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

Chapter 59 "Love the House and the Dog"

"I found a job making matchboxes and wanted to give it to my elder sister," said Lin Zhao.

Gu's mother had heard that the match factory in the city occasionally sent out work.

but.

Isn’t this job very difficult?

Many city people want it but can't get it.

"Is this true?" Gu's mother took two steps forward excitedly, staring at Lin Zhao with fiery eyes.

"Of course it's true. Sister Fen, who works as a salesperson with me, helped me find the job. I brought back the materials for making matchboxes and will deliver them to my elder sister this afternoon." Lin Zhao said slowly.

Huang Xiulan and Zhao Liuniang walked out of the house with dust on their heads.

"There is such a good thing." Zhao Liuniang's eyes lit up, and she was glad that she didn't care about it and had a good relationship with her third brother's wife.

Look, here comes the opportunity.

"Good luck." Lin Zhao smiled faintly.

"Zhao Zhao, if something good like this happens again, don't forget us." Zhao Liuniang said frankly.

While speaking, he looked at Lin Zhao nervously.

She knew how much Achan cared about the third wife and had been helping her continuously for more than four years. It was only right that the third wife should give her the job of pasting matchboxes.

She is not greedy.

I just thought that since there was work like pasting matchboxes, maybe they would come across other jobs. I hope they have the chance.

"Okay." Lin Zhao nodded.

Her two sisters-in-law from her husband's family are clear-headed and grateful. If there is a good opportunity, she will certainly be willing to help without any trouble.

"Thank you, thank you." Zhao Liuniang was delighted and thanked her repeatedly. "Every bit of income counts. Money is needed everywhere. I also want to save up a nice dowry for Yuyu."

Lin Zhao looked at her with a ridiculous expression, "Second sister-in-law, are you...thinking too far ahead?"

"Not far, not far at all." Zhao Liuniang waved her hand. "Children grow up in the blink of an eye."

"There are still ten years or so." Lin Zhao emphasized the time.

"Oh, it's only about ten years, it goes by very quickly." Zhao Liuniang still felt that she should prepare in advance.

Huang Xiulan also felt that it was fast. In her impression, Tiedan and Tiechui were still little monkeys crawling on the ground, but in the blink of an eye, they were able to run around the village!

Lin Zhao did not comment.

Sizi is not in a hurry to get married. She hopes that Sizi will consider the issue of marriage after seeing the vastness of the world.

Girls should not be short-sighted, it will lead to tragedy.

Lin Zhao respected her sister-in-law's opinion and said nothing more. Instead, she took out some papers and said, "Mom, this is the picture I drew. What do you think of it?"

Mother Gu sat down, took it and looked at it.

On the paper is a courtyard painted by Lin Zhao.

The painting is very good, and even she, a layman, can understand it.

There are several grand rooms with two sliding windows that open wide. You can imagine that the light in the room is good during the day.

The kitchen is still planned to be built in the original location. The stove and large chopping board inside are made of bricks and smoothed. A large cabinet is placed against the wall, making it look bright and clean.

What caught my eye was the outhouse, which was divided into two areas. The left area was for taking a shower, and the right area was a modified dry toilet, which was different from the ones in the village.

The pit is very deep, the bottom is treated for anti-seepage, and ventilation pipes are installed to reduce odor and fly breeding.

"Is this a toilet?" Mother Gu held up a piece of paper with a picture of a toilet on it, her face full of confusion.

"Yes, this is a clean way." Lin Zhao said.

She told her mother-in-law the benefits of improving the dry toilet.

Gu's mother said convincedly, "You have to be educated to know this. Wait until you've made it and let me see it. If it works well, I'll make one for our family."

"Gu Chenghuai should have extra bricks ordered. We'll bring them here when the time comes," Lin Zhao said.

Knowing that she never spoke empty words, the three women in the old house were very happy.

"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law." Zhao Liuniang's face was full of smiles as she praised Lin Zhao, "Big Sister, your new hairband looks really nice."

Being praised and complimented is always a happy thing. Lin Zhao was in a good mood. She took out two red hairbands from the storage ring in her pocket and gave one to Gu Lan and the other to Zhao Liuniang. "Second sister-in-law, this is..."

Before she could finish, Zhao Liuniang, while tying the hairpin, took over with a smile: "I know everything about the hairpin for Yuyu. I thank you on Yuyu's behalf. Our Yuyu also has a red hairpin."

A red hairband cost two cents at the supply and marketing cooperative, and she had originally planned to buy one for her child during the Chinese New Year.

The one her third aunt gave her was better looking and looked more expensive.

"You're welcome. I'll have to trouble my elder and second sisters-in-law next." Lin Zhao said politely.

Mother Gu carefully put away the drawing drawn by the third daughter-in-law and said, "Third daughter-in-law, I'll give it to your father when he comes back. I'll ask him to find a craftsman to build a house for you. I guarantee it will be bright and beautiful."

I don’t know where the old man has gone. He disappears when something important happens.

Gu's father, who was taking care of the child: "..." As the opera says, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.

"My parents are both capable and careful people. I feel at ease leaving this to you." Lin Zhao said softly with a smile.

