Chapter 6

The child's hand was hot, warm, and soft and small. Lin Zhao held it in her palm, only feeling her heart collapse, and her eyes couldn't help but bloom with smiles.

The eldest looked at his younger brother with envy. He also wanted to be held by Mother.

Lin Zhao saw the eldest's thoughts and offered her other hand to him: "Mother will hold you too."

The eldest's dimmed eyes instantly lit up. Without saying a word, he went to hold his mother's hand. After holding it, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the arc never fell.

The Gu family mother and sons left, and the big and small children left behind were chattering.

"My mother lied, the twins' mother likes them." Child Yuan Bao was very angry.

Not knowing what he thought of, he was angry and aggrieved again: "The twins fight and their mother doesn't even punish them, and she even holds them home. If I fight, my mother will beat my bottom hard. I ask my mother to hold me, but my mother doesn't hold me at all. I must have been picked up."

The little guy's expression drooped, like a homeless puppy.

In the fields, Yuan Bao's mother sneezed. She didn't know that because she refused to hold her son's dirty hand that was used to mix mud with boy urine, it made him imagine a good show of being picked up. If she knew, she would definitely feel she hit him too little.

"The twins' mother is a lazy woman, but she buys meat buns for the twins." Ye Tie Niu was full of envy, "I want to eat meat buns too."

Chang Sheng snorted coldly and said in a positive tone: "What's so great about it, their mother won't pay attention to them tomorrow!"

"How do you know?" Yuan Bao drew on the mud with a wooden stick, still feeling depressed, obviously still immersed in that sad emotion that couldn't be vented.

"I just know!" Chang Sheng was stumped by the question and left unhappily.

Once the child king left, the other children patted the dust off their bodies and left under the old banyan tree.

From far away, one could still hear a few milky voices.

"It's all Chang Sheng's fault. I originally wanted to ask the twins to let me smell the meat buns, but now there's no chance." Yuan Bao said dully.

Another girl sighed: "I wanted to smell them too."

People passing by didn't understand, and seeing the little cubs full of sorrow, they couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Zhao brought her two sons to the Gu family. As soon as she entered the door, her legs were hugged by two soft little guys.

It was the twins.

The third and fourth cubs were calling Mother. The two didn't call it standardly, calling Mother "Cool."

The eldest supported his younger brother and patiently taught the fourth cub: "It's Mother, not Cool."

"Cool~~" the fourth cub called again, still Cool. She raised her little face, smiled sweetly, and revealed her millet teeth.

Ercai mocked his younger sister: "The fourth cub is a little fool, even calling Mother wrong, little fool." He lightly scraped his younger sister's little face.

The fourth cub saw the bun in Ercai's hand and reached out to grab it.

Ercai hurriedly dodged. The fourth cub was anxious, let go of Lin Zhao's leg, stepped on her short legs to chase him, and kept shouting for it.

"Want~ want~~" Milky.

Ercai wasn't stingy, just afraid his younger sister couldn't eat it, and asked Lin Zhao in a panic: "Mother, can the fourth cub eat buns?"

At this time, Gu Mu heard the sound and came out of the room.

Ercai said loudly: "Grandma, my mother bought us buns, meat buns, especially delicious meat buns!" Those who didn't know would think he was showing off.

The fourth cub was still swaying and trying to reach the bun in Ercai's hand. She was short and chubby, and couldn't reach it even on tiptoe, but she wasn't anxious, her emotions were very stable as she climbed on her brother's arm and tried hard, her little face red from exhaustion, like a red apple.

The fourth cub's entire body weight was on Ercai. Ercai was very tired, and shouted again: "Grandma, can the fourth cub eat meat buns?"

Gu Mu answered: "Give her the size of a fingernail, just let her taste the flavor."

Ercai tore a little skin for his younger sister. The fourth cub stuffed the bun skin into her mouth, sucked the flavor with her four upper and lower little milk teeth, her eyes curved, and saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth.

"Drooling again, little dirty baby." Ercai educated his younger sister while imitating the adult's manner, and took out a small handkerchief to wipe the saliva on the fourth cub's face.

The fourth cub was very obedient, cooperating with her second brother's movements. When Ercai wiped her face, she raised her little face, her emotions stable beyond belief.

The third cub was even quieter than his younger sister. He stayed by the eldest's side, not noisy or making trouble. His big brother gave him bun skin, he took it, and then stuffed it into his mouth to gnaw.

Lin Zhao saw this scene, her mood complex. Should she say she was worthy of being the cannon fodder female supporting character who was outstanding in every aspect? She was only a little over a year old and was so special, but unfortunately, she grew a love brain.

With her in this life, let's see how the love brains of these few cubs grow?

Her gaze swept over the children one by one.

The eldest and Ercai felt cold all over, looked around, found nothing, and the little brothers felt relieved.

Lin Zhao withdrew her gaze, looked at Gu Mu, and handed over the things she brought: "I have something I want to ask Father to help with, this is a thank-you gift."

Gu Mu took the paper package stuffed into her hand by the third daughter-in-law in a daze, not reacting.

What's the situation?

The third daughter-in-law actually came to the door with things? The big girl gets on the sedan chair, the first time.

