Chapter 392: People with backing are really arrogant
"Dad!" Li Bao stomped his feet, looking incredulous.
Gu Yuanshan showed a demonic smile.
The child turned his little head, learned Gu Hangbao's way of acting like a spoiled child, pulled his dad's hem, and dragged out his tone, "Dad~~"
Gu Yuanshan looked strange. When did this cub, who only knew how to be blunt, learn to act like a spoiled child?
"Go home." He patted his son's back of the head.
Li Bao continued to pull his hem. "Are you still going to complain to Mom?"
"Not anymore, not anymore, don't pull, you're pulling the cotton out." Gu Yuanshan patted his son's hand down.
He reached out to touch the new cotton-padded jacket Li Bao was wearing.
"Your Third Aunt made this for you?"
Li Bao raised his chin. "Third Aunt found a tailor to make it for me, the same as Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao's."
He rolled the cotton jacket with his fingers, revealing the thick sweater he was wearing inside, and continued to show off, "My Third Aunt knitted this for me; it's so warm."
Gu Yuanshan gritted his teeth. "The silly boy has good luck."
"I'm not silly!" Li Bao frowned in anger.
Soon he laughed again. "I have good luck, hehe, Third Uncle and Third Aunt are good to me."
Meng Jiusi handed the luggage in his hand to Gu Yuanshan. "This is Li Bao's luggage."
Good guy, one small luggage bag became two large luggage bags.
How many things did Gu Laosan and Gu Laosan's wife prepare for his son?
Gu Yuanshan hurriedly took it and said embarrassedly, "Thanks, you've worked hard all the way. Did this kid cause you any trouble?"
"No, Li Bao is very well-behaved," Meng Jiusi said.
His sister liked this child, so he loved the house and its crow; he didn't find it annoying. Besides, Li Bao was indeed well-behaved; he didn't disturb him on the road except for going to the bathroom.
Gu Yuanshan felt relieved. "That's good; this kid only has this one advantage."
Li Bao was dissatisfied. "Dad! I have many advantages; I am diligent, I don't need you and Mom to worry about my studies, I am kind, brave..."
Staying with Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao for a long time indeed makes people easily inflated.
Gu Yuanshan couldn't bear to look.
"Which child in the village doesn't have these qualities you mentioned?"
Li Bao choked, buried his head, and walked forward.
Meng Jiusi shook his head.
Several people left the station and got on the ox cart. Halfway through, Meng Jiusi got off the cart and walked straight to the Dongfeng Brigade.
He came back with large and small bags, all brought for his family.
Lin Zhao sent a package before the New Year, and both the Lin and Gu families had received it.
Li Bao returned to the village and was stopped by people in the village to ask questions before he even got home.
"Tie Chui, what does it feel like to spend the New Year in the army? I heard there is big fish and meat; did you eat it?"
"Tie Chui seems to have gained weight; his face is rounder by a circle. It seems your Third Uncle and Third Aunt didn't treat your mouth badly. How are they in the army?"
"Tie Chui, did you see Su Yuxian and Baozhen in the army?" This was someone who loved to watch the fun.
Liao Hongjuan, Su Yuxian's biological mother, rushed to Li Bao, her eyes, which looked big because of her thinness, staring at him. "Li Bao, why hasn't my Yuxian sent money home for months? There wasn't even a package for the New Year. Did something happen to her?"
Gu Yuanshan pulled his son's back collar and dragged him behind him.
"If you want to ask, ask, don't get so close. Can you afford the responsibility if you hurt my son?"
Liao Hongjuan smiled without warmth. "Can I eat your son?"
She looked at Li Bao. "Did something happen to my Yuxian?"
Li Bao shook his head. "No. When I came home, she even said she wanted to make dumplings for Uncle Lu."
Everyone fell silent, subconsciously casting their eyes on Liao Hongjuan.
"Impossible." Liao Hongjuan rushed forward, wanting to pull Li Bao out and ask carefully.
Gu Yuanshan retreated with his son.
"I'm not someone who doesn't hit women. You'd better stand where you are and don't move. I've warned you; don't blame me if I kick you and hurt you."
