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

Chapter 57 "Wait for Me"

Lin Zhao was amused by the little expressions of the four children.

The second child stretched out his arms, pretending to grab the children, and teased his sister, "You dare to look down on me? You're done for. Eat my claws!"

He bared his teeth and approached his sister.

The four cubs panicked and rushed into Lin Zhao's arms, crying repeatedly, "Mother, mother, save the cubs, save the cubs."

He was shouting "Save the cub" with an overly bright smile on his face. His crystal-like eyes curved into crescents and he was having a lot of fun.

The second child dared to scold his sister, but he didn't dare to scold his mother. He didn't dare to get too close and went to wash his face and hands tactfully.

"Mom, you got up so late. My brother and I are back from playing around."

Before Lin Zhao could say anything, the eldest son looked at his younger brother seriously, his tone full of disapproval, "Second son, Mom works hard to earn money, and it's so hard to get a day off."

Knowing that Erzai had several sets of dirty clothes that hadn't been washed, he acted like a big brother and said, "Erzai, let's go wash the clothes this afternoon."

Speak with confidence.

My every move has become more confident!

Lin Zhao gave a thumbs up.

The eldest boy blushed quietly, and the little man in his heart was jumping around and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Okay." Erzai agreed immediately.

Then he looked at Lin Zhao and said, "Mom, do you have clothes to wash? I'll help you wash them."

He raised his arms, showing off his nonexistent muscles, and smiled as brightly as the sun. "Now I can eat a full meal every day. I'm very strong now. I can help Mom with any work."

The limelight couldn't be all given to the second cub, so the eldest cub hurried to show off, "Mom, I can do it too, I can wash it clean."

"I washed it clean too!" Erzai shouted loudly.

The eldest cub's brows knitted together into a small pimple, and he puffed out his fleshy cheeks, saying righteously, "I'm the older brother, I wash it more cleanly."

Lin Zhao covered her face.

Son, this question doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether you are a big brother or not.

She thought Erzai would refute his brother harshly.

result.

Erzai's face turned darker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But he looked at Lin Zhao with resentment.

"Mom, why didn't you give birth to me first? I want to be a brother too."

After realizing that this statement was ambiguous, he added, "I want to be my brother's brother."

Lin Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're telling me a tongue twister. You're still calling me brother's brother. You want to be a brother? Don't the third and fourth cubs call you brother? You're not satisfied with just having two younger brothers and sisters. Don't be greedy, kid."

The second child felt aggrieved.

He stretched out his hand and made the sign of three, "But my brother has three younger brothers and sisters, and I only have two."

He looked at Lin Zhao expectantly.

Ok?
Why are you staring at her like that?!

A question mark appeared over Lin Zhao's head.

"?!"

Seeing that his mother didn't respond, Erzai sighed resignedly and asked politely, "Mom, can you give me another brother?"

"..."

ha?
What an unreasonable request!!
Lin Zhao's eyes were calm. She gently pinched Erzai's little mouth and manually closed it for him. "How can you say such cold words with such a warm mouth?"

"No?" Erzai pulled down his mother's hand and asked persistently, with a strange color in his eyes, as if they would instantly dim after being rejected.

Lin Zhao raised her lips, and before the child could laugh, she uttered three gentle yet firm words: "No!"

"But why?" Erzai hung his head like an eggplant hit by frost.

"Is it so easy to give birth to a child? Having the four of you is enough for your father and me." Lin Zhao felt that children's ideas came one after another, and sometimes they could give people a headache.

She continued, "Besides, even if I have another child, your brother will still have one more brother or sister than you."

"...Okay. Then I don't want it." Erzai thought so too and changed his mind.

Lin Zhao shook her head, really not understanding what the little guy was thinking about all day long.

The eldest child suddenly said, "I don't want Mom to have any more brothers or sisters."

Noticing his mother's gaze on him, he pursed his lips lightly and spoke clearly, "Lu Baozhen's biological mother turned into a little mound of dirt when she gave birth to Lu Baozhen. Grandma said giving birth to a child is a very dangerous thing. I don't want Mom to be in danger."

Children over five years old are all thinking about their mothers and regard their mothers' health as more important than anything else.

Lin Zhao's heart softened.

She touched the eldest cub's little head with a gentle look on her face.

Erzai shook his head quickly, frightened by his brother's words. He hugged Lin Zhao with panic in his eyes.

"I don't want Mom to be in danger either! No, I don't want any brothers or sisters anymore."

The twins looked at Erguoguo blankly, their little faces innocent.

Don’t know what they did wrong?
Lin Zhao turned her head and saw the facial expressions of the third and fourth cubs. They were babies less than two years old. They were holding a small cloth ball tied with several short red strings. Their mouths were slightly open, and their long and curled eyelashes were blinking. Their little eyes were full of confusion.

The little elf understood what his second brother said and was thinking about something.

After a few breaths.

The fourth cub held the cloth ball in his right hand, with the soft flesh on his elbow curled up into cute folds. He raised his left arm and touched his head.

Seeing this, Sanzai touched his sister's head with a serious face, and then touched his own head.

