Chapter 303: New brain is a bit laggy

~14 min read 2,746 words

Gu Hangbao looked at his Little Uncle for help.

He was clever and knew his brother couldn't protect him.

"Hurry up and admit your mistake!" Meng Jiusi patted his nephew's head and said disapprovingly: "Your mother was so anxious when she learned you were injured and came to the hospital. How can a child climb a tree? You're lucky; what if there were stones or branches under the tree and you poked your head or eyes?"

Gu Hangbao had long regretted it, drooping his head listlessly, "I know I was wrong, Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disobeyed you, and I shouldn't have disobeyed my brother. I accept the punishment; don't be angry with me."

Xiang Yubao was also afraid his mother would be angry, moving his small steps to Lin Zhao.

"I was also wrong; I didn't hold onto my brother, Mom, I also accept the punishment."

Lin Zhao rubbed the eldest cub's hair, "It has nothing to do with you; you definitely tried to persuade your brother, but he didn't listen to you."

Xiang Yubao's eyes widened.

"Why are you so surprised? You were born by me; what kind of personality you have, how could I not know?" Lin Zhao laughed.

Xiang Yubao looked at his brother and didn't say anything; this was an admission.

"Mom, I didn't hold onto Gu Hangbao," he said with a tone full of guilt.

"I know," Lin Zhao hugged the eldest cub, "Don't think too much; your brother is mischievous, it has nothing to do with you. Your father and I are not unreasonable parents; we won't lose our temper randomly."

Xiang Yubao wasn't worried about this; he looked at Gu Hangbao's foot, which was wrapped very large, with worry, "Gu Hangbao can't walk anymore."

"It just so happens to let him calm down; I saw he was playing crazy before," Lin Zhao said indifferently.

It was also strange; she felt before that if he kept playing like this, something would go wrong sooner or later.

Look.

Now it's fine.

Gu Hangbao shouted aggrievedly: "Mom~!!"

Lin Zhao glanced at him indifferently and hardened her heart, ignoring him.

Xiao Bai, sitting in the corner, dangled his short legs and said in a milky voice: "Little Aunt is angry with Gu Hangbao brother."

He looked at Gu Hangbao, his pink and tender face solemn. "Gu Hangbao brother, you didn't listen to the adults."

One sentence made Gu Hangbao want to bury his head in the quilt.

He muttered in a low voice, "I know I was wrong..."

Looking at the foot wrapped tightly by his Little Uncle, Gu Hangbao reached out to Lin Zhao, his gaze pleading, "Mom, I truly know I was wrong! I will never climb trees again, I swear."

When speaking, he raised three fingers, making a gesture to swear.

Lin Zhao pinched his hand and put it down, "Take good care of it at home next, I'll stew a pig's trotter for you tomorrow."

Jing Mo laughed out loud, "Eat what you need to supplement; Gu Hangbao, you must eat it all obediently."

Gu Hangbao said with a grin: "Definitely, I will definitely eat it all, eat a big bowl!"

Lin Zhao felt sticky on her body, her brows knitted unconsciously. Looking down, there was a small handprint on her light-colored top.

"Gu Zhihang, did you not wipe your hands?" she said with forbearance, wanting to beat the child a little.

The child with the hanging foot quickly retracted his hand, his eyes flickering, not daring to look up at the "victim," his words innocent, "Don't know..."

Lin Zhao couldn't stand the sticky feeling, picked up her hem, and went to the bathroom to clean up.

Just as she left, Gu Chenghuai, who learned the news, ran over.

The man's expression was serious and stern, his whole body exuding a detachment that kept strangers away. He walked with long strides and went straight to the ward where his son was.

After entering, seeing Gu Hangbao in good condition, his brows relaxed, and he asked Meng Jiusi, "What's the situation?"

Meng Jiusi replied, "Foot sprained, nothing serious."

The father let go of his heart, discovered he didn't see his wife, and asked again: "Where is Zhao Zhao?"

Xiang Yubao said: "My mom went to the bathroom."

Gu Chenghuai nodded and asked again: "Did your mom cry?"

"Dad, are you trying to ask if I cried?" Gu Hangbao thought his dad asked wrong and bubbled up.

Gu Chenghuai glanced at him indifferently, his black eyes deep, unable to see his emotions, making people feel afraid for no reason.

Gu Hangbao shrank his head, nervous to the point of stuttering, "Dad, Dad, I'm a patient, you can't hit me..."

Gu Chenghuai's mouth hooked slightly, squeezing a sentence between his teeth, "There will be a time when you're healed."

The meaning was very clear; he couldn't escape a beating.

Gu Hangbao was so clever; how could he not hear his own father's threat? His small shoulders collapsed, like dogtail grass blown by the wind and rain, wilted, without any spirit.

Lin Zhao cleaned her clothes and returned to the ward, noticing the atmosphere was strange, and spoke: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Gu Chenghuai replied.

"Criticized your son?" Lin Zhao guessed.

