"Why are you calling me dad?" Heng Bao asked directly, "Do you know my dad?"
Meng Jiusi hummed, "Yes, I know him. Just tell him that the lame man at the foot of the mountain called him and there's something urgent going on."
The twins did not act on their own, such as directly refusing on behalf of their father.
They agreed, "Wait, we'll go and shout."
"Don't let anyone hear it." Meng Jiusi warned.
Although Yu Bao thought he was mysterious, he didn't oppose him. He nodded, held his hand, and ran down the mountain.
Back home.
"Dad, someone is looking for you!" Hengbao's loud voice rang out.
Yubao covered his brother's mouth, "Keep your voice down!"
Gu Chenghuai walked over and looked outside the door. He saw no one and looked down at his two sons. "Who's looking for me?"
"The lame man who lives at the foot of the mountain, the one with the little leaves on his ears, said he has something urgent to discuss with you," Yubao told his father.
Hearing this, Lin Zhao raised her eyes.
Why would Fourth Brother call the kid "Dad" so early in the morning? Something must have happened, and it must be a small matter.
"I'll go with you." She stood up.
Gu Chenghuai: "No, you eat first, and I'll come back and take you to work."
After saying this, he walked out of the house with his long legs.
The twins wanted to follow. Lin Zhao thought of something and hurriedly called out to the two cubs, "Yubao, Hengbao, I can't finish this fried egg. Can you two little men help your mother eat it?"
The brothers slammed on the brakes.
Fried eggs.
"Okay." Yubao said in a sweet voice.
Hengbao smiled carelessly and sat next to Lin Zhao, looking puzzled. "Mom, the fried eggs are so delicious. Hengbao and I can't eat enough. Why can't you eat it? What a pity."
Lin Zhao smiled, "Because I'm full from other food, I can only ask the awesome twins to help me fry the eggs."
The two little brothers' mouth corners curled up wildly because of their mother's coaxing.
Yubao said, "Mom, please share it with us."
Heng Bao added, "Mom, you have to be fair. We can't have one big and one small. My brother and I have to share it equally."
"Don't worry, I've never been unfair." Lin Zhao used chopsticks to split the fried egg in half, giving each of the two children half. "Are they the same size?"
The two brothers said in unison: "Same, mom is amazing."
"Eat it."
Only after leaving the twins behind did Lin Zhao have time to think about her fourth brother. She made all kinds of guesses and wondered why her fourth brother was looking for Gu Chenghuai, but she could not figure it out.
Gu Chenghuai had long legs and walked very fast. He soon reached the foot of the mountain and found Meng Jiusi.
"Fourth brother, are you looking for me?"
Meng Jiusi asked immediately: "Cheng Huai, I need your help with something."
"You say." Gu Chenghuai said calmly.
"Do you have any comrades in the capital?"
"Yes, we have a good relationship."
Meng Jiusi's eyes lit up, and he said a little embarrassedly, "I'm worried about my two children at home, so I want you to ask someone about it."
That's it.
Gu Chenghuai smiled and said, "Zhao Zhao told me about it. I was planning to ask someone about it."
Meng Jiusi was slightly stunned, "Did Zhao Zhao say that?"
"Yes, I said it early in the morning." Gu Chenghuai said.
What he didn't say was that Zhao Zhao also muttered a few words, seeming to be somewhat worried about the situation of his two nephews.
Meng Jiusi was indescribably moved.
Blinked violently.
His voice was a little hoarse due to the emotional ups and downs. "Thank you for your help."
"nothing."
Gu Chenghuai returned to the village and saw the educated youth leaving their home from afar.
He narrowed his narrow and cold eyes and walked quickly back home.
After arriving home, he looked at Lin Zhao and asked, "The educated youth came home?"
"Well, ask me to help carry things." Lin Zhao said.
She is a person who respects others as much as she can. If the educated youth help her politely, she will help.
Don't blame her for putting some educated youth who clearly wanted to take advantage of her on the blacklist.
Meng Xiaoying: “…” Just say my name.
"If you want to bring it, bring it. If you don't want to bring it, refuse it." Gu Chenghuai said.
Lin Zhao took out the things that her son's father was going to take to her mother-in-law's hometown and said, "I know, it's almost time, let's go."
Gu Chenghuai took the things and hung them on the front of the car, then pushed the car out.
After they left the village, Lin Zhao asked, "What did Fourth Brother want to talk to you about?"
"Please ask me to help find out the news about Jing Mo and Guang Bai." Gu Chenghuai said.
Lin Zhao quickly reacted and said with a smile: "My two nephews, one is called Meng Jingmo and the other is called Meng Guangbai?"
"Yes." Gu Chenghuai nodded.
"They seem to be all herbs?" Lin Zhao was not sure.
"Yes, Fourth Brother said that Grandpa Meng gave them this name."
Lin Zhao leaned her head against the man's back and smiled softly, "You are indeed a student of Chinese medicine."
"Then I'll ask you to find out about Xiao Mo and Xiao Bai."
