Yun Jian glanced at Meng Jingmo, his tone was cynical and teasing, "Are you scared now?"
"...I'm not afraid." Meng Jingmo said stubbornly, "I'm worried about my father."
Yun Jian sneered, "A little fellow who fell into the water and only his mouth could float."
"What does this mean?" Xiaobai looked confused.
Yun Jian laughed, "Your brother is just being stubborn."
"My brother is not a hard-mouthed person." Little Meng Guangbai said in a slightly louder voice, "My brother is the best brother, he has the softest mouth."
Meng Jingmo: “…”
He looked at the back of his brother's angry head and sighed, "Xiaobai is so stupid, what will he do without him?"
But with this interruption, the uneasiness and confusion in my heart were mostly dissipated.
“Ding ding ding—”
The train whistle blew.
They are here.
After getting off the car, the two Meng brothers pretended to be calm, but in fact they followed Yun Jian blankly, not making a single mistake.
Not long.
They saw a family and... a cute little monkey.
There are so many people in this family—this was the first impression of the Meng brothers.
Yun Jian's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Chenghuai. He took a big step forward, hugged him, patted his back a few times, and said in a clear and happy voice, "Chenghuai, long time no see."
Gu Chenghuai also patted him and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
Yun Jian let go of him and said, "Next time, I'm taking a temporary leave and I have to hurry back. I've already bought the return ticket and I have to leave soon."
The purpose of this trip is to do some serious business and to meet a good friend.
"Are these your four children?" He looked at them one by one, then looked at Lin Zhao. He clenched his fist and punched Gu Chenghuai's shoulder, saying with emotion, "What a blessing."
Gu Chenghuai remained silent with a smile in his eyes.
Yun Jian took out four red envelopes and gave them to the four children of the Gu family one by one.
"Here, this is a gift from me for you."
Thanks to his preparation, Yun Jian felt that he was as good as Zhuge Liang.
The four kids didn't take it, but looked at their father. Only after Gu Chenghuai nodded did they take it.
"Thank you..." Just as he was about to thank him, he was struggling with what to address him. Yu Bao glanced at Yun Jian, thought for a moment, and finally called him uncle, "Thank you, uncle."
Hengbao and the others shouted along with their brother.
"Thank you, uncle."
Yun Jian: "..."
"I'm not married yet, so you have to call me brother," he insisted.
Yubao raised his eyes, looked at the strange uncle strangely, and insisted: "Uncle."
Hengbao listened to his brother and said with a smile, "Uncle."
The twins also called him uncle.
Yun Jian pinched his eyebrows. The word "uncle" was giving him a headache.
The four kids from the Cheng Huai family are really hard to coax.
He looked at Gu Chenghuai, "What are your plans next? When will you go back?"
Gu Chenghuai didn't answer, but looked at Lin Zhao, "Where else do you want to go?"
Yun Jian just felt a toothache.
He didn't expect that his serious comrade-in-arms would behave like this in front of his wife.
"No." Lin Zhao shook her head.
I have bought everything I wanted. It would be a shame to delay any longer with so many children, so I might as well go back early.
Gu Chenghuai had no objection and said to Yun Jian, "No need to entertain you, let's go back directly."
Yun Jian rarely saw his old comrades, and he wanted to ask about the recent situation of many people. He looked at his watch and saw that there was still time, so he said, "I still have some time. I will take you to the car before leaving."
"Thank you." Gu Chenghuai knew that his comrades were worried because he was taking care of several children.
Although it was not so necessary, he would not refuse the kindness of his comrades.
Gu Chenghuai went to buy a few train tickets and looked at the departure time. The train would leave in about 40 minutes, so there was still plenty of time.
After making proper arrangements for Lin Zhao and the children, he and Yun Jian went to the guesthouse to pick up their luggage.
After the two left, Lin Zhao and six other children were left in a lounge at the train station.
"You are Jingmo, and you are Guangbai?" Lin Zhao pointed at Meng Jingmo and then at Meng Guangbai.
Xiaobai's eyes widened, as if he was a little surprised, and he spoke softly, "How do you know my brother's and my name?"
The two children of the Meng family have many characteristics of the Lin family, especially their eyes and eyebrows. After all, they grew up in the city, and their temperament seems to be well-educated and gentle.
"Guess what." Lin Zhao teased her nephew.
Xiaobai smiled shyly, "Did my dad say that? Auntie, can you take my brother and me to my dad's place?"
Aunt?
Lin Zhao smiled and shook her head, "I am your biological aunt, and your father is my biological brother. You should call me aunt."
"?"
Hearing this.
Meng Xiaobai's face was filled with confusion.
Meng Jingmo looked dazed.
Dear...aunt?
It was an ordinary afternoon, and Xiao Jingmo was so overwhelmed by the news that his head was spinning and his mind was in a mess. This situation continued until the two people who came back to pick up the luggage returned.
