Chapter 136: Inquire

"Why call my dad?" Gu Hangbao asked directly, "Do you know my dad?"

Meng Jiusi said 'mm', "Right, I know him. Just say the lame person at the foot of the mountain is calling him, and there's something very urgent."

The twins didn't act on their own, like directly refusing for their dad.

They agreed, "You wait, we'll go call him."

"Don't let anyone hear," Meng Jiusi exhorted.

Although Xiang Yubao felt he was mysterious, he didn't go against him, nodded, held hands, and ran down the mountain with a patter.

Back home.

"Dad, someone's looking for you!" Gu Hangbao's loud voice rang out.

Xiang Yubao covered his younger brother's mouth, "Lower your voice!"

Gu Chenghuai walked over, looked toward the door, didn't see anyone, and looked down at his two sons, "Who's looking for me?"

"The lame person living at the foot of the mountain, the one with the small earlobes, he said he has something very urgent to find you," Xiang Yubao told his dad.

Hearing this, Lin Zhao raised her eyes.

Early in the morning, why would Fourth Brother call the cubs' dad? Something must be up, and it wasn't a small matter.

"I'll go with you," she stood up.

Gu Chenghuai: "No need, you eat first, I'll send you to work when I get back."

After speaking, he strode out of the house.

The twins wanted to follow, but Lin Zhao thought of something and hurriedly called out to stop the two cubs, "Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, I can't finish this fried egg, can you two little men help Mom finish it?"

The brothers braked urgently.

Fried egg.

"Okay," Xiang Yubao's voice was sweet.

Gu Hangbao laughed carelessly, sat beside Lin Zhao, and looked full of confusion, "Mom, fried eggs are so delicious, Gu Hangbao and I can't get enough, why can't you finish it? What a pity."

Lin Zhao smiled, "Because I'm full from eating other things, fried eggs can only be finished by the super awesome twins."

The brothers were coaxed by their mom until their lips curled up wildly.

Xiang Yubao said: "Mom, you divide it for us."

Gu Hangbao added, "Mom, you have to be fair, you can't have one big and one small, Gu Hangbao and I have to split it equally."

"Don't worry, when have I not been fair?" Lin Zhao used chopsticks to divide the fried egg into two, half for each cub, "Are they the same size?"

The brothers said in unison: "They're the same, Mom is really great."

"Eat."

Leaving the twins behind, Lin Zhao had time to think about Fourth Brother's affairs, making all kinds of guesses, wondering why Fourth Brother would call the cubs' dad, but couldn't think of anything.

Gu Chenghuai had long legs and walked like the wind, soon arriving at the foot of the mountain and finding Meng Jiusi.

"Fourth Brother, you looking for me?"

Meng Jiusi opened his mouth and asked: "Chenghuai, I have something I need your help with."

"You say," Gu Chenghuai said steadily.

"Do you have comrades-in-arms in the capital?"

"I do, the relationship is quite good."

Meng Jiusi's eyes lit up, and he said embarrassedly: "I'm worried about my two children at home, I want to entrust you to find someone to inquire."

Just this matter.

Gu Chenghuai smiled, "Zhao Zhao already told me."

Meng Jiusi was slightly stunned, "Zhao Zhao told you?"

"Mm, she said it early this morning," Gu Chenghuai said.

What he didn't say was that Zhao Zhao also muttered a few words, seemingly worried about the two nephews' situation.

Meng Jiusi felt an indescribable movement in his heart.

He blinked his eyes fiercely.

His voice was slightly hoarse due to the great emotional fluctuation, "Sorry to trouble you."

"It's nothing."

Gu Chenghuai returned to the village and saw the educated youth leaving his house from afar.

He narrowed his long, cold eyes and walked home quickly.

After arriving home, he looked at Lin Zhao, "Did the educated youth come to the house?"

"Mm, asked me to help bring things," Lin Zhao said.

She was someone who respected those who respected her, so if the educated youth was polite and asked for help, she would help.

For those educated youth who clearly wanted to take advantage, don't blame her for putting them on her blacklist.

Meng Xiaoying: "..." Say my name.

"If you want to bring them, bring them, if you don't want to, refuse," Gu Chenghuai said.

Lin Zhao took out the things the cubs' dad wanted to take to his mother's old home and said: "I know, it's almost time, let's go."

Gu Chenghuai agreed, hung the things on the front of the bike, and pushed the bike out of the door.

After they left the village, Lin Zhao asked: "What did Fourth Brother want with you?"

"Asked me to help inquire about Jingmo and Guangbai's news," Gu Chenghuai said.

Lin Zhao reacted quickly and smiled, "My two nephews, one is named Meng Jingmo, and one is named Meng Guangbai?"

"Yes," Gu Chenghuai nodded.

"They seem to be herbs?" Lin Zhao wasn't very sure.

"Mm, Fourth Brother said they were named by Grandpa Meng."

Lin Zhao leaned her head on the man's back, laughing softly, "Sure enough, they study traditional Chinese medicine."

