Chapter 85: I'm going to hug you

"I always feel like I've forgotten something." Lin Zhao raised her arm, supporting her chin with her hand, thinking carefully.

It seemed she had forgotten it last night.

While thinking, her gaze wandered around the room.

Her peripheral vision caught the satchel hanging on the wall, and her eyes brightened suddenly.

"I remembered, it's the photos."

She stood up, walked slowly over, opened the satchel, and took out the small paper bag containing the photos.

"Come and see, I took them while the four cubs were asleep, they haven't seen them, you are the first to see, honored?" Lin Zhao sat back with the photos, looking up at Gu Chenghuai. The man was very tall, and looking up like this, the back of her neck felt slightly sore.

Gu Chenghuai dragged a stool over and sat down, still a big block even when sitting.

His long, good-looking hands took the small photo, lowered his head to look, and the cold man's eyes were filled with smiles.

"Zhao Zhao, you took them really well."

"The characteristics of each cub were captured by you, the First Cub is board-straight, the Hearing Hearing Erzai is lively, the Quiet Quiet San Zai is well-behaved, the Fourth Cub is cute, you are very amazing."

He first affirmed his wife's photography level, and in a negotiating tone, said warmly: "When I return to the army, I want to take two, is that okay?"

"You can." Lin Zhao glared at the man, her eyes full of tenderness, "They were originally taken to be mailed to you."

She said it as if it were true, completely ignoring her mood of wanting to take pictures of everything when she first drew the camera.

However, this sentence was already a fatal blow to Gu Chenghuai.

His heart felt as if it were stuffed very full by something, and his facial lines followed suit, softening.

Several footsteps sounded.

The Quiet Quiet San Zai pulled open the bamboo curtain, and the First and Second Cubs carefully controlled their figures, entering the room slowly.

"Dad, Mom, help, the Fourth Cub is so heavy, we can't lift her anymore, she's about to fall." The Hearing Hearing Erzai tried hard to suppress his loud voice, almost shouting for his dad and mom with his breath, his childish voice full of tension and urgency, as if something terrible would happen if no one came.

Gu Chenghuai took a long stride, walked to the twins in a few steps, and saw a scene that made him unable to help but laugh.

The round and cute little milky dumpling was curled up in the bamboo basket, her little belly rising and falling together, sleeping sweetly.

"Asleep?" Gu Chenghuai was made cute by his daughter, smiles blooming in his eyes.

"The Hearing Hearing Erzai and I were about to return to the room, looking for the Fourth Cub everywhere, and saw her sleeping in the bamboo basket, so we carried her back." The First Cub said.

Gu Chenghuai bent down, gently picked up the Fourth Cub, the child's sleep was disturbed, her delicate brows gathered into a small hill, the man patted her back gently, and shook her slightly with a small range of motion.

In an instant, the child was fast asleep.

He put the Fourth Cub back on the bed, lowered his voice and said to his sons: "Have you washed? If not, go wash quickly, and go sleep in your grandparents' room later."

Straight to the point.

He didn't even leave any preparation time for the twins.

Lin Zhao looked at Gu Chenghuai in astonishment, her mouth twitching.

"..." Was it too urgent? Couldn't he be more subtle and discuss it?!

The First and Second Cubs stood frozen in place.

It took a while for them to come back to their senses.

The two little friends exploded, gripping their little fists, their similar little faces appearing with double the anger, glaring at their own dad angrily.

"No! We don't want to sleep in Grandma and Grandpa's room, we want to sleep with Mom!" Even if he was angry, the Hearing Hearing Erzai didn't tear open his loud voice, pressing down his loud voice, expressing his emotions unhappily.

The First Cub's expression was defensive, as if Gu Chenghuai were a bad guy breaking up the little friends and their mother.

"Why?" He suppressed his sadness, calmly and seriously saying: "Dad, you tell us why, if you don't explain it to us, the Hearing Hearing Erzai and I will record your grudge in our little book!"

The Quiet Quiet San Zai nodded, his voice carrying the softness unique to little boys, "I'll record it too."

Gu Chenghuai touched the Third Son's soft hair, his voice low and slow, "Be good, go look at your dictionary."

