Chapter 225: Zhaozhao can't bear for me to be injured
The two cubs unpacked the package carefully, their noses sweating nervously.
Lin Zhao found it funny, "Unpack boldly, what are you nervous about."
Based on her understanding of the cubs' father, if it was really what the twins wanted, it would definitely be wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside. After all, he had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder and wouldn't allow... things sent to his son to be broken.
Her persuasion was useless, Xiang Yubao still unpacked slowly, Gu Hangbao's anxiety was useless, if he used a little more force, he would get an eye knife from his brother.
Gu Hangbao was wronged, Gu Hangbao sighed.
Brother was so fierce.
Xiang Yubao helped with stiff hands and feet, sweating on his forehead.
Lin Zhao saw Gu Hangbao being scolded by Xiang Yubao until he didn't dare to make a sound, couldn't help but laugh.
The brothers squatted on the ground, looking up at their mother.
Xiang Yubao was a little embarrassed, "Mom, what are you laughing at?"
His appearance was a bit coy.
"Laughing that you are cute." Lin Zhao's eyes were soft.
Facing such a gaze, Xiang Yubao felt hot all over, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, revealing a cute smile.
Gu Hangbao looked at his mother, then at his brother, didn't know what they were laughing at, and became happy too.
Qian Bao watched with a serious little face, Seeing Yaobao squeezed beside her brothers, helping with trouble.
Xiang Yubao inhaled wildly.
Today was the twins' birthday, Song Yunjin and his sister had the same purpose—to let Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao spend their birthday happily.
He snatched away the troublesome Seeing Yaobao, placed her on his neck, protected her with both hands nervously, and took her to see the flowers that had long withered.
Xiang Yubao visibly let out a sigh of relief.
Gu Hangbao also said: "The troublemaker finally left."
Xiang Yubao thought so too, but said: "Don't say that about your sister."
They were brothers, had to be tolerant of their younger brother and sister.
Gu Hangbao listened to his brother very much, "... Okay, I won't say it."
Lin Zhao watched the big cub teach the second cub, didn't say anything.
If the general direction wasn't wrong, follow them.
While teaching Gu Hangbao, Xiang Yubao's hands didn't stop, peeling off the tightly wrapped gift box layer by layer.
In a short time, peeled off three layers.
He was very patient, his emotions were unusually stable, seeing that he couldn't finish unpacking for a long time, brought a small stool, sat down, and untied it slowly.
Lin Zhao spoke up: "Need help?"
"No need, I can do it." Xiang Yubao felt the fun, wasn't anxious at all, unpacking slowly.
He felt he could always unpack it.
Gu Hangbao was infected by his brother's calmness, didn't rush anymore, helped gently, Xiang Yubao didn't dislike him, gave him a chance to do it together, after a while, Gu Hangbao completely calmed down, and the impatience on his face disappeared completely.
Lin Zhao sighed, having a stable cub was really good.
Her gaze wandered to Qian Bao, this one was also stable, even more stable than his big brother.
She stretched her arms and hugged the little guy into her arms.
"Mom?" Qian Bao's black and white eyes were blank, calling out milky.
"It's okay, just want to hug the cub." Lin Zhao's voice was soft, lowered her head and rubbed the little guy's nose with her nose, her words containing a smile, "Why so obedient, too cute."
Qian Bao's eyes were wet, lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a shy and bashful smile.
He didn't move, obediently nestled in Lin Zhao's arms, his calm eyebrows flashing with joy.
It could be seen that the little kid was very happy to be close to his mother.
Gu Hangbao watched with envy, and made a request unceremoniously, "Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight!"
Afraid Lin Zhao wouldn't agree, he said: "It's what you said, the little birthday star can make any request, I want to sleep with you, want to hear you tell stories. You haven't told us stories for a long time!"
"?"
Talking nonsense.
Lin Zhao retorted in her heart.
When they were in the county, which night didn't she tell them stories? Which night didn't she coax them to sleep before going back to her own room.
Talking nonsense.
Xiang Yubao's movements paused, also looking at his mother expectantly.
He also wanted to...
Seeing this, Lin Zhao compromised, "Okay, just one night." She added.
Sleeping on a big bed alone was really too comfortable!
She didn't want to share!!
Gu Chenghuai: "...?"
Gu Hangbao wasn't greedy, "Okay, we'll move back tomorrow morning."
Lin Zhao almost widened her eyes.
Why use the word move back, isn't it just bringing a pillow over?
Xiang Yubao said: "One night is enough, Mom has to work, must rest well."
Feeling something hard, his eyes suddenly lit up, his voice increased, lifting slightly, "It's out."
At this time, the ground was covered with newspapers.
Gu Hangbao looked over excitedly, "What is it, what is it?!"
Xiang Yubao unpacked more carefully.
Removed the newspaper on the surface, saw a paper box.
"It's a paper box!" He said.
Then carefully opened it.
The bottom of the box was covered with soft wheat straw, and on it was a toy big car, the material looked like plastic.
