Compared with Yuan Qin, Guangbai is closer to his father. When he heard what his brother said, the little guy was so scared that he shook his head like a rattle.
"don't want!"
"I don't want my dad to be beaten!"
"Being beaten hurts, no! I don't want my mom to be with us anymore!"
The child's tone was anxious and flustered.
The elder brother quickly comforted Xiaobai, "Okay, don't mention them in front of dad anymore, okay?"
Jing Mo was older and knew the situation of those who were taken away. Some of them were better off cleaning toilets, but his father must have had a harder time when he was sent away.
All I can say is that children without a father’s protection grow up at an astonishing rate.
"Well, I won't tell you." Xiaobai nodded seriously.
Yun Jian looked at the Meng brothers lazily without urging them. He didn't know when they would come back after they left, so he took a few more glances at them.
Jing Mo looked at Yun Jian.
"Uncle Yun, let's go."
Yun Jian sighed, walked in front and led the way, his eyes falling on them from time to time.
"Aren't you two afraid that I'm a bad guy?"
"Don't be afraid." Jing Mo said without thinking.
He had observed Uncle Yun. The watch on his wrist must have cost more than a hundred yuan. The clothes he wore looked low-key and ordinary, but in fact the fabric was very good. He also wore leather shoes on his feet.
Even if he and his brother were sold, they couldn't buy this outfit.
This person is not short of money.
Yun Jian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You have good taste. Brother Yun, I don't need those two dates."
"I will send you two to the provincial capital of Province X, where you will meet my old comrade, who will send you to your father."
Jing Mo blinked and looked at him suspiciously, "...You were a soldier before?"
"What?" Yun Jian glanced at the little brat, "Not like?"
"…Not really." Jing Mo denied.
It's just... it looks a bit like a gangster turning over a new leaf.
Yun Jian's job is special and he often has to travel all over the country. He takes the train more often than some people ride a bicycle.
He took the Meng brothers onto the train with familiarity.
Young Master Yun, who comes from a good family, never sits on a hard seat. He booked three sleeper berths!
As soon as he got in the car, he lay down.
"Those two beds are for the two of you. You can lie down if you want, or sit if you don't want to. It's best not to leave the car, or you might get knocked unconscious and abducted."
"I will look after Xiaobai." Jing Mo didn't want to trouble Yun Jian any more.
Xiao Bai said in a soft voice, "I'm following my brother and I'm not going anywhere."
Yun Jian: What if you want to poop?
"If you need to go to the bathroom, tell me and I'll take you there."
Jing Mo thanked him politely, "Thank you, Uncle Yun."
Feeling no longer threatened, the thorns on his body softened and stuck to his skin, revealing his cultured side.
Yun Jian didn't hate Meng Jingmo, he even looked at him with a different eye. This little brat had a lot of potential and was smart.
"Beep, beep!" the whistle sounded.
The train starts moving.
The Meng brothers moved closer to the window, looked out, watched the train leave the platform, and clearly felt... that they were leaving.
"Brother, the train has started." Xiaobai hugged his brother's arm, feeling uneasy belatedly.
"Don't be afraid, we are going to find dad, and he is waiting for us." Jing Mo comforted his younger brother.
When Xiaobai heard his brother talking about his father, he clenched his hands and his face was full of anticipation.
Jing Mo watched the platform recede and gradually turn into a small dot before he slowly withdrew his gaze.
He will be back.
When he comes back, the Yuan family...
The young boy, who still had a childish face, had a gloomy look in his dark eyes.
-
After finishing their meal, Lin Zhao and her family also boarded the train.
The sleeper berth was not that crowded. There were four beds and someone was already inside.
She was a young woman with clear eyes and a gentle temperament. She brought with her a pretty little girl, who was probably about three years old and looked very cute.
"Mom, I want to sleep on top." Hengbao said as soon as he entered.
Gu Chenghuai put away his luggage and said casually, "You and your brother will share a bed, you two can discuss it."
The twins are still young, so he is the one taking care of them.
Zhao Zhao was not feeling well and slept in a bed alone.
Hengbao looked at Yubao with anticipation.
Yubao looked at the upper bunk, then at the lower bunk, and nodded, "Okay, sleep on the top bunk."
He had never slept that high before.
There was a bed on the lower berth that Gu Chenghuai had bought. Lin Zhao sat down unceremoniously and said to the twins, "You can go up when you want to lie down. Sit down below first."
The two kids took off their shoes, climbed onto the bed and touched the window.
Hengbao touched the window and pushed it upwards, and the window went up.
A gust of warm wind blew across my face.
"There's wind!" Hengbao shouted, trying to stretch his body out.
Lin Zhao reached out and pulled the overly active boy back, then slapped him on the butt twice.
"Stop being naughty!" She said with a serious face, pretending to be angry, "What if you fall down? If you continue to be naughty like this, I won't take you with me next time."
Hengbao covered his buttocks, looking shy and embarrassed.
