Chapter 77 "Vinegar"



Chapter 77 "Vinegar"

The young doctor looked at him in surprise, as if he was looking at some freak.

"You're still so young..."

Why are you so upset?

Gu Chenghuai interrupted him, "I am the father of four children."

"..." It's unnecessary to ask!

The young doctor even wanted to slap himself, but when he noticed the gaze of his military comrade, he put his hand down.

He cleared his throat and answered Gu Chenghuai's question.

"Gay sterilization is a minor surgery to cut off the vas deferens, which means that the man will no longer be able to have children. The surgery is simple, the recovery is quick, and it does not affect... well, other functions."

"Our hospital doesn't have the technology to do this, so we can't do it. I suggest you go to a big city to do it." The doctor made the suggestion sincerely.

Gu Chenghuai listened carefully and felt that this was more reliable than having an IUD inserted. He remained calm, but a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

"Thanks."

After thanking him, he left the house and went to the pharmacy.

At noon, Song Yunjin came to the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver meals again.

When he came, his walking posture was a little awkward. Unlike yesterday's casual and free-spirited manner, there was a sense of stiffness in his walking posture.

"Did you get beaten?" Lin Zhao glanced at her little cousin's butt with a curious look on her face.

Song Yunjin put the lunch box on the counter. He felt that his sister's gaze was real and wanted to block it with his hand, but he held back.

The young man shouted sadly: "Sister!"

Lin Zhao retracted his gaze and sat down to eat. "Are you okay?"

"Something happened." Song Yunjin bared his teeth and complained to his sister, "Sister, my dad's beating really hurts."

His butt was swollen from being spanked!

"You're courting death again, aren't you?" Lin Zhao's eyes showed a clear understanding of everything, "How did you offend your uncle?!"

Song Yunjin raised her hand and touched the tip of her nose, her eyes wandering, "Nothing, it's just that yesterday, I snatched the job of delivering food to you, sister."

"Ah? It was my uncle who brought me food?! Isn't he very busy?" If Lin Zhao hadn't known that Uncle Song was very busy, she would have gone to his house in the morning after get off work.

"I'm busy." Song Yunjin felt even more guilty, and didn't dare to lie to his sister, so he said, "...I finally squeezed out some time yesterday afternoon."

He robbed it!

Lin Zhao gave him an indescribable look, "This... you deserve it!"

"Sister, you have no conscience!" Song Yunjin screamed and shouted in a suppressed voice.

"Sister, I was just trying to bring you food. How can you say that to me? With four kids, I am no longer your favorite little cousin! If you don't miss me, am I still your brother?"

It's normal for middle school boys to sometimes turn into chatterboxes.

"..."

Lin Zhao turned her back silently and didn't look at him.

If it weren't for the fact that he was not handsome, this look could be described as an eyesore.

Song Yunjin calmed down, and as her elder sister, Lin Zhao felt a little distressed. She reached into her bag, took out two candies, and stretched her arm back.

"Chocolate?" Song Yunjin's eyes suddenly lit up, like two small torches, shining brightly, "Sister, where did you get the chocolate? My dad said that only the Friendship Store has it, and it's hard to buy."

He only tried it once, sharing it with his brother, and he liked it very much.

"You talk too much." Lin Zhao pretended to be impatient.

Song Yunjin knew better and shut up.

"Your brother-in-law came back yesterday. I will bring him to your house on Sunday. Please go back and tell your uncle and aunt." Lin Zhao swallowed the food in her mouth and turned back to instruct her little cousin.

She hadn't been to the Song family very often in the past few years. Uncle Song hadn't seen Gu Chenghuai many times and had an average impression of him. She had to go there on weekends to improve his impression of him.

"What?" Song Yunjin stood up, his eyes widened, as if in disbelief, "He's back?!"

Lin Zhao narrowed his eyes, looking threatening, "Him?"

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, it's okay." Song Yunjin instantly became as obedient as a quail, and couldn't help but grumbled aggrievedly: "Sister, you value women over brothers!"

