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

Chapter 149 "The Adult World is So Complicated"

Gu Chenghuai kept a close eye on his wife and children and immediately noticed that Hengbao was acting strangely.

She took out a preserved plum and put it into her son's mouth.

"Open your mouth."

Hengbao instinctively opened his mouth wide.

A piece of candy slipped into his little mouth.

The child sucked on his lips a few times, and the sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth.

After a while, he looked a bit more energetic.

Gu Chenghuai felt relieved and looked at the other three children, "Are you feeling unwell?"

The twins shook their little heads.

“I’m not feeling bad either,” Yu Bao replied.

He looked at his younger brother, his little face tense and full of worry, "What's wrong with Hengbao?"

"Motion sickness." Lin Zhao rolled down the car window and explained, "Some adults get motion sickness too. It's okay. Eat some preserved plums to calm down first. If it doesn't work, try something else."

She also has oranges that are so sour they'll make your teeth ache.

Yu Bao felt relieved and took her younger brother's hand. "Heng Bao, are you still feeling unwell?"

Hengbao had a preserved plum in his mouth, sucking on its sour taste, which made his stomach feel much better.

He shook his head upon hearing his brother's words.

The front row seat on the left.

A little girl vomited.

An unpleasant smell emanated from inside the car.

One passenger covered their nose and exclaimed in disgust, "It stinks! It's disgusting! Open the windows! Open all the windows!"

The woman holding the girl looked embarrassed and slapped the little girl hard on the back.

"You useless piece of trash! Why can't you just be more tolerant!"

It caused her to be disliked.

passenger:"……"

Yao Bao pricked up her ears, her clear and bright eyes full of curiosity.

Gu Chenghuai was utterly helpless and reached out to cover her ears. The little girl frowned, but her father smiled at her, his expression leaving no room for refusal.

The passengers on the bus all looked at the woman who was hitting the child.

He was dark-skinned and thin, and probably didn't smile often; his lips drooped, and he looked distressed.

The little girl was very thin, like skin and bones.

The woman's loud voice, hitting and scolding the child, easily drowned out the noise of the car driving by.

The passengers, seeing this, stopped complaining.

The person who initially complained was stubborn but soft-hearted, and immediately said, "Alright, alright, just open the window and let the smell dissipate. Don't hit the child anymore, she didn't do it on purpose."

The woman stopped hitting the child. The little girl's back and buttocks were burning hot, and she was sobbing in pain that she dared not make a sound.

Hengbao was still upset, but he couldn't resist watching the commotion.

Unfortunately, I'm short and couldn't leave my seat, so I didn't see anything.

Not long after he straightened up, he felt dizzy again, so he leaned back and remained motionless.

Hengbao asked fearfully, "Mommy, if I throw up too, will you hit me?"

"No." Lin Zhao put another preserved plum into his mouth, her expression gentle. "You didn't do it on purpose, why would I hit you?"

"As long as you behave, I won't lay a hand on you."

Leather is another matter.

Hengbao grinned, feeling secretly delighted.

Open your mouth wide, "More!"

Lin Zhao popped another one into his mouth.

She didn't forget to ask Yu Bao, "Does Yu Bao want some?"

"want!"

Lin Zhao also fed one to her eldest son.

Qianbao and Yaobao had rosy cheeks and their eyes were looking around. They were very clever and didn't get carsick, so she didn't feed them.

The twins are so small, it's easy for them to choke on this kind of food, especially since the car is so bumpy.

Another jolt, and the little girl in the front seat vomited again. Her mother started yelling and cursing again, digging her long fingernails into the girl's forehead, angrily yelling, "You worthless brat, bringing you out here is such an embarrassment!"

Her voice filled the entire car.

It looked menacing, and the children in the car shrank back in fear.

Yu Bao looked puzzled and asked Lin Zhao, "Mom, that little girl didn't do it on purpose, so why did her mother hit her?"

"He probably feels embarrassed that the kid vomited," Lin Zhao guessed, based on the man's cursing.

Yu Bao still didn't understand, and scratched his face, "But isn't face something you earn yourself?"

“That’s right, face is something you earn yourself.” Lin Zhao agreed with this statement.

Some parents just don't understand.

"Some adults are not thinking clearly and will blame their misfortunes on others. These kinds of people are not good, and we should stay far away from them, understand?"

Yu Bao & Heng Bao: The adult world is so complicated.

"We know," the two well-behaved children said in unison.

The sound of vomiting could be heard from ahead from time to time.

Gu Chenghuai stood up and gave the child a few preserved plums, saying, "Put them in your mouth and see if you can suppress the urge."

He bought the preserved plums specifically to prevent his wife and children from getting carsick, and he cut them into very small pieces in case the children choked.

With a preserved plum stuffed into her mouth, the bitterness in the little girl's mouth lessened somewhat. Whether it was because this thing had a great effect or because it was the first time she had eaten a preserved plum and she was reluctant to spit it out, the gagging sounds completely disappeared.

The twins looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

When they realized they were reacting the same way, they burst out laughing.

