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

Chapter 274 "Just You Wait, You Little Brat"

Gu Chan's eyes were full of smiles. "It's nothing. I went for a check-up a few days ago, and the doctor said I'm recovering very well. It doesn't affect my work or my life. Stone's dad even muttered... after resting for several months, I've gained weight."

At this moment, Big Stone interjected, "My grandma scolded my dad for not appreciating his good fortune."

Little Stone covered his mouth and chuckled.

Hengbao pinched his cheeks and asked his aunt, "Auntie, am I fat?"

Gu Chan looked down and knew what her nephew wanted to hear. She nodded and said, "He's chubby, with a round face. He looks so lucky."

The villagers love chubby babies. When praising someone, they always say that their baby is chubby and looks like the baby in the painting. Hengbao loves to hear people praise him for being chubby.

"Where's my brother?"

Gu Chan: "...Your brother is chubby too. Qianbao and Yaobao are also round."

The flesh is firm and plump, so heavy it feels heavy in your hand.

Hengbao was very proud.

Yes, all four brothers are chubby babies.

That's how everyone in the village praises them, hehe.

Lin Zhao knew that Hengbao liked to hear people compliment her on her weight, so she shook her head helplessly and said nothing.

As they were talking, the group returned home.

With the two stones still there, Gu Chan didn't return to her dormitory and stayed in an empty room.

After playing with the Stone Brothers all day, and then sleeping together, the twins were so excited they couldn't sleep. After their bath, they insisted on listening to the radio.

"Listen if you want, but be mindful of the time; you must be asleep before 9:30."

Yu Bao immediately replied, "We know. Mom, you go to sleep, we'll go to sleep when it's time."

Lin Zhao didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
-
The group returned to the Fengshou Brigade the following afternoon.

After sitting in the third house for a while, we went to the old house.

Everyone in the village knew that Lin Zhao and Gu Xing'er didn't get along. Seeing that she didn't mention yesterday's wedding or make fun of the four kids, and only greeted them briefly, they turned their attention to Gu Chan.

"A-Chan has come back to see your parents again. She is such a filial daughter."

"Oh my, two stones have arrived too. They're growing really well and look more and more solid."

"A-Chan, how is your husband's recovery going?"

"Ah Chan, you're so busy with work, you didn't even have time to attend Xing'er's wedding."

……

Gu Chan was chatting warmly with the older women from the same village.

I picked and chose which questions to answer.

After a long and arduous journey, we finally arrived at my mother's house.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Noticing Lin Zhao's smiling gaze, he smiled helplessly at her.

The villagers were too hospitable, there was nothing I could do.

Adults have to exchange pleasantries, but children don't have this problem; they rush into the house and shout at the top of their lungs.

"Milk!!!"

"Grandma!!"

Mr. and Mrs. Gu hadn't seen their four children for almost a week and were very worried about them. When they heard Xiao Shitou's voice, they thought that Achan might have come too, so they quickened their pace and walked outside.

When I went outside, I saw several children with smiles on their faces.

"The four treasures are back," Father Gu said happily. "Big Stone and Little Stone are here too. Your grandma will stew chicken for you later."

Big Stone said sensibly, "We won't eat the chicken; we'll keep it to lay eggs."

“It’s alright, eat and then you can recover. My grandson has worked hard taking care of your father, so this is to help you both recover,” said Mr. Gu.

He wasn't a biased elder; he doted on his grandchildren and also on his own grandson.

Mother Gu hugged Xiao Shitou and touched her grandson's face. "He needs to be nourished. Look at my grandson's face, he's gotten thinner again."

Gu Chan looked at her two sons and fell silent.

Have you lost weight?
Since that family paid for her medical expenses, she got a job, and Wei Xiangdong and the two stones have had eggs every day for months without stopping.

The two boys have gained weight and haven't even caught a cold all winter.

The noticeable little boy, Hengbao, stepped forward, tilting his head up, and asked, "Grandma, do you think I've lost weight? Should I eat more to help me gain weight?!"

He asked the question with extreme seriousness.

Mother Gu looked down and her old face froze.

I just can't bring myself to say that you've lost weight...

Looking at the other three babies, they've all gotten rounder!

"...I haven't lost much weight?" she said hesitantly.

Hengbao immediately said smugly, "I eat my fill every day."

The grandson's antics were so adorable that Gu's mother couldn't help but hug him and shower him with affection.

"Good boy, Hengbao, eat your fill today too."

The elderly couple couldn't bear to eat the fine grains that Lin Zhao brought; they saved them all to cook for their children when they came over.

"Mmm." Hengbao nodded without hesitation, rubbing her little tummy, and said, "Grandma, make more, I'm so hungry, I can make as much as I want."

"Okay," Mrs. Gu replied with a smile. "What would you like to eat? How about noodles? And some fried eggs, they'll smell delicious."

Hengbao licked his lips, "Eat! I love anything Grandma makes!"