Lin Zhao shrugged and didn't deny it. "Yes, I value men over brothers. Gu Chenghuai gives me money to spend, buys me skirts, hats, and small leather shoes, so why shouldn't I value him?"

The words fell.

She stood up, opened her arms slightly, turned around, and said ostentatiously, "Look at this skirt of mine. Your brother-in-law brought it to me from Haicheng. Doesn't it look good?"

Song Yunjin couldn't say it didn't look good, because his sister looked really good in it, so good that there was nothing wrong with it, and she looked better than any actress in the movie.

"……nice."

He was a little unconvinced, "Sister, you are beautiful, even wearing a sack."

Song Xiaojin, who has a sister complex, dislikes Gu Chenghuai.

He was only ten years old when his sister got married. He cried for two days until his eyes were swollen like light bulbs. He hated the person who took his sister away from him.

I still get angry when I think about it now.

and!

In the boy’s mind, his sister’s relationship with his family has become distant in recent years because of her marriage, and he is very annoyed and angry with the Gu family.

"I won't wear a sack. Why would I wear a sack when I have such a nice new skirt? I'm not stupid." Lin Zhao sat down again and ate her meal leisurely.

She doesn't want to suffer!

Life is short, she wants to live brilliantly, like a blooming flower.

Song Yunjin's shoulders slumped. "I didn't force you to wear a sack. What I meant was..."

Well, he didn’t know what he meant, he just had the habit of going against his brother-in-law.

Well, of course, I was muttering behind her back.

The young boy who has not yet graduated is like a star bigger than the Milky Way in front of a real man, and dares not act rashly.

"I know what you mean. You just can't bear to leave me. But I'm a girl and I'll get married sooner or later. It's good for me to marry into the Gu family. You won't be bullied and you'll be the eldest in the family, which is very comfortable." Lin Zhao comforted her brother and told him not to care about it anymore.

Song Yunjin said righteously with a stern face, "Sister, you are the eldest in our family. You must be the eldest after you get married. You must not be bullied. Otherwise, why marry someone? Do you want him to be away from home all year round? Do you want him to look fierce?"

He quite recognized his sister's supreme status in both the Lin and Song families.

Being married can't be worse than not being married, otherwise why get married!

Are you free? !

"Your brother-in-law is a good person! How can you say that about someone you haven't met many times, especially an active-duty soldier? Is that polite?" Lin Zhao shook her head and raised her hand to tap his forehead.

Slip failure.

Not even a sound.

She calmly withdrew her hand and concluded: "You are too presumptuous!"

Song Yunjin hissed twice exaggeratedly, stiffened his neck, still unwilling to accept, muttering, "Don't I want to see you more often? I have to have a chance."

"..." You are just finding faults.

After Lin Zhao finished eating, Song Yunjin quickly packed up the lunch box, wrapped it around her wrist, and was about to leave.

"Song Xiaojin."

Without waiting for Lin Zhao to speak, Song Yunjin waved her hand and said, "I know, I know. I will tell my dad when I get back. I will make sure I am well prepared and will not make my brother-in-law feel uncomfortable."

He emphasized the word "brother-in-law".

"Thank you, Song Xiaojin, you are the most reliable!" Lin Zhao praised him and stuffed a can of meat into his hand, "Here's a treat for you."

The clever boy was instantly coaxed into a fool, his mouth opened wide, and he picked up the can and went home.

Li Fen sighed, "You and your cousin have such a good relationship."

It was the first time she saw her niece and her uncle’s family being so close.

"My uncle has only two sons. He treated me as his own daughter and was especially good to me. When I was a child, he came to live in the city every ten days or half a month." Lin Zhao's expression was soft and her voice was soothing.

"There are very few uncles like this." Li Fen said with a complicated expression.

Life was hard, and even the family was short of food and clothing. Which uncle would not be wary of his nephews and nieces? Some were even worse, wishing to peel off their skin, like Lin Zhao's uncle...

few.

Very rare.

At least she hadn't seen it.

"Does your uncle have other nieces?" Li Fen had nothing to do, so she went to chat with Lin Zhao.

