Chapter 329: Little Bitter Melon

The little brothers were very conflicted.

It was Yubao who remembered Gu Chenghuai's battle with his comrades-in-arms. Dad was so invincible; so many army uncles couldn't beat Dad, so... Dad was the most powerful!

"Dad can defeat everyone."

Hearing his brother's words, Hengbao's mind was also lit up by familiar memories. His eyes shone instantly, and he nodded vigorously, "Mm! Dad is invincible!!"

Lin Zhao was silent on the side.

Is there a possibility that your dad's moves are very mixed? Some were taught by the army, and he also benefited from the guidance of an expert in his youth. At the very least, he had been on so many missions that he had long formed his own style of attack and defense, which was incomparable to ordinary "hey-ha" boxing.

Uncle De also had his guesses. He bent down halfway, looked down at the twins, and said with a firm tone, "Learn from me, you won't regret it!"

Hengbao laughed "hahaha" and pointed at him, "Great-Grandpa De, the way you talk sounds like the bad guys in storybooks who trick children."

"Gu Zhihang." Lin Zhao called his full name, "Great-Grandpa is an elder; you must be polite when speaking."

Uncle De wasn't angry; instead, he grew even fonder of Hengbao's cleverness. His old face was full of kind smiles, "No matter, no matter. Hengbao is smart and lively, like a Lin family member."

Lin Zhao: "..." Please don't spoil him too much.

Hengbao grabbed Uncle De's hand and put on the most well-behaved appearance, "Great-Grandpa De, I didn't say you were a bad guy. You're so kind, you look like a good person at first glance. I like you."

Uncle De was instantly coaxed into curling his mouth upward, laughing until he couldn't close his mouth.

On the side, Second Egg tried hard to maintain his punching motion, once, and then again.

Sweat the size of beans dripped from his forehead, and his calves were trembling, clearly reaching his limit, yet he was still trying hard to persist, synchronized with his brother, refusing to fall behind.

Great-Grandpa De was right; they were men. They had to support the Lin family's threshold and support their younger brothers and sisters. They had to have perseverance; what kind of great man gives up lightly!

Yubao looked at the sweat on Big Egg and Second Egg's heads, took out a clean handkerchief, walked over, and stood on tiptoe to wipe their sweat.

"Big Egg Brother, Second Egg Brother, are you very tired? Can't you rest for a while?"

"No need to wipe; we'll wash up in a bit. Don't dirty your handkerchief." Big Egg turned his head to dodge Yubao's hand, took a deep breath, and tried hard to steady his voice, "Can't give up halfway! Only persistence brings harvest. It's fine, we're used to it."

Second Egg also echoed: "Right, used to it."

Thinking of something, his face turned bitter, "The first two days, my body hurt so much I wanted to die..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Lin Shichang.

"What nonsense are you spouting? At such a young age, what dying or living? I think you're too full."

Second Egg was slapped until his figure swayed; he barely managed to steady himself, his resentful eyes glancing toward Lin Shichang.

"Dad! We're in front of the younger brothers and sisters! Give me some face!"

Lin Shichang raised his foot and kicked his son's butt lightly, "Stand straight; if you're going to practice, practice well."

Second Egg felt his self-esteem was damaged and shouted loudly toward the house, "Mom, manage your man! He's making trouble!"

Complaining was complaining, but his martial arts movements didn't mess up at all.

Chen Yu, who was used to her son's wailing, expressed: If you eat the bitterness of bitterness, you will be a person above people. Just endure it.

Lin De nodded with satisfaction.

Mm, all are materials that can be molded.

"Alright, that's it for today."

Hearing this sound, Big Egg and Second Egg relaxed their hands and feet, their bodies sinking uncontrollably. Yubao and Hengbao were quick-eyed and fast-handed, hurriedly stepping forward to support one each.

The two eggs were several years older than them, and their height was much taller; they could crush them.

Hengbao bared his teeth, "Second Egg Brother, you're really heavy. If you can't practice, reduce the time. Haven't you heard of long-flowing water?"

Yubao tried hard to support Big Egg Brother's body and also muttered, "Yeah, you can't become a big fatty in one meal."

Big Egg and Second Egg had the look of brothers, not really pressing on their younger brothers, just leaning vaguely on their two cousins.

"It's tiring just after finishing, and the body will hurt, but it won't hurt after soaking in a bath!" Big Egg touched Yubao's head, the young boy's eyes bright, his face carrying a brilliant smile.

Second Egg added: "Great-Grandpa De made us herbal packets, put them in the bathtub, it can relieve fatigue, and can also grow strength!"

Catching the keyword, Hengbao's eyes shone, "Soaking in a bath can make strength grow bigger, really?"

"Really, really, my brother's and my strength have indeed grown bigger!" Second Egg said solemnly.

"That's right." Big Egg nodded in agreement, his pitch-black, bright eyes full of anticipation, "If we persist, we will definitely become more and more powerful."

Yubao was still calm and asked: "Then is your strength as big as my mom's now?"

The two eggs were silent instantly.

