Chapter 222: No humanity

Because they were looking forward to returning to the Harvest Brigade, the twins didn't eat very well, their souls were floating, while Li Bao and the twins ate deliciously.

After eating, Lin Zhao didn't say to go back, first took the three treasures (Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, Li Bao) to get a haircut.

As soon as they arrived at the barbershop, Gu Hangbao didn't treat the barber as an outsider and said: "Comrade, I want a crew cut! Give me a crew cut!"

Xiang Yubao was afraid of being left behind, hurriedly followed: "I want a crew cut too!"

Li Bao scratched his head, "I'm the same as Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao!"

For children of their age, very few made requests themselves, they were all pushed over by their parents, and the adults decided how to cut it.

Coming in and making requests, and the goal being so clear, it was indeed the first time the barber had seen it.

"What you say is useless, your parents have to speak."

He looked at Lin Zhao, not sure who this was to the three cubs, looking like a sister.

Lin Zhao nodded slightly, "Listen to them."

The parents were willing, the barber had no opinion, and looked at the three little brothers, "Who's first?"

Gu Hangbao and Li Bao looked at Xiang Yubao at the same time.

Xiang Yubao stepped forward, "Me first."

He was used to it, rushing to the front for everything.

The barber patted the back of the stool, "Sit!"

Xiang Yubao jumped up, sat upright, his neck was wrapped in a large piece of oilcloth, and he didn't move at all.

The child was obedient, so the barber's work was easy.

Two minutes per head.

Three heads in less than ten minutes.

Lin Zhao took the children away from the barbershop, looked at the three little braised eggs, and asked with a smile: "Are your heads cold?"

"A little, hehe." Gu Hangbao touched his head, it was prickly, couldn't help but touch it a few more times.

Xiang Yubao said: "We can wear hats."

Li Bao didn't have a hat, and he didn't say anything, doing the same action as Gu Hangbao, smiling foolishly.

Lin Zhao's heart softened, "Li Bao has a hat too, the same as Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao's."

"Eh?" Xiang Yubao's eyebrows curved, "Mom, did you buy one for Li Bao?!"

"Yes, bought an extra one." Lin Zhao greeted the children to walk along the sides of the road.

Li Bao looked at Third Aunt, his eyes wet.

Xiang Yubao clapped his hands happily, "Great! Tomorrow we can wear the same hats!"

There was an excitement that didn't care about the lives of others.

"Thank you, Third Aunt." Li Bao held Lin Zhao's hand and thanked her softly.

"No need to thank me." Lin Zhao was very patient, "Li Bao, drink your medicine obediently, the hat is a reward."

After being praised, Li Bao had happy bubbles bubbling in his heart, "I will drink it obediently from now on."

Lin Zhao shook her head gently, "Don't say that! Take good care of yourself in the future, add clothes when it's cold, don't kick the quilt at night, drink water every day... try to get sick less, and raise your body to be strong, that's better than anything."

Li Bao nodded solemnly, "Hmm, I've noted it down."

Xiang Yubao also said: "I've noted it down too, I will keep an eye on my younger brother and sister."

"Xiang Yubao is the most obedient." Lin Zhao praised casually.

While talking, several people returned home.

Before they reached the door, they saw a flatbed cart parked at the door, full of things, and the twins were sitting on it.

Song Yunjin pushed the cart back and forth, using the cart as a cradle to coax Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao to play.

He looked up and saw Lin Zhao and the three treasures returning.

Asked urgently: "Sister, things are packed, going back now?"

One was more anxious than the other, only she wasn't anxious.

Lin Zhao said simply: "Back!"

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao jumped very high, a string of happy laughter overflowing from their mouths.

"Back to the brigade!!" Gu Hangbao said loudly, pulling his brother and Li Bao back to the room to get things.

The candies they saved, thick coats, small satchels, hats...

Fully equipped.

Lin Zhao also returned to the room to get her and the twins' things.

After packing like that, there was a big bag.

She carried the bag out, saw Li Bao, and put the hat she was holding on his head.

Took a look.

"Good looking."

