Chapter 96 "What the Hell"
Gu Chenghuai couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he picked up the wooden bucket full of water and poured the water into the large wooden basin.
"Thank you, Dad." Erzai thanked him politely and asked, "Dad, can you help me pour some more water in the small basin?"
"..." You are quite polite.
Gu Chenghuai complained inwardly and poured water into his small wooden basin.
Erzai squatted there, grunting as he washed his and his brother's sandals.
After walking on the dirt road for a day, the children's sandals were so black that they were disgusting. The twins, who love cleanliness and have obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't stand it at all.
Seeing Gu Chenghuai still there, Erzai looked up at him, "Dad, go and do your own thing, why are you looking at us?"
Thinking his father was worried that they couldn't wash the clothes clean, the child frowned and said, "My brother and I know how to wash clothes, we can wash them clean!"
"..."
Gu Chenghuai glanced at his face. It didn't look thick, so why did they feel that he was looking at them?
"You think too much. I didn't see you. I was waiting for my wife." He said lightly.
No matter how cold the words were, it did not stop him from burning moxa beside his two sons.
Mosquitoes on summer nights are still very poisonous. Children have tender skin, so being bitten can be very serious.
His wife will worry.
The eldest boy smelled the familiar scent of wormwood, paused in his washing, looked at his father, and said, "Thank you, Dad."
"Thanks, Dad." The second child, like usual, followed his brother's footsteps and his expression changed quickly.
Gu Chenghuai didn't want to help his two sons wash clothes. He felt that he would have to return to the army sooner or later, and it would be bad for him to interfere too much in his children's habits.
Besides, they are boys and can’t be too pampered.
Compared with other children in the village, they live a good life.
Not only does my biological father not want to help, no one else in the Gu family can help wash.
Tiechui took out his little clothes and said with a smile, "Big boy, little boy, I'll wash with you."
In the big house, Huang Xiulan lifted a corner of the bamboo curtain and looked out stealthily. She said to Gu Yuanshan beside her, "Look at your son. He has grown up so fast."
"The eldest and second cubs are really good role models. Now that they are back to live here, Tiechui learns everything from them. I don't have to worry about anything at all."
Gu Yuanshan reminded him in a straight-man way: "They will go back after the third room's new house is built."
"Oh, you're so annoying." Huang Xiulan's smile instantly disappeared from her face, "Can't you let me be happy for a little while longer?"
"Okay, okay, take your time and be happy." Gu Yuanshan walked away, waving a palm-leaf fan, his straw sandals rubbing against the ground, making a slight rustling sound.
…
Main house.
Father Gu was flipping through that broken dictionary again. The third cub was curled up next to his grandfather, staring at the dictionary with his clear and transparent black eyes. The fourth cub was sleeping like a piglet.
"Achan has the good fortune of pasting matchboxes. Now that the family business has split up, I finally don't have to worry about her anymore." Mother Gu fanned her granddaughter. The amplitude of her shaking hands was quite large, and the wind could blow onto Father Gu and the third son.
The eldest daughter had an easy life, so she couldn't help but think of the younger daughter. She didn't know how Xing'er was doing, but when she saw the third and fourth daughters were there, she didn't say much.
"Yeah." Father Gu hummed without raising his head.
Mother Gu didn't feel bored and started talking about other things.
…
Lin Zhao is taking a bath.
As usual, the mysterious lucky draw wheel is summoned.
Task bar settlement and update.
[Prepare soda and pastries in advance to increase your movie-watching experience by 120%! Reward: 120 points. 】

[Every dream is worth affirming and supporting. Discover the sports dream of the human cub (Wei Yan) and be rewarded with 100 points. 】
…
Daily tasks have been settled, total points: 1695.
"Wow, I made a lot of money!" Lin Zhao's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he marked out 1,000 points and put them on the lottery wheel.
The needle spun rapidly, and her heartbeat quickened as well.
Gradually, the turntable slowed down, and finally stopped at a reward that was emitting a faint green light.
「Otherworldly Spiritual Plant: Green Root (Primary)
Appearance: Light blue translucent roots, wrapped with silver lines, pulsating slightly as if alive.
Function: Gently regulate the functions of internal organs and enhance the basal metabolic rate. In short, it nourishes the body and prolongs life.
Usage: Grind into powder and mix with honey and water for consumption. "
After reading the description of this thing, Lin Zhao's eyes sparkled with stars. The surprise came so suddenly that her mind went blank for a moment.
