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

Chapter 50 "Do You Think I'm Dead?"

Gu Chan brought back so many good things that Mrs. Wei felt as jealous as if she had eaten wild hawthorn.

A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she took the initiative to attack, "The family hasn't been divided yet, so the things my second brother and his wife brought should belong to the public."

Although it was a question, the tone of the voice was very affirmative.

Wei Xiangdong sneered, and the look he gave him was full of aggression.

"The things my sister-in-law brought back from her parents' home don't belong to the public, but what my wife took does count. How can you be so arrogant!"

"Sister-in-law is so skilled at taking advantage of others. Her ancestors were in the logistics department of the Eight-Nation Alliance, right?"

"You bully my wife in front of me, do you think I'm dead?"

Mrs. Wei had just said one sentence when she was rebuked. She was so angry that her mouth twitched. She had never been able to win an argument with him, so she went back to her room in anger and slammed the door, which shook.

"Tsk!" Wei Xiangdong snorted disdainfully.

What kind of person is this? How dare you bully his wife?

Mother Wei had a headache and said to Gu Chan, "Achan, ignore them. Go back to your room and rest."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house.

"It's right to ignore your sister-in-law, but you can't ignore me. I'm your man." Wei Xiangdong took the cloth bag from Gu Chan's hand and led her into the house.

Close the door after entering.

Feeling resistance, a hint of surprise appeared in his dark eyes, and he exerted a little force with his arms.

Dashitou's helpless voice was heard outside the door.

"Dad, my brother and I haven't entered the house yet."

Wei Xiangdong let go of his hand, the wooden door was pushed open, and the Stone Brothers stepped forward and stood on the threshold.

Land was not valuable in the countryside, and every household had a large plot of land for their homestead. Wei's parents had toiled for most of their lives, building these five mud houses and finding a wife for their son.

The five rooms are not small in size, but the simple wooden lattice windows are narrow and the doors are narrow double doors, so two people cannot walk through side by side.

The most eye-catching thing is the knee-high camphorwood threshold under the door. It is firmly placed there to prevent mice from entering the house. It has been polished to a shiny black color over the years.

"Aren't you two going to catch cicada monkeys?" Dad said with disgust.

Gu Chan patted the man's arm.

Wei Xiangdong has been working all year round and his arms are strong, so his slaps hurt her hands.

She said, "Why are you catching cicada monkeys? It's time to get ready for bed."

With their mother's support, the two stones passed by Wei Xiangdong with proud expressions.

"Mom, I want to see what canned meat looks like." Dashitou said bluntly.

Wei Xiangdong lit the lamp.

A family of four sat around the bed, a warm yellow halo of light spread out, and shadows of different lengths were cast on the window, exuding a unique warmth.

Gu Chan took out the things she brought back.

"Look. These are what your third aunt asked me to bring back. She said they were for you to eat."

"Big Cub and Second Cub also said that you two are welcome to go to the Harvest Brigade to play."

She knew that Dashitou had some grudges against her third brother's family, and tried her best to comfort her son.

Dashitou turned his face away and said in a stern tone, "I'm not easy to bribe."

Then, he muttered, "No one can bully my big stone mother!"

Wei Xiangdong heard this and patted his son's shoulder. "You have a good understanding. A man should protect his mother."

Dashitou curled his lips and didn't want to pay attention to his father.

After seeing this, Wei Xiangdong pinched his son's mouth and made it into a duckbill shape.

The boy was furious and pushed his hand hard, glaring at him fiercely.

"Little brat, why are you pretending to be an adult?" Wei Xiangdong teased his son.

Dashitou saved his mouth and didn't want to pay attention to his father.

Move the stool away from Wei Xiangdong.

He asked Gu Chan: "Mom, why do you like my dad? He is so childish. Apart from being able to work, looking okay, and protecting his wife, he doesn't have any other advantages."

Gu Chan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What you said are already great advantages. What else do you want?"

She doesn't want anything else, just that the person is hardworking, clear-headed, and protective of the family. That's enough.

