Chapter 83 "Too Comprehensive"
"Dad, I want to get off the car!"
Seeing their good brother, the eldest and second sons could no longer sit still and asked Gu Chenghuai to get off the car.
Gu Chenghuai naturally would not refuse such a small request. He stretched out his strong arms and easily lifted the two kids to the ground.
"Thank you, Dad!"
The two brothers thanked him politely and ran towards the hammer. The three children made a lot of noise and chased each other as they ran home.
Children always have endless energy.
"These three have a good relationship, just like brothers." The officer comrade who was usually old-fashioned and serious, became much softer after returning home. He began to unconsciously use the same words as his wife when speaking - he even used a cute word like "only".
Lin Zhao was extremely tolerant towards Little Hammer.
The little guy lives up to the title of a good brother. In the original book, he does his best to help the two cubs. He is naive, but loyal and righteous. He is a truly good kid.
"Children's affection is precious, so let them be."
Gu Chenghuai nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the three people and two dogs in front of him, his stern brows tinged with a hint of gentleness.
Front.
The older cub ran very fast, and did not forget to bend down to pick up the amber. His two short legs flapped quickly and he rushed home.
"Da Huang, hurry up and follow me!" Erzai waved his arms and turned back to call out.
Dahuang didn't rush to chase. He circled around the hostess's bicycle a few times, with his big furry tail shaking like a propeller. He rubbed his big head against Lin Zhao's legs affectionately and barked twice. Then he happily went to chase his little master.
Women's bicycle rear seat with cub seat firmly fixed on it.
The four cubs sat inside, their anxious little feet moving gently and wiggling up and down.
She clutched Lin Zhao's skirt tightly, and said anxiously in her baby voice, "Mom, Da Huang! Da Huang!"
"You're anxious too." Lin Zhao laughed and touched her daughter's face. "Don't worry, we'll be home soon."
The four children said repeatedly: "Urgent, urgent, urgent~~"
"Zhao Zhao, you guys go back first." Gu Chenghuai propped himself up on one foot and looked sideways at his wife, "I'll go return the bicycle."
"Don't delay, come back early. My elder sister must be anxious to see you." Lin Zhao reminded the man.
"Okay." Gu Chenghuai responded briefly, and with a kick of his long legs, the car jumped two meters.
The military green figure sped along the dirt road, its wheels kicking up fine dust, and it turned a corner and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Mom, go home." The fourth child urged anxiously, with the ending of the tone rising, soft and sticky, like a freshly opened marshmallow.
The third cub stayed obediently in his mother's arms, his cute white face gently pressed against Lin Zhao's chest, his eyes clear and bright, he was quiet and well-behaved like a doll.
Lin Zhao pushed the bicycle with one foot and it slid out easily.
She looked down at her little son in her arms, her voice softening unconsciously, "Are you anxious, Third Son?"
The third child blinked his eyes, looking serious, "Yeah."
"Sister wants to play with Dahuang, what about you?" Lin Zhao asked with a smile.
"Memorize the dictionary." Sanzai spoke clearly, his dark eyes filled with a seriousness that was not in line with his age.
Memorize...memorize the dictionary? !
How to say it.
This answer was completely beyond Lin Zhao's expectations.
The legs pedaling the bicycle stop and the bicycle slides a few meters by inertia.
She tried her best to express it in a way that the little cub could understand, and said softly, "Children, you can't always stare at the dictionary. It's bad for your eyes, and you won't be able to see clearly in the future."
"Do you understand?"
Lin Zhao suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Raising a child is much more difficult than she imagined - especially when the child is smart enough and ordinary methods of educating children don't work.
Will be powerless.
I will also feel panic.
I am afraid that I will let this God-given intelligence down.
The third child seemed to be aware of his mother's mood. He rubbed his soft little face against Lin Zhao's neck, and his curled eyelashes brushed across her skin, which was slightly itchy, but made people's hearts collapse unconsciously and become soft.
"Yeah." He puffed up his little chubby cheeks, nodded seriously, and said, "You need to rest your eyes. Go play."
"So smart." Lin Zhao lowered her head and kissed the third child's forehead.
