Two-in-one
The two kids knew they were going to the zoo, and they were more excited than anything else, even though they didn't know what a zoo was. In the early morning, the two brothers were like two little balls, mumbling to everyone, "We're going to the zoo!!"
“Let’s go to the zoo!”
"Mom and Dad are going to the zoo!"
The child's voice is both soft and sweet. He repeats the same sentence several times, like two little trumpets, as if he can't wait to tell the world and talk to everyone.
Gu Cheng rubbed his ears. On the boat, the roaring noise and the sound of the waves served as background sound, as if they would never be erased. There were always sounds in his ears. Some people's hearing was affected, but Gu Cheng's hearing had always been excellent, until - he stayed with two two-year-old boys all day.
Only then did Captain Gu know what the most terrifying sound in the world was: the duet of the two children, as loud as a flock of ducks. To those who knew they were just two children, but to those who didn't would think he was carrying a kindergarten with him.
"Raising children is harmful to hearing." Gu Cheng crossed his arms and looked at the two stumpy little penguins beside his legs, or the two mobile trumpets, which had been chattering non-stop since they woke up in the morning.
The little speaker is turned off, and the child sits quietly on the sofa playing with toys. It is actually a wonderful time for the adults.
"Comrade Gu, I have to admire you. Your ability to resist interference is extremely strong. This is a natural ability of yours as a father." Comrade Qin Yao looked at Gu Cheng with admiration. Yesterday at noon, the two kids were quarreling loudly, but Gu Cheng next to them fell asleep like a mountain and had a comfortable nap.
However, it led to a quarrel between Mr. Gu and Gu Zhuyong, father and son.
Grandpa Gu said that his grandson has a good physique. Like him, he is a natural born fighter. He can wake up when he is told to and sleep when he is told to... He can fall asleep easily in any environment. This is a rare talent.
Gu Zhuyong argued that he could sleep like that despite the chaos outside, and he didn't even react when there was an explosion on the battlefield.
Qin Yao secretly admired Gu Cheng's acting skills. His two sons, grandfather and father were arguing so loudly, but he was so calm. It was unclear whether he was really sleeping or pretending to sleep, but he was sleeping comfortably.
Comrade Xiao Qin thought to himself that he was not that shameless.
"Comrade Qin, practice more and try to catch up with Comrade Gu's level." Gu Cheng smiled, applied moisturizer to Qin Yao and helped her put on leather gloves.
The couple teamed up to catch chicks. After catching two little ones, they wiped their faces clean and applied moisturizing oil on them. Children have tender skin and cannot stand the wind. They will have a runny nose when they are cold. The two little ones at home were wrapped tightly to keep their noses clean.
No matter where I go, I am praised for being a clean and pretty baby.
The couple took their two kids to the zoo. When they arrived at the entrance and opened the car door, the two kids shot out like cannonballs, running towards the gate with their little feet, just like monkeys released into the mountains.
"Tiger Tiger!"
Gu Cheng walked with his long legs, leisurely following the two kids. Qin Yao tied her scarf, tucked her hands under it, and followed them forward.
The two kids' steps are too small. They jump and run all day long. They don't cry when they fall, but get up and continue running. Qin Yao really suspects that they have small motors in their bodies. How can such great energy be contained in their two-year-old bodies?
The younger the child, the more energy he has.
First, I took the children to see the tigers, and then to feed the monkeys. The monkeys were in cages at this time and could be fed peanuts. The mother monkey was holding the baby monkey. The monkeys were very smart and they would learn the actions of the tourists.
Qin Yao held Mingming in her arms, and Gu Cheng held Ruirui in his arms. A group of monkeys went to Ruirui's side, vying for the peanuts he handed over.
Gu Cheng felt very strange: "What's wrong with these monkeys?"
The monkeys in front of him were stacked together, like a sweater grid, staring at Gu Cheng... and the baby in his arms.
Qin Yao complained in her heart: Maybe you are holding a "Wanhou Fan" in your arms.
The giant panda logo can be found in many places, including basins, kettles and cups, all of which have patterns of giant pandas and bamboo. The two little ones have seen pictures of giant pandas, but this was the first time they saw a giant panda.