Gu Hangbao raised his chin, very spirited, leaned his head towards Li Bao, and asked: "Do we look like triplets."

"..."

Lin Zhao was silent for a moment and said: "Yes."

The hats were alike, but the faces weren't alike at all.

Gu Hangbao showed off, puffed out his belly, pulled Xiang Yubao and Li Bao's hands, and jumped out the door.

Lin Zhao turned around to lock the room door, called Da Huang and Xiao Hu Po, and went back to the brigade.

Song Yunjin pushed the flatbed cart, the twins were sitting on it, lying splayed out on the old mattress their uncle spread, looking at the sky, watching the clouds constantly changing shapes. Little Jin curled up between the two little ones, in the same posture as them.

"Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, Li Bao, do you three want to sit? There's still room in front." Song Yunjin looked at the three treasures and asked.

Xiang Yubao held his mother's hand and shook his head, "Mom and I will walk back."

Gu Hangbao hesitated, the desire to sit in the cart occupied the upper hand, "I want to sit."

Song Yunjin stopped and winked at him, "Get on!"

Whoosh.

Gu Hangbao slid up like a little monkey.

"What about Li Bao?" Song Yunjin was afraid he would be embarrassed, so he asked him specifically.

Li Bao wasn't interested, "Don't want to!"

He had sat on it before, his butt would hurt without a cushion.

Song Yunjin didn't say anything more and continued to push the cart.

"If you're tired, hand it over to me." Lin Zhao spoke up.

"Impossible to be tired." Song Yunjin said confidently, "How heavy is this."

While talking, he even accelerated the push.

Creak creak.

The flatbed cart slid over the dirt road, making a sound.

"Push slower!" Lin Zhao shouted loudly.

Holding Xiang Yubao and Li Bao, followed by two dogs, quickly followed.

Da Huang and Xiao Hu Po ate well, the meat on their bodies grew thick, their fur was smooth, their limbs were strong, and they looked very scary on the road, causing passersby to involuntarily cast their eyes on them.

"What a fat big dog!" The skin kid passing by blurted out, his words full of shock.

Da Huang looked at him.

The skin kid shrank his head, not daring to make a sound.

The men looked at the two dogs with appreciative eyes, "It's fat, never seen such a fierce dog, don't know how it's raised!"

Older people had different views, using a preaching tone: "People can't even afford to eat, and they still raise dogs, eating so fat, how much grain was wasted, it would be better to kill the big one and eat the meat."

While talking, they smacked their lips.

This was heard by Xiang Yubao, fear appeared in his eyes, and the hand holding Lin Zhao tightened slightly.

Voice nervous, "Mom."

"Don't be afraid, Da Huang can even beat a wolf, no one can hurt it." Lin Zhao pinched the child's hand.

She wasn't surprised by what the passersby said, people who lacked oil in their stomachs, where could they have any rationality?

This was also the reason why she wanted to return to the brigade when there weren't many people.

Xiang Yubao recalled Da Huang's resume of showing off his power in the mountains and let out a long sigh of relief.

He picked up the chubby Xiao Hu Po, walked forward quickly, and whispered to Da Huang, "Da Huang, you must protect yourself and your cubs, take it away from bad people! They are bad, they want to kill you and eat meat!"

Da Huang seemed to understand and barked.

Xiang Yubao had a hard time freeing up a hand, touched Da Huang's head as a reward.

"Da Huang is the best."

Lin Zhao saw that Xiang Yubao couldn't hold Xiao Hu Po, who had grown and fattened a circle, and said: "Let Xiao Hu Po walk by itself, I'm here, no one dares to attack it."

Xiang Yubao really couldn't hold it, and put Xiao Hu Po down again.

"Xiao Hu Po, you must follow us closely, don't get caught by bad people!" He gave instructions to the little dog.

Xiao Hu Po circled around the little master, barked a few times, and its tail wagged quickly.

Xiang Yubao's expression was joyful, grabbed its right paw and shook it a few times, "We agreed."

Xiao Hu Po rubbed against Xiang Yubao's leg, "Woof..."

"Mom, Xiao Hu Po promised me, right?" Xiang Yubao looked surprised and looked up at Lin Zhao.