Wang Ju also moved her stool, her ears perked up.

"Yes, there are quite a few," said Lin Zhao.

Her mother has sisters, and she has an aunt.

Li Fen curiously asked, "How does your uncle treat them?"

"That's fine." I didn't invite them to live in the city, but I would give them food when we meet... just good, ordinary food.

Of all his nieces, my uncle likes her the best.

She also asked the reason, and her uncle said that he liked it because he liked it, there was no reason.

Preference, no reason.

However, Lin Zhao felt that it must be because she was very cute when she was a child and was loved by everyone, and her uncle just happened to have two naughty boys, so he treated her as his own daughter.

Lin Zhao did not say much about these things, so as to prevent others from knowing the whole story and making them suspicious of her uncle's character in their hearts.

"Zhao Zhao, I have never seen a girl with a better life than you!" Li Fen expressed her envy bluntly.

She is a simple person and says whatever she thinks.

Lin Zhao smiled.

She also thinks she is lucky.

"Sister Fen is not bad either. She has healthy children, is capable of managing the household, can earn money on her own, and holds her head high. And Wang Ju is the same. She has a good family background, is a technical secondary school student, and has a good job..." Lin Zhao felt that no one should belittle themselves.

It seemed like a casual remark, but it was sincere.

A few words made the two of them smile happily.

"Yes, they're all good." Li Fen laughed and fell sideways, gently bumping into Lin Zhao's shoulder.

The supply and marketing cooperative is only busy in the morning. After lunch, there is much less to do and everyone just has to wait until the end of get off work.

Ten minutes before getting off work, Lin Zhao quietly slipped to the toilet as usual.

Squatting in the pit, she moved her mind slightly and summoned the lottery wheel.

Take a glance at the points count.

435 points, quite enough.

First draw the 10 points one.

The turntable slowly stopped, and a few words appeared:

Fun gift pack.

[Iron Frog × 2 pieces]

【Iron car × 1】

【Chinese chess × 1 set】

【Black skipping rope × 1 piece】

【Marbles×10 pieces】

【Chicken feather shuttlecock × 2 pieces】

【Wooden spinning top × 2 pieces】

【Bamboo dragonfly × 10 pieces】

Lin Zhao was very satisfied with what she got today.

Gu Chenghuai somewhat neglected Sanzai when it came to bringing gifts.

She wanted to give something to her younger son and originally planned to buy something, but when she saw that the selection at the supply and marketing cooperative was limited, she decided to draw a lottery.

Unexpectedly, I had such good luck.

Lin Zhao washed her hands and returned to the counter, and the pleasant bell for the end of get off work rang.

"Sister Fen, Aju, see you tomorrow." He said hello to Li Fen and Wang Ju and left briskly.

Liu Chunhong almost tore the rag in her hand into strips. Her brows slightly frowned, the corners of her mouth turned down, and her face was full of displeasure.

"I've been working for almost half a month, and you didn't even say hello to the old employees. How rude!"

Li Fen laughed when she heard this and retorted: "It's so funny. If you have any opinions, just say them to my face. Why are you talking behind my back? Besides, your nose is almost upturned to the sky. Do you have any manners?"

"Comrade Lin is paid by the state. She doesn't eat or drink with you. Your attitude is the same as hers. There's nothing wrong with that."

After saying the hurtful words, he locked the counter door, took Wang Ju with him and left.

Liu Chunhong felt a lump in her chest, her head was buzzing, and her face turned pale with anger!

"I'm so angry! What did I say? I'm a veteran employee, and I get scolded for everything I say. Who brought this bad atmosphere? I said that we shouldn't just recruit people randomly. Look at what a mess this supply and marketing cooperative has become..." She kept venting.

The person who was on good terms with her said something fair, "Comrade Lin is quite capable."

As he was speaking, Liu Chunhong glared at him as if he were a traitor.

"Look at me, I have to say that she is not bad, and Comrade Wang is also okay. Although he is shy, he listens to advice and is constantly improving."

"They have all adapted and are doing a good job. You should be more open-minded. If you continue to be so fussy, you will be the one who suffers."