You can't do without some blood in the countryside, especially men. If you are too soft, people will treat you as a fool.
Gu Yuanshan almost suffered a loss when he was young. Since then, his temper toward outsiders has become very tough.
A soft belly toward family and hard thorns toward outsiders is conducive to family harmony.
Liao Hongjuan remembered Gu Yuanshan's temper and didn't dare to get close.
"Li Bao, didn't you see wrong? You aren't talking nonsense, are you?"
Li Bao held his dad's hand, full of security, frowning. "Everyone in the brigade knows I'm an honest child; I never lie!"
Liao Hongjuan gritted her teeth hard, making a creaking sound.
The heartless money-losing goods have money to make dumplings but no money to remit money or mail things to her maiden home.
Look at the wife of the Gu family's Gu Laosan. After following the army, she mailed a package every few days, both to her maiden home and her husband's home, such a large package!
She was so angry that she turned around and went home to find her son to write a letter to Su Yuxian.
Letters sent to the military region have special people to check them. The inspector in the communication room finished reading the letter and sighed. Another victim of a family that values boys over girls.
Sympathizing in her heart, when Su Yuxian came to pick up the letter, she gave her a candy.
Su Yuxian was stunned.
After Liao Hongjuan left, Li Bao saw Gu Mu running over. He trotted over and shouted happily, "Grandma, Grandma, I'm back!"
Gu Mu looked at him carefully. "You've gained weight and grown taller. I almost didn't recognize you in this outfit; you look like a city child."
Li Bao turned around. "My Third Aunt asked someone to make it for me."
He took out a few photos from the cloth bag he was carrying. "Grandma, these are the photos Third Aunt took for us. Xiang Yubao said if you miss them, look at the photos."
"Oh right, there are also letters. Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, and Qian Bao wrote letters, and Yaobao drew pictures."
Gu Mu laughed until she couldn't see her teeth.
"Go, go home, Grandma will make you noodles. There is also canned fish sent back by your Third Aunt at home; let's open a can for our Li Bao."
The cubs in the family had all tasted it. She left a bottle for Li Bao. As for Xiang Yubao and the others, it's easy to imagine that Gu Laosan and Gu Laosan's wife wouldn't treat their mouths badly.
Sigh, a year has passed; I really miss her four grandchildren.
A flash of loss flashed in Gu Mu's eyes, and she led Li Bao home.
"Grandma, I've tasted canned fish. Third Aunt opened it; it's so fragrant, and it's also fragrant to mix noodles with that sauce," Li Bao said. "Grandma, Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao asked me to tell you that they miss you. They also said to let you and Grandpa not work too hard; their New Year's money is all saved, and they can support you. We are a year older and will soon grow into adults. When that time comes, we will buy you new clothes, buy meat, buy candy..."
Gu Mu's tears were about to fall.
Her grandchildren.
"I miss Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao too." Her voice trembled, and her nose felt sore.
"Li Bao, tell me about what you saw and heard in the army. No one bullied you, right?"
"No!" Li Bao said loudly. "No one bullied us. Da Huang and Amber follow us wherever we go; they will protect us. We are a group wherever we go; whoever bullies us has no eyes. Grandma, don't worry, we remember what you said; we don't act alone wherever we go."
Gu Mu said, "It's good that you weren't bullied."
The grandmother and grandson returned home affectionately.
Huang Xiulan kneaded the dough, rolled out the noodles, and put them on the cutting board, just waiting for her son to come back. Who knew that she waited and waited but didn't see anyone.
Gu Lan went out to ask around and found out that the kid had been taken to the old house by his grandma.
"Forget it, the noodles were rolled out in vain."
Tie Dan popped out. "Why in vain? Am I not still here? Mom, Li Bao doesn't care to eat, I care."
Huang Xiulan said angrily, "What don't you care to eat?"
"I don't care to eat shit," Tie Dan answered naturally.
Gu Lan: "..."
"Disgusting kid, get lost." Huang Xiulan gave her son a look and went to the old house to see her youngest son.
