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

Chapter 227 "Zhao Zhao Can't Bear to See Me Get Hurt"

The two children unpacked the package very carefully, their noses sweating with nervousness.

Lin Zhao chuckled, "Go ahead and dismantle it without worry, what's there to be nervous about?"

Knowing her son's father as she did, if it were truly what the twins wanted, he would have wrapped it up in layers of protective covering. After all, he's a bit of a perfectionist and wouldn't allow... the item to arrive in his son's hands damaged.

Her persuasion was useless; Yu Bao continued to slowly dismantle the device, and Heng Bao's anxiety was of no use. If he used even a little too much force, he would get a glare from his brother.

Hengbao felt wronged and sighed.

My brother is so fierce!

Yu Bao awkwardly tried to help, his forehead covered in sweat.

Lin Zhao couldn't help but laugh when she saw Heng Bao being scolded by Yu Bao and not daring to utter a sound.

The two boys squatted on the ground and looked up at their mother.

Yu Bao looked a little embarrassed and asked, "Mom, what are you laughing at?"

She looked a little shy.

"I'm laughing at how cute you are." Lin Zhao's eyes were gentle.

Meeting that gaze, Yu Bao felt warm all over and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a cute smile.

Hengbao looked at his mother, then at his brother, not knowing what they were laughing at, and started to laugh too.

Qianbao looked on with a serious expression, while Yaobao squeezed next to her brothers, making things worse.

Yu Bao gasped for breath.

Today is the twins' birthday, and Song Yunjin and his sister share the same goal—to make Yubao and Hengbao happy and carefree.

He scooped up the mischievous Yao Bao, placed her on his neck, and nervously protected her with both hands, leading her to see the flowers that had already withered.

Yu Bao visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hengbao also said, "The troublemaker is finally gone."

Yu Bao thought so too, but said aloud, "Don't talk about your sister like that."

They are the older brothers and should be tolerant of their younger siblings.

Hengbao listened to her brother, "...Okay, I won't say anything more."

Lin Zhao watched as the eldest son taught the second son, without saying a word.

If the general direction is correct, then let them be.

While instructing Hengbao with a smile, Yubao's hands didn't stop, peeling back the tightly wrapped gift box layer by layer.

In a short time, three layers were peeled off.

He was very patient and his emotions were unusually stable. Seeing that he couldn't finish taking it apart, he brought a small stool, sat down, and slowly untied it.

Lin Zhao spoke up: "Do you need any help?"

"No need, I can do it." Yu Bao found it fun and wasn't in a hurry at all, slowly unpacking it.

He felt he could always take it apart.

Infected by his brother's composure, Hengbao stopped being impatient and helped quietly. Yubao didn't mind and gave him a chance to work together. After a while, Hengbao calmed down completely, and the impatience on his face disappeared.

Lin Zhao sighed, "It's so good to have a child who is emotionally stable."

My gaze drifted to Qianbao; he was stable too, even more stable than his older brother.

She stretched out her arms and hugged the little one.

"Mommy?" Qianbao's bright eyes looked blank as he called out in a childish voice.

"It's nothing, I just want to hold the baby." Lin Zhao's voice was gentle as she lowered her head and rubbed her nose against the little one's nose, her words filled with a smile, "How can you be so well-behaved, so adorable."

Qianbao's eyes were wet. She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she gave a shy and bashful smile.

He didn't move, nestled obediently in Lin Zhao's arms, a hint of joy flashing in his calm eyes.

It's clear that children are happy when they are close to their mothers.

Hengbao watched with envy and made a request without hesitation, "Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight!"

Fearing Lin Zhao might disagree, he said, "You said that the birthday boy can ask for anything. I want to sleep with you, and I want to hear you tell me stories. You haven't told us any stories in so long!"

"?"

Nonsense.

Lin Zhao refuted this in her mind.

When they were in the county, which night didn't she tell them stories? Which night didn't she only go back to her own room after putting them to sleep?

That's utter nonsense.

Yu Bao paused slightly and looked at his mother expectantly.

He also wants to...

Seeing this, Lin Zhao compromised, "Okay, just for one night." She added.

It's so comfortable to sleep in a big bed all by myself!

She doesn't want to share!

Gu Chenghuai: "...?"

Hengbao wasn't greedy. "Okay, we'll move back tomorrow morning."

Lin Zhao nearly stared wide-eyed.

Why use words like "bring it back"? It's just a pillow.
Yu Bao said, "One night is enough. Mom has to go to work and needs to get some rest."

Feeling that he had touched something hard, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice rose slightly as he said, "It's out."

The ground was now covered with newspapers.

Hengbao looked over excitedly, "What is it? What is it?!"

Yu Bao disassembled it even more carefully.

After removing the newspaper from the surface, I saw a cardboard box.

“It’s a cardboard box!” he said.

Then open it carefully.

The bottom of the box was lined with soft wheat straw, and on top of it was a toy car, which appeared to be made of plastic.

