Chapter 242: The Show-off King is here again, run!
"... She fell off a cliff and was gone." After all, they were husband and wife once, and Lin Shisheng's mood was complicated and hard to describe at this moment.
He really didn't have much affection for Qiulian, but she was the biological mother of his two daughters after all. No matter how much he resented her, he wouldn't wish for her to die.
Lin Shisheng rubbed his face hard, his voice low. "I don't even know... how to open my mouth to Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng."
"Just say it directly." Lin Zhao's tone was very calm.
"She wasn't good to the two children. Most of the grievances Xuanxuan suffered came from her. It's already considered sensible that the two children don't resent her."
Lin Shisheng was silent for a moment and sighed. "But after all, she's their biological mother."
Lin Zhao chuckled lightly, a trace of cold mockery flashing in the bottom of her eyes.
She couldn't forget the ending where Xuanxuan desperately lay on the tracks in the original book.
Qiulian had to bear at least more than half of the responsibility.
"When did she ever treat herself as the mother of the two children?"
Lin Zhao said one sentence after another, her words slightly cool.
"My two nieces haven't eaten the rice she fed, haven't worn the clothes she made, but instead suffered her beatings and scoldings. Our family's conditions aren't top-notch, but they aren't bad, right? Second Brother, look at what Xibao is like, and what Xuanxuan is like? I don't believe they can have many feelings for Qiulian."
It would be fine if there was no comparison with Xibao, but once there was a reference, Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng would always feel—their biological mother didn't like them.
Lin Shisheng looked at Lin Zhao helplessly.
He reached out and pinched her straight nose.
"Your words are too sharp."
One sentence after another, making him not know how to respond.
Lin Zhao patted away her second brother's hand, rubbed her nose, and snorted lightly.
She squinted at Lin Shisheng and asked with raised eyebrows: "Second Brother, you wouldn't have come to me specifically because you couldn't stay at home for such a small matter, would you?"
Lin Shisheng was choked speechless again.
If this were childhood, he would have scratched her itch, scratched until she begged for mercy!
Why were her words so annoying!
It's a pity that Zhaozhao is a big girl now, not even allowing them to call her "Lin Zhao Bao" anymore, and it's even more inconvenient for the siblings to have too intimate actions.
He had to pretend to be angry. "Look at what you're saying! Didn't I come to see you and my niece and nephew specifically before I go on a trip again? This trip will take a month or so."
Being annoyed by Qiulian's matter was one thing, but coming to see his sister and niece and nephew was also sincere.
"Are your injuries healed?" Lin Zhao asked with concern.
"Healed long ago." Lin Shisheng smiled and moved his arms. "Dad makes delicious food for me in various ways every day, those little injuries healed long ago."
He shook his arms, his movements flexible, looking completely healed.
"I'm so envious of you." Lin Zhao said sourly.
This reminded her of when she hadn't married yet. Every weekend when she went home, Dad would always make delicious food for her.
Of course, Qiulian would always glare at them, and mutter curses behind their backs.
However, after receiving a cold look of displeasure from her mother, she would temporarily settle down.
Lin Shisheng couldn't help but laugh. "If you want to eat, just go home, it's not like no one lets you go back."
Lin Zhao glared at him angrily. "You go to work for me!"
Lin Shisheng touched the tip of his nose.
"I didn't approve of you working before, and I approve of it even less now." He said seriously.
"Working is so tiring, and it's not free. Why don't you sell your job and focus on taking care of the four cubs at home. Don't be afraid of having no money to spend, Brother has a salary. I'll give you ten yuan a month, and the eldest, third, and fourth brothers will each give you ten yuan. Forty yuan a month, which is much more than what you earn at work!"
As he said this, he really took out two large denominations and stuffed them into Lin Zhao's hand.
"Here, take it, spend it." He raised his eyebrows, radiant. "Brother is also fulfilling his promise from before."
What promise from before?
Earn money for his sister to spend.
A few years ago, his life was a mess, and he couldn't give Zhaozhao much. Now that no one was managing him, and he earned a lot, no one could say anything about him stuffing pocket money to his sister!
Lin Zhao didn't stand on ceremony either, and smiled: "Thank you, Second Brother!"
Lin Shisheng was very proud and waved his hand freely.
"Why be polite with your own brother? I'm not like the eldest few, who forgot their own sister after getting married. Cut, I despise them from the bottom of my heart."
Lin Shichang and his brothers sneezed at the same time, feeling a chill for no reason.
Who was calculating him?
Lin Zhao said a fair word: "The eldest and the others are also quite good."
Her few brothers were all very good to her.
Even the fourth brother who had just been recognized was the same.
He was in the military region, his work was so busy, but he still mailed her packages several times.
The third brother didn't even need to be mentioned. Every few months there would be a package mailed, all local specialties, or things he felt he liked.
Lin Shisheng hummed. "You'll know later, I'm the second brother who is best to you."
What was he doing? Transport team! Running all over the province, what good things wouldn't he encounter? When he encountered them, he would bring them to Zhaozhao. He didn't believe he couldn't become the brother ranked first in Zhaozhao's heart.
