Chapter 43: You will be unlucky

"Mom~~" Ercai hugged Lin Zhao, the action was sudden, making the things in her hand almost fall to the ground.

"Slow down, if it falls to the ground, you pick it up yourself." Lin Zhao scolded with a smile.

Hearing the smile in her words, Ercai knew Mom wasn't angry, the tension dissipated, he leaned over and took the initiative to help Mom hold it, "Mom, I'll hold it."

His little eyes looked at the familiar small bamboo basket, his eyes curved into crescents.

Gu Da Cai wanted to take the rice bag in Lin Zhao's hand, but was refused by her, "This is heavy, don't move, be careful of smashing your feet."

"Then Mom, be slow." Gu Da Cai's face showed worry, and he used his hand to support the bottom of the rice bag.

"Mom is fine, Mom is an adult, I can still carry this bit of rice." Lin Zhao carried the rice bag with one hand, pinched Gu Da Cai's little face with the other, making his brows relax.

"So many things." Ercai rummaged through the things in the bamboo basket, saw a strange one, and exclaimed.

One sound higher than another.

"Mom, what is this?" He held up a small yellow fruit in his right hand, not even as big as his hand, golden yellow, emitting fragrance.

Ercai couldn't describe the fragrance.

"Little honey tangerine, peel the skin and you can eat it." Lin Zhao's voice was soft.

Ercai didn't quite understand, and unceremoniously used his hand to dig, the golden juice splashed into his eyes, he subconsciously rubbed it with his hand, but was caught by Lin Zhao.

"Hands are full of tangerine juice, don't touch your eyes, I'll wash it for you." She took the little honey tangerine from Ercai's hand, put it aside, and pulled him to wash his face.

Ercai's eyes were stimulated to tears, but he said: "Wash eyes is fine, don't wash my face, I just applied fragrance."

Apply it again, he would feel distressed.

"It's okay, Mom will buy it for you again after using it." Or maybe it will be drawn in the lottery after a while.

Ercai's face was full of distress.

"Need money." He said, "Aren't you still going to buy a bicycle, Grandpa said bicycles are super expensive, cost more than a hundred yuan."

"Enough, didn't I say, your dad remitted money, that money is enough to buy a bicycle and a watch." Lin Zhao said to the two sons who were worried about their livelihood at a young age.

"Won't be hungry?" Ercai asked with his eyes.

"... Won't."

He looked down at his new shoes, and asked again: "Will we have new shoes to wear?"

"Yes, not only new shoes, when you go to school, I'll send you each a small green schoolbag with a red star." Lin Zhao remembered the two children's messenger bags she drew before, and made a promise.

"Is it the schoolbag Bang Bang brother carries?" Ercai hadn't tasted the bitterness of going to school, his tone rising.

Lin Zhao knew what Bang Bang's schoolbag looked like, pieced together with rags.

"No." Seeing it wasn't early, she said: "Want to see?"

Ercai nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Gu Da Cai also said: "Want to see."

"Wait." Lin Zhao went back to the room to take the messenger bags.

Not long after, she held two rectangular green small schoolbags with a red star on the surface in her hands.

Ercai ran over, compared them on his body, and laughed like a flower.

"Brother, look at me, does it look good?"

Gu Da Cai nodded cooperatively, "It looks good."

Lin Zhao didn't care about the two super excited cubs, first fed Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po, and took out the Swiss rolls drawn in the new lottery, and took 3 boxes of milk, as breakfast.

"Don't play with the schoolbags, you two woke up so early, eat something with me."

Ercai carried the schoolbag and walked over, standing tall and straight.

"Mom, do I look good?"

Lin Zhao served this showing-off cub, a flash of helplessness in her eyes, "Looks good."

Seeing Gu Da Cai also showing a little expectation, she added: "Gu Da Cai also looks good."

The two children sat down, shaking their feet happily.

"Mom, can you not take back the small schoolbag? I want to carry it today." Ercai expressed his demands generously.

Lin Zhao hoped Gu Da Cai would be the same, and looked at him encouragingly.