The third child was stunned for a moment, his little hand slowly touched the place where he was kissed, and then the corners of his mouth curled up in a small arc, his eyes curved into small crescents, his eyes were filled with fragments of light, and he looked at his mother obediently.
As they were talking, the bicycle stopped in front of Gu's house.
Bangbang stepped forward, took the four cubs off the cub chair, put the short little balls on the ground, and said to Lin Zhao, "Third Aunt, I'll help you push the cart. Big Aunt is in the house."
Lin Zhao handed the car to him, untied the belt, and put the third child down. Fearing that the child might have blood circulation problems, she squatted down and rubbed her youngest son's legs.
"Can you ride a bike?" She looked up at Bangbang.
Bangbang guessed something, his eyes brightened immediately, and he looked at Auntie San eagerly, "Not yet."
That’s what he meant by Third Aunt, right? !
Look at his big sincere eyes!
"If you don't know how, go and learn," Lin Zhao said.
If she doesn't speak up, the Gu family's kids won't bring it up on their own initiative.
"Thank you, Third Aunt." Bangbang jumped up happily.
Imagining that he would learn how to ride the bike and ride it in front of his classmates, he almost laughed out loud with excitement.
There's nothing I can do about it. At his age, he loves to show off.
Lin Zhao waved her hand, let him do whatever he wanted, and took the twins home.
Gu family yard.
The adults are here.
Gu Chan and Wei Xiangdong were sitting in the corner, talking to Gu's mother.
Seeing Lin Zhao, Gu Chan stood up and greeted her, "Zhao Zhao is back."
She came over and hugged the four children, looking at her little niece's outfit and liking it the most.
Gu Chan smiled and said, "Whose little girl is this? How come she is so pretty and wearing a little pink skirt?"
The fourth child remembers his aunt.
The little elf stayed obediently in Gu Chan's arms. Hearing that he was being praised, his eyebrows curved and he gently tilted his little head so that the hairpin appeared in front of his aunt. He blinked his clear and pure big eyes, with a look of bright expectation.
Gu Chan understood very well and praised: "Oh, there are also beautiful ones..."
She didn't know what it was and was stuck.
The fourth child said in a baby voice, "Hairpin."
"Yes, a hairpin. It's beautiful. Really beautiful." Gu Chan took over the conversation and praised it several times.
The four cubs swung their feet happily, their little voices filled with joy, "Daddy, give it to the cubs."
"Your father bought it?" Gu Chan was very surprised. "I didn't expect your father had such good taste. It's true that it's different when you have a little cotton-padded jacket."
The third brother knows it very well. She is only considerate and careful with Zhaozhao, thinking of everything, but she is very careless towards the child.
After praising her lovely niece, she raised her head and glanced towards the door, then retracted her gaze and met Lin Zhao's eyes and said, "Zhao Zhao, where is Cheng Huai?"
"I'm going to return the bicycle. I'll be back soon," Lin Zhao replied.
"Mom, the water is ready, come and wash." Erzai raised his voice.
As their mother was very particular, the two cubs also developed the habit of washing themselves whenever they sweated. After washing themselves, they would not forget to pour water for their mother.
"I'm here." Lin Zhao said and smiled at her sister-in-law.
Walk to the side.
The eldest cub held her towel in his hands, the second cub held the face soap, and even the hammer was drafted in to serve as a soldier, washing the faces and hands of the third and fourth cubs.
He doesn't seem as capable as a five-year-old.
It's too comprehensive, and has nothing to do with an adult like her.
"Thank you, Big Cub, Second Cub and Little Hammer, you are all very capable." Lin Zhao coaxed softly.
The three children were coaxed into being placentas, smiling happily and behaving more actively.
"Mom, can you give our capable kid a twist as a reward? We can share it." The second kid grabbed Lin Zhao's skirt with his little hands, tilted his little face up, and said coquettishly.
"You just had dinner, and you're hungry again?" If her hands weren't wet, Lin Zhao would have wanted to touch his belly.
"My grandma said that the teenagers are eating me out of house and home. My brother, Tiechui and I are all teenagers and we get hungry quickly." Erzai argued.
It seemed like nothing could stump him.
"You're not old enough for that." Lin Zhao said with a smile, "Besides, don't worry, no matter how much you eat, you can't make your father and I poor."
The family savings are bulging.
