The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 3 "My Mother Has Changed"

In the past, Lin Zhao only cared about giving birth but not raising them. She didn't even wash their diapers. When the older ones could walk, she didn't even cook for them. She sent them to the old house to eat. The twin boys and girls were also raised with their milk and rice porridge.

"Gu Erzai." Lin Zhao shouted.

The moment his mother's voice got louder, Erzai lost his temper and immediately lost his energy. He glanced at Lin Zhao awkwardly and said, "Why are you calling me?"

Obviously lacking in confidence.

"I will take care of you in the future, but you have to listen to me. Can you do it?" Lin Zhao didn't know how to teach children, but she felt that her children were obedient. If she talked to them nicely, the eldest and second child would definitely listen.

As she asked the question, her eyes swept over the eldest and second cubs.

The Gu family's twins grew up early and understood things. They knew their mother was different from others. Other children's mothers would hold them, but theirs never did. Other children's mothers would make delicious food for them, but theirs never cared about them...

Thinking of this, sadness appeared in the eyes of the eldest son. Everyone in the village said that his mother didn't like them.

Hearing his mother say that she would take care of them in the future, the eldest cub felt anticipation. He asked, "Will mother make us some delicious food?"

"Yes!" said Lin Zhao.

"Will Mom make us new clothes?" the eldest child asked again. Worried that Mom would think raising them was a waste of money and lower her standards, he said cautiously, "You don't have to make one every year. Can you make one every few years?"

"No." Lin Zhao thought to herself that one set a year would be too few, and making one set every few years would certainly not work.

The light in Dazai's eyes dimmed, and he felt indescribably aggrieved and sad.

Lin Zhao said sternly, "How can you do one every few years? You're still growing, so you'll probably grow four full bodies a year."

The eldest boy was stunned.

Four pieces a year, not pieces, but bodies, a total of eight pieces, this is for one person, so it’s very expensive.

"It's so expensive. Mom, my brothers and I can take turns wearing it." The eldest son felt that his mother was willing to listen to him, so he boldly suggested.

The second cub came over, sticking his butt out to squeeze the first cub, and looked up at Lin Zhao: "Will mom buy us some candy?"

Thinking of the sweet candy, the greedy child sucked his saliva.

The last time he ate candy was when his father came back!
Lin Zhao pretended to think and said deliberately, "What if I don't buy it?"

The second child was dumbfounded. Mother had agreed to all of his brother's requests, except his. The little guy was very angry and said proudly, "If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. When my father comes back, I'll tell him and let your man teach you a lesson!"

Lin Zhao choked, her face turning green. She twisted Erzai's ear and said, "Who taught you to 'let your man teach you a lesson'?"

Erzai stood on tiptoe, following his mother's strength to relieve the pain in his ears, and his arrogance instantly deflated.

"No one taught me. I heard it from the aunt in the village."

Lin Zhao pretended to be serious: "Don't talk like an adult anymore!"

The eldest cub also nudged his younger brother with his butt and said hurriedly, "Mom, I don't want to learn. I never imitate adults' speech."

"You are the best." Lin Zhao touched the eldest child's face and spoke softly.

The second child raised his little hands and looked eagerly: "I'm good, I'm good. If mom buys me some candy, I'll be even better and do whatever mom says." Look, he can even negotiate conditions.

"Okay, now I'll give you your first task, taking a bath." Lin Zhao couldn't stand the dirty, black and smelly children, and she could tolerate it until now simply because they were her biological children.

As for the two people sleeping on the bed, they can't escape when they wake up.

Erzai didn't like taking a bath, his face wrinkled like a bun: "Can I not take a bath?"

"Sure." Before Erzai could even smile wider, Lin Zhao changed the subject: "You won't get any of the meat buns I buy tomorrow!"

The second child's eyes lit up with joy. He hugged his mother's arm and asked excitedly, "Mom, you want to buy some meat buns? Is that true?"

Lin Zhao deliberately contradicted Zizi: "It's fake."

"Mom smiled, it must be true. I'll go wash, I'll go wash now. Brother, hurry up, let's go take a shower." The second cub hurriedly urged the eldest cub.

Lin Zhao held the two children down and said, "Eat your sweet potatoes first. I'll go boil some water."

The second child imitated his grandfather's behavior and waved his hands in a condescending manner: "Why bother? Just wash it with cold water. There's nothing particular about it in the countryside."

Lin Zhao: "..."

She took a deep breath, looked at the eldest son, pointed at the second son, asked him to take care of his younger brother, and then went to the kitchen.

As soon as she left, the eldest cub leaned close to the second cub's ear and whispered, "Second cub, I think mom has changed."

The second child is a carefree person, unlike his elder brother who is careful. He scratched his face and laughed: "Mom paid attention to us today, hehe!"

Lin Zhao boiled some water and took out the bathtub for the two children to use. She asked the two children to rub each other's backs. As there was tomorrow's meat bun hanging on their shoulders, the older and younger children strictly followed her orders, "You rub me, I rub you," grunting.