Ahhhh her father's life-saving medicine! ! !
Lin Zhao was very excited.
Her parents had a deep affection for each other. They met when they were teenagers and have lived together for more than 30 years, never separating. No matter who got into trouble, it would be a fatal blow to the other.
She was most worried about her biological father because in her memory, her father was in really poor health.
And what about her mother? Because her mother was very strong and had never treated herself badly since she was a child, she was in pretty good health. She had heard from her mother that after she gave birth to her eldest brother, her father specially hired an experienced Chinese doctor to treat her. The old doctor was surprised that her physical condition was so good, so rare!
Her mother told her since she was young that if she wanted to find a partner, she should follow her father's example and look for someone who is already a very good person, so that her life would not be bad.
She found it based on her father.
Lin Zhao was very satisfied with Gu Chenghuai. They had been married for several years, but the total time they had spent together was actually less than a year. However, she could still feel whether the man was worth her.
He was devoted to her.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhao smiled sweetly.
She was in such a good mood that she simply spent another 500 points to draw again!

Wow!
Hoo hoo! !
This is what I wanted!
…
Gu Chenghuai heard humming coming from the bathroom. The voice was very soft, but he had good ears and still heard it.
He moved a little closer, his lips curled slightly.
Lin Zhao came out holding the dirty clothes and was stunned when she saw the man at the door.
"What are you doing standing at the door? Are you scaring me?"
"Can't you think of something better?" Gu Chenghuai's brows revealed helplessness. He took the clothes from her hand and put them aside. He motioned Lin Zhao to sit down, took off the towel wrapped around her hair, and patiently and carefully wiped his wife's hair. He did not forget to respond to her words, "It's rare to hear you hum a song. I think it sounds good. Do you want to get closer to listen?"
Before Lin Zhao could say anything, Erzai's eyes lit up.
"Mom humming?" He had just washed his sandals and was washing clothes with his brother. He probably touched his face with his hands, and there was foam on his cheeks. "I didn't hear it."
The child's face was full of accusations, "Dad, you didn't even call me!"
The eldest cub also looked at his father with resentment.
Lin Zhao was afraid that the two children would make trouble for her, so she quickly said, "Your father heard it wrong. Mother didn't hum a song."
The children believed everything their mother said, and they all said "oh" and continued washing clothes.
The eldest child saw the clothes that his mother had changed and said, "Mom, wait until my brother and I finish washing the clothes of the third and fourth children, then I will help you wash them."
"That's great." Lin Zhao said with a smile.
"Mom is nice too." The eldest son felt that his mother was very hard-working. She had to go to work and did not rest after get off work. She also took them to the movies and to the recycling station.
"Yeah, mom is the best!" Erzai agreed, "Mom, I'll help you wash too."
The mothers of other children in the village were reluctant to take them to the movies, or buy them soda or books. His mother was the best, so he had to be nice to her.
"You don't have to wash it, I'll wash your mother." Gu Chenghuai frowned slightly.
How could he let these two kids steal his limelight when he was at home?
Lin Zhao couldn't stop laughing.
The eldest and second cubs thought it was all right if their father washed the dishes, as long as it didn’t make their mother too tired.
"Then when Dad returns to the army, the second son and I will help Mom wash." The filial eldest son took the initiative.
"Yeah." Gu Chenghuai didn't think there was anything wrong with his son washing clothes for his wife. The two boys were almost six years old, and his wife was so good to them, so they should help out.
"You two must listen to your mother. If anyone bullies you, call me."
Erzai still remembers the time when his mother took them to the post office to call his father. He was so curious about the phone that his whole face lit up like a shining little sun.
"Dad, can you install a telephone for our house?"
Lin Zhao shook her head in amusement. She did not say that installing a telephone was expensive. She only said, "To install a telephone, you need electricity. If the brigade does not have electricity, there is no point in installing a telephone."
"Ah?" Erzai looked disappointed, and the invisible little tail behind him drooped down.
"Dad, when will the brigade have electricity?" He looked at his father eagerly.
Gu Chenghuai: “…”
Do you really think he can do anything?
The eldest son put the washed clothes into a clean basin and said to his father, "It would be great if electricity could be connected earlier. It would be more convenient. Then mom wouldn't have to light a lamp in the dark and bump her legs."
