Hearing the excited voices around him, Yu Bao was stunned for a moment and looked at his friends.

"Why don't you call me and Hengbao?"

Yuanbao whispered to Xiao Heishu, "Your family members are all here and are still talking. We dare not shout."

Maodan was silent, with a slightly complicated expression.

He suggested that they shout, but the other children disagreed and kept shrinking back.

Amber couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she used her feet to pull them away and her head to nudge them, but it was all useless.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. My family members are all very nice and they won't bully children. Just call us directly in the future and we will come out when we hear us." Yu Bao said with a serious expression.

"Okay." The child agreed.

Hengbao took out photos of Yuanbao, Dazhuang and others, and said cheerfully, "Yuanbao, Dazhuang...your photos!"

"Wow!"

The children touched the photos and cheered.

"The ingots are printed on small pieces of paper, and there's a big banyan tree behind them!"

"The ingot was placed on someone's neck, with a big red flower on it, hahahaha..."

Yuan Bao felt uncomfortable with his friends' laughter and shouted, "Stop laughing, let's listen to some music."

He also knew how to change the subject.

Yubao was very careful and knew that taking photos cost money. The village chief felt bad for them because he was afraid that Yuanbao and the others would get the photos wet, so he suggested, "Yuanbao, Tieniu, Dazhuang...you guys take the photos home first, and then we'll listen to the radio. We won't listen yet and will wait for you here. The photos will get wet if you hold them in your hands and will get wrinkled if you put them in your pockets."

Heng Bao added: "A photo is very expensive."

When the children heard this, they didn't dare to delay any longer and ran home quickly.

He ran a few steps and suddenly stopped.

Look back.

"Yubao, Hengbao, you guys have to wait for us."

The child's voice was sweet and soft. Lin Zhao had just walked out of the house and was so cute that she smiled.

When the twins saw her, they stood up and asked, "Mom, where are you going?"

"I'm just taking a walk. Do you want to join me?" Lin Zhao smiled.

The children who didn't take photos grabbed Yubao and Hengbao's hands, shook them, and prayed quietly, "We want to listen to the radio!"

"I remember." Yubao replied to his friend.

Then he looked at Lin Zhao, "Mom, we're not going. Hengbao and I promised the kids that we would listen to the radio with them. You go, but go slowly. Go home when you're tired."

Lin Zhao: “…”

What's with the second half of the sentence? Why does she sound like her parents?

"Okay, go have fun." Lin Zhao waved her hand and walked away slowly towards the foot of the mountain.

Yu Bao stared at her back for a long time.

He thinks his mother is a little weird.

My mother used to like to lie down after get off work. My father asked her to go out for a walk, but she didn’t want to. Why does she go out so often these days? What good things are there in the mountains?

Not long after, Yuanbao, Tieniu and others came running over, accompanied by loud children's voices.

"Twins, here we come."

"Yeah, you guys really were waiting for us."

Yu Bao said seriously, "I promised you. I must do what I promised to others. My father said this is a matter of credit."

"My mother never does what she promised me." Yuanbao clenched her hands, very angry, "She said she would take me to the city to play, but she didn't take me at all. What a liar."

"Your mother has to go to the fields to earn work points. If she doesn't work for one day, she won't get any work points. If she doesn't work for two days, she won't get any work points. Only with work points can you get food and money. Yuanbao, your mother is saving money. When she saves enough money, she will take you with her." Yubao always heard his father Gu mumbling and knew how important work points were to the country people.

He still thinks it's better to be a city dweller.

After hearing what his friend said, Yuanbao was no longer angry, "Okay."

Tie Niu was so anxious that he urged, "When can we listen to the radio?"

Hengbao stretched out his little hand to the radio switch, turned it, and the red song started singing. He turned up the volume again, and now the sound could be heard several meters away.

The adults in the village were attracted by the sound.

"Big boy, is this a radio?" the visitor asked in a tone of shock and disbelief.

No, will it? !

Who would give a radio worth hundreds of dollars to a kid?

Yu Bao frowned and said, "I'm not called Da Zai, I'm called Gu Zhiyu."

"Uncle, you can call me Yubao." He emphasized again.

The middle-aged man didn't care at all. Aren't Dazai and Yubao the eldest brothers in the Chenghuai family? Why should he care so much about it?

"Is this a radio? Is it fake?"

"It's not fake!" Heng Bao retorted loudly, "This is a gift from my uncle to me and my brother. It's a radio."

The little guy felt that his uncle was being looked down upon and refuted the villagers' words very seriously.

Another person said, "I've seen a radio before, it's a big iron box, and you..."

He looked at the black and white cat with disbelief on his face.

Yu Bao looked at the man and said logically, "If not, why can it make sounds? Besides the radio, is there anything else that can make sounds?"

The villagers had no idea and were choked when asked.

