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

Chapter 74 "Your mother has the final say"

Lin Zhao noticed Sanzai's different reactions. She pulled her youngest son in front of her and looked at him with a smile in her eyes. "Sanzai likes dictionaries?"

Sanzai held the thick and heavy dictionary in his small hands and nodded slightly.

A soft and cute little voice sounded, and he said word by word: "I like it, Sanzi likes it."

Lin Zhao put her arm around Sanzai's shoulders. The little boy was so small, it felt like she was holding him in her arms.

"A dictionary is something that each of you can use. If you like, take it. When you're older, Mommy will teach you how to use it."

The third child has always been quiet and seldom asks for anything. Although he is at the age where he can no longer hold his urine, he rarely wets the bed. When he wants to pee, he gets up on his own, uses a small pot, and after peeing he doesn't go anywhere and climbs back into bed obediently. He is less of a worry than the already well-behaved twins.

At this moment, after hearing his mother's words, the child who had just started to walk seldom made any requests.

"Mom, I want to learn." His little face was serious, his chubby cheeks were slightly puffed up, and he looked serious and earnest.

"You want to learn now?" Lin Zhao touched her youngest son's cheek and asked in surprise.

"Yeah!" Sanzai nodded heavily.

He rarely cared so much about something, so Lin Zhao naturally satisfied him and said softly, "Okay, it's too late today. I'll teach you tomorrow, okay, baby?"

When facing such a well-behaved son, it would be a sin to speak a little louder.

The third child's distinct black and white eyes suddenly curved, and a smile broke out on his chubby face. The smile had the power to heal people, and he looked clean and bubbly.

He took a step forward with his small feet, stretched out his two arms as tender as lotus roots, and hugged Lin Zhao, "Mother."

His tone was calm, and only because he was young, he had a softness that was unique to children.

Lin Zhao could foresee that the third cub, who was so bubbly, could only be seen for a few years at most. When he grew up a little, he would definitely be more calm than his father. No matter how much you teased him, he would not laugh and would just look at you helplessly.

Just thinking about this, a sense of melancholy suddenly welled up in my heart.

While her son was still young and couldn't run well, she kissed his little face.

The third child looked at his mother quietly.

Lin Zhao kissed him again, her eyes full of joy, "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you let me kiss you?"

At this time, Erzai, who had suffered a huge blow, walked over quickly.

He raised his little face slightly, offered it to her, and said coquettishly, "Mom, kiss me."

She turned around, glanced at Gu Chenghuai with resentment, then withdrew her gaze and burrowed into Lin Zhao's arms, pouting and saying something that was inexpressibly aggrieved, "I don't like the gift Dad gave me at all. I need Mom's kiss to comfort me."

The smile in Gu Chenghuai's eyes suddenly disappeared. He grabbed the back of Erzai's neck and pulled him over.

"Besides, why are you in such a hurry?" he said.

"You are five and a half years old, not a two-year-old kid. Stop bothering your mother all the time."

Especially kissing.

The second child was interrupted and looked at his father doubtfully, "There are more gifts?!"

Gu Chenghuai forcibly took the man away, took out a few comic books from his luggage and stuffed them into his hands.

"Comic books. Five-year-olds should read more books, otherwise they will be deceived." His face was stern.

Erzai's head started buzzing when he saw the book, all because of the aftereffects of the dictionary.

He didn't want to answer.

Resistance is written all over my body.

But no way.

His father is looking at him.

Erzai put on a fake smile and took the book reluctantly. He flipped through it perfunctorily and full of resentment and accidentally saw a picture in the book.

The child's eyes lit up, and the smile on his face gradually widened, until the corners of his mouth almost reached the back of his head.

"Brother, there are pictures in the book!"

"It's the storytelling book that mother mentioned!"

The eldest boy quickly rushed to his younger brother's side, looked over, and became excited when he saw the painting.

It’s a true storybook!

"Thank you, Dad!" After politely thanking Gu Chenghuai, he said to Erzai, "Erzai, let's watch it with Tiechui and the others tomorrow, okay?"

The second child responded crisply: "Okay!"

Gu Chenghuai followed the brothers' decision and took out a few comic books.

"The Shining Red Star," "Song of the Mountain Eagle," "Four Crossings of the Chishui River," "Landmine Warfare," "Railway Guerrillas"...

All of them!
The twins were overjoyed. They held the picture book and carefully placed it on the desk.

Lin Zhao tied her hair loosely behind her and came over to help them tidy up. She smiled and said, "When the house is finished, you will have your own room. Then I will have someone build you a bookshelf to store your books."

Erzai happily hugged his mother's waist, his voice like honey, "Mom is so good."

A few steps away.

Gu Chenghuai began to give gifts to his beloved daughter. On the left, there was a pink dress, on the other, a small hat, then small hairpins, red hairbands, and even more outrageous, there was a rag doll the size of her arm.

The fourth child loves his doll the most. He holds it tightly and won’t let go. His smile is sweeter than cotton candy.

She waved to his father as if she wanted to whisper something.