Gu Da Cai's hand gripping the schoolbag strap tightened, and he boldly made a request, "Mom, I also want to carry it today, to put candy and the little honey tangerines Mom gave."

"Okay." Lin Zhao's expression was gentle, "Since you both requested it, it's not impossible to give it to you in advance, then carry it!"

"Mom is really good~~"

"Thank you, Mom."

Touched the small schoolbags, their whole bodies overflowing with happiness.

Only then did they put their minds on the table.

"Mom, what is this again?" Ercai, who was fast-mouthed, pointed to the long roll-shaped thing on the table and asked curiously.

Lin Zhao hadn't seen it either, but there were words on the packaging, "Swiss rolls and milk."

"I haven't heard of it." Ercai said generously.

"I'm seeing it for the first time too, let's taste it, the taste should be good, it smells fragrant and sweet." Lin Zhao divided a Swiss roll and a box of milk for each of the two cubs.

She took a bite first, a very soft feeling, melting in the mouth, mellow and sweet.

"It's delicious, eat quickly, you two will definitely like it!"

Fragrant and soft, the two children really liked it, eating with crumbs all over their faces.

Why are there such delicious things ah ah ah ah!

The two children were screaming in their hearts.

Take another sip of milk, ouch, life is really beautiful.

After breakfast.

Lin Zhao had to go to work, Gu Da Cai and Ercai called Da Huang, and took the initiative to send their mother to the entrance of the village.

The villagers saw this scene and showed kind smiles.

"Gu Da Cai, Ercai, you two are going to work with your mom."

"And bringing Da Huang and Xiao Xiao Hu Po, your team... is really lively."

Everyone joked about the Gu family's twins.

Ercai held Xiao Xiao Hu Po in his arms, his waist straight and walked forward a few steps.

Lin Zhao was very familiar with this walking style of not recognizing six relatives, it was intended to show off.

Sure enough.

Ercai turned sideways, held Xiao Xiao Hu Po in one hand, and patted his small schoolbag with the other, smiling at the person who spoke, "Uncle, look at my schoolbag, brother and I both have one, Mom bought it for us."

The villager who was carrying a hoe to work nodded, "Good-looking, really good-looking."

His tone was emotional, "The foundation of a dual-employee family is really sufficient, your mom works in the supply and marketing cooperative, it's convenient to buy things for you."

Seeing that Da Huang and her cubs no longer had the pitiful look of stray dogs, becoming round, the voice was even tinged with envy.

"Even Da Huang and her cubs have benefited."

Da Huang seemed to understand, and barked.

Xiao Xiao Hu Po followed with a bark.

The person who spoke had an even more complex mood.

Ercai showed off high-profile, and in a short while, the matter of Lin Zhao buying schoolbags and sandals for them spread throughout the brigade.

Several mothers-in-law ran specifically to Gu Mu to gossip.

"Chenghuai's mother, heard that your third daughter-in-law spent a lot of money on Gu Da Cai and Ercai, schoolbags and sandals, for us country people, schoolbags can be used by piecing together rag heads, handmade cloth shoes are comfortable, no need to buy, pure waste of money."

"That's right, Chenghuai's mother, you are the mother-in-law, you have to manage, if you don't manage, the allowance Chenghuai worked hard to earn will be squandered sooner or later."

"Little children buy what sandals, naughty monkeys can't be so spoiled!"

Gu Mu rinsed the milk powder for the twins, coaxing the little grandson and little granddaughter to drink milk with full love, planning to come back in two hours to steam a bowl of egg custard for them.

Just at this time, several uninvited guests came to the house.

Before she could ask what was the matter, these people started counting the faults of the third daughter-in-law one after another.

Gu Mu shook the dust that didn't exist on her body with a rag, almost laughed with anger, but didn't show it on her face.

"The third room has been separated, the third daughter-in-law manages the house, Chenghuai's allowance, she can spend it however she wants."

"Besides, Gu Da Cai's mom has a high education, can earn money herself, she is willing to buy things for the two cubs, I have nothing to say."