Lin Zhao: What's there to roll about this.
"... Okay, I'll wait."
Lin Shisheng asked again: "When are you going home? Dad and Mom asked me to ask, they haven't seen you for a while, they miss you."
"I'll go back tomorrow." Lin Zhao replied.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell Dad and Mom, they'll definitely be happy." Lin Shisheng said.
After finishing speaking, he sighed lightly again. "It's a pity I'm going on a trip early tomorrow morning, you won't see me when you go home."
"So urgent..." Lin Zhao got up and walked into the room. "Second Brother, wait a moment, I have something for you."
Before long, she came out carrying something.
"What's all this?" Lin Shisheng asked while reaching out to take it.
Lin Zhao introduced them one by one.
"These are common medicines, for fever, for dysentery, for cough, for preventing mosquito bites, and for disinfection and sterilization..."
"Besides common medicines, there are also foods that can be stored for a long time. This noodle cake can be eaten dry. If there is hot water, you can soak it in hot water for two minutes, then add the seasoning packet, and the hot one can warm your body."
"This is a box of twists, sweet and salty, you can pad your stomach when you're hungry."
"And this thermos, it can keep hot water warm for a long time. With this... you don't have to worry about having no hot water to drink..."
She carefully explained the use of each item.
Lin Shisheng felt an unspeakable emotion welling up in his heart, his whole heart like being soaked in warm water, warm to the point of being unreasonable.
"Zhaozhao..." he called out moved.
Lin Zhao rolled her eyes at her second brother. "Enough, you just said siblings don't need to be polite, why are you so sentimental now! Do you want it or not, if you don't want it, give it back to me!"
Lin Shisheng hurriedly hugged the cloth bag tightly, his strong arm muscles bulging.
"I want it!" He said, smiling with a mouthful of white teeth. "Only a fool wouldn't want it."
"These things must be very hard to get, for sure. That thermos thing, I heard only big cities have it, you can't buy it even with money."
Lin Shisheng was a bit ashamed. "Zhaozhao, you must have spent a lot of money, Brother made you spend money."
The twenty he gave didn't count as a ball.
Still have to continue working hard!
Lin Zhao really didn't spend money, they were all drawn from the lottery.
The tasks of this lottery wheel were daily, and she had points coming in almost every day, ranging from a hundred or eighty to two or three hundred. Having saved for so long, the points had already exceeded ten thousand, and in the storage ring... there was everything messy.
"It's okay, didn't spend much."
Lin Shisheng only took these words as Zhaozhao comforting him, his expression even more moved.
Still had to be his Zhaozhao.
Holding the things, he left looking moved.
The cold wind blowing on his face didn't feel cold at all.
The next day.
The sky wasn't fully bright yet.
Lin Shisheng arrived at the transport team in high spirits.
He was now a regular employee of the transport team, walking with his chest held high, his feet growing wind, and that smug energy couldn't be hidden.
Wu Guodong and the three were moving goods, seeing their brother, Jianjun greeted from afar, "Lin Er!"
Lin Shisheng walked over quickly, the corners of his mouth grinning. "How is it? Are you used to it?"
The temporary job of moving goods was arranged by Lin Shisheng for his brothers. Although they could only work for two months, one could earn money, and two could gain knowledge, so the three were very happy and very grateful to this good brother of theirs.
Especially Wu Guodong and Jianjun.
They were from the same brigade as the Qiu family, and they had helped Lin Shisheng watch them before, helping his good brother divorce, and had been hated by the Qiu family. Later, the two families had torn with the Qiu family several times.
Both young men were loyal and didn't have a word of complaint, but their families were more or less dissatisfied.
However.
This resentment was eliminated by more than half after Lin Shisheng called them to work at the transport team.
The two families, who were originally a bit wilted, straightened their waists instantly, and even went specifically to the Qiu family's door to mock loudly, and finally fought. It was said that Old Lady Qiu's hair was pulled out in a tuft.
These were things that happened in the village. Wu Guodong and Jianjun didn't mention it to Lin Shisheng, and he didn't know.
Hearing Lin Shisheng's words, Wu Guodong answered loudly: "Used to it, what's there to be unused to.
We don't have anything else, just have a bit of strength. Carrying a hundred-jin grain bag is not a problem, moving goods is nothing, it's easy."
Jianjun smiled and punched Lin Shisheng on the shoulder. "Thanks, brother, this job is done with energy, hahaha."
Lin Shisheng returned him a punch and laughed along. "Work hard, there will be such good things in the future, I'll call you again."
Beside, the young man from the Dongfeng Production Brigade said: "Then I'll keep it in mind."
"Don't worry, you kid won't be missing!" Lin Shisheng answered.
He didn't forget the purpose of coming over.
He took out the thermos, shaking it proudly in his hand.
"Guess what this is?"
Wu Guodong and the three really didn't know.
They also didn't know the seriousness of the matter, didn't know how annoying and irritating it was for someone to show off.
"What is it?" Jianjun was curious.
"Can't you tell, it's a water bottle." Lin Shisheng's smugness was almost overflowing. "My sister saw that I was working hard following the car, so she bought it specifically to give to me!"
