Chapter 236

"Mother, I don't know this!!" Hengbao, the impatient one, immediately came for help, his little voice very resentful, "Maodan is annoying, annoying, didn't write Pinyin!!"

Yubao nodded his little head, looking very agreeable.

Lin Zhao couldn't stop laughing.

"Maodan didn't know you two didn't know those characters." She said.

The two children's little faces stiffened, their expressions even more resentful.

Hengbao put his hands on his hips, "Mother! Whose mother are you exactly?!"

Seeing Qian Bao raised his head, saying in a milky voice: "My mother."

After answering, without waiting for what Mother and Brother said, he lowered his little head and continued to look at his picture book.

Lin Zhao saw her son's long eyelashes blinking, his side profile carrying the roundness of little baby fat, and she couldn't help but scrape her son's cheek with her fingertips.

"Right, I am Seeing Qian Bao's mother."

Hengbao opened his arms to wrap around her waist, saying loudly: "Also my mother!"

Yubao: "Also my mother."

Hearing his brothers' words, Yaobao, who was playing with a doll, looked over, her tone light and soft, "Mother?"

Yubao argued with his brothers and felt embarrassed himself; hearing his sister speak, it seemed he had a step to get down.

He said to Yaobao: "You play with yours."

Yaobao didn't understand, didn't care, said "Oh," and continued to change clothes for her little cloth doll, her hands busy and chaotic, but she wasn't irritable, slow and leisurely, like an old lady doing needlework.

Hengbao stuffed the letter Maodan wrote to Mother, acting spoiled, "Mother, help us read it."

"Fine." Lin Zhao took the letter and began to read.

【Yubao, Hengbao:

Hope this letter finds you well! I am Maodan, I miss you very much, I wonder if you have thought of me?

Everything is well at the military region family compound, Jingmo and Guangbai are also well.

The military region also has private plots, can plant vegetables, my grandma also wants to plant, my father doesn't agree, worried she will get tired, my grandma said she has nothing to do all day, my father still opened a small vegetable plot, right in my family's courtyard.

We are slowly getting used to life in the military region, it's easier than in the village, everything is very convenient here, Jingmo and I sometimes go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy candy, it's very, very close, can walk there. When you come, we will go together.

You definitely won't guess who I saw in the military region, it's Lu Baozhen.

You haven't forgotten Lu Baozhen, right? From our village, the one who always loves to pester you two. You dislike her for loving to cry, don't like playing with her.

I have a new trouble now, sigh, don't know how to say it...

Lu Baozhen always follows me, and loves to come to my house, I've driven her away several times, she doesn't listen, and even cries, causing Auntie Wang to misunderstand that I'm bullying a little girl. I don't pay attention to her now when I see her, just treat her as if she doesn't exist.

Heard from Uncle Meng that your birthday is coming soon, Jingmo, Guangbai, and I went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy you gifts, sent them to you separately, hope you like them...】

A letter not long or short, written with daily things, finished reading without much effort.

Yubao frowned, indignantly saying: "Lu Baozhen is pestering Maodan again, she is really annoying."

Hengbao raised his little fist, "Should just beat her up, beat her until she cries and she won't dare to follow again!"

"Beat who?" Lin Zhao narrowed her eyes.

"Can a man raise his fist at a little girl?"

"I taught you, forgot again?"

She asked word by word, her expression serious.

He took them out, tasted one, and it was so sweet his eyebrows were practically flying; he hid the rest, thinking about sending them to his daughter another day.

"A man cannot hit a girl, I remember." He repeated word for word what Lin Zhao had said before.

"I was just quick-mouthed, Mother don't be angry."

Hengbao looked at Lin Zhao nervously, stretched out his right hand, palm up, "Mother, hit me."

Lin Zhao knew Er Cub's personality was carefree, sometimes speaking without thinking, not a little boy with bad intentions, so she wouldn't hit the child because of this.

"As long as you remember. I won't hit you, if you raise your fist at a little girl, I will hit you. Not only will I hit you, I'll also have your father hang you up and hit you." She threatened.

There were many bad habits in the countryside, hitting one's wife being the biggest, she couldn't manage others, but her children, raising a fist at the weak... just won't do!

Hengbao hurriedly retracted his arm, put his hand in his pocket, as if he would get a ruler if he were a second late, he hurriedly promised: "I remember, really remember."

Lin Zhao rubbed his hair, "As long as you remember, remembering makes you a good child."

Hengbao felt Mother's warm hand, his head rubbing against it involuntarily.

Seeing Lin Zhao was no longer angry, he frowned his little eyebrows again, "Then what should Brother and I do if we encounter that again?"

Lin Zhao's expression became complex.

Confident to the point of inflation, Comrade Gu Er Cub.

"Mother! Don't look down on people!" Hengbao felt Mother's gaze was weird, falling into a self-proving trap, indignantly saying: "Brother and I look good, our clothes and schoolbags also look good, and we have little snacks, many girls love to play with us."