Hengbao excitedly touched it, his movements very gentle, his voice soaring to the heavens.

"It's a car! It's a big car!! The car I've been thinking about!!!" he shouted happily, "Dad kept his word, he really brought me a car!"

As he spoke, he picked up the toy car, hugged it to his chest, and his smile was brighter than the sun.

"I love this birthday present! I love it so much!!"

Yu Bao was a little disappointed when he saw that the winning number wasn't his, but when he saw Heng Bao's happy smile, that feeling quickly disappeared, and he was happy for his younger brother.

"Hengbao, this car is really impressive!" he exclaimed.

Hengbao didn't forget his brother either. He put away his beloved car and asked Dahuang to watch it for him while he and Yubao unpacked the other boxes.

Next, the box that was the same size as the toy car was unpacked.

The two brothers worked together and quickly dismantled the last layer.

Hengbao didn't try to open it, urging Yubao, "Brother, hurry up and open it, it must be your airplane! I don't even know what an airplane looks like!"

Yu Bao's heart was pounding; he was very nervous.

His face flushed with excitement.

He opened the box, and inside was something white with a hint of red.

It is indeed an airplane.

but.

This is unfamiliar to Yubao today.

After all, he had never seen an airplane before and didn't know what an airplane looked like. Even though he had seen movies, when a model airplane actually appeared in front of him, he still couldn't make the connection.

"Mom?" Yu Bao's eyes were filled with helplessness.

Lin Zhao laughed, "Haven't you always wanted one? This is an airplane."

Qianbao, nestled in his mother's arms, uttered, "It has wings."

"Qianbao has such good eyesight, he spotted the wings right away." Lin Zhao gently rubbed his soft cheeks, her tone tender and doting.

Yu Bao took out the toy airplane, his gaze sweeping over it inch by inch, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

“Dad is so good,” he said.

He misses his father.

Gu Chenghuai also missed his wife and children.

After completing his mission, he returned to the military region, first reported to his superiors, and then went to the hospital to apply medicine. Worried about his fourth brother-in-law and Zhao Zhao's injuries, Gu Chenghuai originally intended to apply the medicine discreetly and then call his wife.

I wonder if they received the things I sent. Come to think of it, today is Yu Bao and Heng Bao's birthday. How did they spend it...?
Little did she know, she would run into Meng Jiusi as soon as she entered the hospital.

"...Fourth Brother." Gu Chenghuai had nowhere to hide, so he honestly called out to him.

Meng Jiusi's gaze fell on her brother-in-law's face.

He's really down on his luck.

His hair and beard had grown long, he had two scratches on the ends of his eyebrows, and his clothes were dirty and smelled bad. He looked disheveled, but the muscles in his arms had become more and more muscular, and his eyes and brows had become more deep-set.

"Where are you hurt?" Meng Jiusi put the pen into the pocket of his white coat and glanced at his brother-in-law.

Gu Chenghuai said calmly, "Your arm is scratched, but it's nothing serious. Just put some medicine on it."

After explaining his condition, he looked at Meng Jiusi with sincere eyes and said earnestly, "He'll be fine after half a month of rest. Fourth Brother, please don't tell Zhaozhao."

Meng Jiusi knew what was important and didn't want to say anything more.

"will not."

Telling my sister would only cause her more worry.

He gave Gu Chenghuai a look and said, "Come to my office, I'll take a look at you."

This is his brother-in-law; he can't rest easy until he sees the injury with his own eyes.

"Thank you for your help, Fourth Brother." Gu Chenghuai, needing a favor from someone, obediently followed.

Meng Jiusi glanced at him and said, "We're family, why be so polite?"

Gu Chenghuai smiled, the smile softening the fierce look on his face. "I'm used to it."

Both of them had long legs and walked with the speed of the wind, quickly arriving at Meng Jiusi's office.

Gu Chenghuai glanced over, then casually sat down, resting his injured arm on the table. His voice was deep and powerful, “It seems Fourth Brother has adapted.”

He didn't ask the other party if they had encountered any trouble. This was someone Chief Ning brought back, and as long as they weren't idiots, no one would dare to offend him.

“It’s been so long, of course we’ve gotten used to it.” Meng Jiusi fetched the first-aid kit and winked at her brother-in-law, “Roll up your sleeves.”

Gu Chenghuai rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arm wrapped in gauze.

The white bandages were now stained red with blood.

Meng Jiusi had been in the army for a month or so, but he still hadn't gotten used to these soldiers... They were amazing, with unparalleled pain tolerance. No matter how serious their injuries were, they seemed not to feel any pain. They were always thinking about training, which made Meng Jiusi feel both helpless and respectful.

He unwrapped the blood-stained gauze and saw a deep wound that exposed bone; his brows immediately furrowed.

"This is just a minor scratch?" Meng Jiusi stared disapprovingly at her brother-in-law. "What constitutes a serious injury to you? Would you dare tell Zhaozhao that?"

Gu Chenghuai touched the tip of his nose. "...I wouldn't dare."

