Chapter 393: Should go back and see

~16 min read 3,115 words

Lin Zhao saw that Deputy Regiment Commander Gu was very nervous, afraid that she would sulk, and said with a smile, "I'm really not angry."

"Our family lives well, and I have a good job. It's too normal to be envied by others. You can't have everything; people still have the right to envy and be jealous. Let them be."

"My wife is really open-minded." Gu Chenghuai kissed her forehead, his tone proud.

Mostly in the eyes of those who love you, you are a shining point everywhere. He can always find points to praise you; Gu Chenghuai is like this.

Lin Zhao's eyebrows relaxed. "I've always been open-minded."

The open-minded Lin Zhao was approached by someone at noon that day.

The reason was that Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao hit someone.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Gu's wife, come out. Your children are too bullying; look at how my son was beaten."

"Is there anyone? Don't hide inside and not make a sound. Open the door quickly, or we will also find the leader to preside over justice."

"Ganging up to beat my child, Gu Zhiyu and Gu Zhiheng are too overbearing, and your dog is too fierce; my child was crying in anger."

Lin Zhao heard the sound and came out of the room.

"What's the situation?"

"It sounds like Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao had friction with other children?" Qiao Hui took off the apron on her body, wiped her hands, and walked over to open the door.

Taking care of the four cubs for almost a year, she naturally favored her own children.

Lin Zhao: "..."

Qiao Hui opened the door, and several sisters-in-law leading their own children rushed toward the Gu family.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Gu's wife, look at my son's head; your Gu Hangbao beat it. You must be responsible."

"My son's chin was hit by Xiang Yubao; it's broken, and you must be responsible."

"And my son's leg is broken, and his pants are broken with a hole; you have to compensate."

The sound of calculating accounts was noisy.

Lin Zhao finally managed to interject.

Ignoring the questions of several people, she asked expressionlessly, "Why did my son hit your son?"

Several people looked at each other and suddenly fell silent.

Lin Zhao narrowed her eyes.

Something is wrong.

The leading sister-in-law had just read the self-reflection letter in public this morning. Hearing her question, her heart sank.

She skipped Lin Zhao's question and said unreasonably, "Regardless of why, the injury on my child's head is real. Don't try to deny it!"

"My son is not an overbearing child; they can hit people, which means they couldn't bear it anymore. Instead of coming to me, it's better to ask what your child did." Lin Zhao stood lazily in the yard, her tone lazy and casual, her gaze flowing on several children, her expression revealing scrutiny.

Several children were looked at by her and lowered their heads.

Who among the children in the family courtyard didn't envy the twins for having a super-invincible good mother?

They had new clothes to wear, ate meat every few days, their small cloth bags were never short of candy, and there were toys they had never seen before...

Even children who had never seen Lin Zhao had a good impression of her.

At this moment, feeling the gaze falling on them, they were all a bit uncomfortable.

The woman was unhappy, her eyebrows stood up. "What do you mean? You don't want to admit it?"

Lin Zhao hadn't answered yet when the twins, who had finished their homework at the Ning family, came back, and Mao Dan'er came back with them.

Seeing someone coming to the house to find trouble, Xiang Yubao stuffed his schoolbag into Mao Dan'er's arms, his feet like stepping on wind fire wheels, rushed over, and stood in front of Lin Zhao.

"What are you doing at my house? If you have something, find me; don't find trouble for my mom."

He glared at the few boys who were beaten, the whole person like a little wolf cub in anger. "You are talking nonsense; you deserve to be beaten! If there is another time, I will still beat you!"

Several women were furious.

"So arrogant! Deputy Regiment Commander Gu's wife, your son must be taught; he doesn't admit his mistake at all..."

Lin Zhao knew the fact that her son hit someone, her tone was light, revealing a coldness.

"Are you deaf?" She interrupted the roaring woman.

