Chapter 150: Finally Meeting

Xiang Yunjian squinted at Meng Jingmo, his tone carrying a bit of cynical teasing: "Know fear now?"

"... I'm not afraid." Meng Jingmo was stubborn: "I'm worried about my father."

Xiang Yunjian scoffed: "A little guy who can only float his mouth when he falls into the water."

"What does this mean?" Little Bai's eyes were blank.

Xiang Yunjian smiled: "Saying your brother is stubborn."

"My brother's mouth is not stubborn." Little Meng Guangbai's voice was a little louder: "My brother is the best brother; his mouth is the softest."

Meng Jingmo: "..."

He looked at his younger brother's pouting back of the head and sighed. Little Bai was silly; what would he do without him?

However, after this interruption, the unease and hesitation in his heart dissipated by more than half.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The train whistle blew.

They had arrived.

After getting off the train, the Meng brothers pretended to be calm, but in reality, they followed Xiang Yunjian's side blankly, not missing a step.

Not long after.

They saw a family, and... a cute little monkey.

This family is so big—this was the Meng brothers' first impression.

Xiang Yunjian saw Gu Chenghuai, his eyes lit up, he took a big stride forward, hugged him, patted his back heavily a few times, his voice clear and filled with joy: "Chenghuai, long time no see."

Gu Chenghuai also patted him and smiled: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."

Xiang Yunjian let go of him: "Next time, I asked for leave temporarily, I have to hurry back, the return ticket is already bought, I have to go in a while."

The purpose of this trip was for official business, and meeting a good friend was just by the way.

"These are your four children, right?" He sized up the four cubs one by one, then looked at Lin Zhao, clenched his hand into a fist, hammered it on Gu Chenghuai's shoulder, and said with much emotion: "Good fortune."

Gu Chenghuai didn't commit, his eyes filled with a smile.

Xiang Yunjian took out four red envelopes and gave them to the four Gu cubs in turn.

"Take it, a meeting gift from your brother."

Thanks to being prepared, Xiang Yunjian felt he was truly a Zhuge Liang.

The four cubs didn't take them, but looked at their father. Only after Gu Chenghuai nodded did they accept them.

"Thank you..." Just as they were about to thank him, they struggled with how to address him. Xiang Yubao looked at Xiang Yunjian, thought for a moment, and still called him Uncle: "Thank you, Uncle."

Gu Hangbao and the others followed their older brother.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Xiang Yunjian: "..."

"I'm not married yet, you have to call me Brother." He insisted.

Xiang Yubao lifted his eyes, looked at the strange uncle strangely, and also insisted: "Uncle."

Gu Hangbao listened to his brother and said with a grin: "Uncle."

The boy-girl twins also called him Uncle.

Xiang Yunjian pinched his brow; these "Uncles" gave him a headache.

Chenghuai's four cubs are truly not easy to fool.

He looked at Gu Chenghuai: "What are your plans next? When are you going back?"

Gu Chenghuai didn't answer, but looked at Lin Zhao: "Do you want to go anywhere else to see?"

Xiang Yunjian only felt a toothache.

He didn't expect that his comrade-in-arms, who never smiled, would be... this style in front of his wife.

"No." Lin Zhao shook her head.

She had bought everything she wanted to buy, and with so many children, it wasn't good to delay any longer; it was better to go back early.

Gu Chenghuai had no objections and said to Xiang Yunjian: "No need to entertain you, we'll go back directly."

It was rare for Xiang Yunjian to see his old comrade, and there were many people's recent situations he wanted to ask about. He lifted his wrist to look at his watch; there was still time, so he said: "I still have some time, I'll see you off to the train before I go."

"Thanks." Gu Chenghuai knew his comrade was worried because he was bringing several children.

Although it wasn't that necessary, he wouldn't refuse his comrade's kindness.

Gu Chenghuai went to buy a few train tickets and looked at the departure time; it would depart in forty-something minutes, so time was still quite ample.

After properly arranging Lin Zhao and the children, he and Xiang Yunjian went to the guesthouse to pick up their luggage.

Once the two left, in a certain lounge at the train station, only Lin Zhao and the six children remained.

"You are Jingmo, you are Guangbai?" Lin Zhao pointed at Meng Jingmo, then pointed at Meng Guangbai.

Little Bai's eyes widened, seeming a bit surprised, his speech soft and glutinous: "How do you know my and my brother's names?"

These two Meng children had many characteristics of the Lin family, especially their eyebrows and eyes. After all, they were children raised in the city, and their temperament looked well-bred and gentle.

"Guess." Lin Zhao teased her nephew.

Little Bai smiled shyly: "Did my father say it? Auntie, can you take me and my brother to where my father is?"

Auntie?

Lin Zhao smiled and shook her head: "I am your biological aunt; your father is my biological brother. You should call me Aunt."

"?"

Hearing this.

Little Meng Bai's little face was confused.

Meng Jingmo's expression was sluggish.

Biological... aunt?

On an ordinary afternoon, little Jingmo was smashed dizzy by this news, his brain in chaos. This situation lasted until the two who went to get the luggage returned.