"Although I haven't seen it yet, the schoolbags and shoes from the supply and marketing cooperative are indeed different from those made at home, I still say that, as long as the third daughter-in-law is happy."

In front of outsiders, Gu Mu always distinguished between inside and outside, and always maintained her own family.

Even if she muttered in her heart.

The people who came specifically to provoke didn't see the excitement, and their faces were not good-looking.

"You have one reason after another, we don't have bad intentions." The leading little old lady even complained to Gu Mu.

They were people who had known each other for decades, Gu Mu gave her a step down.

"Yes, yes, know you don't have bad intentions, my family has separated, the third room's affairs are not easy for me to manage, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, follow her."

With Chenghuai covering, the third room won't be bad in the future.

One of the little old ladies was skillfully making shoe soles, and said: "Chenghuai's daughter-in-law just threw the four cubs to you? Didn't give you any benefits?"

Five yuan, ten yuan?

Gu Mu gasped.

Opened her mouth and came.

Fortunately, your daughter-in-law doesn't have this job, otherwise tired and exhausted, being a cow and a horse for you.

"Taking care of biological grandchildren, what money to mention." Gu Mu said, "Chenghuai is fighting outside, I just want to take care of the rear for him, let him work hard in the army, nothing else, don't ask."

Daughter-in-law becoming a salesperson, what a face-saving thing, how can she hold back!

One of the little old ladies nodded, "You think so is not wrong, I see your third daughter-in-law has changed for the better, she is attentive to Gu Da Cai and the others, it will get better and better."

Gu Mu laughed, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes layered.

Ouch, she likes to hear this.

The happy voices of children came from outside the gate.

Immediately after, Gu Da Cai and Ercai ran into the house.

"Grandma, look what I brought for you!" Ercai's crisp voice reached Gu Mu's ears first when he was still three or five meters away.

"What?" Gu Mu asked with a smile.

The grandson walked close, she saw the sandals under Ercai's feet and the new schoolbag on his body, really beautiful, so spirited, the money was worth it!

Ercai saw that there were other people in the house, paused, greeted everyone, opened the messenger bag, and took things for his grandma.

"Grandma, open your hand." He said.

Gu Mu opened her hand good-naturedly.

Ercai put a White Rabbit Creamy Candy in her palm, put a little honey tangerine, then two Swiss rolls.

"Grandma, all for you." He raised his smiling face.

Gu Mu knew these were all prepared by Lin Zhao for the two brothers, the grandson was willing to give them to her, the old lady was moved to tears.

"Why give it to Grandma, you eat it yourself."

Busy wanting to pack it back for Ercai.

Ercai dodged sideways, "Brother and I discussed it, Grandma has worked hard to take care of us these days, we are filial to you, you accept it."

A little adult look.

Gu Da Cai also said: "That round roll we ate in the morning, those two pieces are left for Grandma, sweet, soft and fragrant, Grandma will definitely like it."

Round roll refers to Swiss roll.

In front of the mothers-in-law, he didn't forget to speak well for Mom, "My mom also knows."

The old ladies who came to the Gu family couldn't pick any more thorns.

That is called round roll, it doesn't look cheap, and it smells sweet from far away.

Gu Mu accepted, smiling, "Okay, Grandma accepts, wait for Grandpa to have one too."

"After eating our Gu Da Cai and Ercai's snacks, let him take the best-sounding name for you."

The little brothers smiled and bent their eyes.

The little old lady next to her asked curiously: "What do you mean? Chenghuai's father takes names for Gu Da Cai and Ercai?"

"More than that." Gu Mu laughed, "It's taking names for four cubs, and Tie Dan and the others' names... also have to be taken by their grandpa."

"Chenghuai's family is willing?"

Gu Mu was very proud, "Why not willing, it was the third daughter-in-law who took the initiative to say it."

This...

That Chenghuai's daughter-in-law is simply like a different person.

The old ladies muttered.

Seeing the smile on Gu Mu's face, they felt sour in their hearts.

