Chapter 367: True coldness is not a big quarrel

~15 min read 2,904 words

"Really silly." Gu Chenghuai said.

Qingzhou elongated his tone, "Third Brother."

Then he told Gu Chenghuai about his apprenticeship.

"Third Brother, Master is really amazing and patient, I've learned a lot. Brother Yuncheng is also amazing, he's the one who brought me into the door..."

Finally, he added, "Third Sister-in-law is the best, she arranged it for me. Third Brother, you must be good to Third Sister-in-law, otherwise... I won't stand on your side."

Gu Chenghuai understood.

No wonder he was laughing foolishly.

So he had apprenticed...

"Nonsense." He glanced at his little brother lightly.

That's his wife, can he not be good to her?

"Did you see the washing machine my master sent to Third Sister-in-law?" Gu Qingzhou asked excitedly. In front of the Third Brother he admired the most, he was always more lively.

"Saw it." Gu Chenghuai replied.

"Don't you know how my master got the washing machine?" Gu Qingzhou's eyes were shockingly bright, very excited.

Without waiting for his Third Brother to answer, he continued without leaving a gap, "It's because of that derailleur."

"The derailleur is cross-industry for Third Brother... it's the technology that makes bicycles faster. My master gave the technology to an old classmate, and the condition was to exchange it for the washing machine Third Sister-in-law wanted."

Gu Chenghuai only then knew the ins and outs.

"So that's how it is."

"Since Third Sister-in-law has paved the way for you, you should work hard. Don't let down her heart."

Gu Qingzhou nodded seriously, "I will."

"Un."

"Have you seen your grandma?" Gu Fu suddenly asked.

"I went there before coming here." Gu Chenghuai's voice was steady. Gu Grandmother loved face, and he, the most promising grandson, could bring her the most face. If he didn't go there first, the old lady would make a scene. To save trouble, every time he came home, Gu Chenghuai would bring things to her first.

The old lady's harmless vanity, he was willing to fulfill.

"You do things properly, I'm most at ease."

"You're at ease and you still ask..." Gu Mu glared at him. Her mother-in-law hadn't treated her children as well as the second branch's children before. She was petty and felt a belly full of fire when she thought about it. Hearing the old man say this, she was very unhappy.

"Your temper." Gu Fu was full of helplessness, "Third Son wants to rise, he can't ignore his reputation."

Gu Mu understood the logic, she just didn't like hearing the old man say it.

Gu Chenghuai watched his parents bickering without saying a word.

Having been away from home for a long time, seeing his parents quarreling was also a happy thing.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you." Gu Mu said.

She looked at her most proud son with another kind of loving mother's face.

"Did you hear from Zhaozhao that you were in the capital before?"

"Correct, closed-off study." Gu Chenghuai replied.

"Closed-off is good, study is wonderful, my son is really capable, really gives Mother face." Gu Mu praised proudly. She hadn't liked praising people so much before, she learned it all from Third Daughter-in-law.

Lin Zhao would say one sentence: Mother's hands are really skillful, the cotton shoes she made are really comfortable; another sentence: Mother is the most understanding mother-in-law in the whole brigade, having a mother-in-law like you is the blessing of me and Big Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law; then another sentence: Mother really knows how to teach children, the children in our family are all your credit...

These soul-stirring soups were poured down, even gods would get lost.

Later, she also learned to praise people, and it really worked. Sometimes praising people can achieve things that big quarrels can't.

Gu Chenghuai was slightly stunned.

"Brother..." Gu Qingzhou leaned toward his brother and said in a small voice: "Get used to it, Mother learned it from Third Sister-in-law. She said she is the Regiment Commander's mother, she can't shout with a loud voice anymore, she has to speak gently, and she can't peck at the villagers like a rooster anymore, she has to convince people with reason..."

Mother's crooked logic was a lot, he could only think of these.

Gu Chenghuai couldn't help but laugh.

"Being able to give Mother face is my blessing." He said seriously.

Zhaozhao had a charm that could influence people to be good, which made her shine.

"Gives face, gives face!" Gu Mu was proud.

Such a capable son was born by her!

Gu Qingzhou leaned his head to his Third Brother's ear again, "The first few days after knowing you were promoted, Dad and Mother walked with wind. They loved to get into crowds the most. No matter what they were chatting about, the topic could always be pulled to your promotion. For that half month, Aunt Li and Aunt Ye would want to run as soon as they saw Mother..."

"Ahem..." Gu Chenghuai clenched his right fist, pressed it against his lips, and coughed falsely to suppress the urge to laugh.

"Qingzhou, you tilt your head for a while, babble a few words, then tilt your head for a while, babble a few words, what are you saying? What can't be said to our faces!" Gu Mu couldn't help but say.

Gu Qingzhou sat up straight, touched the bridge of his nose, and found a random reason, "Didn't say anything, said Third Brother is Dad and Mother's big pride."

Gu Mu laughed, and said to her youngest son: "You are Dad and Mother's little pride."

Whoosh, the young Qingzhou flushed.

Gu Yucheng clicked his tongue and said sourly on purpose: "Third Son is the big pride, the youngest is the little pride, and Big Brother and I are the scraps!"

