"As long as you feel comfortable, just tell me if you have any questions. I am your sister and I am happy to serve you." Lin Zhao smiled.

Meng Jiusi rubbed his sister's head, his heart warmed and he felt an unprecedented peace.

He enjoyed being with his family; it made him feel like... he wasn't alone.

"Zhao Zhao, I've gone to see Chief Ning."

"He said that I'm in a difficult situation, and the military district will take care of it. I just need to report on time. Once Aunt Ning recovers, I will leave with them." Meng Jiusi was reluctant to leave.

He didn't spend much time with his family, so of course he was reluctant to leave.

Lin Zhao smiled with her eyes curved, "That's great."

Seeing Fourth Brother's reluctance, she said, "Don't be like that. We still have plenty of time to spend together. Fourth Brother, you go first. When the military district assigns you a big house, I'll go there too. Maybe we can convince Mom and Dad to move in with you."

Lin Zhao couldn't bear not seeing her parents for several months.

Meng Jiusi looked expectant, "Is it possible?"

He is a person who lacks love. He has envied children with parents since he was a child. He didn't have parents until he was in his twenties, so of course he wanted to spend more time with them.

"Yes, that's very likely." Lin Zhao blinked. "Mom and Dad aren't at all old-fashioned. They're particular about taking care of the eldest child in their old age. You've only been back for a short time, and they want to spend more time with you."

She smiled somewhat complacently, "The most important thing is that I am my parents' only daughter. When the time comes, I can persuade them, and they will definitely not refuse."

"If all else fails, let Yu Bao and Heng Bao act like spoiled brats. They're really good at pretending to be wronged."

The twins were combing the golden monkey's hair with Jingmo and Xiaobai. When they heard their mother mention their names, the two little brothers looked up with confused eyes.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Hengbao rubbed his nose, and the soft yellow hair got into his nostrils. The child couldn't help but sneeze.

Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing. "It's okay for now. I'm talking to your fourth uncle. We might need your help later."

Yubao loved helping his mother the most. He stood up, his distinct black and white eyes looking over, "What help? Hengbao and I can help."

Jing Mo hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "Auntie, I can do it too."

Xiaobai silently raised his right hand, his fingers covered with golden hairs.

So cute.

Lin Zhao's heart was pounding and she waved to Xiaobai.

The child clapped his hands, patted his fur, and walked over obediently with his little face raised.

"Aunt?" he said in a baby voice.

Lin Zhao hugged her nephew and said softly, "Do you want to eat egg cake?"

"Egg cake?" Xiaobai's eyes widened. His eyes were like those of the Lin family, black and shiny like pearls, watery and very beautiful.

The child nestled in his aunt's arms, nodded, and said softly, "I want to eat."

Although the child was young, he knew what was good and what was bad, and could tell who was sincere and who was fake. He was very close to his aunt Lin Zhao, and gradually dared to tell her what he wanted to eat.

"Auntie will get it for you." Lin Zhao wiped her nephew's hands and carried him to the kitchen to get the egg cake. "Your father said you and your brother like it, so I bought a lot. I'll buy more after you finish eating."

Xiaobai put his soft arms around his aunt's neck and said with a sweet smile, "Thank you, aunt."

Meng Jiusi faced the kitchen and shouted helplessly, "Zhao Zhao, let Xiaobai walk on his own. He's grown up and a bit heavy."

"No, Xiaobai is very light." Lin Zhao tossed her nephew, who was eating egg cake, and he didn't feel heavy. "He's too thin. He needs to eat more. Tomorrow, Auntie will cook meat for us. You can order whatever you want. Anything is fine."

Xiaobai blinked, his eyes full of anticipation, "Sour and sweet meat."

"Sweet and sour pork tenderloin? Sweet and sour spareribs?" Lin Zhao thought of these two sweet and sour meat dishes. Considering Xiaobai's age, she came up with an idea. "How about making sweet and sour pork tenderloin?"

