Chapter 313: Who stood me up

"That's great." Lin Zhao's smile was bright.

No wonder her little brother and Jingmo and Guangbai recovered so well, as if they hadn't encountered any unfair things. It turned out the military district had such regulations.

"Only in this way can we live a stable life."

As for people like Sister-in-law Wang, it didn't matter.

Gu Chenghuai looked at his wife, "Are you angry? If you are very angry, I'll call her man out."

"For what?"

Gu Chenghuai pinched his fingers, "Competition. Let him manage his own wife."

"... No need." Lin Zhao said, "I'm not angry. Just saying a few idle words, I didn't take it to heart."

"My wife is truly broad-minded."

Lin Zhao patted the man's strong arm and chided, "Stop flattering me."

"How is it flattering, it's my heartfelt true thought." Gu Chenghuai's handsome face was full of pride, "Who has a wife as capable as mine? Not long after coming to the military district, she solved the big problem of insufficient medicinal herbs for the military hospital, helped the surrounding brigades generate income, and further deepened the connection between the army and the people. How capable, the leadership even said they would praise you at the conference. I am honored to be associated with you."

"What?" Gu Hangbao widened his eyes and came over, "Mom is going to be praised at the conference? Are there certificates and awards?"

Gu Chenghuai looked down at him, "Worldly, are certificates and awards important?"

"How are they not important." The brothers said in unison.

Gu Hangbao gave his brother a gesture to go first.

Xiang Yubao gave his younger brother a salute that wasn't standard, looked at Gu Chenghuai, "Certificates are proof of being praised, awards are souvenirs, both are very important."

Gu Hangbao followed, "Our family doesn't lack enamel cups and towels, but buying them and getting them as awards are different."

"If there are rewards and awards, when we return to the brigade, I can take the things and tell the people in the brigade, this is the commendation my Mom received in the army. Grandpa and Grandma will also be happy, and they will definitely talk from the east end to the west end."

"Look, this is the commendation my third aunt received in the army..." He imitated his grandmother, his hand raised, as if holding a bright certificate.

Lin Zhao covered her face with both hands.

"Gu Hangbao, you are truly a little drama queen."

Gu Hangbao wasn't ashamed but proud, his little chin raised slightly, "Mm-hmm, it's a pity there's no chance, otherwise I could also be in a movie, act as a little hero, and children all over the country would know me, Gu Zhiheng, how cool that would be."

"You even know what cool is." Lin Zhao's tail tone rose.

"That's for sure, who am I, I am the smart Gu Hangbao." Gu Hangbao said smugly.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are the smart Gu Hangbao." Lin Zhao followed her narcissistic son and said a sentence.

Gu Hangbao was used to climbing up the pole, saw that his Dad and Mom were in a good mood, and pleaded ingratiatingly, "... Mom, can I go find Hei Dan and the others to play now?"

Afraid that Lin Zhao wouldn't agree, he deliberately revealed a pitiful little expression.

"We are about to return to our hometown, so we can't play with them anymore, Mom~~"

The little boy with extremely good looks clasped his hands together and acted like a spoiled child in a soft voice, his voice still carrying the softness unique to children, making people unable to help but soften their hearts.

"You can, you can..." Lin Zhao finally loosened her mouth, didn't wait for Gu Hangbao to be happy, and put forward requirements, "Condition, you have to pay attention to your foot when playing, don't run or jump, deal?"

Gu Hangbao stood straight, his voice loud and spirited, "Deal! Must deal!"

Lin Zhao looked at Xiang Yubao, "Watch your younger brother, if he doesn't listen, you come find me, I'll lock him up for a month."

Gu Hangbao opened his mouth wide.

"..."

A month!

"I'll listen! I won't run or jump! Brother, supervise me!" He said repeatedly.

Xiang Yubao guaranteed, "I will watch my younger brother well."

The little brothers held hands and went out to find little friends, first went to Ning's house to find Mao Dan'er, then went to Meng's house to find Jingmo and Xiaobai, called everyone, and then went to call other children in the military district.

The two sons left home, Lin Zhao said to Gu Chenghuai: "Gouzi and her grandmother sent quite a few specialties today, saying they were thank-you gifts for our family. I didn't accept them. The old woman handed them to the duty officer and ran away with Gouzi. I told the duty officer to send the things to the cafeteria for everyone to improve their meals. Is there any problem with this handling?"

It was also because she knew Gouzi's family earned quite a lot, and it was a sincere thank you to the military district, that she opened her mouth.

Gu Chenghuai's eyes were full of appreciation, "No problem! Handled beautifully."

"As long as I didn't drag you down." Lin Zhao said.

The man's brow knitted slightly, "What kind of talk is this, you poke a hole in the sky, I can patch it for you, don't underestimate your man's ability."

Lin Zhao pushed away the handsome face that leaned in front of her eyes and chided, "Be serious, if someone sees you, the image of silence you worked so hard to build will be ruined."

