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

Chapter 279 "Too Loud"

Xiao Bai responded with an "oh".

Jingmo looked at him, "You're not missing her, are you?"

If that's true, he's going to hit someone!

Xiaobai shook her head quickly, her voice soft and gentle, "No, I hope she stays home for a few more days, and preferably doesn't come back."

His older brother looked terrifying when he was being fierce, and he was scared.

Jingmo's expression relaxed, and he sighed, "Impossible, Maodan said she'll come again in a while."

Xiao Bai also sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" Jingmo asked, speechless.

"I'm afraid you'll argue with her. You're too fierce," Xiaobai said honestly.

"..." Jingmo was speechless for a moment, then raised his voice, "What are you afraid of? I didn't yell at you."

Little White looked aggrieved. "But I'm just scared."

The older brother was extremely frustrated, saying, "You're too timid, this won't do."

"I can't control myself," Xiaobai babbled.

Jingmo pinched his little mouth, "You can talk a lot when you're talking back to me, you don't look scared at all."

Little White blinked, looking like it was easy to bully.

As they were talking, the two brothers arrived at the Ning family's house.

"Grandma Ning, we've come to find Cat Egg."

Grandma Ning pointed upstairs, "Upstairs, you two can go find it yourselves. Be careful going upstairs, don't fall."

“We know.” Jingmo led her younger brother upstairs.

I parked in front of Cat Egg's room with practiced ease.

A few thumping sounds.

A voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Jingmo pushed open the door and went inside. Inside, Maodan was doing his homework.

"Cat Egg".

Cat Egg was quite surprised to see the Meng brothers. "What brings you here?"

He took out two oranges and gave them to Jingmo and Guangbai.

"Eat these oranges. My dad bought them for me. They're sweet and sour, and quite delicious. I left them for you guys."

Jingmo thanked him, "Thank you."

Little White thanked him softly, looking as obedient as could be, "Thank you, Brother Cat Egg."

"You're welcome," Cat Egg waved casually.

"What brings you here?" he asked.

Jingmo said in a light tone, "My aunt is bringing Yu Bao and Heng Bao to visit relatives."

Cat Egg's pencil slipped from her hand, and she turned around abruptly, "Really?"

“Why would I lie to you? My uncle-in-law said so. He even bought a new electric fan for the house,” Jingmo said.

Cat Egg clapped her hands and smiled broadly, "That's great! I haven't seen Yu Bao and Heng Bao in so long, and Aunt Lin too."

"When will they arrive? Should we pick them up then?" he asked Jingmo for his opinion.

Jingmo: "No need, my uncle will pick up my aunt and Yu Baoheng."

Without even asking, he knew that his uncle definitely wouldn't take them, complaining that they took up too much space.

Gu Chenghuai: You do have some self-awareness.

“Okay, then we’ll wait for them at the military region,” Cat Egg said dejectedly.

Thinking that Yu Bao and Heng Bao would be coming soon made her happy again.

He opened the drawer, and inside were all the nice things he had saved up for the twins.

How long will they stay?

Jingmo was taken aback. "I didn't know that."

After finishing the orange, Xiaobai, holding the peel and smelling it, asked, "A whole summer vacation?"

The two boys looked at him simultaneously.

“That makes sense,” Jingmo said.

"Staying here for the whole summer vacation wouldn't be bad!" Cat Egg was very excited.

After saying that, he asked, "Where do they live?"

So excited, he even forgot about Gu Chenghuai's application for a courtyard.

"We're living in the courtyard my uncle got." Jingmo shrugged and nudged his arm. "You forgot?"

Cat Egg really forgot.

That evening, Meng Jiusi also learned that his younger sister was coming.

He was overjoyed.

“Perfect timing. I have the next two days off, so I can help my brother-in-law by buying some things.”

Grandpa Meng said, "Has young Gu finished adding almost everything?"

"It's almost done, but we're still missing a few small items." Meng Jiusi knew his younger sister well; Zhao Zhao was particular about life and liked pretty things, such as cushions, blankets, or curtains. Cheng Huai might not be able to think of all of them, so he had to go and take a look.

"Then you can help add some." Old Master Meng was generous. He went back into the house and brought out a few ten-yuan bills for him. "Keep this money and use it to buy things for Zhaozhao. I don't know what she likes, so you young people will have to figure it out."