"My son said, if your son talks nonsense again, he will still hit people. What is the premise? It's that your son has a broken mouth. If you have a broken mouth, you should be beaten. Where is it wrong? And where does it need to be taught? My son is very good; his three views are straighter than some adults. Instead, it's you, your mouth is not cultivated, and even the children have learned to be bad. You are the ones who need to admit your mistakes."

Her face suddenly turned cold. "Leave my house immediately."

People who often greet people with a smile suddenly pulled their faces down, which was quite scary.

Qiao Hui drove people away with a big broom.

"Get out! Get out quickly! Don't occupy the land in the house!"

Afraid of being hit, several women hurriedly retreated with their sons.

"Slap!"

Qiao Hui closed the door.

She had grown up so big and had never raised her voice at anyone. After driving people away, she felt nervous, and her heart was thumping.

Gu Hangbao held Qiao Hui's hand, his eyes bright. "Aunt Hui is mighty."

Xiang Yubao also followed: "Aunt Hui is amazing."

After being driven out, several women scolded loudly. Mao Dan'er walked over to open the door and said the first sentence, "Haven't you written enough self-reflection letters, aunts?"

Several people didn't dare to scold the son of the Ning family, and didn't even dare to say a word of rebuttal. They pulled their faces down and left with their sons.

Lin Zhao gave a thumbs up. "Thank you, Mao Dan'er. Stay and eat together later. I will personally make a dish you like, spicy chicken, how about it?"

Mao Dan'er and the twins are good friends; the three children often eat together, with you sponging a meal at my house and me sponging a meal at yours.

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Lin." The young boy's gaze was bright, his standing posture like a straight little white poplar, the whole person revealing a confident and calm air.

Mao Dan'er was growing more and more outstanding.

"What thanks, I should thank you. If you hadn't come forward, those who bully the soft and fear the hard wouldn't have left so quickly." Lin Zhao saw it very clearly. Those people were looking for a place to find trouble. They read the self-reflection letter in public at noon, didn't they lose both face and inside? Of course, they had to find a way to vent their anger.

Xiang Yubao walked to Lin Zhao and asked nervously, "Mom, did we cause trouble?"

"It can't be called causing trouble." The children were protecting her, so Lin Zhao couldn't criticize them, lest she talk away the children's bloodiness.

She hugged her two sons. "My Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao can protect me; they are men."

Xiang Yubao didn't regret hitting people, but he had been worried that his mother would be angry. At this time, being hugged, happy bubbles were bubbling in his heart.

"I am Mom's son; I must protect Mom." He said.

"Good." Lin Zhao kissed her son's forehead.

Gu Hangbao stood on tiptoe. "What about me, what about me, I want to kiss too."

Lin Zhao also kissed him.

Looking at this scene, a flash of envy flashed in Mao Dan'er's eyes. He missed his mom... when his mom was there, she would also hug him and kiss him.

Catching a glimpse of Mao Dan'er's expression, Lin Zhao hugged her two sons and walked over, and hugged Mao Dan'er together.

Her voice was soft. "Mao Dan'er is also a little adult."

She hugged him lightly and let go.

Mao Dan'er's handsome face suddenly turned red. Aunt Lin's embrace was so warm, a bit like his mom.

Because of this hug, he remembered his biological mother's embrace, and the corners of his mouth hooked into an arc.

The days of following the army were quite peaceful.

In the middle, some people wanted to bring the miasma from outside into the army, but were pressed down by several leaders above. The troublemakers were expelled from the military region. As a result, the surging wind and clouds instantly returned to calm, and no one dared to make trouble again.

In the fifth year of Lin Zhao following the army with her children, a telegram was sent from her hometown. The content of the telegram was that Old Mrs. Gu was gone.

It was a happy funeral; the old lady left in her sleep and didn't suffer much.

She took the telegram and went home.

"Sister Hui, Gu Chenghuai's grandma is gone; we have to go back to our hometown."

The news came too suddenly. Qiao Hui was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

A complex look appeared on her face. "I should also go back and see my mom."

These years, she had been in contact with her mom by letter and sent photos, but they hadn't met.

