Chapter 151: Ride the Wind and You Can Fly

Meng Jingmo said sensibly: "I listen to Big Uncle and Aunt's arrangements."

Lin Shichang rubbed his oily head, turned around, picked up Meng Guangbai, and put him on his neck to ride a big horse.

Little Bai was a bit scared, his little body stiffened, but seeing his brother smile at him, he wasn't so nervous anymore. He hugged Big Uncle's head, looking around, and not long after, his mouth split open, revealing a sweet smile.

Dad also let him ride a big horse before!

The state-run restaurant was about to close, and there was nothing left to eat inside. Lin Zhao and the others just padded their stomachs a bit and went to the Harvest Brigade.

Lin Zhao was used to riding a bicycle, but after walking only two miles, she felt her legs were sore. Feeling sorry for her Big Brother's hard work at work, she said: "Big Brother, should our family buy a bicycle? It's too hard for you to walk back and forth to work. It's fine now that it's hot, but what about when it gets cold?"

"I do have that plan." Lin Shichang's heart warmed: "I'm looking for a bicycle ticket, I'll buy it once I get the ticket."

Gu Chenghuai took the initiative: "When I return to the unit, I'll ask around; if there is one, I'll mail it back."

Lin Shichang didn't want to take advantage of his brother-in-law and said directly: "I'll spend money to buy it. If you don't want money, then I won't take it."

Biological brothers settle accounts clearly; exchanging a bicycle costs favors, and he couldn't take it for free.

Gu Chenghuai knew his brother-in-law's personality, and helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Listen to Big Brother, just give it to Zhaozhao."

"Done." Lin Shichang smiled and agreed.

He wouldn't let his biological sister suffer a loss.

If it were before, he wouldn't have had this confidence, but now, his confidence was full.

"Big Brother, are you used to work?" Lin Zhao asked casually.

"Used to it. What's there not to be used to? It's much easier than working in the fields." Lin Shichang felt it was no wonder everyone wanted to be a worker; it was truly good. Not to mention the salary, they also issued tickets, there were other holiday gifts during festivals, there were holidays every month, and there was overtime pay. Unlike farmers, who worked all year round, couldn't earn much money, and couldn't even fill their stomachs.

The Lin family's conditions were considered good, but they didn't live that comfortably.

Many things couldn't be taken out.

"If there is a chance, learn some skills." Lin Zhao suggested.

Working in the warehouse is not bad right now, but there is not much room for promotion. Learning skills is different; no matter what happens in the future, you can find a rice bowl.

Lin Shichang understood in his heart: "I know. Don't worry, I went to see Uncle this morning and asked Uncle for a few books, planning to learn more."

"Before, there was no chance, but now that the chance is in front of me, if I don't make progress, then I am truly mud that can't be supported on the wall."

He looked at Lin Zhao: "Don't worry, sister, Big Brother won't waste the opportunity you gave."

Lin Zhao didn't talk nonsense: "As long as Big Brother has a count, I said too much."

See, she is indeed her Big Brother.

Just missing an opportunity.

Ride the wind and you can fly.

Lin Shichang patted Zhaozhao's hair: "Not too much. Brother knows your heart."

He was truly ashamed! He was the eldest in the family and should have set a good example for his younger brothers and sisters, but he still had to rely on his sister to enter the city!

Lin Zhao knew nothing about her Big Brother's thoughts; if she knew, she would definitely laugh at him for thinking too much.

To get a job, you have to consider all aspects, such as being well-informed, and having chips that the person selling the job wants. Of course, the most important thing is... you have to have luck!

While talking and laughing, they returned to the Harvest Brigade.

At this time, the sky had already darkened.

There was no one at the entrance of the village.

Walking into the village, they didn't meet anyone either. Passing by a few households, the sound of women scolding children was very loud.

The boy-girl twins were hanging on Gu Chenghuai, fast asleep.

Gu Chenghuai sent the two little ones back to the room, not forgetting to wet a towel, wipe their bodies, and change their clothes.

He had just walked out of the room when he saw Gu Mu coming out of the main room, the old mother full of joy: "Third, you're back. Was the journey smooth? Where are your wife and the four cubs?"

Not seeing the four grandsons and granddaughters, she was worried.

She hadn't slept well for these few days.

She wanted to go into the third room to see, but knew the third daughter-in-law didn't like others entering her room, so she didn't go in.

Gu Chenghuai replied: "Very smooth, Qian Bao and Yao Bao are asleep. Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao went to find Li Bao, and Zhaozhao is outside talking to my brother-in-law, she'll be back in a while."

"Zhaozhao's Big Brother is here?" Gu Mu was stunned for a moment, glanced at her son: "Why didn't you invite him in."

"..."

Gu Chenghuai was silent for a moment: "Mother, rest, I'll go take a look."

Later, he would tell his father and mother about the Meng family's affairs. When he returned to the unit, Zhaozhao would have to work, and the brigade needed someone to take care of Meng Jiusi. His father and mother had quite a bit of prestige in the brigade, so entrusting them was just right.

As for the others, don't say anything yet.