The giant panda in the pattern is very small, but in reality it is quite large and chews bamboo very quickly.
Mingming looked at it with envy, and he also wanted to try chewing the bamboo strips. Qin Yao frowned: "You can't bite it."
"Mom, I want to eat!"
"I'll take you to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots in the spring."
"I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat!"
…
Qin Yao threw her youngest son to Gu Cheng, leaving the greedy kid to him to deal with, while she held the friendly cub in her arms. The giant panda no longer ate bamboo at this moment, and crawled over using all four limbs. The mother and son admired the giant panda up close.
Gu Cheng was carrying his little son who looked very much like him. He really couldn't understand why this monkey-like kid was his child and looked like him.
What a greedy guy! I also want to chew on the bamboo.
He wasn't this stupid when he was a child.
"Okay, Dad will take you to eat." Gu Cheng grabbed his son and turned away.
Qin Yao shouted from behind: "Where are you going?"
Gu Cheng took the child to find Qin Si Ge, the child's uncle, and asked Qin Si Ge to get some fresh bamboo for the stinky baby in his arms to chew on. Practice makes perfect. If he wasn't allowed to eat it, he would really think it was some good stuff.
Fourth Brother Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, I'll go get it. I have some dried bamboo shoots here. How about making duck with dried bamboo shoots for the kids at noon?"
Fourth Brother Qin found some thin bamboos, and Gu Cheng broke them coldly and stuffed them into the stinky guy in his arms. Mingming was a smart kid. After he took a bite and found that he couldn't bite it, he stopped making a fuss, as if the person who had been making a fuss about eating bamboo just now was not this stupid kid at all.
Fourth Brother Qin took his two little nephews to see the red pandas.
"Red pandas are timid. Some are afraid of people, while others are very friendly. Cancan is a bit braver and is not afraid of people."
Qin Yao went to see Cancan, the brave little panda as described by her fourth brother. This little panda was very lively, could walk on two legs, adapted well to human touch, and loved to eat fruits.
"It's quite cute, just like a child." Fourth Brother Qin had a gentle look on his face. Over the past two or three years, Fourth Brother Qin had become a lot darker, his speech became more fluent and clear, he was warm to others, and he was especially tender towards small animals.
Fourth Brother Qin told Qin Yao a piece of good news: "I'll tell you something. Keep it a secret from our parents. I, your brother, may be going to study at the Agricultural University."
Qin Yao quickly asked: "That's a good thing, is it confirmed?"
Nowadays, whether it is further study or going to university, it all depends on recommendations. If Fourth Brother Qin has the opportunity to study in university, his rank will definitely be raised after graduation, and he may be transferred to a key position.
"It should be confirmed." Qin Si Ge smiled, unable to hide the joy on his face. "Nine out of ten, there are three places this time. We have experienced an assessment before, and the four people at the top were selected to choose three. My score ranked second, so I should be selected anyway."
If he was third or fourth, Brother Qin would not have any hope, but he was second, and the person who was eliminated would be either third or fourth, so it was certain that he would go to study.
"I secretly asked Director Li in private, and he gave me a look, saying that I must be one of them."
"Yaoyao, wait until the notice is posted and the candidate is confirmed, then tell your parents and make them happy."
At this point, Fourth Brother Qin couldn't help showing a hint of pride on his face. Having become much more tactful in the past two years, he would never blow the news out in advance, but in front of his sister, there was nothing to stop him from saying these things.
After further studies at the university, I will have the opportunity to become a small leader in the zoo in the future and will be able to say a few words.
The leader of the zoo is still a leader!
"Congratulations." Qin Yao had a smile on her face. She didn't take this matter too seriously. The college entrance examination would be resumed next year. If her fourth brother was interested in studying animal science at the Agricultural University, he could start studying hard this year. In the future, he would be a regular college student and would not miss the opportunity to study further.
You can go directly to the zoo for further studies and still keep your job. After completing your studies, you can transfer to another position and have better career development in the zoo.