Gu Mu didn't feel happy, but panicked instead, her brain a mess.

What does the eldest's mother want to do!?

"Looking for your father, what's the matter?"

Before Lin Zhao could speak, the talkative Ercai said loudly: "My mother wants to build a house!"

"Build a house?" Gu Mu's voice rose slightly, with thick incomprehension, "Why did you suddenly think of building a house."

Now Ercai didn't know, and followed his grandmother's gaze to Lin Zhao.

"That earth house drops dust everywhere, no matter how you sweep it, it won't be clean." Lin Zhao's expression was disgusted.

Gu Mu choked, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she hadn't seen you sweep it either.

Besides, at that time, she suggested building a brick and tile house, but the third daughter-in-law refused flatly, muttering in her mouth about where the money came from, and she was standing and talking without back pain.

Only a few years passed and she regretted it, and she still had a look of disgust...

Gu Mu was used to the third daughter-in-law thinking of one thing and another, fearing that Lin Zhao would make a scene, she didn't dare say much, and said: "Your father is lying in the room, I'll go call him."

After saying that, she pinched the small paper package and returned to the room.

Gu Fu was lying on the bed. He vaguely heard the sound in the courtyard, just busy all morning and wanted to lie down, so he didn't go out.

Seeing Gu Mu enter, he opened his eyes, "Did the eldest and Ercai come?"

"They came, and not just the two cubs, the third daughter-in-law also came." Gu Mu opened the paper package and glanced at it, seeing the meat buns and brown sugar inside, she was stunned, and blurted out: "Meat buns and brown sugar!"

Gu Fu got up, saw the meat buns, and swallowed involuntarily. White flour meat buns, he bought two when he sent the third son to join the army, and the third son insisted on stuffing one to him. That taste was really fragrant.

He missed the third son a bit.

"Where did the meat buns come from?"

Gu Mu said: "The third daughter-in-law brought them, saying she wanted to ask you to help. She wants to build a brick and tile house, complaining that the current house drops dust."

Building a house was a good thing after all, she had no opinion.

Gu Fu was very happy to hear about building a brick and tile house, but there was a problem: "Build now? Everyone is busy with the double harvest, it's hard to find people."

"And also, where do the bricks and tiles come from?"

Bricks and tiles were not easy to get, and it was troublesome to get them.

"The third daughter-in-law is outside, you ask her." Gu Mu couldn't answer the questions Gu Fu asked, so she sent him to ask Lin Zhao.

Gu Fu had a headache as soon as he thought about dealing with the third daughter-in-law, so worried.

The third son wasn't at home, he couldn't not care, so he stepped on his straw sandals and walked out.

Coming to the courtyard, Gu Fu changed his usual dullness and discussed with Lin Zhao: "Third daughter-in-law, I heard from your mother that you want to build a brick and tile house? It's double harvest, it's hard to find people, why not wait until this period passes? Also, bricks and tiles, what is your plan?"

"It's okay to wait for a while, I just told you in advance. You don't need to worry about bricks and tiles, I wrote a letter to Gu Chenghuai, he will think of a way." Lin Zhao had great confidence in her man. No matter what she wanted to do, Gu Chenghuai always had a way to satisfy her.

Gu Fu was silent.

Looking for the third son, okay.

He also had confidence in the third son.

"Fine, I've noted it down, we'll build it after the double harvest ends."

Lin Zhao thanked him: "Thank you, Father."

Gu Fu didn't speak, thinking in his heart, it would be thanks enough if you didn't make a scene a few times in the future.

Just at this time, Gu Xing'er and others returned home.

"Why are you here?" Gu Xing'er glared at Lin Zhao as soon as she saw her, full of disgust.

The eldest and Second Child felt their little aunt was as fierce as if she wanted to eat people, and hurriedly blocked in front of their mother, looking at Gu Xing'er with defensive expressions.

Lin Zhao pressed her arms on the eldest and Second Child's shoulders, brought her sons to her side, and smiled at Gu Xing'er, "This is my home too, I come whenever I want."

She glanced at the firewood Gu Xing'er picked up lightly and reminded her: "By the way, the firewood from yesterday, little sister-in-law forgot to send it, don't forget to make up for it today."

"Bang!"

Gu Xing'er was so angry she dropped the firewood, glared at Lin Zhao, "Lin Zhao, don't go too far."

Lin Zhao didn't pay attention to her, but looked at Gu Mu who had just come out of the room, and said softly: "Mother should still manage the little sister-in-law, so that others don't think that all the daughters of our Gu family are so rude and chattering. The Gu family has more than one girl."

These words reached the ears of Gu's eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law who had just returned home, and their expressions changed slightly.

They both had daughters. If the Gu family's reputation was ruined by the little sister-in-law, their babies wouldn't end up well either.

"Lin Zhao!" Gu Xing'er gritted her teeth and was about to scold people, but was scolded by Gu Mu, "Xing'er, that's your third sister-in-law, who taught you to call your elder's name directly!"

"Go out and pick firewood!" She said without allowing refusal, her eyes full of warnings.