"Brother, you are so dirty." The long-mouthed Erzai exclaimed, and his words were blunt and heartbreaking.

The eldest boy's face turned red.

He subconsciously glanced at Lin Zhao's door. There was no movement. Thinking that his mother should not have heard what Erzai said, he felt relieved.

"You are dirty too, just wash yourself clean." The eldest brother carefully maintained his dignity as the eldest brother.

Erzai listened to his brother's words and nodded: "Yes."

She said happily, "After we finish washing, we will be clean children!"

The eldest boy nodded.

Lin Zhao hadn't been sitting in the room for a while when Erzai's loud voice rang out: "Mom!"

"..." Lin Zhao really wanted to tell her not to call her mother but to call her father, but there was nothing she could do because her father was defending her country.

She walked out the door, and the mysterious lottery wheel followed her all the time. Lin Zhao stopped, reached out and poked and studied it, and finally found the "invisible when not in use" setting in the corner.

After the setup was successful, she opened the door.

The two cubs stood naked in the basin.

The five-year-old kid is at the age of shamelessness. He has no sense of shame and is grinning.

"Mom, we're done washing. Do you want to check it?" Erzai asked loudly.

He doesn't like taking a bath, but he feels comfortable after taking one.

"No need to check. Just wait, I'll go get you clothes." Lin Zhao said as he walked towards the kids' room. It was hot now, so it was okay to go shirtless.

She opened the small wardrobe and found very few clothes inside, piled up haphazardly. No one taught them how to fold clothes, and the children didn't know how to do it. There were big patches on the clothes, but fortunately they were still clean. They must have been washed by the eldest son's grandmother.

Lin Zhao took out two undershirts and two pairs of shorts, but couldn't find any underwear. She planned to exchange some cloth for some underwear tomorrow to make a few pairs for the children. Clothes had to be made, as the family was not short of money.

She took the clothes and went to the yard.

The two children could dress themselves at the age of three without Lin Zhao's help.

Dazai put on his clothes, straightened the corners of his clothes, looked up at Lin Zhao, and gave a shy and expectant smile.

"Mom, we're clean."

Lin Zhao praised him, "The eldest child has become a clean and pretty boy."

The children of the Gu family, especially those from the third branch, are indeed all pretty. There’s nothing they can do about it, as both their parents are outstanding in appearance and stand out in the crowd.

Erzai stood beside his brother, standing on tiptoe, trying to raise himself higher, blinking his big eyes and saying, "Mom, what about me?"

Lin Zhao didn't understand Erzai's strange desire to win, so she smiled and said, "You're also a clean and pretty child."

The second child was so proud that his tail was about to lift. He said carelessly: "I look the same as my brother. My brother is clean and handsome, so of course I am clean and handsome too."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said, "We are all clean and beautiful children."

Lin Zhao said casually, "Being clean and beautiful for just one day is not enough. From now on, you have to be clean and beautiful every day. Do you understand?"

The eldest boy moved his mouth, wanting to ask if our mother would like us if we were clean and pretty, but he didn't dare ask. The second boy, on the other hand, leaned over and started to get cozy with Lin Zhao, cleverly asking, "If mother buys us meat buns every day, we'll wash ourselves clean every day."

Lin Zhao thought to herself, "You're not washing it for me." Before she could say anything, the eldest son began to teach his younger brother a lesson in a serious tone, "Second son, eating meat buns every day is too expensive. Eat them once a month."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Zhao worriedly and said, "Mom, can the money Dad sent be enough to buy meat buns?" He was worried that the money Dad sent was not enough.

Erzai also looked at his mother worriedly.

Lin Zhao felt that these two kids were really overthinking things. "That's enough."

I was afraid that the kids would go out and talk nonsense, so I didn’t tell them that the money at home was enough for us to eat and drink well.

The two cubs were relieved, their eyes sparkling with happiness.

The whistle sounded, signaling the team to go to work.

“————!” Coming from far away, each cry became louder and louder.

The eldest and second sons are diligent children. Although they are still young, they are not lazy like their mother. They collect firewood, dig wild vegetables, and look for wild fruits... They are very busy every day.

Before, Lin Zhao didn't care about the twins, so the two little brothers carried their younger siblings around everywhere, and the children in the Gu family's old house would also help take care of the two youngest siblings.

"Brother, I'll go call the third and fourth cubs, you go get the basket." The second cub said to the eldest cub and rushed into the room quickly.

After a while, only two little baby voices with crying tones were heard.

"bad!"

"Bad...pot."

Erzai smiled smugly: "Who told you two not to get up? Hurry up, or I'll leave."

As he was speaking, he made a move to turn around.

The twins, a boy and a girl, were still babies who could only walk. They spoke word by word and could not understand what they were saying. When they saw their brother was about to leave, they were so anxious that they slid off the bed and bumped their heads together. They seemed to be stunned. The two little ones looked at each other, touched the painful places, and babbled something, but the two little ones could not understand.