Shanzai's father's allowance savings book has nearly 4,000 yuan, and the money in the mission bonus savings book is much more, not to mention the small yellow croaker her father gave her.
I really don't lack money.
"Go get some if you want to eat. Get some more cookies and soda and share them with Goudan and the others."
Erzai hugged Lin Zhao tightly, "Mom, you are so kind."
Gu Chenghuai's tall figure appeared at the door and saw his second son holding his wife.
He began to wonder if he could trick this clingy little guy into sleeping in his grandparents' room tonight.
Gu Chenghuai quickly retracted his gaze, and his eyes fell on his sister and Wei Xiangdong, and he called in a low voice: "Sister, brother-in-law."
He was very tall and straight like a pine tree, with an exceptionally outstanding face, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and he looked outstanding and awe-inspiring.
It wasn't the first time she saw it, but no matter how many times she saw it, Gu Chan felt proud from the bottom of her heart.
"Cheng Huai is finally home. How are you doing in the army? Is everything going well?"
Gu Chenghuai smiled and said, "Well, where's my sister?"
"Hello, sister. Everywhere is fine." Gu Chan's smile deepened. When she heard her brother talking, the strangeness she felt when they first met suddenly disappeared, leaving only closeness.
"How long will you stay?" she asked again, pouring a bowl of water for her brother.
Gu Chenghuai took it, drank a few sips to moisten his throat, and said calmly: "More than a month. I originally planned to visit you and brother-in-law tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come."
He didn't know yet that Lin Zhao gave the job of making matchboxes to her eldest sister.
I thought it was just a coincidence that Gu Chan went back to her parents' home.
"Why do you need to go all the way here? Just have a good rest when you come back. Ask someone to pass me a message and I'll be back the same day. At most, I can just take half a day off."
Gu Chenghuai smiled and said nothing.
…
Lin Zhao washed off the dust, turned around and went back to the house, and when she came out again, she was holding the ointment in her hand.
She stood in the yard and called to Erzai, "Erzai, come here, let me apply the medicine on you."
Because of applying the medicine diligently, the tooth marks on the little guy's hand are no longer as ugly as when he was bitten, but they have not completely disappeared. Keep wiping it, hoping that no marks will be left.
The second child was sitting in a circle with his brothers and sisters, playing with the tin frog with great interest. He was eating candy while playing and didn't even bother to raise his head.
When he was suddenly called, Erzai's face fell, but he didn't get angry.
He squatted there like a frog, turned his head, looked at his mother eagerly, and asked softly: "Can you apply it tonight? I want to play."
"Apply it now, and I'll give you something more fun later." Lin Zhao said with a smile.
The second child's eyes suddenly lit up, he jumped up from the ground, ran over, and asked expectantly, "Mom, what are you going to give me? Is it a toy?"
"For fun."
Just as Lin Zhao responded, a slender and strong hand stretched out in front of her, with an unfamiliar ointment in the palm.
"Use this." Gu Chenghuai said gently, "I asked the doctor, and Erzai's hand won't leave any marks."
Although he didn't know why Zhao Zhao cared so much about the marks left on Erzai's hands, he still went to consult a doctor.
Lin Zhao was slightly startled. He took the ointment and was a little confused. "The doctor at the county hospital said that? This is different from what the doctor at the clinic told me. I also asked him when I went to buy the medicine. He said that based on my description, it is very likely to leave a mark."
Did she accidentally exaggerate?
However, when the second cub was first bitten, the teeth marks were blue and purple, with streaks of bright red blood, and looked quite serious.
If not for this, how could she be looking forward to getting the scar-removing ointment every day! ?
Gu Chenghuai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gazed at his wife tenderly.
"Because you cared about it and applied the medicine frequently, the wound healed quickly. The doctors at the county hospital concluded based on this that you took good care of the second child. Thank you for your hard work."
"Just apply this ointment for a few more days, and it won't leave scars, don't worry."
He heard from the eldest cub that when the second cub was bitten... the wound looked really serious for a child.
I heard that Erzai was secretly driving a little train, but he was afraid that his mother would laugh at him for not being brave, so he never cried out in pain in front of Zhaozhao, but only said it in a coquettish way to his brother.