Gu Yuanshan's mouth twitched. He didn't have the idea of comparing with his brothers. In Big Brother's heart, he had to support his parents, so he had to be steady.

So, don't mention him.

"Second Son, you talk too much." Gu Mu said unhappily.

Gu Fu touched the beard he had grown and laughed, the lines of age at the corners of his eyes squeezed together, "Big Son and Second Son are also Dad and Mother's pride. You are all Dad and Mother's pride. Giving birth to and raising you four good sons, your Mother and I are really proud. This life really wasn't lived in vain."

Gu Yucheng was satisfied and said loudly: "Third Son sent Dad and Mother roast duck, tomorrow I will send Dad and Mother roast chicken."

"Fine, then I'll wait for it." Gu Fu didn't stand on ceremony with his son, "This year is a good year, have duck and chicken, really good, life is getting better and better."

"Yes." Gu Mu thought of the days when they couldn't eat enough and cherished the good days when they could even eat meat now.

Gu Chenghuai stayed at the old house for half an hour and was shooed back by Gu Mu, telling him to make up for his sleep. As a mother, it hurt to see the dark circles under her son's eyes.

The twins followed their father home.

Once they left, Gu Fu and Gu Mu walked out of the house unhurriedly. One walked toward the east end, and one walked toward the west end, drilling into places with many people.

Don't know what they said, but several envious and jealous complicated gazes shot at the couple.

Aunt Li curled her lips, "The bamboo shoots in the field have all been dug up by you! You came out specifically to show off, right? Isn't it just giving birth to a capable son."

Gu Mu's face was full of smiles, "Second Son said he would send a roast chicken to me and his dad tomorrow."

"... Isn't it just two filial sons."

"Qingzhou has to continue studying with his master after the New Year. The line he wants to squeeze into is very deep, he won't make it without studying seriously for a few years." Gu Mu continued.

"Isn't it just having three smart, lucky, and filial sons, what are you showing off for?" Aunt Li glared at her, bristling, "What else do you want to say?"

"Nothing else." Gu Mu was afraid of being compared by others and didn't even dare to mention her eldest daughter. A-Chan said she would send ten catties of pork to the family for the New Year.

Let's leave it at that.

Keep a low profile.

It wouldn't be good to be envied by others.

Everyone: "... %¥&*#"

Hated people who pretend to be cool the most!

On the big bed, Lin Zhao was sleeping soundly with the two children.

"I want to sleep too." Gu Hangbao took off his outer pants and cotton jacket skillfully, lifted a corner of the quilt, and burrowed in.

Lin Zhao felt something, opened her eyes drowsily, reached out to hug her son, and patted his back lightly.

Xiang Yubao saw his younger brother take the best spot one step ahead of him. His small face appeared annoyed. He repeated Gu Hangbao's actions, burrowed in from the other side of the quilt. Qian Bao and Yao Bao were here, his thought of wanting to hug Mom could only be aborted halfway.

The child sighed lightly. Afraid that his hands were cold and would freeze his younger brother and sister, he put his hands under his butt. After they were warm, he still hugged Qian Bao lightly.

Gu Chenghuai was speechless.

"Where should I sleep?" He pinched his eyebrows in depression.

Gu Hangbao poked his head out from the quilt, pointed toward the direction of their room, and said in a small voice: "Dad go sleep in our room, I'm very generous, willing to share the room with Dad."

"I'm willing too." Xiang Yubao echoed softly.

Gu Chenghuai's voice was slightly deep, "Should I thank you for your generosity in letting me have the room?"

"No need to thank, you're my dad, it's only right for us to be filial to you." Gu Hangbao said with a grin.

"..." Gu Chenghuai felt that Gu Hangbao was simply sent by heaven to punish him.

"This is my room, my bed, shouldn't you go back to your own room?" He suppressed the urge to pick up the four cubs.

"No!" Gu Hangbao hugged Lin Zhao, his face full of stubbornness, "Mom will be cold, I want to warm the quilt for Mom!"

Xiang Yubao was afraid of really being chased out, so he hurriedly explained, "Mom said we are her little stoves, let us come to warm the bed for her."

Gu Chenghuai choked.

It was something Zhaozhao could say.

Xiang Yubao knew how to use strategies. Dad ate soft but not hard, so he acted pitifully and said: "Dad, don't chase us away. Mom said that when we grow a few years older, we can't sleep with her anymore. This is the last winter to sleep with Mom, woo woo woo."

He even faked a few cries to act shamelessly.

Gu Chenghuai: "..." It's really his blessing to have these clever ghosts.

He scanned the bed, trying to find a spot that could accommodate him. There wasn't one. The four cubs were lying horizontally and vertically, occupying more space than adults.

Woo woo woo in his ears, Lin Zhao was startled awake and opened her eyes.

"What's wrong?" The voice just after waking up was tinged with hoarseness.

Gu Chenghuai picked up the thermos, added some hot water to the enamel cup, and sent it to his wife, "Zhaozhao, drink some water first."

Lin Zhao sat up halfway, took it, and drank two mouthfuls to quench her thirst.

