Chapter 380

【Zhao Zhao, hope this letter finds you well.

I just received the common medicines you mentioned, and I am very moved. This is no different from sending charcoal in snowy weather for me. My gratitude is beyond words, and I have no way to repay you, so I can only keep it in my heart and hope to repay you in the future.

Gu Lan and the others are smart and hardworking, learning step by step. As long as they persist, they will achieve something sooner or later. They have me watching over them, so you can rest assured.

I hope everything goes well for you...】

This letter was written by Nan Qiao.

Guan Song Zhiqing's letter wrote about everything: troubles at work, small frictions in life, weird men on the road to blind dates...

Lin Zhao laughed it off after reading it.

Guan Song Zhiqing treated her as a tree hole, not needing her to point fingers, and she could see this clearly.

Next was the one written by Gu Chan.

Between the lines was all the regret of not being able to see them off on the train. Little Stone was sent back to the provincial capital by her and Wei Wei Xiangdong. The little ungrateful one was adapting very well. She sent some things, remember to collect them, and also told Lin Zhao to rest assured about the family, she would go to tidy up the house every once in a while...

Lin Zhao put the three letters into the pure wooden mailbox, took out paper and pen from the drawer, and began to write a reply.

The four cubs were hungry and ran home.

"Mom, Mom..."

As soon as they entered the door, they called for Mom.

Lin Zhao: "..."

Qiao Hui walked out of the kitchen, "Keep it down, your mom is in the room writing a reply. Hungry, right? Shall I get you something to eat?"

As soon as Xiang Yubao heard that Lin Zhao was writing a reply, he temporarily threw the matter of being hungry to the back of his mind, "I won't eat yet. Auntie Hui, give it to Song Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao. I want to write a letter too."

He rushed into the room.

"Xiang Yubao, you haven't washed your hands and face yet," Qiao Hui shouted.

Xiang Yubao braked in an emergency, sighed with annoyance, hurriedly turned back, washed his hands and face, patted himself clean, and hurried back to the room.

"Mom, when are you mailing the letter? I want to write to Grandpa, Grandma, and Li Bao."

Lin Zhao put the written reply into the envelope and replied, "Mailing it tomorrow."

"Oh, I'll go write it now." Xiang Yubao took his younger brother back to the room to write the letter.

Gu Hangbao wanted to pad his stomach, "Brother, can I eat something first? I'm hungry."

"No, write the letter first." Xiang Yubao straightened his face, which was gradually growing up and had the shadow of a young man, looking serious.

"... Alright." Gu Hangbao sat on his own stool, "Brother, help me pass the pencil."

Xiang Yubao took a sharpened pencil from the pen holder and gave it to him.

"Write carefully, don't waste paper."

"Oh, oh."

The brothers sat side by side at the double desk, leaning over to write letters.

Lin Zhao lifted the curtain and took a look, the corners of her mouth hooked, she didn't disturb the two cubs and left quietly.

Speaking of which, Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao seemed to have grown up, the baby fat on their faces was almost gone.

It wasn't strange, they were almost changing teeth, so they had grown up.

Lin Zhao's mood was a bit complicated.

People can't stand being talked about. She had just finished talking to Qiao Hui about the twins changing teeth, and the next morning, Xiang Yubao lost a tooth.

He was quite calm.

He rinsed his mouth with clean water, spat out the blood in his mouth, and then found Lin Zhao with the fallen tooth.

"Mom, my tooth fell out, help me throw it onto the roof."

Lin Zhao was stunned, "You're changing teeth?"

Xiang Yubao opened his hand, and in his palm was a tender white tooth.

The bloodstains had all been washed clean by him.

"One fell out."

"Were you scared?" Lin Zhao pulled her eldest son into her arms, her eyes soft.

"Not scared, I know everyone has to change teeth." Xiang Yubao's ear tips were slightly red, and he answered his mother's question seriously. Having lost a tooth, his speech was leaking air. The face-loving child deliberately kept his mouth tight and didn't smile much.

"Really great," Lin Zhao said proudly.

She looked at Gu Hangbao, "What about Gu Hangbao? Are your teeth uncomfortable?"

Gu Hangbao bared his teeth and looked at his brother with a smile, "No, my teeth are fine."

Xiang Yubao tightened his mouth.

Lin Zhao patted Gu Hangbao's head, "Bad guy, you're not allowed to make fun of your brother."

Gu Hangbao certainly wouldn't admit it, "I didn't laugh."