Gu Mu snorted and turned to look at Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao.

Before she even entered the first room, she heard two exclamations.

"What is this?!! A little monkey!! Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, where did this come from?" Iron Egg (Gu Zhixing)'s excited voice was drifting.

"Wow...!" Little Li Bao made a soft wow sound, his voice soft: "Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, is this your new partner?"

"Yes!" Gu Hangbao answered loudly, touching the little golden monkey's tail, his movements so gentle, completely unlike his usual boisterous self.

Xiang Yubao said: "It's a new member of our Gu family! Just like Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po."

The family had two loyal dogs. Gu Chenghuai had trained them according to military training for military dogs, and now they were getting smarter and smarter, knowing that their master didn't let them into the room, so they guarded the door.

At this moment, they heard their little master calling their names.

Xiao Xiao Hu Po stretched out its front paws, lifted the bamboo curtain, entered the room, stood at the door, tilted its head to look at Xiang Yubao, and barked a few times milkily.

Little Master, why are you calling Wang Wang?

Huang Xiulan was mending clothes on the side, saw the little dog at the door, and smiled: "This dog is truly smart."

Gu Hangbao was full of pride: "My dad trained it, my dad is so amazing."

Behind Gu Chenghuai's back, his little mouth was very sweet. If his father were here, he would love to go against people; this was a little boy who was mouth-disobedient but heart-obedient.

"Yes, yes, yes, your dad is the most amazing." Gu Mu was full of smiles. She sized up the two grandsons, seeing the twins' little faces were red and full of vitality, she knew they had a great time on this trip, but still asked: "Two treasures, tell Grandma quickly, where did you go?"

Before her grandson could speak, her tone was filled with emotion: "I've lived a long life and haven't even walked out of our commune, I didn't expect you two to be so young and have even been to the provincial capital!"

Xiang Yubao said sensibly: "When I grow up, I'll take Grandma to the provincial capital, to the capital, to see the Great Wall, watch the flag-raising..."

These were all cakes Lin Zhao had drawn for him, and he drew them for Gu Mu again.

Gu Mu was moved, hugged Xiang Yubao, and called him her heart and liver.

"Oh, Grandma's filial grandson, Grandma is waiting for you to take me. If I can go to the provincial capital, to the capital, this life of mine will be worth it."

Gu Hangbao also wanted to show his performance, threw himself into Gu Mu's arms, waved his little short arms: "Grandma, when I grow up, I'll buy a big car, and then take everyone in our family to play. Wherever you want to go, we'll go."

"Grandma's obedient one..." Gu Mu's crisp voice even pinched up.

Next, the twins talked about what they saw and heard in the provincial capital one by one.

Here it was harmonious, but at the foot of the mountain, Meng Jiusi saw his two sons.

Seeming not to expect it, seeing Jingmo and Guangbai, he froze in place, bitterness appearing on his face.

Another dream...?

The thought had just arisen.

"Dad!" Little Jingmo ran over quickly, hugged his father's waist fiercely, tears falling drop by drop, his voice full of grievance: "Dad, I finally found you, you can't leave us again in the future!"

Meng Jiusi looked down blankly, touched his son's head, it was warm, his hair pricked his hand, it was... his Jingmo.

"Mumu?"

Jingmo nodded in his father's arms, his arms hugging Meng Jiusi tightly, tears like an opened faucet, and in a short while his eye sockets were red and his eyelids were swollen.

"It's me, I came to find you wuwu!"

Meng Jiusi's current appearance couldn't compare to his glamorous look in the capital. Four-year-old Little Bai stared at him several times, confirmed this was Dad, first burst out a loud cry, and ran wildly toward him staggeringly.

"Dad..."

Meng Jiusi took a few steps forward, picked up his younger son, and hugged him together with his older son into his arms.

One question after another was thrown out.

"How did you come?"

"How have you been these days?"

"Why do I feel you've lost so much weight? Didn't you eat? Didn't I leave money and tickets?"

"What's going on with the injury on Mumu's face? Who hit you?"

Listening to his father's words, Little Bai hugged Meng Jiusi's neck, as if looking for a safe harbor, but he couldn't stop complaining.

"Brother and I had no food to eat, Grandmother and Uncle... and Brother Jin Bao, they hit brother and me, Mom didn't care."

The child's voice was soft, and every sentence carried endless grievances.

"Brother Jin Bao occupied brother and my room, he didn't let brother and me sleep on the bed, and didn't let us eat, threw the steamed buns on the ground, and made brother and me pick them up..."

These were all things he had just experienced, and Little Guangbai remembered them very clearly. He had been thinking about complaining to his father all the way, and now he spoke very smoothly.

Listening to these sentences, Meng Jiusi's face was cold, his whole body trembling with anger, his teeth colliding with each other, making a creaking sound.

Obviously.

He was extremely angry.

Yuan family!

Yuan, family, family!!!

Meng Jiusi's eyes were bloodshot, hating it to no end.