He took the twins down, put little shoes on the third and fourth cubs, and led his younger siblings out of the house.

The eldest cub found his and his brother's basket.

Just then, Mother Gu came over and saw Lin Zhao in the yard. She asked with concern, "Does your head still hurt?"

"A little bit." Lin Zhao didn't lie. After all, there was a big bump on her head.

Mother Gu said, "If it hurts, just lie down more and don't stand too long."

"Yeah." Lin Zhao responded.

Mother Gu didn't have much to say to her. After a brief chat, she took the twins out of the house.

The third daughter-in-law hit her head and needed to rest, but she didn't dare let her look after the child.

Of course, Lin Zhao wouldn't care about the child either, alas.

Gu's mother regretted again that she had taken a liking to Lin Zhao's face and agreed to let the third son marry her. So what if they looked a good match when standing together? They couldn't live together if she had a bad temper.

The second cub saw his grandmother leave and urged the eldest cub, "Brother, let's go too."

Da Zi was worried about Lin Zhao. After walking a few steps toward the door, he stopped and looked at his mother. He said, "Mom, if your headache is severe, please ask someone to call me and Er Zi. We will call a doctor for you."

Erzai was thinking about the meat buns, but he didn't forget to show his courtesy: "Yes, yes, call us if you need anything."

Lin Zhao's heart was touched by the pure and precious love of the two cubs, and a hot emotion surged in her heart.

He took a few steps forward and suddenly said, "Close your eyes!"

The eldest and second cubs were confused, but their mother was in a good mood today, so they were willing to listen to her. So the two children closed their eyes.

The second child was still grinning: "Mom, I'm shutting it up."

The eldest child also said, "Mom, I closed my eyes too."

"Be good." Lin Zhao took out two pieces of rock candy like magic and stuffed them into the mouths of the two cubs.

The eldest and second cubs felt something slip into their mouths. They sucked it with their little mouths and found it was sweet. It was sugar.

Erzai opened his eyes with a whoosh, his eyes brighter than the stars in the summer night: "Mom, it's candy!!"

Children don’t care where the sugar comes from. For them, as long as they have something to eat, it’s fine.

The eldest cub also opened his eyes in shock, but then remembered that his mother didn't tell him to open his eyes, so he quickly covered his eyes with his two little paws and said, "Mom, I didn't open my eyes." He was trying to cover his eyes by trying to cover his ears and steal the bell.

Lin Zhao laughed: "You can open your eyes now."

The eldest child put down his hand and looked at her with bright eyes: "Mom, the sugar is so sweet."

Mother is so kind.

What the village aunties said was wrong. His mother liked them. If adults didn’t like children, they wouldn’t give them candy.

His mother gave him and his brother candy, so she must like them.

Thinking of this, Dazi felt very sweet in his heart, sweeter than eating a bag of candy.

"Mom, do you have any candy?" The eldest son was worried that his mother had no candy.

"Yes." Lin Zhao also ate one, it tasted sweet.

The second child's eyes turned, and he came over with a smile: "Mom, can you give me another one?"

Seeing his sweet smile, Lin Zhao gave each of the two brothers another one.

"Brush your teeth at night."

Erzai put the candy into his little bag and pressed it a few times to make sure it wouldn't fall out. When he heard his mother's words, he said, "My brother and I don't have a toothbrush."

"Mom said children don't need to brush their teeth." The eldest boy also said.

puff……

The two little cotton-padded jackets suddenly turned into leaky leather jackets.

"I'll buy it for you two tomorrow!" Lin Zhao was helpless. What happened to her in the past?

The eldest cub remembered the twins and reminded his mother, "We also want the third and fourth cubs."

"...I remember." She is only twenty-three this year, so her memory is not that bad.

Lin Zhao married Gu Chenghuai the year before she came of age. At that time, she had just graduated from high school. She had no connections and no money, and could not even find a hard labor job, not to mention that the harvest was poor that year and the family was on the verge of running out of food at any time.

She had her own ideas since she was young, planning to get married and change her fate.

Later, Lin Zhao happened to meet Gu Chenghuai who was visiting his family. She took the initiative to attack him, but Gu Chenghuai seemed unable to withstand the offensive and surrendered. Then they got married in front of the statue of the great man.

Outside the gate, there were occasional sounds of footsteps and voices, belonging to people going to work.

The eldest son was in a hurry to go out, and before leaving, he said, "Mom, have a good rest. I will bring you food when I come back."

Where to bring food from? Of course, it’s the old house.

Lin Zhao was sweating profusely.

“…Okay.” It’s not that I don’t want to cook. First, it’s a headache, and second, we haven’t cooked at home for a long time, so it takes time to prepare.

"Don't go to the river, stay with the adults and call them if anything happens." Lin Zhao warned worriedly.

Before the eldest cub could say anything, the second cub said in a loud voice, "Mom, we all know. Grandma taught us."

After saying that, he took the eldest son's hand and ran out of the house.