The Quiet Quiet San Zai puffed out his cheeks, and after a while, looked at his brothers, turned and left, his back short and round, a small one, his lotus-root-like arms and legs, cute enough to make people's hearts tremble wildly.

Gu Chenghuai laughed dumbly.

He didn't care about the twins' vigilant and hostile eyes, his expression calm, saying slowly: "First Cub, if you listen to Dad, next month I'll give you a small airplane, the kind you can hold in your hand and play with."

Airplane...?

The First Cub was very curious, somewhat tempted.

Without waiting for him to speak, the cunning father increased the chips, "Only while I'm at home, when I return to the army, you can move back."

The First Cub began to waver.

Solving the eldest with heart-attacking, Gu Chenghuai turned to look at the Hearing Hearing Erzai, his voice low, "Hearing Hearing Erzai, don't you want to learn to swim? Agree to my request, and I'll teach you tomorrow."

The Hearing Hearing Erzai did want to learn to swim, he had wanted to for a long time, and his dad's words had finally grasped him.

The child didn't want to compromise so easily.

He said: "Our bed is big, it can sleep, why do we have to go to Grandma and Grandpa's room to sleep, I don't want to go."

He didn't want to move, but he wanted to learn to swim, so the Hearing Hearing Erzai pulled on Gu Chenghuai's hem, acting like a spoiled child: "Dad, the best, best dad..."

Gu Chenghuai shook his head at him, a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were undeniably firm.

"Acting like a spoiled child is useless. If you don't agree to my request, I can't agree to your request either, you can't have all the benefits, that's too domineering."

Who exactly is domineering?!!

Lin Zhao felt it was unwatchable, took a towel, body wash, and face soap, went out to take a bath, and left the father and sons to compete.

The twins stretched their arms forward straight, fingers spread, palms outward, their bodies leaning forward, wanting to call their mother, but didn't make it in time.

"How about it? Is it a deal?" Gu Chenghuai sat down, his left leg lazily draped over his right knee, not in a hurry.

The First Cub asked: "Dad, I need to discuss it with the Hearing Hearing Erzai, is that okay?"

Gu Chenghuai nodded lightly, "Okay."

The two little friends hid in the corner and whispered.

After a while.

Standing in front of Gu Chenghuai.

The First Cub spoke on behalf of them, "Dad is going to stay at home for more than a month, more than thirty days, the time is too long, if we want to sleep with Mom one day, can we move back and sleep for one night, then go sleep with Grandma and Grandpa?"

Considering that Zhao Zhao would definitely miss the two cubs, Gu Chenghuai nodded: "Okay."

"Then okay, we agree." The First Cub was full of reluctance.

He added another sentence, "And that is, if Mom misses us, we will come back."

"Okay." Gu Chenghuai was in a very good mood, agreeing to whatever his son said.

After all, he was a soldier who was decisive in killing, and after talking to his two sons, he watched them wash up, then picked up the sleeping Fourth Cub and took his sons to his parents' room.

Gu Mu wanted to say last night that she would let the four cubs sleep with them, but fearing that the Third Daughter-in-law would be uncomfortable, she didn't rush to mention it. She forgot to say it tonight, and was still muttering to the old man after returning to the room, not expecting that before they even lay down, the Third had sent his grandsons and granddaughters over.

The old couple slept on the kang, the place was very big, covered with a mattress, the top of the mattress was also a cool mat, and newspapers were pasted on the wall to prevent soil from falling.

"The Third is here." Gu Mu didn't ask much, directly saying: "Put the Fourth Cub inside, the cool mat was just wiped."

She also shouted to the twins: "First Cub, Hearing Hearing Erzai, you two take the Quiet Quiet San Zai up too."

The twins were raised by their grandmother, and when their mother didn't care about them, they would occasionally sleep in the old house.

The little brothers said "ai" and climbed onto the kang with familiarity.

The Hearing Hearing Erzai rolled twice, lying on his back, his feet held high, the soles of his feet slapping against the newspaper wall, his toes curling a few times, as if painting with his fingers.

"Hearing Hearing Erzai, lie down properly." Gu Chenghuai frowned, asking in a flat tone.

Gu Mu waved her hand, "It's okay, let him be happy, you go back to your room and sleep."

"Mom, don't spoil them too much."