Gu Hangbao nodded like pounding garlic, hmm-ing twice, "Dad said wait until my foot is healed, then hit me."

Lin Zhao shrugged, saying helplessly: "Your dad is educating you; I won't interfere, so... it's useless to tell me."

"Mom~~" Gu Hangbao knew that only Mom could save him from being punished at this time, putting his hands together, looking at her pitifully, his tone carrying small waves.

He was still just a child; he didn't feel embarrassed at all about acting like a spoiled brat to avoid punishment.

"Acting like a spoiled brat is useless too," Lin Zhao smiled gently.

Knowing it was useless to beg anyone, Gu Hangbao almost shed tears of regret. Why did he climb the tree?

Speaking of climbing trees, he remembered the excitement in the family compound and hurriedly urged Xiang Yubao, "Brother, the excitement hasn't been watched yet; you guys hurry and go watch, then come back and tell me."

The last sentence was as regrettable as it could be.

Hearing this, Lin Zhao pinched her brows, her words helpless, "Gu Hangbao, you've become like this, and you're still thinking about watching the excitement. Do you believe I'll let your dad hang you on a tree and let you watch enough?"

Gu Hangbao thought to himself that it wasn't impossible, but the child who had already made a mistake didn't dare to challenge his parents' patience.

"No need, no need," he waved his hand.

"Why are you so fond of watching excitement... I didn't see it back in the old home," Lin Zhao muttered.

"Other people's excitement can be not watched, but that family's must be watched!" Gu Hangbao's volume increased, his tone indignant.

Xiang Yubao agreed with his brother's words and said immediately: "Gu Hangbao, I'll go inquire later, and tell you when I find out."

"Hmm!" Gu Hangbao nodded heavily.

Thinking that his plan had no chance to be implemented, he felt annoyed in his heart and also felt it was a pity, "Hey, my foot sprained at a really bad time; I also wanted to throw dung balls at them; it's pissing me off!"

Lin Zhao: "??"

Hmm?

What did she hear?!

"Gu Hangbao, what did you say you wanted to do?"

Lice are not itchy when there are many; Gu Hangbao felt he was going to be beaten anyway, so his courage was bigger than the sky, saying again: "Want to throw dung balls at that family of bad guys!"

He raised his head and said righteously: "Who told them to bully my mom? Anyone who bullies my mom must be unlucky!"

The child's heart of knowing how to protect his mother was understandable and also heartwarming, but...

"You can skip watching the excitement of other families, but you can't skip that family's!" Gu Hangbao raised his volume, his tone indignant.

"Adults' affairs, adults will handle; children just need to grow up happily. Did you forget everything I said?"

No wonder the little guy made the outrageous move of climbing a tree today. She just said it wasn't worth it just to watch the excitement; so that was it.

Gu Hangbao hammered the bed, letting out a violent roar, "I didn't forget! I don't allow anyone to bully Mom!"

"Gu Zhihang, why are you so loud? Listen to your mom..." Gu Chenghuai spoke up.

Lin Zhao looked over and shook her head slightly at the man. She looked at Gu Hangbao with a gentle expression, her voice light and slow, "Gu Hangbao knows how to protect Mom; I feel warm in my heart and have a kind of pride that can't be described, but baby, you are still small, not even ten years old. Adults' affairs, we adults will solve; wait until you grow into a big guy before thinking about protecting Mom, agree?"

Gu Hangbao wanted to say he didn't agree, but Mom called him baby, and it was such a gentle voice.

The child's new brain was a bit laggy.

"... Agree." Gu Hangbao looked at Lin Zhao's expectant gaze, his emotions stabilized, and he nodded after all.

Lin Zhao extended her right hand, raised her little finger, and used the way children like to make a promise, "If you agree, let's hook fingers."

Gu Hangbao also raised his finger, hooked it with Mom's, muttering "hook fingers, hanging..." and finally pressed his thumb on Lin Zhao's thumb.

"Then let Dad protect you first; wait until I grow up... I can protect Mom well," Gu Hangbao said stubbornly.

Xiang Yubao saw his brother forgot him and hurriedly said: "I can also protect Mom!"

Gu Hangbao hurriedly said: "Right, there's also Brother; Brother and I can both protect Mom."

"You are both my good sons," Lin Zhao hugged her two filial good sons, beaming with joy.

Gu Chenghuai, who hadn't spoken much, raised his mouth.

As expected, his wife knows how to educate children.

The hospital was busy. After Gu Chenghuai came, Meng Jiusi went to work and came back after finishing.

Seeing his figure, Lin Zhao smiled: "Little Brother, we have Gu Hangbao; you go do your work, no need to come often."

Meng Jiusi put down the ointment and shook his head with a smile, "Nothing, it's on the way."

He didn't say he was afraid his brother-in-law would hit Gu Hangbao.

"This is the ointment," Meng Jiusi pointed to the ointment he brought and said to Gu Chenghuai: "You can take Gu Hangbao back; it's not good for children to stay in the hospital for a long time. I'll come to the door to change his dressing tomorrow morning."