"Yes." Lin Zhao said.

The four cubs treated the two dogs and Little Jin as partners, they couldn't bear to lose any of them!

"Don't dawdle, hurry up, once we get back to the village... they can run however they want and be safe."

Xiang Yubao thought it was the same, made a starting move, and ran forward.

Song Yunjin glared at the person who said to kill Da Huang and cursed a few times.

Even eyeing a dog, really no humanity!

Lin Zhao just wanted to get home quickly, urged: "Yunjin, hurry back."

The sky suddenly darkened, afraid it was going to rain.

Yunjin came back to his senses, didn't go up to fight with the old man, and continued to push the flatbed cart huffing and puffing.

Ten minutes later, there weren't many people on the road, and the sky was completely overcast.

"Is it going to rain?" Song Yunjin's face changed slightly.

Lin Zhao was very calm, "Walk faster, best to get home before it rains."

She pulled Xiang Yubao and Li Bao to accelerate, Gu Hangbao didn't sit for long, disliked that his butt hurt, got off the cart, was running at this moment, chasing and playing with Da Huang, walking at the very front.

Song Yunjin accelerated again.

The group hurried and hurried, returning home before the raindrops fell.

Just as they carried the things on the flatbed cart to the bamboo table under the eaves and put away the cart, bean-sized rain fell from the sky, hitting the roof, making a pattering sound.

"It's raining!!" Xiang Yubao shouted.

Song Yunjin: "We're quite lucky, almost got soaked."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Zhao spiritedly, "Sister, am I useful to bring along? You didn't want to bring me before, I'm useful!"

"I was afraid of trouble." Lin Zhao rolled her eyes at him.

"What trouble, not troublesome at all, your business is never troublesome, sister, you are just being polite!" Song Yunjin said.

Lin Zhao ignored him.

Don't know what Uncle told Yunjin, in his heart, she seemed to have incomplete limbs, and he had to intervene in everything.

Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, and Li Bao stood under the eaves, reaching out to catch the rain, feeling the raindrops hitting their palms, giggling.

After a while, Gu Hangbao turned his head, "Mom, I miss Grandpa and Grandma, can I go to the old house?"

Xiang Yubao's face also showed expectation.

Song Yunjin suggested: "It's raining, wait until the rain stops."

It was cool, he was afraid the twins would catch a cold.

The eyes of the two cubs dimmed.

Lin Zhao said again: "If you want to go, go, wear raincoats and rain boots."

Fortunately, she was prepared.

"What?" Gu Hangbao was puzzled.

"Wait."

After dropping a sentence, Lin Zhao turned back to the room, opened the wardrobe, took out two raincoats and two pairs of rain boots from inside, thought Li Bao was here, and took out an extra set from the storage ring.

Yunjin was also missing one, so she just took a big one.

The children's raincoats were bright yellow, and the rain boots were the same color.

Seeing such bright colors, the three treasures' eyes were bright.

Lin Zhao spread out a raincoat, put it on Xiang Yubao, took off the hat on his head, and put on the hat that came with the raincoat.

"This way you won't be afraid of the rain, sit down and change your shoes." She let Xiang Yubao change his shoes himself, and quickly put raincoats on Gu Hangbao and Li Bao.

The little kids were that tall, wearing bright yellow raincoats, looking milky and cute.

"Good looking." Lin Zhao commented, and whispered, "Little kids still have to wear bright colors, so cute."

The three treasures put on rain boots, tucked their pants into the shoes, the size was just right, and walking wasn't clumsy.

They walked into the rain and found that they really couldn't get wet, the three little ones held hands and spun around happily in the rain.

Seeing Yaobao also wanted to rush into the rain, Song Yunjin hurriedly scooped her up and fixed her in his armpit.

"You aren't wearing a raincoat, don't dare to rush in, getting sick means injections, injections hurt." He tried to reason with the little dumpling.

Seeing Yaobao hadn't had an injection and didn't have that concept, seeing her brothers playing in the rain, she also wanted to play, kicking her limbs, shouting she wanted to.