Country people tend to be reserved in their words, unlike her who praises people so directly, but...

Mother Gu couldn't stop smiling when she was praised.

Lin Zhao didn't stay in the old house for long. She left after talking for a while.

After walking a few steps, I saw Erzai and the other kids lying on the ground with their little butts sticking out, seemingly digging something. Little Amber next to them imitated them and used her claws to dig, sending dirt flying everywhere and landing all over the kids.

"Second cub?"

Erzai heard a familiar voice, turned his head and saw his mother.

Worse!

His body stiffened and he got up from the ground in a panic. He looked innocent and stood well-behaved, completely unlike the dirty little kid who was playing in the mud a second ago.

Lin Zhao said nothing, staring at his hands.

Erzai immediately put his hands behind his back and explained logically, "I waited until the medicine dried before playing with it. If you don't believe me, ask my brother."

Although the eldest son didn't play, he felt guilty for not keeping his younger brother in check. He lowered his head and scratched his hands without saying a word.

"Just have fun." Lin Zhao was very positive. "You can wash your own clothes anyway."

"Where are the third and fourth cubs?"

The eldest boy replied, "My grandfather took him for a walk."

Erzai wiped the dirt off his cheek with the back of his hand and directly exposed his grandfather's thoughts, "I know, my grandfather thinks Sizai looks good in a bow tie, so he took Sizai to show off to his old friends."

"You know it again." Lin Zhao said slowly.

Erzai swung his legs and held his chin high. "That's right, I know everything."

The children around looked at the pretentious little guy with admiration.

"Who did you learn this leg shaking from?" Lin Zhao squinted at him.

"If your father sees this, he'll have to discipline you before tomorrow morning."

Gu Chenghuai wasn't as easygoing as she was. He was a stern and serious man who hated thug behavior like swinging his legs and whistling. If he saw Erzai acting like that, he'd at least call him over and make him stand in a corner for half an hour to reflect on his actions.

Erzai blinked his eyes. "What's training?"

Lin Zhao curled her lips and smiled, "You'll know when your father comes back."

"Brave boy, don't be afraid of difficulties." Erzi raised his arms, held his head high and chest out, instantly becoming stylish. "Any test given by the organization, I can complete it perfectly!"

The fair and tender little face was covered with mud spots, but her smile was brighter than the sun and she was in high spirits.

Lin Zhao couldn't argue with him and started to leave.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had to go to his elder sister-in-law's house, so he stopped and looked back at his two children.

"You two stay home. I'm going to your aunt's house and will be back before dinner."

The eldest took two steps forward and asked, "Mom, can I go with you?"

The second child couldn't sit still anymore. He slid in front of Lin Zhao. Because he ran too fast and stopped too abruptly, his small body leaned forward and he fell to his knees. "Me! Me! And me!! I want to go too."

"..." Lin Zhao raised her hand and pinched her brow, "I have something important to do."

I don't want to take care of children. It would be so troublesome to take care of two.

"I can help my mother with her work. I'm really useful!" Dazai tried hard to promote himself, speaking twice as fast as usual.

Erzai stood up and tried to hug his mother, but Lin Zhao dodged him with disdain, "Stand there and talk."

"...Okay." Erzai looked down at his dirty clothes and sighed. Other children in the village would have been spanked if their mother had done the same thing. His mother just disliked him, which was considered pretty good.

"Mom, it would be so boring for you to go alone. Take me and my brother with you. We can talk to you and you can use us if you need anything, right?"

He didn't mention a single word about going, but every sentence was about wanting to go.

"...It doesn't seem to be necessary." Lin Zhao refused again.

"I need it! I definitely need it!" Erzai twisted his body like a pretzel, "Mom, please, I miss my aunt..."

A passerby didn't understand what was going on and interrupted, "Erzai, your aunt isn't at your second uncle's house. If you want her, go to your second uncle's house. Your aunt doesn't do anything. She just eats and sleeps. Oh, and you can also go to the educated youth sites to look for male educated youth. If you go to these two places, you'll definitely find her. You don't even have to walk much."

After saying this, he carried his hoe and left.

Er Zai: "..."

Erzai's expression was simply indescribable.

The child's face showed disgust that anyone could see.

Feeling suffocated, she covered her mouth with her hands and said to the person who was speaking, "I'm talking about my aunt!"

Erzai was so angry that he emphasized again, "My aunt!!"

The uncle paused and waved his hand behind him to indicate that he understood and said, "Just tell me."

But didn’t his aunt just come a few days ago?
Lin Zhao looked at Erzai angrily and repeatedly emphasized the issue, and laughed in her heart.

This really means he has become an enemy of his aunt.

Dazai stood in front of Lin Zhao and tugged at the hem of her khaki floral shirt. "Mom, I miss Brother Shitou and Brother Shitou."

After saying this, he said no more and just stared at his mother with his pair of dark and bright eyes.

"Okay." Seeing that the two little brothers really wanted to go, Lin Zhao thought for a moment and simply agreed. He then said, "Go tell your grandma that we're going now. We have to move after dinner this afternoon."

"What are you moving for?" Erzai asked hastily, with a confused expression.