It’s hard to say who is good or bad, but this opportunity to go on further studies is a great thing for Fourth Brother.
"Yeah." Fourth Brother Qin smiled as he spoke to his sister and brother-in-law. He loved his two little nephews very much. They were his only two nephews. He told them a lot of interesting stories about animals, which made the two little guys fascinated.
Two two-year-olds: "Huh? Ah! Uh-huh!"
These two kids mainly don’t understand, and can only respond with “um” and “ah”, plus they repeat what adults say, or give some weird responses.
Fourth Brother Qin didn't mind this kind of "talking at cross purposes" conversation at all. When he had nothing to do, he would talk to animals. No matter how smart the animals were, they were not as smart as his two little nephews.
Gu Cheng said to Qin Yao: "Fourth brother is really patient. As a father, I am ashamed of myself."
Qin Yao: “…”
Qin Si Ge was ashamed: "You talk to animals every day, so you can also develop this kind of patience."
No matter how much you talk to the zoo, they will not respond. They will only give some basic reactions. Even the smartest dogs can only obey a few commands from humans.
From this we can see that humans are truly a very intelligent and advanced species, incomparable to any other animal.
Mingming: "Uncle, I want to eat this..."
He was referring to the panda's feces, which looks like a green dumpling and has a faint bamboo scent and is used for research and study.
Fourth Brother Qin: “Ah?!”
Qin Yao suppressed her laughter and said to Gu Cheng, "Was your son a dog in his previous life?"
Gu Cheng: “…”
"Uncle will give it to you to smell. You can't eat it. Don't put it in your mouth. Later, uncle will take you to eat delicious food..."
The two children stuck to Fourth Brother Qin's legs and stayed close to their parents. They felt very safe and were very interested in expanding their new world and making new friends. They wanted to play with their uncle and kept chattering.
Brother Qin Si was followed by the two little ducks, and for the first time he discovered that raising two children was much more painful than raising a group of animals.
The most terrifying thing is that these two can understand human language, and their little mouths keep chattering, asking all kinds of strange requests and questions: "Uncle, is that delicious?"
"Uncle, is this the bear you gave birth to?"
"If you didn't give birth to it, why would you raise it?"
"Dad and Mom?"
…
The baby-like question of the child made Qin Si Ge unable to cope with it. He felt happy and amused. "Obviously, a child of this age doesn't seem to be very smart, but it seems to be quite smart."
"yes."
Qin Yao thought that raising a child was a pleasure in itself.
"Director Li, Director Li..." Brother Qin Si saw a figure not far away, said something to his younger sister, and went to greet him with a smile on his face. From a distance, he followed behind Director Li and said a lot of good things.
Director Li is a short middle-aged man with a round head. He wears a hat so no hair can be seen and has no beard on his face. He looks a bit like an owl. He had a calm expression when he spoke to Fourth Brother Qin.
Without giving Brother Qin Si time to speak more, Director Li found an excuse to leave.
After finishing his words, Fourth Brother Qin came back contentedly, smiling and saying, "Director Li is a nice guy, not too arrogant."
"He didn't talk to me because he was afraid of misunderstanding and that I would use a backdoor. Besides, I don't need a backdoor..."
Qin Yao nodded, but did not pour cold water on Fourth Brother Qin. However, she felt something strange in her heart.
We had a happy lunch at noon, and as expected something happened in the afternoon. The list of students going for further studies was posted. They were required to report to the school in March. There were three places, the first, third, and fourth were all on the list, but Fourth Brother Qin's name was not there.
Qin Si Ge was dumbfounded and could not help but run to the office to find the leader to argue, "Why is my name not on the list? I get excellent grades every year and I'm ranked second in the assessment. Isn't it said that the best should be selected?"
Even in terms of family background, ideology, style and academic performance, he had no problems. Sun Qi, who ranked third in academic performance, had a poor family background, but he was also elected!
Before, the fourth brother thought that Sun Qi would be pulled off the list, but he didn’t expect that he would be missing from the list.
"Don't come here to make a fuss. The list has been finalized and reported to the Agricultural University. Comrade Qin, don't worry about it. There will be opportunities in the future and I will definitely not forget you. Just do your best."
