Chapter 223: He suspects his sister is setting him up

"Your uncle-in-law caught the eye of a big shot, is it true?" The person who spoke asked again.

Caught the eye?

Green eyes?!

"... Yes." Gu Hangbao replied loudly.

He had seen it before—Uncle-in-law's eyes were green, and a bit swollen.

"Your Big Aunt's family is also successful." The villagers said enviously.

Gu Hangbao could understand this, he proudly puffed out his chest and raised his head, "Must be!"

Xiang Yubao missed Grandpa and Grandma, urged his younger brother, "Gu Hangbao, are you done talking, let's hurry to find Grandpa and Grandma."

"Done, done!" Gu Hangbao said hurriedly.

Turned to the person who asked him, "Uncle, let's talk tomorrow, my brother and I are having a birthday tomorrow, we'll be in the brigade all day, we can talk slowly when we have time."

With his hands behind his back, he was old-fashioned.

Feeling the hat blocking his eyes, he raised his hand to lift it.

Then jumped and skipped with Xiang Yubao and Li Bao to the old house.

The villagers laughed.

The rain was heavy, the road was completely wet, walking wasn't that convenient, slightly muddy, the kind that could bring out mud when lifting feet.

The three little kids came to the old house.

At the door, Gu Hangbao shouted: "Grandpa, Grandma, we're back!!!"

Inside the house.

Gu Fu vaguely heard the sound, looked at Gu Mu: "Gu Hangbao is here?"

Gu Mu didn't hear it: "How is that possible, he and Xiang Yubao are staying well in the city, it's raining, how could he suddenly come back!"

Gu Fu thought so too, and sat back down.

Just at this moment, a clear voice came from outside again.

"Eh? Are Grandpa and Grandma not here, why didn't anyone come out!?" Gu Hangbao stood under the eaves, stomping heavily to clean the mud and water on his rain boots.

Gu Mu heard this sentence.

She hurriedly put on her shoes, lifted the door curtain, and walked out of the house.

Seeing the three grandchildren dressed like three "little yellow ducks", she was stunned in place.

"Oh my, where did these obedient cubs come from!" Gu Mu said rarely.

Gu Hangbao stopped stomping, ran towards her, "From the Gu family!!"

Answered very loudly.

"Grandma, look at our raincoats and rain boots, Mom bought them for us, they can prevent rain." He said loudly, as if showing off.

Gu Mu directly touched the three treasures, their hair was dry, and the clothes inside were also dry.

Oh my, learned something new again!

"Good looking." Gu Mu said, "Your mom can even get this kind of thing."

Third daughter-in-law was getting more and more amazing!!

"Yes, yes." Gu Hangbao said.

He supported the wall with his left hand, lifted the raincoat with his right hand, revealing the tender yellow rain boots under his feet.

"There are also rain boots, the pants are inside, no matter how you step on the rain... the feet are dry, it's just that the shoes stepped on mud!"

Just put on new clothes, the three treasures were very careful, but walking all the way, it was inevitable to splash mud spots.

They all felt heartache.

"My new rain boots are dirty!" Gu Hangbao's face squeezed into a ball with heartache.

Gu Mu hurriedly said: "Wait until the rain stops, Grandma will brush them for you, they will be clean after brushing!"

Xiang Yubao was very sensible, did everything himself, and said immediately: "No need for Grandma to help us brush, we can brush them ourselves, I can even wash white shoes, Mom said I wash them very cleanly!"

"Mom also praised me!" Gu Hangbao didn't want his brother to leave him behind, and said loudly.

"All obedient, you are all obedient!" Gu Mu laughed from ear to ear.

Didn't forget Li Bao either.

"Li Bao has raincoats and rain boots too, looking really good, like a city kid!"

Li Bao stood under the eaves, lifted the raincoat, stretched his feet out, let the raindrops wash the mud on his feet, changing angles from time to time.

"Third Aunt gave them to me."

