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

Chapter 65 "Division Division Division"

"???"

The moment a string of question marks popped up in Lin Zhao's mind, she looked carefully and saw a line of explanation below the four words.

After reading it, her expression was a little complicated.

"A little pill to cure love-brain.

No additives, no side effects, refreshing taste, similar to mint.

Are you still worried that your child is a love-slave, a love-brained person, or a slave to love, making his father worried, his mother annoyed, and his grandparents cry?
Come on, give him some medicine, one pill for life, and raise him to be a clear-headed, independent child. You deserve it."

Lin Zhao: “…” She felt like this pill was damn good for her.

after all.

In the original book.

The eldest, second, and fourth cubs were all... not so sober.

The text introducing the pill did not disappear for a long time.

Lin Zhao felt the cold ridicule and was a little speechless. He clicked to extract and put it into the storage ring, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

Then draw another shot.

"Advanced dog food x 500 catties.

The taste is great, it’s a dog’s favorite.

A friendly reminder, this dog food has magical effects, so explore it yourself."

Lin Zhao: “…” You’re still keeping us in suspense!

Both draws were unsatisfactory, but both were useful.

In fact, what she wanted most was an ointment to remove or lighten scars. Children have delicate skin, and she was worried that the teeth marks on Erzai's hands would always be with her son.

After these two draws, there are only 58 points left.

Once back to before liberation.

Lin Zhao didn't do anything else. She lay down quietly, hugged her fourth child and closed her eyes.

Everyone in the Gu family's old house fell asleep, and a faint light was coming from the room of the Wei family's second branch.

The two stones were wearing patched shorts and sleeping soundly. Occasionally, they were bitten by mosquitoes and would scratch the itchy areas in a daze.

The skin that was not exposed to the sun was scratched with red marks by their dog-bitten nails.

"Smoke some more mugwort. The two stones are biting me and I can't sleep well." Gu Chan stopped pasting matchboxes, massaged her brow bone with the back of her hand, turned her head to glance at Wei Xiangdong next to her, and spoke in a low voice.

After working for three hours straight, my eyes were so dry that I couldn't even cry.

She closed her sore eyes, opened them again, closed them again, and opened them again, repeating this several times to relieve her fatigue.

Wei Xiangdong stood up and went into the house to burn mugwort, focusing on his wife.

Half a minute later.

Gu Chan looked at the man helplessly and reminded him again, "Smoke some on your son as well."

Wei Xiangdong frowned.

"What's a real man afraid of mosquitoes? Those two little ones are sleeping like dead pigs, and their bites can't wake them up."

Is this the reaction a father should have?
Even though she already knew her man's temperament, Gu Chan still choked.

"Do you want to smoke?" She glared.

Wei Xiangdong stared at his wife intently. After a few seconds, he looked away and went to the bedside to smoke.

The brat is thick-skinned and not a little girl. Why does he need to be fumigated with mugwort? There is no need to be so pretentious.

After giving a perfunctory wave of his hands, Wei Xiangdong sat back next to his wife.

Gu Chan estimated that it was getting late, so she glanced at the man and said, "Why don't you go to bed first? I'll finish making these and then go to bed."

Wei Xiangdong didn't listen and made matchboxes with her.

He hated doing manual labor the most. If he was asked to do this kind of work that required him to sit down and do it slowly, he would rather hunt in the mountains or work in the fields.

However, Wei Xiangdong was reluctant to let his wife do it all.

So he took the initiative to learn from Gu Chan. During the process, he failed one and got a cold stare. Fortunately, he finally learned it!

"Didn't your third sister-in-law say she wasn't in a hurry?" Wei Xiangdong yawned and said casually, "You're not planning on finishing all this in one night, are you?"

"But it has to be finished." Gu Chan retorted in a low voice, her voice a little hoarse.

She patted the remaining materials on the table and said, "Finish this stack and go to bed."

It's a rare opportunity to make money. It's just the beginning, so I have to perform well.

This opportunity is so hard to come by for Zhao Zhao.

"Why don't you go to sleep first and I'll make these." Wei Xiangdong felt sorry for his wife.

Gu Chan shook her head, "Let's make it together. Finish it early and go to bed."

Wei Xiangdong said nothing more, lowered his head and started to write faster.

After finishing my work, I lay down feeling dizzy, and my waist, neck and arms ached so much that I wanted to run away from home.

Being so tired, of course I can't get up on time in the morning.

People in the countryside go to bed early and get up early.

A little after five o'clock, the doors of each room opened and footsteps were heard one after another.

