Chapter 294: Get to the point!

Lin Zhao brought out the universal phrase, "Adult matters, children don't ask."

Gu Hangbao laughed, "Mother, in the future when you ask me questions, I can also say: Child matters, adults don't ask."

Gu Chenghuai supported his wife, "Gu Zhiheng! How are you talking to your mother!!"

Gu Hangbao pouted, his little face full of dissatisfaction.

His personality was quite like his own father's, born with a stubborn streak.

Lin Zhao pinched her second son's little mouth, "Are you angry?"

The child instantly bloomed with a smile, waved his hand, and said loudly, "Generous children don't get angry at adults."

"Wow, what a generous child." Lin Zhao coaxed him.

Xiang Yubao pulled the topic back, "Mother, what is a fox spirit?"

"...??" Lin Zhao was full of confusion, "Why are you asking this?"

"Lu Baozhen's grandma said Lu Baozhen's stepmother is a fox spirit, what is a fox spirit?" Xiang Yubao asked again.

He wasn't easy to brush off like the thick-nerved Gu Hangbao, so Lin Zhao couldn't help but be a bit more serious about the questions he raised.

"This... fox spirit isn't a good word, you and Gu Hangbao shouldn't learn it."

Gu Hangbao said cleverly: "Like the 'dog-day' one, right?"

Lin Zhao's mind went blank for a few seconds, her smile disappeared, and she shouted for his father, "Gu Chenghuai! Can you control your son!!"

Gu Chenghuai hurried out, holding an enamel mug, "What's wrong, drink some water first. Which one, Xiang Yubao or Gu Hangbao, is being naughty? Tell me, and I'll hang them on a tree and beat them."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Hangbao hugged his leg.

"Dad, Dad, I'm your biological son!" He knew his father was serious, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.

Lin Zhao said: "Your son is using dirty language, you control him."

"I knew it was you, you naughty boy." Gu Chenghuai picked up Gu Hangbao by the waist and walked into the room.

Not long after, the sound of a child howling rang out.

"Ouch, it hurts! My butt!! Woo woo woo, I'm going to tell my grandma! Grandma, your son is beating your precious grandson..."

One sound was louder than the next.

The howling was very fake.

Even Xiang Yubao wasn't fooled.

As the older brother, he wanted to explain one, two, three, four for his brother to his mother, but didn't know how to say it, so he was embarrassed, his little face turning red.

"Why are you blushing?" Lin Zhao asked amusedly.

Xiang Yubao shyly buried his little face in her chest and whispered: "Gu Hangbao's howling is really exaggerated."

"Let's save face for your brother, just pretend we didn't notice."

Xiang Yubao looked up, curved his eyes, and had a little secret joy of having the same secret as his mother, "Okay."

In a while, Gu Chenghuai walked out, putting down his shirt sleeves in a decent manner, as if he had used great force to really discipline his son.

"I've disciplined the second one, I guarantee he won't dare to do it again." He said to Lin Zhao.

Then he looked at Xiang Yubao again, "The same goes for you, be filial to the mother who raised you with such hardship, be polite, why are you being so choking when you talk."

Xiang Yubao stood obediently, "I know."

After the father stated his attitude, he turned and entered the kitchen; he was boiling hot water, and didn't know if the fire under the stove had gone out.

Lin Zhao just felt: It's really worry-free to have his father discipline the children.

At this time, Gu Hangbao walked out, holding his butt and limping.

Just looking at this appearance, it really looked like he had been beaten.

For a moment, Lin Zhao even doubted whether Gu Chenghuai had really used heavy hands.

"Does it hurt?" Lin Zhao pulled Gu Hangbao over.

The little guy bared his teeth and hissed a few times, "It hurts."

"Let me see..." Lin Zhao wanted to pull his pants, but Gu Hangbao hurriedly jumped away, his movements agile, not at all like someone who had been beaten.

Realizing his reaction was a bit big, Gu Hangbao hurriedly reduced the range of his movements, secretly peeked at his mother, and whispered: "It's numb, hehe."

His father made a big commotion, but didn't use much force, it didn't hurt at all, he just stared at him, making his heart thump, so he hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Will you use dirty language in the future?" Lin Zhao just pretended not to see the act put on by the father and son; her purpose was just to teach the children.

Children this small learn dirty language much faster than they learn; if you're not careful, the habit of having a mouth full of dirty language will be formed!

She had seen it.

Children who are full of dirty language seem to have their childhood innocence and cuteness fade a lot, making people unable to like them.

"I won't say it anymore." Gu Hangbao thought of his father's eyes staring at him and shook his head like a rattle.

He lowered his head and said somewhat depressingly: "I know children can't use dirty language, but sometimes I can't control it, it just rolls out of my mouth by itself."

Lin Zhao was silent for a moment, "That's because you watch too much fun in your spare time, watch less fun in the future, learn from your brother... read more books, and you won't spit out dirty language."

