Because they were so looking forward to returning to the Harvest Brigade, the twins didn't enjoy their meals very much and their spirits were wandering. Libao and the twin boy and girl ate with relish.
After dinner, Lin Zhao did not say anything and took the three Baos (Yu Baoheng and Bao Libao) to get their hair cut.
As soon as he arrived at the barber shop, Hengbao said to the barber without hesitation, "Comrade, I want a buzz cut! Give me a buzz cut!"
Yu Bao was afraid of being left behind, so he quickly followed, "I want a buzz cut too!"
Libao scratched his head, "I'm the same as Yubao and Hengbao!"
Children of their age rarely make requests on their own. They are all brought here by their parents, and the adults have the final say on how to cut their hair.
He made demands as soon as he came in, and his goals were very clear. This was indeed the first time I had seen a barber.
"It's useless for you to say it. Your parents have to speak up."
He looked at Lin Zhao, unsure which of the three children she was; she looked like the older sister.
Lin Zhao nodded slightly, "Just listen to them."
The parents were all happy, and the barber had no objection. He looked at the three children and asked, "Who goes first?"
Hengbao and Libao looked at Yubao at the same time.
Yubao took a step forward, "I'll go first."
He was used to it and always took the lead in everything.
The barber patted the back of the stool and said, "Sit down!"
Yubao jumped up and sat upright, with a large piece of oilcloth wrapped around his neck, not moving at all.
If the children are obedient, the barber's work will be easy.
Two minutes a head.
Three heads in less than ten minutes.
Lin Zhao led the children out of the barber shop, looked at the three small boiled eggs, and asked with a smile, "Is your head cold?"
"A little bit." Hengbao touched his head, it felt tingling, and he couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
Yu Bao said, "We can wear hats."
Libao didn't have a hat, and he didn't say anything. He made the same movements as Hengbao and smiled foolishly.
Lin Zhao's heart softened. "Libao also has a hat, just like Yubao and Hengbao."
"Huh?" Yubao's eyebrows curved, "Mom, you bought it for Libao?!"
"Yes, I bought one extra." Lin Zhao asked the children to walk on the sides of the road.
Libao looked at his third aunt with wet eyes.
Yubao happily high-fived, "Great! We can wear the same hat tomorrow!"
There is a kind of excitement that does not care about the lives of others.
"Thank you, Third Aunt." Li Bao held Lin Zhao's hand and thanked her softly.
"You're welcome," Lin Zhao said patiently. "Libao, just drink your medicine obediently. The hat is your reward."
After being praised, Libao felt a surge of joy in his heart, "I will drink it obediently from now on."
Lin Zhao shook her head gently. "Don't say that! Take good care of yourself from now on. Wear more clothes when it's cold, don't kick off the covers at night, and drink water every day... Try to get sick less often. Keeping your body healthy is better than anything else."
Libao nodded solemnly, "Yes, I'll make a note of it."
Yu Bao also said, "I've made a note of that, too. I'll keep an eye on my younger brothers and sisters."
"Yubao is the best." Lin Zhao praised.
As they were talking, they returned home.
Before reaching the door of the house, I saw a cart parked at the door. It was full of things and the twins were sitting on it.
Song Yunjin pushed the stroller forward and backward, using it as a cradle to coax Qianbao and Yaobao to play.
He looked up and saw Lin Zhao and the three treasures coming back.
The voice asked anxiously, "Sister, you've packed your things, are you coming back now?"
Everyone was more anxious than the other, except her.
Lin Zhao simply said, "Go back!"
Yu Baohengbao jumped very high, with a string of happy laughter flowing out of his mouth.
"Let's go back to the team!" Hengbao shouted, pulling his brother and Libao back to the room to get their things.
The candies, thick coats, small bags, hats they collected...
Fully equipped.
Lin Zhao also went back to the house to get her and the twins' things.
After packing it up, it becomes a very big bag.
