Chapter 88
The twins happily went to tell everyone they knew that their father and mother were going to take them to the county to watch a movie in the afternoon, and it was "Female Pilot," a movie about flying planes, which made the older children and younger children envious.
Tie Chui looked at his good brothers longingly and said: "Seeing Seeing Dazai, Hearing Hearing Erzai, after you finish watching, come back and tell me about it, I want to hear it."
"Definitely will tell you," the Hearing Hearing Erzai patted his chest.
The Seeing Seeing Dazai's expression was regretful, "It's a pity the county is a bit far, otherwise I would have wanted to beg Father and Mother to take you along."
This remark from his brother gave the Hearing Hearing Erzai a flash of inspiration.
He ran home with a patter-patter, and said to Lin Zhao who was about to go out: "Mother, can we take Tie Chui along to watch the movie this afternoon?"
Knowing that the bicycle couldn't carry everyone, the little child cleverly gave a countermeasure, "Mother can ride the bike back first in the evening, and Father can take us walking back, is that okay? Tie Chui hasn't seen a movie yet."
The younger brother ran into the house, and the Seeing Seeing Dazai naturally followed. Hearing the Hearing Hearing Erzai's words, he raised his little head, his eyes bright, "Mother, use my New Year's money to buy the tickets."
"Mother said she would give us New Year's money, I have New Year's money, right?" he asked immediately after.
The Hearing Hearing Erzai raised his right hand, "You can use my New Year's money too."
Seeing the liveliness here, the Quiet Quiet San Zai walked over holding the Fourth Cub's hand, two little white dumplings, their cheeks round and cute, their eyes black and bright, curving their eyes to smile sweetly at people, with amazing lethality.
Not to mention, they also kept their little faces straight, imitating their second older brother, and raised their chubby arms.
"Use mine~" the twins said in unison.
Gu Chenghuai looked at his wife.
It didn't matter to him, he could take all the children in the family, it mainly depended on Zhaozhao's meaning.
Lin Zhao put on her satchel, carrying the matchboxes that her sister-in-law and her husband had glued, and asked with a smile: "Since we are taking Tie Chui, why can't we take Bang Bang and the others too?"
"Eh?" the Seeing Seeing Dazai said "eh," his eyes brightening instantly.
The Hearing Hearing Erzai elongated his tone, the excitement in his eyes almost turning into substance, "Mother?"
Lin Zhao curved her eyes, "I'll find someone to reserve tickets at noon, a little past two in the afternoon, I'll have your father take you all to the county, everyone is going to watch the movie today."
"Ah ah ah! Everyone is going to watch the movie!!" the Hearing Hearing Erzai beamed, jumping up excitedly.
"Thank you, Mother, I'm going to tell Bang Bang and the others, they will definitely be very happy."
As soon as he finished speaking, his feet seemed to be equipped with wind-fire wheels, and he ran away with a whoosh.
Lin Zhao hopped onto the back seat of the bicycle, and even after being carried by Gu Chenghuai more than ten meters away from home, she could still hear the children's excited voices.
"My mother said, she's going to take us to watch a movie! Bang Bang, Lai Mei, Tie Dan, Tie Chui, A Lan, we can all go, we're going to watch 'Female Pilot.' My mother said it's about several aunties flying planes, it's super good."
For someone with such a strong desire to express, you don't even need to look to know it's the Hearing Hearing Erzai.
The Seeing Seeing Dazai also smiled, his voice light and fast, "That's right, after two o'clock in the afternoon, my father will take us to the cinema."
Tie Chui was also happy, hugging his good brothers, excitedly making "yo-yo-yo" sounds non-stop.
The children in the village all heard about it and came running one after another to find the Gu family children.
After confirming the news was true, they cast envious glances at the Gu family children.
"Bang Bang, are your Third Uncle and Third Aunt really going to take you all to the cinema?" a boy in the fifth grade asked.
Bang Bang nodded proudly, his whole face overflowing with anticipation and joy, "That's right."
"Your Third Uncle and Third Aunt are really good," the boy said with emotion.