After coming to the military district, she knew that this person's persona outside was cold and spoke little.

"Who cares." Gu Chenghuai said indifferently, "Who doesn't have two faces? I separate career and life very clearly."

Tenderness and patience are left to the most loved person, rationality and indifference are left to work.

No problem.

"Can't win against you, there isn't a shadow of silence at all." Lin Zhao smiled.

Thinking of returning to her hometown in two days, she said: "I want to find someone to exchange for specialties. Since I'm here, I have to bring something back."

"Sure." Gu Chenghuai responded, "You handle the arrangements, you know where our family's money is."

"Mm-mm." Lin Zhao pondered what to prepare and didn't speak for a long time.

Sensing the atmosphere was a bit silent, she looked up at Gu Chenghuai and met a handsome face overflowing with reluctance.

"Really don't want you to leave." Gu Chenghuai sighed.

Lin Zhao reached out to touch his face, rubbed it a few times, and comforted him softly, "I'll return to my hometown to handle family matters, you go to further your studies and improve yourself. When we are both busy, I'll follow the army, wherever you go, I'll follow."

The man grabbed her soft hand and put it into his palm, the force was very heavy, wishing he could shrink her and put her in his pants pocket to carry with him.

"Keep your word." He said, "This matter is very important, you can't lie to me."

Lin Zhao asked back, "When have I lied to you?"

Gu Chenghuai: Stare. jpg

Haven't you?

"When we were dating back then, who stood me up?"

Lin Zhao was in the wrong.

"After marriage, who said they would go to the army to see me, but ended up making me wait for several years? Zhao Zhao, Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao are almost two years old, and you only came to visit relatives... " The Gu Battalion Commander had no expression on his face, but his eyes, black as ink, were full of resentment.

Lin Zhao felt extremely guilty.

"Cough..." She cleared her throat to cover up her embarrassment.

"Are you blaming me now?"

"??" Shouldn't he? Although he thought so in his heart, the Gu Battalion Commander, who loved his wife like his life, couldn't bear to speak to his wife like this.

He said: "No, just... I've been looking forward to you coming."

If this person said it was blaming you, Lin Zhao's guilt wouldn't be very heavy. He said such words, but it tightly grabbed her heart.

"Didn't I come now." Lin Zhao grabbed the man's hand with calluses and said seriously: "Though late, I arrived. So, let's turn the page on the past, okay?"

"Okay, our family, you have the final say." Gu Chenghuai's deep voice was full of smiles.

In the next two days, Lin Zhao exchanged for quite a few specialties, and Meng Jiusi wasn't idle either, helping to get sausages, smoked chicken, sesame candy, and several other kinds of food.

Reluctant to let his own sister suffer, he helped send them out. There were many things, and sending them once cost several yuan. He earned a lot, so he didn't feel distressed.

He was like this to his sister, and not stingy to his nephews, buying clothes, shoes, and toys for the twins, and didn't forget the twins, buying them and sending them back directly.

Lin Zhao sighed, "Having an uncle is truly happy."

Meng Jiusi looked at her and smiled, "Not happy having a brother?"

Lin Zhao smiled until her eyebrows and eyes curved like crescent moons, "Also happy, also happy."

Super happy.

She felt that even without that lottery turntable, she could live very well in this era of scarce materials.

Thinking of the lottery turntable, Lin Zhao suddenly remembered that the detector hadn't been taken out yet.

Must think of a way.

At this time, the twins rushed home sweating, their pant legs were wet, their sandals were in their hands, walking barefoot, and their feet were as dirty as if they had walked in mud.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao took a deep breath, her face straight, "... What's going on with you two? Went to dig a mine? So dirty."

"Just wash it, boys are all like this." Meng Jiusi led the two cubs to the washbasin to wash up.

Lin Zhao: "Jingmo and Xiaobai aren't like this, they are so clean, those white shirts are always clean."

"No." Meng Jiusi shook his head, a look of helplessness flashing in his eyes, "Jingmo and Xiaobai care about face, pay attention to their image in front of you, and don't let you see it."

When they come to his aunt's place, their shoes have to be brushed several times. Xiaobai can't brush them clean, and he has to be disliked by his brother. After disliking, he squats down to brush them for his younger brother.

"Mom, there's no reference object now, you can't dislike us anymore." Gu Hangbao said smugly.

It's not that he's naughty, boys are all like this!

Xiang Yubao felt his younger brother was too arrogant and couldn't help but pull his sleeve.

Whispered: "Gu Hangbao, restrain yourself."

Gu Hangbao giggled and didn't continue to provoke the adult's majesty.

He was quite smart, knowing how to change the subject and divert Lin Zhao's attention.

"Mom, we just saw Hei Dan's brother fishing, he didn't catch a fish, but caught a small black iron box. The soldier uncle said it was a very important thing and took it away. Mom, do you know what that black iron box is?"

