Chapter 306: Visit

Zhang Ping's man was completely broken, stood up abruptly, his eyes wide, his face violent and fierce, "Zhang Ping!"

"What?" Zhang Ping's voice was even louder than his.

Bai Taohua was driven away. She wasn't that she hadn't thought about breaking the ice with her man and living a good life, but she didn't expect this person to say such things about her.

Her heart turned cold.

Married for many years, she managed the family, gave birth to children for him, was filial to his parents, and he said she was petty, calculating, and not gentle and understanding?!

Heh.

Heh heh.

Looking at the man with disappointment, Zhang Ping turned and went back to the room.

That look made the man feel blocked in his heart. He kicked the stool in annoyance and left in anger.

"Scared, I'm scared," Chou Ding's pitch-black eyes were dyed with moisture.

"Don't be scared, Dad is gone, he won't shout anymore," Zhang Ping's eldest daughter hugged her younger brother and coaxed him in a low voice.

She looked outside the door, and a hatred that was not easily detected appeared in the depths of her eyes.

Compared to her father, the girl hated Bai Taohua more. She remembered very clearly that before Bai Taohua inserted herself into her family, although her father and mother would also quarrel, it wasn't as serious as it was now.

The home before was a home; the home now is a cage.

"Sister, I hate Auntie Bai," Zhang Ping's second son clenched his fists and said hatefully, "I also hate Dad."

He hated his father for being partial, smiling at Bai Taohua's two daughters and having no patience for them.

He hated his father's bad temper, losing his temper with Mom at every turn.

He also hated that his father clearly didn't give Mom much money, but always questioned why Mom's money went down so fast...

"I hate it too," Zhang Ping's eldest daughter also said.

The boy looked at his sister, hesitated for several seconds, and asked tanglingly, "Sister, do you think Mom and Dad will make up?"

His sister was silent.

She had been to school and knew many principles; she wasn't an ignorant little girl who didn't understand anything. She knew what principles "spilled water is hard to collect" and "broken mirrors are hard to round" meant.

Dad and Mom would not make up again.

"Sister, is Mom crying secretly again? You go into the room and coax Mom," the boy said.

Zhang Ping's husband's family and the man she married were all patriarchal. She wasn't like that herself. Compared to her son, she was more tolerant toward her daughters. No matter how bitter her heart was, she wouldn't be like other women who didn't treat daughters as human beings, so her son suggested his sister go into the room.

"Let Mom be quiet; let's tidy up the house. The house is clean, and Mom will be happy when she sees it."

"Deal."

Thus, Zhang Ping's children took action. After getting busy, the stuffiness in their hearts slowly dissipated, and their moods all became better.

After Zhang Ping came out, seeing the clean courtyard, the dripping clothes on the clothesline, the children doing homework obediently... her heart, which was disappointed to the extreme with the marriage, suddenly cracked a seam, as if light was shooting in.

She hugged several daughters, tears gushing out, but smiling with relief.

"Mom has you... there's nothing I can't endure."

Zhang Ping's eldest daughter also shed tears, her voice choked, "Mom, I will study hard in the future, take the junior high school entrance exam, go to high school, find a good job when I grow up, and give all my salary to you, so you never have to look at Dad's face again."

Zhang Ping's expression was shaken.

Even the child knew that she had to look at people's faces to live!

That man, he didn't even pretend.

She pulled out a powerless bitter smile, unable to squeeze a dry word from her throat.

The boy felt the moisture dripping on his neck. He knew what this was, just pretending not to know anything.

"Mom, you wait for me, in a few years, I will be an adult, and when I am an adult, I can support you. By then, I won't let others bully you."

The child's clear, tender voice was full of solemnity.

This sentence could heal Zhang Ping's scarred heart.

"Good, Mom is waiting."

The family didn't mention the man again and lived their own small lives.

Zhang Ping was even more indifferent to the man. When he came back, she fulfilled her duties as a wife, washing clothes and cooking, but wanted more? Sorry, she didn't have the heart.

Next day, morning.

Meng Jiusi brought breakfast to the door to change Gu Hangbao's dressing.

"Is the foot uncomfortable? Eat first or change the dressing first?" As soon as he entered the children's room, he asked first.

Only to see Gu Hangbao stretching his arms toward him.

"Little Uncle, I want to go to the toilet!" He clamped his legs, his words urgent, very anxious.

Meng Jiusi put down the things, walked toward the bunk bed, picked up his nephew, and walked quickly outside.

"Hold it in, don't pull it on me."

Gu Hangbao choked and said loudly: "I'm a small number; I won't pull it on you! I'm already six years old, not Qian Bao."

Meng Jiusi smiled, "Qian Bao is more sensible than you."

"This is called having personality!" Gu Hangbao's mouth was very capable of babbling, "Among our three brothers, two obedient ones are enough. There must be one like me in the family; otherwise, how much fun would Mom lose."

Meng Jiusi: Actually speechless.

"... Twisted logic."

Gu Hangbao shook his small head, quite proudly, "Twisted logic is also logic."