"Yeah!" Xiaobai nodded, his eyes curved into crescents.

Meng Jiusi felt sorry for his sister's hard work, "It's so hard to rest for a day, it would be great if you could just take a break. Why did you go through so much trouble?"

"It's not a big deal. Even if you're not here, the four kids and I still have to eat. The dishes ordered by Hengbao are the troublesome ones, while those ordered by Xiaobai are nothing." Lin Zhao rubbed her face against the child's, making the little guy giggle.

Meng Jiusi looked at his youngest son's smiling face and his eyelids twitched a few times.

His Guangbai.

I don’t know what other terrible things they have experienced besides what Momo told me?

Of the two lively and optimistic children, the older one became full of thorns. Although Jing Mo hid it carefully, he still caught the cruelty that occasionally flashed in his eyes; the younger one became timid and silent. She had to stay where he could be seen all the time, otherwise she would feel uneasy, breathe rapidly, and be unable to breathe.

Meng Jiusi hadn't heard his youngest son laugh out loud for a long time, and he looked so happy.

His brows relaxed and a smile flashed in his eyes.

From this perspective, if Guangbai feels safe enough, he will recover, right?

…

The next day.

When Xiaobai ate the sweet and sour pork tenderloin made by his aunt, the little guy really liked it and ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.

Hengbao dipped the steamed buns in the sweet and sour sauce and ate with a satisfied look on his face.

"Mom, this meat is so delicious, you don't even make it for us."

Lin Zhao refused to take the blame, saying, "You didn't tell me. How would I know you wanted to eat sweet and sour meat if you didn't tell me?"

Hengbao choked, and his mouth, which was full of talk, was now speechless.

After a long while, he muttered, "Kids like sweet and sour meat."

Knowing he couldn't win the argument with his mother, he put his head next to Xiaobai's and said seriously, "Baibai, have you ever eaten any other sour and sweet meat?"

Xiaobai swallowed the meat in his mouth and shook his head, "No more."

The little short finger pointed at the sweet and sour pork tenderloin in the bowl, and said in a soft voice, "Sweet and sour is delicious, auntie is amazing."

Yubao agreed very much, "Everything my mother cooks is delicious."

The twins, a boy and a girl, also tasted the sweet and sour taste. The two little ones, who seldom ate such "heavy-tasting" food, had eyes that lit up like lights. Their little mouths quickened their sucking pace, and they gently swayed their short legs. They looked so carefree that one would want to send them to school.

Lin Zhao didn't let the twins eat too much, just let them taste it.

The little brother and sister ate vegetable porridge and some mashed potatoes, and started to reduce the amount of milk powder. It was not because the family could not afford it, but because the two little ones were not willing to drink it and wanted to eat the same thing as their brother.

Wiping the vegetable leaves off Yaobao's cheek, Lin Zhao said helplessly, "Eat slowly, learn from your brother and eat one bite at a time."

Yaobao didn't listen and continued to eat happily.

Lin Zhao did not interfere anymore, and she would understand when she grew up.

The mother ignored it, but Yubao couldn't stand it any longer and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sister's mouth. "Yaobao, don't scoop too much with the spoon, just scoop half..."

Yaobao didn't want to hear that. She hummed softly, turned her back, and clumsily picked up the small bowl and poured it into her mouth.

Yu Bao: "..."

He looked at Lin Zhao helplessly, "Mom, my sister won't listen to me!!"

Hengbao and Qianbao both listen to their brother, but Yubao is shocked to find that his sister is a troublemaker. He is confused and panic-stricken, not knowing what to do.

"If she doesn't want to listen, then don't. She will listen when she grows up." Lin Zhao comforted her eldest son with her eyes.

"Will it?" Yubao asked, his tone full of uncertainty, and the look he gave Yaobao was as if he was looking at a fallen girl.

