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

Chapter 58 "Good Things"

"Are you so greedy for money?" Lin Zhao walked into the kitchen and spoke to the eldest and second sons through the window.

In the yard, the fourth cub was running around grabbing the big yellow cat's tail, and the third cub was squatting in the corner, writing and drawing with a branch, and could stay alone for most of the day.

Erzai laughed out loud, accepting his mother's evaluation and feeling proud.

"Yeah, I'm a money fan. Tieniu, Yuanbao, Tiechui, Dazhuang..."

He read out a list of names.

“We are all money-obsessed.”

At the end, his tone became more conscientious, "It's good to have money. With money, you can buy meat, candy, and new clothes."

Even at this time, he did not forget to flatter her: "You can also buy her a skirt, a hundred of them."

One hundred is a lot for him!
The eldest looked at his younger brother seriously and said, "Second son, it's my goal to buy a skirt for mom. Why are you competing with me? Why don't you buy something else?"

He was so angry that he refused to give in to Erzi and shouted, "I'll buy Mom a plane full of skirts."

The second child also felt a little aggrieved and said, "...but Mom loves skirts the most. I don't know what else to buy."

Lin Zhao hesitated.

Is she most fond of skirts? How could she not know?

The eldest cub is wavering.

He frowned in confusion, leaned his arms on the windowsill, jumped hard, and put half of his body in.

"Mom, besides skirts, do you have anything else you like best?"

Wait first.

Lin Zhao's expression was a little subtle. "Who told you that I like skirts the most?"

The eldest boy looked at his mother carefully and said, "My aunt said so."

Of course there was more than just this one sentence, he didn't remember the others.

"Don't you like skirts, Mom?"

Lin Zhao thought that Gu Xing'er was definitely not just talking about the skirt, but was probably using the skirt to scold her.

The thought flashed through her mind for only a moment before she put it behind her.

She is an unimportant person, why bother with her?

“It’s not that I don’t like it, but it’s not my favorite.”

"What does mother like the most?" The eldest cub stuck out his little butt and kept his body stretched inward.

The second kid next to him followed suit.

Two identical faces, staring at Lin Zhao.

What else could Lin Zhao say? Suddenly, she had an idea and said, "I like myself the most."

The eldest and second cubs had no objection.

I think that's how it should be.

Lin Zhao glanced at the expressions of the two little brothers and was quite surprised to see that they were both nodding.

She thought the two cubs would be disappointed.

The eldest boy smiled at his mother and said happily, "I am just like you. I like you the most, too."

Lin Zhao believed this.

Children’s world is so small, and mother’s influence is the most important.

Erzai also said, "I like Mom the most, too. I like her even more than White Rabbit candy."

"...Thank you." Lin Zhao thanked him insincerely.

"You're welcome. What's my second favorite thing?" Erzai asked, his eyes full of anticipation and burning with fire.

Lin Zhao said gently, "Of course it's your father."

Without a father, where would the four cubs come from, right?

Hearing this, the two boys felt as if the things they cherished in their hearts were shattered again and again. The light in their eyes suddenly disappeared, adding to their sadness.

"Why?" Erzai asked in shock.

"Why?" Lin Zhao was at a loss for words. Comrade Gu Chenghuai hadn't done anything wrong, so how could he have offended the two brats like this?

Erzai still couldn't accept it and didn't dare to believe it, "Why does Mom like Dad second most?"

"Your father is my husband, so it's natural for me to like him. Why can't I like him?" Lin Zhao asked back with a smile, her hands moving non-stop, lifting the lid of the pot and putting the wontons into it.

"Dad doesn't help Mom with the work, so why does he come in second? My brother and I didn't even come in second." Erzai complained aggrievedly, his voice elongated. "Mom, please, move Dad down and put me up there. I'm the second kid, so I should come in second."

Without waiting for Lin Zhao to respond, the eldest son argued, "Second son, I'm older than you, so the second place should be mine."

Erzai felt his brother's words made sense. He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "...Okay, then I'll be third. No one will ever snatch the third place from me."

