Chapter 213: Share
"No," Song Yunjin shook his head, "The address doesn't look like it."
He smiled and asked Lin Zhao to guess.
Lin Zhao wouldn't guess and leaned over to look at the slip on the package.
"Oh, it's from Third Brother." Her tone was light, very happy.
Song Yunjin didn't giggle: "Sister, you're cheating."
"How old are you, still playing guessing games." Lin Zhao rolled her eyes at him, took the scissors, and opened the package.
Lin Shifan mailed quite a few things: a beautiful patterned blanket, large red dates, several bottles of honey, two pairs of small wool gloves, one pair slightly larger, a red scarf, fabric...
The things were very mixed, and one could tell the person who mailed them... mailed whatever they had.
"Mom, what's this?" Gu Hangbao touched the two pairs of small gloves and looked up at Lin Zhao.
In the village, once winter arrived, cotton clothes were worn by the whole family in turns. Who could afford gloves? Of course, the twins hadn't seen them.
Lin Zhao put them on him, a smile on her lips, "Gloves. You can wear them when it's cold. Your hands won't be cold when you wear them."
Gu Hangbao's eyes were bright, "This is good!"
"Of course it's good, these are wool, very warm," Lin Zhao said.
Xiang Yubao looked and found there were none for the younger brother and sister, and the smile on his face faded a little, "There aren't any for Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao."
He touched the soft gloves, suppressed his reluctance, and said sensibly: "Mom, can mine be made smaller for the younger brother and sister?"
Lin Zhao's heart softened, her eyes full of soft light.
"No need. I'll knit some for Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao, I won't let them go without. These were sent by your Third Uncle, he was afraid you'd be cold on the way to school."
Xiang Yubao felt relieved, touched the gloves, and smiled very happily.
"Mom, I want to write a letter to Third Uncle later, to tell him... I really like the gloves he sent."
Lin Zhao's lips curled slightly, "Alright."
Song Yunjin ruffled Xiang Yubao's hair, "Xiang Yubao is a good older brother, much better than Song Yuncheng!"
He took advantage of his brother's absence to complain secretly, "Song Yuncheng loves to fight with me for things, he's very bad, he doesn't have the look of an older brother at all."
"It's alright, your fountain pen was bought by Yuncheng," Lin Zhao reminded, "It cost him a third of his salary."
"Sister, you know?" Song Yunjin was surprised.
"Aunt told me," Lin Zhao pursed her lips and smiled, "If I hadn't known, I would have almost fallen for your trick."
"Hehe." Song Yunjin scratched his head, too embarrassed to look at her, and rubbed Xiang Yubao's face, "It's pretty good, but not as good as Xiang Yubao is to his younger brother and sister, right?"
He knew in his heart that his brother was pretty good to him and protected him very well. He wasn't eyeing his brother's wallet; he was just acting silly and messing around.
Xiang Yubao's little face changed shape, his beautiful black bright eyes fixed on his uncle, neither struggling nor speaking.
"Even you are protecting your Uncle Yuncheng." Yunjin pretended to be sad, making a gesture of holding his heart, looking like he had been hurt deeply, "Clearly I spend more time with you, four little ungrateful ones."
Xiang Yubao reminded, his expression serious, "Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao aren't here, they're so wronged."
Yunjin: "..."
"You stinky brat who protects the calf!" Yunjin pinched his face.
Xiang Yubao sighed lightly, looking at his uncle helplessly, not knowing what to do with him.
"Uncle, I'm not stinky, I take a bath and change clothes every day," the little boy emphasized in a soft voice.
"Stop messing with Xiang Yubao, hurry up and help me clean up," Lin Zhao relieved her son.
Yunjin let go of Xiang Yubao and rushed over to help.
"Sister, what do you need me to do?"
Lin Zhao ordered, "These dates are good, pack two jin for the eldest aunt, take a bottle of honey, take a blanket..."
Yunjin listened, his mouth twitching.
"Sister, you want to move everything over, right?! No need, let the four cubs use it, let the four cubs eat it. Send my mom a jin of red dates, and my mom will be very happy!" he said.