"Then I'll leave the matter of Momo and Xiaobai to you to inquire about."

Gu Chenghuai said gently: "Small matter."

"It's not small, it hurts human feelings," Lin Zhao muttered, but it didn't matter, they would definitely go to the capital in the future, and when the time came, they would find a chance to repay the favor.

"It's fine, I'll repay it." Gu Chenghuai didn't care.

His comrades-in-arms were closer than own brothers, they didn't care about these things, and if he said something shameless, his value was high, and those comrades were happy for him to owe favors so they could open their mouths when they needed something later.

Lin Zhao didn't pick up this topic again.

She knew Gu Chenghuai would go to pick up Gu Qingzhou after making the phone call, and was afraid he wouldn't have time to pick her up from work, so she said: "Don't pick me up this afternoon, I'll go back myself, you stay at your uncle's house for a while, it's rare to go once."

"Okay, you take the ox cart back, it's too far and too hot, don't get heatstroke," Gu Chenghuai was worried about his wife.

Zhao Zhao got off work at three, which was the hottest time.

Lin Zhao was puzzled, "Is the ox cart out today?"

The neighboring brigade of the Bumper Harvest Brigade had an ox cart, but it was very precious and rarely came out except to pick up educated youth.

"Mm," Gu Chenghuai answered.

"Okay, I'll take the ox cart back."

Gu Chenghuai arranged for his wife, and only then felt relieved, and after a while said: "Buy a few popsicles after work."

"Okay."

Gu Chenghuai sent Lin Zhao to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, watched her go in, and turned to the post office.

Called his comrade in the capital.

Yunjian was on vacation today and had just woken up, intending to go out to find food, when he heard the phone ring and answered it directly.

"Where?"

Gu Chenghuai: "Gu Chenghuai."

"Chenghuai?" Yunjian's happy voice came through the phone line to Gu Chenghuai's eardrum, "Did you receive the ping pong balls? Capital specialty, do your four cubs like them? If they like them, I'll send more."

Gu Chenghuai only then knew his comrade had sent other things, "Haven't received them yet, thank you."

Yunjian raised an eyebrow.

Haven't received them? That meant there was something to find him for.

"Have serious business with me?"

Gu Chenghuai went straight to the point: "Want to ask you to help inquire about two people."

"Address?" Yunjian didn't have a single word of nonsense and asked directly.

Gu Chenghuai spat out a string of addresses, and the names Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai.

Yunjian was afraid of remembering wrong, took paper and pen to write it down, and the comrade repeated it, "No mistake, right?"

"Mm, sorry to trouble you." Gu Chenghuai said steadily.

"You're welcome, I'll call you back tomorrow afternoon."

The two agreed on the time to call again, then hung up.

Gu Chenghuai didn't rush to leave and asked the post office worker if there was a package for him.

Liang Yi flipped through the list and saw there was, and looking at the address, it was Lin Zhao's house.

She quietly scanned the tall man, testing: "Family member of Comrade Lin Zhao?"

Gu Chenghuai liked this female comrade's address, a flash of softness that was almost imperceptible passed through his eyes, and his voice sounded so cold when mentioning Lin Zhao.

"Mm, I am Lin Zhao's husband."

Liang Yi curled her lips, revealing shallow dimples, "I've heard Zhao Zhao mention you, you are really a match."

As she spoke, she called out the number, and another worker went to the room next door to take the package.

The large package from the capital left a deep impression on the post office staff, and they were still guessing what was inside at the time.

The target was clear, and it was taken out quickly.

The male comrade took out the package and put it on the counter, "Comrade, this is your package, please sign on the list."

Gu Chenghuai glanced at it and signed his big name.

The handwriting was dashing and elegant, the strokes continuous and swirling, like flowing clouds and water, extremely beautiful.

Liang Yi subconsciously thought of Lin Zhao's handwriting, and a thought popped into her mind: do good-looking people write beautifully?

It was indescribably complex in her heart.

Gu Chenghuai took the package, arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, took the package in, and informed Lin Zhao that it was sent by his comrade.

Lin Zhao had a new understanding of the man's camaraderie.

"What is it?"

Gu Chenghuai said: "Little Stone's ping pong balls, and specialties sent for the four cubs. You divide some for Yunjin and the others, and have him send you to the ox cart."

Song Yunjin:...?

Lin Zhao couldn't help but laugh, Yunjin was being arranged clearly.

She agreed, "Got it, you go quickly."

Gu Chenghuai responded, and only then left.

After being busy for a while, when there was free time, Lin Zhao unpacked the package.

First she saw a set of ping pong paddles, then a row of ping pong balls in a round tube.

Then there were the welcome gifts for the four cubs.

Two boxes of animal biscuits, a can of preserved fruit, a few bars of chocolate, a bag of rice crackers, a bag of meat jerky, and four brightly colored little masks.

Truly generous, worthy of being a high-ranking cadre's child from the capital.

Lin Zhao thought secretly in her heart.

Before she could make another move, Song Yunjin came to deliver her meal.

