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

Chapter 401 "The Child is Afraid"

Lin Zhao was surprised by her aunt's progressive thinking and her eyes showed admiration.

“That’s great. You and my uncle have big houses to live in, your salaries are not low, and you have good neighborly relations. Living alone will save you a lot of trouble. I support it.”

These days, it's true that a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. The Song family has known their neighbors for decades. Although there have been some frictions, if anyone has a problem, the neighbors will lend a hand. There's no need to worry about anything going wrong.

Song Yuncheng entered the house carrying a dozen bottles of soda. Upon hearing Lin Zhao's words, he immediately realized what they were talking about.

He deftly opened the soda cans, placed them on the table, and gestured for Yu Bao and the others to help themselves.

After finishing his work, he tilted his head back, took a swig of soda, and sat down next to Lin Zhao.

"Sister, I was hoping you could help me persuade my mom, but instead, you just supported her kicking me, her son, out of the house." Song Yuncheng's tone was resentful, and his spirited face was full of accusation.

"Sis, whose side are you on?!"

Lin Zhao calmly replied, "Is there even a need to ask? Of course I'm on my uncle and aunt's side."

Song Yuncheng drawled, "Sister..."

Yao Bao looked over curiously, her tone light and cheerful, with barely suppressed surprise, "Uncle Dayun is so old and still acts like a child, but my little brother doesn't act like a child anymore."

"Your little brother isn't being affectionate anymore, are you going to be?" Song Yuncheng wasn't embarrassed at all, and looked at Yaobao with a smile.

Yao Bao's pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "It's sprinkled."

Song Yuncheng chuckled, "You're the youngest in the family, so you can sprinkle whatever you want, however you like."

His daughter is beautiful and has a lovely voice; it's a pleasure to be pampered by her.

Yao Bao blushed even more, turned her body to the side, and faced her older brother.

Yu Bao looked at Song Yuncheng and said, "Uncle, Yao Bao has grown up and is shy now. Please stop teasing her."

"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you." Song Yuncheng smiled broadly, picked up the reddest watermelon from the table, and stuffed it into Yaobao's hand. "Eat watermelon, this one is the sweetest."

"Thank you, Uncle Dayun." The little girl's voice was sweet and soft. She didn't rush to eat the watermelon after receiving it, but instead brought it to Lin Zhao's lips, letting her take a bite first before eating it herself.

Lin Zhao didn't refuse her daughter's request, and took a small bite, saying, "Your stomach isn't good, so you can only eat one piece."

Yao Bao ate the sweet and juicy watermelon, nodded, and obediently said, "Mmm, I won't eat too much."

Lin Zhao gently stroked her daughter's thick, black braids, her voice soft, "If you like it, I'll buy it for you often."

Yao Bao nestled her little head against Lin Zhao and rubbed against him affectionately.

"Big brother will buy it for you, big brother has money." Yu Bao was charmed by his little sister's cuteness and whispered to her.

“I have money too, I can treat my brothers to a meal,” Yao Bao said softly.

She wore two braids, a pale yellow Peter Pan collar dress, and well-fitting white leather shoes. She sat obediently, like a beautiful porcelain doll, and her words were exceptionally heartwarming.

Yu Bao laughed and said, "Keep your little stash to yourself. We're your older brothers, how can we use your money?"

"I don't mind spending money on my brother," Yao Bao muttered softly, moving closer to her older brother.

A smile flickered in Gu Chenghuai's eyes.

His wife has raised all four children very well; they are all sensible and none of them are unruly, making things very easy for him.

Song Yuncheng suddenly interjected, teasingly asking, "You don't feel bad about spending money on your brothers, so... when you're dating, will you spend money on your partner?"

Upon hearing this, Commander Gu's stern face darkened, becoming as cold and unyielding as snow that had accumulated for a thousand years.

The old father felt an urge to reach out to his waist because of the thought of that blond-haired man eyeing his daughter.

They actually treated their son-in-law, who didn't even exist, as an enemy.

Haha, anyone who tries to kidnap his daughter is asking for death!

Yao Bao blinked her big eyes and said seriously, "No, I won't give it to you. Anyone who spends a girl's money is a gigolo, and I have to stay away from him."

Song Yuncheng burst into laughter.

Uncle Song and Aunt Song couldn't help but laugh.

"Yaobao, who taught you this?" Aunt Song asked with a loving expression, looking at Yaobao as if she were seeing the mischievous Zhaozhao.

"That's what my second brother said." Yao Bao couldn't lie, so she had to betray her second brother.

Hengbao, however, remained completely calm, his back ramrod straight, exuding the air of a privileged young man from a military compound. "I said it," he calmly admitted, then added, "I wasn't wrong, was I?"

“That’s right.” Song Yuncheng gave a thumbs up. “Absolutely right.”

He then looked at Yaobao and said, "Yaobao, your brothers are all shrewd people. If you have any problems, talk to them and let them give you some advice. I guarantee you won't suffer any losses."