Mother Wei glanced at the tightly closed door of the second room, frowned, said nothing, and took the wooden basin to wash clothes.

"Lazy! A room full of lazy people!" Mrs. Wei cursed in a low voice towards the second room.

Knowing that her brother-in-law was in the room, she didn't dare to be presumptuous and could only satisfy her desire with her mouth.

A clear young voice came from behind.

"Or I'll call my father and mother out so that my aunt can talk to her face to face." It was impossible to tell whether Dashitou was happy or angry in his tone.

He stood there, staring at Mrs. Wei with his dark eyes, with no expression on his face.

Little Shitou stood behind his brother, stuck his head out to glance at his aunt, then looked away in an instant.

With his dad at home, he wasn't afraid of his fierce aunt. The little guy encouraged himself and clenched his hands into fists.

Mrs. Wei was startled and opened her mouth to curse, but the wooden door one meter behind her creaked.

"Why don't you come back to the house after peeing so that I can treat you?" Wei Xiangdong leaned against the door frame and looked at the two stones.

"No need, I'll be right there." Big Stone ignored his aunt and walked slowly towards his father, with Little Stone following behind him.

Return to the house.

Wei Xiangdong asked his two sons to stay away from the bed so as not to wake his wife. He lowered his voice and asked, "What is that woman nagging about now?"

"They said we are a house full of lazy people." Big Stone complained.

"Fuck!" Wei Xiangdong cursed.

Damn it, who is the lazy one? !

Achan is much more diligent and quick-witted than that troublemaker!
"Okay, before we split up, you two can play however you want and don't have to do anything. Whoever wants to do the housework can do it." He was very angry.

"Split up the family?" Dashitou's eyes suddenly lit up and his tone was expectant.

Wei Xiangdong covered his mouth, glanced at the bed, and seeing that his wife was not woken up, he let go of his upset son.

"What! You don't want to split up?" he said deliberately.

"How could I not want to!" Dashitou spat twice to get rid of the salty taste of sweat in his mouth, and stared at his father like a little wolf cub, as if he wanted to scratch him a few times.

He endured it and asked, "When will we split up?!"

Little Shitou also had a lot of questions in his mind. He sat down next to his father and frowned, "Dad, if we split up the family, where will we live?"

Wei Xiangdong pulled his youngest son's skinny face, which had little flesh, was dry and not easy to pinch at all.

We have to divide the family quickly and go up the mountain to get some meat. The two little boys are too skinny and they may not grow taller. He is a little worried.

"We've split up the family, why are we living here? Let's move out."

Little Shitou was a soft-hearted boy. He didn't dare to refuse even when being bullied by his father. He just looked at Wei Xiangdong pitifully with his pair of black eyes as clear as a spring.

Brother Shitou couldn't bear to see this, so he rescued his weak brother and secretly glared at his father, "Dad, where can we move to? You won't let us live in the cowshed, will you?"

He just asked one question, and before Wei Xiangdong could answer, he asked the second question, "Does our family have money?"

Wei Xiangdong glared at him, "You mean to ask if there's enough money for you two to go to school after we move out?"

Dashitou said seriously, "I want to go to school for the sake of our family!"

"Dad, you didn't graduate from elementary school, so this is how your life will be."

"I'm different. Mom said I'm smart and can study. If I study hard, I'll definitely be able to change my fate."

"When I learn some skills, I will take my mother to the city."

I heard that city dwellers who live in high-rise buildings can eat meat several times a month, and women don’t have to work in the fields.

He must take his mother into the city!
"Boom!"

Dashitou was hit on the forehead. He covered the place where he was hit, gritted his teeth, and was so angry that he wanted to run away from home.

"You have no respect for your elders." Wei Xiangdong felt no guilt at all when teaching his son a lesson.

What do you mean this is how his life will be? He is only in his early thirties and hasn’t even lived half of his life!

"Put your heart back in your stomach. I promised your mother that any of her children who want to study can study and can study as long as they want."

He can afford it.

"My brother and I are benefiting from Mom's help again." Dashitou was being cunning and mean to his father. Wei Xiangdong didn't hear it and looked at him with a look that said, "You know it's good. So you two must be filial, otherwise..."

He shook his fist, which was as big as a sandbag.

Dashitou looked at him with disdain, "..." Dad is so childish!
Little Stone muttered, "...Dad is so fierce!"

At noon, Wei's mother found out that the second son's family did not go to work. She calculated the work points lost in her mind and felt so heartbroken that her whole body was shaking.

Bang bang bang on the second room's door.

The person who opened the door was Wei Xiangdong, who was yawning and standing there without looking up.