Lin Zhao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Yubao looks like his sister is about to be seduced by some yellow-haired guy outside. It's so funny.

"Yes, yes."

Thinking about all these trivial things is really worrying.

Yu Bao was visibly relieved. He glanced at the back of his sister's round head, looked away, and diligently cleaned up the dishes.

"Hengbao, it's your turn to wash the dishes."

Hengbao said, "I remember, brother, please help me get the dishes and chopsticks."

"Hey." Yu Bao helped his brother clean up the dishes, took out a rag to wipe the table, and put away the stools, without letting Lin Zhao do anything.

Mr. Meng looked at him lovingly, "You have raised these children well. They are all sensible. You are blessed."

He said to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao didn't deny it, nor was she modest. "They are indeed sensible. They were taught by their grandmother, and have been obedient since they were young."

Yubao is a mom-obsessed person and couldn't help but interrupt, "Mom taught me too."

"Look at the little guy...he still knows how to protect you." Old Master Meng was very emotional.

It is a true saying that you can tell a person’s future by looking at him when he is three years old.

Yubao blushed with embarrassment and went to watch Dahuang and Amber eat.

…

afternoon.

Lin Zhao led her four children and took Meng Jiusi and others back to the Dongfeng Battalion.

She is a very popular person in the brigade and is praised by every household as a capable person. After getting married, she was able to find a job for her eldest brother from her natal family. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

It is no exaggeration to say that she is the focus of the topic.

When they saw a beautiful girl and four little kids of different heights from afar, the people in the group knew that Lin Zhao had taken the children back to her parents' home.

When they get closer——

"Zhao Zhao, you're back with the kids. You didn't ride a bike this time. You must be tired from walking all the way. Go back quickly and ask your parents to make you some sweet soup." The aunt who had a good relationship with the Lin family spoke.

"Aunt Wang." Lin Zhao greeted the other party with a smile, and asked the four children to call for help.

The four cubs called for help obediently.

They were dressed neatly and decently, had fair complexions, bright and lively eyes, and looked intelligent, which made them very pleasing to the eye.

Even if you dislike Lin Zhao, you can't hate these four bastards.

Old Lady Liu's eyes wandered over the Meng family members, and she asked maliciously, "What are these people doing here?"

"Daughter of the Lin family, your husband is a soldier. We can't do anything to let down our fellow soldiers."

Malice is overwhelming.

Meng Jiusi narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly coldly.

"People with a heart see everything as dirty."

After Qian's evaluation, he looked at Lin Zhao and said gently, "Zhao Zhao, I can't wait to get to know our family. Please lead the way. I've been waiting for this day for many years!"

Lin Zhao gave Old Lady Liu a cold look, ignored her, and led the way.

"Brother, come with me. Our house is made of bricks and tiles, so it's easy to spot."

They entered the village quickly.

"...Fourth brother? Did I hear correctly?" The old woman sewing shoe soles pricked her finger and felt the pain, then she came to her senses. "That young man is a child of the Lin family?!"

Those who knew about the past covered their mouths and asked, "The child of the Lin family who was stolen at birth... is back?"

"That's impossible. How could he be found again after being missing for over 20 years? Could he be the brother the Lin family's daughter found outside?"

Old Lady Liu said confidently, "That must be the case. That young man looks nothing like anyone from the Lin family. He can't possibly be the lost child of the Lin family!"

She had failed to harm the Lin family before, but instead harmed her own older son-in-law. Without the support of her innocent daughter, her family's life fell into a slump. She had long hated Song Xiwei to the core and wished that she would never find her biological son.

"I think that young man looks a lot like Zhao Zhao's father." They are both handsome and good-looking.

"Those two boys look alike too. And there's an old man too. What's with that old man? Why does Zhao Zhao bring everyone home?"

…

What happens in the village cannot be kept secret; it will spread everywhere in no time.

The things that were spread were not good.

