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

Chapter 224 "No Humanity Whatsoever"

Because they were so looking forward to returning to the Fengshou Brigade, the twins didn't eat much and seemed distracted, while Li Bao and the twins ate heartily.

After dinner, Lin Zhao didn't say anything about going back. Instead, she took the three children (Yu Bao, Heng Bao, and Li Bao) to get their hair cut.

Upon arriving at the barbershop, Hengbao, without any hesitation, said to the barber, "Comrade, I want a buzz cut! Give me a buzz cut!"

Afraid of being left behind, Yu Bao hurriedly added, "I want a buzz cut too!"

Li Bao scratched his head, "I'm the same as Yu Bao and Heng Bao!"

Children their age rarely make their own requests; they are usually dragged here by their parents, and the adults decide how they get their hair cut.

The barber came in and immediately made demands, with a very clear objective; this was truly the first time I'd ever seen someone like him.

"It's no use what you say, it's up to your parents to speak up."

He looked at Lin Zhao, unsure which of the three children she was; she looked like the older sister.

Lin Zhao nodded slightly, "I'll listen to them."

The parents were happy, and the barber had no objections either. He looked at the three boys and asked, "Who wants to go first?"

Hengbao and Libao both looked at Yubao at the same time.

Yu Bao stepped forward, "I'll go first."

He's gotten used to it, always being at the forefront of everything.

The barber patted the back of the stool. "Sit down!"

Yu Bao jumped up, sat upright, with a large piece of oilcloth wrapped around his neck, and didn't move.

When children are obedient, the barber's job is easier.

One head every two minutes.

The three heads were taken in less than ten minutes.

Lin Zhao led the children away from the barbershop, looked at the three little bald heads, and asked with a smile, "Is your head cold?"

"A little bit, hehe." Hengbao touched his head, it felt prickly, and he couldn't help touching it a few more times.

Yu Bao said, "We can wear hats."

Li Bao didn't wear a hat, and he didn't say anything either. He did the same thing as Heng Bao, smiling foolishly.

Lin Zhao's heart softened. "Li Bao also has a hat, just like Yu Bao and Heng Bao's."

"Huh?" Yu Bao's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Mom, you bought this for Li Bao?!"

"Yes, we bought one more." Lin Zhao told the children to walk on both sides of the road.

Li Bao looked at her third aunt, her eyes moist.

Yu Bao clapped his hands excitedly, "Great! We can wear matching hats tomorrow!"

There's a kind of excitement that makes you disregard the lives of others.

"Thank you, Third Aunt." Li Bao took Lin Zhao's hand and thanked her softly.

"You're welcome." Lin Zhao said patiently. "Li Bao, if you drink your medicine obediently, the hat is your reward."

After being praised, Li Bao felt a surge of joy, thinking, "I'll drink it obediently from now on."

Lin Zhao gently shook her head, "Don't say that! Take good care of yourself from now on. Wear more clothes when it's cold, don't kick off the covers at night, and drink water every day... Try to get sick less often and keep your body strong. That's better than anything else."

Li Bao nodded solemnly, "Yes, I've got it."

Yu Bao also said, "I've remembered that too. I'll keep an eye on my younger siblings."

"Yu Bao is the best behaved." Lin Zhao praised without hesitation.

As they were talking, the group returned home.

Before I even got to my doorstep, I saw a handcart parked there, piled high with things, and the twins were sitting on it.

Song Yunjin pushed the cart back and forth, using it as a cradle to coax Qianbao and Yaobao to play.

He looked up and saw Lin Zhao and the three treasures returning.

The voice asked urgently, "Sister, are you done packing? Are we going back now?"

Everyone else was in a hurry, but she wasn't.

Lin Zhao simply said, "Let's go back!"

Yu Bao and Heng Bao jumped very high, and a string of happy laughter flowed from their mouths.

"Back to the brigade!!" Hengbao shouted, pulling his brother and Libao back to their room to get their things.

The candy they had collected, thick coats, small shoulder bags, hats...

Fully equipped.

Lin Zhao also went back to the house to retrieve her and the twins' belongings.