"Sister, I'm here." Song Yunjin greeted, came to his sister's counter, saw the chocolate in the package, and his eyes went straight.

"Sister, chocolate?!!" He rubbed his eyes, looked again, and those few bars of chocolate were still there.

Lin Zhao took a bar of chocolate and stuffed it into his hand, smiling: "Your brother-in-law's comrade sent it for the four cubs, here's a bar for you."

"People gave it to the four cubs, how can I want..."

Before Song Yunjin could finish speaking, Lin Zhao interrupted his voice, "Your brother-in-law asked to divide it, you have to be my coolie, help me carry the things to where the ox cart stops."

Song Yunjin decisively accepted the chocolate, stood straight, gave a military salute, and said seriously: "Sister, don't worry, guarantee to send you to the ox cart."

Lin Zhao opened the lunch box and started eating.

"Sister, why did you put money yesterday, my parents went back, saw the large stack of big unity notes stuffed in the sofa gap, and were startled." Song Yunjin lowered his voice, looking sneaky.

"I asked Uncle to help me renovate the courtyard, I should have given money, otherwise what would I become." Lin Zhao was afraid Yunjin would spray saliva into the rice, pushed his face away, "Those money were stuffed into my hands by my dad and mom, saying it was money for me to renovate the courtyard, I'm just an errand runner, I have no soul."

"..."

"Sister, you're really good at pulling." Song Yunjin didn't believe it at all.

"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, go back to Dongfeng Brigade and ask your aunt," Lin Zhao didn't prove it, letting him ask himself.

"Fine, fine, I believe it." Song Yunjin brushed it off, and said unconvinced, "Even if renovating the courtyard, it wouldn't take that much money."

"You know what, I have many requirements, those money are the basics, your brother-in-law even said he would buy me a TV." Lin Zhao raised her chin slightly, very smug.

Song Yunjin widened his eyes, "Brother-in-law can get a ticket?"

"I don't know about this, but your brother-in-law said he would find a way, he has many comrades, if he asks around, he should be able to get it." Lin Zhao had great confidence in the man, since they married, every word he said hadn't fallen through, every word had a landing.

Song Yunjin raised his eyebrows, his tone full of admiration, "Brother-in-law is awesome!"

His dad had wanted to buy a TV for a long time, but couldn't get a ticket, and couldn't spend money even if he had it.

Lin Zhao glared at him, teasing: "If I remember correctly, you didn't look at your brother-in-law favorably before?"

Song Yunjin raised his hands over his head, "I was wrong."

He said listlessly: "I wasn't afraid brother-in-law wouldn't treat you well before, knowing brother-in-law treats you well, then I definitely have no malice. Sister, can this matter be turned over?"

Lin Zhao laughed, "Fine, let's not talk about it, eat meat jerky?"

Song Yunjin licked his lips, didn't stand on ceremony with his sister, laughed hee hee, "Then... take two?"

Lin Zhao took the meat jerky bag to him, "Take it yourself."

"Okay." Song Yunjin took two small ones, tasted the salty, spicy, and fragrant meat, and his eyes lit up, "Sister, this meat jerky is really delicious!"

Lin Zhao knew how to make meat jerky, and said: "If you like it, I'll make it for you when I have time."

"Sister, you even know how to make meat jerky?" Song Yunjin's face was full of surprise.

"Hmph hmph." Lin Zhao was very proud.

What couldn't she do? Not to mention anything else, in terms of making food, she was gifted.

The capital.

Yunjian ate breakfast and took a car to the place Chenghuai said.

The Meng family's affairs weren't a secret in the lamp factory family building, and almost without any effort, he found out about the Meng brothers' affairs.

"... Really two little pitiful things." Yunjian muttered to himself.

The old lady of the lamp factory was close to him, heard this, and nodded, "Who says not, when Meng doctor's two boys' own father was still there, they were the cleanest and most decent babies in our family building, everyone liked them. Not long after Meng doctor was taken away, the two children's own mother became confused!"

"Heard Yuan Qin's maternal family moved into the Meng house, those two boys were beaten up badly last night, the two children were full of injuries, their own uncle even said what, the two boys fell, pfft, lying to a fool, those injuries were clearly slapped by palms, as if everyone was blind."

The old lady couldn't help but sympathize with the Meng family's two boys.

"Meng doctor is a good person, what a pity."

She shook her head, "Used to see Yuan Qin speak softly, and was friendly with everyone, thought she was a good little wife."

"After Meng doctor was caught, we all wished we could destroy our own eyes, really misjudged her!"

"That's simply someone who isn't clear-headed, if this were my second daughter-in-law, I would have given her a few slaps, too infuriating!"

Pity the two children.

She saw this morning, Jingmo that child's face was red and swollen, his eyes gloomy and heavy, looking like he had changed into a different person.

Yunjian recorded them one by one, and asked the old lady about the places the two children might go, and left unhurried

The old woman didn't move for a while, watching the back of the respectable young man as he left, hoping he could help the two Meng children.

Dr. Meng is a good person, and those two children haven't done anything wrong either.