"Mom, I'll go with you." Gu Lan caught up.
Tie Dan also followed. "You go, I want to go too."
"You are a follower." Huang Xiulan scolded with a smile.
Tie Dan ran in front of them and turned back to laugh. "Now I'm in front of you."
Before the tail sound disappeared, he ran away rapidly.
"This kid is really asking for a beating." Huang Xiulan said angrily, feeling more and more that her own A Lan was good; boys were too naughty.
Gu Lan pursed her lips and smiled, not making a sound. She knew her mother was talking angry words.
The mother and daughter arrived at the old house.
Gu Mu greeted her eldest granddaughter. "A Lan is here, come in and serve the noodles, you eat a little too, I made a lot."
Gu Lan didn't stand on ceremony with her biological grandma, walked into the kitchen with light steps, where Li Bao and the others were eating. She served the bowl with the most on the stove and sat down next to Yu Yu to eat.
Tie Dan clamped a piece of fish for his sister. "Sister, you eat fish. One piece each."
There weren't many pieces of meat in a can, and all the children shared it, all tasting the flavor.
"Okay, no meat left, let's share the remaining sauce too, one spoonful each, anyone have an opinion?" Bang Bang asked.
The answer sounded in unison.
"No..."
Bang Bang shared the sauce in the can bottle; it was oily and fragrant, especially fragrant when mixed with noodles.
"I want this bottle." Tie Dan raised his hand to strive for it. "I want to use it as a water bottle."
Bang Bang: "I have no opinion."
Lai Mei: "Seconded."
Yu Yu used chopsticks to roll the noodles and stuffed them into her mouth, sauce on her cheeks. Hearing her brothers' words, she blinked her eyes and said obediently, "I listen to my brother."
Li Bao grinned. "I have a water bottle, and I have no opinion."
Hearing this, the others looked at him with disgust.
Really want to hit someone!
"Minority obeys majority, then the bottle is Tie Dan's." Bang Bang said.
Tie Dan laughed and fished away the glass bottle, laughing until he showed a mouthful of big white teeth.
After eating the hot soup noodles, Li Bao followed his parents back to his own home.
The first thing to do when getting home was to pack up the luggage.
Gu Yuanshan and Huang Xiulan saw that their Li Bao had several more new clothes, and the couple was stunned.
"Third Aunt is too good to Li Bao, so good that I don't know how to repay her..." Huang Xiulan sighed.
At this time, Li Bao took out the money and tickets his parents asked him to bring.
"Mom, give it back to you."
Huang Xiulan's face changed slightly, and she said anxiously, "Why did you bring it back? Didn't I warn you to give it to your Third Aunt? To offset your food rations, how can you eat and drink for free."
"Third Aunt doesn't want it," Li Bao said. "Third Aunt said she treats me as her own child, so I don't need to pay for food."
He looked serious. "Third Uncle and Third Aunt are good to me; when I grow up, I will also be filial to Third Uncle and Third Aunt."
Gu Yuanshan patted his son's head. "Knowing gratitude and repaying it, this is the way of a man. Remember what you said; be filial to your Third Uncle and Third Aunt in the future. They are heart-to-heart with you; you can't be a white-eyed wolf."
The couple of Gu Laosan don't want anything, but the younger generation who benefits cannot be heartless.
"I'm not a white-eyed wolf." Li Bao said seriously.
He took out his New Year's money, put it into the piggy bank, and laughed happily.
He saved another five yuan; he must continue to cheer up. When Gu Hangbao buys a big car, he will give it all to him.
The couple in the big house didn't know their son's thoughts.
Huang Xiulan caught a glimpse of the money, which was not small, and said in surprise, "Why so much money? The New Year's money your Third Uncle and Third Aunt gave you?! This is too much!"
Just a child under ten years old.
She was almost twenty back then, and she didn't have that much money in her pocket.
"Not only what Third Uncle and Third Aunt gave, but also Great-Grandpa Meng, Uncle Meng, Grandma Ning, and Uncle Ning..." Li Bao counted with his fingers.