Lin Zhao lowered her head and applied medicine to the second child. Hearing this, she felt refreshed all over and a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
Captain Gu is really good at talking.
She thinks so too!
"There's a wooden top in the desk drawer in the room. Take it out. Your son wants to play with it."
Gu Chenghuai turned around and went into the house without saying a word.
In less than two minutes, a delicate wooden top appeared in his hand.
It is shaped like an inverted cone, with a flat top and a pointed bottom. It is round and smooth all over, and is painted with circles of rainbow-like colors, making it exceptionally bright.
"Did you buy this spinning top? It's even painted, quite exquisite." He looked at it and commented casually.
Lin Zhao smiled but said nothing.
I won it in the lottery, so I had no choice.
When Erzi saw the spinning top, his eyes seemed to twinkle with stars, and he urged impatiently: "Dad, how do you play this? Teach me."
Gu Yucheng came over, took the spinning top from his third brother, and said with a smile, "I'll teach you. Let your father talk to your eldest aunt and the others."
The second child had no objection at all and skipped away with his uncle.
Lin Zhao warned anxiously, "Wait until the medicine has dried before you proceed."
"Okay, got it." Erzai waved his hand casually, his little back looking so cool and neat.
Seeing this, the eldest child took the initiative to say, "Mom, I will watch over my brother."
"Then I'll trouble you, big boy."
Lin Zhao then rested and sat next to Gu Chenghuai.
The man had a palm-leaf fan in his hand, which he waved gently, bringing a slight coolness.
Gu Chan was really happy watching this scene, and the smile on her face never faded.
"Zhao Zhao, Xiangdong and I are here today to deliver the pasted matchboxes. We have already pasted the ones you sent last time."
"So fast?!" Lin Zhao was surprised.
It would take even a skilled worker two or three days to make five hundred matchboxes.
It was my sister-in-law’s first time making paste, and she finished it so quickly? !
"You stayed up all night to do it?" She frowned slightly.
Gu Chan was afraid that Zhao Zhao would be angry, so she hurriedly explained, "I only stayed up the night before, and then it was fuzzy in the morning and at noon, but not at night. Xiangdong said it hurt his eyes."
Lin Zhao didn't want her elder sister-in-law to ruin her health, so she looked at her and said seriously, "Brother-in-law is right. It's best not to sleep at night. It's bad for your health."
"I know. I just thought that since it's my first job, I wanted to finish it as soon as possible." Gu Chan said with a smile.
After they finished talking, Gu Chenghuai spoke up, his deep voice carrying a hint of surprise, "What matchbox?"
"Cheng Huai doesn't know yet?" Gu Chan raised her voice in doubt, and then smiled and said, "Zhao Zhao found a job for me and your brother-in-law to paste matchboxes."
Her elder and younger sisters-in-law were sitting next to her. She couldn't say how much money she earned, so she could only look at her younger sister-in-law apologetically.
Gu Chenghuai looked at his wife, and a touch of emotion flashed across his deep, dark eyes.
Lin Zhao said casually, "It's because of Sister Fen's family connections. She asked me if I was willing to do it, and of course I said yes."
Gu Chenghuai still felt that Zhao Zhao had good intentions.
Gu Chan patted the cloth bag containing the matchboxes and said, "Zhao Zhao, all the matched ones are here. Your brother-in-law and I have checked them, and there should be no unqualified ones. Please help return them tomorrow."
"Okay." Lin Zhao responded.
Wei Xiangdong nudged his wife with his elbow, indicating that he had not said the main point.
Only then did Gu Chan remember that she had forgotten to bring something.
She stood up and walked to the side, bent down and picked up the bamboo basket she had carried all the way, walked towards Lin Zhao again, and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhao, there are two rabbits and a pheasant in here. Your brother-in-law just caught them at noon. Please accept them."
She originally wanted to go back to her parents' home tomorrow, but these wild animals forced her to go back early to take advantage of the freshness.
"There's no shortage of meat at home, so the eldest sister should leave two stones." Lin Zhao said disapprovingly.
"They do!" Gu Chan smiled, "Their father knows how to hunt, how could they starve?"
"The family has split up, and we've moved out. Eating meat is much more convenient now than before. Don't worry, we won't treat those two badly."