"What about Regiment Commander Gu?" Qiao Hui asked.

After hard work, Gu Chenghuai removed the deputy title on his head and had been Regiment Commander Gu two years ago. He had been accumulating military merit in the past two years, and becoming a Brigade Commander was a matter of time.

"Can't be contacted; we'll go back ourselves," Lin Zhao said.

Gu Chenghuai went on an emergency mission and had been away from home for four months. No news had been sent back, and she didn't even know where he was; maybe he was hiding in some corner.

The man had a protective amulet on him, so Lin Zhao wasn't too worried.

"What about Xiang Yubao and the others? Are they going back together?" Qiao Hui continued to ask.

Lin Zhao thought for a while and said, "Yes, they haven't been back to their hometown for a few years; it's time to take them back to see."

Xiao Xiao Hu Po pricked up its ears. Seeing that the owner didn't mention it, it rubbed its big head against Lin Zhao's leg and barked.

"Xiao Xiao Hu Po is asking about them." Qiao Hui suppressed a smile.

The four little pets raised at home were smart. She always felt they were like children and could think.

Lin Zhao showed a thoughtful look. Bring or not bring?

"Woof..." Xiao Xiao Hu Po pawed at Lin Zhao's feet.

"Thinking about it, don't lose your temper." Lin Zhao patted the dog's head. Fortunately, Da Huang went to the school gate to wait for Xiang Yubao and the others to finish school. If the two were making trouble together, she couldn't stand it.

After thinking about it again and again, Lin Zhao said, "It's very troublesome to bring them, and I have to bring them food..."

Before she finished speaking, the barking revealed some dissatisfaction.

Xiao Xiao Hu Po bit Lin Zhao's trouser leg falsely, shaking its head, as if acting like a spoiled child.

Qiao Hui smiled. "I think... it's probably not easy to leave them behind."

It was indeed not easy to leave them behind. Lin Zhao didn't nod to take them back to her hometown, and the two dogs were howling at night, and they were scratching the door, scratching the door of the room where Lin Zhao lived.

She was woken up halfway through her sleep.

She was so angry that she pinched the ears of the rabbit doll a few times.

Lin Zhao got up, opened the door, and stared at the two dogs with fire in her eyes.

"Are you still letting people sleep? In the middle of the night, what are you making trouble for?"

She rubbed the heads of the two dogs, her words full of indescribable annoyance.

Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po let her rub them, and even took the initiative to push their heads, sending their heads into her palm.

Black and bright eyes looked at the hostess.

Having lived together for several years, how could Lin Zhao not understand the thoughts of these two?

"Bring, bring you back, don't make trouble, if you make trouble again, I won't bring you," she threatened.

The tails of the two dogs wagged fast.

They turned and left, one entered Yaobao's room, and one entered the room where the three boys slept.

Lin Zhao:... They have become spirits.

It's good to bring them. Dogs are the most loyal to protect their owners. She was also afraid that the two would think they had been abandoned.

But Coal Ball and Little Gold had to stay behind, let Jingmo and Guangbai take care of them. The rice balls of the Meng family had been raised into pig cats by the two boys.

The next day.

Lin Zhao entrusted Gu Chenghuai's police officer to buy tickets, and she went to school to ask for leave for the four cubs, and entrusted the affairs at home to the neighbors who got along well, and stepped on the road home that night.

The twins were already middle school students, and the boy-girl twins were also in elementary school...

They didn't lack nutrition and grew taller than ordinary children. The boys were handsome and tall, the girls were delicate and lovely, and their mother was fair and beautiful, with a good temperament.

This family didn't dress outstandingly, but they were just good-looking, and they were extremely eye-catching when walking on the road.

Yaobao was wearing a doll-collar dress with small white leather shoes on her feet.

Qian Bao was wearing a white round-neck short sleeve, paired with military green suspenders, carrying his own small schoolbag, with hair that was neither long nor short, as beautiful as a little girl.

Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao took the luggage and turned back to exhort their younger brother and sister.