“If you miss this year, there’s still next year.”
Brother Qin argued loudly: "Why not me? Why is there no my name on the list!"
"The decision is made by the higher-ups, who may consider your job unsuitable."
"I'm already on the shortlist, so how can there be anything inappropriate about it..."
…
Fourth Brother Qin was making a big fuss in the office. Many people gathered outside the window. Qin Yao and Gu Cheng came over with their children. Fourth Brother Qin was still arguing with Director Li and even brought the acting deputy director Zhang Yuan over.
Director Li was shocked when he saw Zhang Yuan. "This is just a small matter, but he is still making a fuss."
"Qin Xueguan, let me tell you, there is no quota, and it is impossible to allocate it to you according to your request!"
Zhang Yuan asked coldly: "What's going on?"
Director Li said in a businesslike manner: "His name was not on the list of trainees, so he came to make trouble with me."
Fourth Brother Qin was extremely anxious: "My name should obviously be on the list."
Director Li: "No, that's it. The list has been made public."
Fourth Brother Qin said, "I was ranked second in the assessment, why am I not included?"
Director Li: "After comprehensive consideration..."
Zhang Yuan, who was standing by, understood what was happening and guessed that it was probably because of her family background or something like that. Director Li also had his reasons for doing things this way.
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Since the list is out, let's leave it as it is. Comrade, you also need to understand that making a fuss will not solve the problem."
"I don't have any problems. I ranked second in the assessment. Why can't I be selected? Third, his family background is problematic. Why can he be selected when his grades are worse than mine and his family background is not good? Why can his name be selected?"
Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, but Director Li remained calm. "Deputy Director, you see, with his ideological awareness, it is a big problem to choose him. On weekdays, employees report that he has ideological problems and is not proactive in doing things."
Fourth Brother Qin was anxious: "What's wrong with my thinking?"
"You're making a fuss like this, there's something wrong with your thinking!"
…
Zhang Yuan said coldly: "Okay, comrade, if you continue to make trouble like this, be careful of being punished."
Brother Qin Si felt like the sky was falling. It was clearly his stuff, so why did Director Li suddenly change his attitude? He was clearly an excellent employee.
He stood there with a dull look on his face.
"Maybe it's because my brother didn't give him money as a bribe."
At this time, Qin Yao suddenly walked into the office and said something like this. Even Director Li, who had been calm just now, changed his expression. "Who are you? What are you talking about?"
"I said that there is no problem with my fourth brother's family background, he ranks second in the assessment results, and wins the outstanding employee award every year. He was not selected for further training because he did not give money to bribe Director Li!" Qin Yao said loudly.
Brother Qin Si came back to his senses with a dazed look on his face: "Sister, sister..."
Even he knew that he shouldn't say anything without any evidence. Fourth Brother Qin guessed the reason why he was not selected later and only hated himself for being too young.
He couldn't think of the reason why he was pulled down. He thought that no matter who he was, he would not be the one to be pulled down. There was no problem with his background, his test scores, and his usual performance... but he was still the one who was excluded.
What Qin Yao said was also his guess, but this was just groundless guess without any evidence.
Fourth Brother Qin felt extremely bitter inside, and now it was his turn to persuade his sister not to be too impulsive.
"What are you talking about? Where did you get this crazy girl?" Director Li could no longer maintain his previous calmness, "Go call the security guards to kick them out."
"There is evidence of bribery in your office. You can find out if you look for it. It may be in this bag." Qin Yao pointed to a slightly worn bag beside the desk.
Fourth Brother Qin was exhausted. Even if he accepted the money, how could he hide it there?
Zhang Yuan also found it very funny, and the group of people outside the window found it even funnier.
Only Director Li's pupils trembled violently, as if a huge stone was hanging in the air, shaky and ready to fall. It was because he was too confident and did not want to be discovered by his wife at home. The most dangerous place is the safest place, and he was planning to find a time to hide after the limelight had passed.