The two children arranged their own places in their mother's heart. They were both very satisfied and happy, so much so that the invisible tails behind their buttocks were wagging wildly.

Lin Zhao had nothing to say.

Ok.

As long as you two are happy.

This topic is over.

The two kids slid down from the windowsill, brushed off the dirt on their clothes and trousers, and ran into the kitchen.

"Mom, let us help you watch the fire." The two brothers said in unison.

Lin Zhao did not stop it.

Soon after the water boils.

She said, “Almost.”

"So fast!" Erzai blurted out.

"Because they are small wontons, the skin is very thin, and you can eat one in one bite," said Lin Zhao.

I got the wontons before going to bed last night.

It can be considered a noodle gift pack.

Wontons, steamed buns, flower rolls, pot cakes, sesame cakes, brown sugar steamed cakes...

Fortunately, I took a photo of my family before and earned 200 points.

We are getting closer to the lottery with 500 points each time.

"Wontons?" Erzai stood on tiptoe and looked. He saw the bowl of steam rising from it. In the mist, the shape of the wontons appeared in his pupils. "Mom, I've never had wontons before. Are they delicious?"

"It's delicious. It has noodles and meat, how can it not be delicious?" Lin Zhao quickly served the wontons and brought them to the yard.

The twins were still young, so she had to be careful. She crushed the meat and dough, and only let the two little ones eat by themselves after making sure they were cool.

The things won in the raffle are always of good quality. The wontons tasted great and the whole family enjoyed the meal happily and contentedly.

After dinner, the eldest son went to wash the dishes. The second son wanted to follow to help, but was stopped by Lin Zhao.

"Wait a minute, Erzai, let me see your hands."

Erzai turned around, walked up to Lin Zhao, and held out his hands. "What are you looking at?"

Lin Zhao ignored him and looked carefully at the teeth marks on his hand.

After a night, not only did the small tooth mark not disappear, but it still looked a little swollen and had dark blue bruises.

"You bite so hard." Lin Zhao frowned, and showed impatience at the three words "Lu Baozhen".

What kind of hatred and grudge is that? He is so cruel at such a young age. I wonder where his values ​​are twisted!
"Stay away from Lu Baozhen from now on."

Erzai nodded obediently and explained, "It's far away. My brother and I run away when we see Lu Baozhen. Tiechui also runs away when he sees us running. We don't play with Lu Baozhen."

Lin Zhao's expression paused slightly.

Not wanting her son to become a bully, she paused for a moment before saying the words she was about to say. After careful consideration, she said gently, "It's okay if Tiechui learns from you. The three of you are so good that you can wear the same pants, but the others..."

She placed her hands on Erzai's shoulders and said seriously, "If other children are playing with Lu Baozhen, don't disrupt it."

Erzai raised his head and laughed, "My brother told me so."

"My brother said that children shouldn't be too domineering. He also said that if I targeted Lu Baozhen, I would be a bad kid and my mother wouldn't like me."

At this point, his smile faded and he asked in confusion, "Mom, I don't have a needle. Why did my brother say I was using a needle against Lu Baozhen?"

"Pfft—" Lin Zhao burst out laughing.

Erzai looked at her accusingly.

The voice creates small waves.

"Mom~~~~~" he cried sadly.

"Targeting doesn't mean you point the target at others. Targeting means you specifically target one person and deliberately pick on him..." Lin Zhao explained while suppressing a smile.

If you don't listen carefully, you will have many opportunities to make a fool of yourself.

After saying this, she went back to the house to get the ointment, shrugging her shoulders.

Erzai's expression became more and more resentful.

Feeling humiliated, he waited for Lin Zhao to apply the ointment to him, but his mind raced, trying to save face. "I know what targeting means. I'm just trying to make my mother happy."

Lin Zhao didn't expose the truth and pretended to be surprised, "Is that so?"

"Yes, that's right." Erzai emphasized. Seeing the ointment on his hand, he frowned, "Mom, I don't like applying ointment. I can't do anything after applying it."