"This was assembled by someone my great uncle. He thought the radios he sold were ugly and not suitable for children. He also learned from Uncle Yuncheng that Hengbao and I like cats, so he made a cat radio. This is the radio!" Yubao explained again impatiently.

"Okay, okay, it's a radio." Seeing that the boy was so serious, the villagers said a few words to him.

Then he changed the subject and asked, "Besides listening to music, is there any other use for this?"

Yu Bao felt that he had convinced the other party, and he raised the corners of his mouth happily, "Yes, I can also listen to books, news, operas... There are so many things I can listen to!"

The ignorant kids are exaggerating. There are very few programs available on the radio these days.

The villagers seldom go out and are less experienced than Yu Bao, so they feel a sense of superiority.

"What is news?" someone asked.

The twins didn't know either.

Yubao sat on a big rock, swinging his legs, with a serious look on his cute little face.

"I forgot to ask."

Heng Bao said, "I forgot to ask."

Just then, Gu Chenghuai walked out of the Gu family's gate, glanced coldly at the children at the door, then retracted his gaze indifferently and prepared to go to the new house.

But he was stopped by Hengbao.

"dad!"

Gu Chenghuai stopped and looked at him, "What's the matter?"

Heng Bao asked anxiously, "Dad, do you know what news is? Uncle said you can listen to news on the radio."

"News is the latest news." Gu Chenghuai answered his son, "For example, if you and your brother have a radio, this is the news of our village. There are big news and small news. The news broadcast on the radio is the big news, based on provinces and cities."

The children didn't understand at first, but after he gave an example, they understood.

"My brother and I made news?" Heng Bao's eyes lit up and he looked at his father proudly, "Is that right?"

"..."

That’s not wrong to understand it this way.

"Yes." Gu Chenghuai responded and walked away with big strides.

Yubao calmly looked at the uncle who had just asked the question and said, "My father answered it."

The man he called uncle stared at the cat radio in disbelief and said in surprise, "According to your father, with this radio, you two can know what's happening in the country without leaving home?"

Yubao thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

"Your mother's uncle is really willing to give up." said Changsheng's uncle.

He was also one of the onlookers.

"He's my mother's uncle, and also my brother and I's great uncle!" Hengbao said loudly, his tone full of pride, "My aunt is also very good, she also cooks delicious meat for us. By the way, my aunt is also a worker."

People present: There is no need to emphasize this.

The excited little kid kept talking, "And my uncles, I mean Uncle Yuncheng and Uncle Yunjin, they are also very nice, they bought us sweet ice cream and took us ice skating.

Ice skating is so much fun. I haven’t had enough of it. My mom can skate too. She is very good at it. She can skate very far with a single skating motion. I also want to skate as well as her. My mom said that if I skate a few more times… I will be able to skate as well as her. She also said that she will take us there later. "

When he gets excited, he even moves, making it sound vivid and lifelike.

The villagers had just finished work and had not yet heard the twins talk about the city. They were not in a hurry to go home for dinner, so they simply stopped and listened to him.

"Hengbao, this is the building where your great uncle lives, right?"

Hengbao gestured with his hands, "Yes, it's a very tall building. We have to climb the stairs. My uncle's house is on the third floor."

"It must be comfortable to live there." The person spoke with envy.

Others are also envious. Nowadays, no one doesn't want to be a city dweller.

"I don't know whether it's comfortable or not. I don't live here. Qianbao and Yaobao do. You have to ask them." Hengbao thought the sofa was quite comfortable.

Uncle Changsheng looked at the third child who was sitting there playing with a ball, whistled at him, attracted the little boy's attention, and said jokingly, "Is your uncle's house comfortable?"

I asked, but I didn't expect Sanzai to come back.

Such a small kid, not even as tall as his thigh, what does he know? He definitely doesn’t know what he is asking.

Unexpectedly, the short, chubby little guy said calmly, "Comfortable."

"Oh, you can understand what I say." Uncle Changsheng looked surprised.

Yubao touched his brother's head gently with a proud expression, "Qianbao is smart and can understand everything the adults say."

My younger brother is smarter than me, but as an older brother I don’t care at all. Instead, I’m very happy.

This is his biological brother.

"You four kids, wow!" Uncle Changsheng exclaimed in amazement.

He had heard people say before that Sanzai was smart and could read books at a young age. He thought the villagers were exaggerating, but as soon as they started talking, he realized that it was the truth.

The young man looked at his silly nephew, crossed his arms, and said disdainfully, "Sure enough, you can tell whether a person is smart or not when he is very young."

Chang Sheng was listening to the radio happily when his uncle suddenly looked down upon him. He was so angry that he jumped up and down and yelled, "Uncle! What's wrong with me?!"

"Learn from these four kids." Uncle Changsheng patted his head, "Silly boy."

