All the adults and children in the Gu family received gifts. No matter what they received, they all grinned with joy.
They are so happy today!
I always smile in my dreams at night.
Lin Zhao and her family did not stay long. After delivering the gifts, they returned to the bridal chamber.
On the road, Dahuang and Amber led the way.
Hengbao skipped forward, humming a song with a loud voice that made everyone who heard him smile.
What a lively Gu Erzai.
Too much joy can lead to sorrow. Hengbao stepped on a small stone, and his little body, which had grown flesh, tilted to one side and he almost fell to the ground.
Gu Chenghuai quickly pulled him aside and scolded him harshly, "Walk properly."
The volume was a little louder, and Hengbao was confused for a moment, but he quickly reacted, his face tense, "...Speak nicely, why are you so fierce?"
Gu Chenghuai raised his eyebrows and looked down at him, "I said it nicely, did you listen?"
Hengbao felt guilty and his eyes kept rolling around.
"That, too, you shouldn't be mean to children."
He also said, "Mom said that if children are scolded, they will be timid. Dad, do you know what timid means? It means not generous."
Gu Chenghuai was speechless.
He was also an educated man and knew what it meant to be timid, so there was no need for such a considerate explanation.
Gu Zhiheng was really his nemesis, he could get angry with him eight hundred times a day.
He ignored the chatterbox and walked forward, leading Lin Zhao.
Yubao and Libao covered their mouths and laughed, and the twins stretched out their short legs to chase the two dogs at home.
Listening to the conversation between the father and son, Lin Zhao tried so hard to hold back her laughter that her stomach ached.
She didn't intervene.
Gu Chenghuai thought of the smiling faces of his family members just now, turned his head to look at his wife, his eyes were particularly gentle, "Zhao Zhao, thank you."
"Hmm?" Lin Zhao stopped smiling and looked puzzled.
Gu Chenghuai's broad, calloused hands tightened slightly, and his deep voice softened, "Father and mother are very happy."
Lin Zhao understood what he was talking about and looked at him with a smile, "It's your money that's being spent."
Gu Chenghuai said nothing more.
no the same.
Zhao Zhao means having intention.
It's not like he hasn't seen shrewd and calculating people before. The son obviously earned a lot and handed all his salary over to his wife, letting her manage the household. However, the daughter-in-law only earned money and never spent it. She never even sent an egg to her in-laws' house. Even when the mother-in-law sent a telegram for help, he pretended not to know.
…
While eating, the twins discovered that the rice in their mother's bowl was different from theirs. Hers seemed to be noodles with an egg on top. The two children had their mouths filled with cold noodles and looked blank.
Noticing the two boys' gazes, Lin Zhao smiled at them.
"Today is my birthday. This is the longevity noodles your father made for the birthday boy. There is no portion for you."
Hengbao was quick to ask, "Mom, when is my birthday?"
"Two more months." Lin Zhao's birthday was in August and the twins' birthday was in November.
"What about Qianbao and Yaobao?" Hengbao interrupted Yubao. When the eldest brother's child puffed up his cheeks, he did not blame his younger brother for being quick-talking, but felt that he was too slow.
“They’re from February.”
Hengbao's mouth was full of sauce, and he looked like a little old man. "Mom, did we have longevity noodles for birthdays before?"
He smiled foolishly, "I don't even remember."
Lin Zhao looked at her son's smiling face and suddenly felt sad.
It’s not that he doesn’t remember, it’s just that... it never happened!
I feel a bitter feeling in my heart after a long time.
Her eyes were gentle as she promised, "Next time you have a birthday, Mom will make you lots of delicious food, prepare the birthday gifts you want, and then invite your good friends to come home and celebrate with you in a lively way."
call out.
The two children raised their heads and their eyes seemed to be suddenly lit up.
As bright as a night star.
"Okay." Yubao's voice was soft.
Hengbao smiled broadly, "Sure, I have a lot of good friends."
He said with his arms wide open.
Every strand of hair is filled with joy.
Lin Zhao: "Please come all of them."
Hengbao wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by his father: "Stop asking so many questions, let your mother eat the longevity noodles first."
Gu Chenghuai looked at Lin Zhao with a wide smile, "Zhao Zhao, eat the noodles quickly. Eat them all in one bite, don't bite them off."
He is a determined soldier who believes in his motherland and his people and does not believe in God.
Gu Chenghuai never takes Zhao Zhao lightly.
Lin Zhao narrowed her eyes, "Didn't you say... this is superstition, don't you believe it?"
Gu Chenghuai was very calm, his handsome face remained unchanged, "This does not conflict with my beliefs."
"I want peace of mind," he emphasized.
After meeting Zhaozhao, his birthday wish every year is to grow old with his wife.
Lin Zhao took Gu Chenghuai's hand, grasped it in her soft palm, traced the thin calluses on his fingers with her fingertips, took a bite of the poached egg, and picked up the noodles to eat.
Gu Chenghuai's jaw was tense, but his face remained calm and composed. "How does it taste? Do you like it?"