She reached out to wipe the water off her son's face, "Not steady at all, I don't know who you take after, you worry-free child, if you use dirty language again, I'll have your father use real force."

"Understood!" Gu Hangbao responded.

After responding, he suddenly sighed and said very distressingly: "Why does Dad listen to you so much..."

"..." Xiang Yubao looked at his brother speechlessly, "Because Mom is the boss of our family."

"When can I be the boss, after I marry a wife?!" Gu Hangbao wasn't satisfied with his current family status and wanted to stir up trouble again.

Lin Zhao was dying of laughter, "Didn't you say marrying a wife costs a lot of money, you don't want one, why do you want one again?"

"I want to be the boss!" The little child's crisp voice rang out.

"After you marry a wife, the boss of your small family will be your wife, not you." Lin Zhao lightly shattered the second cub's expectations.

This possibility was quite high, after all, his grandpa, his father, and his uncles were all like this.

Gu Hangbao's expression cracked, "???"

"... Then forget it."

He left dejectedly.

Lin Zhao was full of question marks, "What's wrong with your brother? Did he get hit?!"

Is it worth it?!

"His heart is bitter because he can't be the boss, I'll coax him in a while and he'll be fine." Xiang Yubao looked at his brother's back, answering seriously and calmly.

Lin Zhao beamed, "Then... thank you to my eldest son."

Xiang Yubao showed shyness, "It's not hard."

On the other side.

The military district where Lin Shifan and his comrades were located received a thank-you letter.

The letter was written with special sincerity and was even read out by the leader, which made the two young officers who were completely unprepared blush.

"Lin Shifan, Xu Jian, you two are good ones, you didn't lose the face of our military district when you went out! People's soldiers should be like this, active, taking the initiative, solving the difficulties of the masses!"

Listening to Old Fan's words, the two praised young men looked at each other, neither of them could laugh.

For them, helping on the train was just something done casually, there was really nothing to talk about.

Besides, their comrades were all like this.

Old Fan praised a few more words before letting Lin Shifan and Xu Jian leave.

The two walked out of the leader's office, and Xu Jian looked at Lin Shifan, "You said we didn't even say our address, how did that female comrade know... we were from this military district?"

Lin Shifan had received his sister's letter in advance and said: "That female comrade wrote a letter to ask my sister, and my sister told her."

"Oh." Xu Jian suddenly realized.

Speaking of his sister, his eyes flickered a few times, his shoulder nudged slightly, bumping into Lin Shifan's arm, his words fawning, "Does our sister have any more things sent over?"

Lin Shifan looked at him, "Greedy?"

"Could I ask if I wasn't greedy?" Xu Jian felt this person was really something, but there was no way, the one with food in his hands was the boss, his face was piled with smiles, "I'll buy a few big white steamed buns, you take out the meat sauce our sister sent, shall we have a meal together?"

"Let's go."

Xu Jian was extremely happy, "Brother, Brother Lin, you are still the generous one!"

Lin Shifan: "Promising."

After showing disgust, he added: "If you want to eat, just say it, why be so coy, not straightforward at all."

Hearing this, Xu Jian said impolitely: "You said it, you have to share a bottle with me!"

Lin Shifan looked over, "You kid really knows how to push your luck."

"You said it!" Xu Jian stared at him.

Lin Shifan said: "Fine, I'll share with you. Keep it a secret, otherwise the few bottles I saved won't be saved."

Xu Jian's eyes brightened when he heard there were still a few bottles.

Seeing the change in his eyes, Lin Shifan said: "I'll only share one bottle with you, don't think about more, I still have to rely on those few bottles of meat sauce to miss my hometown."

Xu Jian's expression was sour, "That's enough, who in our regiment doesn't know our sister sends you things every few days."

Lin Shifan held his head high and chest out, "No way, my sister is just that good."

After saying this, he gave Xu Jian a punch, "That's my sister, don't keep saying our sister our sister all day, it's really annoying."

Xu Jian hurriedly dodged his blow, "What's the use of telling me, those people all say that, can you block my mouth, can you block everyone's mouth?"

Lin Shifan looked over.

Xu Jian ate the food and had a short mouth, made a gesture of closing his mouth, "I'm going to the cafeteria to get steamed buns! You wait for me!"

Lin Shifan returned to the dormitory and started writing a letter to Lin Zhao.

The letter said he received the thank-you letter, was praised by the leader, asked how she was, how Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao were, if the visit was smooth, if anyone with no eyes bullied them, told her... if there's anything unhappy, go find Gu Chenghuai and Little Four, if these two don't control it, tell him, he still has a few days of leave, he can make it in time...

Knowing Lin Zhao was visiting relatives, he sent the letter urgently.

Not long after, Lin Zhao received the letter.