"Xiang Yubao, let's go, let's go throw the tooth onto the roof." Lin Zhao got up and pulled Xiang Yubao out the door.

Threw the tooth onto the roof.

Xiang Yubao pursed his lips and said worriedly, "Mom, will my teeth grow crooked?"

So he was also worried.

Lin Zhao shook her head, "Don't lick it with your tongue, it won't be crooked."

Xiang Yubao looked terrified, "I licked it, I licked it many times!"

"It's okay, don't lick it again later," Lin Zhao said.

Gu Hangbao's laughter didn't last long, because when he was eating peach cakes in the afternoon, he also lost a tooth. And it was his front tooth.

Looking at himself in the small mirror, the little boy couldn't smile anymore.

Lin Zhao: Hahahaha.

After starting to lose teeth, the twins seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, no longer laughing, looking much more steady, which made Lin Zhao feel unaccustomed.

After the weather warmed up, Gu Gu Chenghuai finally returned home this afternoon.

He had lost some weight, his knife-cut face was even more angular, standing there like a sharp long spear, his eyes were spirited, and his momentum was awe-inspiring.

Seeing him, Lin Zhao's face was full of surprise, she ran forward and hugged his neck.

"Finally home... I even put on a dress before you came back," she complained.

Gu Gu Chenghuai hugged her, his arms shook, his voice hoarse, "I kept you waiting for a long time."

Lin Zhao patted his sturdy arms, her legs landed on the ground, and she pulled the man back into the room, "I'll go find clothes, you change your shoes first."

Gu Gu Chenghuai sat down to change his shoes, his deep gaze locked on his wife, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Yes, everything is fine. Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao are changing teeth, Song Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao are growing up happily, and we have Auntie Hui helping at home. I'm doing great everywhere." Lin Zhao found a clean casual suit and put it aside.

Gu Gu Chenghuai saw that these clothes were unfamiliar, and the corners of his eyes lifted with a smile, "Did you make them for me?"

"Yes." Lin Zhao sat on his lap, held his face with both hands, didn't mind the man's face full of wind and frost, and kissed his slightly dry lips, "You've worked hard, your face is rough."

Gu Gu Chenghuai hugged her slender waist and restrainedly kissed her mouth back.

"Do you dislike it?"

Lin Zhao hugged him, "I don't dislike it."

Gu Gu Chenghuai was afraid that the sweat on his body would smoke his wife, so he said, "I'll go wash up first."

Lin Zhao got up, "Go ahead, there is hot water in the bathroom. What do you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

"Cold noodles, is that okay?" Gu Gu Chenghuai said.

"Okay."

"Make a bit more."

"I know."

When the twins came back from school, they saw the luggage bag in the yard, and their eyes burst with brightness.

"Mom, this... this... my dad is back?!" Gu Hangbao didn't have time to put down his schoolbag, rushed into the kitchen, and his clear voice rang out.

"Yes, your dad is taking a bath," Lin Zhao replied in a good mood.

Gu Hangbao rushed to the bathroom and knocked on the door, "Dad, is it you? You're back?!"

Gu Gu Chenghuai: You might as well just tear down the door.

Putting on his pants in two or three strokes, putting on his short sleeves, he opened the door.

The lively little monkey threw himself on him, shouting excitedly, "Dad, Dad, you're finally back!"

Gu Hangbao bared his teeth, "Dad, look at my teeth, they just grew out!"

Gu Gu Chenghuai picked him up and looked at him carefully for a few times, "They grew well."

"Did you grow taller?" he asked.

"Yes," Gu Hangbao was even more excited, "I exercise with the soldier uncle every day, and I eat several meals a day, so I grow fast."

"Dad, I'll be as tall as you sooner or later."

Gu Gu Chenghuai patted his son's back, put him down, and picked up Xiang Yubao to shake him, "Xiang Yubao is also heavier. You're all young men now."

Xiang Yubao laughed.

"Dad, was your mission successful?"

Gu Gu Chenghuai's thick palms touched his son's head, "Very successful."

"Dad didn't get hurt, right?" Xiang Yubao pulled at his dad's black short sleeves and was caught by the wrist by Gu Gu Chenghuai.

"No, don't touch it randomly."

His body can only be touched by his own wife!!

"Oh, it's good that you didn't get hurt, Mom was so worried about you," Xiang Yubao said with a sigh of relief.

Gu Gu Chenghuai's expression paused slightly, light appeared in his black eyes, and his mouth held a smile, "Your mom was worried about me?"