Gu Chenghuai gently pulled up his trouser legs and half-knelt, keeping his upper body straight and his posture upright. His voice was low and soft, "What's wrong?"

The little boy's eyebrows were curved, and he put his arms around his father's neck. His furry little head rubbed gently against Gu Chenghuai's neck and shoulders, and his old father's heart melted.

Gu Chenghuai's dark eyes were gradually filled with bright light.

When the twins saw this, they pouted.

Sanzai sat on a small stool, flipping through the dictionary seriously, not knowing what was so interesting about the Chinese characters.

People are most afraid of comparison.

The eldest and second oldest were originally quite satisfied and happy, but when they saw their father bringing so many gifts for their sister, the good brothers couldn't help but feel jealous, as if they had eaten a sour fruit.

Erzai knew that his mother was the only one in the family who could control his father. He pulled Lin Zhao's hand and shook it a few times. His eyes dimmed and lost their former luster.

He complained to his mother feeling aggrieved.

"Mom, please control your man. He is partial."

Not only did he file a complaint, he also had evidence.

She said confidently, "My dad gave my sister six presents, six in total, with all sorts of things. Look how thoughtful he was! But all he gave us boys was a dictionary and a comic book, not even a candy bar. Mom, are we his biological children?"

"Are boys so worthless in our family? I don't accept that Dad prefers girls to boys!" The second child became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He stiffened his neck, glanced to the side, and his mouth was pouting so much that a small oil bottle could be hung on it.

It seems like there is a bit of bias.

Lin Zhao frowned and looked at Gu Chenghuai, giving the man a look that said, "You are indeed biased."

Gu Chenghuai didn't explain much, turned around and took out a pair of DHS table tennis rackets and three small yellow balls from his luggage bag.

"Biased? Then give me these ping-pong paddles, Bang Bang."

The eldest and second oldest children had never seen this thing before, but they vaguely felt that it was something interesting.

The clever second child ran over and climbed up using his hands and feet as if his father were a tree, trying to hang on to Gu Chenghuai.

She called him dad affectionately and repeatedly.

"Dad! Dad! The best dad in the whole team, what is this? Is this also a gift you brought us? What is it for? I haven't even seen it before..."

"Dad, my brother and I are your sons. We don't know anything. It's you... and Mom's face that's being embarrassed. Give it to us."

Seeing there were two of them, the eldest child guessed they were playing with two people, probably two kids each holding a paddle, hitting the ball. His mind raced, imagining how to play table tennis. He said, "Dad, my mom is usually bored. Once the second child and I learn how to play, we can play table tennis to entertain her."

After hitting a straight ball, he politely asked, "So, can you give us the ping-pong ball? Erzai and I will cherish it."

The second child, who was hanging on Gu Chenghuai, was still shaking left and right, "Daddy, please, Daddy, Daddy..."

To put it nicely, this look shows that he is flexible and adaptable, but to put it bluntly, he is a bit shameless.

Gu Chenghuai stood still like a mountain. No matter how his son made a fuss, his body remained straight and unmoved like a cold pine tree on a high cliff.

He calmly made a request, "For the next month, listen to me and get up early to exercise with me, and I'll give you two this pair of table tennis rackets."

Lin Zhao thought that it would take at least a week for the cubs' father to "train" the two cubs, but she didn't expect it to be so early, not even an entire night!
The exercise he mentioned was not standing at attention, but running and jumping. You would be exhausted as a dog at the end of the day and sleep like a dead pig at night.

but.

She didn't interrupt. The eldest and second cubs were his biological children, and Gu Chenghuai would definitely find a training method suitable for the two cubs.

"That's no big deal!" Erzai puffed out his chest and raised his head, standing like a little poplar in the woods, with a confident smile on his face. "My brother and I can do it. It's just exercise. We'll do whatever you say, Dad."

He flexed his nonexistent arm muscles, his eyes gleaming with sincerity and frankness. "I want to become stronger to protect my mother. This little bit of suffering is nothing. It's simply, that little bitch..."

Although it was stuck, its small body looked particularly reliable and trustworthy under the light of the kerosene lamp.

The eldest child added, "Easy means very simple."

"Yes, yes, it's easy." Erzai didn't mind that his brother was better than him.

In his heart, his brother is his brother. His brother came into this world several minutes earlier than him, so it is normal for him to be smarter than him.

"I will study hard too." Dazai said solemnly.

Gu Chenghuai nodded with satisfaction, "I'll give you two the first task."

The two children stood up straight, as if they were given some sacred mission. Their tender little faces looked towards their father, their eyes filled with anticipation and suppressed excitement.

"Take my younger brother and sister to bed."

The two little brothers' straight shoulders slumped slightly, "...Oh."

The second son opened the drawer and the eldest son put the ping-pong racket and a few balls in it.

After everything was packed up, the two kids went to help their younger siblings.

The fourth child was still holding his rag doll and watched his mother put away his little skirt and hairpins before he went to bed obediently with his brother.

Sanzai was flipping through the dictionary for a long time without moving.