Gu Mu didn't like hearing this, in her view, her grandsons were obedient no matter how spoiled they were, "How is it spoiling, children, it's normal to be naughty, just teach them well!"

Gu Chenghuai looked at his sensible father. But he saw Gu Fu sitting against the wall, one leg half-bent, one leg stretched out casually, holding his little grandson, the two heads leaning together, focusing on reading that broken dictionary.

"This is 'zhi', Quiet Quiet San Zai, what do you think of this character?" Gu Fu said, facing the youngest grandson, even his voice was pinched.

Provoking the twins to turn their heads to look at their grandfather.

"Grandpa, is your throat uncomfortable?" The Hearing Hearing Erzai opened his bewildered big eyes.

Gu Fu: "..."

He choked awkwardly, cleared his throat, "You do your own thing."

"... Oh." The Hearing Hearing Erzai responded, and said again: "Grandpa, if you want to drink water, just say it, your grandson is here, I can't let you have no water to drink."

Gu Fu was very moved and refused, "You go play."

"Okay." The Hearing Hearing Erzai said, turned over, faced the First Cub, and the two little friends whispered to each other.

"Hearing Hearing Erzai, come and see, this is where you poked a hole with your foot, it's still here." The First Cub pointed to the newspaper with a broken corner on the wall, cupped his little hands into a trumpet, stuck it to his brother's ear, and spoke in a breathy voice, very lightly.

The Hearing Hearing Erzai laughed secretly, "It's still here, Brother, don't touch it, be careful it gets bigger and bigger."

"I know."

The little brothers whispered.

Gu Mu only needed a glance to know what the two grandsons were whispering about.

She didn't look much, fanning her granddaughter with a fan, the fragrant and sweet little milky baby slept even more soundly.

The Quiet Quiet San Zai stared at the character his grandfather was pointing at, his little appearance very serious, "Zhi."

"Right, the 'zhi' of knowledge, the 'zhi' of knowing." Gu Fu said.

From the Third couple, he saw the power of knowledge, knowledge can change the fate of a family.

He planned to use this character for the four cubs' names.

Gu Chenghuai saw that the four cubs were adapting well and was about to leave, when he heard his father say this sentence, a flash of something crossed his deep eyes, he said goodbye to the old couple, and walked out of the room.

Lin Zhao would summon the lottery wheel every night at this time, and today was no exception.

Many reminders of completed tasks.

【Celebrate the best Eldest Sister-in-law separating and moving, generously give gifts, reward 50 points.】

【Share the first photos taken with your lover, and get an appreciative gaze, reward 200 points.】

Lin Zhao looked at the top right corner.

Total points: 1535.

She clicked the lottery without thinking, the 1000-point one.

Drew a piece of yellowed old paper.

Lin Zhao wiped her hands, clicked to receive, saw the conspicuous words on the paper, almost stood up, luckily remembered she was still taking a bath, and hurriedly shrank back in.

"Land and Housing Ownership Certificate"

On the right vertical column, the address was very clear, in the county, an excellent location.

And.

If she remembered correctly, it wasn't a tube building, it was an independent small courtyard.

Suddenly having a house in the city, Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gu Chenghuai had just finished washing, full of water vapor, wiping his short hair half a finger long with one hand, not messing with it much, and after a warm wind blew, the hair was mostly dry.

Just about to enter the room, he suddenly heard a light laugh from the bathroom, the man was slightly startled, his cold brows and eyes blooming with smiles.

Gentle and intoxicating.

He returned to the room, put the photos on the table back into the album one by one, wiped the cool mat on the big bed, and picked the wick.

The tall figure was warm and reliable under the dim light.

Thinking that Zhao Zhao was used to drinking water after taking a bath, he poured water by the way.

Unhurried footsteps sounded.

Before Gu Chenghuai turned around, a soft body pressed against his back.

"Comrade Gu, it's really good that you're home." Lin Zhao whispered.

This sentence turned into a soft hand, passing through Gu Chenghuai's chest, tightly grasping his heart.

He felt clearly that his heart was sinking deeper and deeper.

Willing to swallow it like sugar.

Even.

Wishing he could offer it up and present it in her palm.

"Zhao Zhao..."