When Gu Chenghuai and Xiang Yunjian returned, both were smiling, and the faint strangeness from when they first met had completely disappeared.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Sister-in-law." Xiang Yunjian said embarrassedly.

Lin Zhao didn't mind: "You haven't seen each other for a long time, talk more."

Xiang Yunjian smiled: "Sister-in-law is truly understanding, Chenghuai has good fortune."

Lin Zhao smiled reservedly.

While talking, Xiang Yunjian saw his comrade's family onto the train and only stopped after seeing them to the carriage.

"Zhaozhao, you stay in the carriage first, I'll see Xiang Yunjian off the train and come back in a while." Gu Chenghuai said to Lin Zhao. Seeing his wife nod, he said to the twins: "Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, watch your younger brother and sister, don't let them go out."

"Mm." Xiang Yubao responded seriously.

Gu Chenghuai and Xiang Yunjian left, talking just outside the carriage where Lin Zhao and the cubs were. Opening the window, one could see the two people standing out from the crowd.

Meng Jingmo and his younger brother sat on the lower bunk, their gazes following Lin Zhao, moving to the four cubs, and then falling on that little golden monkey, their gazes dazed.

Is this really his aunt?

His father, has family?!

Later, little Jingmo wrote a short essay in his diary.

【I was forced to grow up at the age of six. The father who loved me the most suddenly lost his little west, Mom let the laolao family move into my house, ba occupied our recipe, and at that time I knew that my brother and I had no home.

I da promised Dad to take good zhaogu of my brother. I zhi dao if we stayed in that house, we would be seven fu to death, so I took my brother tao out of the house and lived in a po factory building.

Just as I thought, the first night, the person I called Mom didn't come to find us. It was clearly the zui hottest time of the year, but this night I felt very cold. I knew I could no longer treat her as the zui closest person.

That day, someone came to find me and my brother. At first glance, I thought he looked like a jie tou hun hun. He said he would treat me and my brother to a meal. I asked to see his work ID, he agreed, it turned out he jing was...

After that, that person dai me and my brother li leave the capital. Along the way, I was very tante, I didn't know what was deng dai me and Little Bai.

After getting off the train, I saw many people, there was Dad, there was Mom, and... four little friends, and a very small and cute little hou...

After getting on the train to see Dad, I finally came to my senses. This big qun of people in front of me can neng really is my aunt's family. (Because of our family's qing situation, no one would take the initiative to recognize relatives.)

I actually have an aunt????】

The young child didn't know many characters, half were Chinese characters, half were pinyin, and there were many typos.

When Gu Chenghuai got on the train, Lin Zhao saw her nephew was still dazed, not saying a word, and was a bit worried.

She poked the man sitting beside her and asked in a low voice: "Is our new nephew okay?"

Don't scare the child into something bad.

If that really happened, how would she explain it to her Fourth Brother?

"It's fine." Gu Chenghuai's expression was steady: "Fourth Brother was dazed when he first learned of our existence, let alone a child. They'll be fine once they react."

Lin Zhao nodded.

As Gu Chenghuai said, not long after the train started, Meng Jingmo finally came to his senses.

"You are our aunt? Biological aunt?" Meng Jingmo looked at Lin Zhao, wanting to see some traces of her lying on her face.

"Yes, if you still don't believe it... wait until you see your father, you can ask him yourselves." Lin Zhao didn't look for ways to prove it anymore.

Meng Jingmo wanted to know his father's news, dissipated the vigilance in his eyes, and asked: "Is my father okay?"

"Very good, he's with your grandfather." Lin Zhao said.

Meng Jingmo's eyes widened, his face full of surprise: "My grandfather is also there??"

Only at this moment did Lin Zhao see the appearance a six-year-old child should have on him.

She smiled with gratification: "Yes, your grandfather is also very good."

Meng Jingmo was overjoyed.

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao understood their mother's words. These two children they hadn't seen before, like Big Egg and the others, were also their brothers.

The kind that flowed with the same blood.

"Mom, why haven't I seen them before?" Gu Hangbao, who had a mouth, asked.

"Because your Fourth Uncle, that is, Mumu and Little Bai's father, he was stolen when he wasn't even as big as Yao Bao. Your grandmother and grandfather searched for a long time and didn't find him. Not just you, I hadn't seen them before either." Lin Zhao explained.

"Huh?" Gu Hangbao made a strange sound: "We have a Fourth Uncle? Who is it?!!"

Xiang Yubao also looked at his mother in doubt.

Lin Zhao knew the twins' mouths were tight and they never told outsiders about family matters, so she lowered her voice: "Remember the time you two drew pictures on your ears?"

The two children smiled embarrassedly.

Gu Hangbao hugged Lin Zhao's arm, shook it, his tone wavy: "Mom~~"

Don't mention the child's embarrassing things.

Lin Zhao smiled: "At the foot of the mountain, the person with a small leaf birthmark behind their ear is your Fourth Uncle."

"He is Mom's brother?" Xiang Yubao's brain reacted quickly.

"Yes." Lin Zhao nodded.