Jianjun: "..."
Wu Guodong: "..."
The young man from the Dongfeng Production Brigade grew up with Lin Zhao, so he naturally took the conversation: "It doesn't look cheap, Zhaozhao is really generous."
Lin Shisheng nodded heavily. "It's not cheap, this thing has a price but no market, it's hard to buy."
He didn't dare to mention that this water bottle kept warm very well, for fear of causing trouble.
The boiling water poured last night was still scalding this morning, no different from the thermos at home!
The young man knew best how to scratch his itch, and said again: "Shichang brother doesn't have one, right?"
"Tsk, Zhaozhao is still closest to you, the brother she trusts and likes the most is you."
Hearing this, Lin Shisheng's eyes moved, his eyes shining brightly.
"Must be." He deeply agreed.
"Zhaozhao does trust me the most, she talked about a partner... the first person she told was me."
Young man's inner heart: emmm
If he remembered correctly, Zhaozhao didn't want to say it, she was just bumped into by him, and had no choice but to say it.
And, Lin Er went to grab Zhaozhao's hand, and was almost beaten to the nose bridge by Zhaozhao's partner who didn't know what was going on.
Lin Shisheng hadn't shown off enough, and started showing off the medicines and food his sister prepared for him.
"Having a sister is good! Look at you guys, this is the medicine my Zhaozhao prepared for me, there is every kind of medicine, medicine is so expensive, she didn't even blink. And food, meat jerky, twists, my Zhaozhao is really willing to spend on me!"
Wu Guodong & Jianjun looked wooden.
The three looked at each other, pushed away Lin Shisheng who wouldn't stop showing off, each picked up the torn towel hanging around their necks to wipe their sweat, and continued to move goods.
They didn't have such a capable sister, they could buy it themselves with their own money!
Never seen anyone who could show off more than Lin Er, annoying!
Lin Shisheng didn't care about their terrible reaction, only taking it as them envying him.
He carried the things happily, hummed an ugly tune, and went to bother the driving master.
After this experience, as long as the people of the transport team saw Lin Shisheng shaking things from afar, they would find various excuses to escape.
——The Show-off King is here again, run!
After the sun came out, Lin Zhao put hats and scarves on the children, fully armed, before taking the four cubs back to her maiden home.
She rode a bicycle carrying the dragon-phoenix pair, and Gu Qingzhou borrowed the Brigade Captain's bicycle to carry Yubao and Hengbao.
"Going to see Grandma and Grandpa!!" Hengbao sat on the front beam, excited and shouting.
As a result, the cold wind poured into his throat, choking him into a fierce cough.
"Cough cough cough..."
Lin Zhao frowned and reminded: "Hengbao, wrap your mouth with a scarf, don't speak loudly, don't choke on the wind again."
He was sitting in front with no cover, if he opened his mouth, he would definitely choke on the wind.
Don't look at the sun coming out now, the wind is very cold.
"I know!" Hengbao obediently surrounded his mouth with a scarf, wrapping his whole face tightly.
He was wearing a black cotton coat that went over his knees, styled like a small wool coat, and it was double-breasted. Inside, he wore a warm sweater, looking extra spirited and cute.
On his head was a black wool hat, setting off his little face clean and handsome, a little boy who would make anyone's eyes light up.
Lin Zhao loved to dress up, and her four cubs were always tidied up by her, stylish and cute.
Gu Qingzhou was silent all the way, sent his nephew to the entrance of the Dongfeng Production Brigade village, made an appointment for the time to pick them up, didn't even enter the village, and rode back to the brigade.
Dadans and the others knew their aunt was coming back, so they waited at the village entrance early.
Seeing them, they ran over.
"Aunt, Yubao, Hengbao... you're here, are you cold? Go home first, Aunt, I'll push the bike." Dadan took over Lin Zhao's bicycle, pushed Seeing Qian Bao and Yaobao, and walked toward home with big strides.
Lin Er Dan made faces on the side.
Yaobao giggled.
She was wearing a red cotton coat, a matching wool hat on her head, her little face white with red, her eyes curved when she smiled, sweet enough to melt people's hearts.
"Yaobao is beautiful again." Lin Er Dan praised.
Yaobao heard she was praised, took a small cookie out of her pocket, and gave it to him.
Lin Er Dan took it and asked in surprise: "For me?"
Yaobao's long eyelashes trembled lightly, she turned her face away, not looking at her.
Lin Zhao pinched the wool ball on her daughter's hat. "Yaobao gave Lin Er Dan brother a cookie, so generous."
Little Yaobao covered her face with her fleshy little hands, peeking at her mother through her fingers, like playing hide-and-seek.
"Yaobao is so fun." Xibao exclaimed.
Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng nodded, all wanting to touch Yaobao's face.
The group soon returned to the Lin family.
Chen Yu's belly was very big. Seeing her little sister-in-law bring the children back, she stood up.
"Zhaozhao is back."
Xibao's eyes were nervous, and she rushed over to support her. "Mom, don't get up."
"It's okay." Chen Yu looked at the little housekeeper helplessly. "I've given birth to two, I know the importance, don't be too nervous." ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