"Yes, Mom even dreamed of you at night, saying why haven't you come back yet, hoping you would successfully complete the mission," Xiang Yubao said honestly, completely unaware that his dad was secretly happy.

The smile in Gu Gu Chenghuai's deep eyes deepened, he put down Xiang Yubao and walked to the kitchen.

Lin Zhao was busy, and Qiao Hui was helping on the side.

The man was tall, his aura was extraordinary, and his presence was amazing. Lin Zhao saw his figure immediately.

Her black and white almond eyes were stained with a trace of a smile, "It'll be ready soon."

"No rush," Gu Gu Chenghuai said.

There were people in the kitchen, and he couldn't whisper to Zhao Zhao, so he had to leave temporarily.

He talked to the twins in the yard.

"Where are Song Qian Bao and Seeing Yaobao? Sleeping?!"

Xiang Yubao faced the direction of their room and pursed his lips, "Sister is sleeping, Song Qian Bao went to Little Uncle's house."

"I'll go take a look," Gu Gu Chenghuai got up and walked towards the children's room.

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao didn't care and continued to lie down to do their homework.

"Brother, I don't know how to do this question."

Xiang Yubao moved his stool over and asked seriously, "Which one?"

Gu Hangbao pointed with his hand.

His brother's delicate thick eyebrows wrinkled, and his expression was serious, "Gu Hangbao! You were distracted in class again, right? With your learning attitude, how can you get into university!? Do you still want to go to university with Li Bao!?"

"Oh right, Mom said she also wants to go to university. If you can't get in, then I'll sit with Mom, and you can stay at home and feed the pigs..." Xiang Yubao said with a straight face that was gradually growing up, his tone flat as he said heartbreaking words.

Gu Hangbao was lowered lower and lower by his brother's words.

"... I want to go to university, I don't want to raise pigs."

Xiang Yubao slapped the table, "Then fix the problem of not being focused!"

He looked at Gu Hangbao, his rosy lips pursed, "Gu Hangbao, we are brothers, we have to set a good example for our younger siblings. Whether Mom can have a small car, live in a house with a garden, wear beautiful dresses... it all depends on us. If you don't work hard when you are young, what will you do when you grow up?"

Gu Gu Chenghuai, who came out after seeing his daughter: "..."

Is he a wax figure?

Funny.

Gu Hangbao, however, reflected on himself fiercely, "Brother, if I'm distracted again in the future, you slap me!"

Xiang Yubao: "..."

Gu Gu Chenghuai: Ruthless person.

Lin Zhao came out with a bowl and greeted the children and their dad, "Time to eat."

The twins immediately packed up their books, hung their schoolbags on the coat rack in the room, washed their hands, woke up Seeing Yaobao on the bed, and the family sat at the dining table.

Song Qian Bao ate at his Little Uncle's house, so there was no need to worry about him.

Gu Gu Chenghuai had eaten dry rations for many days on the mission, and hadn't eaten a decent meal since coming out of the mountains, so he ate this meal ravenously, leaving the twins dumbfounded.

Lin Zhao's watery eyes were full of heartache. She finished her meal quickly and went into the kitchen to make a winter melon and kelp soup for the man.

A porcelain basin of cold noodles, a bowl of soup, all went into the man's stomach.

Lin Zhao looked at Gu Gu Chenghuai's lower abdomen, it was flat, and she didn't know where he had eaten it all.

"How many days have you not eaten?"

Involving the mission, Gu Gu Chenghuai couldn't say, the corners of his mouth pulled up a smile, and he said vaguely, "Not many days, the food you make is fragrant, I love eating it."

Lin Zhao guessed it had something to do with the mission and didn't pursue it.

"Do you need to go to the leader to report the mission situation? If not, go with me to pick up Song Qian Bao."

"Reported already, let's go pick up Song Qian Bao," Gu Gu Chenghuai picked up Seeing Yaobao and put his fragrant and soft daughter on his neck.

Seeing Yaobao was afraid of heights, but she was used to being lifted, and after tasting the sweetness, she was not so resistant. Her small body lay obediently on her father's head, and her pair of bright, clear eyes smiled into crescent moons.

Gu Gu Chenghuai looked up and said, "Dad just washed his hair, don't drool on Dad's head."

The little girl's soft voice rang out, "No, no drool."

Lin Zhao shook Seeing Yaobao's little hand and turned her head to look at Gu Gu Chenghuai, "Didn't you say your daughter is good at everything, and you don't dislike your daughter?"