"We'll build the house next week, so let's move back to the old house first," Lin Zhao explained.

The twins' eyes lit up.

Erzai clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Great! I can see the hammer right away without having to walk any further!"

His hands were covered in mud, and when he clapped his hands, mud spots flew everywhere. Lin Zhao stepped back. "If you want to go, clean yourself up quickly, or I'll take your brother with me."

Erzai was afraid that his mother really wouldn't take him with her, so he ran home as fast as he could, and hurriedly washed his face and changed his clothes.

Lin Zhao ignored him, hung the materials for making matchboxes and a cloth bag on the front of the bicycle, and pushed it out.

The second child was about to go back to the house to apply baby cream, and he anxiously grabbed the door and shouted, "Mom, wait for me, I'll be right there."

After saying that, he hurried into the house, opened the baby cream, scooped a small amount with his fingers, and smeared it on his face while rushing out.

The eldest son came back from the old house running, holding something in his hand.

Seeing the bicycle at the door, he ran even faster.

"mother."

Lin Zhao looked at him and asked, "What are you holding?"

"My grandma made this straw mat so that I can put it on the back seat of the bicycle so that my butt won't shake." The eldest boy smiled.

"Your grandma really cares about you two." Lin Zhao sighed. He even thought of this and must have prepared in advance. He is worthy of being his grandma's beloved grandson.

The eldest cub smiled even wider.

He put the soft straw mat on the back of the bicycle. "My grandma said that she loves my family and my family too, and that she loves my family even though they are older than me."

"Mom, what does it mean to love someone and love their dog?" The eldest child looked over with puzzled eyes. "I was in such a hurry and forgot to ask!"

"Love someone and love his dog too." Lin Zhao helped him tie the straw mat, her eyes sweeping over her eldest son's round head.

The eldest cub grasped the key point, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "My grandma likes daddy more?!"

The kid received a second critical hit of 10,000 points, nearly breaking his defense.

"!!!"

Without waiting for Lin Zhao to speak, the eldest son lowered his head and fiddled with the straw of the straw mat with his hands, like a blade of grass that had been beaten by wind and rain and could not stand up straight.

"Mom likes Dad second, and Grandma likes Dad first. Why? What's so good about Dad?"

Every time, grandma would pinch her throat and shout, "My darling, my good little cub, it turns out that you like daddy more too."

His younger brothers and sisters are just incidental, and because he loves the house, he also loves the dog... "dog".

Before Gu Chenghuai even got home, his eldest son had already made two notes on him.

Lin Zhao bent down slightly and looked at him with amusement, "Mom wrote to your father and asked him to come back. You can see for yourself what's so good about him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eldest boy shook his head violently.

Her long, curly eyelashes fluttered rapidly.

"Dad has to defend our country, so let's not cause any trouble." He turned away and said proudly.

Lin Zhao gently flicked her son's eyelashes and praised him sincerely, "You are such a thoughtful child. Your father will definitely bring you gifts when he comes back."

The eldest child looked over suddenly, his clear eyes filled with a hint of anticipation that he tried to hide but couldn't. "What gift?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a surprise." Lin Zhao said casually.

A surprise, it must be something he has never seen before.

The older one was even more excited, with his pink little mouth raised and he hummed a tune softly.

Listen carefully, it was the song played by the loudspeaker somewhere when she took her two children to the county to watch a movie.

Erzai ran out in a hurry and tiptoed to lock the door.

After a click, he pulled the lock with his little hand. After making sure it was locked, he rushed to the bicycle and climbed onto the back seat.

He lifted his short right leg and pushed hard, but it was almost there.

No matter how hard I try, I still fall short.

Lin Zhao half-hugged his waist to help, and the child sat on it immediately.

"Thank you, Mom. When I grow one finger taller, I can get up by myself." While saying this, Erzai moved his butt forward until his soft little belly touched the seat in front.

He turned to the eldest son and said, "Brother, come up too. Is there enough space? If you get squeezed, tell me. I can hold my breath and pull my stomach in. I can hold my breath for a long time and won't squeeze you."

As he spoke, the child, who seemed to have endless energy, said in a tone of secret satisfaction: "Oh, who made me have a mother who is super good at cooking? I'm even gaining weight in my belly, hehe."

Erzai raised his hand and pinched his soft little face, smiling brightly enough to break through the mist, "Grandpa said I look more and more blessed."

The eldest boy secretly pinched his belly.

Well, it’s also soft. I’ve finally gained weight.

Give them more time, and they will definitely become the most blessed children in the whole village, oh no, in the whole brigade.

Although his mind was full of random thoughts, the eldest boy did not forget to use his hands and feet to climb onto the back seat of the bicycle.

Lin Zhao helped impartially.

"Adjust your sitting position, we are about to set off."

The eldest cub grabbed the car mat and held the second cub in his arms, raised his feet and reminded his younger brother: "Second cub, you have to lift your feet, like me, otherwise your feet will be caught in the wheel."

Erzai listened to the advice and raised his feet.

The two brothers look alike. They sit on a bicycle, one in front and one behind, with the older one holding the younger one in his arms.

Two brothers who love each other.