Lin Zhao leaned her face against the man's broad back, and could clearly feel the slight tremor of his body, the tense muscle lines undulating under the thin shirt, each one hot and vivid.

"Do you still remember what you said to me on our wedding night?" She asked softly.

Gu Chenghuai's hand covered Lin Zhao's, his low voice carrying solemnity and firmness.

"Comrade Lin Zhao, being able to become a revolutionary partner with you is Gu Chenghuai's fortune. Having made a vow, I am willing to go to the hundred-year appointment with you. From now on, you have the final say in the family. I will be loyal, take responsibility, support the family, protect you, cherish you, and never let you regret marrying me for a single moment."

Not a word off.

"Do you remember how I replied?" Lin Zhao asked again.

"You said you wanted to test me." Gu Chenghuai lowered his eyes, wanting to ask her... how the test result was, but swallowed the words back to his lips.

"The test is over, I think you are very good, very good as a lover, very good as a father, everything is good." Lin Zhao curved her eyes, her voice soft, "Gu Chenghuai, I found that I like you more and more."

"Let's live a good life from now on."

"Okay." Gu Chenghuai's pitch-black eyes bloomed with circles of smile marks, he was very cold when he didn't smile, and like the spring breeze when he did, very good-looking.

He was in a very good mood, his long fingers hooked Lin Zhao's arm and pulled lightly.

In an instant.

The delicate and soft body fell into the broad chest.

One strong, one slender, fitting perfectly.

Gu Chenghuai bent down slightly, hugged Lin Zhao's slender waist with one arm, and without much effort, picked her up and put her on the edge of the bed.

Lin Zhao hurriedly raised her hand to press the towel wrapping her hair, exclaimed, and said: "Gu Chenghuai, you didn't give me psychological preparation again!"

"Almost made my towel fall to the ground." She accused.

"If it falls to the ground, I'll wash it." Gu Chenghuai said warmly with a good temper, taking the towel off Lin Zhao's head by the way, carefully smoothing her hair, and gently and meticulously wiping her hair for her.

"You have to wash it if you drop it." Lin Zhao sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, using the man as a pillow.

"I'll wash it, I'm at home, how can I let you wash it." Gu Chenghuai said.

Lin Zhao's smile was sweet.

"Zhao Zhao, I want to go to Eldest Sister's house tomorrow, and see the two Stones by the way." Gu Chenghuai said again.

Soldiers had a high status in the countryside, he went over to take a turn, firstly to see his two nephews, and secondly to support his Eldest Sister.

Country people, there were many unreasonable families, some older people in the village would catch the daughter-in-law who married in and bully her.

He had heard a little about it when he was fourteen, so he would make a special trip every time he came back.

"It should be done, you look at the things in the cabinet and take them, how the two Stones feel about you, this Third Uncle, all depends on your performance." Lin Zhao turned her head to look at him, her eyes and brows full of smiles.

Affection is all about getting along.

Don't think about making children suddenly close to an uncle who hasn't appeared for a long time.

"Mm, thank you." Gu Chenghuai wiped his wife's hair gently, combing it from time to time.

Hands that carry guns can also be very gentle.

Lin Zhao closed her eyes to rest, feeling comfortable enough to fall asleep soon.

The window was open, and from time to time a wisp of warm wind blew in, and her hair dried quickly.

She felt it was really great to not have to worry about the children occasionally.

"Zhao Zhao, sit properly, I'll go hang the towel." Gu Chenghuai whispered.

Lin Zhao pretended to sleep, acting as if she didn't hear.

Her crow-feather-like eyelashes blinked lightly.

Gu Chenghuai showed a doting smile on his face, afraid of being complained about by his wife again, he gave her a preventive shot in advance, "I'm going to hug you."

Lin Zhao's mouth curled up, not making a sound.

The chest behind her trembled, the man seemed to laugh, picked her up with one hand, walked to the door, and hung the towel properly.

Then.

"Click!"

The window was closed.

The next instant, the sound of the curtains being drawn sounded.

Lin Zhao couldn't pretend anymore, opened her eyes, hung her two arms on Gu Chenghuai's neck, wrapped her legs around his waist, poked his solid chest with her slender white fingers, and laughed: "Closing the window, and drawing the curtains... Gu Chenghuai, you tell me, are you trying to do something bad?" ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