Ever since being taught a lesson by Lin Zhao, Changsheng has been isolated by other kids and his personality has become much more likable. Changsheng's uncle also starts to like this kid a little more, as he used to be too lazy to pay attention to him.

Chang Sheng looked at the four cubs playing with the rag tiger and scratched his head. He didn’t want to learn what the little girl was playing with!

Under the influence of the twins, Changsheng no longer used insulting words like "little girl" and "money-losing piece" and gradually he stopped thinking that way in his heart.

…

There was a lot of hustle and bustle in front of Gu's house, but there were not many people at the foot of the

Lin Zhao went to find the fourth brother and stuffed two White Rabbit candies into Meng Jiusi's pocket. "Fourth brother, have some candy to replenish your energy."

Meng Jiusi was cutting grass for pigs, clumsily but seriously.

"Thank you." He wiped the sweat off his face, cleaned his hands, took the candy, opened the package and put the candy in his mouth. He tasted the sweetness and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

"You're welcome." Lin Zhao said.

She pointed at the pigweed. "Do you want me to help you?"

Meng Jiusi didn't expect his sister to help him, so he asked jokingly, "Can you do it?"

Lin Zhao gave him a look of surprise. "I am a country girl after all. I should be able to do basic farm work. I can also harvest wheat and break corn..."

"I can't tell." Meng Jiusi's eyes were full of smiles.

He felt it was easy and comfortable to get along with the Lin family.

Even when he was in a tough situation, his sister's presence could calm him down.

"You're like a city girl, the kind who doesn't know what wheat looks like."

When Lin Zhao's fourth brother praised her beauty, her eyebrows curved and she said, "I can't help it. I grew up in love."

Meng Jiusi did not think of himself and feel sorry for himself, but was happy for his sister, "This is very good."

"Fourth brother, how come you're not... angry or dissatisfied at all?" Lin Zhao really didn't understand. Most people who received a life script like her fourth brother's would feel very unfair and would feel that the whole world owed them something. But her fourth brother was so calm that he seemed to be able to accept everything.

"What are you angry about? What are you dissatisfied with?" Meng Jiusi looked calm.

"I am unfortunate, but I am lucky to have met my grandfather. He knows that I was not abandoned and my family has been looking for me. I don't have any regrets in my heart, so why should I be dissatisfied?"

He looked at Lin Zhao and said, "You are my biological sister. I hope you are well."

Especially since he knew that nine out of ten girls in the countryside were not valued, had no chance to go to school, had no chance to see the world, and had to stay at home from childhood to adulthood. When they reached the right age, they could not escape the fate of being exchanged for a bride price...

He was very happy to see that his sister was being well taken care of by her family. He also felt that his family was very good and he felt from the bottom of his heart that it was a blessing for him to have such a family.

Unlike Lin Zhao, Meng Jiusi could not easily say "love". He only thought silently in his heart.

"Fourth brother..." Lin Zhao knew that what he said was sincere, and her heart was stirred.

"Although I think you're a little silly, I like you more, Fourth Brother."

Meng Jiusi was so annoyed that his face turned red.

Even his ex-wife had never said such disgusting words to him.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

Except for Mr. Meng, everyone else in the Meng family disliked him and bullied him openly or covertly. He used to think that this was his fate, or maybe he was born unlovable...

His sister's words of love made Meng Jiusi feel that he was not so bad after all.

Lin Zhao took out the magic needle she brought with her, "Fourth brother, can you see if the needle I brought you can be used?"

The needles in the needle bag are of different lengths and thicknesses.

She didn't know any medical skills and didn't know whether Fourth Brother could use it.

Meng Jiusi's eyes were burning when he saw the needle given by his sister.

"It's useful. Zhao Zhao, your set of needles is very valuable and can be a family heirloom."

Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his fourth brother would speak so highly of this set of needles. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you as a family heirloom."

The tone is casual yet serious.

Meng Jiusi looked at her suddenly, his eyes full of disapproval, "I am your brother, how can I take advantage of my sister? Keep it for yourself and sell it when you are short of money. You can get a lot of money."

It was clearly him who was selling it, but it was also him who was looking reluctant.

He was not greedy, but he felt sad at the thought that the needle would fall into the hands of someone who didn't know what was going on.

"I'm not short of money." Lin Zhao replied.

"This needle is more valuable if it is kept by someone who knows Chinese medicine. Fourth brother, keep it and study your medical skills well. When you become a famous doctor, many people will give you money. How can you not spend your money on your only sister?"

Meng Jiusi immediately said, "Of course not. I am willing to give you anything I have."

"That's all right. Stop talking nonsense. Keep the needle. If you're afraid of losing it, dig a hole and hide it. You might need it someday." Lin Zhao's attitude did not allow for refusal.

She was thinking that maybe her fourth brother would have the opportunity to become a doctor in the brigade in the future and wouldn't have to waste his time doing those rough jobs.

There are still ten years left.
