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

Chapter 131 "The Melon Field"

Lin Zhao gently rubbed her son's soft little face. "There's no roof. What should we do?"

"Let's fix it! Ask my grandpa, my uncles, and my other uncles. They can fix it too," Hengbao immediately came up with a solution.

Lin Zhao laughed, "Look at you, such a small person, you've arranged everything for the whole family."

Yu Bao looked at the yard without any disdain, his eyes sparkling. He looked at Gu Chenghuai and asked, "Dad, can you find someone to fix the house?"

Gu Chenghuai's voice was low and patient, "Your mother entrusted the house renovation to your great-uncle. A specialist will come to repair it in a few days. I'll handle the bricks, tiles, and glass."

"Dad, I want a big glass window, is that okay?" Yu Bao rarely made a request to his father.

Gu Chenghuai patted his head. "Okay, if you have any other requests, just tell me and I'll figure something out."

His tone was calm and even, yet it made the child feel a strong sense of reliance.

"Mom said that in our new house, she'll have someone make wardrobes, desks, and clothes racks for us, and the house will be painted white... Can we do that in our city home too?" Yu Bao asked expectantly.

"Okay." This request will be granted.

Yu Bao held her father's hand, and the soft, warm touch almost seeped into Gu Chenghuai's heart.

A large hand held a small hand, and deep, dark eyes shone with tenderness.

"What are Hengbao's requirements?"

Hengbao's eyes darted around. "I want a place to put my books."

Gu Chenghuai nodded, "Arrange it!"

Uncle Song carefully examined the courtyard, nodding from time to time. "The layout of this courtyard is very good. After the renovation, Zhaozhao will live very comfortably."

"We need to dig a well so that we can have water easily. The wellhead needs to be sealed properly because we have children at home," he said.

Aunt Song nodded, "This is a detached house with its own courtyard, which is definitely more comfortable than living in an apartment building. An apartment building may look prestigious, but it's really not as good as this courtyard."

"Mom, you like the yard? Would you be willing to trade our house for it?" Song Yuncheng guessed that his mother wouldn't be happy.

Aunt Song really didn't want to. "Your dad and I are used to living here. Besides, that apartment is the largest in the staff housing complex. I'm afraid I'll regret it if we give it away."

That's just how people are; what they can't have always seems the best.

Song Yuncheng smiled knowingly, "Mom, once I get a room, I'll try my best to choose a courtyard house. If that's not possible, I'll exchange with someone else so you can have a courtyard house too."

Aunt Song refused the offer, saying, "Waiting for you to get a room? Forget it."

Moreover, that courtyard, which was full of people, was not as good as an apartment building.

Don't don't!

Lin Zhao stomped down the weeds under his feet and said, "Auntie, if you want a hospital room, that's easy. Come and stay here. I welcome you with open arms and feet."

“I welcome you too!” Yu Bao smiled, tilting her head.

Hengbao also said, "I welcome it too."

Qianbao quietly held Lin Zhao's hand, her clear, star-like eyes looking around. Yaobao fussed about pulling up the grass, but Gu Chenghuai stopped her.

The two little ones also chimed in, their voices sweet and childlike, "Me too..."

Aunt Song felt a warm glow in her heart. "Okay."

After seeing the courtyard, Uncle Song had a clear idea of ​​how to renovate it, and even had the blueprints in mind.

It's getting late—

Uncle Song handed the bag he was carrying to Yu Bao with a kind smile, "Yu Bao, Qian Bao and Yao Bao have gifts, and so do you and Heng Bao. These are gifts from your great-uncle to you both."

Yu Bao smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

"Uncle, what's this? Is it food?" Hengbao asked, glancing at the bag.

Uncle Song patted down the frizzy hair on his head and laughed, "A radio."

Gu Chenghuai's gaze paused slightly.

To be honest, he had never seen such a generous uncle.

and……

As a girl who was pampered by her uncle, Lin Zhao was only surprised for a moment before calming down.

He only hugged Aunt Song.

Soft voice:
"Auntie, did my uncle inform you beforehand? He wouldn't have bought it without your consent, would he?"

“I know.” Aunt Song gently pinched Zhao Zhao’s nose and smiled. “Don’t worry, it wasn’t expensive. Your uncle found the materials and hired someone to modify it.”

"He thought those radios were ugly, so he had them made into cat shapes and spray-painted."

Lin Zhao straightened up, feigning dissatisfaction, "Uncle, you've never been this attentive to me before!"

"Look at you, why are you comparing yourself to your own child?" Uncle Song said with a doting expression. "I've put in 100% care for this yard, okay?"

Lin Zhao was finally satisfied. "Okay, thank you, Uncle!"

Uncle Song: "No need to thank me!"

Yu Bao and Heng Bao accepted the gifts from their great-uncle, their eyes crinkling into crescent moons. They had thought they were older children and wouldn't receive any gifts.

"Uncle, can you listen to stories on the radio?" Hengbao looked up at her uncle.

“Yes, you can also listen to revolutionary songs. Your Uncle Yuncheng said you have a loud voice and love to sing. After thinking it over, I decided to give you two radios. They can be used for learning and entertainment. Do you like them?” Uncle Song said.