Since her relatives live far away, the only one who can protect Yaobao is her brother.

Yao Bao put down the watermelon rind, wiped her hands with a small handkerchief, and answered seriously, "I tell my brother everything."

Jiang Rong had secretly come to see her before and said some strange things, which she didn't want to talk to. Jiang Rong came to see her a second time, and Yao Bao felt a little annoyed, so she told her brother.

Yu Bao and Heng Bao didn't specifically seek out Jiang Rong. They simply spent a few minutes on their way home from school calmly and gently telling him to stay away from their sister, and that if it happened again, they wouldn't be as accommodating as they were today. Out of consideration for their good relationship when they were young, they gave Jiang Rong some face.

These beauties are unaware of this.

After that, Jiang Rong never contacted her again.

When she was young, she didn't know that she had been bullied by Lu Baozhen. When she grew up and found out, she didn't want to take revenge. Firstly, so much time had passed, and now her situation was very different from Lu Baozhen's. Seeing that she was doing well was already the best revenge Lu Baozhen could get... Jiang Rong and Lu Baozhen got along well, and she didn't want to get too close to them, which made sense.

Listening to Yao Bao talk about how she tells her brother everything, Song Yuncheng couldn't help but smile. "That's a smart thing to do. That's how you should treat your own brothers."

"Look at me, how easily I can get your Uncle Xiaoyun under my thumb."

Over the years, the four children have even addressed each other as "Uncle Dayun" and "Uncle Xiaoyun" in their letters. They've gotten used to it, and Song Yuncheng and Song Yunjin have gotten used to it too.

"Uncle Dayun, don't bully Uncle Xiaoyun." Yaobao looked over expectantly and cautiously advised.

Song Yuncheng was stunned.

My head feels a bit heavy. Oh, it turns out I have a big pot on my head.

"Song Yunjin wrote to you again?"

"Don't listen to him! That kid never tells the truth, he has no sense of facts that a reporter should have, and he has no bottom line when it comes to framing his own brother. You guys need to use your own judgment and not be misled."

He said with a serious expression, "It's okay if it goes off course occasionally, just correct it in time."

Yao Bao's little face looked blank.

Hengbao said with a grin, "I know! Don't worry, Uncle Dayun, we have our own judgment. If we're unsure about something, we'll write to you and ask. We won't overthink it."

Song Yuncheng slapped the back of his head, "I'm relieved to hear that..."

Yun Jin, that kid, takes advantage of being far away and doesn't hold back at all when it comes to ripping off his brother.

Speaking of Yun Jin, Lin Zhao asked Uncle Song, "Has Yun Jin secured a job? Will she stay at the provincial newspaper office from now on?"

Uncle Song said, "You know what Yun Jin looks like. He likes her, so your aunt and I can't say anything. We'll just let him have his way."

These days, newspapers are top-notch workplaces. Getting in without connections is nothing short of a pipe dream. Fortunately, Uncle Song has built a vast network of connections over the years through his skills, and with his help, he managed to get Yun Jin in.

“In that case, it won’t be long before your aunt and uncle see Yun Jin,” Lin Zhao said. “It’s alright,” Aunt Song patted Lin Zhao’s hand. “Your two cousins ​​are adults now, they can make their own decisions.”

She smiled and said, "Your uncle and I worked so hard to raise them. Now that our mission is accomplished, it's time for us to rest!"

Looking at his mother's relaxed smile, as if they were an unnecessary burden, Song Yuncheng deliberately said, "Mom, you won't be able to rest for long. Once I get married and you have grandchildren, I don't believe you'll be able to relax then."

In fact, he didn't want his biological mother to take care of the child; he planned to spend some money to hire someone else to do so.

Taking care of children is so hard. It's okay to lend a hand, but he's worried that his elderly mother will hurt her back if she takes care of them all the time.

If that's the case, his sister will definitely take a car back and beat him up. If she gets even angrier, she might even cripple his third leg.

They'll definitely say, "If you can't raise a child, don't have one. My aunt raised you, and now she has to raise your son too. How can you be so shameless..."

I was just thinking about it.

Lin Zhao glanced at him. "My aunt said she wants to rest, and you still want her to take care of the child? What... can't you raise a child? Do you want me to help you eliminate this problem forever?!"

Song Yuncheng was thrilled.

See? I guessed right. It's a perfect 1:1 replica.

"No, no, I was just joking." Song Yuncheng was afraid of being beaten, so he quickly replied, "This is my own mother, how could I not feel sorry for her? I didn't want my mother or your aunt to take care of the child. I plan to hire someone to take care of the child. If Mom misses her grandchildren, she can just go and visit them."

He is now a level 11 technician, earning 73.5 yuan a month, which is enough to support his family, and he can support them very well.

Uncle Song didn't intend for his wife to take care of the grandchildren. He glanced at his eldest son with satisfaction and offered, "I'll pay for the hire."

His salary is more than double that of Song Yuncheng.

There are also bonuses from time to time, making my wallet bulge.