While speaking, the uncle and nephew arrived at the toilet.

Meng Jiusi held Gu Hangbao in, took off his pants.

A burst of water sound.

Gu Hangbao let out a long breath, sighing: "Suffocated me!"

"Where are your parents? Didn't his dad take you to the toilet?!" Meng Jiusi asked.

Holding it for too long is not good.

"My dad took me," but he drank a lot of water, and his stomach always felt bloated.

Gu Hangbao explained the whereabouts of his parents, "My dad went to training, my mom went to buy me pig's trotters!"

"Where did your mom go to buy you pig's trotters?" Meng Jiusi's brows locked tightly. He thought Zhao Zhao was joking; he didn't expect her to really go buy them.

A pig only has four trotters; this thing is not easy to buy. Zhao Zhao just arrived not long ago and didn't have any connections. Where could she buy them?

He could only think of the black market.

So dangerous.

Gu Hangbao shook his head, his tone resentful, "Don't know, my mom always says adults' affairs, children don't worry."

"... Listen to your mom," Meng Jiusi put on his nephew's pants and held him out.

"..."

Knowing that Little Uncle was also on Mom's side, Gu Hangbao sighed gloomily, and said sensibly: "I listen to Mom the most."

"Listening to Mom is a good child," Meng Jiusi praised, took him to wash his hands and face, and then took him back to the room.

Gu Hangbao saw that his Little Uncle washed his hands and face very carefully, washing them back and forth several times, and said: "Little Uncle, you are like my brother, washing hands is so troublesome."

Meng Jiusi was slightly stunned, then laughed, "Haven't you heard a saying?"

"What saying?" Gu Hangbao asked.

"Nephew follows uncle," Meng Jiusi's tone contained a smile.

"Hahaha, then why didn't I follow you," Gu Hangbao let out a string of laughter from his mouth and said to his Little Uncle.

"You still have three other uncles," the implication was very clear: follow your other three uncles.

Gu Hangbao was unable to refute.

Meng Jiusi put him on the bed, "I'll change your dressing first, eat breakfast after changing."

"Okay," the little injured patient had no opinion.

Watching his Little Uncle change his dressing, seeing Meng Jiusi's technique was very experienced, after two seconds, he couldn't help but ask: "Little Uncle, when will my foot be better?"

Meng Jiusi glanced at him, his tone light and slow, "That depends on what your definition of better is?"

"What does that mean?" Gu Hangbao was full of question marks.

"If it's just the kind of better that can get out of bed, if you insist on applying medicine, three days is about enough; if it's the kind that can run and jump, it will take at least a week," Meng Jiusi said.

"Ah?" Gu Hangbao ah-ed exaggeratedly.

"Ah what!" Meng Jiusi was amused by his tone and laughed out loud.

Afraid the little injured patient wouldn't take it seriously, he said it a bit exaggeratedly, deliberately scaring his nephew.

"The injury on the foot must be careful; if you are not careful, you will leave sequelae, so take good care of it."

"What is sequelae?" The one who asked was Xiang Yubao.

"Sequelae means if it's not taken care of well, the foot will hurt from time to time," Meng Jiusi explained to them in words children could understand.

Hearing this, Xiang Yubao's expression became serious, "Little Uncle, I will watch Gu Hangbao, not let him run and jump, and will definitely let him be completely healed."

Gu Hangbao didn't want to leave sequelae either, hurriedly nodding, "Little Uncle, I listen to you! You say when I can walk, then I'll get out of bed!"

Meng Jiusi smiled, packed up the medical kit, and planned to go to work.

Before leaving, he asked: "Have your mom eaten anything?"

"Ate, drank a bowl of porridge," Xiang Yubao answered.

"It's fine if she ate; not eating breakfast is not good for the body," Meng Jiusi said.

"Little Uncle, don't worry, my dad and we will all supervise my mom," Xiang Yubao smiled brightly.

Meng Jiusi rubbed his forehead and smiled: "Good, I brought you buns, go get them yourself. I'm going to work first; Meng Jingmo brother and Meng Meng Xiaobai will come later."

"Okay," Xiang Yubao promised obediently.

Meng Jiusi was very at ease with his eldest nephew, didn't say anything else, turned and left.

Not long after he left, Mao Dan'er, Meng Jingmo, and Meng Meng Xiaobai came to visit the little patient, accompanied by several new friends the twins had made.

They didn't come empty-handed.

Mao Dan'er brought two red apples, Hei Dan brought a few dates, other children brought cucumbers, others brought tomatoes... not many, nor were they precious things, but they were all the children's intentions.

"Gu Hangbao, we're here to see you."

"Gu Hangbao, is your foot better? Does it still hurt?"

The children squeezed into the twins' room, saying words of concern one by one.

"Gu Hangbao, your room is so beautiful! Did your dad prepare it for you?" a child asked with envy.

Gu Hangbao proudly straightened his small chest and said loudly: "Yes, my dad prepared it. This room is very similar to the layout in my old home, isn't it beautiful? My room in the old home is even more beautiful, the windows are big, especially bright, and the curtains are the blue my brother and I like."