"It was Third Aunt's idea," Bang Bang knew that if it weren't for Third Aunt, Third Uncle would never have thought of taking them to watch a movie.
Two meters away, Yuan Bao held the Hearing Hearing Erzai's hand, his words sincere, "Hearing Hearing Erzai, after you finish watching, come back and tell us about it, I am your good brother."
Ye Tie Niu squeezed him away and competed, "Hearing Hearing Erzai, me too! Me too!!"
Da Zhuang was short, but his body was flexible, and he squeezed hard between the two, saying loudly: "Hearing Hearing Erzai, we are neighbors, my grandma said, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We are the best."
"Not you, it's me. I am the twins' best good friend," Yuan Bao said angrily.
Several little children, in order to compete for the position of the twins' number one good friend, started shouting and arguing.
The Seeing Seeing Dazai took a candy out of his pocket, tore off the wrapper, licked it slowly, and said: "Don't argue, Tie Chui is our number one good brother and good friend."
Yuan Bao stared hotly at the candy in his hand, licked his lips, and asked earnestly: "Do you have a second good brother and good friend? I want to be that."
"You can, then from now on you are the second good brother and good friend of me and the Hearing Hearing Erzai," the Seeing Seeing Dazai said.
Yuan Bao grinned.
"Twins, then I'll be the third," Ye Tie Niu said anxiously.
"I'll be the fourth!"
"I'll be the fifth!!"
Before long, the Seeing Seeing Dazai and Hearing Hearing Erzai had recognized a group of good brothers and good friends, completely becoming the children's king of their age group.
The two Lin brothers came early in the morning to help, and were working hard to build the house with several people hired by Gu Father. Hearing from the members of the Fengshou Brigade that Zhaozhao and her brother-in-law were going to take the Gu family children to the county to watch a movie, the two brothers were stunned.
Lin Shisheng quickly came back to his senses, his chin raised high, "My Zhaozhao is kind-hearted, returning kindness for kindness; if others are good to her by one point, she can return it by ten."
Lin Shichang sighed gloomily, worriedly saying: "Sigh, this kind of personality is good, but it's too easy to suffer losses, we brothers have to keep a closer eye on her, lest some blind people bully my younger sister."
Singing in harmony with his second younger brother.
The corners of the mouths of the several strong men who came to help twitched.
No, Gu family's third daughter-in-law, protected by her parents-in-law, and her husband is a promising officer, who would, who would dare to be blind enough to bully her?
Oh, right, there was one who was blind, Gu Chan, but didn't she get sent in?!
It's also miserable.
How will she get married in the future.
Lin Zhao was far away from home, but could still hear the two cubs' happy children's voices, she poked Gu Chenghuai's arm and laughed: "Look at your sons, how happy they are."
Gu Chenghuai corrected her wording, "They are your sons too."
He didn't like separating himself from Zhaozhao, and it was the same in everything.
Lin Zhao wasn't surprised; when they first got married, this man stared at the names and photos on their marriage certificate for several days, happily silly.
Fearing that the paper would be damaged, he even got a frame for it.
"Yes, yes, yes, our sons, my and your sons."
Gu Chenghuai's brows and eyes relaxed.
"After I drop you off, I'll go see my eldest sister."
"Okay," Lin Zhao nodded, and then said: "Watching the movie in the afternoon, take the two Stones along too, one sheep is grazing, a group of sheep is also grazing. You, this biological uncle, don't come home often, give you all a chance to deepen your relationship."
She couldn't be close to Gu Chan, but her sister-in-law was a good person, and she was willing to have a good relationship.
"Okay, I'll pick them up on the way," Gu Chenghuai agreed.
The two Stones weren't at a noisy age, and they were both sensible, so taking them along was fine.
"The road is bad, sit tight," he suddenly said.
Lin Zhao blinked, "I am sitting tight."
Gu Chenghuai lowered his head to glance at his waist and abdomen; those tender white arms hadn't reached up, and he felt a sense of loss.
"Hold on tight," he repeated.
Lin Zhao raised her hand to adjust her hat, the brim covering the smile at the corners of her eyes and brows.
She deliberately grabbed the seat and said: "Alright."