Yu Bao looked at Gu's mother with bright eyes and said affectionately, "Me too."

Seeing this, Little Stone, who doesn't like to talk much, praised, "Grandma's cooking is delicious, I like it too."

Gu Chan was surprised and looked at Lin Zhao, saying, "You still need to play with more lively children. Little Stone has learned to talk after being taught by his brother Hengbao."

Lin Zhaoxin said that she never worries about Hengbao when it comes to expressing himself.

"That's easy, just let them play together more."

Even a little socially anxious person can be turned into a little socially savvy person.

Gu Chan smiled and agreed. She couldn't stay idle, so she went to her parents' room to tidy up for them, washing and wiping everywhere, busy but efficient.

She was very organized and quick in her work. For Lin Zhao, watching her sister-in-law work was a pleasure.

……

With large and small bags in hand, Guan, a young intellectual, boarded the train.

The first half of the journey went smoothly, but after she went to the restroom, the flat road home became bumpy.

"Comrade, this is my seat."

The mean old woman, who had finally found an empty seat, glared at her with her menacing triangular eyes.

"Your seat? Where is your name written? Show me. This is my seat. You, a young lady... are taking advantage of an old man like me. Have you no shame?"

This was the first time Guan Zhiqing had encountered someone like this. Her mind went blank for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

I tried to communicate with the old lady.

"Are you sure you've got the right spot? This is my seat, all my luggage is up there..."

Before she could finish speaking, the mean old woman's triangular eyes widened, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "What? Your luggage? That's clearly my luggage!"

The old woman's muddy fingers almost scratched Guan Zhiqing. She said angrily, "You not only want to take my seat, but you also want to take my luggage? How can you be so shameless? You even bully the old man. If I were your parents, I would have drowned you in the chamber pot long ago."

She speaks so fast that it takes people a long time to react.

The old woman's words were so offensive that a straightforward young man nearby couldn't help but speak up: "You're being incredibly rude. This seat definitely belongs to this young lady; she was there when I boarded. You took her seat while she was away and then proceeded to hurl such insults at her... you..."

The old woman was quite domineering; she glared at her with her old eyes.

He interrupted the young man directly.

"Are you two on the same side?"

The young man was confused. "No..."

"It's not that you're nagging," the mean old woman said sharply, "that vixen really knows how to seduce people..."

Guan, the educated youth, didn't waste any more words. He turned around and left, then went to find the flight attendant and explained the situation.

The female flight attendant came over and tried to communicate with the elderly woman.

She remained unreasonable, shouting and yelling, and was very uncooperative.

This caused the other passengers in the carriage to stand up and watch the commotion.

When the staff's attempts to reason with her failed and their warnings were ignored, the mean-spirited old woman simply lay down on the ground, complaining of chest pain and accusing the railway staff of bullying her.

She was hurling insults and profanities. The female flight attendant, who had only been working for less than two years, was almost brought to tears.

Fortunately, her colleagues came over, comforting her while exchanging insults with the old woman lying on the ground.

It's not quite accurate to call it a shouting match, since the other person didn't utter a single swear word.

"...We've seen people like you before. After all, we serve so many people every day, it's inevitable that we'll encounter a few like you who evade fares, take other people's seats, and even bully young girls. There are all kinds of people, it's normal, it's all normal..."

Her sarcastic and cryptic remarks were a final warning to the old woman.

"If you pay the fare now and apologize to the young lady, we can pretend this never happened. But if you continue to cause trouble, we will have to forcibly remove you from here!"

The mean old woman was an unreasonable person in the village; she would always find a way to stir up trouble, no matter how unreasonable she was.

They believe that a loud voice and fearless antics will achieve their desired goals.

She lay on the ground, rolling around, her hair a mess, howling that the flight attendant had bullied, wronged, and abused her...

"...Take the person away from here first, so as not to affect other passengers."

Two male staff members went to pull the old woman off the ground.

But they couldn't pull him up.

This old woman was not only domineering, but also used to farm work, so she was quite strong and kept making a fuss.

Shouting:

"Someone's being a pervert! Someone's being a pervert! Being a pervert in public..."

The two young men looked at her wrinkled face, their expressions turning into a palette of colors, and they retreated in dismay.

What do we do if this old woman keeps pestering them?!

She caught sight of two soldiers passing by and asked for help in a low voice, feeling helpless.

After learning what had happened, the two soldiers frowned, rushed forward, and subdued the fussy old woman.

The person was brought under control and handed over to the train conductor.

The mean-spirited old woman seemed fearless, twisting her body and spitting at the person closest to her, shouting, "A bunch of bastards who have fathers but no mothers to raise them! You dare to kidnap me? My son won't let you get away with this! You'll all lose your jobs!"

The train attendant, who had been spat on, wiped her face and couldn't help but feel nauseous.

grass.

"...Damn it, I want to see whether your son loses his secure job first, or we do."

