Chapter 49 "Stone Brothers" (Additional Update)

Gu Chan was very nervous when facing Lin Zhao, and subconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes, "Zhao Zhao is back."

After saying goodbye, he was about to leave: "I've cleaned up everything that needs to be cleaned up at home, I'll go first..."

Lin Zhao suddenly said, "Big sister, please come back after dinner."

Gu Chan was stunned.

Since Lin Zhao gave birth to twins, she came to help clean the house every two weeks or one month.

More than four years have passed in a flash, and I have never been invited to dinner. Today is the first time.

Aunt Gu was flattered and quickly waved her hand: "No, I'll go back and eat."

"Please stay. You have worked hard these years, big sister." Lin Zhao said softly.

Thinking about how she has behaved in recent years, she is so selfish that it is unbearable to watch.

If you don’t cherish such a good sister-in-law, you will be struck by lightning.

Gu Chan seemed to be frozen in place, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Her eyes were burning, and she lowered her head to hide her embarrassment. She quickly raised her head again and said with a smile, "Then I'll shamelessly stay."

Lin Zhao shook her head.

To put it bluntly, hiring a nanny costs about ten or twenty yuan a month. My sister-in-law has been taking care of her for more than four years, so what's wrong with eating a meal with her!
When the eldest and second cubs learned that their aunt was going to stay for dinner, they came running over and surrounded Gu Chan.

"Aunt, my mother's cooking is delicious." Dazai said proudly.

Erzai patted the flesh on his belly and grinned, "I've gained weight from eating the food my mother cooks. Aunt, feel it."

Gu Chan patted him to show respect and said with a smile, "You are indeed gaining weight now. Eat well and grow up to be as tall as your father!"

"Hey, I eat a lot in one meal." Erzai said excitedly.

Gu Chan looked at the brand new bicycle and asked in a low voice, "Did your mother buy a bicycle?"

"Yes, and a watch. My mother looks so beautiful in a watch."

The eldest added, "My father sent the ticket."

Gu Chan's eyes lit up, "Did your father write to you?"

"coming."

It seems that the young couple is in touch again, which is good.

Gu Chan was always worried that her third brother was too boring and would drive his wife away. When she learned that the two of them were exchanging letters, she felt happy and went to the kitchen to help with brisk steps.

"Zhao Zhao, let me help you."

Lin Zhao cooked every day for nearly half a month and felt that the kitchen was clean enough.

After my elder sister-in-law cleaned up the whole place, she swept all the dust in the corners of the walls clean, wiped the cupboards clean until they looked like new, and placed the dishes neatly inside. It looked so clean and comfortable.

"Big sister is really good at cleaning up." She praised sincerely.

It turns out that Erzai's obsessive-compulsive disorder comes from his aunt.

Gu Chan felt a little embarrassed. Every country kid knows how to clean up the house.

"What's the big deal? Everyone can do it."

Lin Zhao didn't think so. "Yes, it's a city, but the eldest sister made it look very pleasing to the eye."

Gu Chan smiled happily.

I saw my brother and sister-in-law take out a piece of meat, six eggs, a tomato, half a cabbage, and two sweet potatoes, and washed and processed them.

She was stunned: "...Do we have to do all of this?"

"I can finish it." Lin Zhao replied.

A fair little face appeared from the wide-open window. It was Erzai.

"I'm just a little boy, I can eat my father out of money!" He seemed very proud and said in a light tone.

“…” Lin Zhao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Gu Erzai, try talking like an adult again!"

The next second, Erzai covered his mouth, his clear eyes curved with smile, and he rested his little head on his arms, looking at the kitchen. If he had a tail behind him, he would have wagged it to please him.

"Take care of your younger brothers and sisters, don't leave everything to your brother." Lin Zhao cut vegetables skillfully and took the time to look at him.

The second cub cried out in injustice, frowning and looking at his mother accusingly, "Mom, I've done a lot of work. Didn't you see that at noon, the third and fourth cubs wanted to play in the water, and I had to hold them back."

He turned around and called out to his brother: "Brother! Brother! Testify for me! Hurry up, hurry up!!"