"By the way, this is my and my brother's room, not just mine."

The child wow-ed, "I don't even have a room in my old home."

"Then do you have one here?" Gu Hangbao asked without seeing outsiders.

"Yes," the child smiled brighter than the sun.

"That's very good," Gu Hangbao gave the little partner enough emotional value, and the words he said were very nice, "Your room will get bigger and bigger, and more and more beautiful."

"Thank you Gu Hangbao, your room will also get bigger and bigger, and more and more beautiful."

The children didn't have jealous hearts; envy was envy, and they were satisfied with what they had.

Xiang Yubao greeted the little guests who came to visit his brother. He poured sweet red date water and took out the mung bean cakes his mother had made before.

"You guys drink water, there are mung bean cakes my mom made here, everyone eat."

Hei Dan widened his eyes in surprise, "Xiang Yubao, do you know where your family's mung bean cakes are? Doesn't your mom hide cakes and candies from you?!"

"I know," Xiang Yubao answered, then asked suspiciously: "Why hide cakes and candies from me? Is it to steal them?"

"It's not adults stealing, it's afraid we'll steal them," Hei Dan said.

His mother hid them, hanging them on the roof beam, high up. Even if he wanted to steal them, he couldn't reach them.

"Why steal? My mom said children are the little masters of the family; if you want to eat or drink, just take it yourself, as long as you know how to be moderate," Xiang Yubao said.

"Your mom is truly good," Hei Dan was full of envy, "My mother hides everything, and everything has to be saved for the New Year."

Xiang Yubao looked sympathetic and picked up a piece of mung bean cake for him, "You eat."

Hei Dan took it and was about to send it to his mouth. The mung bean cake stopped five centimeters away from his mouth. He stopped his action with difficulty and said: "If we eat so many mung bean cakes, won't your mom get angry and hit you? Maybe we shouldn't eat them; adults hitting people hurts."

A child who had already bitten off a piece of cake blinked his eyes, looking innocent.

Ate it, what to do?

"My mom never hits people!" Gu Hangbao said loudly, "You guys eat, nothing will happen after eating."

"Right, after eating, my mom will make more for us," Xiang Yubao added.

It's still fresh.

Hei Dan and the other children were then relieved to eat.

Gu Hangbao thought of the excitement he saw halfway through and asked the children about the follow-up.

"What happened to the excitement I saw halfway through? Someone tell me!"

The children squeezed to the bedside and chattered.

Fengshou Brigade.

The brigade was busy with the double-rush, and the commune members were busy until they were dizzy.

After work this day, seeing the Lu family who went to follow the army appear in the village, everyone was shocked to the point of being unbelievable.

"Grandma Baozhen, this is..." Brigade Leader's wife didn't say the big words "kicked back," but slightly embellished the wording, "Aren't you guys going to follow the army to enjoy blessings? Why are you here again?"

Old Lady Lu loved face and didn't mention being kicked back at all, only saying: "That year was too hot, I wasn't used to it, so I came back. It's still more comfortable staying in the old home."

Brigade Leader's wife talked to Lu Laotou, "Grandpa Baozhen, is it like this?"

"If it's not like this, what is it like?" Lu Laotou gave her a white look, "We weren't comfortable living there, so we came back when we wanted to."

Although he said so, his heart was very bitter.

A small place in the countryside and the family compound in the military region, even a fool knows where it's comfortable to live.

Unfortunately, that unfilial son insisted they come back. To make them come back, he actually threatened them with his own official career. Unfilial son!

Fortunately, he gave them a lot of money; otherwise, he wouldn't want to come back.

Brigade Leader's wife didn't quite believe it.

She changed the subject, "Chenghuai's wife went to the military base to visit relatives; you guys saw her, right?"

This flower almost clearly said, it's useless for you to lie; Lin Zhao will come back sooner or later. When she comes back, we will know everything.

The old couple of the Lu family was a bit panicked, and discomfort appeared on their faces.

"Saw her, saw her," Old Lady Lu said "saw her" twice, glanced at Gu Mu's figure, and said: "Chenghuai's wife is quite capable."

She was still waiting for Gu Mu to ask her why she said that, and then blacken Lin Zhao, but Gu Mu glanced at her lightly and didn't answer at all.

Old Lady Lu: Oil and salt-resistant old thing!

Angry, she cursed a few times in her heart. Old Lady Lu didn't give up the heart of fanning the flames, continuing not so cleverly: "Chenghuai's wife went to the military base to enjoy blessings, leaving two irritable nursing babies to her mother-in-law? Her heart is big enough. This is already separated..."

If it were a stingy mother-in-law, she would have been unhappy long ago.

Gu Mu didn't, wiping the corners of the twins' mouths, and said: "We aren't that kind of evil mother-in-law who can't see the daughter-in-law well. My own grandchildren, taking care of them, what's wrong? A family can't be so calculating. If you are so calculating, how can you live..." ===== CHAPTER 307 =====