"I love it!" Hengbao shouted loudly, spreading his arms wide and drawing a huge circle. "So many things I love! Thank you, Uncle! Uncle is so kind!!"

Yu Bao smiled politely, her eyes full of affection as she looked at her great-uncle. "I like it too, thank you, great-uncle!!"

"If you like it, make good use of it. Study hard when you go to school and grow up to support your mother."

The twins nodded emphatically.

As the group left the dilapidated courtyard, Uncle Song offered to take Lin Zhao's family home. When they weren't looking, he gave his eldest son a wink.

Song Yuncheng turned and left.

Gu Chenghuai glanced at his rapidly receding figure and pretended nothing had happened.

They walked and talked, and soon passed the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Mom, where you work!" Yu Bao beamed.

Qianbao turned his little head, his eyes wide and bright, staring at the spot his brother was pointing to, gleaming.

Noticing his youngest son's gaze, Gu Chenghuai rubbed his head.

"Yes, that's where I work," Lin Zhao said, feeling listless and exhausted, as she had to get up early again tomorrow.

Uncle Song thought that he must get the yard repaired before the rainy season arrives, so that Zhao Zhao wouldn't have to go through all that trouble. He knew that the road was all muddy, and if something happened to her on the way, it would be a disaster for them. Even getting wet and catching a cold would be unbearable.

Meanwhile, Song Yuncheng ran home, grabbed a large bag of things, and rode his bicycle to catch up with Lin Zhao and the others.

“I knew you guys would dawdle,” he said.

Chao Yubao and Hengbao patted their bicycles, tucked the corner of their white shirts into their pants, and straddled the bike with their long legs, making even the old-fashioned bicycle look shorter, exuding a youthful vibe.

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."

Yu Bao looked at the huge package on the back seat and then at Uncle Yun Cheng, "How are we supposed to sit?"

"I'll ride slower, and you two can squeeze in front?"

Yu Bao didn't mind squeezing in with his younger brother, saying, "Okay."

“If my brother is willing, I am too.” Hengbao squeezed his brother’s shoulder and laughed heartily. “My grandma said that before my brother and I were even born… we were squeezing and jostling in Mom’s belly. I even fought with my brother for food. When we were first born, I was stronger than my brother.”

Yu Bao didn't want to hear his younger brother talk about how he was stronger than him, so he pulled him closer to the bicycle.

"Hengbao, would you like to sit in the front or the back?"

Hengbao said, "Anything is fine, you choose first, brother."

"I'll sit in the back." Yu Bao didn't stand on ceremony with his younger brother and chose the back. He felt that it would be easier to grab the front of the car from the front, while it would be harder to grab the back.

The radio was a bit heavy, so the twins carried it.

Hengbao asked Uncle Yuncheng, "Uncle, can this be hung on the front of a car? This is a gift from my great-uncle to my brother and me. Do you know what it is?"

Song Yuncheng had no idea that Old Song was being so secretive, even secretly preparing small balls and cloth tigers for Qianbao and Yaobao.

"A radio!" Hengbao called out. Song Yuncheng said, "Then you guys have something to do in the village, that's good!"

"Come on, get in the car!" He lifted the two children onto the front beam.

After the twins sat down, he put his arm around them and held them securely, which made him very satisfied.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm taking Yubao and Hengbao back first. You two take your time." Song Yuncheng left these words, pushed off with his foot, and his bicycle left the spot.

Song Yunjin pouted.

Lin Zhao laughed and said, "Don't be upset. My house is almost finished. I'll save a room for you to stay in the village. You can do whatever you want."

So fast!!?
With just one sentence, he coaxed Song Yunjin into pouting.

"Sister, you must remember to call me!" he reminded her.

"Don't worry, your sister has a good memory." Lin Zhao pushed away the face that was smiling cheaply and looked at her uncle and aunt. "Uncle, Aunt, don't see us off. Go back. I'll bring the four kids over for a free meal sometime."

Uncle Song and Aunt Song were both smiling.

“Zhaozhao, in the big bag Yuncheng brought, there are things your aunt and I prepared for Xiao Si temporarily, and the things in the net bag are for the four kids,” Uncle Song said.

Lin Zhao replied in a light tone, "I know."

After saying goodbye to the Song family of three, Lin Zhao's family headed towards the brigade.

She and Gu Chenghuai each held a baby.

The man wanted to hold both of them, but Yao Bao wasn't happy. She opened her bright, clear eyes, stretched out her arms towards Lin Zhao, and called out in a childish voice, "Mama... I want a hug..."

"You clingy little rascal," Lin Zhao said softly, bouncing her daughter around.

Yao Bao pretended not to hear, closed her eyes, her long, curled eyelashes fluttering gently, and her pink little mouth moved slightly, "Baby...asleep~"

That voice was so sweet and childlike.

Lin Zhao teased her, "Baby, you're asleep. Why are you talking when you're asleep?"

Yao Bao froze, remained silent for several seconds, and then, without warning, began to snore like her grandfather.

"Whoosh~ Puff~!"

Lin Zhao laughed heartily, kissed the baby's cheek, and continued on her way at a leisurely pace.