Gu Hangbao touched it excitedly, his movements very light, his tone could float to the sky.
"It's a car! A big car!! The car I thought of!!!" He shouted happily, "Dad kept his word, he really returned a car to me!"
While speaking, he picked up the toy car, hugged it in his arms, his smile brighter than the sun.
"I like this birthday gift, super super like!!"
Seeing that what was opened wasn't his, Xiang Yubao felt a little disappointed, looked at Gu Hangbao's happy smile, that emotion disappeared quickly, and he was happy for his younger brother.
"Gu Hangbao, this car is really spirited!" He praised.
Gu Hangbao didn't forget his brother, put the beloved car away, and unpacked other boxes with Xiang Yubao.
Next, unpacked the box with the same volume as the toy car.
The brothers collaborated, soon unpacked to the last layer.
Gu Hangbao didn't open it, urged Xiang Yubao, "Brother, open it quickly, it must be your airplane! I don't know what an airplane looks like!"
Xiang Yubao's heart thumped, very nervous.
His face was red with excitement.
He opened the box, inside was something white with a bit of red.
It was indeed an airplane.
But.
For Xiang Yubao nowadays, it was very strange.
After all, he hadn't seen an airplane, didn't know what an airplane looked like, even if he had seen movies, when the airplane model really appeared before his eyes, he still couldn't equate them.
"Mom?" Xiang Yubao's eyes were helpless.
Lin Zhao smiled, "Didn't you always want it? This is an airplane."
Qian Bao in Mom's arms spoke: "Has wings."
"Qian Bao's eyes are really good, saw the wings at a glance." Lin Zhao rubbed his soft face, her tone gentle and doting.
Xiang Yubao took out the little airplane, his gaze swept over it inch by inch, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"Dad is really good." He said.
He missed Dad.
Gu Chenghuai also missed his wife and children.
After completing the mission, he returned to the military region, first went to find the commander to report, and then went to the hospital to apply medicine.
Afraid that his Fourth Brother-in-law would tell Zhaozhao about his injury, Gu Chenghuai originally wanted to apply medicine quietly, then go call his wife.
Didn't know, just entered the hospital, so coincidentally bumped into Meng Jiusi.
"... Fourth Brother." Gu Chenghuai had nowhere to hide, called him honestly.
Meng Jiusi's gaze fell on his brother-in-law's face.
He was really miserable.
Hair, beard all grew, two scratches on the eyebrows, clothes were also dirty, a bit smelly, looking miserable, but the muscles on his arms were getting stronger, his eyebrows deeper.
"Where are you injured?" Meng Jiusi put the fountain pen into the pocket of his white coat, scanning his brother-in-law.
Gu Chenghuai said steadily: "Arm scratched, nothing, just apply some medicine."
After finishing the condition, he looked at Meng Jiusi with sincere eyes, his words earnest, "It will be fine after recuperating for half a month, Fourth Brother, don't tell Zhaozhao."
Meng Jiusi knew the importance, never thought about blabbing.
"Won't."
Telling his sister would only add worry to her.
He threw a look at Gu Chenghuai, "Go to my office, I'll take a look for you."
This was his own brother-in-law, if he didn't see the injury with his own eyes, he wouldn't be at ease.
"Sorry to trouble Fourth Brother." Gu Chenghuai had something to ask of him, followed honestly.
Meng Jiusi scanned him, "What's there to be polite about family."
Gu Chenghuai smiled, that smile softened the murderous aura on his face, "Used to it."
Both had long legs, walking like the wind, soon arrived at Meng Jiusi's office.
Gu Chenghuai's gaze swept, sat down casually, placed his injured arm on the table, his voice low and powerful, "Looks like Fourth Brother has adapted."
He didn't ask the other party if they encountered trouble, this was the person Ning Commander brought back, as long as they weren't stupid, no one dared to offend him.
"How long has it been, of course adapted." Meng Jiusi took the medical kit, winked at his brother-in-law, "Roll up your sleeve."
Gu Chenghuai rolled up his sleeve, revealing the arm wrapped in gauze.
The white bandage had already been stained with blood, red.
Meng Jiusi had been in the army for a month or so, still hadn't gotten used to these soldiers... being awesome, their pain tolerance was invincible, each one seemed not to feel pain no matter how heavy the injury, always thinking about training, making him helpless and respectful.
He unwrapped the blood-stained gauze, saw a wound deep to the bone, his brows immediately tightened.
"This is a small scratch?" Meng Jiusi stared at his brother-in-law disapprovingly, "What is a heavy injury to you, do you dare to say that to Zhaozhao?"
Gu Chenghuai touched his nose, "... Don't dare."
Imagining his wife's reaction, his cold heart became sweet and soft again.
"Zhaozhao can't bear for me to be injured." He said, his voice softening by more than two degrees.
Meng Jiusi's finger trembled, almost poking Gu Chenghuai's wound.
Showing off, rippling.
He ignored it.
