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

Chapter 150 "Seeing the World"

Compared to Yuan Qin, Guang Bai is closer to his father. Hearing his brother's words, the little guy was so frightened that he shook his head like a rattle drum.

"do not want!"

"I don't want my dad to get beaten!"

"It hurts to be hit, no! I don't want my mom to come with us anymore!"

The child's tone was urgent and flustered.

The older brother quickly comforted Xiaobai, "Okay, don't mention them in front of Dad anymore, okay?"

Jingmo was a bit older and knew the plight of those who had been taken away. He was doing slightly better, cleaning toilets; his father had been sent away, so it must have been much harder for him.

It can only be said that children without a father's protection grow at an astonishing rate.

"Okay, I won't say." Xiaobai nodded seriously.

Yun Jian looked at the Meng brothers lazily, not urging them. He didn't know when they would return after leaving, so he took a few more glances.

Jingmo looked at Yunjian.

"Uncle Yun, let's go."

Yun Jian clicked his tongue and led the way, his gaze occasionally falling on them.

"Aren't you two afraid I'm a bad guy?"

"I'm not afraid," Jingmo said without hesitation.

He had observed this Uncle Yun; the watch on his wrist must have cost over a hundred yuan, his clothes looked low-key and ordinary, but the fabric was actually very good, and he was wearing leather shoes.

Even selling him and his brother wouldn't be enough to buy this outfit.

This person is not short of money.

Yun Jian raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You have good taste. Your brother Yun doesn't need those two measly dates."

“I will take you two to the provincial capital of X province, where you will meet my old comrade-in-arms, and he will take you to your father.”

Jingmo blinked, looking at him suspiciously, "...Were you a soldier before?"

"What?" Yun Jian glanced at the little brat. "Doesn't look like it?"

“...No, not exactly.” Jingmo denied.

It's just... he looks a bit like a reformed hoodlum.

Yun Jian's work is special; he often has to travel all over the country, taking the train more times than some people take a bicycle.

He led the Meng brothers onto the train with practiced ease.

Young Master Yun, from a well-off family, never takes hard seats; he booked three sleeper berths!

He lay down as soon as he got in the car.

"Those two beds are for you two. You can lie down if you want, or sit if you don't. It's best not to leave the carriage, or you might get drugged and kidnapped."

"I'll keep an eye on Xiaobai." Jingmo didn't want to trouble Yun Jian any further.

Xiao Bai said in a soft, sweet voice, "I'll stay with you, brother, and I won't go anywhere else."

Yun Jian: What if you need to poop?
"Tell me if you need to use the restroom, and I'll take you there."

Jingmo politely thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle Yun."

Feeling no threat, his thorns softened and nestled into his skin, revealing his well-mannered side.

Yun Jian didn't dislike Meng Jingmo; in fact, he looked at him with a certain respect. This little brat was shrewd and clever.

The horn beeped.

The train starts moving.

The Meng brothers approached the window, looked out, and watched the train leave the platform, clearly sensing... that they were leaving.

"Brother, the train has started moving." Xiao Bai clung to his brother's arm, belatedly realizing his unease.

"Don't be afraid, we're going to find Dad. Dad is waiting for us," Jingmo comforted her younger brother.

As her older brother spoke of their father, Xiao Bai clenched her fists, her face full of anticipation.

Jingmo watched the platform recede into the distance, gradually becoming a small dot, before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

He will be back.

When he returns, the Yuan family...

The young boy, whose face still held a touch of childish innocence, had a dark glint in his eyes.
-
After finishing their meal, Lin Zhao and her family boarded the train.

The sleeper berths weren't too crowded; there were four beds, and some people were already inside.

She was a young woman with bright eyes and a gentle demeanor. She was with a beautiful little girl, who looked to be about three years old and was incredibly cute.

"Mommy, I want to sleep on top," Hengbao said as soon as he went in.

Gu Chenghuai put down his luggage and said casually, "You and your brother share a bed. You two can discuss it."

The twins are still young, so he takes care of them.

Zhao Zhao wasn't feeling well, so she slept in a bed by herself.

Hengbao looked at Yubao with an expectant expression.

Yu Bao looked at the upper bunk, then at the lower bunk, and nodded. "Okay, I'll sleep on the upper bunk."

He's never slept that high before.

There was a bed in the lower bunk that Gu Chenghuai had bought. Lin Zhao sat down without ceremony and said to the twins, "Go up there when you want to lie down. Sit down here for now."

The two kids took off their shoes, climbed onto the bed, and touched the window.

Hengbao felt the window, pushed it up, and the window went up.

A warm breeze brushed my face.

"It's windy!" Hengbao shouted, trying to stick his body out.

Lin Zhao reached out and pulled the overly lively boy back to his senses, then slapped his bottom twice.

"Stop being naughty!" she said sternly, feigning anger. "What if you fall? If you keep being naughty like this, I won't take you with me anymore."

Hengbao covered his bottom, looking both embarrassed and ashamed.