Wei Xiangdong glanced at his son, leaned against the cabinet, and said lazily, "You know nothing. Your mother and I are a match made in heaven. Otherwise, how could I have fallen for her at first sight when there are so many people in the county?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Chan was so angry that she hit him. Her face was burning. She said to her two sons, "Don't listen to your father's nonsense."

Little Stone smiled and said, "But Dad told us a long time ago."

Gu Chan looked at the big rock.

Da Shitou nodded. "I can almost recite it by heart. Dad and Mom first met in the county. They were attracted to each other, and then they started dating. They dated for half a year and got married. Then I was born."

"..."

Gu Chan looked at Wei Xiangdong subtly, "Is that what you said?"

"It's a shortened version, that's not wrong." Wei Xiangdong said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, his wife spat at him.

"Shameless." Gu Chan scolded with a smile, "Why don't you tell me that I thought you were a hooligan at first, and when I saw you, I wished I could grow eight legs and run away."

Wei Xiangdong smiled and said, "I just omitted the process."

"..." Gu Chan gave him face and did not refute him.

She was in a good mood, and the corners of her mouth were raised when she was wiping the mat.

This was her first time coming back from the Harvest Brigade, and she was so happy.

Wei Xiangdong hopes that the family will behave themselves and stop harassing his Achan.
-
The third branch of the Gu family.

The second child was still awake, avoiding his sleeping brothers and sisters, and rolling around on the bed.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Lin Zhao asked with a smile.

Erzai somersaulted and sat up, "Mom, the bed smells so good, it smells like the sun."

"...You can smell it through the mat, so your nose is really sensitive." Lin Zhao joked.

Erzai is good at taking advantage of others. "Yes, my nose is as sharp as Dahuang's."

Lin Zhao found that he was particularly excited today. He was so excited that it was almost ten o'clock, but he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

Can not be done.

She also wants to participate in the lottery.

"Second son, if you still have energy, why don't you practice writing two pages of calligraphy?" the mother suggested seriously.

The invisible tail behind the second cub suddenly exploded, and his smiling eyes instantly became alert. He lay down without hesitation, turned over, hugged the third cub, hooked his index finger on the thin blanket, and covered his own and his brother's belly.

The next second, he started snoring.

Lin Zhao laughed, "Are you asleep already?"

No one answered.

He sighed with regret, "Let it go if it's time to sleep. The second child can't write as well as the eldest child, so he needs to practice more."

With a loud crash, someone's heart was broken.

The second child who was pretending to be asleep froze up, his brows furrowed. He didn’t like writing!
The eldest boy knew that his mother was teasing his younger brother, so he smiled secretly and put the pillow away.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao blew out the light, lay down on the edge of the bed, and gently fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan.

As the wind blew, the twins slept more soundly, and the older and younger cubs also fell asleep without realizing it.

After hanging the mosquito repellent sachet I drew on the handle of the wardrobe, there are fewer mosquitoes in the room. I no longer hear the annoying buzzing sound when I sleep at night.

I don’t know if there is a time limit. If not, I don’t even need a mosquito net!

The children were all asleep. Lin Zhao put down her palm-leaf fan and called out the lucky draw wheel.

Last time she drew a little red string and put it on her children's wrists, she felt much more at ease when going to work.

Because of this, we can confirm that this lucky draw wheel that came from nowhere is not a beautiful piece of waste and is of great use.

In the task bar on the right side of the turntable, a series of tasks were checked and then disappeared. At the same time, the points increased.

[Entertain the best sister-in-law in the entire commune, gain Dashitou's forgiveness, and be rewarded with 100 points.]

Seeing the task completion reminder, Lin Zhao realized that Dashitou had a grudge against her.

Not surprising.

She has indeed not been a human being in recent years.

[Invite your best sister-in-law to eat meat and get 20 points as a reward.]

[Use the supply and marketing cooperative platform to buy a defective coarse porcelain bowl and help your in-laws solve the problem, and you will be rewarded with 60 points.]

Also, when Gu's mother was injured, Lin Zhao asked her eldest and second sons to go to the old house to deliver supplements, and they also received points as a reward.

And some miscellaneous small rewards.

Total 568 points.

Looking at the number of points, Lin Zhao directly drew the one with 500 points.