"What is this for?" Lin Zhao asked with a smile. Is it some strange ritual between children?

The fourth child retracted his hand and held the cloth ball with both hands instead. He tilted his head back and said in a baby voice, "Brother is tired, please comfort me."

Lin Zhao understood, "You're trying to appease yourself?"

"Yeah." The fourth cub responded heavily.

The third child also nodded, but the calm little fellow nodded only slightly.

Lin Zhao's heart almost melted at the cuteness. She also patted the little brother and sister's heads and said softly, "Mom will coax them too."

The twins, a boy and a girl, smiled with their eyebrows curved and their eyes filled with stars.

The second child squeezed over, put his head in his mother's hand, and nudged it hard, acting like a spoiled child, "Big friends also need their mother's care."

Dazai also moved a few steps to Lin Zhao's side, without saying a word, just looking at her with his dark eyes.

"Okay, okay, comfort them." Lin Zhao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and touched the heads of the eldest and second cubs.

What's the comparison? Children have a strange desire to win.

However, the joy of raising a cub reaches its peak at this moment.

The twins grinned.

After coaxing the four cubs, Lin Zhao took off the black rubber band and sat there combing her hair. Her hair was neither long nor short, draped over her shoulders, braided in front of her body, just reaching her chest.

The eldest child sat on a small stool, propped up his chin and watched his mother braid his hair.

The restless second cub snatched his sister's little cloth ball, causing the twins to chase after him. Seeing the little master running, Amber jumped and chased after him, and the children giggled, their voices like silver bells, accompanied by a few barks of puppies, and even the grass on top of the courtyard wall was filled with joy.

Dahuang lay under the eaves, his eyes following the twins, as if he could rush over in the first moment if any accident happened.

Lin Zhao braided her hair and put on a new hairband.

The hairband is dotted with red dots, which would make people with dark skin look tacky when worn. However, she has fair skin, which is enhanced by the red color, making her look as beautiful as a 17 or 18-year-old high school student.

"Mom, you look beautiful." The eldest boy's eyes sparkled, "Mom, I like you to dress beautifully."

Lin Zhao pretended to be distressed, "Being beautiful comes at a price. People always say I'm a spendthrift."

The eldest boy frowned, anger showing on his face, "I am not a spendthrift. I work so hard every day."

"Mom can't sleep in. She's so sleepy every day. She cooks delicious meals for us, makes clothes for me and my second son, makes bags for my third and fourth sons, and also takes care of building the house. She's the best mom ever."

He grabbed Lin Zhao's skirt, his eyes serious, "Mom, don't listen to their nonsense. Grandma said that people who like to gossip about others are jealous."

"I'm still young and can't make any money. Let Dad make money for Mom first." When he said this, the eldest son secretly curled his lips, with an expression of dissatisfaction that his father got the better deal.

Gu Chenghuai, who had just boarded the train, sneezed and rubbed his nose with his bony fingers. Thinking of his wife back home, a hint of a smile flashed across his dark eyes, cold as the moon. He looked out the window: trees, low houses, vast expanses of weed-covered wasteland... He quickly retreated.

The train starts moving.

--wait for me.

anyway.

After the eldest son finished complaining about his father who couldn't protect his mother, he continued without leaving any room for error: "When I grow up, I will make a lot of money and give it all to mother. You can spend it however you want."

Erzai also said loudly: "I want to make a lot of money too."

The kid even thought about how to make money. "When I grow up, I want to drive a truck and go to the city to buy thermoses, brown sugar, big red dates, cloth..." He counted on his fingers and listed the goods he wanted to import.

Then he added, "I also need to find Tiechui, Tieniu, and Yuanbao and have them drive with me. If we buy more, we can earn more."

Lin Zhao looked at him in surprise.

Can we say that he is worthy of being the future transportation tycoon!
Five and a half years old and thinking so far ahead!
"How did you come up with that?"

The second child gave his mother a proud look, looking quite proud, with his hands behind his back, and an imposing manner of three meters and a half.

"No need to think about it."

"My grandfather said that the city has all the good stuff, and the brigade is short of everything. If anyone has a car, they can buy a load of good stuff and sell it in the various brigades. They will definitely make a sack of money."

"When the time comes..." He paused skillfully and added excitedly, "Mom, you can enjoy great happiness with your good second son!"

And there is more——

After his grandparents lie on the small mound, he will make a coffin for them made of mahogany.

Erzai heard about the mahogany coffin from an old man in the village. The old man said that every old man wanted one.

His grandparents must want it too!

Father Gu & Mother Gu: "..."

No, they don't want to.

"Where does the car come from?" Seeing that Erzai was too proud, Lin Zhao gave him a small problem. As a result, the child did not have time to mention the matter of the mahogany coffin.

Hearing his mother's question, Erzai remained calm. He tapped the ground with his right toe regularly and said confidently, "I'm so smart, I can definitely get a car. It's no problem."

"...Then I wish you success." Lin Zhao was speechless. With such momentum, nothing could be impossible.

Seeing that the eldest son also had something to say, he turned to ask his eldest son: "What do you want to do in the future, eldest son?"