"Mom, what are you doing? Just knock on the door. Why are you doing it so hard? If you break the door, I'll have to fix it. What's wrong with you? I'll go back to sleep for a while."

what?
Still need to sleep!
Mother Wei was so angry that she hit her son and shouted, "Still sleeping! The sun is shining on your butt and you're still sleeping!"

"If you don't go and earn work points, what will you eat and drink? Hurry up, pack up, and come with me to work this afternoon."

"No." Wei Xiangdong interrupted his mother's nagging.

"My sister-in-law said that our whole family is lazy. Since she said so, we might as well just lie down." He spread his hands, looking indifferent like a bachelor.

Mother Wei choked and cursed her eldest daughter-in-law in her heart.

"With her personality, why are you arguing with her...

Before she could finish her words, Wei Xiangdong interrupted her listlessly, "I have a bad temper and I can't stand being wronged. I won't go, not go, not even if I don't have food to eat."

The words fell.

He turned around and went back into the house, closing the door casually.

Mother Wei pushed hard with her hands and said loudly: "What do you want to do? Ah! I can't control you. Don't lead Achan and the two stones astray."

"I want to split up, tonight." Wei Xiangdong stated his purpose.

He looked at his mother and said, "I don't want to endure it anymore! As long as the family is not divided, I won't go to work, my wife won't go, and the two of us won't go. We will just eat white rice and be lazy."

Mother Wei was stunned.

The second child couldn’t even endure it for half a year?
"Didn't you say we'd wait until the end of the year?"

Wei Xiangdong was in a bad mood and spoke in a bad tone, "It's not that I can't stand it, it's that some people deserve a beating. Mom, if you don't want your family to be in turmoil all day, you should break up early."

His wife agreed to let him go up the mountain. If he didn't want to give the eldest wife a bargain, he would have come back with a rabbit in his left hand and a chicken in his right hand!

The man's disgusted gaze drifted past the door of the main house, and he continued without leaving any gaps, "If it weren't for you, mother, I would have moved out with my wife and children five years ago!"

"It's boring. This life is boring."

He was fed up with Mrs. Wei who always came out to pick a fight with his wife, and his brother who always played dead and let his wife do whatever she wanted.

And there is——

If you want to do something bad at night, there are two cold stones standing there. They are so annoying!

Wei's mother had no idea of ​​the little thoughts hidden behind Wei Xiangdong's irritable face.

She also knew that the eldest son's wife had an annoying temper, but the old man wanted his children and grandchildren to be around him.

It’s different after the family splits up.

“Dong…”

Wei Xiangdong made a stop gesture, "It's no use calling Xi, I want to split up the family."

There was no point in pretending to be pitiful. Mother Wei looked embarrassed and put away her pitiful eyes. "Divide, divide tonight, divide you all."

She glared at her son fiercely and said, "I can't control you, an unfilial son, and I don't want to. Let the two stones come back often to visit."

"Or you let them stay." Wei Xiangdong sneered, but his expression was serious and expectant.

The corners of Wei's mother's mouth twitched. She didn't want to talk anymore and turned away.

The little old lady ran very fast.

Divide, divide, divide, divide immediately.
-
Early the next day.

After washing up early in the morning, Lin Zhao planned to go to the kitchen to make two bowls of noodles for breakfast, but she saw Huang Xiulan coming towards her and handed her a freshly made fried egg.

"Third sister-in-law, don't you like the fried eggs I make? Try it and see if it still tastes the same as before." She rinsed the chopsticks and handed the bowl and chopsticks to Lin Zhao.

It's already there, so you don't have to make it again.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Lin Zhao sat down and started eating. There were two poached eggs in the bowl. The soup was very special. It was Mrs. Gu's exclusive secret recipe. It contained sesame oil and a few green vegetables as garnish.

Delicious and beautiful.

She nodded with satisfaction.

Huang Xiulan smiled and quickly heated up the steamed buns.

The Gu family eats little in the morning, just half a whole grain steamed bun per person and some water. The early morning is gone, and they are just waiting for the lunch meal.

Food is in short supply. If all three meals were the same as last night, the food jar would have been empty long ago!
Lin Zhao quickly finished her soup. Tiedan quickly came to get the bowl. When he saw the greasy bowl, his mouth widened.

She knew what he was thinking and wanted to pour some water into the bowl and drink it as egg drop soup.

"Don't pour the water to drink!" Lin Zhao stopped him.

Tiedan's eyes instantly lost their light. He held the bowl with a pleading look on his face and said softly, "Aunt San, just pretend you didn't see it."