Gu Mu knew Third Daughter-in-law was generous, and said: "Since Third Aunt gave them to you, you should keep them well."

"Okay!" Li Bao responded.

The three treasures just got the raincoats and rain boots, couldn't bear to take them off, and kept wearing them on their bodies.

There was mud on the shoes, they didn't enter the house, sitting on the small stools under the eaves.

Gu Mu said: "Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, is your mom celebrating your birthday this year?"

The twins nodded at the same time, their eyes shining brightly.

"Yes!" The brothers shook their feet happily.

Xiang Yubao sat obediently, hands tucked together, his little voice light and fast, "My dad sent us a birthday gift."

"Is that so, your dad has a heart." Gu Mu was happy for her grandson, asked curiously: "What did he send you?"

Xiang Yubao shook his head, "Don't know yet, we'll unpack it tomorrow, Grandma, do you want to watch together?"

"Sure, I want to see what good things he sent you, if my grandson isn't satisfied, I'll have your grandpa write a letter to scold him!" In front of his own grandson, his favorite son had to stand aside.

"Whatever Dad sends us, we like it." Xiang Yubao's expression was solemn.

Dad worked hard, he didn't want Grandpa and Grandma to scold Dad!

Gu Mu found a rag like a cloth strip, rinsed it with rainwater, squatted down to wipe the mud spots on the three treasures' rain boots.

While busy, she asked: "Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, how does your mom plan to celebrate for you?"

She was a little worried.

"Mom said she would make a cake." Gu Hangbao said very loudly.

Gu Mu looked up, her eyes blank, "... Sponge cake?!"

Celebrating a birthday with sponge cake? It seemed... not impossible.

"No." Xiang Yubao waved his hand, "Not sponge cake. Cake is made of flour, cream, eggs... and fruit, it's very troublesome, different from sponge cake!"

He didn't have any concept, just blindly repeated Lin Zhao's words.

Xiang Yubao said one thing, Gu Mu's heart trembled.

After he finished speaking, she was numb.

"My Uncle Yunjin said, cake is very fragrant and sweet, even better than sponge cake!" Gu Hangbao supported his chin, sucking on his saliva.

Gu Mu's expression was complicated.

Using so many good things, how could it not be fragrant and sweet?!

It must be able to make people dizzy with fragrance!

Bang Bang and the others swallowed their saliva, how fragrant it must be.

Xiang Yubao looked at them and said: "My mom said, when Gu Hangbao and I have a birthday, we can invite close people to eat at home. Brother Bang Bang, Brother Lai Mei, Sister Lan Lan... don't forget to go."

Lai Mei's mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, his tone couldn't help but raise, "We all go?"

"Yes." Xiang Yubao was affirmative.

Gu Hangbao also said: "My mom said so, she said it many times."

He laughed, "My mom said we haven't had a birthday before, this time we'll make up for it."

After speaking, Gu Hangbao said again: "Really want to have a birthday every day, so happy."

"..."

Lai Mei: Who doesn't want to?!

When they had birthdays, Grandma gave them red eggs.

Gu Mu spat and laughed: "The family doesn't have so many eggs for you to waste, still want to have a birthday every day, thinking really beautifully."

Gu Hangbao touched his nose and changed the subject: "Grandma, are you and Grandpa coming tomorrow?"

Before Gu Mu could speak, Xiang Yubao looked at Grandpa and Grandma, his eyebrows earnest, "I want Grandpa and Grandma to go."

"... Go." Gu Fu didn't remain silent anymore.

Gu Mu looked at him.

"A birthday only happens once a year, always have to let the birthday star get their wish." Gu Fu smiled.

Gu Mu didn't say anything disappointing, planning to go earlier tomorrow to help Third Daughter-in-law, and by the way, ask about A Chan and Xiangdong's situation.

The twins didn't stay long, after finishing the business, they left the old house and went to the homes of Ye Tie Niu, Yuan Bao, and other little friends.

Informed the little partners that they were having a birthday tomorrow and invited them to play at home.

