Chapter 70: I am not your father
Lin Zhao smiled lightly, asking back: "Then what should we do?"
Hearing Hearing Erzai's eyes turned, holding his brother and Third Cub's hands, looking up at her, seriously discussing with Mother: "Father is biased towards sister, Mother is biased towards us."
Very fair, right......?!
Lin Zhao felt the child's brain turned really fast, her smile deepened, wiping the fine sweat from the brothers' foreheads, "Your father is equally good to you. It's just because sister is a girl, so the tone of voice is slightly gentler, he also likes you."
She was incomparably certain.
Because all four cubs were born by her, Gu Chenghuai would like them impartially.
"Is it?" Hearing Hearing Erzai was half-believing, asking a bold question, "Mother, will Father carry me on his neck?"
The voice was not big or small, just the volume Gu Chenghuai could hear.
"This has to be asked to your father, see if your father is willing." Lin Zhao kicked the ball back again.
Hearing Hearing Erzai curled his lips, looking at his father, but saw his father pick up his sister, the short Fourth Cub instantly higher than him, which made the child envious!
He took a big step over, pulled Gu Chenghuai's military uniform corner, and asked politely: "Father, can you carry me on your neck?"
Seeing Seeing Dazai thought of Yuanbao's father carrying Yuanbao all over the village, his clean and clear eyes revealing envy, and under his mother's encouraging gaze, he took the initiative and boldly said: "Father, I want to too, Yuanbao and Ye Tie Niu's fathers will carry them."
Who said children have no heart, look, isn't this setting a trap for his father.
"Really great." Lin Zhao's voice was soft, "Today's Seeing Seeing Dazai is a brave Seeing Seeing Dazai, Mother is proud of you."
"It should be like this, speak if you have something to say, raise if you have a need, we are a family, the closest people in the world, you can say anything in front of Father and Mother."
Seeing Seeing Dazai nodded seriously, "Mm!"
Gu Chenghuai looked at Lin Zhao.
After seeing his wife wink at him, his cold eyes flashed with a smile, his gaze swept to the two cubs' expectant little eyes, nodded: "Carry, you say how to carry, how to carry!"
Hearing Hearing Erzai jumped up instantly, his little face red.
Suddenly felt, Father coming back is also quite good!
Quiet Third Cub's eyes curved into crescent moons, his smile delicate.
The young officer with a tall posture and outstanding appearance held the cute little milk ball, also high-value, the big one like a long gun, the small one soft and sweet.
Tenderness of an iron man.
Good-looking enough to be called a world-famous painting.
Lin Zhao saw the cubs' father holding the little girl stiffly, the whole person like cold ice at the bottom of the abyss, melting into water in an instant, every inch of sharpness and edges softening.
Couldn't help but urge.
"Going back or not?"
Although it wasn't hot at this time, they were still in the shade, but standing here was very stupid.
Daughter is important, wife is more important.
Gu Chenghuai's pleasant voice sounded.
Hearing Hearing Erzai curled his lips.
He discovered that of the whole family, Father is the most double-standard.
She is very gentle with her mother and younger sister, and she's alright with her brother, but toward him... she's strange, and earlier she even glared at him and whimpered.
Hmph! Hmph hmph!!
The child snorted coldly in his heart, and recorded another grudge in the grudge notebook.
Lin Zhao saw the cubs' father holding the little girl, the little ball's soft arms wrapped around her mother's neck, but her beautiful eyes were on Gu Chenghuai.
Curiosity flowed in her eyes.
Gu Chenghuai's heart softened into water by the little girl's watery big eyes, his clear voice softened, "Wait until home...... Father lift high."
Another reduplicated word.
"......" Increasingly outrageous, Comrade Gu.
Seeing his wife's subtle gaze, Battalion Commander Gu clenched his slender and good-looking hand into a fist, pressed it against his lips, coughed low, and said calmly: "Back......"
Before the words were finished.
Two figures ran over quickly from afar.
It was Gu Fu and Gu Mu.
Followed by the little cubs of the Gu family.
Gu Fu deliberately suppressed his excited voice, "Gu Laosan."