Lin Zhao smiled and patted her two sons' heads. "Look out the window."

The car sped up, the trees on both sides of the road rushed past, and the sunlight shone on the window, making people's eyes glaze.

Yu Bao opened his eyes wide, pressed his face against the window and looked out, excitedly saying, "The trees are receding, receding so fast!"

Hengbao didn't dare to move, obediently leaning against the back of the chair, his eyes shining, and he exclaimed "Wow!" again and again.

"The car is so fast, much faster than a bicycle!" the child exclaimed.

Yu Bao looked at Gu Chenghuai and asked, "Dad, is this big car we're riding in expensive?"

Gu Chenghuai raised an eyebrow. "Expensive. You want to buy it?"

"Yes, I do!" Yu Bao smiled brightly. "If I had a big car like this, I could take Grandpa, Grandma, and Li Bao to see the world!"

I learned the phrase "see the world" from my mother.

Gu Chenghuai didn't discourage his son, saying, "You have lofty ambitions, good job..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Bao chimed in, "Study hard and make progress every day, I know that."

Hengbao didn't want to talk about studying.

He is very smart, but playful and always wants to escape.

She stopped looking at the scenery outside the window and silently closed her eyes.

Lin Zhao couldn't help but laugh at Erzai's self-deceptive actions and reached out to pinch his nose.

"!" Who is it? Who pinched his nose?

The child didn't open their eyes, but secretly breathed through their mouth, determined to escape.

"You little rascal who's trying to skip studying." Lin Zhao let go of his hand and lightly tapped Hengbao's nose with his fingertip. "You'll have to catch up on your homework when you get back."

Yu Bao obediently replied, "Mom, I will keep an eye on my little brother."

Lin Zhao touched her eldest son's face, "Close your eyes and sleep for a while. I'll wake you when we get there."

"Where to?" Yu Bao asked, curious about the journey.

"Go to the train station and take the train to the provincial capital." Qianbao, nestled in Lin Zhao's arms, yawned, snuggled in her arms, closed his eyes, and tightly gripped his mother's clothes with his little hands.

Last night, Lin Zhao told the four children a lot about cases of bad people abducting children. The Yu Bao brothers were very vigilant and alert, showing a strong awareness of preventing abduction.

Hengbao opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly. "Train? Is a train the same as this vehicle?"

"Weren't you asleep? You're awake again?" Lin Zhao said with a mischievous smile.

Hengbao chuckled.

“I’ve never ridden in one before, ask your dad.” The twins were surprised.

The two boys always thought their mother knew everything.

So, Mom has never ridden a train before either.

The child, who was initially quite nervous, immediately calmed down.

They turned their gaze toward Gu Chenghuai.

"The train is very long, with many carriages, each of which can seat many people. When the train starts moving, it makes a 'clunk-clunk' sound..." Gu Chenghuai patiently explained to his son.

Hengbao asked excitedly in a loud voice, "Dad, is the train faster than this car?"

Lin Zhao gently reminded her, "Your voice is a bit loud."

Hengbao covered her mouth, her long, dark eyelashes fluttering gently, revealing her cleverness.

Gu Chenghuai smiled and continued, "It's faster than this car."

Hengbao has new expectations.

Children are very curious about new things, but their enthusiasm fades quickly. After sitting in the bus for half an hour, their interest waned considerably, and they fell fast asleep in their seats.

To be honest, the seats were cramped and narrow, and the noise and bumpy road made it uncomfortable to sit there.

Lin Zhao recalled the original book, which said that transportation would be much more convenient in the future, and people would be able to travel quickly and comfortably, and cross provinces would be very convenient and would not take long.

If only I had come earlier that day.

Seeing his wife staring blankly, as if her mind had wandered off somewhere, Gu Chenghuai tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Lin Zhao shook her head.

"I just feel... it's always such a hassle for you to come back, and the journey must be very tiring." Her expression softened, and her eyes showed concern.

Gu Chenghuai's gaze softened further, his voice gentle, "No, every time I come back, the thought of seeing you soon..."

His gaze swept over the four children. "Seeing the children makes me happy, and all my fatigue disappears."

Tell the truth.

He and Zhaozhao don't spend much time together, so he cherishes every opportunity to meet, looks forward to it with great anticipation, and doesn't feel tired at all.

Lin Zhao took Gu Chenghuai's hand, their fingers intertwined, turned her head to look out the window, and smiled.

Gu Chenghuai looked at her profile with tender and affectionate eyes, full of cherishment.

With a slight exertion of force, a faint smile spread across his deep eyes.

After a while, the other passengers lost their desire to talk, and the entire carriage became quiet, with only the occasional slightly loud snore.

The journey, which takes about an hour, can feel both fast and slow.

The car will stop.

Lin Zhao heard Gu Chenghuai's deep and pleasant voice.

"Zhao Zhao..."

As soon as he called out, Lin Zhao opened his eyes, his gaze still slightly sleepy.

Gu Chenghuai asked in surprise, "You weren't asleep?"