He looked at his Tie Dan vigilantly. "Brother, you are not allowed to touch my piggy bank."
Tie Dan: "!!!"
"Look down on whom." He was so angry that he pinched the soft flesh on his brother's face, using some force.
"Who told you to always grab my food before." Li Bao was unconvinced.
"Grabbing food and stealing money are two different things, you kid..." Tie Dan took a deep breath, gritting his teeth. "You kid just came back and made me angry; sure enough, a younger brother is the most annoying existence in the world."
Li Bao was silent for a moment. "I'm just reminding you, why are you so sensitive?"
Tie Dan was almost vomiting to death.
After not seeing him for a few months, his younger brother's speech became unpleasant... annoying.
After the New Year, Lin Zhao started work. She didn't need to sit in the office, and her salary was not low. This made some comrades who couldn't see others doing well sour.
After a lot of trouble, the unlucky one was naturally not Lin Zhao, who had real materials. The troublemakers were named and criticized.
When Lin Zhao heard about it, the person who was sour about her was reading a self-reflection letter.
Seeing her look confused, Song Zhi told her the reason, and Lin Zhao realized that so many things had happened before.
"... I didn't notice."
Song Zhi looked at her with envy. "Of course you couldn't notice. Deputy Regiment Commander Gu and Dr. Meng were both angry. Director Qian investigated quickly and caught those who spread words unfavorable to unity, so that's why it is like this now."
Lin Zhao said oh. "No wonder I felt that others looked at me strangely; so that's it."
That was a complex expression of envy mixed with sourness, and sourness mixed with disdain, like a pie chart.
Regarding this, Lin Zhao didn't mind at all. She wasn't ashamed at all because she had backing.
Her little brother worked so hard to improve the prescription, develop new drugs, and work hard to get promoted, just to back her up so she wouldn't be bullied.
It was only natural for him to back his sister.
Not to mention Gu Chenghuai, that goes without saying.
His wife was rumored to be sour; could he not be angry?
Because of this, Gu Chenghuai was holding fire in his heart, feeling that his position was too low, and he had to continue to climb up, climbing to a position where no one had the idea of finding trouble for Zhaozhao.
Song Zhi comforted her: "Don't pay attention to those people; they envy you for having someone to protect you. You live your own life steadily, and after a few other fresh things happen, no one will pay attention to this."
"It doesn't matter; I don't care." Lin Zhao's expression was calm.
There weren't many people who were on good terms with her; she didn't care what those people said.
"Nothing good to see, I'll go back first."
Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "You go, I'll look a little longer."
Lin Zhao turned and left. The person reading the self-reflection letter saw this scene, and the paper in her hand was almost torn to pieces.
So angry.
People with backing are really arrogant!
Not long after Lin Zhao got home, Gu Chenghuai came back from work.
He found his wife and asked deliberately, "Do you know about the things outside?"
"The matter of those few sisters-in-law reading self-reflection letters in public? I know; I felt it was boring, so I came back," Lin Zhao said.
Seeing his wife in a good mood, Gu Chenghuai lowered his head slightly. "You weren't sulking, right?"
The words those people spread were not pleasant; he was angry when he heard them. He was afraid that Zhaozhao would be angry, so he didn't tell her, thinking that she would naturally know after he solved it.
"No, didn't you all solve it?" Lin Zhao's bright eyes were full of smiles, hooking Gu Chenghuai's hand. "Gu Chenghuai, you and my little brother protected me very well; I didn't suffer any grievances, don't think too much."
Gu Chenghuai looked at his wife steadily for a few seconds, leaned over, and hugged her soft waist. "It's good that you didn't suffer grievances."
Afraid that Zhaozhao would suffer more grievances while he was on a mission, he heard the rumors this time... he acted vigorously and reported to the military region, demanding strict investigation and punishment... He was quite satisfied with the result. In this way, no one should dare to chirp anymore.
Zhaozhao wants to go to work to relieve boredom, but suffering grievances won't do. She is only twenty-five, still a girl; there is no need to suffer grievances for that little money. He, as a husband, can't bear it. ===== CHAPTER 393 =====