She came out with her bag, saw Libao, and put the hat in her hand on his head.
Take a quick look.
"nice."
Hengbao raised his chin slightly, looking very proud. He leaned his head towards Libao and asked, "Do we look like triplets?"
“…”
Lin Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "It looks like it."
The hats are similar, but the faces are nothing alike.
Hengbao became proud, with his belly sticking out, and skipped out of the door holding Yubao and Libao's hands.
Lin Zhao turned around, locked the door, called Dahuang and Amber, and went back to the team.
Song Yunjin pushed the cart, and the twins sat on it, sprawled out on their uncle's old mattress, their eyes fixed on the sky, watching the ever-shifting clouds. Xiaojin nestled between them, his posture identical to theirs.
"Yubao, Hengbao, Libao, do you three want to sit down? There are still seats in the front." Song Yunjin asked the three Baos.
Yubao held his mother's hand and shook his head, "Mom and I will walk back."
Hengbao hesitated, but the desire to ride in the car finally won out. "I want to ride."
Song Yunjin stopped and winked at him, "Go!"
Slippery.
Hengbao slid up like a little monkey.
"Where's Libao?" Song Yunjin asked him specifically because she was afraid that he would feel embarrassed.
Libao wasn't interested, "No!"
He had sat on it before, and his butt hurt because there was no cushion.
Song Yunjin said nothing more and continued pushing the cart.
"If you're tired, leave it to me." Lin Zhao said.
"I can't be tired." Song Yunjin said confidently, "That's how heavy it is."
As he spoke, he accelerated his push.
Hengbao shouted happily, "It's fun! Uncle, please go faster!"
Song Yunjin simply started jogging.
Crunch.
The cart slid across the dirt road, making a noise.
"Push slower!" Lin Zhao shouted.
Holding Yubao and Libao, with two dogs beside them, they followed quickly.
The big yellow amber has good food, its body is plump, its fur is smooth, and its limbs are strong. It looks scary when it walks on the road, causing passers-by to unconsciously look at it.
"What a fat dog!" blurted out the little boy who was passing by, his words full of shock.
Da Huang looked at him.
The naughty boy shrank his head and dared not say a word.
The men looked at the two dogs with admiration, "They are fat. I have never seen such powerful dogs. I wonder how they raised them!"
The older people had a different view. They said in a preachy tone, "People can't even afford to eat, yet they keep dogs. They've gotten so fat from eating them. How much food do you need to produce? It would be great to kill the big one and eat its meat."
He clicked his tongue while speaking.
Yu Bao happened to hear these words. Fear appeared in his eyes and he tightened his grip on Lin Zhao's hand slightly.
Her voice was tense, "Mom."
"Don't be afraid. The rhubarb can even beat wolves. No one can hurt it." Lin Zhao pinched the child's hand.
She was not surprised by what passersby said. How could a person who was short of money have any rationality?
This is also the reason why she wanted to return to the team when there were not many people around.
Yu Bao recalled Da Huang's record of showing off his prowess in the mountains and breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up the chubby Amber and walked forward quickly, whispering to Da Huang, "Da Huang, you have to protect yourself and your cub. Keep it away from the bad guys! They are mean and want to kill you for your meat!"
Dahuang seemed to understand and barked.
Yubao struggled to free up one hand and touched Dahuang's head to praise him.
"Rhubarb is the best."
Seeing that Yubao couldn't hold Amber, who had grown bigger and fatter, Lin Zhao said, "Let Amber go on her own. I'm here, and no one dares to touch her."
Yubao really couldn't hold Amber anymore, so he put her down.
"Amber, you have to follow us closely, and don't get caught by the bad guys!" He warned the puppy.
Amber circled around her little master, barking a few times and wagging her tail quickly.
Yubao looked delighted. He grabbed its right paw and shook it a few times. "We agreed."
Amber rubbed her head against Yubao's leg, "Woof..."
"Mom, Amber promised me, right?" Yu Bao looked up at Lin Zhao with surprise.