"Hmm." Lin Zhao rubbed her temples. "It's too bumpy, I can't sleep at all."

My head aches from sitting in the car so much.

A flicker of heartache crossed Gu Chenghuai's deep, dark eyes as he gently comforted her, "Bear with it for now, you can sleep on the train later."

"Can we buy sleeper tickets?" Lin Zhao's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Gu Chenghuai had a military officer's ID, so buying a sleeper ticket wasn't difficult.

It's okay if he can't buy it; he has connections in the railway system, so he can just ask someone for help.

He never buys sleeper tickets when he travels by himself; he always uses hard seats. Sleeper tickets are expensive, and the difference he saves can buy Zhao Zhao a new coat.

Battalion Commander Gu wouldn't let his wife and children suffer when they traveled together.

Lin Zhao nuzzled her face against Gu Chenghuai's shoulder, her voice full of joy, "Battalion Commander Gu, you're awesome!"

Gu Chenghuai's lips curled up in a smile as his wife praised him, and all traces of his indifference vanished.

Lin Zhao patted Yu Bao and Heng Bao on the shoulder one by one, "We're almost there, time to wake up."

The two boys opened their eyes at the same time, rubbed their eyes and looked around, clearly still a little dazed.

The car stopped, and the people on board got off one after another.

“We’re not in a hurry, we can finish last,” Lin Zhao said.

Getting on the bus is crowded, and you need to grab a good spot, but you don't need to do that when you get off.

The little ones are being good.

Hearing the commotion, Qianbao woke up. He rested his little face on his mother's shoulder, his bright, dark eyes taking in his surroundings.

"Oh, Qianbao's awake too. Are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat after we get off the bus." Lin Zhao patted the back of his youngest son's head.

Qianbao smiled, her eyes crinkling, looking sweet and gentle.

After the family got out of the car, Gu Chenghuai took his wife and children to a state-run restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

While waiting for the meal, he took the twins to buy train tickets.

There were police patrolling outside the train station, and the restaurant was full of people. Zhao Zhao was quick-witted, strong, and skilled in martial arts. With these factors in mind, Gu Chenghuai felt at ease leaving.

"Mom, you and your younger brother and sister stay put and don't run around. We'll be right back," Yu Bao said worriedly.

He remembered the stories his mother told him: human traffickers liked to kidnap children, and they also liked to kidnap beautiful young women like his mother.

Lin Zhao was both amused and exasperated. "...I understand."

Hengbao also told the twins, "You two stay close to Mommy, okay? Your brother will be back in a little while."

Qianbao and Yaobao sat obediently on the long wooden bench, the two little ones holding hands, looking around curiously at everything.

"Ah."

Lin Zhao said, "You two should stay close to your father and not get separated."

The two brothers solemnly agreed.

If they are abducted, they will never see their parents again, and they will definitely stay close to their father.

The dishes have just been served.

Gu Chenghuai returned with his two sons.

As soon as he sat down, the man handed the tickets to Lin Zhao and said with a smile, "I bought three sleeper tickets."

Lin Zhao took it, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "You can lie down now."

"Ah."

On this trip, Yu Bao and Heng Bao looked at their father with even brighter eyes, their pupils filled with admiration.

Lin Zhao laughed, "Yu Bao, Heng Bao, why aren't you two saying anything? The way you look at each other... it's like you've just met your dad."

Yu Bao looked away and said proudly, "Mom, Dad is so amazing!"

"Oh?" Lin Zhao listened attentively.

“That ticket seller talks to people like that…” Yu Bao pulled down the corner of his mouth, making a fierce glare, and continued, “So fierce, so fierce. When Dad took out his notebook, the ticket seller’s attitude changed immediately.”

Hengbao pleaded, "Mommy, I want to see Daddy's notebook, can you help me?"

"No, you can't." Lin Zhao refused her son's request. "That's something important, little kids can't touch it. Be good and eat your food, there's meat in it."

Her stance is beyond question.

Hengbao is very perceptive. Knowing that it was impossible, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​looking at the notebook and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
-
The capital city, the train station.

Meng Jingmo and Meng Guangbai stared blankly at the road they had come from.

The two brothers held hands tightly.

Little White nestled closer to her brother and whispered, "Brother, can we come back?"

"Yes." Meng Jingmo lowered his eyes, his words firm and resolute. "We will come back with Dad."

Little Bai clenched his fists and waved them a few times, his voice both cute and fierce, "When Daddy comes back, the bad guys in the house are doomed! They beat up my brother, and Daddy will definitely avenge him!"

Jingmo firmly believed this.

"Well, let's go."

Little White didn't move. "Brother, where's Mom? Isn't she with us?"

He's only four years old, the age when he's least likely to hold grudges. Yuan Qin used to treat them very well, so it's normal for him to miss his mother.

As for the fact that Yuan Qin didn't protect them during this time, the child didn't think too much about it. In his little mind, his maternal grandparents' family was the worst.

Jingmo shook his head.

He looked at his younger brother and said, "If Mom goes, Dad will get beaten up. Do you still want Mom to go with you?"