The words fell.

For the first time, he left alone without waiting for Liu Chunhong.

Liu Chunhong sneered, her eyes burned with anger, and her face was full of unwillingness, as if she would explode at any time.

"Mom, I don't want to go to the countryside. It's dirty and smelly. There's nothing there. I heard there are hooligans there. I don't want to go to the countryside. Please help me..."

"I've never worked on the land. If I were asked to do that, I would die!"

"Mom, if I go to the countryside, we will never see each other again in this life. Can you bear it?"

The sound of my daughter crying and despair rang in my ears.

Liu Chunhong's expression turned grim and she took out the letter she had written with her left hand last night from her bag.

She didn't want to do that. It was... Lin Zhao who blocked her daughter's way. It's not her fault.

Pheasants should stay in the mountains forever!

Lin Zhao had just walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative when she suddenly sneezed.

"Why are you sneezing again? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Chenghuai touched his wife's forehead with the back of his hand and felt relieved when he felt that her temperature was normal.

"It's okay. There must be someone saying bad things about me behind my back." Lin Zhao said nonchalantly.

The man's sharp black eyes swept towards the supply and marketing cooperative, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and his tone was gentle as if he was chatting.

"Is someone giving you trouble?"

"It's okay, I can handle it." Lin Zhao's eyes were as calm as water, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

Liu Chunhong thought she was so smart, but she didn't know that those shady little moves could not escape her eyes.

Just forget about it if you don't find any fault.

If you dare to dance in front of her, she will be the only one crying.

Gu Chenghuai raised his hand and smoothed down the few restless hairs on his wife's head. He looked at her with gentle and focused eyes, and said in a serious tone that left no room for doubt: "I have never let you suffer any injustice, and no one else has the right to do so. If you encounter any difficulties that you cannot solve, be sure to tell me and I will do it."

He said this with full of dominance. Lin Zhao blinked, hesitated for two seconds, and whispered: "You are a soldier, you have to walk in the rhythm of 'one, two, one', and obey the law!"

As soon as the words fell.

Gu Chenghuai's expression suddenly became strange, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

So, what did Zhao Zhao think he would do?

He shook his head helplessly, an indulgent smile on his lips, "Don't worry, I know the rules, but protecting you is also my rule."

Lin Zhao's heart seemed to be soaked in honey, so sweet that it could not be melted.

Just as I was about to jump on the bike, I saw that the grass on the back seat of the bicycle had turned into a cotton pad.

"What is this mat...?"

"I asked my mother to help me do it." Gu Chenghuai looked indifferent, not feeling that this was something he needed to take credit for.

Zhao Zhao jumped out of the car in the morning and seemed to be feeling unwell. Since he saw it, he couldn't pretend he knew nothing.

"Come up and see if it's better than the straw mat."

Lin Zhao grabbed the man's waist and jumped onto the bicycle. The touch under her butt was a little soft.

"Softer than a straw mat," she said.

"That's good." Gu Chenghuai took a step forward and pedaled forward.

Lin Zhao realized that this was not the way home, so she poked him in the back and asked in confusion, "Aren't we going home?"

"You are dressed so beautifully today. It would be a shame not to take a photo as a souvenir." Gu Chenghuai said with a smile.

The outstanding eyebrows face the bright sun, and he looks majestic.

Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her lips curled up and a bright smile blossomed. "I have a camera at home. I bought it."

Gu Chenghuai paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

I don’t think buying a camera is a big deal, but…

“Who did you buy it from?”

Things like cameras are only sold in a few big cities, and he was sure that they were not available here.

So where did it come from?

Or rather.

Who helped buy it?

The name of a male educated youth at the educated youth point appeared in his mind, and Gu Chenghuai's eyes contained an emotion that was difficult to understand.

He gripped the handlebars with increasing force, trying his best to suppress the sour feeling in his heart, and slowly ground his teeth.

Is he dead? Ah! ?

He calmed down for two seconds, and then spoke again without showing any anger, his tone was as calm as usual.

"Why don't you look for me?"
