"Shh, stop barking, you'll wake up Qianbao and Yaobao." Yubao hissed at the dog.
Amber stopped barking and just wagged her tail, circling around the bed.
Dahuang was squatting at the door. He came in with only one purpose, to wake up the twins.
Yubao and Hengbao put on their clothes, helped each other to straighten their collars and sleeves, and put on their white shoes.
Yubao bent down and picked up Amber, calling Hengbao to go out of the house. Dahuang followed closely behind, not forgetting to use his claws to pry at the door to close it.
Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing when she saw the twins' shoelaces were crooked and loose.
Squat down and adjust it for them.
"It's been so long, and you still can't tie your shoelaces."
Yubao stretched out his right foot, stared at his mother's smiling face, and laughed along with her.
"Yes," he said in a soft, brisk voice. "But we can't tie it well. We'll be able to tie it well when we're six."
Lin Zhao glanced at him and nodded, "Yes, when you grow up a year, you'll be able to tie it even better. You're already very good now."
Yubao smiled brightly.
Lin Zhao tied the shoelaces for the two boys, told them to wash up, and went to pack their things.
"Where's my uncle?" Hengbao was brushing his teeth and found that he didn't see his uncle Yunjin, so he asked.
"I went to buy breakfast." Lin Zhao replied.
"What?" Hengbao's eyes brightened.
"Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk."
"I like them all!" Hengbao said with a smile and continued brushing his teeth.
Lin Zhao: "Then eat some of everything."
"Hmm." Hengbao nodded heavily with a serious expression.
As he was speaking, Song Yunjin pushed the door open and came in.
Seeing the twins brushing their teeth, she called out, "Yubao and Hengbao, wake up! Why are you so well behaved today? You didn't even let me rock you."
Yubao wouldn't tell him that he had told his brother last night not to stay in bed. Mom would take time off to go to school in the morning, so they had to behave well and not make Mom angry.
Hengbao said, "My brother and I have grown up another day. We plan to never stay in bed late again."
"Oh, really?" Song Yunjin put down the breakfast she had bought, picked up the buns and started eating, looking at the two kids mischievously.
"Really? Even a child knows that a promise is worth a thousand gold." Hengbao puffed out his chest and raised his head.
Song Yunjin laughed heartily, "You have to persevere. You can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days."
Hengbao wiped his hands and face, trotted over, and took a sip of soy milk first.
He didn't understand the meaning of "fish for three days and dry the net for two days", but he was smart and vaguely understood the general idea.
"No way! Daddy said my brother and I are the most persevering kids!"
Song Yunjin was anxious to go to school, so she quickly finished the bun in her hand, went into the house to get her schoolbag, and said with a smile, "Okay, the most persistent kid!"
He found that his four children were particularly cute when they said they were...something kids.
Song Yunjin put on her schoolbag and said to Lin Zhao, "Sister, I'm going to school. If you have any heavy work, leave it there and I'll do it when I get back."
Lin Zhao nodded. "No need to bring me lunch. I'll take the four kids to the state-owned restaurant."
She glanced at the twins, their heads buried in thought, and helplessly explained, "Their parents were called. I went to see their teacher and then took them to dinner."
Song Yunjin said, "Okay."
He is a high school student and starts school earlier than the twins, otherwise he could take them with him.
After saying this, he rushed out of the house with the speed of wind.
Hengbao took a bite of the bun and then a bite of the fried dough stick, fulfilling his little wish when he was hungry.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the chattering voices of Bangbang and others came in.
"Yubao, Hengbao, are you ready? It's almost too late!" Laimei shouted loudly at the door.
Hengbao jumped off the bench and rushed to the door. "Right away, they're having breakfast. We'll leave after we finish."
He ran to the door, bringing with him the aroma of meat and oil.
The children of the Gu family, who each had half a sweet potato for breakfast, couldn't help but follow his hands with their eyes.
"Then you eat, we'll wait for you." Bangbang sat down on the stone at the door, and after sitting down, he did not forget to pull his younger brothers.
Lai Mei didn't pay attention and her butt hit the stone, making her grimace in pain.
Lin Zhao walked out of the house, "Why don't you come in?"
She looked at Alan and said softly, "Alan, bring your brothers and sisters in and have something to eat together. We bought a lot this morning."
Yubao said, "My mom asked my uncle to buy some steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk. There's plenty. Sister Lanlan, Brother Bangbang, Brother Laimei, Brother Tiedan... hurry up and eat while it's hot. After you finish eating, we'll go to school."
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Gu Lan.
Hengbao brought his sister and Tiedan over.
They all went in, and Bangbang had no chance to persuade them, so he could only follow them.
Each person had a steamed bun and a fried dough stick, their stomachs were full of oil and water, and the growing children...their stomachs finally felt full.
Especially Tiedan, he almost cried the moment he bit the bun.
Later he became a famous writer and repeatedly talked about this experience.
Even put it in a book.
[When I was a child, my family was poor and I often didn’t have the chance to taste meat for two or three months. I was still growing at the time and was very hungry every day... This made me lack the energy to do anything and my mind was filled with only one thought - to find something to eat.