If sister brought so much, his parents would definitely beat him, saying he didn't know how to advise her, blah blah blah.
He couldn't afford to offend anyone.
Lin Zhao rolled her eyes at him, "It's not much, where is it much!"
"I left some for the four cubs, didn't you see?!" she pointed to the things set aside separately.
"But..." Yunjin still wanted to nag, but got a cold look from his sister.
"No buts!" Lin Zhao found him annoying and interrupted, "Stop nagging, hurry up and clean up."
Yunjin pinched his mouth shut and didn't make a sound.
"Pfft..." Lin Zhao was amused by his actions and said unhappily: "Stop acting silly, hurry up and clean up, while it's still early, go to your house."
She licked her lips, "I want to eat the sweet and sour pork made by Aunt."
Yunjin was also greedy, his eyes lit up, "Bring meat?"
"Bring it, if I don't bring it, how would I know if Uncle and Aunt bought meat!" Lin Zhao squinted at him, her eyes looking like she was looking at a silly dog.
Yunjin didn't mind at all and laughed happily.
"Sister, you're really generous."
Which niece sends meat to her uncle's house? Only his sister!
Who in the family quarters doesn't envy his parents for having such a capable and filial niece? His father's mouth was almost crooked from laughing.
It's just... being smug is one thing, but can they not be picky about him? He's still a student, even if he wants to be filial to his parents, he's powerless.
"Look at what you're saying, those are my own uncle and aunt, can I be stingy with them?" Lin Zhao raised her chin, her brows proud.
Xiang Yubao clumsily tied the cloth bag containing the red dates and praised his mother: "My mom isn't stingy! Everyone in the village says my mom is the most generous daughter-in-law."
Lin Zhao: Hmm? What people in the village say doesn't seem to be generous, but rather wide-fingered...
And, it wasn't meant as a compliment.
They said she didn't know how to live, relying on marrying a military officer husband, spending money like water; they also said, wait until the four cubs grow up, marrying wives and marrying off, then she'll have time to cry.
Lin Zhao didn't know why some people in the village had such a strong desire for her family's wallet, and she was too lazy to pay attention, continuing as she was.
Gu Hangbao heard his brother's words and also said: "Mom also sends meat to Grandpa and Grandma, she's the best daughter-in-law, and also the best mom."
He said it seriously, giving a thumbs up, his eyes very earnest.
Lin Zhao's brows curved.
Her sons really knew how to talk, their two little mouths could coax people into a daze.
"You are also my good sons," Lin Zhao also praised.
"Good sons, hurry up and clean up, if you delay any longer, your great-uncle and great-aunt's house will be done eating."
The two cubs became serious, like diligent little bees, packing the things to take to the Song family.
They returned to the room to put on their respective jackets and came out with their small satchels on their backs.
The weather was getting cold, and it would be cold if they didn't wear jackets now.
Lin Zhao led the two cubs in front, Yunjin carried the net bag full of things, and held a piece of meat in his right hand, following behind.
Catching sight of the passersby's gazes, he grinned and laughed, looking extremely smug.
It wasn't his fault for being smug. In an era where materials weren't abundant, half a jin of meat was considered a lot, and he had two jin in his hand. Who wouldn't take a few more looks?!!
Lin Zhao swept a glance at Yunjin's showing-off look, her feet stopped, and she almost fell on flat ground.
This kid really wasn't afraid of being beaten!
The twins supported her.
"Mom?" Xiang Yubao's brows were full of worry.
He thought a lot, thinking his mother was worried about the younger brother and sister, and said: "Mom, Grandma is watching Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao, they won't have any problems, don't worry."
Gu Hangbao looked at Lin Zhao, "Da Huang and Hu Po are there too, Mom, don't worry."
Lin Zhao: "..."
"Alright, I won't worry," Lin Zhao didn't explain, leading her two sons into the textile factory's family quarters.
Seeing them, the Song family neighbor who watched Lin Zhao grow up greeted them warmly.
"Zhaozhao is here."
