Chapter 312: Who isn't double-standard

Old Han took little Han Shuang and left without any delay.

Lin Zhao bumped Gu Chenghuai's arm, "Look, he treats your son as a little yellow-haired boy."

Gu Chenghuai: "..."

He raised his hand to pinch his brow, "Don't look at how old the children are, worrying about nothing."

Lin Zhao smiled, "What if it were your daughter? Seeing Yaobao making a scene to live in someone else's house, making a scene to play with boys?"

"Play what play." Gu Chenghuai's face sank in a second, "Seeing Yaobao has three biological brothers, so many cousins, isn't that enough to play with? Why go find others."

The tone was inevitably sour and rushing.

Lin Zhao: "Tsk."

Gu Chenghuai: "..."

Tsk what, he wasn't wrong.

"You are double-standard." Lin Zhao evaluated.

Gu Chenghuai's handsome face was calm, "Who isn't double-standard?"

Lin Zhao: That's true.

Xiang Yubao was reluctant to part with his little friend, "Mom, why didn't Uncle Han let Xu Juan stay? Can we still play with Xu Juan?"

Lin Zhao was silent.

It should be impossible in a short time.

Because, they were about to return to their hometown!

Gu Chenghuai touched his son's head and said in a deep voice, "Juan'er has to accompany her Dad and Mom, she doesn't have time to come to the military district for a while. If you want to play with her again, I'm afraid you'll only have a chance when you formally follow your Mom to the army."

Xiang Yubao was full of shock, "Dad, do you mean, before we return to our hometown, we won't see Xu Juan?"

He said somewhat sadly, "We haven't said goodbye yet."

Gu Hangbao also said, "Right, Xu Juan won't be angry with us, will she?"

"No." Gu Chenghuai coaxed his two sons, "I will explain the situation for you."

Xiang Yubao felt relieved, remembered one thing, and looked up at Gu Chenghuai, "Dad, is Xu Juan's house still her house, right? Her house won't be snatched away by Lu Baozhen's stepmother, will it?"

Gu Chenghuai's brow gathered into a small knot, what kind of messy things.

"Our country is a country ruled by law, snatching houses is an illegal act, anyone who violates it must be punished. The Han family's house is Juan'er's, no one can snatch it away." He calmly taught his two sons about the law.

Xiang Yubao clapped, "That's too great."

He was afraid that after they returned to their hometown, Lu Baozhen and her stepmother would return to the military district to wreak havoc on his newly met friend.

Gouzi's family received the first money from selling medicinal herbs, collected many local specialties in the village, and specially sent them to the military district.

They specifically named them for Lin Zhao's family.

Learning of this, Lin Zhao was very puzzled.

The soldier on duty outside the military district gate urged her repeatedly, so she simply walked outside.

The entrance was some distance from the family compound, so Lin Zhao borrowed her brother's bicycle and carried the twins to go over together.

Gouzi and her grandmother were waiting. Seeing Lin Zhao and the others, smiles appeared on the grandmother and granddaughter's faces.

"Gouzi, why are you here?" Xiang Yubao took advantage of Lin Zhao parking the bike and walked toward Gouzi and her grandmother, asking puzzledly.

Gouzi saw her grandmother didn't speak and took the initiative to explain, "The medicinal herbs we picked were sold, sold for a lot of money. My grandma exchanged for local specialties in the village, and we came to thank you."

The little girl recognized medicinal herbs very quickly, and she knew clearly which medicinal herbs were where.

Furthermore, there were small classes opened by the military hospital every few days, and Gouzi made great progress.

The brigade leader asked her to teach the people in the village, the kind that counted work points.

In this way, the opportunities to speak in front of the villagers became more, and Gouzi's personality changed slightly, looking much more generous, no longer as timid and unconfident as before.

At this time, her eyebrows and eyes were gradually becoming open.

"I recognized many medicinal herbs. The brigade leader said I learned well and let me teach the villagers. I agreed. This time after selling the medicinal herbs, every household has income, and everyone is very happy. The villagers said they wanted to thank you properly. When will you go to the village again, we will kill chickens to treat you."

Hearing this, Xiang Yubao first congratulated Gouzi on earning money and then expressed refusal.

"Congratulations on your brigade's efforts being rewarded. This is the result of your hard work, no need to thank us."

"We can't accept local specialties; this would violate discipline. You take them back."

Gouzi hurriedly said, "We sent them voluntarily, it's a thank-you gift, it doesn't violate discipline. My grandma and I carried them here with such difficulty, you must accept them."

She looked serious, "The book for recognizing herbs was given by you. If it weren't for your Mom saying those were medicinal herbs, we would definitely still treat them as weeds and pull them out. You helped us earn money, so we sending you specialties is what we should do. My grandma said people must repay kindness, otherwise they are ungrateful wolves, and I don't want to be an ungrateful wolf."

Xiang Yubao choked and didn't know what to say.