Lin Zhao just said: "What the little girl likes is your clothes, schoolbags, and candy, not you, what are you proud of?"

Hengbao was speechless.

His brother said weakly: "But, our clothes, schoolbags, and candy, are ours."

Part of what belongs to them, how is it not theirs?!

Yubao's little head popped out a big question mark.

"Yes." Lin Zhao didn't know what to say.

"You don't want to be too eye-catching, how about in the future when you go out... be low-key?" She offered a small suggestion.

In fact, the twins' faces were ruddy, their eyes bright, one look and you could see they weren't lacking in material things, and they always had candy in their hands; let alone little girls, little boys also liked to crowd around to play with them.

Not to mention personality charm or not, the appeal and attraction of candy were top-notch.

"That won't do!" Hengbao shook his head like a rattle, "I seem to have heard my grandma say something, respect something something first, then respect something something, meaning clothes are very important."

……Yes, respect the clothes first then respect the person, right?

"That was in the past, who dares now?" Lin Zhao said.

No matter what you think in your heart, it won't do; at least on the surface, now the more patches, the more glorious.

But the children didn't understand, they envied... children who lived well.

"Everyone dares." Yubao was so angry his hair was almost standing up, "The grandpa who came to find Mother to sell eggs... was bullied by the previous bad salesperson!"

Just thinking of Grandpa being bullied, the little child's eyes were angry with sparks.

Lin Zhao: "..."

Since learning about the old man selling eggs, Yubao had been a bit melancholy, and he worked even harder at his studies, saying he wanted to be successful, to win face for Grandpa and Grandma, not letting people look down on his family...

"That was because she didn't meet a leader, otherwise she would have been in trouble long ago." She explained.

Yubao said with a stern face, "I still have to work hard, Father said people have to grasp the initiative, pinning hope on others... is not a smart way."

Lin Zhao was amused, "How old are you, why think so deep and far? You have your father."

"My father is so far away, the whip can't reach." Yubao used the tone his grandfather usually used.

The smile in Lin Zhao's eyes deepened, "Then you work hard."

Can't become a stumbling block to prevent the child from progressing, right.

However.

How did the conversation get here?!

Just as she was thinking, Hengbao pulled the topic back, "Mother hasn't answered me yet, if there are little girls pestering Brother and me, what should we do?"

Lin Zhao said casually: "Either use force against force, or run, otherwise what else can you do."

The two treasures looked at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding, nodding heavily at each other.

Lin Zhao: "?"

"What decision did you make?" She asked.

Yubao blinked his eyes, "Run."

Hengbao nodded.

Right.

Using force against force or something, troublesome, run first.

"... You two are worthy of being good friends with Maodan, the choices you make are all the same." Lin Zhao evaluated indifferently.

The two cubs were suddenly excited, nodding like pounding pestles.

Lin Zhao: "..."

"Mother, I'm going to write back to Maodan!" Hengbao rushed back to the room excitedly.

Yubao straightened Seeing Qian Bao who was almost knocked over, and also rushed in.

Lin Zhao shook her head helplessly, hugged Seeing Qian Bao, and circled the milky-smelling child in her arms, "Your brother runs fast, I'll read Father's letter to our Seeing Qian Bao, let them regret it."

Seeing Qian Bao looked at Mother, revealing his little rice teeth.

Lin Zhao kissed her son's soft little face, "So well-behaved."

"Read." The child said softly.

"Fine, read."

Lin Zhao began to read.

Reading what could be read.

She didn't read what Gu Chenghuai wrote to her.

Seeing Qian Bao listened seriously, his little cheeks bulging.

The twins only knew after finishing the letter that Father also sent a letter, and Mother read it to their younger brother first, the little brothers having expressions of the sky collapsing.

Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Why this expression, the letter isn't gone, it's not like the words disappear after reading it once."

Yubao said: "We weren't the first to see it."

Lin Zhao asked back, "The letter your father sent back, can I not be the first to see it?"

The children hurriedly shook their heads.

"No."

Yubao couldn't win against Mother, sighed, picked up the letter, and sat with his brother, each on a small stool, reading the letter obediently.

The two boys seemed to be sulking, and when they saw unfamiliar characters, they didn't look for Lin Zhao, but checked the dictionary themselves.

Lin Zhao didn't care, took out the little notebook that recorded life, and wrote and drew on the side.

Drew a picture of two red-warmed five-head-tall little boys looking at the letter.

The children's expressions went from sulking, to eyebrows relaxing, to smiling, then to giggling...

On the side were the two younger children.

"Father misses us." Hengbao said, "I miss Father too."

Lin Zhao said casually: "When the weather gets warmer, I'll take you two to visit."

The twins' eyes shone brightly.

Rushed over fiercely.

Stopped in front of Lin Zhao.

"Mother?" Yubao called out uncertainly.