Seeing the twins trying to climb on the table, the second cub immediately forgot what he was going to say. He flapped his short legs and ran over quickly. He picked up the fourth cub and took them away from the dangerous place, scolding them with a stern face.

Imitating the tone Lin Zhao had used to call him, “Gu Sizi!”

The fourth cub raised its head, its big black and white eyes looked at Er Guoguo blankly, with a toothless smile, looking tender and fresh like a flower bud on a branch in early spring, and stretched out its hands for a hug.

"Hold me!" Her voice was soft and sweet.

Erzai almost surrendered, but he finally remembered the important matter and talked to his sister seriously.

"You can't climb high. It will hurt if you fall."

Sizi's limp hands grasped Erguoguo's clothes and blinked his big eyes, "It hurts."

"Yes, it hurts."

In the kitchen, Lin Zhao saw this scene and almost died of laughter.

It's so adorable to see a five-and-a-half-year-old boy talking seriously to a little kid.

Gu Chan glanced at the smile on her brother's wife's face, and it felt like something in her heart was pricked. After being happy, she felt a lump in her throat. She quickly turned her head away, and when she looked up again, a cheerful smile appeared on her face.

She knew that as long as her family treated Zhaozhao well, she would live a peaceful life.

Look, Zhao Zhao has a job now and is obviously caring about his four children. How great!

She will definitely treat her younger siblings better in the future!

All the sisters-in-law in the Harvest Brigade went crazy.

"..." What else do you want? Just feed me the food, please!

The Wei family that Gu Chan married into also earned work points from the fields. They could hardly eat meat for several months. When the aroma of the meat spread, saliva filled her mouth and she swallowed it several times. She felt very embarrassed and her face felt slightly hot.

Lin Zhao pretended not to see anything and quickly put the dishes on the plate.

Looking at the plate, I thought of something.

"Sister, I bought a stack of plates and bowls and I have to take them to the old house later. Don't forget to remind me."

Gu Chan was stunned. "Don't we have one at home?"

"We have to return them. Because of what happened to the Lu family, we borrowed those plates and bowls from the villagers," Lin Zhao explained.

The item was broken by Gu's mother, so she has to pay half of it.

Of course, the money for Gu's mother's medical treatment and medicine was provided by the Lu family.

Mrs. Lu was initially reluctant to pay and wanted the Gu family to compensate for all the broken plates and bowls. However, Lu Yizhou, with a sense of shame, paid the medical bills and then agreed to pay for the damage to the plates and bowls in half.

It seems reasonable on the surface.

Because of this incident, the villagers gave him a thumbs up, saying that he is upright and only helps those who are right and not those who are close to him.

Lin Zhao declined to comment on this.

When Gu Chan learned the whole story, she immediately searched her trouser pockets, but found nothing. Most people would rather spend a dime in half, unless they were going to the county. They would never carry money with them at other times and were afraid of losing it.

She smiled awkwardly, "Zhao Zhao, I didn't bring any money. I'll give it to you next time I come."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "No need. Mother is taking care of the four children for me, so it's only natural for me to help. Besides, these plates and bowls are defective products from the supply and marketing cooperative. They're not expensive, so you don't need to pay."

It’s really not expensive, only three cents for a coarse porcelain bowl.

A fine porcelain bowl costs at least 1.5 cents, which is several times smaller than a coarse porcelain bowl.

The bowl that was broken was a coarse porcelain bowl, so of course what was returned was also a coarse porcelain bowl.

Gu Chan thanked him sincerely, and then asked, "How is your work? Are you used to it?"

"It's a habit. I just display the goods, sell them, and then make records." For Lin Zhao, it was a very easy thing.

"Just get used to it. If anything happens, tell your family. If they can't solve it, call Cheng Huai." Gu Chan was inevitably more worried because her brother was not around.

"Okay." Lin Zhao knew that her elder sister-in-law meant well and did not deliberately go against her.

As we were talking, the meal was ready.

Gu Chan was a girl with quick hands and feet in her parents' home, and she became even more skillful after getting married. She put the food on the table and arranged the chopsticks.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Zhao went to feed Dahuang and Amber.

The two dogs looked up at her and circled around her, their tails wagging like propellers.