Who knew the lazy daughter-in-law would become a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative, Chenghuai's mother now walks with wind.

Not wanting to see her showing off face, the little old lady who loved to compare most changed the subject, "Lu family's wedding, when do you plan to go?"

"Noon." Gu Mu said.

"Not going to help in the morning? Have to pick up the bride."

Gu Mu had long thought of an excuse, "No way, there are so many children at home, I have to watch them."

While talking, she wiped the milk stains around the twins' mouths.

The fourth cub showed a sweet smile, and said in a milky voice: "Look, treasure."

Gu Mu untied the bib on her neck and smiled: "Yes, looking at you."

Time flew, and it was noon.

Gu Mu went to the Lu family to help, and didn't bring the four cubs.

Her feet just stepped into the Lu family's door.

A little girl with two small braids and a red jacket rushed over, looked behind Gu Mu, found Gu Da Cai and Ercai didn't come, and her face collapsed instantly.

"Where are Gu Da Cai brother and Ercai brother?" Lu Baozhen raised her head and asked.

Gu Mu found a reason casually, "They are busy."

"Can I go find Gu Da Cai brother and Ercai brother?" Lu Baozhen tilted her head, her expression expectant.

Gu Mu was puzzled.

Never seen such a child, this needs to be asked?

She was full of doubts, but didn't go deep, and refused on behalf of Gu Da Cai and Ercai.

"Gu Da Cai and Ercai are taking care of their younger brothers and sisters, no time to play with you, another day."

After speaking, she went in to help.

Lu Baozhen stood in place, her eyes instantly became black and deep, and didn't blink for a long time.

She stared at Gu Mu's back, suddenly laughed, the laugh permeated with malice inconsistent with her age.

"Refusing me, you will be unlucky." The voice was sweet and soft.

Next instant.

"Clang!!"

The stool overturned, the water basin and bowls and dishes on the table fell to the ground together, shattered, making a loud noise.

There was water on the ground, and another bang.

Someone shouted: "Gu Auntie...!!" ===== CHAPTER 44 =====

Not wanting to look at her smug face, the little old lady who loved to compare things most changed the subject, "When do you plan to go to the Lu family's wedding?"

"At noon." Gu Mu said.

"Not going to help in the morning? You have to pick up the bride."

Gu Mu had thought of an excuse long ago, "No way, there are so many children at home, I have to watch them."

While speaking, she wiped the milk stains around the twins' mouths.

The fourth cub revealed a sweet smile and said in a milky voice: "Look, treasure."

Gu Mu untied the bib around her neck and smiled: "Right, watching you."

Time flew by, and it was noon.

Gu Mu went to the Lu family to help, without bringing the four cubs.

Her foot had just stepped into the Lu family door.

A little girl with two small braids, wearing a red jacket, rushed over, looked behind Gu Mu, and found that Gu Da Cai and Ercai hadn't come, her face collapsed instantly.

"Where are Brother Gu Da Cai and Brother Ercai?" Lu Baozhen raised her head and asked.

Gu Mu casually found an excuse, "They are busy."

"Can I go find Brother Gu Da Cai and Brother Ercai?" Lu Baozhen tilted her head, her expression expectant.

Gu Mu was puzzled.

Never seen such a child, does this need to be asked?

She was full of doubts, but didn't delve into it, and refused for Gu Da Cai and Ercai.

"Gu Da Cai and Ercai are taking care of their younger brother and sister, no time to play with you, another day."

After speaking, she went in to help.

Lu Baozhen stood in place, her eyes instantly becoming dark and deep, not blinking for a long time.

She stared at Gu Mu's back, suddenly laughing, that laugh revealing malice inconsistent with her age.

"Refusing me, you will be unlucky." The voice was sweet and soft.

The next instant.

"Clang clang!!"

The stool overturned, the water basin and bowls on the table fell to the ground together, shattered, making a loud noise.

The ground was full of water, and there was another bang.

Someone shouted: "Aunt Gu...!!"