“…I have money.” Meng Jiusi refused to accept it.

Old Master Meng said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense! This is for Zhaozhao. You're just a gofer; you have no right to refuse on Zhaozhao's behalf. This money needs to be spent on that courtyard. I need to check the accounts."

Meng Jiusi: "..."

He looked over helplessly.

"What are you looking at? I mean what I say." Old Master Meng snorted and turned to go back into the house.

Left with no other choice, Meng Jiusi had to accept the money.

"MoMo, XiaoBai, you two stay home. I'm going to a fellow villager's house to make something."

Xiao Bai rushed over and hugged his leg, "Daddy, I want to go."

Meng Jiusi dotes on his son and is happy to satisfy him on matters that are not of principle.

“It’s a bit far, you’ll have to ride a bicycle there. The road is bad, your butt might hurt from sitting there. Don’t complain about the pain on the way,” Meng Jiusi said to his son.

"I'm not afraid!" Little White said crisply.

"Is Momo going?" Meng Jiusi turned to ask his eldest son.

Jingmo also wanted to go out with her father, so she immediately said, "Let's go!"

"go!"

Meng Jiusi went to get his bicycle, and the two brothers held hands and waited at the door.

This trip to the villager's home was very rewarding.

They went straight to the courtyard that Gu Chenghuai had applied for.

The gate will be open at that time.

Xiao Bai ran into the house, calling out, "Uncle!"

After entering the courtyard, the child looked around.

Gu Chenghuai was hanging the curtains when he heard the familiar voice and responded.

Little White ran into the house following the sound.

Upon entering, seeing how tall her uncle was standing, the little girl craned her neck and called out again.

"Uncle."

"Why are you here?" Gu Chenghuai responded and asked, "Did you come alone, or with your brother?"

“I came with my dad and brother,” Xiaobai replied. “We bought some things and brought them over.”

Gu Chenghuai hung up the curtains, then jumped down from the table. "What did you buy?"

At this moment, Meng Jiusi came over carrying some things.

"I bought a mat and a blanket from a fellow villager; they're both things Zhaozhao likes."

Gu Chenghuai glanced at it; it was indeed something his wife would like.

"Thank you for your trouble, Fourth Brother." He had originally planned to make the trip tomorrow morning.

Meng Jiusi put down his things and asked, "Tell me what else is needed, and I'll prepare it. I'm on vacation now, so I have plenty of time."

"That's about enough, I'll take care of the rest." Gu Chenghuai's eyes flashed with gratitude as he declined.

This is his and Zhaozhao's home, and as the male head of the household, he has to do his best.

“Okay.” Meng Jiusi didn’t insist.

He then asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Gu Chenghuai said, "There really is. Fourth Brother, please help me hang the curtains. I'll go transplant the flowers and plants."

"Let's get some mosquito repellent," Meng Jiusi suggested.

"Yes," Gu Chenghuai replied, brushing the dust off his clothes and leaving. Jingmo looked at Meng Jiusi, "Dad, is there anything I can do to help?"

"You and Xiaobai sweep the yard," Meng Jiusi casually assigned her two sons a task. "After you're done, I'll make you braised pork when we get back."

Jingmo's face lit up with joy. "Dad, you bought meat?"

Xiao Bai smiled, pursing her lips.

"I bought it," Meng Jiusi said. "We rarely get a break, how can we not buy meat? I'll take you to the city tomorrow morning, do you want to come?"

The two boys were overjoyed, jumping around on the spot and waving their brooms around.

The group was making preparations here when Lin Zhao from the Harvest Brigade set off with the twins.

Just as they left the village, Hengbao looked back and sighed, "It'll be a long time before we see Qianbao and Yaobao. I wonder if our younger siblings will still recognize us when we come back?"

Yu Bao's little face was serious. "Qian Bao and Yao Bao are two years old now, not newborn babies."

A hint of guilt flashed in Lin Zhao's eyes. Well, two years old is still a baby.

"Let's go."

Although I'm reluctant to part with my two little ones, it was a decision I made a long time ago, and I can't easily change it.