When Gu Chenghuai and Yun Jian came back, they were both smiling, and the slight strangeness they felt when they first met had completely disappeared.
"Sister-in-law, sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Yun Jian said embarrassedly.
Lin Zhao didn't care. "You haven't seen each other for a long time. Talk more."
Yun Jian smiled, "Sister-in-law is really considerate. Cheng Huai is so lucky."
Lin Zhao smiled reservedly.
As he was speaking, Yun Jian sent his comrade-in-arms and his family onto the train and did not stop until he had sent them to the carriage.
"Zhao Zhao, you stay in the carriage first. I'll take Yun Jian off the train and come back later." Gu Chenghuai said to Lin Zhao. Seeing his wife nod, he said to the twins, "Yu Bao, Heng Bao, watch over your brother and sister. Don't let them go out."
"Yes." Yubao responded seriously.
Gu Chenghuai and Yun Jian left and talked outside the carriage where Lin Zhao and the kids were. When the window was opened, two people who stood out from the crowd could be seen.
Meng Jingmo and his brother sat on the lower bunk bed. Their eyes followed Lin Zhao, moved to the four cubs, and then fell on the little golden monkey, their eyes stunned.
Is this really his aunt?
His dad, has a family?!
Later, Xiao Jingmo wrote a short essay in his diary.
[I was forced to grow up when I was six years old. My father, who loved me the most, suddenly passed away Xiaoxi. My mother let LaoLao's family move into my house and occupied our property. At that time, I knew that my brother and I had no home.
I promised my father that I would take good care of my younger brother. I knew if we stayed in that house, we would be beaten to death, so I took my younger brother to become a monk and live in a factory.
Just as I thought, the person I called mother did not come to see us on the first night. It was the hottest time of the year, but I felt very cold that night. I knew that I could no longer regard her as my closest person.
That day, a man came to see me and my brother. At first glance, I thought he looked like Jietouhunhun. He said he would treat me and my brother to a meal. I asked to see his work ID, and he agreed. It turned out that he was...
Afterwards, that person led my brother and I to leave the capital. I was very nervous along the way. I didn't know what the target would be for Xiaobai and me.
After getting off the train, I saw a lot of people, including my father, my mother, and... four little friends, and a very small and cute little pig...
When I was about to board the train to meet my father, I realized that the group of people in front of me might really be my aunt's family. (Because of my family's situation, no one would take the initiative to recognize my relatives)
I actually have an aunt???]
Young children don’t know many words, half of which are Chinese characters and half are pinyin, and there are also many typos.
After Gu Chenghuai got in the car, Lin Zhao saw that her nephew was still in a daze and didn't say a word, and she felt a little worried.
She nudged the man sitting next to her and asked quietly, "Is our new nephew okay?"
Don't scare the child.
If that's true, how can she explain it to her fourth brother?
"It's okay." Gu Chenghuai looked calm, "Fourth brother was confused when he first learned about our existence, let alone the children. We will be fine once they react."
Lin Zhao nodded.
Just as Gu Chenghuai said, not long after the train started, Meng Jingmo finally came to his senses.
"Are you our aunt? Our real aunt?" Meng Jingmo looked at Lin Zhao, trying to find some signs of lying on her face.
"Yes, if you still don't believe it... wait until you see your father and ask him yourself." Lin Zhao didn't try to prove it anymore.
Meng Jingmo wanted to know about his father's news, so he put aside the vigilance in his eyes and asked, "Is my father okay?"
"It's good, being with your grandfather," said Lin Zhao.
Meng Jingmo's eyes widened, his face full of surprise, "My grandpa is here too?"
It was not until this moment that Lin Zhao saw in him what a six-year-old child should be like.
She smiled with relief, "Yes, your grandfather is fine too."
Meng Jingmo was very happy.
Yubao and Hengbao understood what their mother said. These two children they had never seen before were their brothers just like Dadan and his friends.
The kind that flows with the same blood.
"Mom, why haven't I seen them before?" asked the long-mouthed Hengbao.
"Because your fourth uncle, Momo and Xiaobai's father, was stolen when Yaobao was still a child. Your grandparents searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him. Not only you, but I have never seen them before." Lin Zhao explained.
"Huh?" Heng Bao said in a strange voice, "We have a fourth uncle? Who is he?!"
Yubao also looked at his mother in confusion.
Lin Zhao knew that the twins were tight-lipped and never talked about family matters, so she spoke in a low voice, "Remember when you two drew pictures on your ears?"
The two children smiled embarrassedly.
Hengbao hugged Lin Zhao's arm and shook it, saying in a wavy tone, "Mom~~"
Don't mention the children's embarrassing moments.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "The man with the small leaf birthmark behind his ear at the foot of the mountain is your fourth uncle."
"He is mom's brother?" Yubao reacted quickly.
"Yes." Lin Zhao nodded.