Song Yunjin had no choice, holding Seeing Yaobao in one hand and taking the remaining raincoat in the other, but saw that this raincoat was big, and the rain boots wrapped in the raincoat were also big, far from what the twins could wear.

He had expectations in his heart, looked up suddenly, "Sister?"

"For you." Lin Zhao said softly.

Hearing this, Song Yunjin's mouth was about to reach the back of his head.

"Sister, where did you get so many raincoats and rain boots? Didn't you say they were hard to buy?" He touched the raincoats and rain boots, his face full of smiles.

It rained a lot this season, he wore coir raincoats to school, which could block rain, but his pant legs would inevitably get wet. If the rain was a bit heavy, not to mention the shoes getting soaked, the pant legs could get wet up to the knees.

"I'm a sales clerk at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, what can't I get." Lin Zhao said proudly.

Song Yunjin thought so too, "Amazing."

Looking at the twins running in the rain, he sighed and said: "Sister, you didn't have raincoats or rain boots when you went to school. If you had raincoats and rain boots, you definitely wouldn't have gotten sick every year."

"..."

Lin Zhao: "You're getting sentimental... just a cold, nothing."

Song Yunjin had different views, "Colds are so uncomfortable, every time you caught a cold, you couldn't eat or sleep well for days, your voice sounded like a pig squealing, you didn't even have the strength to scold me and my brother... Mom and Dad were most afraid of you getting sick back then."

Once he opened his mouth, everything spilled out.

Lin Zhao: "?"

"My voice sounded like a pig squealing?"

"How come I don't remember?!" She narrowed her eyes at the outspoken Song Yunjin, her eyes threatening.

Song Yunjin became honest instantly, explaining incoherently, "... Sister, you understand, I didn't mean that, I... just felt you had a hard time going to school before, and felt bad in my heart."

Lin Zhao: "Which school isn't hard."

"I think it's okay." Song Yunjin smiled brightly.

"You have abundant energy."

"Can't compare to my aunt." Song Yunjin said while fighting with Seeing Yaobao, preventing her from wearing the raincoat, while talking to Lin Zhao, "Sister, why did you think of buying me raincoats and rain boots, Mom and Dad didn't think of it."

"Uncle and Aunt didn't not think of it, they just didn't get the coupons for the time being." Lin Zhao explained.

Raincoats and rain boots were rubber products, the coupons were harder to get than oil coupons and sugar coupons, and they were daily necessities, so they could afford them if they pinched, but of course they wouldn't take them out.

"I know." Song Yunjin knew his parents were good to him, "I'll be the second person in my family to have raincoats and rain boots from now on!"

When he went back and wore them for his brother to see, he guaranteed he could make him cry with envy.

Hehe.

At this time, Gu Hangbao, who had played enough in the rain, asked Lin Zhao through the rain curtain: "Mom, can we go see Grandpa and Grandma now?"

He wanted to show off!

"Go, walk slowly, don't run." Lin Zhao didn't stop these few, she could stop people but not their hearts.

Xiang Yubao thought of tomorrow's birthday and said: "Can we go find Tie Niu and Yuan Bao and the others on the way, and tell them that Gu Hangbao and I are having a birthday tomorrow?"

"... Okay."

As soon as Lin Zhao agreed, the three treasures were overjoyed.

After leaving the house, they saw many brigade members wearing coir raincoats or straw hats.

Gu Hangbao greeted everyone he was familiar with like a social butterfly.

The villagers saw them and stopped.

"Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, you two are back, wearing something quite good-looking, is this a city thing?"

"This yellow is really bright, you can see it from far away."

"Li Bao is wearing it too, your Third Aunt is quite good to you."

"Xiang Yubao, heard your Big Aunt is about to become a city person, is it true?"

The villagers were busy gossiping, standing under the eaves, asking the twins of the Gu family.

Gu Hangbao told everything he knew, "Yes, my Big Aunt is about to become a city person!" ===== CHAPTER 223 =====

The villagers were busy gossiping, standing under the eaves, asking the Gu family's twins.

Gu Hangbao told them everything, "That's right, my eldest aunt is about to become a city person!"