"What else do you want to do?" Lin Zhao glared at him. "Take good care of it, and don't take everything with your hands."

The second child's sitting posture instantly straightened up, and he replied honestly, "I know."

At this time, Dazai walked out of the kitchen.

"Mom, the dishes are clean."

"You're really capable." Lin Zhao praised him and said to Erzai, "Erzai, your brother washes the dishes in the morning, and you wash them at noon."

Erzai never shied away from work, "Okay!"

"Woof..." Dahuang suddenly barked.

A little boy with clever eyes stood at the door.

"Iron Ox!" Erzai shouted as he ran towards the door, not forgetting to say to Dahuang: "Dahuang, this is my good buddy, an acquaintance."

Dahuang knew Tieniu, so he just called out to him to remind his master, and then lay down in his luxurious wooden nest with his eyes closed to rest.

Lin Zhao had returned to the house to retrieve her camera.

"Where does Tie Niu want to shoot?" she asked softly.

Tie Niu had already thought of it, "Under the big banyan tree."

Ok.

Lin Zhao had no objection, "Let's go."

A group of people went out and walked towards the big banyan tree. When they arrived, they found that the tree was full of people.

Unlike usual, there were not only aunts and grandmothers, but also uncles and aunts. There was also a row of young boys, their hair washed and combed, wearing clothes with minimal patches, and rarely any dirt on their bodies or faces.

"...What are you doing?" Lin Zhao asked in surprise.

The captain's wife occupied the best position, ensuring that she would be photographed.

She smiled and said, "Oh, just do your thing and don't worry about us."

What? I’ll just do what I want!

The expression of speechlessness on Lin Zhao's face was so huge.

She stared at the people in the front row, staring at each person for more than two seconds.

The person who received her special care smiled brightly without moving an inch. He was so calm, almost too calm.

joke!

Knowing that they were going to take photos here, they hurried over and even washed their hair before coming. Can’t you see that some of the people’s hair is half wet!
If I didn’t get the Yuanbao photo, I must get the Tieniu photo.

Taking photos is expensive, and they would rather buy meat with the money. They are reluctant to spend money and can only try their luck.

tractor:"……"

Lin Zhao retracted her gaze and looked at Tie Niu. "Tie Niu, would you like to have so many people standing behind you in the photo?"

Tie Niu looked over.

There were so many people, some of whom he couldn't even remember their names. They looked at him eagerly, and the child was so frightened that he shivered and almost blurted out, "Sir, human traffickers want to kidnap the cows."

I almost remembered this was in the brigade.

"...I want to be alone." Tie Niu said.

Grandpa said that if you have to pay, you must take the best photo.

He glanced at the people under the banyan tree, his face full of displeasure, "There are too many people here, I want to stand out."

When the people under the banyan tree heard this, they all started showing off their unique skills.

The uncle with short hair took two steps forward, took out a palm-sized pink hydrangea from somewhere, and tied it to Tie Niu's chest.

"Oh, it's easy to stand out. I'll tie a red ball around your neck and make sure you're the most conspicuous."

He stretched out his rough hand and rubbed Tie Niu's head affectionately: "Niu, if you have any requests, tell me. If you want to climb to the top of the banyan tree, I will help you..."

Tie Niu touched the hydrangea and was flattered.

Another tall old man stepped forward and without a word, he put the iron bull on his neck and said, "Isn't this conspicuous enough? I'll carry you."

Before Tie Niu could react, his vision changed and the child looked confused.

"These people!" When the old ladies saw that these grown men had broken their promise, they actually came forward and surrounded Tie Niu.

One older woman even held out a broken and tied-up red hairband and said, "Tie Niu, I'll tie a knot for you. It will make you stand out."

Tie Niu was terrified and quickly hid, "I don't want it, I don't want the girl's red hairband."

"Hahahahahahaha..." Dazai, Erzai and Tiechui laughed loudly.

Tie Niu blushed when he heard his friends' laughter.