Gu Chenghuai said gently, "It's a small matter."
"It's quite a bit, it hurts someone's feelings." Lin Zhao muttered, but it didn't matter. They would definitely go to the capital in the future and find a chance to repay the favor then.
"It's okay, I'll return it." Gu Chenghuai didn't care.
Their comrades are closer than brothers, so don't care about these things. To be shameless, he is very valuable, and his comrades are happy to have him owe them favors so that they can ask for it when they need it in the future.
Lin Zhao didn't respond.
She knew that Gu Chenghuai would go pick up Gu Qingzhou after he finished his phone call, and was afraid that he would not be able to pick her up after get off work, so she said, "Don't pick me up this afternoon, I will go back by myself, you stay at your uncle's house for a while, it's a rare opportunity to go there."
"Okay, you can take the ox cart back. It's too far and too hot. Don't get heatstroke." Gu Chenghuai was worried about his wife.
Zhao Zhao got off work at three o'clock, when it was hot.
Lin Zhao was puzzled, "The oxcarts were deployed today?"
The brigade next to the Fengshou Brigade had ox carts, but they were very precious and were rarely used except to pick up educated youth.
"Yeah." Gu Chenghuai replied.
"Okay, I'll take the bullock cart back."
Gu Chenghuai was relieved after arranging things for his wife. After a while, he said, "Let's go buy some popsicles after get off work."
"good."
Gu Chenghuai sent Lin Zhao to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, watched her go in, and turned to go to the post office.
Call your comrades in the capital.
Yun Jian was on vacation today. He had just gotten up and was about to go out to find food when he heard the phone ringing and answered it directly.
"where?"
Gu Chenghuai: "Gu Chenghuai."
"Chenghuai?" Yun Jian's happy voice reached Gu Chenghuai's eardrums through the phone line, "Did you receive the ping-pong balls? They are a specialty of the capital. Do your four kids like them? If they like them, I'll send them more."
Gu Chenghuai then realized that his comrade had sent something else. "I haven't received it yet. Thank you."
Yun Jian raised his eyebrows.
Didn’t receive? That means you have something to ask him.
"You got something important to talk to me about?"
Gu Chenghuai got straight to the point and said, "I'd like you to help me find out about two people."
"Address?" Yun Jian asked directly without any nonsense.
Gu Chenghuai spat out a string of addresses, as well as the names of Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai.
Yun Jian was afraid of making a mistake, so he took a pen and paper and wrote it down. His comrade repeated it to him, "Is that right?"
"Well, thank you for your help." Gu Chenghuai thanked him in a calm voice.
"You're welcome. I'll call you back tomorrow afternoon."
The two agreed on a time to talk on the phone again and then hung up.
Gu Chenghuai was not in a hurry to leave. He asked the post office worker if there was any package for him.
Liang Yi looked at the list and saw that it was indeed there. Then she looked at the address and it was Lin Zhao's home.
She glanced at the tall man and asked tentatively, "A relative of Comrade Lin Zhao?"
Gu Chenghuai liked the title of this female comrade. There was a barely perceptible tenderness in his eyes, and his voice became so cold when he mentioned Lin Zhao.
"Yes, I am Lin Zhao's lover."
Liang Yi raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a shallow dimple, "I heard Zhao Zhao talk about you, you two are really a perfect match."
As she spoke, she called out a number and another staff member went to the next room to pick up the package.
The people at the post office were so impressed by the large package that arrived from the capital that they were still guessing what was inside.
The target was clear and it was taken out quickly.
The man took out the package and put it on the counter. "Comrade, this is your package. Please sign the form."
Gu Chenghuai took a look and signed his name.
The handwriting is elegant and graceful, with continuous and swirling strokes like flowing clouds and running water, which is extremely beautiful.
Liang Yi subconsciously thought of Lin Zhao's handwriting, and a thought popped into her mind: Do good-looking people also have beautiful handwriting?
I feel so complicated inside.
Gu Chenghuai took the package, went to the supply and marketing cooperative, took the package in, and told Lin Zhao that it was sent by a comrade-in-arms.
Lin Zhao gained a new understanding of the comradeship between men.
"What is it?"
Gu Chenghuai said, "Little Stone's ping-pong balls, and some local specialties for the four kids. Give some to Yunjin and the others, and have them take you to the ox cart."
Song Yunjin:……?
Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing. Yun Jin was clearly arranged.
She agreed, "I know, go ahead."
Gu Chenghuai responded and then left.
After being busy for a while, Lin Zhao opened the package when she had some free time.
The first thing you see is a set of ping-pong rackets, and then a row of ping-pong balls packed into a cylinder.
Next came the greeting gifts for the four cubs.
Two boxes of animal crackers, a can of preserved fruit, a few bars of chocolate, a bag of rice krispie balls, a bag of dried meat, and four brightly colored small masks.
How generous! He is worthy of being the son of a high-ranking official in the capital.
Lin Zhao thought to herself.
Before she could make any further move, Song Yunjin came to bring her food.