"Yes." Lin Zhao said.
The four cubs regard the two dogs and Xiao Jin as their friends, and they can't bear to lose any of them!
"Don't dawdle, hurry up and get back to the village...it's safe for them to run wherever they want."
Yu Bao thought so too, took a starting motion and ran forward.
Song Yunjin glared at the person who said to kill Dahuang and cursed inwardly.
Even the dog is concerned about it, how inhumane!
Lin Zhao just wanted to go home quickly and urged, "Yunjin, come back quickly."
The sky suddenly darkened, and I was afraid it was going to rain.
Yunjin came to her senses and did not go up to fight with the old man. She continued to push the cart with a grunt.
Ten minutes later, there were not many people on the road and the sky was completely overcast.
"Is it going to rain?" Song Yunjin's expression changed slightly.
Lin Zhao was very calm. "Hurry up and get home before it rains."
She pulled Yubao and Libao and walked faster. Hengbao didn't sit for long and got out of the car because his butt hurt. Now he was jogging and chasing Dahuang, walking in the front.
Song Yunjin sped up again.
The group hurried as fast as they could and returned home before the raindrops fell.
Just as I carried the things on the cart to the bamboo table under the eaves and put the cart away, raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky, hitting the roof with a clattering sound.
"It's raining!!" Yubao shouted.
Song Yunjin: "We were lucky. We almost got soaked in the rain."
After saying this, he looked at Lin Zhao with a smug look on his face. "Sister, it would be useful to take me with you, right? You didn't want to take me with you before, but I'm still useful!"
"I'm just afraid of trouble." Lin Zhao rolled her eyes at him.
"What's the trouble? It's not a trouble at all. There's no trouble with your matter. You are just being formal, sister!" Song Yunjin said.
Lin Zhao ignored him.
I don’t know what my uncle said to Yunjin, but in his mind, she seemed to be disabled and he had to interfere in everything.
Yu Baoheng and Bao Libao stood under the eaves, stretched out their hands to catch the rain, felt the raindrops hitting their palms, and giggled.
After a while, Hengbao turned around and said, "Mom, I miss grandpa and grandma. Can I go back to the old house?"
Yu Bao's face also showed anticipation.
Song Yunjin suggested, "It's raining, let's wait until it stops."
It was cold and he was afraid that the twins would catch a cold.
The eyes of both cubs dimmed.
Lin Zhao added, "If you want to go, go ahead. Put on your raincoat and rain boots."
Fortunately, she was well prepared.
"What?" Heng Bao was puzzled.
"Wait."
After saying this, Lin Zhao turned back to the house, opened the wardrobe, took out two raincoats and two pairs of rain boots. Thinking of Li Bao, she took out another set from the storage ring.
Yunjin is also in short supply, so just get a bigger one.
The children's raincoats are bright yellow and their rain boots are the same color.
Seeing such bright colors, the three treasures' eyes sparkled.
Lin Zhao spread out a raincoat and put it on Yu Bao, took off the hat on his head, and put on the hood that came with the raincoat.
"This way you won't be afraid of the rain. Sit down and change your shoes." She let Yubao change his shoes by himself, and quickly put on raincoats for Hengbao and Libao.
The child is so small and looks so cute in a bright yellow raincoat.
"It looks nice," Lin Zhao commented, muttering softly, "It's so cute that children have to wear bright colors."
The three treasures put on their rain boots and tucked their pants into the shoes. The size was just right and they didn't feel heavy when walking.
They walked into the rain and found that they were not wet. The three little ones held hands and spun happily in the rain.
Yaobao also wanted to rush into the rain, but Song Yunjin quickly picked her up and held her under his armpits.
"You don't have a raincoat on, so don't rush in. If you're sick, you need an injection, and it hurts." He tried to reason with the little girl.
Yaobao had never had an injection, so she had no idea about it. When she saw her brother playing in the rain, she wanted to play too. She flapped her limbs and kept shouting for it.