Same as before.

The pointer keeps spinning as if challenging one's patience.

finally.

Stop slowly.

"camera"

Three words, an extremely concise introduction.

Lin Zhao had been photographed by Gu Chenghuai, so she knew about this thing.

I'm quite satisfied with this draw. I was planning to take my four kids to the county to take some photos later.

Now that we have cameras, we can take pictures however we want and as many times as we want.

The more Lin Zhao thought about it, the happier she became.

When the words "Do you want to withdraw" flashed on the lottery wheel, I chose yes.

A black Seagull brand camera costs 180 yuan if you buy it outside, and you have to save up for tickets.

I heard that cameras require film, and the money spent on a roll of film can buy dozens of meals, which shows how expensive it is.

Along with the camera, a roll of film and an instruction manual were also retrieved.

Lin Zhao couldn't sleep at all.

She stood up, tiptoed to the desk, turned on the light, adjusted the lighting, and sat down to read the instructions.

After reading it quickly, he took out his camera and started studying it.

Her ability to learn is not just talk.

In less than half an hour, I knew how to use the camera very well.

It's the lack of practical experience.

The charm of electronic products is self-evident.

Lin Zhao turned her head and glanced at the four children who were sleeping soundly on the bed, her eyes shining.

Isn't this ready-made?

She readjusted the lights so that a warm yellow glow filled the entire room.

Walk over with your camera.

On the wooden bed.

The second cub hugged the eldest cub, with his right leg domineeringly placed on his brother's belly. The eldest cub slept well, lying straight with his arms on his chest. I don't know if he was dreaming or was being pressed by his younger brother, his little brows were slightly wrinkled.

Move your gaze upwards to the twins.

The third cub hugged the fourth cub from behind. Their two fair and tender faces were rosy and their cheeks were plump with flesh growing out, making people want to kiss them.

Lin Zhaoxin was so cute that the curve of her mouth became higher and higher.

Grab the camera, find the right angle, and take two pictures.

I still felt unsatisfied after taking the photos, so I found a new angle and took a few more photos.

A photo of twin boys and girls.

Photo of the twins.

Every angle.

When I came to my senses, I raised my wrist to check the time.

23: 30.

"?"

Lin Zhao came to her senses from her emotions.

Put away the camera.

Go back to bed and close your eyes.

After having a great time at night, you can imagine how difficult it will be to leave your beloved bed the next morning.

The next day.

The eldest son opened his eyes, turned his head, and saw Lin Zhao's figure. He was stunned for a moment, then calmly moved the second son's foot off his neck, sat up, and took the watch that his mother had placed on the big cabinet.

The night Lin Zhao bought the watch, she taught her two children how to tell time.

At this time, the watch shows the time: 7:10.

The eldest child opened his eyes wide, returned to the bedside, shook Lin Zhao's arm, and shouted anxiously: "Mom, you're going to be late for work! Wake up!"

Lin Zhao opened her eyes dazedly. "What time is it?"

"It's past seven."

"!!" Lin Zhao woke up with a start, took out his watch and looked at it, he was about to be late!

I got up quickly, went to the next room to change clothes, quickly washed my face and brushed my teeth, and applied facial cream in just half a minute. I braided my hair, asked my eldest son to feed Dahuang, and pushed the cart out quickly.

As soon as he went out, his legs almost left a shadow as he ran straight to the county.

35 minutes later, they stopped at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. Lin Zhao looked at her watch and found that she was not late!
After locking the car, she walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Sister Fen, morning."

"Comrade Wang Ju, good morning."

Lin Zhao greeted the two of them.

Li Fen noticed the dark circles under her eyes and teased her, "Did you steal last night?"

She pointed to her lower eyelid.

"My eldest sister-in-law came home yesterday, and the kids couldn't sleep and made a fuss late at night." Lin Zhao said casually.

In the Harvest Brigade, the eldest boy who had just put on his clothes rubbed his itchy nose and sneezed.

Li Fen seemed deeply moved. "Those children of yours are difficult to manage right now. Just get through these few years and they'll be fine."

"..."