Her expression was serious, and she said solemnly: "This matter must be kept secret. You cannot let people know your Fourth Uncle is your Fourth Uncle, otherwise everything in our family will be taken away, and our whole family will be bullied. Do you remember?"

After saying this, she said to Meng Jingmo: "I have to take care of you in secret; it's more beneficial if the relationship isn't exposed."

Meng Jingmo understood: "I know."

Xiang Yubao nodded seriously, responding to his mother's words: "Mom, I remember, I will watch Gu Hangbao... and my younger brother and sister."

The boy-girl twins were not even two years old and couldn't speak clearly, so there was no need to worry.

Only Gu Hangbao, whose mouth was fast, needed special care.

However.

Mom said not to tell outsiders, and he could remember that.

"I won't tell either." Gu Hangbao proved himself loudly: "My mouth is very tight!"

"Mom believes you." Lin Zhao put a high hat on her son and coaxed: "Besides your father, our family has to rely on you two."

The two boys ran around the village all day and got along well with the children in the village. She also wanted to let the little brothers be her "eyes." Telling them that Meng Jiusi was Fourth Brother... the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

And even if they told others, no one would believe it.

Hearing his mother's words, the twins puffed out their chests and raised their heads, a sense of responsibility spontaneously arising.

Gu Hangbao was a little social butterfly and could chat with old men. He pulled Guangbai, who was younger than him, to talk: "Bai Bai, my mom is your biological aunt, I am older than you, you have to call me brother, you know? I am Gu Zhiheng, you have to call me Brother Heng, call me once and let me hear."

Little Bai was protected well by his brother and didn't have defenses against anyone, so he obediently called: "Brother Heng."

Jingmo: "..."

Gu Hangbao smiled happily, patted his new younger brother's shoulder, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Brother Heng will protect you. Brother has a call and a response in the brigade; with me here, no one dares to bully you."

Lin Zhao listened to him bragging, just smiled, and didn't expose him.

It wasn't exactly bragging; Gu Hangbao did have a call and a response.

With the little golden monkey, the boy-girl twins were easier to manage. The three little ones could play with their hands together for a whole day.

At this moment, they were lying on the lower bunk, giggling.

It was so cute it almost melted people's hearts.

Little Bai gnawed on the back of his hand, hesitated for a long time, and politely consulted Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao's meaning: "Can I play with Monkey Brother?"

"Sure." Xiang Yubao said generously: "We are one family, no need to be outsiders. I am not an outsider with my Big Aunt."

One family... Little Bai looked at him, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Then why did Grandmother and Uncle hit me and my brother?"

Lin Zhao's smiling eyes flashed with coldness, but her voice was gentle: "The Yuan family even hit you?"

She thought the Yuan family would at most not give the two nephews food to eat; she didn't expect they would dare to hit people!

"Hit." Little Bai thought of the scene where his brother and he were hit, his little body trembling with fear: "Grandmother hit brother's face, and pinched us. Brother Jin Bao made us pick up the steamed buns on the ground to eat, I was so scared, wuwuwu."

Lin Zhao saw her nephew crying with his shoulders shaking, feeling heartbroken, hugged Little Bai, and patted his back gently.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your brother took you out, with Aunt here, no one will dare to hit you in the future."

Damn Yuan family!

When she goes to the capital, that family is dead!

Little Bai nestled in Lin Zhao's arms, thought of his mother, felt even sadder in his heart, remembered his brother's words, just wuwuwu shed tears, and didn't say anything.

Jingmo's eyes were also red. He turned his face to the window and sniffed.

After finishing the train, they got on the bus again.

Returning to the place, Lin Zhao thought to herself, she could never take so many children out again; it was truly exhausting.

"Zhaozhao!"

Lin Zhao looked at the sound and saw Lin Shichang: "Big Brother! Why is Big Brother here?"

Gu Chenghuai explained: "I sent a telegram."

There were many children, the county was far from the brigade, and besides, how to arrange Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai next, it wouldn't be good if the Lin family didn't know.

Lin Shichang ran over, his gaze landing on the Meng brothers and pausing slightly. Are these Fourth's two sons, his two nephews?

Fearing the two children would be uncomfortable, he shifted his gaze away casually.

"Back, was the journey smooth?" He said a nonsense sentence.

Just as they were talking, Xiang Yubao bounced in front of him with the little golden monkey on his head.

"Big Uncle, look at me!" The child shook his head and wagged his tail, showing off his new partner.

Lin Shichang was stunned: "This is... a little golden monkey?"

"Where did you get it?"

Gu Chenghuai spoke: "From the provincial capital circus, it fell into our hands by mistake."

Lin Shichang: "The four cubs must be happy to death."

Responding to him were four happy smiling faces.

The group walked toward the state-run restaurant, and Lin Zhao introduced Lin Shichang to the Meng brothers.

"Mumu, Little Bai, this is your father's Big Brother, that is, your Big Uncle."

Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai obediently called out: "Big Uncle."

Lin Shichang gave the two nephews red envelopes and said: "Let's go eat first, after eating I'll send you back to the Harvest Brigade." ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