The woman in front of him pointed casually and actually pointed to the right place. Director Li broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't mess around here. Aren't you looking for evidence? I'll open the drawer and let you see—"
Qin Yao quickly took the bag away and said, "Brother, this bag is quite heavy. There may be money and bills hidden inside."
Director Li was furious: "What are you going to do?"
Director Li was about to rush forward to grab the bag, but a man stood in front of him. The world was spinning in front of his eyes, and he was pressed against the table by his neck.
"Let's contact the Supervisory Department." Gu Cheng had already noticed that Director Li's expression was not right. He reacted so strongly to the bag, so there might really be something inside.
Qin Yao opened the worn leather bag and took out a thick cowhide notebook in full view of everyone. When she opened it, she found that the middle of the notebook was hollowed out, with a wad of money sandwiched inside, mixed with industrial tickets.
Zhang Yuan's eyes widened, and the onlookers outside were even more stunned. Most of them were ordinary people, and they had never watched any anti-corruption TV dramas. How could they have imagined that there was such a way to hide money.
Fourth Brother Qin was also dumbfounded. There were several notebooks in the briefcase, all of which were emptied and filled with money.
In addition, a note fell out, which read: Director Li, the quota issue depends entirely on you.
Fourth Brother Qin read out the words on the paper. After he finished reading, he himself felt incredible: "Oh my God!"
People outside were also thinking: Oh my God!
Although I know that many people use money to gain connections, it is rare to see someone being caught so openly.
This has been revealed in the public eye, and it cannot be hidden even if one wants to.
"More than 800. There are actually more than 800 here."
"Oh my god, how much money is this?"
"Was it sent by Sun Qi or Liu Qu?"
"I think they'll all be delivered..."
…
Director Li, who was pressed on the table, felt dizzy before his eyes and thought to himself that it was all over. If he had known this would happen, he might as well have hidden the money back home and given it to his wife. Now everything is over.
What kind of shit luck does this Qin guy have?
Director Li was taken away for investigation, and Fourth Brother Qin was also questioned and investigated. This kind of thing should either not be made public, or it should be made public, otherwise it will become a typical example of severe crackdown. The public list was torn down and had to be reviewed and evaluated again.
Despite the re-examination and evaluation, Fourth Brother Qin felt somewhat disheartened. He thought that human society was complicated and dirty, not as pure and clean as the animal world. It didn't matter whether he went for further studies or not.
So what if you have a degree and can be a leader? Will you become someone like Director Li in the future?
"It would be nice if I could turn into an animal. I could eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and run and jump around when I have nothing to do. It's better than encountering those shameful things."
Qin Yao advised him: "Brother, you must be positive and not be defeated in the face of difficulties. You must seize this opportunity for further study."
"Yeah." Fourth Brother Qin nodded, and then he couldn't help but say: "Little sister, you are still too impulsive. Today is a blessing in disguise."
"If he does something like this, there will always be flaws. He will be investigated only if the situation becomes serious. I really don't believe it."
"Brother, you are not afraid of investigation, but he is."
If Fourth Brother Qin really has a problem, then that's fine. He has no problems with his background or assessment, and he is an excellent employee... If we really investigate, the only person with a problem can be someone else.
"Yaoyao did nothing wrong." Gu Cheng felt that his wife acted decisively, and it was just right to make a fuss at this critical moment. Their family was not without connections, and Fourth Brother Qin had no problems at all, so it would not be difficult to ask someone to help uphold justice.
I was lucky enough to catch this guy by the hair on the spot, which saved me a lot of trouble.
"You're right. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear." Fourth Brother Qin was a little indignant, thinking that he was too young and too confident. But if it happened again, what would he do? Or give gifts in advance?
No, he wants to be number one!
As a teenager, Fourth Brother Qin did not have such drive and had little interest in studying. But now, he suddenly has the determination to strive for the first place. A blacksmith must be strong himself. He needs to work harder. As long as he is strong enough and irreplaceable enough, he will not be pulled aside so easily by others.
Seeing that her brother's ambition was ignited, Qin Yao felt that encountering such a thing was not necessarily a bad thing. People's determination to strive for progress and never give up is not something that comes out of nowhere, but is honed time and time again.