It was Gu Hangbao's turn to go on stage, "Can't! The army has regulations, soldiers can't take a single needle or thread from the people. You doing this is harming my Dad! Take them away immediately. If someone sees it, my family will be like yellow mud falling into pants, unable to explain even if we try."

"But..." Gouzi still wanted to say more.

"No buts." Gu Hangbao raised his loud voice, deliberately letting the duty personnel hear, his cute bun-like face full of refusal, "My family really can't accept it."

Xiang Yubao supported his younger brother, "Right, can't accept it. If you are afraid that carrying them back is too tiring, I'll ask the soldier uncle to help you send them back."

Gu Hangbao added, "Is this okay?"

In short.

This gift absolutely couldn't be accepted.

So many pairs of eyes were watching.

Can't harm Dad and get him punished.

Smart children wouldn't do things that put the cart before the horse.

Gouzi couldn't win against the Gu family twins who were a perfect match and looked at Lin Zhao awkwardly.

"... It's a thank-you gift, not asking for help." She explained in a panic.

Lin Zhao smiled to soothe, her words gentle and slow, "I know, but no matter what, we can't accept it."

"Rules are rules, everyone must abide by them. We appreciate your kindness, thank you."

These words were mainly said to the old woman.

Gouzi's grandmother was an old woman with her own ideas. Since the benefactor wouldn't accept, she had other ways.

Immediately, she picked up the things and walked toward the person on duty.

She put down the things.

"Comrade, these things were collected by our brigade, for you to improve your meals, thank you for the military district's care for our brigade. Gouzi, let's go home."

The soldier on duty: "..."

His ears were fine; didn't he hear the conversation that was so loud just now?

Just as he was about to say something, the grandmother and granddaughter left the two bamboo baskets filled to the brim and, afraid of being refused again, didn't dare to chat with Lin Zhao anymore and ran away quickly.

"Comrade, the military district has regulations, your things—!" The black-skinned duty officer shouted.

But he saw the grandmother and granddaughter running even faster.

The duty officer looked at Lin Zhao helplessly and said in a dilemma, "This..."

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and came up with an idea, "I see the fellow villager's heart to improve everyone's meals is very firm. Even if you chase after her, she won't accept it, and instead, she will run faster. Why not send them to the cafeteria?"

The implication was to simply let the cafeteria cook them.

"I'll report to the leadership later, thank you, sister-in-law." The duty officer's thinking opened up, and his tightly knitted brow relaxed.

Lin Zhao carried her two sons home to the family building again.

On the way.

"Mom, was my performance great today?" Gu Hangbao sat on the front beam, swinging his short legs, asking for praise.

"Especially great." Lin Zhao praised as he wished, "Both of you remembered your Dad's words, Mom is very gratified."

She didn't ignore Xiang Yubao either, "Xiang Yubao also spoke especially well, the way you two bravely expressed yourselves is truly shining, sparkling, I am proud of you."

Lin Zhao really didn't expect that the two sons would have that reaction. Really, their political sense of smell was too sharp.

Hearing these words of praise, the steady Xiang Yubao also began to swing his feet.

So happy.

He would always be Mom's pride.

Gu Hangbao raised his injured leg that was well-nurtured, his eyes shining, "Mom, my leg is healed, can I go find Hei Dan and the others to play?"

"Why are you so playful? Have you finished your homework?" Lin Zhao looked helplessly at his dark hair top.

"Finished!" Gu Hangbao said loudly. This was the confidence of having finished his homework and finished it perfectly.

"Xiang Yubao?" Lin Zhao called her eldest son gently.

Xiang Yubao knew what Mom was calling him for and said immediately, "It's finished, I checked it, Gu Hangbao did it very seriously, I explained the wrong questions to him, and he learned them!"

During the few days his younger brother was nursing his foot, he pressed Gu Hangbao to do his homework and reviewed his lessons by the way, ensuring he could still be at the top of the class next semester.

Hee hee.

"Xiang Yubao is so great, I'm so worry-free with you, thank you for your hard work, my eldest son." Lin Zhao said softly.

"I'm not working hard, what Mom does is more meaningful. With me, Mom, don't worry." Xiang Yubao said seriously.

Seeing Gouzi's changes, his little heart had a great touch.

Lin Zhao's feet pedaling the bike paused slightly, a shallow smile flashed in her eyes, decorated with thousands of stars, "Do you know what is a meaningful thing?"

"I know, Mom helping Gouzi and their brigade, this is a meaningful thing." Xiang Yubao said seriously with his little face straight.

The little boy's head leaned on Lin Zhao's back, his nose tip lightly rubbing against the cotton shirt Mom was wearing, and what he said was sweeter than milk cake, "Mom is also my pride."

Lin Zhao's eyebrows and eyes curved up.

She didn't have such high sentiments, it was just a coincidence.

Now it was a win-win situation.

The bicycle drove into the family compound. Far away, several sisters-in-law were walking in front, standing horizontally, filling the road.

No choice, Lin Zhao could only ring the bike bell.