Immediately after.
Gu Mu ran quickly, a wound that hadn't healed completely split, slightly stinging, but it didn't affect anything. Seeing her son...... the old mother felt comfortable everywhere.
She looked at her son carefully, determined that the third son's limbs were intact, let out a long breath, and fine light rippled in the smile lines of her eyes.
"Gu Laosan, you're back! Why didn't you send a letter in advance? Hungry? Mother will roll noodles for you, dumplings are also fine!"
Gu Chenghuai's Adam's apple moved slightly, his gaze swept over the frost-white temples of his parents one by one, his legs closed, his fingertips facing the red star on his cap, saluting the two elders.
"Father, Mother, I'm back."
Gu Fu, like the previous ten or so times, raised his hand to return the salute reflexively, his calloused knuckles brushing his temples.
His old eyes were full of pride.
——This is the pillar he raised for the country.
Seeing his son had a lot of luggage, Gu Fu stepped forward and took one, "Go, go home."
Gu Chenghuai didn't stop him. He knew his father didn't admit he was old, and he was happier than anything to help do something.
Lin Zhao caught that Gu Mu's posture when walking was slightly strange, remembered her wound hadn't healed completely, her brows frowned slightly, and asked directly: "Mother, your wound split?"
Gu Mu looked at Gu Chenghuai subconsciously, guilt flashed in her eyes, and she winked at the third daughter-in-law fiercely.
She, the mother, was also afraid of the third son's cold eyes.
"Cubs' father!" Lin Zhao didn't ignore the problem, afraid Gu Mu's wound would split more severely, and called out to Gu Chenghuai who was talking to Gu Fu.
The young soldier turned his head, his cap half-covering his sharp brows, making him look even colder like a cold moon, clear wind and bright moon, heroic.
"What's wrong?" He softened his eyes, extremely patient.
"You take Mother back first." Lin Zhao said.
The couple's tacit understanding made Gu Chenghuai realize something.
He pushed the car to Gu Mu, didn't speak, just looked at her lightly.
Gu Mu didn't dare to make a sound, and sat on the back seat obediently.
Oh my, Gu Laosan's momentum is getting more and more scary!!
After entering the village, they met many people in the village.
Seeing the most promising young man in the brigade, they all greeted him enthusiastically.
"Chenghuai is back!"
"How long are you staying this time? Rare to come back once, stay a few more days."
"Gu Auntie is sitting on a bicycle, and it's the son she likes most taking her, she must be happy, look at her mouth almost grinning to the back of her head."
"Father is back, the four cubs of the Gu family should be even more arrogant, hahahaha."
Gu Chenghuai controlled the speed of the car not fast or slow, and greeted the villagers with a humble attitude.
The noisy scene, as if someone was returning home in glory, the whole village came to join in the fun.
Seeing Seeing Dazai and Hearing Hearing Erzai smiled brightly, their identical eyes curved into the same crescent shape.
Seeing his little friends, Hearing Hearing Erzai waved vigorously, showing off to Yuanbao: "Yuanbao, this is my father!"
Glanced again, saw Ye Tie Niu, "Ye Tie Niu, my father is back."
His eyes swept, caught sight of Chang Sheng who hadn't said a word for more than half a month, his expression divine and smug, "Chang Sheng brother, my father is tall! My father can beat you to cry with one finger!"
Found Chang Sheng shrinking his neck, laughing hahahaha.
Gu Chenghuai: "......"
"?"
Reputation damaged.
Hearing Hearing Erzai used his own father as a tool for showing off, endlessly.
He put his hands on his hips, shouted threats: "You weigh your words, if you dare to spread bad words about my mother being a lazy woman again, I will take my father to your house, my father will beat your father, I will beat......"
The word "you" hadn't come out yet, seeing Chang Sheng was half a head taller than himself, he said cleverly: "I will beat you with Bang Bang and the others."
He waved his fists, issuing threats.
Chang Sheng's father was also watching the fun, hearing Hearing Hearing Erzai's words, wanting to cry without tears.
No, what did he do wrong?!
Chang Sheng was even more aggrieved, "I haven't said it for a long time, why do you still remember."