"You two must follow the adults closely; don't be squeezed away," Xiang Yubao said.

Qian Bao lifted his eyelids, his black and bright eyes had no waves, simply a small version of Gu Chenghuai.

"My sister and I are not three-year-old children."

"That's right, that's right," Yaobao chimed in.

She hugged Lin Zhao's arm and complained in a soft voice, "Mom, look at Big Brother; he looks down on me and Little Brother."

Lin Zhao hugged her daughter's shoulder. "Your Big Brother is concerned about you."

Yaobao giggled, her eyes full of cunning.

"Bad girl, teasing your Big Brother all day." Lin Zhao tapped the tip of her nose.

"Who told Big Brother and Second Brother not to talk all day," Yaobao pouted, her beautiful little face full of dissatisfaction.

The twins were in the middle of voice change, and their voices were duck-like, so they naturally didn't want to open their mouths.

"Your Big Brother and Second Brother are changing their voices; give them some time," Lin Zhao said.

"Mom, will my voice become the same as my brother's?" Yaobao asked nervously.

"No." Lin Zhao kept an eye on the family members to ensure everyone got on the train.

Gu Chenghuai's guard sent them to the sleeper, found the train attendant to take care of the Regiment Commander's family, and then left.

The train rattled for a week.

Lin Zhao took the children home.

Compared with the last trip, she obviously felt that there were more people traveling...

After next year, the college entrance examination should be restored the year after, and society will slowly open up. It is not strange that fresh signs appear.

Lin Zhao's gaze was expectant.

She couldn't wait to witness the era of free speech, where one can wear red and green, and also go into the university campus she dreamed of to see...

Out of the train station, Xiang Yubao saw Gu Qingzhou on the tractor at a glance.

"Little Uncle!" He waved his arms.

"Woof woof..." Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po rushed toward Gu Qingzhou, cherished him for a while, and then ran toward their little master, very lively.

Gu Qingzhou laughed and trotted over.

"Third Sister-in-law, you are back," he said happily.

"Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, Qian Bao, Yaobao, you have grown so big; I missed you to death." Gu Qingzhou hugged his nephews and nieces fiercely and took the luggage from the twins' hands.

"Little Uncle, we missed you too!" Xiang Yubao's face was full of longing.

Hearing his voice that was no longer clear, the smile in Gu Qingzhou's eyes deepened. "Voice changed? Not used to it, right?"

Xiang Yubao laughed. "Not used to it at first, but it's okay now."

Gu Hangbao pawed at his Little Uncle's arm. "Little Uncle, is that tractor from our brigade?"

"Yes." Gu Qingzhou took them toward the tractor.

Lin Zhao and the others climbed up and sat down.

The place where people could sit was covered with straw mats, which looked like the craftsmanship of Gu Father and Gu Mother.

Gu Hangbao insisted on sitting next to his Little Uncle, and Gu Qingzhou followed him.

"Haven't been back for a few years, the brigade's development is fast," Lin Zhao said happily in her heart.

"The brigade can have today, and it also has a relationship with Third Sister-in-law," Gu Qingzhou said with honor. "One is herbal medicine planting, one is mushroom cultivation, both are technologies that can make money. Other brigades envy our brigade. They all say... why doesn't their own brigade have a leader like Third Sister-in-law."

Lin Zhao didn't dare to take this credit. "Herbal medicine planting was led by Eldest Sister-in-law, and it has nothing to do with me. I can't take such a high evaluation."

Scary.

She changed the subject. "How are you?"

Gu Qingzhou started the tractor. This tractor was improved by him, and the noise was not so loud when starting.

He raised his voice and said: "I am very good. Under the master's operation... I entered the grain and oil station. The salary is high, the benefits are good, how many people envy me."

Xiang Yubao asked loudly: "Little Uncle, do you drive a tractor at the grain and oil station?"

Gu Qingzhou was almost choked by saliva. "No, I am a technician." ===== CHAPTER 394 =====