Zhang Ping turned her head, saw Lin Zhao carrying the twins, and a smile appeared on her tense face, "Sister Lin, you took them out?"

Lin Zhao jumped off the bike and replied with a smile, "Didn't go out, just went around the military district gate."

Wang Saozi noticed Lin Zhao didn't take anything, felt comfortable in her heart, remembered the news she heard, but was still sour.

She said deliberately, "I heard that fellow villagers came specially to send you gifts? Where are the gifts? Why didn't I see them? Comrade Lin wasn't cheated by someone, right?!"

That gloating meaning was as rushing as it could be.

"The army strictly forbids taking a single needle or thread from the common people, doesn't Auntie Wang know?" Xiang Yubao frowned and asked politely.

Wang Saozi choked.

Zhang Ping laughed out loud, "Exactly, Wang Saozi, don't you know this military discipline? You've been here for several years, and you don't even know this? Then you've really lived for nothing, not even as good as a child."

"Zhang Ping!" Wang Saozi said angrily, "Take care of yourself first!"

She smiled without warmth and said stinging words suspiciously.

"I heard that Chu Ding's dad hasn't been home for several days, he's angry with you! He thinks you are a poisonous woman and doesn't want to be in the same room with you. Aren't you afraid he'll divorce you."

Zhang Ping's heart felt like it was hit by an arrow, stinging and stinging.

Although she had no feelings for the man now, they had once had a beautiful time, plus they had children. She hadn't thought about divorce, but that person was so ruthless to her as a wife, it was truly ruthless.

Truly ruthless!

For a woman who was like a water-loving flower, he was truly possessed!

"None of your business!" Zhang Ping didn't show any weakness and fought back, "Your son stole things again, this time he was chased to the door. The old saying goes, steal a needle when young, steal gold when old. If you don't manage him, he'll be in jail sooner or later."

Wang Saozi loved her eldest son the most, the kind who would give him the moon if he wanted stars, especially protective of her calf. Hearing Zhang Ping curse her son, she went crazy with anger.

"You're the one going to jail, your whole family is going to jail!"

The woman grabbed Zhang Ping's arm and shook it hard.

"You hurry up and spit, say you didn't mean it!" Wang Saozi shouted.

People around persuaded, "A-Ping, you hurry up and spit a few times."

Otherwise, if Wang Saozi's eldest son had bad luck, Wang Saozi would throw the pot on her head, making trouble, saying her son was cursed or something.

The environment was special now, no one dared to engage in superstitious actions, but one couldn't underestimate the power of a crazy mother.

That was truly regardless of anything.

Zhang Ping listened to the persuasion and spat a few times.

Wang Saozi clasped her hands together, bowed front, back, left, and right, and her heart fell back to the left chest.

Mother, scared to death.

Lin Zhao who saw this scene: "..."

It was clear they were engaging in some messy things, why didn't anyone report it?

She didn't meddle in other people's business, gave Zhang Ping, who spoke up for justice, a look when no one was paying attention, and left quietly.

Zhang Ping smiled.

Gu Chenghuai returned home, didn't find his wife and sons, just walked out of the courtyard gate, wanting to find them, and ran into the mother and three children who had just returned home.

"Where did you go? Why are you still riding a bicycle?" He stepped forward to hold the twins, took the bicycle, used his arm lightly, skipped the step of unloading the steps, and brought the car off the ground and home.

"Gouzi and her grandmother came to send gifts, I went to see." Lin Zhao held her sons' hands on the left and right and entered the courtyard.

"Your son's performance just now was especially, especially good, really, his reaction and eloquence were both especially good, his brain was also flexible, too great."

After praising, Lin Zhao said to the twins, "Quick, tell your Dad about the situation just now."

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao were both children who loved to perform, and they started talking one sentence after another.

After listening.

Gu Chenghuai's eyes were surprised, and he praised, "Your Mom didn't praise you wrong, your performance was not bad, you still remembered what I said, you did beautifully, you deserve praise."

The brothers floated away.

Xiang Yubao barely came back to his senses from his trance and said, "It's a pity we didn't persuade them to take the things back."

"You've already done well." Gu Chenghuai affirmed.

He had seen many stubborn fellow villagers.

In the past, when they went out to fight floods, there were fellow villagers who sent gifts to express their gratitude. After being refused, they threw the things directly onto the car. Those were potatoes, dead heavy, smashing the little soldier until he was dizzy. When the military doctor saw it, it was a concussion.

Since then, the soldiers on missions began to pay attention to the "sneak attacks" of fellow villagers to prevent being accidentally injured.

After the father and three sons finished talking, Lin Zhao asked the previous doubt.

"... How did Wang Saozi dare to say such things, isn't she afraid... of that?"

Gu Chenghuai: "Some bad things happened before. The army strictly forbids bringing outside atmosphere in. The contradictions in the family compound are all trivial matters and don't rise to the level of reporting."

Moreover.

With previous lessons, no one dared to test the law with their own body. ===== CHAPTER 313 =====