He said it before, because the mother of the twins was originally a lazy woman.
Since Third Aunt went to work in the county, he hadn't said it for a long time.
"I hold grudges!" Hearing Hearing Erzai tilted his head, reasonably and confidently.
Because of his mother, Chang Sheng was excluded by the children of the brigade, all saying his mother was a thief, and the child king had long lost his previous influence.
He had long wanted to break the ice with the Gu family's children.
So he took the initiative: "What do you have to do to not hold grudges? Hearing Hearing Erzai, I've changed, if you don't believe me, ask my father!"
Chang Sheng pulled his father's clothes, "Father, tell Hearing Hearing Erzai quickly, say I haven't said bad things about their mother for a long time!!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Chang Sheng's father pulled back his clothes, carefully straightened them, responded repeatedly, looked at the twins, and smiled honestly, "Seeing Seeing Dazai, Hearing Hearing Erzai, Uncle taught Chang Sheng a lesson, he doesn't dare to nag anymore."
Seeing Seeing Dazai was small but had a big heart, looked at Chang Sheng, and said seriously: "If Chang Sheng brother doesn't say bad things about my mother in the future, we can be friends with you."
Hearing Hearing Erzai listened to his brother's words, brother said be friends, then be friends.
Agreed in his heart, but still threatened with his mouth, "If you dare to say it again, I will beat you again."
Chang Sheng shook his head quickly, "Won't say it, never say it again, whoever says your mother again, I will help you beat him!"
Hearing Hearing Erzai's eyes rolled, felt there was profit, walked with a six-relatives-not-recognizing pace, walked to Chang Sheng, looked up at the teenager who was half a head taller than himself, stretched out his right arm, raised his little finger, indicating him to hook.
"Hook, whoever goes back on their word is a puppy."
Chang Sheng put his hand up happily.
Hearing Hearing Erzai withdrew his finger, met Lin Zhao's gaze, raised his lips and smiled, his smile bright like a small sun.
He walked to his mother, triumphantly, "Mother, am I smart?"
"Mm?" Lin Zhao didn't understand.
Hearing Hearing Erzai's smile faded, sighed lightly.
Just about to say something with his mouth, he was preempted by Seeing Seeing Dazai, "Hearing Hearing Erzai means he collected a big little brother, asking Mother if he is powerful."
"Big little brother?" Lin Zhao's tone was suspicious, really didn't understand the current children, "What does it mean?"
"Oh, it means big friend little brother." Hearing Hearing Erzai puffed out his chest.
Just after this sentence, Lin Zhao accidentally caught a glimpse of Gu Chenghuai's cold gaze falling on his son.
emmm.
Hearing Hearing Erzai might...... be punished to stand in military posture!
"Are you collecting little brothers and being a little boss outside?" Lin Zhao winked at him secretly, signaling her son to pay attention to his words.
The little guy didn't see it, and corrected: "Boss is boss, not little boss."
"Mother, I'm not a two-year-old child, I'm a five-and-a-half-year-old big friend!"
Not walking the smooth road, preferring to walk the single-plank bridge, right?
Bless you.
Lin Zhao touched her son's head with a complicated mood, "As long as you are happy."
She didn't care anymore.
Let Battalion Commander Gu manage it.
"I am happy." Hearing Hearing Erzai kicked the stone under his feet, his little back full of joy, like a little bird just out of an iron cage.
Chatting and laughing with the people in the village, Gu Chenghuai came to the entrance of the old house surrounded by the Gu family.
Gu Mu was helped into the house by Huang Xiulan and Zhao Liuniang, Gu Yuanshan and Gu Yucheng helped push the car and take the luggage.
A group of juniors looked at the majestic Gu Chenghuai, one 'Third Uncle' after another.
It was lively.
Don't know where a four-year-old little girl ran out, hugged Gu Chenghuai's leg fiercely, and called Father crisply.
"Father!"
It was Lu Baozhen.
"Father, I want a hug!"
The child who rushed out was dirty all over, the tufts on her head were crooked, she didn't even wear shoes, and there were a few red marks on her black feet.