"..."
The resentment on someone's body leaked out silently like a leaking floor, and his tall back radiated waves of resentment.
Lin Zhao couldn't help but laugh out loud, her laughter as light as silver bells.
"Comrade Lin Zhao," Gu Chenghuai said helplessly.
Why is she so fond of teasing people?
He sighed in his heart, not knowing how indulgent and doting the smile in his eyes was.
The roads in the village were all dirt roads, and it was inevitable to be bumpy when riding a bicycle on them. Lin Zhao hugged Gu Chenghuai, leaned her head on his back, and closed her eyes slightly, "Call me when we're almost there."
"Mm."
Gu Chenghuai rode very steadily, trying his best to avoid the potholes on the road. The sun wasn't big in the morning, a breeze carrying fragrance blew over, the sun rose in the east, and the blue sky was lit up by a cluster of orange, as beautiful as an oil painting.
The person riding the bike had an especially calm heart.
The young couple, who looked very well-matched, were bumped into by Su Yuxian, who was just about to go to work.
Almost in an instant, jealousy uncontrollably spread in Su Yuxian's eyes.
It was impossible not to be jealous.
She treated Lin Zhao as an imaginary enemy, wanting to compare with her in every aspect.
But things went contrary to her wishes.
The person being compared had a husband who handed over all his salary, was tall and handsome, was protected by his parents-in-law at home, and had sensible and obedient children.
And her, who was comparing secretly, had a husband who disliked her, the drag-and-drop at home wasn't worry-free either, provoking her to anger everywhere, and her parents-in-law stared at her with disgusted and strange eyes, those eyes... it was as if she were some jinx, cursing the Lu family to lose money and lose good luck.
Su Yuxian rolled her eyes, was it her fault? Was it!
Even if there was a jinx, it was Lu Baozhen, and maybe her luck was so good before because she borrowed someone else's luck, and now she had to pay it back.
Her surname is Su, the Lu family's unlucky things have nothing to do with her.
Su Yuxian stood in place, letting her imagination run wild, her expression dull.
Gu Chenghuai noticed the unkind gaze coming from her, narrowed his cold eyes to look over, and after discovering that she didn't pose a danger, he withdrew his gaze.
"Zhaozhao, that person over there, do you know her?" he opened his lips.
Lin Zhao opened her eyes and looked around.
"Su Yuxian?"
"Mm," Gu Chenghuai hummed, and said: "That person's expression is wrong, did she bully you?"
"No," Lin Zhao laughed lightly.
Even knowing that she had quite a bit of strength and ordinary people couldn't move her at all, Gu Chenghuai was still afraid of her being wronged or bullied.
"She can't beat me," Lin Zhao emphasized.
"It's just some secret comparisons, it's fine, she doesn't dare do anything to me."
Gu Chenghuai had seen a lot and didn't dare to gamble on human nature; even the most weak and harmless person, after developing a bad heart, could cause great lethality.
He said worriedly: "Be on guard, don't be careless."
Lin Zhao responded obediently, "Okay."
Thinking of Lu Baozhen's first backer in the original book, she pondered for a moment and asked: "How is your relationship with Lu Yizhou?"
Gu Chenghuai raised his cold eyes, his tone relaxed, "Why did you suddenly ask about him? I'm not familiar with him."
"Not familiar?" Lin Zhao was surprised, "You are from the same village, and your ages are similar, how can you not be familiar? You don't like him?"
Gu Chenghuai didn't say much, his expression calm, "Not the same kind of person."
He liked to associate with open and honest people, and he had always been respectful and distant toward those with a belly full of little schemes.
Afraid of being set up.
As a farm boy, it wasn't easy to get to where he was today, and he wanted to continue on this path in the future, standing at the highest point to support his family, so every step had to be taken solidly.
"If you don't like him, stay away from him," Lin Zhao's voice was filled with a smile.
Gu Chenghuai smiled and responded: "Okay."
Accompanied by the bright morning light, a string of tire tracks were left on the dirt road, the white poplars on both sides of the road rustled, and whispering sounds came out from time to time.