Imagining his wife's reaction, his hardened heart softened and felt sweet.

"Zhao Zhao can't bear to see me get hurt." His voice softened considerably.

Meng Jiusi's finger trembled, and she almost poked Gu Chenghuai's wound.

For those who are smug and boastful.

He ignored it.

Gu Chenghuai continued, "Every time I go home to visit my family, Zhaozhao counts the number of scars on my body. If there's one more... she'll get angry and ignore me for a whole day."

"Does Fourth Brother know why it's one day?" he asked seriously.

Meng Jiusi: "...I don't know."

I didn't care that much.

Gu Chenghuai couldn't help but smile. "Because Zhaozhao cherishes the time she spends with me. She said... she doesn't want to waste time being angry."

"..."

Meng Jiusi was so embarrassed by his brother-in-law's display that he wanted to gauze to shut him up.

When he was in the brigade, he behaved normally, calm and reliable, and didn't talk much. Who knew that after getting to know him, he would become a show-off, and a show-off who loved to flaunt his love for his partner.

Are you taking advantage of his single status?
(；＿)
Meng Jiu thought of a point for retaliation, and looked at him with a half-smile, "When Zhao Zhao comes to join the army with her four children, she will know even if you scrape your finger. How will you deal with that then?"

Gu Chenghuai's expression froze for a moment, then he responded with silence.

"...Please hurry up, I need to call my wife and kids urgently," he said.

Meng Jiusi smiled and focused on applying the medicine to him, skillfully wrapping it with gauze.

Just then, Jingmo came over with her younger brother.

The two brothers were used to coming here; they would just knock on the door formally and walk straight in.

Upon entering, I saw my uncle's disheveled appearance, and then, upon closer inspection, I realized he was injured.

"Uncle, you're back from your mission," Jingmo greeted him.

"Okay." Gu Chenghuai nodded. "I'll bring you candy next time."

Jingmo didn't stand on ceremony with his uncle and asked with a smile, "Okay."

Upon seeing them again, Gu Chenghuai noticed a significant change in his wife's two nephews. They had transformed from gloomy and silent boys into more cheerful ones.

Indeed, the environment has a significant impact on a child's development.

Guangbai climbed onto another chair, took his father's enamel mug, and started drinking water, his eyes fixed on his uncle.

"Uncle, are you hurt?" the little boy asked in his adorable voice.

Meng Jiusi never neglected her children. After arriving at the military region, she bought milk powder, malted milk powder, and red date cake for her two sons. She also bought meat every few days to supplement the nutrition of Jingmo and Guangbai.

In a short time, the two boys gained weight, especially Guangbai, whose face became chubby and looked fair and tender. Wearing new clothes, he was nothing like the pitiful child Gu Chenghuai had first met.

Gu Chenghuai's gaze was gentle, and his words were soft, "You scraped your skin."

Jingmo: !! You're lying.

He saw the blood-stained gauze! My uncle was injured!! He's lying to the child!!!

Guangbai took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Uncle, eat some candy. Eating candy will help you recover faster."

Gu Chenghuai was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly.

Where did this assertion come from?

"You eat it yourself..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guangbai straightened up, put the candy on the table, and pushed it towards him with his short, small hands.

Meeting his uncle's deep eyes, he shrank back, his fingers curling slightly as he lowered his head.

Gu Chenghuai couldn't express his feelings.

He taught his fourth brother-in-law's two children very well.

Just as good as his Yu Bao and Heng Bao.

"...Thank you, Xiaobai." His voice was hoarse as he accepted the child's gift and thanked his nephew.

Guangbai gave a shy smile and said softly, "No... you're welcome."

Meng Jiusi washed her hands, rubbed her son's head, and encouraged Xiaobai with a gentle smile on her face.

The little one snuggled into his father's arms, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

Meng Jiusi hugged him, gently patted his son's back, looked at Gu Chenghuai, and said, "Shall we have lunch together this afternoon?"

My brother-in-law lost blood and needs to be replenished.

He had just bought meat early in the morning.

Gu Chenghuai didn't stand on ceremony, "Okay."

He was in a hurry to call his wife, so he didn't linger. He put his sleeves on, said something, and left.

After leaving the hospital, I jogged towards where I had made the call.

After Sun Yeli finished treating his injuries, he saw Gu Chenghuai and was about to call him back to the dormitory when, before he could finish speaking, the man ran off and disappeared from his sight in an instant.

"...Are you in a hurry to eat?"

It's not lunchtime yet.

A sudden inspiration struck me.

—I will definitely make the call.

On the way to the mission, he mentioned that he hadn't had a chance to tell his wife yet, and he didn't know if he could come back before his son's birthday...?!
Sun Yeli didn't chase after him, yawned, and went back to his dormitory alone.

Back at the military region, Gu Chenghuai was completely relaxed, his mind filled with thoughts of his wife, and he didn't hear the voices of his comrades.

He went straight to where he was making the call.

My heart was pounding as I dialed the number.

Is it possible to contact someone?