In fact, her cubs are very easy to take care of and not difficult at all.

Lin Zhao smiled but said nothing.

Li Fen knew that she was a respectable military wife. Both her husband's and her own family were from the countryside, so she must have had a hard time. Thinking of the news she had heard last night, she leaned towards Lin Zhao and whispered, "I have a job here, pasting matchboxes. I pay 2 cents each. Does anyone in your family want to do it? If..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Zhao said, "Yes! Someone!"

There are many people in the city vying for this job. The opportunity is right in front of you. It would be stupid to miss it!
She happily held Li Fen's hand and said, "Sister, you are really my sister. Thank you."

Li Fen smiled and said, "We are a revolutionary family. We should help each other."

"My husband works at the match factory, so it's just a casual thing."

It is hard work to make money by pasting matchboxes. It requires high concentration, and it is tiring for the hands and eyes. If you paste for a long time, you will see double images at night. You will be exhausted and may not even earn 5 cents in an entire night.

The pressure at home is not that great, and no one wants to do it.

"Your afternoon..." Li Fen stopped talking when she saw Liu Chunhong coming. She gave Lin Zhao a look that said she would talk later and returned to her counter.

Lin Zhao smiled gratefully and got busy.
-
Harvest Brigade.

Huang Xiulan took the twins, a boy and a girl, to the fields, and the older and younger twins happily played hide-and-seek with the children in the village.

The two brothers hid behind a century-old camphor tree at the foot of the mountain.

He hid for a long time and was not found.

Erzai scratched the mosquito bite on his neck, looked down and saw a swollen mosquito resting on his arm. He killed it with a slap without mercy and threw the body to the ground.

"Brother, let's go home. There are so many mosquitoes here."

The eldest boy had originally disagreed with hiding here, but after hearing his younger brother's words, he nodded and said, "Okay."

The two brothers walked around the thick tree and headed towards the road.

No one has cleaned up the foot of the mountain. There are thick branches and leaves piled up under the trees, and stones are hidden in the leaves. Some small stones are unwilling to be lonely and pop out.

"Crack!"

The toe of Erzai's sandal got caught on something, and he fell to his knees on the fallen leaves that were piled like a carpet.

He looked confused.

After coming to his senses, he wanted to see who on earth had the audacity to trip him, Gu Erzai.

I squatted there, picking up the ginger-colored leaves on the ground. No one had been here for a long time, and there were many insects hiding under the leaves.

Erzai was not afraid at all and did not take their lives. He calmly pushed them aside and continued to look for the culprit who caused him to fall.

The eldest boy didn't like bugs. Seeing his younger brother busying himself, he sighed softly and squatted down to help him.

"I found it! It must be this protruding stone that tripped me." Erzai found a large stone and threw it away angrily.

He stood up and brushed the dirt off his hands.

The eldest boy ignored him and continued digging something with his hands.

"Brother, what are you digging?" Erzai squatted over curiously.

The eldest boy kept moving and said, "...It looks like a box."

After saying this, he raised his head and said, "I think this is a good thing."

nice one!?!
The second child was filled with surprise. He ran away, picked up the stone he had thrown away, and ran back, "Brother, let me help you. The point of this stone can be used to dig holes."

The eldest boy moved aside and let his younger brother do it.

Erzai raised his arm and hammered down hard, again and again.

Using tools is really fast.

Soon, a small pit appeared in the place, and in the pit was a rectangular wooden box.

The two brothers worked together to take out the box.

"It's so heavy." Erzai said as he looked around for a way to open the box, but to no avail.

"Can't open."

The box is ochre in color and only about a foot long. The body of the box is carved with delicate and exquisite patterns. Although the gaps between the patterns are filled with soil, it does not affect its beauty.

"Mom can open it." Da Zi said, "Let's take it back. This box is beautiful. Mom will definitely like it."

"Okay." Erzai had no objection.

I don’t know what’s in this wooden box, it’s very heavy and the two kids have to carry it to move forward.

After going around the old camphor tree, I saw the main road leading to the village, and suddenly a person appeared in front of me.

She was wearing a bright red round-necked shirt, had two small braids, and smiled at them.