She looked serious and said solemnly, "This matter must be kept secret. No one can know that your fourth uncle is your fourth uncle. Otherwise, all our belongings will be taken away and our whole family will be bullied. Remember?"
After that, he said to Meng Jingmo, "I have to take care of you secretly. It will be more beneficial if the relationship is not exposed."
Meng Jingmo understood, "I know."
Yubao nodded seriously and responded to his mother's words, "Mom, remember, I will take care of Hengbao... and his brothers and sisters."
The twins are less than two years old and can't speak fluently, so don't worry.
Only Hengbao, who talks too much, needs special care.
but.
Mom said he couldn’t tell anyone, but he remembered it.
"I won't tell you either." Heng Bao loudly proved himself, "I keep my mouth shut!"
"Mom believes in you." Lin Zhao flattered her son and coaxed him, "Besides your father, our family still depends on you two."
The two boys run around the village all day long and have a good relationship with the children in the village. She also wants the two brothers to be her "eyes". Telling them that Meng Jiusi is the fourth brother... the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
And even if they tell others, no one will believe it.
After hearing their mother's words, the twins straightened their heads and straightened their chests, feeling a sense of responsibility.
Hengbao is a little community guy who can chat with old men. He pulled Guangbai, who is younger than him, to talk, "Baibai, my mother is your aunt. I am older than you, so you should call me brother, right? My name is Gu Zhiheng, you should call me Brother Heng, just say it."
Xiao Bai was well protected by his brother, so he was defenseless against everyone and called out, "Brother Heng."
Jing Mo: “…”
Hengbao smiled happily, patted his new brother on the shoulder, and said to himself: "Don't worry, Brother Heng will protect you. Brother Heng has a lot of support in the team. No one dares to bully you when I'm here."
Lin Zhao listened to his bragging and just laughed without exposing him.
It’s not bragging, Hengbao really has a lot of support.
With the little golden monkey, it is easier to take care of the twins. The three little ones can lie together and play with their hands for a whole day.
Now she is lying on the lower bunk, giggling.
It's so cute that it melts people's hearts.
Xiao Bai chewed the back of his hand, hesitated again and again, and politely asked Yu Bao and Heng Bao for their opinions, "Can I play with Monkey Brother?"
"Of course." Yubao said generously, "We are a family, there is no need to be so formal. My aunt and I are not so formal."
A family... Xiaobai looked at him, lowered his head, and whispered, "Why did grandma and uncle beat me and my brother?"
Lin Zhao's smiling eyes flashed with coldness, but her voice was gentle, "Did the Yuan family beat you again?"
She thought that the Yuan family would at most refuse to give their two nephews food, but she didn't expect that they would dare to beat people!
"Beating." Xiaobai thought of his brother and himself being beaten, and his little body trembled with fear. "Grandma hit my brother in the face and pinched us. Brother Jinbao made us pick up steamed buns from the ground to eat. I was so scared."
Seeing her nephew's shoulders shaking as he cried, Lin Zhao felt so distressed that she hugged Xiaobai and patted his back gently.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Your brother brought you out. With your aunt here, no one will dare to hit you in the future."
Damn Yuan family!
By the time she goes to the capital, that family will be dead!
Xiaobai nestled in Lin Zhao's arms, thinking of her mother, she felt even sadder. Then she remembered her brother's words and just sobbed without saying anything.
Jing Mo's eyes also turned red. He glanced out the window and sniffed.
After taking the train, I took the bus.
After returning home, Lin Zhao thought to herself that she could no longer travel with so many children. It was really tiring.
"Zhao Zhao!"
Lin Zhao looked over and saw Lin Shichang, "Brother! Why are you here?"
Gu Chenghuai explained: "I sent a telegram."
There are many children and the county is far away from the brigade. Besides, the Lin family doesn’t know what to do with Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai next.
Lin Shichang ran over and paused slightly when his eyes fell on the Meng brothers. Are these Xiao Si's two sons and his two nephews?
Afraid that the two children would feel uncomfortable, he casually looked away.
"I'm back. Did you have a smooth journey?" he said something nonsense.
As he was talking, Yubao came jumping in front of him with the little golden monkey on his head.
"Uncle, look at me!" The child shook his head, showing off his new friend.
Lin Shichang was shocked. "Is this... a little golden monkey?"
"Where did you get it?"
Gu Chenghuai said, "It was from the provincial capital circus, and somehow it fell into our hands."
Lin Shichang: "The four kids must be so happy."
He was responded by four happy smiling faces.
The group walked towards the state-owned hotel, and Lin Zhao introduced Lin Shichang to the Meng brothers.
"Momo, Xiaobai, this is your father's eldest brother, and also your uncle."
Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai obediently called out, "Uncle."
Lin Shichang gave his two nephews red envelopes and said, "Let's go eat first. After dinner, I'll take you back to the Fengshou Brigade."