He's been working here for so long, and he's encountered all sorts of oddballs, but none as odd as this.

He didn't care before, but this time he has no choice but to care!
Just you wait, you little brat.

The young man felt utterly disgusted. He left the spot and went to wash his face, scrubbing it until it was red and peeling, but he still felt...unclean!
Hearing the train conductor's harsh words, the noisy old woman belatedly realized her unease and became much more subdued.

They promptly and efficiently paid the outstanding ticket.

The letter of introduction she carried revealed her home address.

Looking at the address, it was exactly where the uncle of the young man she had spat on lived.

then.

The mean-spirited old woman, who had been throwing a tantrum, didn't enjoy her life in the city for long before slinking back to her hometown. Her son, upon learning that his mother had ruined his years of hard work, hated her to death.

This is something.

Guan, the educated youth, thanked the train staff and soldiers who helped her.

"...Could you tell me your names?"

She wanted to write two thank-you notes.

"You're welcome, it's what we should do. My name is Yang Jin, and I'm a train attendant on this train."

"My name is Wenping."

"My name is Sun Yi, and the one who was disgusted and left is called Shen Jianshan."

Guan, the educated youth, wrote everything down and called out to the two soldiers who were leaving.

He took two steps forward to catch up.

"Wait, tell me your names too." Her eyes were sincere.

"No need..." Before the clear male voice could finish speaking, it was interrupted by another strong and powerful voice, "My name is Prosecutor Xu, and the man next to me is Lin Shifan."

Lin...Shifan?
Guan, the educated youth, looked at the young man who hadn't said much.

Lin Shifan noticed the strange look in her eyes and asked, "Do you know me?"

“…I don’t know him.” Guan Zhiqing shook his head.

"I was an educated youth from the Fengshou Brigade."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shifan understood. "You know my sister?"

Guan Zhiqing smiled and said, "If you are referring to Comrade Lin Zhao, then I do know her."

“She’s my sister.” Lin Shifan’s eyes were full of smiles as he spoke of his sister.

"How is my sister?" he asked.

He and his comrades completed their mission and hadn't returned to their unit for three months, so of course he didn't receive any letters from Zhao Zhao. When he ran into people from his "hometown," he naturally asked them a few more questions.

"Very good." Guan Zhiqing said some things he knew.

Learning about his sister's recent situation was an unexpected joy for Lin Shifan.

He said in a good mood, "We are in...carriage number...If you encounter any problems that we can't solve, feel free to come to us."

Guan Zhiqing's smile vanished.

No, she didn't want to experience anything unpleasant again!
Lin Shifan also realized that his "wishing" was not very auspicious, and said, "Never mind, I wish you a safe journey home."

"……Thanks."

Lin Shifan didn't say anything more, and left with his strange-looking comrade.

After completely out of sight of the pretty woman, Prosecutor Xu gave Lin Shifan a strange look and said in a low voice, "If you encounter any more problems that you can't solve, feel free to come to us."

"..."

Lin Shifan looked at him with a speechless expression, "Did you go to the toilet and eat shit?"

Xu Jian's face turned green.

He was about to order a meal.

Disgusted by Lin Shifan, she lost the will to tease him.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Guan, the educated youth, sat down and began writing a thank-you letter.

She asked Lin Shifan which military region they belonged to, but Lin Shifan said it had to be kept secret. Guan Zhiqing was skeptical and planned to write to Lin Zhao later to ask.

The rest of the journey went smoothly.

Mr. Guan took a day off specifically to pick up his daughter.

"Yu Yu!" The middle-aged man's face lit up with joy.

I was just about to say, you've lost weight and gotten darker...

Upon closer inspection, huh?! It doesn't seem to be black.

She has indeed lost weight, but she seems to be in good spirits.

Guan Yu didn't expect to see her father as soon as she got off the train. The girl, who was usually calm even when she went to the countryside, suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes.

"dad!"

Mr. Guan took the luggage from his daughter's hands, put his arm around her shoulder, and patted her gently a few times.

His voice was also a little choked up.

"Let's go home, let's go home. Your mom made a lot of your favorite foods at home."

His Yu Yu suffered.

The father and daughter returned home.

After quickly filling their stomachs, the family asked Guan Yu with concern if the journey had been smooth and whether he had suffered any grievances or bullying in the rural area...

Communication is communication, and it's different from talking face-to-face.

Guan Yu briefly recounted what had happened in the Fengshou Brigade.

Then she calmly recounted the unpleasant things that happened on the train.

"...You old bastard!" Mrs. Guan cursed angrily. "What kind of skill is it to bully a little girl? It's a good thing I wasn't here, otherwise I would have scratched her face to shreds!"

Mr. Guan remained relatively calm, but he still took several deep breaths.

"Yes, you should send a thank-you note. Dad will mail it for you later."

Thankfully, there were responsible train conductors and upright soldiers; otherwise, who knows how much mistreatment and bullying his Yuyu would have suffered.