At that time, Zhiyu and Zhiheng went to school, and Bangbang and I had a new task. We picked up Zhiyu and Zhiheng from school every day and escorted them home after school. I had no objection and even felt a little happy in my heart because I knew that Third Aunt would never let us work for nothing.
Sure enough, Aunt San would cook for us every few days, sometimes green bean cakes, sometimes meat buns, and sometimes she would treat us to delicious white noodles...
Thanks to Aunt San’s subsidy, we had a better childhood than other children in the village and were half a head taller than them.
My brothers and I have been close since we were young. When we grew up, we were busy with our own things, but our relationship remained unchanged. We would get together from time to time, and the place where we got together was always in the third room.
Bangbang and Laimei didn't say anything, but I knew they, like me, were grateful to my uncle and aunt, and were close to them.
…
After breakfast, Lin Zhao watched Bangbang and others leave.
She turned around, locked the door, and took Qianbao and Yaobao to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Yaobao, mommy's at work. You and your brother should stay still and don't make a fuss. Tell me if you're hungry, thirsty, or need to go to the bathroom. And don't run around. There are so many people here in the morning. If you run around, I won't know where to find you."
On the way, Lin Zhao gave instructions to her two children.
Qian Bao tilted his fair little face upwards, his long eyelashes fluttering as he nodded solemnly, "Yeah, I know."
Yaobao nodded hurriedly, "Bao is here too!"
She spoke in a babyish voice and her pronunciation was unclear when she was anxious.
"It's not that I've arrived, it's that I know." Gu Qianbao, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, corrected his sister.
"I know." Yaobao was very well-behaved.
"Yes." The brother affirmed, "Yaobao is awesome."
Hearing his brother's praise, Yaobao jumped twice on the spot and hummed a discordant melody.
Lin Zhao's eyes softened. "What is Yaobao singing? It's so beautiful."
Yaobao smiled with her cherry lips wide open, her eyes curved, and she said sweetly, "Phuket Island, learn from grandpa."
Talking all the way, the mother and her two children arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Li Fen saw the two cubs from afar with a smile on her face.
"Finally, you brought the two cubs here."
She brought over two small stools, covered them with handmade cushions, and called to Lin Zhao, "Bring Qianbao and Yaobao to sit here. These are specially prepared for them."
"Aju brought the stool, and I made the cushion. It's not something valuable."
They heard last week that Lin Zhao would bring her two children to work, so they prepared these things in advance.
Lin Zhao was surprised and smiled as she thanked them, "Thank you, Sister Fen, and thank you, Aju."
Wang Ju took Yaobao's hand and carried her to sit on the stool. Touching the child's soft hand, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose and her eyes became starry.
So cute! So soft!!
So good, so good!!
"You're welcome. I like Qianbao and Yaobao."
That is, Qianbao always has a stern face, rarely smiles, and looks at people with a calm look, making people afraid to do anything to him; Yaobao is different, she greets everyone with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes are curved when she smiles, and she calls "sister" in a baby voice, she is so cute that it is hard to be rational with her.
Lin Zhao said to the twins: "Thank you, sister. I gave you the little stools you're sitting on. Thank you, too, Aunt Fen."
"Thank you, sister. Thank you, Aunt Fen." Two cute voices sounded.
Li Fen clutched her chest and said, "Zhao Zhao, how come you're so good at giving birth? You have four cubs, each one as pretty and smart as the next. I'm so envious."
"Both the big and small soldiers are well behaved. They listen to whatever you say. What else are you dissatisfied with?" Lin Zhao said angrily to her.
Dajun and Xiaojun are Li Fen’s two sons.
Li Fen laughed out loud and asked, "Where are Yubao and Hengbao? Did your brother send them off?"
"My nephews and nieces pick them up from school every day," said Lin Zhao.
"Then you are very easy to deal with." Li Fen's impression of the Gu family improved a little.
She suddenly remembered something and looked at the other salespeople, only to find they were all busy and not paying attention. She whispered to Lin Zhao, "Don't you want a bicycle ticket? I know someone wants to sell it, but it's a bit expensive. Do you want one?"
"Yes!" Lin Zhao said hurriedly, "I want it!"
"It's fifty yuan, do you really want it?" Fifty yuan was Li Fen's two months' salary. When she heard the price, she lost all her thoughts.
"Yes." Lin Zhao still said the same word.
She explained, "My eldest brother works in an electrical machinery factory. His home is far away, and commuting is very troublesome. I've been trying to get him a bicycle ticket for a long time, but I've never been able to find one."
"Don't even mention fifty dollars, I'd buy it even more. Bicycle tickets are so hard to come by!"
Speaking of this, Lin Zhao felt like vomiting.
She drew lots every night, but never won a bicycle ticket. Instead, she got a lot of extra supplies, filling up her storage ring.
Li Fen saw that Lin Zhao really wanted it, "Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning."
Including the money for the bicycle ticket, a bicycle costs more than two hundred yuan. Zhaozhao is really kind to her elder brother.
Lin Zhao smiled happily, "Thank you, Sister Fen."