After packing it all up, it made quite a large bag.

She came out carrying her bag, saw Li Bao, and put the hat she was holding on his head.

A quick glance.

"nice."

Hengbao raised his chin slightly, looking very proud, and leaned his head towards Libao, asking, "Do we look like triplets?"

"..."

Lin Zhao remained silent for a moment, then said, "It's similar."

The hat is similar, but the face is nothing like it.

Hengbao became smug, sticking out her belly, and skipped out the door, holding Yubao and Libao's hands.

Lin Zhao turned around, locked the room door, called out to Big Yellow Amber, and headed back to the brigade.

Song Yunjin pushed the cart, with the twins sitting on it, sprawled out on the old mattress their uncle had laid out, their eyes gazing at the ever-changing clouds. Little Jin nestled between the two little ones, mimicking their posture exactly.

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao, Li Bao, would you three like to sit? There are still seats available in the front," Song Yunjin asked, looking at the three children.

Yu Bao held his mother's hand and shook his head, "I'll walk back with Mom."

Hengbao hesitated, but ultimately her desire to ride in the car won out. "I want to ride," she said.

Song Yunjin stopped and winked at him, "Go!"

Slippery.

Hengbao scurried up like a little monkey.

"Where's Li Bao?" Song Yunjin asked him specifically, afraid that he might feel embarrassed.

Li Bao wasn't interested, "No!"

He sat there; without a cushion, his butt would hurt.

Song Yunjin didn't say anything more and continued pushing the cart.

"If you get tired, leave it to me," Lin Zhao said.

"It's impossible to get tired," Song Yunjin said confidently. "This is only a small amount of weight."

As he spoke, he accelerated the push.

Hengbao shouted excitedly, "This is fun! Uncle, go faster!"

Song Yunjin simply started jogging.

crunch.

The cart slid across the dirt road, making a sound.

"Slow down!" Lin Zhao shouted.

Holding Yu Bao and Li Bao's hands, with two dogs following beside them, they quickly caught up.

The big yellow amber eats well, so it has a plump body, smooth fur, and strong limbs. It is quite frightening to walk on the road, attracting the attention of passersby.

"What a fat dog!" the passing kid blurted out, his voice full of shock.

Big Yellow looked at him.

The brat shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

The men looked at the two dogs with admiration. "They're fat. I've never seen such imposing dogs. I wonder how they've raised them!"

Older people had a different opinion, saying in a lecturing tone: "People can't even afford to eat, yet they keep dogs. They're so fat, and they're wasting so much food. It would be so much better to kill the big one and eat it."

He clicked his tongue as he spoke.

Yu Bao overheard this, and fear flashed in his eyes as he tightened his grip on Lin Zhao's hand slightly.

Her voice was tense as she said, "Mom."

"Don't worry, Big Yellow can even beat wolves, no one can hurt it." Lin Zhao squeezed the child's hand.

She wasn't surprised by what the passersby said; how could someone who's starving have any sense of reason?

That's why she wanted to go back to the brigade when there weren't many people around.

Yu Bao breathed a sigh of relief as he recalled Da Huang's legendary exploits in the mountains.

He picked up the chubby Amber and walked quickly forward, whispering in Big Yellow's ear, "Big Yellow, you have to protect yourself and your baby. Keep it away from bad people! They're bad; they want to kill you and eat you!"

Big Yellow seemed to understand and barked.

Yu Bao managed to free one hand to pat Da Huang's head as a form of praise.

“Big Yellow is the best.” Seeing that Yu Bao couldn’t hold the now much bigger and fatter Amber, Lin Zhao said, “Let Amber walk by herself. I’m here, no one will dare to lay a hand on it.”

Yu Bao couldn't carry it anymore, so he put Amber down.

"Amber, stay close to us, or you'll get caught by bad guys!" he warned the puppy.

Amber circled around its little owner, barking a few times and wagging its tail rapidly.

Yu Bao looked delighted, grabbed its right paw and shook it a few times, "We made a deal."

Amber rubbed its head against Yu Bao's leg, "Woof..."