I had a good meal last night and digested it overnight, but I’m still hungry today. Children who can’t always eat good food are of course greedy.

"No," Lin Zhao said in a gentle tone, which was the coldest word to Tiedan. He drooped his head. "But it's such a waste."

Tiedan stared at the residue in the bowl and couldn't wait to lick it.

Lin Zhao couldn't bear to watch it. It was nothing for them to do that normally, but she couldn't get over the fact that they couldn't eat her saliva.

"Don't eat it. I'll ask your mother to make you some noodles and a fried egg for each of you."

Afraid that the greedy cat Tiedan would pretend to obey but actually disobey, he immediately said: "If you don't listen to me, there will be no share for you."

Tiedan pulled his eyes away from the bowl, licked his lips, and leaned forward: "Really?"

He gestured excitedly with his hands, "Is it those long, thin white noodles? The kind that Da Zi and Er Zi were talking about?!"

Tiedan is seven years old this year, and it is the age when he can eat. There are many children in the Gu family, and it is impossible for them to eat their fill. No wonder he even craves dog food.

He had little flesh on his body, and his face was shriveled. Because he was always running around the mountains and fields looking for food, his face was dark and shiny.

"Yes!" Lin Zhao said softly.

Tiedan stuffed the bowl into his mother's hands without saying a word and looked at her eagerly, "Third Aunt?"

He didn't lick the bowl. Where are the noodles? Can we eat them now?!

Huang Xiulan was so angry that she twisted her son's ear when she saw how greedy he was.

"Don't worry about this kid, Third Sister-in-law. At his age, when he's hungry, he won't leave anything behind even if he eats a lot, and he's always complaining about being hungry. Don't worry about him, he'll be gone in the morning."

Being born in the Gu family, I could at least eat until I was 70% full, while other children in the village could only eat until they were 50% full.

Tiedan was about to cry.

Is it easy for him to eat a mouthful of white noodles?!

The seven-year-old looked at Aunt San nervously, clasped his hands together, and almost stopped breathing.

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration. People who have never tasted white noodles are really greedy!

Lin Zhao laughed dumbly and handed the noodles to Huang Xiulan. "Here, go! This is my first day back in the old house. I'll treat the children."

Hearing this, Tiedan jumped up and down happily, "Thank you, Auntie San. I will help Da Zi and Er Zi wash clothes today."

Yesterday the twins said they wanted to do laundry because they didn’t have time to move, so they said they would do it today.

"Okay, thank you Tiedan for your hard work." Lin Zhao said with a smile.

"Washing clothes is not hard." Working in the fields is hard.

Seeing his mother cooking noodles with his own eyes, Tiedan happily went to call for help.

Lin Zhao went back to the house to get some eggs for her sister-in-law. Seeing that it was almost time, she pushed her bicycle out to work.

The children of the Gu family had instant noodles to eat as soon as they woke up, and they were so happy that they almost fainted.

White noodles.

This is white noodles, without any black noodles mixed in. I took a big sip and it was so delicious that I wanted to cry. Is this really a delicacy in the world? ! !
"White noodles are so delicious! Grandma, when can we eat them every day?" Tiedan drank the soup with great care and wiped away the sweat from his forehead.

How could Mrs. Gu know? Who doesn’t want to eat white noodles every day?
She didn't discourage the children, but said, "Study hard and become a high school student. Then you can eat commercial grain like your third aunt, and you can eat it every day."

The children of the Gu family took these words to heart.

Especially Bangbang.

He is about to enter the fifth grade. He has never paid much attention to his studies and has always been average in exams.

He didn't have such a deep understanding of how going to school could change his destiny before. But after his third aunt suddenly became a city dweller, he suddenly woke up. He read books when he was free, and did this for several nights in a row, which shocked Gu Yucheng and Zhao Liuniang.

"Bang bang, I heard from your third aunt that you will be taking the junior high school entrance exam in the next year?" Mother Gu remembered something and asked.

Bangbang nodded. "Yes, the higher-ups have issued a document stating that the school system will be changed. They'll implement the 'Five-Four' system, meaning five years of elementary school, two years of junior high school, and two years of high school."

Mother Gu thought about it and said, "It will take nine years to go to high school."

"That's right." Bangbang said.

He wanted to go to high school, or at least junior high school. What his third aunt said was right, academic qualifications are the stepping stone.

When those factories recruit workers, their educational background can eliminate most people. Everyone must have graduated from junior high school or high school.

Mother Gu did some calculations in her mind. It would cost a considerable amount of money to support each child until they graduated from high school.

I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it too carefully.