Lin Zhao chewed the noodles without answering, her eyes slightly lit up and she nodded at the man.
It’s delicious.
Her husband is good at all kinds of work and can make a fortune by selling noodles.
Gu Chenghuai could see Zhao Zhao's emotions from her eyes, and a faint smile flashed across his deep black eyes.
There was not much noodle in a bowl, so Lin Zhao finished it quickly and drank the noodle soup, which was equally delicious.
"Not bad," she praised, "It's just as delicious as the ones I grew up eating."
It made up for the regret of not having eaten longevity noodles this year.
After dinner.
Yubao and the other little ones returned to the children's room.
Libao was playing with the twins, a boy and a girl. Yubao opened his drawer, reached in with his little hand, took out something red, and looked at Hengbao. The two little brothers grinned with their eyes shining.
"Shh..." Yu Bao gestured to his brother to speak in a lower voice, and also to remind himself to be quiet.
Hengbao covered his mouth.
He tiptoed towards the door, lifted the clean bamboo curtain, and looked out of the yard stealthily.
Seeing his parents talking in the kitchen, Hengbao turned to look at his brother, "Brother, let's go!"
The words fell.
She lifted the bamboo curtain, jumped out like a little rabbit, and slipped into Lin Zhao and Gu Chenghuai's room.
Yubao didn't hesitate and followed closely.
Libao pretended not to see this scene.
Outside the courtyard, two small figures slipped away too quickly, their backs filled with guilt and panic. Lin Zhao didn't turn his head, but he saw them out of the corner of his eye.
She nudged Gu Chenghuai with her elbow.
"What's going on with Yubao and Hengbao? They look weird. Are they secretly doing something big?"
Gu Chenghuai's eyes were so sharp, he knew what those two guys were doing.
His eyes were soft.
"You'll find out when you get back home."
Lin Zhao looked at her husband, but could not see anything. "He is so mysterious."
Unable to suppress his curiosity, he left the kitchen and went back to the house.
A muffled laugh escaped from Gu Chenghuai's throat.
So cute.
Lin Zhao walked lightly, stopped at the door, and pulled open the bamboo curtain with two fingers.
The two children who look very similar are facing the door with their heads close together, talking in low voices. Hengbao cried loudly when he was born, and his voice became loud after he learned to speak, always giving people a feeling of vitality.
At this moment, even though he tried to lower his voice, a few words still reached Lin Zhao's ears.
"……Tibetan……"
"turn up……"
"...Things..."
Lin Zhao: What are you talking about? I don’t understand.
She retracted her eyes, cleared her throat, reminded the two kids in the room that she was at the door, and then reached out and knocked.
Knock knock.
Lin Zhao didn't notice that the twins' bodies suddenly stiffened and turned around as if in slow motion.
Not seeing her, the two brothers patted their chests at the same time.
Almost exposed!!
Yu Bao reacted first. He walked towards the door, lifted the bamboo curtain, and saw a flash of guilt in Lin Zhao's eyes, and then he smiled.
"Mom, Hengbao and I are here to take a look at this room."
Hearing his brother's words, Hengbao put his hands behind his back, looked around, and said, "Yes, my brother and I don't know...what Mom and Dad's room looks like. Let's take a look."
Lin Zhao looked at her two sons who were pretending to be calm. She was almost laughing like crazy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Really? Have you finished watching it? If not, can I introduce it to you?" There was a hint of mischief in her eyes.
Hengbao was very good at taking advantage of the situation and was not in a hurry to get out. "Okay, okay."
He sat comfortably on the stool, his clear eyes constantly scanning the same place.
Lin Zhao followed Er'er's gaze. Drawer?
Did they put anything in the drawer?
Yu Bao held his mother's hand and sat next to Lin Zhao in a well-behaved posture. He looked at the bright window with shining eyes.
"Mom, our windows are so bright!"
Lin Zhao smiled.
Children all know that big windows are good.
"It's bright and comfortable to live in." She also likes the big window.
"If you want to practice calligraphy in the future, you can practice in the house. I'll buy some cotton and make a soft cushion for you. Tie it to the stool so your butt won't hurt when you sit on it."
Yubao asked, "Does mom have it?"
"Yes, one for each of us." Lin Zhao was not the kind of person who loved children but made herself suffer. She was an extreme hedonist. She could make do without any conditions, and would definitely make herself live comfortably if she had the conditions.
"Okay." Yubao smiled happily.
Gu Chenghuai heard the conversation between the mother and son outside the door. He walked into the house, took a towel to wipe his hands, and said casually, "Zhao Zhao, the sewing machine will arrive tomorrow."
Lin Zhao was surprised. "Really? So sudden!"
"It's not sudden." Gu Chenghuai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's been more than a week, it's time."
"Ask Comrade Yang for help?" Lin Zhao's eyes moved slightly.
Gu Chenghuai shook his head, "I bought it."
Lin Zhao didn't ask how much it cost. Sewing plane tickets was not cheap and difficult to get. This person must have spent all his pocket money.
"You know where the money is. You need to get it yourself."