The second child urged him. The little fellow closed the dictionary and held the thick book with both hands. He looked at his second brother calmly with his eyebrows and eyes. His calm little voice said, "Legs, grow a little longer."

Gu Chenghuai raised his eyebrows, confusion in his dark eyes.

Lin Zhao guessed, "His legs are numb."

"..."

She couldn't help but laugh at the man who was so adorable with his son.

Gu Chenghuai felt that raising a child was really tiring. Not only did he have to take care of the child's food and clothing, but he also had to guess what the child meant.

He rubbed the top of Lin Zhao's head with a feeling of heartache and guilt, his palms broad and warm.

The man walked towards the three sons. Considering that his youngest son's legs were numb, he slowed down his movements and picked him up. He controlled the strength to massage his legs, paying attention to the sons' reactions at all times.

The third child hugged his father's neck, looking well-behaved, and thanked him softly: "Thank you, Dad."

"I'm your father, my dear. It's my duty to take care of you. No need to thank me." Gu Chenghuai said in a light tone.

The child smiled and touched his father's face with his short, plump hands.

Over here, the twins and their sister climbed onto the bed. The three little ones lay in their respective positions and waved at Lin Zhao, "Mom, come here."

They all want their mother to lie next to them.

Every night at this time, Lin Zhao felt it was so difficult. It was really hard to carry the water.

What can I do?

I could only pretend I didn't see those three pairs of eager eyes, lie down on the bed, and change the subject, "Let your dad tell you a bedtime story tonight. You're a little tired after a day's work."

Hearing this, the eldest child moved closer and massaged his mother's shoulders. "Mom, let me massage you. My grandma said I'm a great massager. My shoulders will feel lighter soon!"

Erzai was originally lying on his little pillow, swaying with his legs crossed, with a smile on his face, not knowing what he was looking at beautifully. But when he saw his brother's actions, he sat up and moved over to massage Lin Zhao's legs.

"Mom, let me massage your legs. I'm very good at it. I guarantee you won't feel tired after a while."

The four cubs were stunned. The little balls of milk, less than two years old, experienced the feeling of being rolled for the first time.

The little guy rubbed his eyes and snuggled into Lin Zhao's arms. He grabbed the collar of her nightgown with his soft little hands and spit on her face. He spit and smiled. His smile was soft, clean and beautiful.

"Mother~"

Anyone with a daughter can understand the feeling of this moment.

Lin Zhao hugged the fourth child in her arms, patted her shoulders, and murmured, "In this life, as long as your mother, your father, and your brothers are here, we four will definitely be happy."

Sizi has no shortage of love and warmth. She doesn't believe that she would fall in love with that rotten guy just because of a little favor... and become so pitiful, sad and lamentable.

Lin Zhao patted the baby regularly. The fourth child nestled in his mother's arms, his little head nodding slowly. He closed his eyes, tried to open them, closed them again, opened them again... and closed them again.

The soft words continued, very softly.

"The cinema is showing a new movie called 'The Aviator'. It's very good. Your father and I will take you to see it the day after tomorrow."

"...Pilot? The one who flies the plane?!" The eldest cub's eyes sparkled, and his whole face lit up.

"Yes. I know you want to be a pilot. When I heard that the cinema was showing a movie about a female pilot, your father and I went to watch it for you without even having dinner. It's pretty good and kids can watch it." Lin Zhao said with a smile.

The eldest cub was dancing with excitement. If it wasn't so late, he would have wanted to go out for a few laps.

"Thank you, mother!"

The second child was also happy and asked, "Mom, why don't you take us there tomorrow?"

In less than two minutes, the four cubs were fast asleep, even throwing their favorite dolls aside. Their little hands were clenched into fists, their bodies were curled up into a ball, their little bellies rose and fell, and they were sleeping soundly.

"Your father just came back and wants to go see your grandparents first." Lin Zhao explained in a low voice.

The Lin family has great respect for Gu Chenghuai's profession, but if this man is their son-in-law (brother-in-law), they will definitely be dissatisfied.

Soldiers cannot go home for one or two years, and their wives have to take care of all the big and small things at home. Zhao Zhao has a hard time.

Gu Chenghuai walked to the bedside.

The three cubs in his arms also fell into a deep sleep.

"We stayed up too late today and are exhausted." Lin Zhao and the twins made way.

Gu Chenghuai bent over, his slender waist outlining a powerful figure.

He placed the third and fourth cubs side by side and said to the twins in a low voice, "Go to sleep, too. I'll call you in the morning."

The two little brothers lay down.

The eldest child was very interested in watching the pilot movie. He looked at his father with clear eyes and said, "Dad, my mom said she would take us to the movies the day after tomorrow. You will really take us, right?"

"Your mother has the final say in our family." Gu Chenghuai said.

What I mean is, as long as your mother agrees, I can do anything.

The eldest cub smiled and pulled open the thin blanket to cover his and his brother's stomachs.

"Dad, you are taking my mom back to her parents' home tomorrow. Can you take us with you? I miss my grandparents." Erzai suddenly said.