Gu Xing'er hadn't filled her stomach with anything since yesterday afternoon, and she was so empty that drinking water was useless. She originally thought there would be food after picking up a bundle, but who knew she would run into Lin Zhao, this nemesis, when she got home, and she was so angry that tears flew out.

"I'm going to tell my third brother..." Her voice was tearful.

"Whatever you want." Lin Zhao's tone was light.

She had already written a letter to tell the cubs' father first. Gu Chenghuai was a reasonable man and knew who to believe.

Gu Mu didn't want to watch them quarrel, and said to Gu Xing'er: "Xing'er, go pick another bundle of firewood and send it to your third sister-in-law, otherwise you won't have food to eat today."

Gu Xing'er was aggrieved to death, feeling that her life was bitter, glared at Lin Zhao angrily, and rushed out of the house.

The little sister-in-law was full of malice toward her. Lin Zhao didn't feel at ease leaving the twins in the old house, and said to the eldest and Second Child: "Eldest, Second Child, take your younger brother and sister home."

Gu Mu stepped forward two steps and said worriedly: "Third daughter-in-law, what's wrong again?"

"Isn't it double harvest? Mother has many things to do, I'll take care of the children myself." Lin Zhao didn't say she was worried that Gu Xing'er would be stupid and hurt her own cubs.

Gu Mu: "..." She hadn't had many things to do for a day or two, the third daughter-in-law just knew.

"Then fine, if anything happens, let the eldest and Second Child come find me." Gu Mother couldn't say much, so she could only remind her like this.

The eldest smiled brightly, "Second Child and I will help Mother take care of the younger brother and sister."

Second Child nodded along.

Lin Zhao took the children and left the old house. Just as she went out, she glanced at the task bar on the right side of the lucky draw wheel flashing, exploding with beautiful fireworks.

It was written on it:

【The children's wish to eat buns has been satisfied, you have successfully completed the task, reward 2 points, save 8 more points, and you can draw a prize, charge, charge, charge!】

Lin Zhao knew there was a task bar, but she was lazy. As soon as she thought about what task to do, she felt it was troublesome, and didn't even look at it. Who knew, the task was completed so easily!

If it was this simple, this task wasn't impossible to do.

"Mother?" The eldest saw Lin Zhao stunned, and called out with a confused expression.

Lin Zhao rubbed the top of his hair, "Let's go, go home."

"What do you want to eat in the afternoon?"

Second Child was a child who was good at expressing himself. Hearing his mother's words, he rushed over and said loudly: "Mother, I want to eat meat!"

As soon as he said meat, the twins followed: "Meat, meat~~"

Lin Zhao felt something hanging under her white shirt, looked down, and met two little faces with very sweet smiles.

It was the third and fourth cubs shouting "meat, meat."

"What are you two shouting, how much can you two eat." Lin Zhao said amusedly.

The twins couldn't understand her words, laughing happily, revealing their little tender teeth.

Second Child saw his mother was very easy to talk to, and pulled his younger brother and sister into his camp, "Mother, the third and fourth cubs also want to eat meat."

Lin Zhao pinched his face, "It's Second Child who wants to eat the most."

Second Child chuckled and pulled the eldest: "My brother also wants to eat meat, right Brother?"

The eldest nodded heavily: "Un."

"Do you want to eat dumplings?" Lin Zhao asked.

Second Child answered the loudest, "Yes!"

The eldest had eaten dumplings during the New Year, which were made by his grandmother, radish filling, very curious, and also said: "Want to eat."

The twins couldn't understand what they were saying, and followed happily.

Lin Zhao took the children home. On the way, she met people from the brigade. Seeing them, they were stunned. After people passed by, it was hard not to whisper.

"Is Chenghuai's family okay? She is actually taking care of the children?" The aunt in the village was full of surprise.

Another aunt's gaze fell on Lin Zhao, not taking it back for a long time, her mouth sour: "Who knows, she is married and still wears so flashy, better looking than a big girl, don't know who she's showing it to."

The first aunt who spoke felt that what she said was a bit ugly, opening her mouth to ruin someone's reputation, "This can't be said randomly! Chenghuai's family is lazy, but she is a decent person."

Seeing that the other party still had a look of disapproval, she continued: "Chenghuai's family is a military wife, slandering military family members is going to jail, watch your mouth."

The gossiping aunt felt tight in her heart, cautiously looked around, and only felt relieved when she saw no one, "I'm just saying it randomly, don't spread it."

The aunt who persuaded her said lightly: "I'm not that talkative, but you should pay attention in the future. None of the Gu family are easy to mess with. If Chenghuai's mother knows you are spreading rumors about her daughter-in-law, she will carry a hoe to your house."

The gossiping aunt slapped her own mouth and hurriedly said: "Won't say it, won't say it anymore."

Lin Zhao didn't know about the things here.

When they were almost home, they ran into the children running around the village again.

Tie Niu called the eldest and Second Child: "Eldest, Second Child, come and play."

Second Child wanted to play, but he wanted to eat dumplings more.

He said: "Not playing today, my mother is going to wrap dumplings for us, and my brother and I have to help."

As soon as his words fell, the fourth cub's milky voice sounded: "Help... help..." bouncing out one word at a time.