"Did your mother hit her leg?" Gu Chenghuai pursed his lips into a straight line and looked at his wife with heartache.
He is the kind of wife slave who wouldn't frown even if he got shot, but couldn't help but feel distressed when his wife got a cut on her hand.
"Nothing..."
Before she could utter the last two words, Lin Zhao was interrupted by Erzai.
"Yeah, the fourth kid woke up in the middle of the night to pee, and mom woke up to light the light, and then hit her leg." His face was wrinkled. He didn't say a word of pain even though Lu Baozhen bit him so hard, but he felt sorry for his mother.
The little boy wiped his wet hands, rushed over to hug his mother, and rubbed his head against her.
The eldest boy also wanted to hug his mother, but he felt that she was his brother and an older friend, so he was embarrassed to go and stayed where he was and continued to rinse the foam off his clothes.
"It's all my fault for sleeping so soundly. Otherwise, I could have helped mother light the lamp. My eyes are very sharp and I can see even in the dark."
Erzai refused to admit defeat, "My eyes are bright too."
Gu Chenghuai didn't say anything at the moment. He planned to find Yang Junzhi tomorrow to ask about the brigade's electricity supply.
"It's okay." Lin Zhao said helplessly.
I was half asleep and anyone could bump into something.
"Something happened." The eldest boy said with a serious face.
Erzai nodded in agreement.
His mother had fair skin, and the collision was terrible, with bruises all over, which looked painful, and he didn't want his mother to get hurt.
"..."
Gu Chenghuai also felt something was wrong, "From now on, you guys watch your mother and tell her to be careful about what she does."
The twins nodded their heads quickly, and their hair spun like the center of a tornado.
Erzai remembered that his father asked them to make a phone call, and said, "Dad, it costs money to make a phone call, and my brother and I don't have any."
He blinked his big eyes, and the meaning on his expression was very easy to understand.
Gu Chenghuai's mouth twitched, "I'll leave you two one dollar as a backup."
"How much is one dollar? How many phone calls can it make?" Erzai asked, thinking that the more money he could get, the better, and he could give the extra money to his mother.
Gu Chenghuai had no idea of the twists and turns in his son's mind. "Once or twice."
Check the call duration.
If the time is long, do it once; if the time is short, do it twice.
"It's not enough!" Erzai said rudely.
The eldest boy looked at his younger brother and said nothing.
As the elder brother, he knew what Erzai meant.
Gu Chenghuai's dark eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and he looked at his second son with a half-smile, "It's just in case, I'm not asking you to fight every day."
He only has a few dollars of pocket money every month, and he has to buy things for Zhao Zhao, so he can't spend it carelessly.
Captain Gu was fussing over something in his mind.
"Okay." Erzai wasn't angry even though he didn't get more money.
There was warm wind outside, and his hair dried quickly. Gu Chenghuai put away the towel and went to wash clothes for his wife.
The clothes that need to be washed are those worn outside, and the clothes worn inside should be washed when no one is around.
As soon as he left, Erzai hugged Lin Zhao's neck and put his pink mouth close to her ear.
"Mom, I didn't get it this time, but I'll give you all the money I get next time."
Lin Zhaoheng picked up the second child, lifted his little body up, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your father has given all his money to mother, and he has to buy you gifts with the little money he has. Your father is an adult, he can't be without money, right?"
It was the first time that the second cub was held like this by his mother. His little face turned red with excitement, and he looked very energetic with a string of laughter overflowing from his mouth.
"yes!"
His eyes sparkled, "Mom, you are so strong."
"Yes, mother takes after your grandma." Lin Zhao smiled.
The second child smiled brightly and asked, "Mom, I am your son, why don't I follow you?"
He raised his arms and said enviously, "I want to be strong too."
Lin Zhao was curious, "What do you need so much strength for?"
"How about going up the mountain to hunt tigers?" Erzai said excitedly, waving his little fists and making loud noises.
It was like a boomerang flying back and hitting Lin Zhao between the eyebrows.
He is worthy of being her son.
Her father said that when she was a child, she also wanted to go up the mountain to fight tigers.
"...Not very good." Lin Zhao rejected it outright.
"The tiger didn't provoke you, why did you hit it?" She gently pinched her son's delicate nose, "You little rascal."
You are still fighting the tiger, aren’t you afraid of being swallowed by the tiger?
Erzai chuckled and said, "Okay, I won't fight anymore."
However, he still wanted to be strong enough to fight three people at once.