"Sister, I'm here." Song Yunjin greeted and came to his sister's counter. When he saw the chocolates in the package, his eyes widened.
"Sister, chocolate?!!" He rubbed his eyes and looked again. The bars of chocolate were still there.
Lin Zhao took a plate of chocolate and stuffed it into his hand, saying with a smile, "Your brother-in-law's comrade-in-arms sent this to the four kids. I'll give you one plate."
"How can I accept what they gave me for my four children..."
Before Song Yunjin could finish his words, Lin Zhao interrupted him and said, "Your brother-in-law gave you a share. You have to be my coolie and help me carry the things to where the ox cart is parked."
Song Yunjin decisively accepted the chocolate, stood straight, saluted, and said seriously: "Don't worry, sister, I promise to send you to the ox cart."
Lin Zhao opened her lunch box and started eating.
"Sister, why did you put the money there yesterday? When my parents came back, they were shocked to see the huge stacks of banknotes stuffed in the crack of the sofa." Song Yunjin lowered his voice and looked furtive.
"I asked my uncle to help me renovate the yard, so I should have paid him. Otherwise, what kind of person would I be?" Lin Zhao pushed his face away, fearing that Yun Jin would spit on the food. "My parents gave me the money, saying it was for me to renovate the yard. They asked me to give it to my uncle. I am just a clerk, without a soul."
"..."
"Sister, you are really good at talking nonsense." Song Yunjin didn't believe it at all.
"You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, go back to the Dongfeng Brigade and ask your aunt." Lin Zhao refused to prove herself and let him go and ask himself.
"Okay, okay, I believe you." Song Yunjin said perfunctorily, muttering unconvincedly, "Even if we renovate the yard, it won't cost that much money."
"What do you know? I have many requirements. That money is the basic one. Your brother-in-law even said he would buy me a TV." Lin Zhao raised his chin slightly, very proud.
Song Yunjin's eyes widened, "Can my brother-in-law get the tickets?"
"I don't know about this, but your brother-in-law said he would find a way. He has many comrades-in-arms, so he should be able to get it if he asks around." Lin Zhao had great confidence in men. Since they got married, every word he said had been well-founded and every word had a basis.
Song Yunjin raised his eyebrows, his tone full of admiration, "Brother-in-law is awesome!"
His father has wanted to buy a TV for a long time, but he hasn't been able to get the ticket, and even if he has the money, he can't spend it.
Lin Zhao glared at him and joked, "If I remember correctly, you disliked your brother-in-law before?"
Song Yunjin raised his hands above his head, "I was wrong."
He said sullenly, "I was afraid that my brother-in-law would treat you badly before. Now that I know that he treats you well, I definitely have no ill intentions. Sister, can we just let this go?"
Lin Zhao laughed, "Okay, let's stop talking. Do you want some jerky?"
Song Yunjin licked his lips, didn't bother to be polite with his sister, and said with a grin, "Then... two?"
Lin Zhao gave him a bag of dried meat and said, "Take it yourself."
"Hey." Song Yunjin took two small ones and tasted the salty, spicy and fragrant meat. Her eyes lit up, "Sister, this meat jerky is delicious!"
Lin Zhao knew how to make dried meat, and said, "If you like it, I'll make it for you when I have time."
"Sister, you can also make dried meat?" Song Yunjin's face was full of surprise.
"Hehe." Lin Zhao was very arrogant.
There is nothing she can't do. For example, she is gifted in cooking.
-
capital.
Yun Jian had breakfast and took a car to the place Cheng Huai mentioned.
The affairs of the Meng family were no secret in the staff housing complex of the lighting factory, and he found out about the two brothers Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai with almost no effort.
"...What two poor little things." Yun Jian muttered to himself.
The old lady from the lamp factory was close to him. When she heard this, she nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't true? When the biological father of the two Meng children was still alive, they were the cleanest and most respectable children in our family building. Everyone liked them. Not long after Dr. Meng was taken away, the biological mother of the two children became confused!"
"I heard that Yuan Qin's family moved to Meng's house. The two boys were severely beaten last night. Their faces were covered with bruises. Their uncle said that the two boys fell. Tsk, he is fooling fools. The wounds were clearly caused by a slap. Do you think everyone is blind?"
The old lady couldn't help but feel sympathy for the two boys of the Meng family.
"Dr. Meng is a good person. What a pity."
She shook her head and said, "I used to think Yuan Qin was a good wife because she spoke softly and was friendly to everyone.
After Dr. Meng was arrested, we all wanted to destroy our own eyes. We really had misjudged him!
She is totally confused. If she were my second daughter-in-law, I would slap her a few times. It's so infuriating! "
Poor two kids.
She saw this morning that Jing Mo's face was red and swollen, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked like a different person.
Yun Jian wrote down everything, asked the old lady about where the two children might have gone, and left slowly.
The old lady didn't move for a while, looking at the respectable young man's back as he left, hoping that he could help the two children of the Meng family.
Dr. Meng is a good person, and those two children did nothing wrong.