Yunjin saw his sister walking fast, trotted to keep up, heard the neighbor's words, and said with a grin: "My Third Brother mailed some things, my sister insisted on sending them to my parents."
How could the neighbor not see him showing off? She cooperated very well, "Your Third Brother just left, and mailed things back again, he really has heart."
"Zhaozhao also has heart."
She looked toward the third floor, "You came back just in time, your uncle's house has guests, you should also take a look."
Take a look?
Lin Zhao's eyes were confused.
Suddenly a thought flashed through her mind.
"Did Yuncheng bring his girlfriend back?" she asked.
Yunjin widened his eyes.
"!!!"
What, what?!
How long had he not been back!
Does Song Yuncheng think he's a dead person? His girlfriend is visiting, and he didn't call him. Is he still his own younger brother? Ah ah ah?!!
Yunjin's heart was hurt completely, and he was also very angry, all of which showed on his face.
Along with it, he wasn't even that welcoming to the prospective sister-in-law he hadn't met yet!
"Yes," the neighbor said.
She saw Yuncheng bring a girl into the family quarters, it couldn't be anyone but his girlfriend.
Yunjin radiated gloom all over his body.
Good, good, good, he really forgot him!!!
Damn Song Yuncheng!
The resentment on his body was even felt by the neighbor.
She moved her gaze to Yunjin, seeing the meat in his hand, "Yunjin, did you buy meat? And you bought so much!"
Yunjin: "My sister bought it."
Then he didn't make a sound anymore.
He was really... hurt completely by his brother.
Lin Zhao glanced at him and added: "Craving the sweet and sour pork made by Aunt, specifically saved the meat coupons, and came as soon as I bought the meat."
It counted as an explanation.
The neighbor thought of the fragrance of the sweet and sour pork made by Song Aunt every time, swallowed her saliva secretly, and gave her approval as a neighbor, "Your Aunt really has a hand for making sweet and sour pork."
She laughed, "Today the floors above and below won't be able to eat again."
Why?
Because of the fragrance.
Children will make a fuss, making a fuss will lead to beatings, beatings will lead to howling, howling will lead to adults scolding loudly... the whole building will become lively.
Everyone was used to this.
Lin Zhao thought of that scene and couldn't help but smile.
Saying goodbye to the neighbor, they went upstairs.
The twins were energetic and climbed the stairs quickly, disappearing in a flash.
Almost at the third floor, Lin Zhao heard the voices of the two little brothers.
"Great-Aunt?!"
Song Aunt saw them, her face showing surprise, her tense face blooming with a smile, and she said warmly: "Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, how did you come? Your mother came too, right?"
As she spoke, she walked forward, then met Lin Zhao's smiling face.
"Aunt!"
Song Aunt looked very happy, "Zhaozhao is here."
Seeing her younger son carrying things, she scolded: "Bringing things back again, didn't I tell you, your uncle and I lack nothing."
"If you have extra money, buy more food for Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao, let them eat their fill, so they can grow into tall guys like Chenghuai!"
Before Lin Zhao could say anything, Xiang Yubao hurriedly said: "Aunt, my mom buys us food, we eat our fill every day."
Filial son, couldn't bear to hear anyone talk about his mother.
"Hmm hmm." Gu Hangbao's smile was as bright as a little sun, his tone proud, "My mom also ordered milk for us, I drink it every day!"
He gently climbed onto his great-aunt's arm, raised his little head, "Great-Aunt, look quickly, have I grown taller?"
The little boy tried hard to raise his little face, his eyes expectant, radiating light.
Xiang Yubao and his younger brother had the same expression.
Facing two identical cute little faces, Song Aunt only felt that the terrible mood just now was easing.
"Taller, taller." She gestured with her hands, "Keep drinking, you'll grow faster."
Milk is very nutritious, very expensive, and hard to order.
"Hmm!"
The two cubs responded forcefully.
Yunjin's eyes glanced toward his own house, his mood not so spirited, looking listless.
"Mom, did my brother's girlfriend visit?"