Qianbao, leaning on Gu Chenghuai's shoulder, frowned. He knew his sister was faking it. He wanted to tell his mother, but felt it wasn't a good idea. He looked very troubled.

Lin Zhao winked at him, and Qianbao gave him a sweet and adorable smile.

……

The Song family of three didn't rush home; instead, they took a stroll in the park.

As they were walking, Song Yunjin spotted a familiar person, grabbed her parents, and pulled her uncle and aunt behind a tree.

"Dad, Mom, it's Sister Xiangxiang!"

Uncle Song and Aunt Song were puzzled. What was wrong with Xiangxiang? They were elders, why were they avoiding her?
Before they could ask, Song Yunjin lowered her voice and said, her tone rising like a badger falling into a melon patch, "Sister Xiangxiang is with a man!"

"?"

Uncle Song and Aunt Song exchanged a glance, stopped resisting, and obediently stayed behind the tree, peeking out quietly.

He met a pair of sharp eyes.

It was that young man.

The couple quickly looked away, a hint of embarrassment flashing in their eyes.

Uh, we've been found out.

Uncle Song was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go back."

"Huh?" Song Yunjin exclaimed in surprise, "Why don't you go ask a few questions?"

"Why ask? Your sister Xiangxiang is so thin-skinned, can she withstand my questioning?" Uncle Song said, "Xiangxiang is not Zhaozhao. I will support her after Xiangxiang and that young man are really sure about their relationship."

He had investigated Li Song, and found him to be an upright man with no bad habits. Xiangxiang would not make a mistake marrying him.

Song Yunjin thought about it and agreed.

Xiangxiang used to never sit on his sofa when she came to his house. She spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and she seemed very timid. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if his parents rushed out...

As soon as Aunt Song peeked out and got a clear look at the young man, she walked out of the park and said to Uncle Song, "That young man is not bad. He doesn't seem like a cunning or treacherous person. He has a strong sense of integrity and is worthy of his military training."

Uncle Song nodded.

The person hiding behind the tree left, and Li Song withdrew his gaze.

Yuan Xiang looked over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Afraid of scaring his partner, Li Song didn't mention that someone had just been watching them.

"Oh."

Li Song suggested, "Would you like to see a movie?"

"Ah."

The two, saying "Come on, I'll take you there," went to the movie theater.

Today, Li Song and Yuan Xiang became a little more familiar with each other. Although they were still somewhat unfamiliar, it was certain that they had feelings for each other.

It's only a matter of time before we have a happy occasion.

……

Here.

Song Yuncheng brought the twins back to the village.

The two brothers had only been gone for less than a day, but it felt like they had been gone for years; everything around them felt familiar and dear.

Upon hearing that Yu Bao and Heng Bao had returned, Xiao Tiechui quickly ran over and hugged them both tightly.

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao, you're finally back!"

Yu Bao patted his good friend on the back with a big smile, "We said we'd be back this afternoon."

Little Hammer loosened his grip and asked, "Where in the county did you go? Did you see a movie?" His words were full of longing and curiosity.

Hengbao's loud voice rang out, "We didn't go to the movies, but my mom took us ice skating, and it was so much fun! It was even more interesting than going to the movies!"

"...?" A big question mark appeared on Little Hammer's tiny head. "Who is your mother?"

Yu Bao thought his good brother was a little slow, but he didn't mind and patiently explained, "My mother is my mom! People in the city don't call their mothers 'mother,' they call them 'Mom.' My younger brother and sister and I are city kids, so we should call our mothers 'Mom,' and that's why we changed our address."

Little Hammer suddenly realized.

He grinned sheepishly, "Can I call her 'Mom'?"

“Of course you can.” Yu Bao put his hand on his good friend’s shoulder and encouraged him like a little adult: “Li Bao, you’ll become a city person sooner or later, and you can call your mother and mom.”

"Hehe." Little Hammer scratched his head, "Then I'll change it too."

Anyway, he listens to the twins.

Yuanbao squeezed into the line and asked, "Yubao, Hengbao, what is ice skating?"

"Ice skating is..." the twins explained to their friends, who listened with exclamations of "Wow!"

"The city is so much fun!" Yuanbao exclaimed, then asked, "What else? What else did you do?"

"And we went to the photo studio. Yuanbao, your photos are in my mom's bag. She'll give them to you when she gets back," Yubao said.

Yuanbao's eyes lit up. "Great! I want to see!"

Tie Niu jumped out, "Yu Bao, what else did you guys do?"

"We also went to my great-uncle and great-aunt's house. My great-uncle and great-aunt live in an apartment building with several floors. Their house is on the third floor, and it's really high up on the third floor."

"My great-uncle and great-aunt's house has a soft sofa. Do you know what a sofa is? It's something to sit on, but it's soft and comfortable. Your bottom won't hurt at all," Yu Bao shared his city experiences with his friends in his childish voice.

Hengbao added, "My great-aunt cooked a whole table of delicious food for us, and I'm so full! Oh, and my great-uncle also gave my brother and me gifts."

The children were incredibly curious and stared intently at the twins.

"What is it?"