Lin Zhao poured dog food into the basin, and just after pouring out a little, Amber buried her entire dog face in it, kicked her hind legs, and the basin fell over.

Unable to bear the sight, Dahuang calmly stepped forward, biting the dog's neck and dragging the cub away before letting it go. It leaped forward again, but the mother dog's fleshy body sank, grabbing it with her front paws and holding the cub in front of her. Amber wasn't happy and tried to butt Dahuang with her round head, but it didn't work. She used her short, weak paws to push, but not only did she fail to break free, she even fell to the ground, unable to escape her mother's "Five Finger Mountain."

The puppy was so tired that it stuck out its tongue and lay there in a mess, with a look of despair on its face.

Lin Zhao couldn't help but exclaim: "Puff..."

Gu Chan couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

"Da Huang, bring your baby here to eat." Lin Zhao's voice rang out.

When Dahuang stood up, the little puppy jumped up immediately, walked over shaking its little body, and started showing off.

"It's a small one, but it's very ferocious when eating." Gu Chan said with a smile.

The eldest and second oldest cubs are helping their younger siblings wash their hands.

Hear the words.

The eldest child said, "My mother said that Amber is frightened and hungry, that's why she's like this. She'll be fine when she grows up a bit."

"I felt the same way the first time I ate dumplings my mom made. I wanted to eat the whole bowl." Erzai smiled, thinking about the taste of the dumplings. He licked his lips and looked at Lin Zhao: "Mom, when will we have dumplings again? I want to eat them."

"If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you another day."

……

After having dinner at her brother's and sister-in-law's house, Gu Chan returned to the old house and told her mother to take good care of her injuries. Then she went home with the small cloth bag that Lin Zhao had stuffed into her.

This time she didn't walk back, but Gu Yuanshan rode a bicycle to send her back, which was of course Lin Zhao's bicycle.

Lin Zhao offered to lend her her new bicycle. The Gu family sighed in their hearts, thinking that it was better for the person to be from the same family as them. If they went to the captain's house to borrow a bicycle, they would have to listen to his complaints for more than ten minutes.

Gu Yuanshan washed his hands, happily got on the bicycle, and his mouth was almost crooked with smiles, which aroused the envy of other family members.

The boss is amazing.

Father Gu pinched his thigh regretfully. If he had known that he would buy a bicycle this day, he should have learned how to ride it. The old father really wanted to push his son away and ride himself.

Gu Yuanshan seemed to have reached the pinnacle of his life, pushing his bicycle and looking down on the crowd.

Before he could start to show off, his father slapped him on the head.

"Be careful, if you drop some of the car body, watch out for your skin."

Gu Yuanshan looked at his father, he was his biological son.

What responded to him was Gu's father's firm gaze.

Yes, you heard it right!
"..."

Being threatened like this, Gu Yuanshan became more careful and rode slowly on the road.

It was a rare opportunity for Gu Chan to ride a bicycle. She was happy but also nervous. At first, she didn't dare to move at all and her whole body was almost stiff. Then she carefully adjusted her sitting position.

After relaxing, I discovered a problem.

"Brother, can you hurry up?"

This speed is not even as fast as her walking.

Gu Yuanshan continued to ride slowly. "Dad said I'd lose a piece of skin if I fell. How could I dare to go faster?"

Gu Chan: “…”

"Brother, do you want to ride the bike for a while longer?" Gu Chan exposed his little thought.

Gu Yuanshan chuckled and didn't deny it. "This opportunity is rare. When I go back, the second brother and your eldest and second sisters-in-law will be watching me. How can I have the chance to ride again?"

"And dad." Gu Chan said with a smile.

"Yes! And Dad! Dad wanted to pull me off the bicycle just now." Gu Yuanshan carefully avoided the stones on the road. The man in his thirties was as happy as a teenager.

The brother and sister chatted and laughed as they arrived at their destination.

Bicycles, especially brand new ones, are extremely conspicuous in any team.

As soon as the Gu siblings appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on them.

The little boy with good eyesight saw the person on the back seat of the bicycle from afar and shouted loudly to his friend.

"Big Stone, your mother is back!"

After hearing this, Dashitou said calmly, "Oh," and continued to look for the cicada monkey without getting up.