Song Yunjin had no choice but to hold Yaobao in one hand and pick up the remaining raincoat with the other. However, she found that the raincoat was very big, and the rain boots wrapped in the raincoat were also big, which was far from suitable for the twins to wear.
He felt anticipation in his heart and suddenly looked up, "Sister?"
"For you." Lin Zhao said softly.
Hearing this, Song Yunjin's mouth almost stretched to the back of his head.
"Sister, where did you get so many raincoats and rain boots? Aren't they hard to buy?" He touched the raincoats and rain boots with a smile on his face.
It rains a lot this season, so he wears a straw raincoat to school, which keeps the rain out, but his trouser legs inevitably get wet. If it rains harder, not only will his shoes get soaked, but his trouser legs will get wet up to his knees.
"I'm just a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative. There's nothing I can't get." Lin Zhao said proudly.
Song Yunjin thought so too, "Amazing."
Looking at the twins running in the rain, he sighed and said, "Sister, you didn't have raincoats and rain boots when you went to school. If you had raincoats and rain boots, you wouldn't be sick every year."
“…”
Lin Zhao: "You're still feeling melancholy... It's just a cold, nothing serious."
Song Yunjin had a different perspective. "Colds are so uncomfortable. Every time you caught a cold, you couldn't eat or sleep well for days. Your voice was as unpleasant as a pig's. You didn't even have the energy to scold me or my brother... My parents were most afraid of you getting sick."
As soon as he opened his mouth, all sorts of words came out.
Lin Zhao: “?”
"My voice sounds like a pig?"
"Why don't I remember?!" She narrowed her eyes and looked at the outspoken Song Yunjin with a threatening look in her eyes.
Song Yunjin instantly became honest and explained incoherently, "...Sister, you know what I meant. I just... felt bad for you because you had a hard time going to school."
Lin Zhao: "Going to school is always hard."
"I think it's okay." Song Yunjin smiled brightly.
"You're full of energy."
"Nothing compares to my aunt." Song Yunjin was battling wits and courage with Yaobao, trying to stop her from wearing a raincoat, while talking to Lin Zhao, "Sister, how come you thought of buying me a raincoat and rain boots? My parents didn't even think of it."
"It's not that my uncle and aunt didn't remember it, it's that they haven't been able to get the tickets yet," Lin Zhao explained.
Raincoats and rain boots are made of rubber, and tickets for them are harder to come by than oil and sugar tickets. They are also daily necessities, so you can afford them if you save a little. Of course, you won’t sell them outside.
"I know." Song Yunjin knew his parents were good to him. "I'll be the second person in my family to have a raincoat and rain boots!"
When he goes back and wears it to show his brother, I guarantee he will cry with envy.
hey-hey.
At this time, Hengbao, who had had enough of playing in the rain, asked Lin Zhao through the drizzle, "Mom, can we go see grandpa and grandma now?"
You want to show off!
"Go, walk slowly, don't run." Lin Zhao didn't stop them. She could stop people but not their hearts.
Yubao thought about his birthday tomorrow and said, "Should we go find Tieniu and Yuanbao and tell them that Hengbao and I have birthdays tomorrow?"
"……OK."
As soon as Lin Zhao agreed, the three treasures had fun.
When I left the house, I saw many members wearing straw raincoats or straw hats.
Hengbaoshe called out to everyone he knew in a very arrogant manner.
The villagers stopped when they saw them.
"Yubao, Hengbao, you two are back. You're wearing really nice clothes. Are these things from the city?"
"This yellow is so bright, you can see it from a distance."
"Libao has put it on too. Your Third Aunt is so nice to you."
"Yubao, I heard that your aunt is going to become a city dweller. Is that true?"
…
The villagers were busy gossiping, standing under the eaves and asking about the Gu family's twins.
Hengbao knew everything and said, "That's right, my aunt will soon become a city dweller!"