Gu Chenghuai continued, "Every time I go home to visit relatives, Zhaozhao counts the scars on my body, one more... she will be angry, and won't talk to me for a day."
"Fourth Brother, do you know why it's a day?" He asked seriously.
Meng Jiusi: "... Don't know."
And didn't care that much.
Gu Chenghuai couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from hooking, "Because Zhaozhao cherishes the time she spends with me, she said... she doesn't want to waste time being angry."
"..."
Meng Jiusi was shown off, wanting to use gauze to block his brother-in-law's broken mouth.
In the brigade, he performed very normally, steady and reliable, didn't talk much, who knew that after getting familiar, he would be a show-off king, and a show-off king who loved to show affection.
Bullying him for being single, right?
(;? _?)
Meng Jiusi thought of a point to counterattack, looking at him with a smile, "When Zhaozhao brings the four children to follow the army, even if you scratch your finger, she will know, how will you respond then?"
Gu Chenghuai's expression stiffened for a moment, responding with silence.
"... Trouble apply it faster, I'm in a hurry to call my wife and children." He said.
Meng Jiusi smiled, applied medicine to him attentively, and wrapped it with gauze skillfully.
Just at this moment, Jingmo led his younger brother over.
The brothers were used to coming, knocked on the door formally, and walked straight in.
Once inside, saw the sloppy uncle-in-law, then looked closer, uncle-in-law was injured.
"Uncle-in-law, you returned from a mission." Jingmo greeted.
"Hmm." Gu Chenghuai nodded, "Next time I'll bring you candy."
Jingmo didn't be polite with his own uncle-in-law, smiled and asked: "Okay."
Seeing them again, Gu Chenghuai found that his wife's two nephews had changed quite a bit, from the gloomy and silent teenagers before, they became a bit more cheerful.
Sure enough, the environment had a great influence
Sure enough, the environment has a huge impact on a child's growth.
Guangbai climbed onto another chair, took his father's enamel mug, and started drinking water, his eyes fixed on his uncle-in-law.
"Uncle-in-law, are you hurt?" the little one asked in a milky, cute voice.
Meng Jiusi never skimped on his children; after arriving at the military district, he bought milk powder, malted milk extract, and red date cakes for his two sons... buying meat every few days to supplement the nutrition for Jingmo and Guangbai.
In a short time, the two boys had gained weight, especially Guangbai, whose little face had filled out; looking fair and tender, and wearing new clothes, he looked nothing like the pitiful child Gu Chenghuai had first seen.
Gu Chenghuai's gaze was gentle, his voice soft, "I just scraped my skin."
Jingmo:!! He's lying.
He had already seen the blood-stained gauze! Uncle-in-law was definitely hurt!! He was lying to a child!!!
Guangbai took a Meng Meng Xiaobai Rabbit creamy candy out of his pocket and handed it to him, "Uncle-in-law, eat some candy; eating candy makes you get better faster."
Gu Chenghuai was slightly startled, smiling helplessly.
Where did that conclusion come from?
"You eat it yourself..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Guangbai straightened up, placed the candy on the table, and pushed it over with his short, small hands.
Meeting his uncle-in-law's deep eyes, he shrank back, curled his fingers slightly, and lowered his head.
Gu Chenghuai couldn't describe his feelings.
These two children of his fourth brother-in-law had been raised very well.
Just as well as his own Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao.
"... Thank you, Meng Meng Xiaobai." His voice was hoarse as he accepted the little one's gesture and thanked his nephew.
Guangbai gave a shy smile, his voice soft, "No... no need to thank me."
Meng Jiusi washed his hands, ruffled his son's hair, and with a clear, gentle smile on his face, encouraged Meng Meng Xiaobai.
The little guy dove into his father's arms, smiling with his eyes curved like crescents.
Meng Jiusi hugged him, patted his son's back gently, looked at Gu Chenghuai, and said, "Eating together this afternoon?"
His brother-in-law had lost blood and needed to build it back up.
It just so happened he had bought meat early that morning.
Gu Chenghuai didn't stand on ceremony, "Sure."
He was in a rush to call his wife, so he didn't delay, pulled his sleeves down, said a quick word, and left immediately.
Once out of the hospital, he broke into a light run toward the place where he could make a call.
Sun Yeli finished dressing his wound and saw Gu Chenghuai, intending to call him to head back to the dormitory together, but before he could finish speaking, the man started running and vanished from his sight in an instant.
"... In a rush to eat?"
It wasn't mealtime yet.
A lightbulb went off in his head, and he realized.
—He was definitely going to make a call.
On the way to his mission, he had mentioned that he hadn't even had time to tell his wife, and he didn't know if he could make it back before his son's birthday...?!!
Sun Yeli didn't chase after him, yawned, and headed back to the dormitory alone.
Back at the military district, Gu Chenghuai felt his whole body relax, his heart full of his wife, and he didn't hear his comrade's voice.
He went straight to the place where he could make a call.
He dialed the number, his heart beating faster.
Would he be able to get through to her?