"Mom, Amber promised me, right?" Yu Bao looked up at Lin Zhao with surprise and delight.

“Yes,” Lin Zhao said.

The four kids consider the two dogs and Little Gold as their companions, and they can't bear to lose any of them!
"Stop dawdling, hurry up and get back to the village... They can run away however they want without any problem."

Yu Bao thought about it and agreed. He took a starting step and ran forward.

Song Yunjin glared at the person who suggested killing Dahuang and cursed under her breath.

They even covet dogs; they have no humanity at all!

Lin Zhao just wanted to get home quickly, urging, "Yun Jin, hurry back."

The sky suddenly darkened; it looked like it was going to rain.

Yun Jin came to her senses and didn't go up to fight the old man. She continued to push the cart, huffing and puffing.

Ten minutes later, there were hardly any people on the road, and the sky had completely darkened.

"Is it going to rain?" Song Yunjin's expression changed slightly.

Lin Zhao remained calm. "Let's hurry and get home before it rains."

She pulled Yu Bao and Li Bao along quickly. Heng Bao didn't sit for long before complaining of a sore bottom and got off the car. Now he was jogging, chasing after Da Huang, and walking in the lead.

Song Yunjin sped up again.

The group hurried home before the raindrops started falling.

Just as I carried the things from the cart to the bamboo table under the eaves and packed up the cart, large raindrops began to fall from the sky, hitting the roof with a pattering sound.

"It's raining!!" Yu Bao shouted.

Song Yunjin: "We were pretty lucky, we almost got soaked in the rain."

After saying that, he looked smugly at Lin Zhao, "Sis, it's useful to have me with you, isn't it? You didn't want to take me with you before, but I'm very useful!"

"I'm just afraid of trouble." Lin Zhao rolled her eyes at him.

“What trouble? It’s not troublesome at all. There’s no trouble at all for you. You’re being too polite, sister!” Song Yunjin said.

Lin Zhao ignored him.

I don’t know what my uncle said to Yun Jin, but in his mind, she seemed to be incomplete, and he had to interfere in everything she did.

Yu Bao, Heng Bao, and Li Bao stood under the eaves, reaching out to catch the raindrops. Feeling the raindrops hitting their palms, they giggled.

A moment later, Hengbao turned his head and asked, "Mommy, I miss Grandpa and Grandma. Can I go back to the old house?"

Yu Bao's face also showed anticipation.

Song Yunjin suggested, "It's raining, let's wait until it stops before we go."

It was getting cold, and he was worried that the twins would catch a cold.

The eyes of both children dimmed.

Lin Zhao added, "Go if you want to, but put on your raincoat and rain boots."

Fortunately, she was prepared.

"Huh?" Hengbao asked in confusion.

"Wait."

After saying that, Lin Zhao turned around and went back into the house. He opened the wardrobe, took out two raincoats and two pairs of rain boots, and remembering that Li Bao was there, he took out another set from his storage ring.

We're also short of Yun brocade, so let's just get a larger one.

The children's raincoats were bright yellow, and their rain boots were the same color.

Seeing such bright colors, the three children's eyes sparkled.

Lin Zhao unfolded a raincoat, put it on Yu Bao, took off the hood from his head, and put the raincoat's hood on him.

"Now you won't be afraid of the rain. Sit down and change your shoes." She let Yu Bao change his shoes himself, and then quickly put raincoats on Heng Bao and Li Bao.

The little kid was so short, wearing a bright yellow raincoat, he looked so cute and adorable.

"It looks good," Lin Zhao commented, then muttered to herself, "Kids should wear bright colors, it's so cute."

The three kids put on their rain boots, tucked their pants into the boots, and the size was just right, so they didn't feel clumsy when walking.

They walked into the rain and found that they didn't get wet. The three little ones held hands and happily twirled around in the rain.

Yao Bao also wanted to rush into the rain, but Song Yunjin quickly scooped her up and held her under his arm.

“You’re not wearing a raincoat, so you can’t rush in. If you get sick, you’ll need a shot, and shots will hurt.” He tried to reason with the little boy.