He wanted to be angry but knew he was wrong, so he moved his mouth and finally turned around, facing the car wall, and gave Lin Zhao a puffy slap on the back of his head.
His mother spanked him in front of his older brother and younger siblings, and he lost all his dignity!
Lin Zhao ignored him, took out the enamel pot, added some sugar to it, and gave it to Gu Chenghuai, "Get some hot water."
Gu Chenghuai glanced at Hengbao, took the enamel pot and left.
Yubao poked the sulking Hengbao on the shoulder.
"Are you quarreling with your mother?"
Hengbao looked at his mother quietly, his bright black eyes full of resentment.
Lin Zhao laughed.
He is so young, yet he is very proud.
Yubao pulled his brother to sit down, crossed his legs and looked at him. His voice was childish but revealed a serious tone, "You are wrong."
Hengbao opened his eyes wide, his face full of grievance.
"Before we came out, didn't you promise Mom and Dad that you would listen to them? You tried to climb out of the window without asking. What if you climbed up and the train started moving and you didn't hold on tightly and fell out?" Yu Bao reasoned with his brother, "I wanted to beat you when you climbed out the window just now."
Hengbao subconsciously covered his butt.
He looked at his brother in disbelief.
Facing my brother's serious face.
The child picked his fingers, feeling a little helpless.
After a moment.
Hengbao couldn't stand his brother's death gaze, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, hit my palm."
Yu Bao didn't hit him, he just asked: "Do you know you are wrong?"
Hengbao nodded his head rapidly, "I know, I know."
"Forget it this time, but if it happens again, I'll spank you," Yu Bao threatened.
Hengbao blushed and said uncomfortably, "...I won't do it again."
"You just got mad at your mother. You need to admit your mistake."
Hengbao listened to his brother the most. He moved his knees shyly and rubbed against his mother. He looked at Lin Zhao's expression, pulled her clothes with his hands, and his loud voice became softer, "Mom, I'm not angry with you, I just..."
His face turned red and he whispered, "I'm a grown-up now, and I feel ashamed when my mother... spanks me on the butt."
Lin Zhao laughed and hugged Hengbao, "It was my fault, I won't do it again. It's rare that Hengbao is not angry, what a generous child."
Hengbao was easy to coax. He buried his head in his mother's arms, arched his back, and said with a mouth that looked like it was stained with honey, "Mom is also a generous mother."
Thinking of the mother of the little girl who vomited while riding in the bus, little Gu Zhiheng felt that his own mother was a good one even more.
Even if, even if his mother spanked him, he was the one who made the mistake first.
I understand.
The train beeped a few times and started moving.
Since we are all in the same carriage, it is inevitable that we will say a few words to each other.
Lin Zhao found out that the woman in the same carriage wanted to take her daughter with her to join the army. The little girl had never seen her father since she was a child. The soldier still had a conscience. As soon as he got a house, he sent a telegram to his wife in his hometown, asking her to bring the child over and he would pick them up at the train station.
When the woman learned that Lin Zhao had four children, a pair of twins and a boy and a girl, her face was filled with surprise and a hint of envy.
"Two pregnancies, four babies. That's great."
Lin Zhao smiled.
She wasn't surprised that the other party would say that.
No one in the Fengshou Brigade, and even in the neighboring brigade, did not envy her.
There is no way around it. These days people value having many children, so people would love to have seven or eight children.
"The quality of children is more important than the number," Lin Zhao said.
Gu Chenghuai agreed.
However, all of his and Zhao Zhao's children are smart.
The provincial capital is not far away. It only takes a short trip to get there in the afternoon.
A family of six got off the train and walked straight to the guesthouse.
Booked a room.
Open the door and enter the room.
There are two beds and a bathroom inside.
The room was slightly dark. Gu Chenghuai pulled the light cord and the light in the room came on.
"Dad, is this a light? Can I turn it on?" Hengbao was very curious, but he didn't pull it rashly. Instead, he asked his father for his opinion.
"pull."
Hengbao smiled with his eyes curved, and stood on tiptoe to pull the light cord.
Click, the lights went out.
He pulled it again, and it lit up again.
"Electric lights are great." Hengbao's tone was full of envy.
Yu Bao looked up at the light bulb on the roof, his eyes sparkling, "It's great to have electricity."
Lin Zhao put her arm around her son's shoulders, led them into the house, and said with a smile, "When our house in the city is renovated, every room will have electric lights, even the toilet."
Yubao clapped his hands happily, "The toilet needs bright lights. I used to go to the toilet in the dark and my feet would fall into the pit."
Lin Zhao: ...Today is the day of the big boy.
"Our brigade will soon have electricity, before the New Year."
The twins were even happier.
The guesthouse faced the street and their room was on the third floor. Lin Zhao drew aside the curtains and opened the window, letting in the sunlight. There were people passing by on the street and it was very lively.