Hengbao: "What did you just say? Are you going to take us to follow the army?!"

His excited tone was about to fly to the sky.

"Not following the army, it's visiting, if there's a chance to visit, we'll visit, if not, we'll see, uncertain things, don't be so excited." Lin Zhao patted the two cubs' little heads.

The two cubs' brains were full of excitement about exploring the world, unable to calm down.

Yubao asked: "Mother, when are we going?"

Lin Zhao: "..."

Her tone was helpless, "What I just said, did you hear it or not?"

"Heard it." Yubao said, "Mother said the matter of taking us to visit isn't guaranteed, if there's a chance we'll go, if not we won't, I heard it."

"When are we going?"

"..." Lin Zhao met her son's sparkling eyes, saw they really wanted to go, pondered for a moment, and said: "When the weather is warm."

"Spring?" The little brothers held hands, leaning against each other, their expressions nervous.

"Mm." Lin Zhao nodded.

Hengbao pulled his brother and jumped, "Brother, after the New Year, Mother is going to take us to visit, visit! We can see Father and Maodan, and Fourth Uncle, Jingmo and Guangbai, hehehehehe..."

He couldn't close his mouth for a long time from happiness.

Lin Zhao: "..."

Yubao jumped with his brother a few times, stopped, ran to Lin Zhao, looked at her, and lowered his voice, "Mother, are we all going?"

While speaking, he swept his eyes toward Seeing Qian Bao and Yaobao.

Lin Zhao pursed her lips and shook her head gently.

The twins were too young, they definitely couldn't go together, besides, she couldn't manage four children.

Yubao looked at his younger brother and sister with sympathy and reluctance, and said: "Bring them something delicious when we come back, can we?"

"Of course you can." Lin Zhao wouldn't stop her son from being good to his younger brother and sister.

Hengbao asked: "Mother, what delicious things are there over there?"

Lin Zhao hadn't been there, so of course she didn't know.

"Don't know. When we arrive, you explore for yourselves." She said.

The twins were even more expectant.

After coming back to her senses, Lin Zhao took Seeing Qian Bao and Yaobao back to the room.

They didn't rush in, but ran to collect dog hair.

"Hengbao, you pick it up first, I'll go get the bag." Yubao left a sentence and rushed into the room.

Hengbao said loudly: "Good."

He put a mat at the entrance of the dog kennel, stretched out most of his little body, gathered the hair dropped by Seeing Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po into a ball, and pushed it out.

Yubao took it and stuffed it into a small bag.

"So much."

Hengbao: "Mother said the dogs are changing hair, they won't be bald, they won't feel cold after the weather gets cold."

Yubao didn't speak, working seriously, cleaning up the hair in the dog kennel mat very cleanly.

After finishing, he climbed out and brushed off the dog hair on his body.

Put the bag containing dog hair back into the room's cabinet.

The two cubs came to Father and Mother's room.

"Mother, Seeing Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po's hair is cleaned up." Yubao reported to Lin Zhao.

"So capable." Lin Zhao praised.

Collecting dog hair is a long story, mainly because the twins felt it was a pity to throw away the hair dropped by Seeing Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po, as if their own clothes for warmth were thrown away, and they were all listless.

This is the innocence and romance unique to children.

Lin Zhao said they could keep it, and when there was enough, they could use the dog hair to stick a hair mat.

The two cubs gladly accepted this suggestion.

Went to collect it every two days.

"There's already a lot now, Mother." Yubao said.

"Still not enough." Lin Zhao said, "Doing handicrafts takes time and patience, do it when the weather gets hot."

It's too cold now, about to use hot water bags, how is this the time for handicrafts.

"Good." The twins promised obediently.

……

After the weather got cold, school was on vacation.

After a heavy rain, the temperature dropped sharply.

Pedestrians on the street changed into cotton clothes, those with good conditions wore hats and scarves, and when the cold wind blew, it made people want to escape back indoors.

The four cubs of the Gu family no longer went out, only willing to stay in the room.

Lin Zhao still had to go to work, and every day before going out, she had to fiercely envy the four cubs.

Yubao woke up early every day, supervised Mother to wear her hat and scarf well, and then brought a hot water bag, only then feeling at ease.

"Mother, go slowly on the road." He sat up from the bed and called out softly in a voice that had just woken up.

"Got it." Lin Zhao responded, walked to the bedside, rubbed the eldest cub's hair, "Watch the younger brother and sister, don't let them go out, only open the door when our own family comes..." She instructed the steady Yubao as usual.

Yubao nodded seriously, the stray hair on the top of his head bobbing.

Lin Zhao touched her son's warm little face.

"Too early, don't rush to get up, it's cold outside, wait until the sun comes out, breakfast is kept warm in the pot, be slow when stepping on the stool to get it, if something happens, let Seeing Da Huang call me."

Yes, Seeing Da Huang is very capable now, and can also do the job of calling people.