She wanted to get angry but knew she was in the wrong. She moved her mouth, but finally turned around, facing the car wall, and gave Lin Zhao a puffed-up back of her head.

His mother spanked him in front of his older brother and younger siblings, and he lost all face!

Lin Zhao ignored him, took out an enamel mug, added some sugar to it, and handed it to Gu Chenghuai, saying, "Get some hot water."

Gu Chenghuai glanced at Hengbao, took the enamel mug, and left.

Yu Bao poked Heng Bao's shoulder, who was sulking.

Are you having a fight with your mother?

Hengbao glanced at her mother, her dark, bright eyes filled with resentment.

Lin Zhao laughed.

Such a small child, yet so concerned about appearances.

Yu Bao pulled his younger brother to sit down, then sat cross-legged and looked at him, his voice childish yet serious, "It's your fault."

Hengbao opened her eyes wide, her face full of grievance.

“Before we left, didn’t we promise Mom and Dad that we would listen to them the whole way? You tried to climb out the window without even asking. What if you climbed up and the train started moving, and you fell because you couldn’t hold on tight?” Yu Bao reasoned with his younger brother. “I wanted to hit you when you climbed out the window just now.”

Hengbao instinctively covered his buttocks.

He looked at his brother in disbelief.

She met her brother's serious face.

The child was picking at his fingers, looking somewhat lost.

After a while.

Hengbao finally couldn't withstand his brother's death stare and reached out his hand, "Brother, hit my palm instead."

Yu Bao didn't hit him, she just asked, "Do you know you were wrong?"

Hengbao nodded vigorously, "I know, I know."

"I'll let it go this time, but if it happens again, I'll spank you," Yu Bao threatened.

Hengbao blushed and said awkwardly, "...I won't do it again."

"You were just angry with your mother, you need to admit your mistake."

Hengbao, who always listened to his brother, awkwardly moved his knees to get closer to his mother. He glanced at Lin Zhao's expression, tugged at her clothes, and softened his loud voice, "Mom, I'm not angry with you, I just..."

He blushed and whispered, "I'm a grown-up now, and it's so embarrassing to get slapped on the bottom by my mom."

Lin Zhao chuckled and hugged Hengbao. "It was my fault. I won't do it again. It's rare that Hengbao isn't angry. He's such a magnanimous child."

Hengbao was easy to coax. He buried his head in his mother's arms, nuzzled her, and said with a sweet smile, "Mom is also a generous mom."

Thinking of the little girl's mother who vomited while riding in a large vehicle, little Gu Zhiheng felt even more grateful for his own mother.

Even if his mother spanks him, it's because he made the mistake first.

got it.

The train beeped a few times and started moving.

Being in the same carriage, they were bound to exchange a few words. Lin Zhao learned that the woman in the same carriage was bringing her daughter to join the army. The little girl had never met her biological father. The soldier was still somewhat conscientious; as soon as he was allocated a house, he sent a telegram to his wife back home, asking her to bring the child over, and that he would pick them up at the train station.

Upon learning that Lin Zhao had four children—a pair of twins and a pair of fraternal twins—the woman looked surprised, with a hint of envy in her expression.

"Two pregnancies, four babies, that's wonderful!"

Lin Zhao smiled.

She wasn't surprised that the other person would say that.

Everyone in the Fengshou Brigade, and even the neighboring brigades, envied her.

There's no way around it; these days, people believe in having many children and good fortune, and everyone wants to have seven or eight.

"It's better to have quality children than many," Lin Zhao said.

Gu Chenghuai agreed.

However, all of his and Zhao Zhao's children are very clever.

The provincial capital isn't far; after a short rest, we arrived in the afternoon.

The family of six got off the train and headed straight for the guesthouse.

We booked a room.

Open the door and enter the room.

There are two beds and a bathroom inside.

The room was slightly dark, so Gu Chenghuai pulled the light cord and the room light came on.

"Dad, is this a light? Can I pull it?" Hengbao asked curiously, but instead of pulling it rashly, he asked his father for his opinion.

"pull."

Hengbao smiled, her eyes crinkling, and stood on tiptoe to pull the light cord.

Click, the light went out.

He pulled it again, and it lit up again.

"Electric lights are so nice," Hengbao said, her voice full of envy.

Yu Bao looked up at the light bulb on the ceiling, his eyes shining. "It's so good to have electricity."

Lin Zhao put his arm around his son's little shoulder and led them into the house, smiling as he said, "Once our house in the city is renovated, every room will have an electric light, and even the toilet will have one."

Yu Bao clapped his hands happily, "The toilet needs a bright light. I used to go to the toilet in the dark and my feet would fall into the pit."

Lin Zhao: ...Today is the most delicious day of the day.

"Our brigade will be electrified soon, before the Lunar New Year."

The twins were even happier.

The guesthouse was located on the street, and their room was on the third floor. Lin Zhao drew back the curtains and opened the window, letting in sunlight. Pedestrians were passing by, making the place quite lively.

Hengbao tugged at Lin Zhao's clothes and said coquettishly, "Mommy, hug me, I want to see."