Second Egg said honestly: "That, of course, is impossible."

Listening to the children's conversation, Uncle De felt it was very interesting, listening quietly and never interrupting, until he heard them mention Lin Zhao's strength.

"Zhaozhao's strength is very big?" he asked curiously.

Lin Heling chuckled. That pair of eyes didn't have a trace of vicissitudes; black was black, white was white, revealing youth.

He said: "Zhaozhao follows her mother. Xiwei's strength is big, so Zhaozhao has had big strength since she was small. At three months old, she could kick a bed sheet to pieces."

Lin Shichang pursed his lips and gave another example, "When Zhaozhao was four, she accidentally kicked my arm and broke it."

Lin Zhao still had some impression of this matter; she quietly picked at her toes.

Hurry to change the subject:

"Big Egg, Second Egg, why don't you go take a bath? The smell of sweat on your bodies is giving people a headache."

"Yubao, Hengbao, aren't you two wanting to see Third Egg and Fourth Egg? Why don't you go!"

The three girls, Xibao, saw that their little aunt was a bit embarrassed, so they walked into the house hand in hand, and only stopped after being called by Lin Zhao and having a bag of snacks stuffed into their hands.

Sending away a group of little ones, Lin Zhao felt refreshed.

Now, even if some black material was dug up, she didn't worry about losing face in front of the younger generation!

Lin Shichang laughed out loud, pinched his sister's nose, and doted, "Still so vain. I was saying who Xibao looks like; she looks exactly like you, this aunt."

"Niece looks like her own aunt, what's the problem?" Lin Zhao, whose black material had been dug up, had a mouth like it was smeared with poison, "Doesn't she look like you, Big Brother? If she really looked like you, Xibao would have to cry."

Lin Shichang: "..." Convinced.

"I just said it casually, and you're holding a grudge?"

Seeing his sister turn her head away and not look at him, he laughed again: "Really holding a grudge? Then I'll eat your share of the snake soup for you."

Lin Zhao's ears perked up. What, what, what did she hear, snake soup?!

"Where did the snake come from?" she couldn't help but ask.

Lin Shichang didn't tease his sister anymore and laughed: "Mom got it."

"Mom went up the mountain? She just came back and went up the mountain?!" Lin Zhao looked at Song Xiwei.

"Didn't go deep into the mountain. Your Grandpa De wanted to find some common medicinal herbs, so your dad and I took him to stroll around the foot of the mountain. Who knew we'd run into one that didn't have eyes? Your dad said you were thinking about the snake soup you ate when you were little, so he picked it up and brought it home."

For Heling, such a gentle and refined person, to be carrying a thick snake in his hand, the scene was truly as disjointed as it could be. Song Xiwei didn't want to think about it a second time.

Lin Zhao's eyes were tearful, pretending to cry: "I wasn't wrong at all; children with parents are treasures."

Hanging exaggeratedly on her mother, "I want to be Mom and Dad's treasure forever."

Her strength was big, and this pounce had quite a fierce momentum. Fortunately, the one who caught her was her own mother, who had equally big strength. Song Xiwei held her daughter's body steadily, her eyes carrying a smile.

"Alright, alright, you are Mom and Dad's treasure." She was a strict mother, but it wasn't that she didn't want to be close to her children. Her daughter showing closeness and liking for her as a mother made her happy in her heart.

"Is Dad making it later?" Lin Zhao asked with bright eyes.

"You, this little picky eater, will you eat what I make?" Song Xiwei teased.

Lin Zhao looked serious and spoke with reason, "I will, why wouldn't I? It's rare for Mom to cook; how can I not give face."

Lin Shichang: "..." Just blow it a little.

At this time, Lin Heling spoke, "It's not my turn to make it; your Grandpa De said he would make it."

He looked at his children with a smile, "Your Grandpa De has a wide range of knowledge and has achievements in food. His craftsmanship is better than mine. You'll know after you taste it."

Lin Shichang's expression was admiring.

He gave a thumbs up.

Looking at his sister, "Zhaozhao, haven't you noticed that Mom and Dad's complexion looks much better?"

"I see it, I was just about to ask. I thought it was because they rested well. Isn't it?"

"Of course not entirely!" Lin Shichang cast his gaze toward Uncle De.

Lin Zhao gave an "um" of doubt, urging urgently, "Don't sell the punchline, hurry up and say it."

"Grandpa De knows how to stew medicinal meals. Do you know about medicinal meals? Things that can regulate the body and make Mom and Dad better and better. Grandpa De stews them for Mom and Dad every day." Lin Shichang felt medicinal meals were very useful; Mom and Dad's complexion had become much rosier.

Grandpa De drank them himself too. In just a few days, he had become much more spirited.

Is a big family so awesome? Just taking out a prescription is so awesome.

Meeting Lin Zhao's bright eyes, Uncle De said: "I'll eat too, and stew a bit more by the way. No need for polite words."

Lin Zhao lowered her voice, "Okay, I won't say it. You are too all-around."