"Zhaozhao, what do you think of the character 'Zhi'?" Gu Chenghuai suddenly asked.
Lin Zhao moved her head a few centimeters away from his back, quite puzzled, "Why did you suddenly ask this? I'm a bit confused."
"I sent the four cubs to the main room last night and saw Father holding that tattered dictionary, asking Quiet Quiet San Zai... what he thought of the character 'Zhi'? Looking at Father's meaning, it seems he wants to use the character 'Zhi' to name the four cubs," Gu Chenghuai said.
Zhi.
Gu Zhi... what?
Lin Zhao grabbed the man's hem, her tone rising, revealing curiosity, "Gu Chenghuai, what kind of names do you think Father will come up with?"
"Do you think your man is a god?" Gu Chenghuai raised a helpless smile at the corner of his eyes, "I can't guess."
Lin Zhao lowered her eyes in disappointment, "... Alright."
"Wait a bit longer, it's a matter for this month," Gu Chenghuai comforted his wife's emotions in a gentle voice; before he returned to the army, they should be able to be named.
Not long after.
The bicycle stopped at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Do you want to drink soda?" Gu Chenghuai lowered his eyes to look at his wife, his voice clear and moist, "If you want to drink, I'll go buy it for you."
Lin Zhao shook her head, "I don't want to drink."
"Go in, it's hot, drink more water, if you feel stuffy, go out and walk around," Gu Chenghuai urged.
"I know, you go back, see you in the afternoon," Lin Zhao waved at him, turned around, and entered the unit door.
Gu Chenghuai watched her figure disappear, stepped lightly with his right foot, and the bicycle slid away from the spot with a whoosh, disappearing in an instant.
Very coincidentally.
At the next corner, he bumped into that group of students shouting slogans again.
They were surrounding a person, kicking and beating them, each movement more ruthless than the last. After the person being beaten lost their glasses, the student who looked like the little leader actually stepped on them and crushed them, smiling very triumphantly.
"Old Blind Man!" the boy's face was full of malice.
The handsome and heroic officer's brows tightened, and a frightening coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The person next to the boy bumped his arm lightly, letting him look at the street corner.
He looked up.
He met a pair of deep eyes without any ripples.
A chilling coldness radiated from within, almost turning into wind blades, constantly cutting the flesh he had exposed outside his clothes.
The boy seemed to be fixed in place, his limbs stiff, not daring to move at all.
That figure got closer and closer, his heart tightened, and he secretly thought he was really unlucky.
Gu Chenghuai stopped, squinted at the several students, his face cold, his eyes full of coldness, "Bullying the weak?"
"Is this how the school taught you?"
The students who were just arrogant were scared into quails, not daring to make a sound.
Gu Chenghuai parked his bicycle, strode out with his straight long legs, walked over in two or three steps, and bent down to help up the old man who had been beaten.
He knew this person; this was an old teacher who had once taught Zhaozhao and had also cultivated countless excellent talents for the country.
He heard that he had retired a few years ago, but he couldn't let go of the education cause, didn't rest, and remained at the school; he didn't expect him to become a target.
Among the students, there was a little girl who considered herself an Iron Lady.
She was quite bold and couldn't help but say: "He is a bad element, he deserves to be beaten!"
Gu Chenghuai's deep gaze landed on her.
"Where is the evidence?"
The female student didn't dare to look into his eyes, feeling that he was looking at a dead person, which was very scary.
She shifted her gaze, her tone stubborn: "He questioned the decisions in the documents, he is a bad person, down with the bad guy, we are not wrong!"
The old teacher spoke up to defend himself, "I have never questioned any document, I just think it won't do for the school to keep making such a scene."
He smiled gratefully at Gu Chenghuai, stood straight by his own strength, the light in his eyes not covered by the blood on his face.
"The younger generation is the future of the country, you should be studying at this age, you should use all your unplaced energy... on absorbing scientific and cultural knowledge, taking university entrance exams, becoming the backbone of the country, instead of... instead of wasting time on this meaningless thing of fighting heaven, fighting earth, and fighting your compatriots..."
This last sentence was seized upon by the fanatical students.