This was a novel thing for the little friends in the village.

They agreed happily.

After the twins left, each family expressed their evaluation.

"Why did Xiang Yubao's mom think of celebrating the twins' birthday, getting weirder and weirder." Ye Tie Niu's mother muttered.

Ye Tie Niu's father said: "Why do you care about others, they are willing."

"The dishes at the Gu family's tomorrow must be good, right?" She asked again.

"Absolutely not bad." Chenghuai's wife was a decent person, the things she did were very beautiful, and to make her son speak, she definitely wouldn't treat the children's mouths badly.

Ye Tie Niu's mother was worried, "It's not good to let Ye Tie Niu eat for nothing, what should he bring tomorrow?"

She asked for the child's father's opinion.

Ye Tie Niu's father: "The family doesn't have anything valuable, let him bring some vegetables."

"Okay." Ye Tie Niu agreed directly, "Xiang Yubao's family lacks vegetables."

He looked at his mother, "Mom, pick more, don't be stingy, Gu Hangbao said his mom is making meat and sweet cake tomorrow, I want to eat a lot, I'll be embarrassed to eat if you bring too little."

Ye Tie Niu's mother: "..."

She scraped her son with her eyes and said unhappily: "Go find your grandma."

Not separated yet, she didn't dare to make the decision herself.

Ye Tie Niu gave his mother a "knew you were unreliable" look, sighed lightly, learned his grandpa's appearance, put his hands behind his back, went out, and found his grandma.

Yuan Bao's mother was also worried about what her son should bring tomorrow.

"Mom, did you think of it?" Yuan Bao urged.

"Don't rush, let me think about what's suitable." Yuan Bao's mother said.

"Make some rice cake?" Yuan Bao's father suggested.

The family only had a little bit of white sugar left, and Yuan Bao's mother couldn't bear to use it.

She said: "There's not much white sugar left, still have to entertain people during the New Year."

"... We'll talk about it then." Yuan Bao's father felt that the children invited by the twins would bring things, and if his Yuan Bao went empty-handed, he would be laughed at by other children.

This wouldn't do.

"Okay."

Yuan Bao thought about having things to bring, the corners of his mouth lifted, and said: "Gu Hangbao said his mom is making meat tomorrow, I'll save two pieces for Dad and Mom."

Yuan Bao's mother's heart warmed, but she didn't forgive him, "Alright, alright, you eat yours, I'm not greedy for that bite! No need for you to save!"

The man looked at his wife and smiled, not greedy, then who said there was no oil in her stomach, and she would cut a few taels of meat in a few days to satisfy her craving?!

"Mom isn't greedy for meat." Yuan Bao looked very surprised, looked at his father: "Dad, I'll save it for you."

His father ruffled his son's hair, "Okay! Really my filial son!"

Yuan Bao laughed.

After notifying everyone, the twins returned home with satisfaction.

Lin Zhao didn't see Li Bao return, asked: "Li Bao went home?"

"Hmm, he'll come again tomorrow." Xiang Yubao replied, "Li Bao missed his mom, Gu Hangbao and I sent him to the door, and we came back."

Lin Zhao felt relieved.

Gu Hangbao took off his raincoat first, hung it up, sat on the small stool and took off his rain boots, busy, and said: "My brother and I told Grandpa and Grandma... we are having a birthday tomorrow, Grandpa and Grandma are coming tomorrow too."

Lin Zhao had no opinion, "Okay."

Based on her understanding of her mother-in-law, she would definitely come very early to help her.

This way there was even less pressure!

"I bought a lot of meat, just right to nourish Grandpa and Grandma."

The twins were so sensible, all because the foundation was laid well, all thanks to Grandpa and Grandma, Lin Zhao wasn't ungrateful, she kept it all in her heart.

Xiang Yubao liked Grandpa and Grandma, and wanted to share good things with them, hearing his mother's words, his heart bubbled with happiness, changed his rain boots, and rushed to hug Lin Zhao's waist.