"???" Lin Zhao became interested, "Don't know. Xiang Yubao, tell me about this again, the more specific the better."

It seems, the train of thought has been opened.

Xiang Yubao told the situation one by one.

It turned out that several boys went fishing again. Today they were quite well-prepared, carrying bamboo baskets for fishing, and carrying fishing rods made by Hei Dan's dad, swearing to catch more big fish!

When Hei Dan's brother was fishing, he felt the bait being bitten, hurriedly pulled the line, it was very heavy, thought he caught a big guy, hurriedly called people, the older friends worked together, finally caught the thing in the river, who knew it wasn't a fish, but a black iron box.

Children in the military district, whose sense of smell wasn't sharp?

Hei Dan's brother sensed something was wrong, handed the thing to his father who came to call him for dinner, the man immediately realized something and left with the thing.

Leaving the dumbfounded children behind.

This was why Gu Hangbao asked Lin Zhao what the black iron box was.

"Mom, what is that black iron box?" Xiang Yubao also asked.

Lin Zhao said: "Not clear, I wasn't at the scene, can't guess."

However.

If an iron box can appear in the river, it's highly likely it was thrown by the opposite side, or some small tricks made by spies...

Xiang Yubao felt Mom's answer was reasonable and didn't press further.

Gu Hangbao set his eyes on his uncle, "Does Little Uncle know?"

Meng Jiusi and Lin Zhao had the same guess. This matter might involve secrets, not easy to reveal to children. He pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know either."

The brothers lowered their heads in disappointment.

As Lin Zhao and Meng Jiusi thought, the origin of the black iron box was indeed special.

The military district rewarded Hei Dan's brother with twenty yuan, two jin of meat, and a small-sized military uniform.

However, what that thing was and where it came from, not a word was mentioned.

The generous reward Hei Dan's family received made some people in the family compound jealous, and the number of people going to the riverside to fish increased significantly.

A large crowd.

Everyone held bamboo baskets and fishing rods in their hands.

Some fishing rods looked like they were newly made at a glance, which was very sloppy.

The enthusiasm for fishing in the military district was very high, and at this time, the twins who were fishing enthusiasts were also greedy.

"Dad, everyone has fishing rods, I want one too." Gu Hangbao looked at Gu Chenghuai expectantly.

"..." Gu Chenghuai pressed his brow, "There are also people who have airplanes, do you want one?"

Gu Hangbao's eyes lit up, "I want to. Can you get an airplane? Then get one back, Brother likes it."

Gu Chenghuai: "..."

"Shut up." He remained calm.

A stinky boy who couldn't hear good words.

Gu Hangbao looked at him resentfully, his tone aggrieved, "You said it, fierce adult."

Facing his father's cold eyes, he hurriedly looked away, muttering in a low voice, "If you can't make it, you can't make it, why be fierce, not being able to make a fishing rod isn't something shameful."

Gu Chenghuai's eyelids jumped and jumped, his hands itching, for no other reason than wanting to hit the child.

"Go back to the room and read." His expression was cold and stern, and his tone was also severe, making people dare not refute.

The sharp sense of smell of a small animal told Gu Hangbao that it was not appropriate to speak at this time.

He pulled his brother and ran away.

Lin Zhao didn't speak.

His father was educating the child, she had no opinion.

The Gu family's education method was still very trustworthy.

"Getting naughtier and naughtier, don't know who they take after." Gu Chenghuai said.

"It's not considered naughty yet, wait until they reach the age of Seeing Yaobao and see..." Lin Zhao could already foresee how tiring the future child-raising life would be.

Gu Chenghuai also thought of it, "I'll manage the three boys, I guarantee to manage them obediently, so you don't have to worry."

He only talked about managing the three sons, completely didn't mention managing the daughter.

He had three sons, only such a daughter, and the daughter was like his mother. He only wanted to pave a smooth path for his daughter, so that she would be smooth in this life and wouldn't experience the slightest pain.

Gu Chenghuai believed that sons grow up to marry wives and are the masters of the family, with heavy burdens, so they must be taught the ability to walk independently in the world. Daughters are his precious pearls, no matter how much they are spoiled, it's not too much, and he also has the ability to lift Seeing Yaobao up.

"Don't, if it's not a matter of principle, it's not a bad thing for children to be lively and naughty." Lin Zhao disagreed, "As long as you ensure their values are correct, know the law and understand the law, that's enough."

Even, she didn't require the children to have much success, as long as they live their lives happily.

In the original book, the grown-up Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao had everything, but they weren't happy. Their hearts were like a big hole, and no amount of wealth or success could fill that hole. In the end, they abandoned themselves and headed toward destruction...

Lin Zhao hoped that the children would live their lives happily.

"They have to start a family in the future, if they don't fall and hit, how can they become successful." Gu Chenghuai expressed his point of view. ===== CHAPTER 314 =====