Seeing his brother was about to start hanging the clothes, he urged, "Mom, put me down first. I want to help my brother."
Lin Zhao felt deeply moved, thinking that they were indeed brothers who were born into this world at the same time and had such a good relationship.
She put the second cub down, stood up, and walked over to help the other cubs.
The clothesline is a bit high for children.
"Thank you, mom."
"Thank you, Auntie San."
"You're welcome." Lin Zhao curled her lips and smiled softly. Seeing that the soap bubbles on the clothes were washed clean, she praised, "It's really clean. Thank you for your hard work."
The eldest was very happy to be praised, with a smile on his face, "It's not hard."
He likes to do things. The more he does, the less his mother has to do.
The child's hands were weak and water was still dripping on the clothes. Lin Zhao wrung it out, grabbed the collar with open fingers, shook her wrist a few times, and hung the clothes.
"You've played all day, it's time for you to go to bed."
The second child tilted his head, "Mom, don't you need to apply medicine today?"
He was talking about his hands.
"Yes."
Hearing this, the eldest cub said, "Mom, the second cub and I will brush his teeth first, and then we will apply the medicine to him, okay?"
"Okay." Lin Zhao had to admit that her eldest son was really considerate and considerate, a pure and warm-hearted little boy. Having such a good son really saved her a lot of trouble.
While she went back to the house to get the ointment, the twins and Little Hammer squatted at the drain in the yard and brushed their teeth seriously.
Lin Zhao did not rush the children, letting them brush slowly, and looked at her son with eyes full of pride.
Her son is awesome.
When Gu Chenghuai saw this scene, his eyes became extremely gentle.
Noticing the man's gaze, Lin Zhao looked back with the corners of her lips raised.
Since Zai's father was around, she couldn't have taken out the scar removal cream she won, so the one she applied to Erzai was the one he bought at the county hospital.
"Okay, go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow morning."
After being forced to exercise for several days in a row, the eldest and second cubs knew how devilish their father was, and were afraid that they would not get enough sleep, so they hurried to bed.
We returned to the main house.
Gu Chenghuai expressed his satisfaction.
…
The next day.
Gu Chenghuai sent Lin Zhao to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, then turned around and went to the post office to make a phone call.
The phone was dialed and after a few beeps, it rang.
A distorted male voice came from the microphone.
"Where can I find it?"
Gu Chenghuai said: "Gu Chenghuai."
After introducing his home address, he called out with a slightly uncertain tone: "Yun Jian?"
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. His voice was bright and clear, but the sound of electricity was so distorted that it was piercing.
"Cheng Huai?"
"You actually remembered me, how strange! What's the matter?" Yun Jian asked straight to the point.
His comrade is taciturn, has nothing serious to do, and will never make a phone call.
You can't just go and chat with him!
Gu Chenghuai didn't say anything more and said directly: "I have a nephew who is very interested in playing table tennis. Now...what's the situation?"
table tennis?
Yun Jian actually knew some news and thought it was such a bad coincidence.
I’m afraid my comrades will be disappointed.
Some things are difficult to say on the phone. The key is how to make the other party understand. I don’t know if the tacit understanding they had on the battlefield is still there?
He said: "The eagle was shot through the wing and fell into the river."
OMG!
Hearing this, Gu Chenghuai understood immediately.
This means that even the Sports Committee system is in chaos.
"Understood."
Yun Jian was happy and didn't rush to hang up the phone since it was a call from home.
"How old is your nephew?"
Gu Chenghuai said, "More than five years old."
"If you really like him, let him go to the Children's Palace first. This situation will eventually end, and then you can...work hard." Someone in Yun Jian's family is in the Sports Commission system, and he knows that a certain leader above is paying close attention to this area.
He felt that he would be able to resume normal training within a few months or a year.
"Thank you." Gu Chenghuai said thank you.
"Hey, we're brothers, why are you being so polite?" Yun Jian said unhappily.
Back then on the battlefield, if Cheng Huai hadn't pulled him up, he wouldn't have just injured his arm, and he would have definitely lost his life. In his heart, Gu Cheng Huai was his brother, and he would definitely be unhappy if his brother treated him differently.
Gu Chenghuai's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he said, "If my nephew really gets to that point, he will still look for you."
Yun Jian was immediately satisfied.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I can still handle such a small matter for our nephew!"
Gu Chenghuai: “…”