"Mom is so good!!" It would be perfect if Dad was here too, sigh.

Lin Zhao rubbed her son's soft hair, hugged his little shoulder, and watched the rain.

Raindrops hit the roof and tree tips, making a pattering sound, the rain weakened, but the temperature dropped quite a bit, and as soon as the wind blew, it made people feel cold all over.

"Achoo——!" Gu Hangbao sneezed violently.

Lin Zhao pulled the brothers into the house, "Temperature dropped, you two pay attention to keeping warm. If you feel hot, don't rush to take off clothes, you must ask me first, I say you can take them off before you can, do you hear me?"

Little kids didn't know better, sometimes they wanted to take off clothes when they sweated a little, and after taking them off, they caught a cold, terrible, fever...

Children getting sick was very troublesome, must pay attention.

"Hmm hmm." The twins nodded.

The next day.

The weather was beautiful, it was a sunny day, the rainwater on the ground was all dry. The remaining muddy traces indicated that there was a heavy rain last night.

Because she wanted to make a cake, Lin Zhao woke up very early, got up at dawn to get busy.

Vaguely heard the movement from the kitchen, Song Yunjin realized his sister was up, suddenly sprang up from the bed, put on a coat, and went out.

Came to the kitchen.

He had just woken up, still a bit confused, yawned, his voice carrying the hoarseness of just waking up, "Why did you get up so early, you forgot to call me again."

Lin Zhao coaxed him like a child, "Didn't forget. Planned to do the preparatory work and then go call you."

Song Yunjin's face improved, leaned forward, "What do I need to do?"

"Go wash up first!" Lin Zhao's eyes were disgusted.

Song Yunjin touched his nose, "... Forgot."

Turned around and went to the courtyard to wash up.

He didn't use hot water, just made do with cold water.

"There's hot water in the kettle." Lin Zhao frowned.

"Not cold." Song Yunjin said indifferently, "My fire is strong, didn't feel cold, wait until the weather gets colder, I'll definitely use hot water to wash."

He had a count in his heart, Lin Zhao didn't manage him anymore, ordered him to use egg whites to whip the cream.

"Beat the eggs, keep beating, don't stop until I say so."

A row of question marks appeared on Song Yunjin's head.

"???"

He suspected his sister was setting him up.

Unfortunately, he had no evidence.

Hesitated for a few moments, Song Yunjin honestly started working.

Cha cha!

Cha cha cha!!

Next, the kitchen was full of the sound of chopsticks rubbing against the basin edge.

Song Yunjin kept beating, Lin Zhao didn't say stop, he really didn't slack off.

Lin Zhao put white sugar into the basin from time to time, her eyes writing "continue".

Cha cha cha!!

Nearly half an hour later, his right arm was stiff and painful, almost unable to lift.

Tired to the point that even his mouth was exerting force.

"Okay."

Lin Zhao's voice was like heaven, Song Yunjin dropped the tool, let out a long sigh, with an expression of being afraid.

He looked at the milky white thing in the basin, a bit unable to believe... this was beaten by him.

"... Too magical!!" Song Yunjin exclaimed.

Before Lin Zhao could speak, his tone was full of hesitation: "Sister, can this thing make a cake?"

Lin Zhao gave him a light glance.

Why couldn't it?

There were many uses for it.

There was cream in the storage ring, but she couldn't take it out directly. What was in the basin was beaten by Yunjin himself, and she would swap it, so there would be no flaws.

It was still easy to fool a silly brother who had never eaten cake.

"Sister, what to do next?"

Lin Zhao sent him out, "What needs to be prepared is ready, it's my turn to show off, go back to the room and catch up on sleep."

Song Yunjin wasn't happy, "How can this be, I have to help you."

Lin Zhao glanced at the eggs in the corner of the cutting board, smiled: "Or... you continue beating?"

"Cough... well, I'll go catch up on sleep." Song Yunjin turned and left. ===== CHAPTER 224 =====