"Nothing, just a few words." Li Fen said nonchalantly, touched Yaobao's little face, and went to work happily.
Like other salespeople, he would glance at the twins from time to time, with the corners of his mouth curling up unconsciously.
…
noon.
Lin Zhao entrusted the counter to Li Fen and Wang Ju, and she took Qianbao and Yaobao to school.
As soon as we arrived at the school gate, Yaobao's excited little voice rang out: "Brother, brother!"
The white and tender little hand pointed at the school, and the eyes were as bright as stars.
"Yes, your elder and second brothers are inside." Lin Zhao said.
I entered the school smoothly and found the office of the twins' homeroom teacher.
Knock on the door and come in.
"Teacher Pan, I am the mother of Gu Zhiyu and Gu Zhiheng." Lin Zhao took the initiative to introduce herself.
When I came in, I saw that there was a mother and son inside.
When the woman heard Lin Zhao's words, she stood up and angrily said, "You are the parent of the twins. They beat my children. How do you decide how to handle this?"
Teacher Pan quickly stood up and pulled Xu Juanjuan's mother to sit down.
"Comrade, don't get too excited. Gu Zhiyu and Gu Zhiheng did beat Xu Juanjuan, but they also bear responsibility. You can't put all the blame on Gu Zhiyu and Gu Zhiheng. It's unfair to them."
The lesbian's emotions stabilized.
Lin Zhao sat down with the twins.
She was afraid that the two children would be frightened, but she didn't expect that the brother and sister were not afraid at all. Instead, they glared at the gloomy-faced female comrade angrily.
Lin Zhao laughed.
Reach out and rub your children's heads.
She looked at Xu Juanjuan's mother calmly and spoke softly, "Xu Juanjuan's mother, I've heard everything Teacher Pan has to say about the whole thing. Both children are at fault. How do you want to handle this?"
Lin Zhao was so polite that the female comrade felt a little embarrassed and murmured quietly, "At least you have to compensate me with some red medicine, right?"
Afraid that Lin Zhao would think she was being too demanding, she spoke quickly, "My son Juanjuan has several scrapes on his body. I don't know how many days it will take to heal without applying medicine."
The request is reasonable.
Lin Zhao agreed, "Okay."
It just happens to be in the storage ring.
She borrowed her shoulder bag, took out the red potion from the storage ring, and placed it on the table.
"I've given you the red medicine. Any other questions?"
Xu Juanjuan's mother was stunned. "No, it's gone."
Lin Zhao smiled and nodded, then looked back at Teacher Pan. "Teacher Pan, do you have anything else to say?"
"...No." Teacher Pan was a little stunned as she didn't expect that there would be parents acting like this.
It is common for children to fight. If Xu Juanjuan's mother had not insisted that Gu Zhiyu and Gu Zhiheng's mother come to school, she would not have let Lin Zhao come.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be leaving first."
After saying this, he called the twins and left.
After going out, I went to hang out in the classroom where Yu Bao and Heng Bao were. Through the window, I saw the two kids sitting upright, seemingly writing, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
"Brothers!" Yaobao shouted happily when she saw her brothers.
The two brothers' eyes lit up and they smiled brilliantly.
then.
Lin Zhao saw Yu Bao say something to the teacher, and they both ran out of the classroom.
As soon as they came out, Yubao hugged Yaobao.
"Qianbao, Yaobao, you are here too." he said happily.
Seeing their younger sister at the classroom door was a new experience for the twins, and both children were very happy.
Hengbao looked at Lin Zhao's expression and asked, "Mom, have you been to the teacher's office?"
Hearing this, Yu Bao's smile faded and he looked over nervously.
"I went there," Lin Zhao said. "The matter was resolved, and I gave them a bottle of red medicine as compensation."
twin:"!!"
Hengbao's face was filled with pain as he asked Lin Zhao, "Mom, how much is a bottle of red medicine?"
"Two cents."
"It's so expensive." Hengbao blurted out.
Yubao took the initiative and said, "Mom, I'll give you the money when we get back."
"Huh?" Lin Zhao was surprised.
"Hengbao and I caused this trouble, so we'll pay for the red medicine." Yubao said seriously.
Finally, he looked at his brother and said, "Hengbao, you have no objection, right?"
Hengbao didn't dare to object, "...No."
"Okay, then you give me ten cents when we get back and I'll take one cents," said Yu Bao.
Lin Zhao did not express her opinion.
The school bell rang.
The twins rushed into the classroom to pack their things and then followed their mother to the state-owned restaurant.
They called out to the bang bang dancers, but the children were reluctant to go, saying their families had given them money and tickets and they would eat in the cafeteria.
After dinner, Lin Zhao sent the twins back to school, and she took Qianbao and Yaobao to the supply and marketing cooperative.
There were not many people in the afternoon, and the sales clerks were all sitting and knitting sweaters.
Around three o'clock, Gu Chan hurried over to find Lin Zhao.
"Zhao Zhao." She had a happy look on her face.
Ever since Wei Xiangdong was injured and hospitalized, Lin Zhao has not seen such a cheerful smile on her elder sister-in-law's face.
"Sister, what's the good news?"
