwise, those two minutes of being forcibly controlled would have been incredibly embarrassing.
However, Gu Nan seemed to have been on guard all along, and actually bent back to dodge Tian Guangzhi's attack.
"It's never going to end." Gu Nan mumbled, chewing on meat.
As a result, he grabbed Tian Guangzhi by the back of the neck.
Tian Guangzhi nimbly dodged.
"Luckily, I was prepared."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Nan grabbed Tian Guangzhi's other hand and pulled it to his chest.
Tian Guangzhi lost his balance and fell directly into Gu Nan's arms.
If the person being pulled were Su Niannian, she would actually find this action somewhat ambiguous.
But when the object of affection is changed to a tall, muscular man, the ambiguous feeling completely disappears.
Gu Nan and Tian Guangzhi hugged.
Tian Guangzhi punched Gu Nan hard in the back.
There was a muffled sound.
"Good brother, I've finally waited for you to come back." As soon as Tian Guangzhi said this, he felt a lump in his throat.
But a real man doesn't cry; he bleeds but doesn't shed tears.
"I'm back." Gu Nan had already swallowed the smoked meat in his mouth.
He spoke calmly.
The seemingly calm voice actually contained a great deal of camaraderie.
Gu Nan and Tian Guangzhi have known each other for quite some time.
Tian Guangzhi was Gu Nan's superior and had watched Gu Nan climb from a lowly soldier to the position of regimental commander.
They had been on missions together before, and Gu Nan impressed Tian Guangzhi with both his physical abilities and his intelligence.
When Gu Nansheng became a regimental commander, Tian Guangzhi was still a brigade commander. The two were twelve years apart in age, but they had a lot to talk about.
When Gu Nan left the army, Tian Guangzhi remained in a state of regret for quite some time.
Tian Guangzhi was very happy that Gu Nan was able to return this time.
This farce just unfolded.
This kind of brotherhood, this bond between comrades-in-arms, this kind of affection, really warms the heart.
"Alright, his wife is still here, why are you two hugging like this?" Chief Lu said with a pout.
The two quickly released their embrace and laughed.
There was awkwardness in the laughter, but even more so, the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
Tian Guangzhi patted Gu Nan's chest with the back of his hand.
"You've been out there for so long, and your skills haven't gotten any worse. That's impressive," Tian Guangzhi said with a smile.
"Of course, I can't be worse than you," Gu Nan said without any modesty.
Upon hearing this, Tian Guangzhi clicked his tongue and said, "Only you would dare to say something like that to me."
As he spoke, Tian Guangzhi pulled a chair over to Gu Nan and plopped down on the other side.
Su Niannian had already sat back down on the hospital bed while the two were fighting. Just as Su Niannian sat back down, Chief Lu stuffed a large piece of meat into her mouth.
In this era, at this time, meat is still a very precious commodity.
Chief Lu was worried that Su Niannian wasn't eating well, so he stuffed large chunks of meat into her food.
Su Niannian knew that Chief Lu was concerned about her, so she smiled and accepted it.
Even though she was already quite full.
"So, did the three of you know each other before?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan with interest as she sat by the hospital bed.
This morning, Su Niannian could tell that Zhou Qishan and Tian Guangzhi were old acquaintances.
Now Tian Guangzhi and Gu Nan are doing this again, so did these three know each other before?
Thinking back to when they were in Kaoshan Village, Zhou Qishan probably only heard of Gu Nan but didn't know him personally.
So Su Niannian became somewhat curious.
“Zhou Qishan was sent out on a secret mission by me a few years ago, and he really didn’t know Gu Nan before.”
Commander Lu placed the remaining meat in Zhou Qishan's hands, indicating that he could not eat any more.
Zhou Qishan took a piece of meat, put the rest of the meat on the small table, and gestured for Gu Nan and Tian Guangzhi to eat.
“In the past, I only knew about Gu Nan from what I heard when I reported missions to Commander Lu,” Zhou Qishan said.