Suddenly a strange little girl called him Father, and it was in front of his wife, Gu Chenghuai's scalp went numb, pulled her away, stepped back a few steps, subconsciously looked at his wife, and explained hurriedly: "Zhaozhao, I don't know her."
Lin Zhao was very satisfied with his attitude, saying: "This is Lu family's child."
Lu Yizhou's?
Gu Chenghuai understood.
The little girl saw the military uniform on him, and mistook him for her father, running over happily.
Actually not her father, but the twins' father.
What is the feeling from great joy to great sorrow, she, not even five years old, knew.
Lu Baozhen looked up, burst into tears.
Shouted Father loudly.
"Father!"
"Baozhen wants Father woo woo woo!!"
Seeing Fourth Cub's red head rope, she cried even louder.
"Mine, the red head rope is mine, the new skirt is also mine, all mine——" she shouted sharply, lying on the ground, kicking her legs desperately, exactly the same as her grandmother.
Lin Zhao frowned.
Lightly held Gu Chenghuai's arm, called the twins, "Seeing Seeing Dazai, Hearing Hearing Erzai, take younger brother and sister home."
After speaking.
Entered the threshold first.
Just about to cross the threshold, heard the neighbor mutter: "What's wrong with Baozhen?"
Seeing Seeing Dazai stopped, said: "She misses her father."
"Oh oh." The neighbor understood, shouted at Su Yuxian hiding in the corner: "Yizhou's, what's wrong with you, don't look at the child crying like this, at least coax her."
Slandering in heart: No stepmother is good, before entering the door, she licked her face to work, after entering the door, she changed like a person, didn't even care about the child, and fought with her mother-in-law all day.
Whose daughter-in-law is like this, Lu Yizhou is also unlucky.
The woman shook her head, turned back into the room, didn't care about Su Yuxian who was counting the children.
"Get up quickly! Shameful, call everyone Father, you are so lacking in Father, still lying on the ground, look at your clothes, so dirty, get up——"
That day, Lu Mu took Lu Baozhen back from the county, wasted a day, and didn't get a matchstick.
Lu Mu thought it was bad luck, went again the next day, who knew there was still no harvest.
No harvest is fine, still fell, broke her pelvic bone, spent several yuan to see a doctor, couldn't work, as if possessed by a mold god.
Lu Little Sister is lazy, the work at home fell on Su Yuxian.
Su Yuxian tried every means to marry into the Lu family, wanting to live a good life like Lin Zhao, not to suffer, so she was lazy whenever she could, doing everything vaguely.
Therefore, Lu Baozhen, the cleanest and most comfortable little girl in the whole brigade, became what she is now.
The door closed.
Gu Chenghuai looked at Lin Zhao beside him, asked knowingly: "You dislike the Lu family's little girl?"
"Yes!" Lin Zhao didn't deny.
"I don't like her, you have to be like today in the future when you see her on the road, stay far away from her." She said domineeringly.
Gu Chenghuai didn't ask
That day, Lu Mu brought Lu Baozhen back from the county seat; they wasted an entire day and didn't even manage to get a single match.
Lu Mu thought their luck was bad, so she went again the next day, but who knew there would still be no harvest.
Not having a harvest was one thing, but she also took a fall, fracturing her pelvis; it cost several yuan to see a doctor, and she couldn't do any work, as if she were possessed by the god of bad luck.
Lu Xiaomei was lazy, so the housework all fell on Su Yuxian.
Su Yuxian had tried every possible way to marry into the Lu family because she wanted to live the good life Lin Zhao had, not to suffer; she would slack off whenever she could and did everything in a sloppy manner.
Therefore, Lu Baozhen, the cleanest and most comfortable little girl in the entire brigade, turned into this state now.
The gate closed.
Gu Chenghuai looked at Lin Zhao beside him and asked a question he already knew the answer to: "Do you dislike the little girl from the Lu family?"
"Yes!" Lin Zhao did not deny it.
"I don't like her. In the future, when you see her on the road, you must stay far away from her, just like today," she said domineeringly.
Gu Chenghuai didn't ask for the reason and immediately agreed, "I'll listen to you."