Yao Bao had never had a shot and didn't understand the concept. Seeing her brother playing in the rain, she wanted to play too, flapping her limbs and constantly shouting that she wanted it.

Song Yunjin had no choice but to hold Yaobao in one arm and reach for the remaining raincoat with the other. However, she found that the raincoat was too big, and the rain boots wrapped in it were also too big, far too big for the twins to wear.

A sense of anticipation welled up in his heart, and he suddenly looked up, "Sister?"

"Here you go," Lin Zhao said softly.

Upon hearing this, Song Yunjin's mouth stretched almost to the back of her head in a wide grin.

"Sis, where did you get so many raincoats and rain boots? Didn't you say they were hard to buy?" He touched the raincoats and rain boots, his face full of smiles.

It rains a lot this season, so he wears a raincoat to school, which keeps him dry, but his trousers inevitably get wet. If the rain is heavy, not only are his shoes soaked, but his trousers can also get wet up to his knees.

"I'm just a sales clerk at a supply and marketing cooperative, what can't I get?" Lin Zhao said proudly.

Song Yunjin thought to herself, "That's impressive."

Watching the twins running in the rain, he sighed and said, "Sister, you didn't have a raincoat or rain boots when you went to school. If you had, you definitely wouldn't have been sick every year."

"..."

Lin Zhao: "You're getting sentimental now... It's just a cold, nothing serious."

Song Yunjin had a different opinion: "Colds are so uncomfortable. Every time you catch a cold, you can't eat or sleep well for several days in a row. Your voice sounds like a pig squealing. You don't even have the energy to scold me and my brother... My parents were most afraid of you getting sick back then."

Once he opens his mouth, he blurts out whatever comes to mind.

Lin Zhao: “?”

"Does my voice sound like a pig's squeal?"

"How come I don't remember?!" She squinted at the outspoken Song Yunjin, her eyes filled with threat.

Song Yunjin immediately became honest and explained incoherently, "...Sister, you know, that's not what I meant. I just...feel sorry for you because you suffered so much in school."

Lin Zhao: "Going to school is never easy."

"I think it's alright." Song Yunjin smiled brightly.

"You have a lot of energy."

“Not as good as my aunt.” While battling wits with Yao Bao to stop her from wearing a raincoat, Song Yunjin spoke to Lin Zhao, “Sister, why did you suddenly decide to buy me a raincoat and rain boots? My parents didn’t even think of it.”

"It's not that my uncle and aunt didn't remember, it's just that they haven't been able to get the tickets yet," Lin Zhao explained.

Raincoats and rain boots are made of rubber, and coupons for them are even rarer than coupons for oil and sugar. They are also daily necessities, so everyone can afford them if they are frugal. Of course, they won't spend them.

"I know," Song Yunjin knew his parents were good to him. "From now on, I'll be the second person in my family to have a raincoat and rain boots!"

When he goes back and wears it to his brother, I guarantee he'll be so envious he'll cry.

Hey.

Just then, Hengbao, having had enough of playing in the rain, asked Lin Zhao through the rain curtain, "Mommy, can we go see Grandpa and Grandma now?"

You're just trying to show off!
"Go on, walk slowly, don't run." Lin Zhao didn't stop them; you can stop people, but you can't stop their hearts.

Thinking about tomorrow's birthday, Yu Bao said, "Shall we go find Tie Niu and Yuan Bao and tell them that it's my and Heng Bao's birthday tomorrow?"

"……Row."

Lin Zhaoyi agreed, and the three children ran wild.

Upon leaving home, I saw many commune members wearing raincoats or straw hats.

Hengbao had loudly called out to every familiar person in the community.

The villagers stopped when they saw them.

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao, you two are back! You're dressed so nicely, is that something from the city?"

"This yellow is really eye-catching; you can see it from a long distance."

“Li Bao is wearing it too. Your third aunt is really good to you.”

"Yu Bao, I heard your aunt is going to become a city dweller, is that true?"

……

The villagers were busy gossiping, standing under the eaves, asking the Gu family's twins questions.

Hengbao answered without hesitation, "That's right, my aunt is about to become a city dweller!"