"Click!" A sound.

"Okay." Lin Zhao put away the camera and said calmly.

I didn't charge for this photo, I just felt it had vitality, so I pressed the shutter.

Hearing the "click" sound, everyone turned around to look at Lin Zhao.

Everyone knew that Cheng Huai's wife was not easy to mess with, so no one dared to complain loudly. They just mumbled all kinds of things under their breath.

"Ah? It's all right now? I didn't even get a haircut."

"Me too, my collar is crooked."

"I'm even worse off. I was blocked by someone and couldn't see Dazai Niang even if I stood on tiptoe. If I couldn't see her, the camera certainly couldn't capture me. Sigh, it was my first time taking a photo in my life, and I missed the chance."

……

Several people pounded their thighs in frustration.

Hearing about what happened here, the captain hurried over and saw his grandson's face full of despair. What else could he not see?

"No wonder you worked so efficiently today. Your minds are all here! What do you want? Go away." The team leader angrily drove them away.

The members of the brigade knew that this was not a fair act on their part, so they smiled awkwardly and left quickly.

In just a few breaths, the people under the banyan tree disappeared completely.

The team leader knew that Lin Zhao had a bad temper, so he quickly explained, "No one in the village has ever had their photo taken. I wanted to rub my face with you. Please excuse me."

"Nothing." Lin Zhao replied casually, and gestured to Tie Niu to stand under the tree. "Tie Niu, you can go over there now."

The depressed Tie Niu suddenly became happy, jumped and ran to the banyan tree, stood still, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Click!" a sound sounded.

"All right."

Tie Niu thanked him politely: "Thank you, Aunt Lin."

"You're welcome." Your team leader grandpa gave you the money, Lin Zhao added in her heart.

After taking pictures of Tie Niu, Lin Zhao asked the eldest and second sons to take care of their younger siblings, and she went straight to the Gu family's old house.

When she arrived, Mother Gu was instructing Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu to vacate the house.

"The third son's wife is here. Please stay away from her. The dust is too thick and it might stain your clothes."

The house they vacated was originally the third room, which was the wedding room of Gu Chenghuai and Lin Zhao. After the family split up, Lin Zhao insisted on moving out to live alone, so Gu Qingzhou lived in this room.

"Why do you want to vacate the room?" Lin Zhao had just asked when Gu Lan moved the best stool to her third aunt.

Lin Zhao sat down and didn't offer to help, just watched from a distance.

The three women in the Gu family didn't think it was a big deal. The third daughter-in-law loved cleanliness and beauty, and would never do such dirty work. They all knew it.

"Move your things out first, and we'll clean up later." Mother Gu instructed her two daughters-in-law in the house and explained to Lin Zhao, "We're making room for you and your four kids. We're going to build a house, aren't we? After much thought, I still think it's best for you and your four kids to live at home."

At the end, he didn't forget to confirm again: "Is it okay?"

Living in the old house is indeed convenient. Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Okay."

"When do you plan to move?" asked Gu's mother.

"Let's move after lunch this afternoon." Workers at the supply and marketing cooperative only have one day off a week, and I have to go to work tomorrow. After work, I don't have the energy to do anything else and just want to lie down.

"Okay." Gu's mother responded, and then said to Huang Xiulan and Zhao Liuniang, "Eldest son's wife, second son's wife, after dinner, you two take the eldest and second sons to help. The third son is not at home, so the whole family has to help out."

Huang Xiulan smiled and said, "Need you to tell me? It's just a matter of helping out. We'll go over after dinner."

"Don't worry. I have something to talk to my elder sister about at noon, so I should be out." Lin Zhao said in a gentle tone.

"Achan?" Mother Gu looked hesitant.

"Ah."

"You look for Achan..." Mother Gu wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Lin Zhao took a sip of the boiled water that Gu Lan had poured and said casually, "It's not a bad thing."

So don't be so nervous.

"What good news?" Gu's mother racked her brains but couldn't think of any good thing that the third son's wife could have done by looking for Achan.