Just come back. His mother goes to his third uncle's house every once in a while, and he is used to it. What's so strange about it?

The little boy stamped his feet anxiously, "Big Stone, your mother is back on her bicycle!!"

The word "bicycle" is emphasized.

Dashitou's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly. "...Bicycle?"

"Yes, a bicycle."

Dashitou quickly covered the clay pot containing the cicada monkey and pulled his brother to a crowded place. His hair, which had grown to his eyebrows, fell back, revealing his smooth forehead.

He is somewhat similar to Gu Chan, both of them are handsome. If he were whiter, he could be the class flower.

"Uncle!" Dashitou saw Gu Yuanshan and called him uncle affectionately.

Little Stone was not as lively as his brother. He grabbed the hem of Big Stone's clothes and hid behind him without showing his head.

"This is my uncle, calling for help." Dashitou patted his brother's head.

"...Uncle." Little Stone shouted.

Dashi moved closer to the bicycle, but didn't dare touch it. He smiled with his big white teeth and said, "Uncle, this isn't the bicycle you bought, is it?"

"Where did I get the money? Your third aunt bought it for me." Gu Yuanshan explained with a smile. He felt his pockets and found not even a piece of dried sweet potato. He smiled awkwardly.

Careless.

The smile on Dashitou's face faded. He had some opinions about his third aunt. He felt that his third aunt bullied his mother.

Gu Chan was willing to help her brother's family, but there were always people in the village gossiping, and what they said was very unpleasant. Even though Wei's parents-in-law were kind, they couldn't help but complain.

Dashitou protected his mother and had a few fights with the kids who gossiped about his family. Gradually, the kids stopped talking.

but.

He can control the children with his fists, but he can't control the adults who like to watch the fun and make trouble.

Because of this, Dashitou had some complaints about his third uncle and aunt.

Gu Chan knew what her sons were thinking. She opened her cloth bag, took out two White Rabbit candies, and gave them to her two sons.

"Your third aunt gave this to you. It's a White Rabbit candy worth several cents. The eldest and second cubs said it's delicious. I'm giving it to your older and younger brothers."

Little Shitou didn't care about being shy anymore. He took the candy from his mother, held it in his hand, and said, "Big Brother and Second Brother are so nice!"

Dashitou glared at his brother.

Little traitor!
After watching Gu Yuanshan leave, Gu Chan took her two sons home.

Mother Wei had just finished feeding the chickens when she saw her daughter-in-law coming back and said, "I've left some rice in the pot for you."

"I ate it." Gu Chan said with a smile.

Wei's mother was shocked.

My daughter-in-law's sister-in-law never invites her to dinner, and she doesn't want to go back to her parents' home to beg for money, so she always comes back with an empty stomach.

Gu Chan's eyes were filled with smiles. "We ate at Zhao Zhao's house."

She took out the things that Lin Zhao had stuffed in her.

"These were forced upon me by Zhao Zhao." Gu Chan took them out one by one.

Canned meat, half a can of malted milk, a sausage, and some fruit candies, White Rabbit milk candies, and shrimp candies.

Mother Wei’s eyes widened.

Is his third aunt okay?
It was hard to say. After a moment's hesitation, he considered his words carefully. "What good thing happened to the two stones' third aunt? Why is she so generous all of a sudden?"

Big Stone and Second Stone also looked at their mother.

"Zhao Zhao has become a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative." Gu Chan said proudly.

With a clang, the gourd ladle in Wei's mother's hand fell to the ground. She was shocked and asked, "Salesperson?"

Gu Chan nodded.

Mother Wei clapped her thigh happily, "Liang Shitou's third aunt has become a city dweller! This is great."

As he spoke, he felt a pity, "Oh, it's a pity that we've already had lunch, otherwise I would have fried two eggs to celebrate."

After all, we are acquaintances. I won’t have to be looked down upon when I sell mountain products in the future!
Dashitou replied, "Grandma, we can celebrate by making scrambled eggs tomorrow."

Mother Wei was in a good mood, smiling with wrinkles on her face, "Okay."

The problem of the black koi will be solved soon. How can we let it run rampant? It will be solved in the next chapter, don't worry.