Because he was someone whose parents were unknown, after marrying a girl from a big city, he never treated the Yuan family poorly, and every year he sent generous holiday gifts, just hoping... in case something happened to him, the Yuan family could look at the fact that he was a good son-in-law and give his two sons a bite to eat. He didn't expect that, how long had he been gone, and the Yuan family would treat Mumu and Little Bai like this!

Is this still family?

Meng Jiusi's heart was cold.

His eyes were full of heartache: "Dad let you suffer."

Little Jingmo sniffed, his expression stubborn: "As long as I'm with Dad, even eating wild vegetables isn't bitter."

The child was raised by Meng Jiusi, and he knew Mumu was speaking from the heart.

He lowered his head and rubbed his son's hair, ignoring the musty smell of the child's head, and said with gratification: "It's hard for Mumu to take care of his younger brother, you are Dad's pride."

Meng Jiusi never received fatherly love since he was young, and in the process of raising his sons, he gave them everything he lacked.

Little Jingmo handed the broken, patched parcel he was holding in his arms to Meng Jiusi.

He said seriously: "Dad, this is the money I brought, and the ancestral needles Great-Grandfather handed to me, all for you."

Meng Jiusi took it with surprise.

Opened the parcel.

First looked at the set of acupuncture needles.

His expression softened slightly, and he smiled: "I didn't expect you to actually keep them, Great-Grandfather will definitely be happy."

His gaze shifted, and he saw the money.

Besides money, there was nothing else.

"You carried so much money with you!" Meng Jiusi was terrified, his face pale: "You are only this big, this is too dangerous!"

Little Jingmo pulled the clothes he and his brother were wearing: "Dad, brother and I look like little beggars, I put the money in a broken cloth bag, no one paid attention to me along the way."

"That's because you are still young, no one could think you were carrying so much money. If someone knew, you would be in danger!" Meng Jiusi wasn't comforted, his heart beating thumping, just thinking about his two sons being targeted by bad people, his heart couldn't calm down.

Little Jingmo was bold and careful; he had thought about everything his father was worried about.

"I know, it's because I'm small and dressed in rags that I dared to bring money out." He stood on tiptoe to help his father smooth his chest, and comforted him seriously: "Dad told me so many stories, I know them all."

Meng Jiusi sighed: "You, you, it's lucky nothing happened, otherwise what would I do."

Hearing the father and son's conversation, Lin Zhao and her Big Brother looked at each other; neither of the siblings expected that the broken parcel was full of money.

Lin Zhao smiled, her eyes full of appreciation: "Mumu is truly bold, but it was indeed unexpected, I didn't see the problem either."

Along the way, he was so calm; who could have thought that a child dressed in rags was holding "gold bricks" in his arms?

Truly a clever ghost.

Meng Jiusi finished talking to his two sons and walked toward Lin Zhao: "Zhaozhao, thank you."

"Fourth Brother, you are my biological Fourth Brother, what polite words are you saying? We are one family, one family doesn't speak two families' words." Lin Zhao's face was full of disapproval.

"Good, I won't say it." Meng Jiusi's brows were filled with a clear smile.

Took out the ancestral acupuncture needles.

Stuffed the broken cloth bag full of money into Lin Zhao's hand.

"You take this money."

Lin Zhao was stunned and hurriedly wanted to return it: "What do I want this money for..."

Meng Jiusi pressed her hand, interrupted Lin Zhao's words, and used her own words to block her mouth: "One family doesn't speak two families' words."

Lin Zhao: "..."

"Zhaozhao, my current situation..." Meng Jiusi paused slightly, the unspoken words were all in the unspoken.

"I have no use for money, keeping it is a disaster, maybe one day it will be searched away, it's better to give it to you. You gave me so many things, I can't repay even one or two, I feel uneasy in my heart. You keep half of this money, and give the other half to Dad and Mom for me, just say it's my filial piety as a son, please ask them to accept it."

Little Jingmo saw this scene and didn't speak.

The money was Dad's, Dad could give it to whoever he wanted.

Giving it to Aunt was better than giving it to the Yuan family!

No, no, the Yuan family didn't deserve to be compared with his Aunt!

Seeing Lin Zhao still wanted to say something, Meng Jiusi's expression was serious: "If you don't accept it, it means you don't sincerely recognize me as your Fourth Brother."

Words had reached this point, what else could Lin Zhao say.

She didn't dislike it either, and tucked the dirty and old cloth bag under her arm.

Her voice was crisp: "I accept!"

Lin Zhao's eyes were clean and bright, and she smiled lightly: "So much money, I'd be a fool not to accept it."

"I made a big profit on this trip, not to mention seeing the world, I also got so much money for nothing, who has better luck than me."

Meng Jiusi also smiled: "As long as you like it."

Lin Zhao's brows softened: "To Dad and Mom, Fourth Brother calling them Dad and Mom early is more precious than giving money."

Meng Jiusi showed helplessness; he had called them Dad and Mom countless times in his heart, it was just... just not used to it yet.

Next time Dad and Mom come, he would definitely be able to call them out.

Lin Zhao saw something and didn't bring up this matter again, casually changing the subject.

"Fourth Brother, how do you plan to arrange Mumu and Little Bai?" ===== CHAPTER 152 =====