Heng Bao pulled Lin Zhao's skirt and said coquettishly, "Mom, hold me, I want to see."
Lin Zhao fulfilled her son's little wish and picked him up.
Gu Chenghuai saw his eldest son's expectant expression and picked him up with one hand. Yu Bao smiled happily.
"There are so many people." Hengbao exclaimed.
"If this weren't the provincial capital, there would definitely be a lot of people." Lin Zhao ruffled her son's hair, put Hengbao down without delay, and said, "You're all sticky, take a shower first, and then I'll take you to the state-owned stores."
"Is it the same as the supply and marketing cooperative?" Yu Bao asked.
Gu Chenghuai replied: "It's bigger than the supply and marketing cooperative."
The twins became excited, opened their luggage, found their clothes, held them in their arms, and looked up at their parents.
"Where do we go to take a shower?" Yu Bao asked on his behalf.
Gu Chenghuai said nothing and took his two sons to the bathroom to take a bath.
Not long.
"Wow, it's hot water! How convenient! Dad, can we have a toilet like this at home?" Hengbao's loud and cheerful voice came out.
"Don't move."
This was followed by Dad’s steady voice.
Lin Zhao smiled and said to the twins, "Let's wait until the brothers are done washing, then we'll wash."
Qian Bao nodded.
Yaobao was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling with her black pearl-like eyes, then turning her head to look at the wall, looking well-behaved and lovable.
After washing up, the family went to the state-owned store.
The state-owned store in the provincial capital is quite grand, with three floors, many counters and sales clerks.
The four kids couldn’t keep up with it.
Lin Zhao saw the ready-made clothes hanging behind the counter and walked over there with the twins, while Gu Chenghuai followed with the twins in his arms.
"Comrade, do you have a larger size for the yellow floral blouse?" Lin Zhao asked the young salesperson at the counter.
The sales clerks see a lot of people, and they can tell at a glance who can afford it and who can't.
The family in front of me... should be a family. The men are fine, but the lesbian looks too young, and they have already given birth to four children.
The family was neatly dressed, had fair skin, and were confident and calm. They looked like they had plenty of money.
"Yes. But if you size up a size, you won't be able to wear it." The salesperson reminded in a friendly manner.
This one is for little girls. It’s not cheap, so not many people buy it.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you, comrade. I plan to give it to my younger generation at home."
The salesperson said nothing more and found a larger size.
Lin Zhao took a quick look at the clothes. They were fine and the size was about right. She said, "I want it."
I saw some red and white checkered fabrics and blue fabrics with white flowers, so I bought a lot of them to make clothes and bed sheets for the children.
It's a rare opportunity to come here.
Gu Chenghuai paid the money and tickets from behind without saying a word.
The children were not interested in the cloth, but they were very excited when they came to the candy counter.
"Mom, there are so many candies!" Hengbao said with a smile.
"What do you want? You and your brother can each choose two," Lin Zhao said generously.
Since she brought the children to the mall, she didn't intend to be stingy and let the children go home disappointed.
Hengbao happily discussed the matter with his brother.
While they were whispering, Lin Zhao saw some tea and bought two cans of it.
"Yubao, Hengbao, here is an abacus, do you two want one?"
The two cubs came running over, and when they saw the abacus, they remembered the small golden abacus they had picked up, and they were delighted.
"want!"
Lin Zhao said, "Then buy four."
As expected of a provincial capital, this abacus is much more delicate and smaller than the ones in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and is just right for children to use.
Yubao looked up and said, "Thank you, Mom."
He clenched his fists and said, "I will study abacus well and win first place in the competition."
"Are you talking about the abacus competition? Who told you about it?" Lin Zhao was a little curious.
"Brother Xingci said so. He participated in it." Yu Bao explained.
I didn’t tell the adults about it, so I guess I failed halfway.
Lin Zhao encouraged her son, "I believe in you. Study hard in school and try to fight your way to the provincial capital."
Let’s not talk about the national level for now, let’s set small goals at the provincial and municipal levels first.
Yubao nodded seriously.
I bought four abacuses and each of the four kids took one. They were so happy.
After buying some other things, the family of six left with a reluctant audience.
Gu Chenghuai said in a gentle voice, "If you don't have enough fun, come back tomorrow."
Lin Zhao thought so too.
The family put their belongings back at the guesthouse, found a restaurant to eat, and then went to the movies.
The cinemas in the provincial capital are also bigger than those in small places. There are people selling melon seeds and soda at the entrance, which is very convenient.
only……
The current social environment was not good, and Lin Zhao's family witnessed the inhumane fighting scenes.
She and Gu Chenghuai immediately covered the eyes of the twins and quickly took Yu Bao and Heng Bao into the cinema.
Unexpectedly, the twins saw the scene clearly, and their faces turned pale with fright.
"Dad..." Yu Bao tightly grasped Gu Chenghuai's clothes, his voice panicked, "What are those people doing?"