Song Aunt was too lazy to mention it.
With just one glance, Yunjin captured his own mother's bad mood.
He stepped forward cautiously, weighing his words, and lowered his voice, "What's wrong? That person isn't good?!"
Besides this, he couldn't figure out why his mother was so unhappy.
Song Aunt didn't evaluate, only said: "Let's go home."
Lin Zhao and Yunjin looked at each other, seeing curiosity in each other's eyes.
What's the situation...?
Seeing Aunt didn't even want to mention it, Lin Zhao didn't ask further, holding her arm and walking toward the Song family.
Before they even entered the room, they heard a dissatisfied female voice.
"Song Yuncheng, what's wrong with your parents? It's my first time visiting, and this is how they treat me?"
"I've been sitting on this cold sofa for half a day, no one cares about me. Your family looks down on me, and you don't even manage it!!"
The words were full of unhappiness. Before even entering the door, she wanted to blow wind in the man's ear.
Song Aunt inhaled.
She really wanted to beat Song Yuncheng to death!
What kind of girlfriend is he dating? Blind dog thing!!
She scolded harshly in her heart, not even wanting to enter her own house, listening with a cold face, wanting to see what her son's reaction was.
Song Yuncheng was about to break in and beat someone, but Lin Zhao grabbed his arm and shook her head at him.
... Don't be anxious, see Yuncheng's attitude first.
If he's a love-struck fool, then beat him.
Inside the room.
Song Yuncheng looked at his girlfriend with unfamiliar eyes, his voice tinged with an imperceptible coldness.
"You didn't even bring a hair when you came. Do you look down on my family?" he asked coldly.
When dating before, she wasn't like this. Only when they started talking about marriage did Song Yuncheng realize he almost didn't recognize the person beside him!
Disappointment appeared in Qiao Lu's eyes, as if the bad person was Song Yuncheng.
She said aggrievedly: "You know very well that the salary hasn't been issued this month, I don't have money in my hand."
Song Yuncheng: "???"
"So I didn't force you to visit now. I said... come visit my house at the beginning of next month."
Guilt flashed in Qiao Lu's eyes. She didn't act tough anymore, her voice softened, acting spoiled: "I was in a hurry."
She muttered, "You were the one who said your parents wouldn't mind, they would definitely like me. I thought it didn't matter whether I brought anything or not."
Song Yuncheng pulled back his arm, speechless.
He took a long breath, rolled his eyes, "Can't you understand polite words!"
"You're such a big person, you should know basic etiquette. Even if you don't know, don't your parents know? I didn't bring less when I went to your house. You came to my house empty-handed, how are you embarrassed?!"
Thinking of how Qiao Lu started pointing fingers as soon as she entered his house, even denying the existence of his younger brother, he felt like vomiting.
And this was just the beginning!!
"This house belongs to me and Yunjin. Your concept of the eldest son inheriting the property doesn't apply in my house. We aren't suitable, let's break up!" Song Yuncheng said expressionlessly.
Qiao Lu felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, asking incredibly: "You want to break up with me?"
"... Break up!" Song Yuncheng was very determined.
He felt the Qiao family wasn't particular and treated him like a fool. After observing for half a day, he found Qiao Lu's thinking was seriously problematic. If they didn't break up, his family would fall apart sooner or later.
Break up.
Must break up.
Qiao Lu bounced up abruptly, her delicate little face full of anger, her tone high, "You want to break up with me? You actually want to break up with me!"
"Yes, I don't want to talk anymore, break up," Song Yuncheng emphasized again.
As the flower of the electrical machinery factory, Qiao Lu had many pursuers and was very proud.
Hearing his words without half a turn of room, she beat him several times, angrily left a sentence, "Break up then, as if I care about you. You treated me like this, even if you beg at my door, I won't forgive you!"
After speaking, she opened the door and rushed out.
Almost hitting the twins.
Lin Zhao grabbed her son's clothes and pulled them back, avoiding the collision.
She looked dissatisfied, "Don't you have eyes to see the road? Can you afford to pay if you hit a child." ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