Lin Zhao knew her brother had been busy flying recently, so she said immediately: "How to change it, Little Brother, tell me, I'll do it."

"I'll do it, how to change it?" Gu Chenghuai said.

He could apply medicine to himself, no matter how rough he was, but his son was as weak as a small chick; he was afraid that if his strength was too great, he would crush him, so no amount of caution was too much.

Meng Jiusi didn't say, "Anyway, I have to exercise early in the morning; it's on the way."

Hearing him say so, the couple didn't say anything polite again.

"Gu Hangbao, pay attention to your foot at night, don't bump it, and don't use force," Meng Jiusi exhorted Gu Hangbao, "If there is any discomfort, let your dad hold you and find me."

Gu Hangbao said crisply: "Got it."

His foot was treated by Meng Jiusi. When Little Uncle touched it lightly, he felt it didn't hurt so much; his Little Uncle was truly a divine doctor.

Thinking this in his heart, the child praised him with a worshipful look, "Little Uncle, are you a divine doctor? You are so amazing; my foot originally hurt very, very much, hurt so much that I felt... the bones inside were broken, but you moved it lightly, and I immediately didn't hurt anymore. You are so amazing! My Little Uncle is a divine doctor! I, Gu Hangbao, am truly lucky to have a divine doctor Little Uncle!"

His words were beautiful and sincere, straightforward enough to make people unable to help but laugh.

Meng Jiusi's tone was dyed with a smile, his voice clear and warm, "Divine doctor is not yet; I will work hard and strive to become a divine doctor as soon as possible."

Gu Hangbao widened his eyes, with a complex expression of "you are being modest," "Little Uncle, you are too modest!"

That complex tone made Lin Zhao laugh.

"Gu Hangbao, you speak so funnily."

Gu Hangbao was stunned; why was his speech funny?

Forget it, it's worth it to make Mom happy.

Meng Jiusi picked up Gu Hangbao, Xiang Yubao took the ointment, and the family left the hospital.

Returning to the family compound, many people asked with concern.

"Is Gu Hangbao okay? Sister Lin, talk to the child well, don't get angry. He suffered such a disaster; he will know not to climb trees in the future. You and Battalion Commander Gu don't hit the child; the little guy is still injured..." This was conquered by the twins' sweet mouths.

"Look, this is the end of climbing trees; will you climb trees in the future? If you get hurt, our family doesn't have money to send you to the hospital." This was using Gu Hangbao as a negative example.

"Why is this foot wrapped like this! Sister Lin, be alert at night, don't let the child bump the injury."

"Oh, suffered a big crime, poor little guy."

There were people in the family compound whose character wasn't that good, but more were ordinary enthusiastic people.

Seeing Gu Hangbao's miserable appearance, they didn't spare their concern.

Lin Zhao thanked the sisters-in-law and briefly said a few words about Gu Hangbao's situation. Hearing that the child was fine, the enthusiastic military wives let go of their hearts and were happy for the child and the Gu family.

"It's fine as long as it's fine, it's fine as long as it's fine."

"You guys hurry back, Sister Lin, come to the house to visit another day."

"Yes, yes, that's my vegetable garden; if the family is short of any vegetables, go pick them yourself," the generous military wife pointed to her own reserved land, her face overflowing with enthusiastic smiles.

Another person joked with a smile, "Yo, so generous, my family is short of two eggplants, can I go pick them?"

The sister-in-law who spoke said "go, go, go" three times, "What are you joining in the fun for? Sister Lin's reserved land hasn't been tidied up yet; hasn't yours been tidied up? You're everywhere."

The sister-in-law who joked cried fake tears, "Look, only see the new person laugh, who hears the old person cry."

Lin Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, and also felt the liveliness of the family compound. ===== CHAPTER 304 =====

There are people in the family compound whose character isn't that good, but most are ordinary, warm-hearted people.

Seeing Gu Hangbao's miserable appearance, none of them were stingy with their concern.

Lin Zhao thanked the sisters-in-law and briefly explained Gu Hangbao's situation. Hearing that the child was fine, the warm-hearted military wives felt relieved and were happy for both the child and the Gu family.

"As long as he's fine, as long as he's fine."

"You guys hurry back, Lin Meizi, come over to visit another day."

"That's right, that's right, that's my vegetable patch. Whatever vegetables you're missing at home, just go pick them yourself." The generous military wife pointed to her own private plot, her face beaming with a warm smile.

Another person smiled and teased, "Oh, so generous. My family is missing two eggplants, can I go pick them?"

The sister-in-law who was speaking said "go, go, go" three times in a row, "Why are you joining in the fun? Lin Meizi's private plot hasn't been tidied up yet, and yours hasn't been tidied up either? You're everywhere."

The sister-in-law who was teasing pretended to cry, "Look, one only sees the new person smile, who hears the old person cry."

Lin Zhao was between laughter and tears, also feeling the liveliness of the family compound.