Gu Chenghuai: "Okay."
There will be a sewing machine tomorrow! The patterned fabric I bought can be put to use! Lin Zhao was very happy.
I haven't used needlework for a long time, and I really miss it.
She kneaded Yubao's face and said, "Bao, when the sewing machine arrives, I will sew a pencil case for each of you, the kind with embroidery. What do you like? I can sew it for you, even small animals are fine."
I originally planned to buy it directly. The pencil cases in the state-owned stores in the provincial capital were very ordinary, and the twins didn't even stop to look at them, so I didn't spend the money.
Yubao let his mother rub him, with his little face tilted up, and was as obedient as possible.
"I want Amber, is that okay?"
Lin Zhao was curious, "Why don't you want Xiao Jin?"
"Amber, come to our house first." Yu Bao said without thinking.
"I didn't expect Yubao to be such a sentimental child." Lin Zhao hugged her son, her eyes full of smiles.
Yubao knew his mother was praising him, and he was very happy. After a moment, he blinked and asked, "What is affection?"
"Love means..." Lin Zhao explained softly, "not getting tired of the old and liking the new. For example, even though Xiao Jin is more adorable, he still remembers Da Huang and Amber."
Gu Chenghuai: It’s up to him on that point.
"I will not forget Dahuang and Amber. They are also part of our family. My brother, sister and I will grow up with them." Yu Bao said solemnly with a serious face.
Lin Zhao patted his head and said, "Great."
"What pattern does Hengbao want?"
Hengbao's eyes turned, "I want a photo of our whole family! Is that okay?"
Gu Chenghuai's eyes were complicated.
What a weird request.
Lin Zhao also felt it was strange, "No, think of another one, this is too high-profile."
Not wanting to disappoint Heng Bao, she came up with an idea, "I can make a pillow with the whole family on it. You can play with it in the room and don't take it out. Is that okay?"
Of course she wouldn't really put their whole family on it. It's okay to draw little figures. They're just a family. It just needs to look similar.
"…Is it the same as Yaobao's doll?" Hengbao frowned. In his heart, he was a little man and didn't want to play with his sister's toys.
"It's different. With a pillow, you can hug it or lean on it. For example, when you are writing or reading... you can put it behind your waist. It will be much more comfortable." Lin Zhao gestured to the size and explained to her son carefully.
Hengbao had a rough idea in his mind and thought it was okay. "I want it."
Lin Zhao agreed, "I'll start when the weather cools down."
This is very hedonistic and does not conform to the current theme. Gu Chenghuai himself is very frugal, but he will not force his wife and children to do so.
He didn't believe that anyone would not want to live a comfortable life.
If you have the conditions to live a good life, why not?
In her own home, Zhao Zhao can do whatever she wants.
Gu is a famous surname in Fengshou Brigade. It used to be called Gujia Village. There are many conflicts here. But if someone comes to cause trouble? They will definitely come in vertically and leave horizontally.
Hengbao wanted his mother to see the little surprise they had sent as soon as possible, so he pulled his brother out, walked to the door, turned around, and said, "Mom, do you want to wash your face? I'll get you some water."
He appears casual and calm, but his body is actually tense.
Yu Bao also held his breath, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his dark eyes.
It's so obvious, her baby.
Lin Zhao pretended not to notice anything, "...Sure!"
After the two kids left, she smiled crookedly in Gu Chenghuai's arms, "Your sons' acting skills are so bad, you teach them, it's so easy to understand."
Gu Chenghuai put his arm around his wife's waist and narrowed his cold black eyes. "You have to teach her well."
Lin Zhao was joking, but she didn't expect this person to take it seriously.
She looked at the man, "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Gu Chenghuai felt that five years old was not young anymore and there were some things he should be taught. How could he protect their mother if he was so silly?
This is the biological father of the cubs. No matter what he does, he will not harm the four cubs. Lin Zhao did not intervene. "You decide."
Gu Chenghuai skipped the topic and glanced at the drawer, "Aren't you curious about what your son put there?"
"Don't worry, you'll know sooner or later." Lin Zhao said this, but in fact she was curious. She was afraid that when she was turning over the bed, the two cubs would come in, and she would lose her dignity as a mother.
After a while, Lin Zhao went out of the house to wash her face.
Yu Baoheng couldn't suppress the smile on his face, like a little mouse that had stolen oil, his expression showing that he had done something was too obvious, but the two of them didn't realize it and thought they were hiding it well.
Lin Zhao: “…”
What a silly kid.
She returned to the house, opened the drawer to take out the face cream, and saw a strange object on the cream lid.
——A dark red camellia square scarf.
"This..." Lin Zhao was surprised. She guessed that her twin sons had prepared a little surprise for her, but she didn't expect it to be such a surprise.
It's not just a few candies or small fruits, it's a serious gift.
"Where did they get it?" Lin Zhao covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of light.
"They bought it in the provincial capital. They spent all their money and even borrowed some from me." What Gu Chenghuai didn't say was that in order to buy this gift, his two sons signed an unequal treaty with several items.