When picking up the letter, there happened to be a phone call from her hometown.

Lin Zhao and Gu Chenghuai looked at each other, seeing solemnity in each other's eyes.

At their age, they were most afraid of receiving news from their hometown without warning.

This inevitably made people's hearts tighten.

"Let's go see." Gu Chenghuai said steadily.

He held Lin Zhao's hand to answer the phone.

During the transfer process, the couple's hearts were hanging.

"Nothing happened, right?" Lin Zhao frowned.

"Stay calm, we'll know in a moment." Gu Chenghuai held his wife's hand tightly and comforted her gently.

He stood tall and straight, wearing a military uniform, his eyes filled with the calmness of Mount Tai collapsing without changing color, as if like a high mountain, no matter what happened, he could hold it up.

Lin Zhao was infected by him, and her heart gradually settled down.

The two minutes passed exceptionally slowly.

As if after several hours had passed, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Gu Chenghuai said: "Big sister, it's me."

"Chenghuai? Is it Chenghuai?" Gu Chan's excited loud voice rang out, the sound coming through the phone a bit distorted, she wasn't sure if the person on the other side was her third brother.

"It's me."

Gu Chan said quickly: "How is Zhaozhao? Is she and the two cubs okay?! It's your wife's first time visiting relatives, you should pay more attention, protect her, don't let Zhaozhao be bullied!"

"Everything is fine at home, Qian Bao and Yao Bao are also fine, eating well, sleeping well, don't worry."

Hearing this, the couple's tightened hearts relaxed.

It's good that nothing happened, it scared them to death!

Lin Zhao's voice was soft and brisk, "Big sister, we are fine too, just a little bit missing you."

The corners of Gu Chan's mouth lifted involuntarily, turning into a pout.

She was embarrassed to say such cheesy words, so she just said: "I miss you too. You taking Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao to follow the army, I'm not used to it..."

Wei Xiangdong poked her shoulder and reminded her in a low voice, "Get to the point, the phone bill will scare people to death."

"Oh oh, get to the point... I have to get to the point." Gu Chan reacted, making the call was for serious business, "Chenghuai, Zhaozhao, your brother-in-law and I specifically called, there's something we want to ask you."

Lin Zhao was confused, "What is it, tell me."

Gu Chan said: "A while ago the factory held a sports meet, our cafeteria also had to send people, I'm a newcomer, I received this task... you know, besides being quick at work, I don't know anything, I was so worried, fortunately I saw there was a table tennis competition, I know a little about this thing, doesn't Little Stone play well, later guess what happened..."

Wei Xiangdong listened to his wife not getting to the point for a long time, helplessness flashed in his eyes, looking so foolishly at A Chan's smiling face, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Zhao cooperated and said: "What happened later? Big sister, you've learned to be bad, you even know how to sell suspense."

Gu Chan's face flushed.

Immediately after, her happy voice rang out, "Later Little Stone took first place!"

"The most happy thing isn't this, there's a person specifically engaged in table tennis competitions, said he's some kind of coach, he took a fancy to our Little Stone, said he wants to take our Little Stone to the provincial capital for training!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhao was happy first, "Really? This is a good thing, our Little Stone can finally get his wish and have someone specifically teach him!"

Then she was afraid there was fraud in this matter, so she said: "Big sister, what's that person's name, have you seen the introduction letter, I'll have Chenghuai check to see if there is such a person."

Although people now are simple and sincere, and don't have so many twists and turns in their stomachs, but it concerns a child's whole life, so being cautious is not too much.

Gu Chan's heart was warm, feeling indescribably comforted.

"Zhaozhao, you have heart. I made this call specifically for this meaning, this matter really has to trouble Chenghuai, your brother-in-law and I haven't been out of our place, when we encounter things we really go blind."

"Big sister, you are Gu Chenghuai's biological sister, if you have something to find him, he definitely has to pay attention." Lin Zhao said.

Gu Chan thought it was different, the brother is married, after all it's different from when they were small, can't be too righteous, it hurts feelings.

Which girl in the village isn't water thrown out?

Her situation is considered good, she is very content.

Lin Zhao gave the phone to Gu Chenghuai, "You talk to big sister."

The tall and straight young man took the phone.

Don't know what was said on the other side, he smiled, his voice firm and powerful, "This person is no problem, I've inquired about him before."

It's his biological nephew's matter, how could he not pay attention?

He knows all the table tennis coaches in the country.

The name big sister mentioned is precisely one of the best among them, the person is also an upright one, hates that set of fawning and flattering the most, and also loves talent.

It's not impossible for him to take a fancy to Little Stone.

"Chenghuai, you mean... can Little Stone go?" Gu Chan's mood was complicated, happy for her son, but reluctance spread in her heart.

Her Little Stone is only that small...

"If it is indeed him." Gu Chenghuai said.

"What did the other party say?" ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