The eldest boy's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was nervous, but he still bravely met her eyes and said, "I want to fly a big plane."

"Is it okay?" He looked expectant, wanting his mother's approval.

"Of course you can," Lin Zhao responded immediately, her eyes encouraging him. "Your ideals are great, Dazai. I support you. Maybe one day our whole family will be able to ride on a plane you pilot. It would be wonderful if that day ever came."

The eldest child's tense face broke into a happy smile. "I will try my best. I will try to let Mom sit on the plane I drive as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Erzai hugged his brother's arm and shook it hard, "Brother, I'm still here, I'm still here."

"Stupid, you are also the whole family that mother talked about." said the eldest son.

"Stupid!" A crisp child's voice sounded from the side.

It turned out to be the usually quiet Third Cub.

"Well, you dare to be so disrespectful and call your brother stupid? Let me show you how I'm going to teach you a lesson." Erzai waved his non-existent sleeves and pretended to tickle the little kid.

The third cub was not like the fourth cub. When he saw his second brother posing... he was about to jump into his mother's arms and ask for a hug. He looked at his second brother calmly.

The second child's playful spirit was instantly dampened.

After withdrawing his hand, his face was full of self-doubt.

"...!?"

The second cub is fearless and is the older brother, so why doesn’t he dare to tickle the third cub? It doesn’t make sense.

Lin Zhao burst out laughing.

When his father comes back, Erzai will probably know where the uncomfortable feeling he has right now comes from.

The third child looks more and more like Gu Chenghuai. He has an aura that makes people afraid to act rashly.

Especially his eyes, dark and calm, almost exactly like Gu Chenghuai's.

Even Gu's father said that sometimes when he saw Sanzai, he always felt as if he was seeing his own third son when he was a child.

The third child in his family is also mature beyond his years of age. He acts like a little adult when he is just over five years old. He refuses to be held by others and never allows others to interfere with things he is capable of doing.

Among the four cubs, the third one looks most like his father.

They look alike and have similar personalities.

"Are you hungry? Have you two eaten since you got up?" Lin Zhao asked the eldest and second sons.

"I shared an apple with Erzai, and a fried dough twist with Tiechui. I'm not hungry." Dazai replied.

"I'm glad you're not hungry," Lin Zhao said. "I noticed you two shared all your food with Tiechui, and didn't share any with Laimei and the others?"

"Yes." Erzai gestured with his fingers, his face full of pain, "I gave them this much."

He sighed dejectedly, "Ah, there are so many people in our Gu family. That half a fried dough twist is not enough for me to eat, and I have to share it. Oh, it's so bitter, so bitter!"

Lin Zhao's cheeks ached from trying to hold back her laughter. "Tell me, where are you suffering?"

"Hey, I'm not suffering. I'm just imitating Grandpa, the team leader." Erzai said with a smile, "Grandpa, the team leader, says this when the harvest is bad. It's suffering, too much! I work hard all year and only get this little grain. It's suffering."

"How did I not hear it being said?"

Erzai's smile widened. "Mom doesn't go to the fields, so of course she doesn't know."

He half covered his mouth and said mysteriously, "Grandpa Captain didn't say it in front of everyone. He said it when he was alone."

"And you heard it?" Lin Zhao laughed.

"Yeah." Erzai said suddenly without saying anything, which scared the captain.

"It's hard, but it will get better," said Lin Zhao.

"...will it be okay?" Erzai looked at her seriously.

"Yes, you always like to listen to your grandparents talk about the past. You have heard about how your grandparents' lives were when they were young. Compared with now, aren't they much better?" Lin Zhao intentionally or unintentionally guided her son to think for himself.

Erzai pretended to ponder for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

Then I became confused again.

"My grandfather said..."

He imitated Gu's father's tone and said, "Life is getting better and better."

Then his tone of voice returned to normal.

"Captain Grandpa said again that it's bitter, too bitter. Who is right?" Erzai scratched his stubbled hair.

"What do you think?" Lin Zhao asked back.

The eldest son interrupted, "Both are correct. My grandfather believes that not being bullied and not working like a slave for the landlords is the way things will get better. Grandpa, the team leader, feels sorry for the crops in the fields and the farmers who work hard all year and still can't even get enough to feed everyone, so he complains about hardship."

He looked at Lin Zhao, "Isn't that right, mother?"

"Yes, that's a very good answer. You two are both children who can think, that's great." Lin Zhao praised.

The two children were very happy.

"Mom, you said it will get better. When will it get better? Tell me quickly. I want to tell Tiechui and the others and make them happy too." Erzai rubbed his hands excitedly.

“…” Do you think your mother is a prophet?

but.

The book says that in twenty or thirty years at most, this land and this country will undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Ten years, until you are about to go to college." Lin Zhao was afraid that saying twenty or thirty years would make her children feel hopeless, so she simply said ten years.

He is not wrong. In ten years, when the college entrance examination is resumed, life will get better for many people.

"Ten years, I..." Erzai counted on his fingers and soon figured it out, his eyes shining, "I'll be the same age as my uncle. By then, I'll definitely be a college student."

"College students, they're bound to make a ton of money."