Some say that Lin Zhao found a brother outside and brought him home. Some say that she found a powerful godfather and wanted someone to find jobs for her whole family... It's so outrageous.

Lin Zhao didn't know this yet.

She brought Meng Jiusi and others to the Lin family.

"Big Egg, Second Egg...your Fourth Uncle and I are back. Come out now, what are you doing..."

The people in the room came out.

"Auntie, Auntie!"

Seeing Lin Zhao was very strange.

When he looked at Meng Jiusi's face, it looked unfamiliar.

Who is this... ?

What did my aunt just call, Fourth Uncle?

Do they have it?

Dadan and the others were very confused and looked at their aunt blankly.

"Huh? Didn't your father tell you?" Lin Zhao asked puzzledly.

"...What should my father tell us?" Dadan asked on his behalf.

Erdan and others nodded vigorously.

Oh, that's right, what are you talking about.

Lin Zhao pulled Dadan and the others aside and briefly explained the whole story to them. Lin Heling and Song Xiwei greeted Mr. Meng and spoke to Meng Jiusi.

Hearing what his aunt said, Dadan was shocked and turned into an emoticon. "Aunt, are you saying that we originally had three uncles? He..."

He pointed at Meng Jiusi with a sly expression, "He's my fourth uncle?!!"

"Is that what you mean?"

Lin Zhao nodded. "Yes, I fully understand."

"Auntie, you're amazing." Dadan said with admiration, "You used the birthmark on my fourth uncle's ear to find him. You're better than any detective in the books."

The focus is clear.

Lin Zhao: This is a compliment to her.

"I've heard your grandfather say this since I was a kid. My ears are calloused from hearing it. I'm sure he'll recognize it if he sees it. You'll recognize it too, even if it's you."

Erdan said, "That's because Auntie is careful. My brother is so careless that he even forgets to write his name during exams. He can't recognize it."

Big Egg: “…”

He hasn't beaten his brother in almost a week!

Lin Zhao was extremely happy.

"I brought you some egg cakes, go get them."

Xibao hugged Lin Zhao's waist, swaying her little body, her voice waving with a wave, "Auntie is the best."

After that, he pulled Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng to get the egg cake.

Each of them took a piece and went out to act as a trumpeter, talking about their fourth uncle.

Instead of being spread rumors by others, it is better to tell your own truth. This is what their grandfather taught them.

then.

Before the rumors in the village could spread widely, newer news came, and it was spread by the family of the person involved, so it’s guaranteed to be authentic.

The people of the Dongfeng Brigade were very excited.

They soon found out...the Lin family let them know.

It turns out that Meng Jiusi is the youngest son of the Lin family who was stolen. He was found by Lin Zhao. He was adopted by the Meng family when he was young, studied medicine, went to university, got married, and had two sons...

Lin family.

Meng Jiusi was led by Lin Zhao to his room and saw... Lin Heling made him a set of clothes every year, some for his childhood and some for his adulthood, filling up the cabinets.

His throat was dry and his lips were pursed.

There was silence for a long while.

"Dad makes clothes for me every year, and I never even thought about it." Meng Jiusi sat on his bed, looking around the room, tears flashing in his eyes. "For so many years, I have been wondering where my home is and why my parents don't want me. When I encounter injustice, I can't help but complain... Why did they give birth to me if they didn't want to raise me? I didn't expect..."

It turned out that even in a place where he couldn't see, his parents were thinking about him and loving him with all their heart.

Lin Zhao sat next to her fourth brother, looking out the window, and recounted her childhood memories. "No one except my parents could enter your room. My second brother once sneaked into your room and slept in your bed. My third brother got into a fight with him, saying, 'This is your room, no one else can occupy it.' He would beat anyone who did..."

The scenes that Zhao Zhao said flashed through Meng Jiusi's mind, and the corners of his mouth kept rising.

The beggar boy, whose heart was overwhelmed with regret, gradually disappeared.