"Are you bullying the children again?" She lifted her eyelids.

Gu Chenghuai: "!!!"

True coldness is not a big quarrel.

He didn't want to explain.

His wife was framing him, he was really aggrieved.

If she didn't kiss him ten times, he wouldn't speak again!

Gu Chenghuai swore in his heart.

Seeing his wife didn't drink anymore, he took the enamel cup from Lin Zhao's hand, put it back on the table, and sat on the stool beside the bed in depression. Such a big person, slightly drooping his head, like a big dog chased out of the house.

"??" Lin Zhao was full of question marks.

After a little thought, she knew that the children's father was having a rainstorm in his heart.

She stretched out her arms and hooked Gu Chenghuai's cool fingers with her curved fingers.

"Sit closer, I can't reach you." Lin Zhao's tone was full of complaints, yet had a coquettishness that made people unable to get angry.

Gu Chenghuai moved his body immediately.

Sent his hand over.

"Wife, I'm sleepy." He rarely showed vulnerability.

Lin Zhao retracted her arms, gently picked up the twins, placed them on the very inside, and gave Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao a look. The little brothers lay down in turn.

In this way, a large space was vacated.

Gu Chenghuai took off his clothes in a few seconds, leaving only his shorts, and burrowed into the quilt.

"Wife, I'll warm the quilt for you, my body is hot." He circled Lin Zhao with his long arms and legs and kissed the corner of Lin Zhao's mouth.

Seeing Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao wanting to lean over, he stretched out his long arm, and his index finger pressed against Gu Hangbao's brow, preventing him from moving forward an inch.

"Lie down obediently, otherwise I'll send you two back to your own room." The man's low, pleasant voice spat out words that made the children's hearts cold.

Xiang Yubao pulled his younger brother, "Gu Hangbao, those who know the times are heroes. We can't fight Dad, let's avoid his edge for now and talk about it later."

He looked at his dad with eyes full of fighting spirit.

When he grows up, he wants Dad to listen to him.

Gu Hangbao was also afraid of being carried away, pouted, and lay down obediently.

"... Smart." Gu Chenghuai praised appreciatively.

Pressed the quilt.

A wall of quilt was erected between their couple and the four children.

Seeing this, Gu Hangbao was even angrier.

Xiang Yubao had no reaction.

Dad is more capable than them, it's only right for them to be arranged. When they are capable, they can also become the person who arranges, instead of the person being arranged.

Lin Zhao's cold feet were tucked into the man's leg gap, and her whole body was hugged into his arms.

The man sighed with satisfaction.

"Am I hot or are the four cubs hot?" He asked.

Lin Zhao's face was forced close to the hot, solid chest, and the powerful heartbeat sounded in her ear, thump thump.

"What's there to compare?" She lifted her eyes and gave him a coquettish look.

Gu Chenghuai buried his face in her shoulder, sulking.

What a childish ghost.

Lin Zhao felt helpless in her heart, but this side of the man was only shown in front of her, so she adapted well.

When they were dating, she knew that Gu Chenghuai was a vinegar jar who loved to be petty.

"You're hot, you're hot, the four cubs combined aren't as hot as you." Lin Zhao coaxed in the man's ear.

Gu Chenghuai laughed low.

He didn't care about face, he just wanted his wife to coax him.

Zhaozhao is willing to coax him, which means she has him in her heart, he's beautiful.

"Wife, you're really good."

Lin Zhao was confused, "Why say this suddenly?"

Gu Chenghuai hugged her with satisfaction, the two bodies fitting together perfectly, repeating: "My wife is just good."

"It's really good to be home."

Lin Zhao thought that this person might not have seen his family for a long time, rarely feeling some emotion. She touched the man's prickly short hair and smiled.

"Sleep."

Anyway, the children are here, so they can't do anything 'lewd'.

Gu Chenghuai glanced at the twins whose eyes were wide open, sighed in his heart, hugged his fragrant and soft wife, and closed his eyes.

He didn't smoke or drink, his body smelled clean and fresh, and his body was hot. It was so comfortable to hug and sleep in winter.

Lin Zhao had worked for several days, today was her day to make up for sleep. She didn't do anything else and fell asleep too. When she fell asleep, her hand moved down subconsciously, resting on someone's tight abdominal muscles, her fingertips rubbing from time to time.

Gu Chenghuai opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and his steady eyebrows instantly became wild.

He knew Zhaozhao craved his body.

He lowered his head, left a kiss on Lin Zhao's red lips, and the fingertips on the waist and abdomen accidentally brushed past a certain place. A numbness spread through his whole body, and the muscles on the man's body tightened.

Really tormenting.

"Brother, can we sleep with Mom tomorrow night?" Gu Hangbao hugged his brother, asking with a bitter face, not wanting to look at that domineering dad at all.

Xiang Yubao was silent, "... I think it's difficult."

"If Dad doesn't let me sleep with Mom, I'll run away from home!" Gu Hangbao said hard-heartedly, "I'll go sleep with Li Bao."

Xiang Yubao was silent for a longer time.

Dad is probably wishing for it. ===== CHAPTER 368 =====