"I don't dislike it, I'm afraid you'll dislike it."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao stayed to do their homework, and Qiao Hui cleaned up the pots and bowls. Only Lin Zhao, Gu Gu Chenghuai, and their sweet and cute little daughter went to pick up Song Qian Bao.

It was rare for the family to go out together, which surprised the people in the family compound.

"Deputy Regiment Gu is back from the mission." The military wife who was beating her child at the door stopped beating her child and greeted Gu Gu Chenghuai and Lin Zhao, "Sister Lin, are you going to pick up Song Qian Bao?"

Lin Zhao smiled, "Yes."

After greeting, the family of three's figures went away, and the orange-yellow light fell on them, casting long shadows on the ground.

The military wife watched them leave and continued to beat her child, "I'll let you go to the river, if I don't beat your butt rotten today, I'm not your biological mother!"

The child cried very loudly, "Dad—!"

"Calling Dad? Even if the Jade Emperor comes, it's useless. I've said eight hundred times that you can't go to the riverside, and you still dare to come back covered in water, do you dare again? Do you dare!?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare."

Seeing Yaobao shrank her small body, covering her ears in fear.

"Dad, scared, Bao scared," she said softly, hugging Gu Gu Chenghuai's head.

Gu Gu Chenghuai's heart was about to melt, and he coaxed his daughter with a voice that was both light and gentle, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, what are you afraid of? No one dares to bully my daughter."

Seeing Yaobao was like a small young beast, protected by a powerful father beast, not even a leaf could scrape beside her, and there was only the fragrance of food and flowers around her.

"Ang~"

Lin Zhao pinched her daughter's hand, her eyes filled with tenderness like spring water.

In this life, her daughter has so much love, the bad yellow-haired man outside, don't even think about getting close and bullying her Seeing Yaobao again.

When Song Qian Bao saw Gu Gu Chenghuai, his emotions were more intense than usual. The child, who was never in a hurry, ran towards him, "Dad!"

"Hey, Dad will hold you," Gu Gu Chenghuai opened his arms.

Song Qian Bao rushed into his arms and hugged his neck tightly, "Dad, I missed you."

He was so small, and he looked like a cute little figure in his dad's arms.

The doting in Gu Gu Chenghuai's eyes was about to overflow, and his brows were full of gentleness, "Dad missed you all too. Let's go, go home, Dad will take you to read."

This remark scratched Song Qian Bao's itch.

"Okay."

Gu Gu Chenghuai looked at Meng Meng Jiusi, "Brother, we'll go back first today, let's get together again tomorrow."

"Okay, you go back, go back and have a good sleep," Meng Meng Jiusi felt that his brother-in-law was rough, and if he didn't pay attention, he was afraid Zhao Zhao would dislike him.

Dongfeng Brigade.

Lin Lin Shisheng and Tao Tao had been getting along for several months, and with the blessings of the two children, they went to the county to get their certificate.

"Is the marriage certificate like this? Really rare!"

Tao Tao snatched the marriage certificate from his hand, carefully put it into a transparent bag she didn't know where she got, and put it into her small backpack.

"You haven't been married before, is it necessary to be like this?"

Lin Lin Shisheng said, "I have been married before, but this is the first time I've received a certificate."

Country people getting married, how many get a certificate...

"Ah? Then am I not your first wife? This is too great," Tao Tao said happily.

Lin Lin Shisheng bent down, looking at his little wife with upturned corners of his mouth, "Want to marry me so much?"

"Yes, I like your family," Tao Tao was very frank, "Your parents are really good, they don't value boys over girls at all, I like it so much, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law are also good, Zhao Zhao is also good, she looks good and is a good person..."

Lin Lin Shisheng had black lines, "Do you want to marry me, or marry my family?"

Tao Tao had strong arguments, "Family is also a part of you, what's there to care about!"

What she didn't say was that if the Lin family was not easy to get along with, she would rather remain single than marry, although a good-looking woman remaining single is also a disaster... sigh.

"Also," Lin Lin Shisheng accepted his wife's explanation.

Tao Tao sighed in her heart, if she had told the man earlier that she had been cold when she was a child and couldn't have children, maybe they would have been married long ago.

"What are you sighing for? It's our big happy day, sighing is so unlucky, hurry up and suck it back," Lin Lin Shisheng said.

Tao Tao hurriedly took several breaths.

"... Is that enough?"