Lin Zhao fulfilled her son's small wish and picked him up.

Seeing his eldest son's expectant expression, Gu Chenghuai picked him up with one arm. Yu Bao smiled happily.

"Wow, so many people!" Hengbao exclaimed.

“If it weren’t the provincial capital, there would definitely be more people.” Lin Zhao ruffled her son’s hair, put Hengbao down without dawdling, and said, “You’re all sticky. Take a shower first, and then I’ll take you to the state-run store.”

"Is it the same as a supply and marketing cooperative?" Yu Bao asked.

Gu Chenghuai replied, "It's bigger than a supply and marketing cooperative."

The twins became excited, opened their luggage, found their clothes, hugged them to their arms, and looked up at their parents.

"Where do we go to take a bath?" Yu Bao asked on behalf of Yu Bao.

Gu Chenghuai didn't say anything, and took his two sons to the toilet to take a bath.

Not long after.

"Wow, it's hot water! How convenient! Dad, can we build a toilet like this in our house?" Hengbao's loud and cheerful voice rang out.

"Don't move."

Then came the father's steady voice.

Lin Zhao smiled and said to the twins, "Let's take a bath after the older brothers have finished."

Qianbao nodded.

Yao Bao lay on the bed, her black pearl-like eyes staring at the ceiling, then turning her head to look at the wall, so well-behaved and lovable.

After the family finished washing up, they went to the state-run store.

The state-run stores in the provincial capital were quite impressive, with three floors, many counters, and many sales clerks.

There were so many kids, I couldn't keep up with them all.

Lin Zhao spotted the ready-made clothes hanging behind the counter and led the twins toward it, with Gu Chenghuai following behind carrying the boy and girl twins.

"Comrade, do you have a yellow floral print dress in a size larger?" Lin Zhao asked the young sales clerk at the counter.

Salespeople see a lot of people, and they can tell at a glance who can afford it and who can't.

Before me... a family, or rather, a family. The men were fine, but the women looked excessively young; had they already given birth to four children?

The family was dressed neatly, had fair skin, and exuded confidence and composure; they seemed to be well-off.

"Yes, we do. But even a size bigger wouldn't fit you," the sales clerk kindly reminded you.

This one is for little girls, and it's not cheap, so not many people buy it.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you, comrade. I plan to give it to the younger generation in my family."

The salesperson didn't say anything more and found a size larger.

Lin Zhao glanced at the clothes; they were fine, and the size was about right. "I'll take them."

I saw some red and white checkered fabrics and blue fabrics with white flowers, so I bought a lot of them. They can be used to make clothes and bed sheets for the children.

It's a rare opportunity to come here.

Gu Chenghuai paid the bills from behind without uttering a single unnecessary word.

The children weren't interested in the fabric, but they all jumped for joy when they got to the candy counter.

"Mommy, so much candy!" Hengbao exclaimed with a smile.

“You and your brother can each choose two things,” Lin Zhao said generously.

Since she brought the children to the mall, she wasn't going to be stingy and let them leave disappointed.

Hengbao happily discussed it with his brother.

While the two were whispering, Lin Zhao saw some tea and bought two cans of it.

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao, here's an abacus, do you two want one?"

The two boys came running over, and when they saw the abacus, they remembered the little golden abacus they had found, and the two brothers were overjoyed.

"want!"

Lin Zhao said, "Then let's buy them, four of them."

As expected of the provincial capital, this abacus is much more exquisite and compact than those from the supply and marketing cooperative, making it perfect for children.

Yu Bao looked up and said, "Thank you, Mom."

He clenched his little fist, "I will study abacus hard and win first place in the competition."

"You mean the abacus competition? Who told you that?" Lin Zhao asked curiously.

“Xingci said so; he participated,” Yubao explained.

If the adults weren't told, then it probably failed halfway through.

Lin Zhao encouraged her son, "I believe in you. Study hard at school and try to make it to the provincial capital."

Let's set a smaller goal at the provincial or municipal level first, without considering the national level.

Yu Bao nodded solemnly.

They bought four abacuses, and each of the four boys took one, overjoyed.

They bought some other things and left reluctantly, still wanting more.

Gu Chenghuai said in a gentle voice, "If you haven't had enough fun... come again tomorrow."

Lin Zhao thought so too.

The family put their things back at the guesthouse, ate at a restaurant, and then went to see a movie.

The cinemas in the provincial capital are bigger than those in smaller towns, and there are vendors selling sunflower seeds and soft drinks at the entrance, which is very convenient.

only……

Given the current unfavorable social environment, Lin Zhao's family witnessed a brutal and inhumane fight.

She and Gu Chenghuai immediately covered the twins' eyes and quickly led Yu Bao and Heng Bao into the movie theater.

Unexpectedly, the twins witnessed the scene firsthand, and the two children turned pale with fright.

"Dad..." Yu Bao gripped Gu Chenghuai's clothes tightly, her voice panicked, "What are those people doing?"