When a son has another son, the pressure of supporting the family will be greater, and it is only right for parents to provide assistance within their means.

Song Yuncheng didn't stand on ceremony with his father and jokingly said, "Engineer Song is very generous."

Song Gong rolled his eyes at him, "You're almost getting married and still haven't settled on anything. Aren't you afraid your partner will laugh at you?"

“My partner knows what I look like, so he won’t laugh at me.” Song Yuncheng was not ashamed but proud.

This time, the girl was someone he had his eye on. She was very straightforward and confessed her feelings to him. Because he had made a mistake before, he didn't dare to agree at first. He secretly asked around about the girl's family background and heard that they were good people and normal, so he started dating her.

no way.

The first one was like that, which scared the child.

Lin Zhao looked at her cousin's worthless smile and smelled the sour stench of love.

People around the same age as Yun Cheng already have children in elementary school, so it's not surprising that he got married late.

"Send me a telegram at a set time."

Song Yuncheng exclaimed excitedly, "Sis, you, such a busy person, are coming to my wedding?!"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Zhao punched him. "I only have two cousins. No matter how busy I am, I have to come to your wedding with Yun Jin."

Song Yuncheng's face lit up with even more joy. "That's wonderful! Don't worry, sister, I'll send you a telegram as soon as we set a time."

Glancing at Gu Chenghuai, who was talking to Uncle Song, she added, "Brother-in-law, come too if you have time."

Gu Chenghuai smiled and said, "I'll try my best. I'll definitely come when I have time, and if I can't come, I'll send you a big gift."

"I'm happy that my brother-in-law and sister came together to compare gifts, no matter how big or small the gift is." Song Yuncheng said that the size of the gift was not important.

Aunt Song pulled Lin Zhao aside to talk, "Have you seen your sister Xiangxiang since you came back?"

"I saw him! Xiangxiang's kid is so big already, it gave me quite a shock," Lin Zhao said.

Yuan Xiang was lucky; she became pregnant three months after getting married and gave birth to a boy as her first child. When her eldest child was two years old, she became pregnant again and gave birth to another boy.

Li Fen, the eldest sister-in-law, was ecstatic—

The next day, they went to the grave to tell their parents in the afterlife that they had descendants, and asked them to bless their two children with health, intelligence, and filial piety...

She had always treated Yuan Xiang well, and after having those two nephews, she treated her even better. Not only was she good to her younger brother and sister-in-law, but she also ordered Li Song to treat her well and not to make his wife angry.

Li Song looked completely bewildered.

His wife is great!

How could he treat his wife badly, given birth to his children and doing his laundry and cooking?!

Last year, Yuan Xiang gave birth to another daughter, finally completing her family with both a son and a daughter.

Aunt Song affectionately tapped Lin Zhao's nose, "The oldest is almost ten years old, how could he not be big? You little scatterbrain, you clearly have a child of your own, yet you weren't mentally prepared at all."

Lin Zhao shook her aunt's arm. "I haven't been back for years. My memory is still from when Sister Xiangxiang just gave birth."

Aunt Song hugged Zhao Zhao and sighed, "Time flies so fast. In a few years, Yu Bao and Heng Bao will be getting married... Time waits for no one."

Lin Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted.

I shivered.

Once Yu Bao and Heng Bao get married, she'll become a grandmother... a super seniority increase.

I feel so heartbroken.

The continuation of life is both joyful and frustrating.

That night.

Lin Zhao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

"Something on your mind?" Gu Chenghuai stretched out his long arm and pulled his wife into his broad embrace. Only when her soft body was close to his did he feel a sense of fulfillment, and he sighed inwardly.

“Auntie is right. In a few years, after Yu Bao and Heng Bao get married, I will be a grandmother…” Lin Zhao pursed her lips, somewhat devastated, “I can’t accept it.”

"I feel like I'm still young, how come I'm going to be a grandmother...?!"

Gu Chenghuai: "???"

Gu Chenghuai chuckled softly, his strong chest trembling slightly, his already deep voice becoming even more alluring.

"It'll be many more years. Aren't you thinking too soon?"

Knowing what his wife was anxious about, he cupped Lin Zhao's face and began to praise her, "You're naturally very young. So tender, your face is fair and rosy, your skin is so smooth and delicate, you're still a young girl. Don't think too much, it's not like you said... that too much anxiety will make your face sag?"

Gu Chenghuai deliberately put on an icy expression when he was jealous, "When you take the kids out, they all think you're their older sister. Some of them, who have no sense of boundaries, even want to get to know you and build a revolutionary friendship."

When it comes to revolutionary friendship, I can't help but get sarcastic.

Lin Zhao's lips kept curving upwards as she was coaxed.

She buried her face in Gu Chenghuai's chest and laughed, "Gu Chenghuai, you're getting better and better at coaxing people. I'm all better now."

Gu Chenghuai smiled, "That's good."

He had no objection to becoming Zhao Zhao's grandparents, which shows that they have walked hand in hand through half their lives. Just thinking about it makes one tremble with happiness.