Uncle De smiled faintly, "It's all just some superficial knowledge. The Lin family has had many talented people. I once heard the old master mention that the Lin family once had a medicinal meal master who saved a dying person with medicinal meals. That was truly powerful; those who came later couldn't compare to her."

"However..." his tone changed, "The Lin family left behind many secret prescriptions. Because of this... the Lin family also has many long-lived people."

Like him, he was a beneficiary of the Lin family's medicinal meal prescriptions.

"Are you interested? If you're interested, I'll organize them and give them to you."

Once Lin Zhao heard the Lin family's medicinal meals were so awesome, it was impossible for her not to be interested. She and Gu Chenghuai still had a century-long agreement; it would be great to be able to live a long life.

"Yes, I want to learn, Grandpa De~!!"

Uncle De was happy in his heart and said immediately: "If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"

People who grew up being taught by the old master were partial to the Lin family's girls.

The kind that gave whatever was asked for.

"Grandpa De is so good; I will definitely learn seriously," Lin Zhao promised.

Uncle De's tone was gentle, "No rush, learn slowly."

Lin Shichang: "???" Grandpa De didn't say that to the two eggs; he seemed... quite strict.

"How come Dad doesn't know the Lin family's medicinal meal prescriptions?" Lin Zhao's eyes were curious.

"Young Master doesn't need to worry about these things," Uncle De said.

Seeing it was the little miss asking, he said a few more words, "Young Master needs to have things sent to him by someone. Learning this requires understanding some pharmacology; it's not that simple."

If the world hadn't become like this, he wouldn't have thought of teaching the little miss.

Lin Zhao was thunderstruck by Grandpa De's sudden form of address and looked at her own father with a feeling of not knowing why but feeling it was powerful.

She guessed the Lin family was awesome, but hadn't thought it would be this awesome.

What kind of family had a form of address like "Young Master"? It probably wasn't just top-tier, it was top-top-top-tier!!

Sorry, she was ignorant and couldn't imagine it.

"No wonder Dad looks at everything with a faint look..."

It turned out it was because he had seen everything.

Lin Heling patted his daughter's hair, his large palm radiating warmth, making Lin Zhao's heart extremely warm.

He said: "You've always wanted to lie down; you have the capital for it. That job... if you feel it's hard, don't do it."

The things he currently had in his hands were enough for several children to be worry-free for a lifetime!

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up, but thinking of the current world, they dimmed again. She endured the bitterness, pretended to be invigorated, "No, I want to work. I'm a successor; I love to struggle."

That wasn't it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that not working meant having nothing to pass the time, who would want to work.

"Pfft..." Lin Shichang endured and endured, but still couldn't help it, spraying out a laugh.

Lin Zhao glared over immediately.

Lin Shichang restrained himself slightly, cleared his throat to cover up his embarrassment, "You don't have to force yourself so much. We're at home; you don't need to say words that don't come from the heart."

Lin Zhao smiled politely, "Acting has to be done in a full set, understand?"

Brainwashing has to start by tricking yourself first.

Lin Shichang pressed his fist to his lips, "... Understand."

Lin Zhao didn't want to pay attention to her big brother who had been tearing down her stage all day and informed her family of the news that something had happened to the Yuan family.

Song Xiwei only said: "Understood."

In her view, losing that noisy family was a mixed bag for the two grandsons. As for how they would be in the future, it all depended on how the Lin family members mixed.

Looking at it now, there was no need to worry.

Lin Heling felt heartache for his grandson. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Tomorrow, go to the county and make a call to Jiusi. If Momo and Bai Bai are still in a bad mood, bring them back. With Big Egg and the others here to lead them in playing, their worries will dissipate quickly."

Uncle De volunteered: "If you need to pick someone up, I'll go."

Without waiting for Lin Heling to refuse, he said: "I look old, but my body isn't bad. Picking up two children... for me, it's not a thing."

He was naturally fond of movement; letting him stay in one place all the time was torture for him.

Uncle De remembered the days when he followed the old master and the family head everywhere; it was truly free.

"We'll see," Lin Heling said, "Those two at Jiusi's place are clingy to Jiusi; they might not be willing to come. It's still better to respect the children's wishes."

Uncle De had been at the Lin family for a week and of course knew about the Lin family's old and young being kidnapped since childhood. When he first found out, he was both heartbroken and furious, almost fainting.

Later, he learned that Meng Jiusi had been sent to the Harvest Brigade and suffered, and had even been "forced" to divorce. Now, she was bringing up two sons by herself. His heart ached so much his mouth twitched, and he pinched his own philtrum, afraid of being angered into a faint.

Lin family members, how could they, how could they live like little bitter melons?!

Thus, Meng Jiusi became a little bitter melon in Uncle De's heart, and he was as compassionate as he could be toward her.

Learning that Meng Jiusi was studying medicine, he mailed her the rare medical books he had in his hands.

Inside the house.

Yubao and Hengbao witnessed Big Egg and Second Egg's great strength. The two cubs' eyes were round, their little mouths wide open, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

"Brother, I want to learn." Hengbao rolled his eyes, the first to "rebel." ===== CHAPTER 330 =====