The twins turned around, saw the oxcart parked ahead, and forgot about their younger siblings. They ran over and climbed onto the cart with ease.

"Hello, Grandpa Zhuang!" the two children greeted politely.

Old Zhuang gave each of them a crisp plum.

The twins didn't take it, but looked at Lin Zhao with questioning eyes.

Lin Zhao nodded.

The old man specially brought this for Yubao and Hengbao; it would be bad if they didn't accept it.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhuang," Yu Bao said.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhuang." Hengbao also thanked him and, without any hesitation, asked, "Grandpa Zhuang, is this a plum?"

“Yes, crisp plums.” Old Zhuangtou smiled kindly. “If you’re worried about them being sour, let them sit for a couple of days before eating them.”

As he spoke, Hengbao wiped the plum with his shirt and took a bite.

The little boy with the buzz cut was sore that his face was scrunched up, revealing a mask of pain.

"It's so sour, so sour, my teeth are about to fall out." He was so overwhelmed by the sourness that he stuck out his tongue and his eyes were brimming with tears.

Even so, he didn't spit out the plum in his mouth, but painfully and slowly ate it into his stomach, bite by bite.

"You silly boy, if you can't handle sour food, just spit it out..." Old Zhuangtou said with amusement.

"We can't waste food." Hengbao took small bites of the plum in his hand and finished it with difficulty.

His brother held the water bottle to his lips.

"Drink water and rinse your mouth."

Hengbao gulped down several mouthfuls before he could suppress the sour taste in his mouth, but his teeth still ached.

"Brother, my tooth..."

Yu Bao glared at him, "Serves you right, serves you right for getting impatient."

Despite her anger, she felt sorry for her younger brother, saying, "Drink more water, he'll feel better after a while."

Hengbao drank her water and said, "Brother is so fierce."

Yu Bao continued to stare wide-eyed.

The boy looked away and didn't dare to say anything more.

Old Zhuangtou couldn't help but laugh out loud and said to Lin Zhao, "Your two sons are really sensible."

Upon hearing the praise, Hengbao's mouth stretched almost to the back of his head, his chin held high, and his eyes glanced at Lin Zhao out of the corner of his eye, his face full of pleading for praise.

“She’s sensible,” Lin Zhao said.

The twins chuckled to themselves.

Mom said they're very sensible!

Old Zhuangtou smiled, gently cracked his whip, and the old ox strode forward.

Knowing that Lin Zhao was going to the train station, Old Zhuang took them there without saying a word.

As the mother and her two children disembarked from the oxcart, a slightly disgruntled male voice came from not far away, "Lin Zhao."

Lin Zhao froze on the spot, feeling inexplicably guilty, and dared not turn around.

"Uncle!!" the two boys called out to the person who had arrived.

Lin Shichang approached, ruffled the hair of his two nephews, and stared at Lin Zhao with angry eyes.

"You're leaving without even telling me? Don't you even consider me your brother?"

"With your parents gone, you can do whatever you want!"

Lin Zhao was in the wrong and didn't dare to raise her voice.

She explained, "Didn't you say you didn't have any leave? Why tell you? It'll only cause trouble. Besides, I can go by myself. It's not like it's my first time taking the train. You're being too nervous, brother..."

"Lin Zhao!" Lin Shichang's anger surged, and he took a deep breath in frustration.

Is he angry about this?

He was so angry.

Brother Lin's head was buzzing as he experienced his younger sister's rebellious behavior for the first time in a long time.

Lin Zhao met her elder brother's fiery eyes and shrank back.

"……I was wrong."

As soon as his sister admitted her mistake, Lin Shichang's anger was instantly extinguished.

He deliberately kept a straight face and handed the things he had brought to Lin Zhao.

"I've prepared some food for you to eat on the way."

After saying this, he picked up the luggage from the oxcart, thanked the old man, and called Yu Bao and Heng Bao to enter the station.

Lin Zhao stuffed a handful of candy into the old man's hand and followed him off.

front.

Yu Bao glanced back at Lin Zhao every now and then, and tugged at Lin Shichang's clothes with her little hand. "Uncle, don't be angry with my mom. Aunt just gave birth to a little brother. You have to go to work and take care of the little brother. My mom is worried that you will be too tired, so she doesn't want you to take us."

Lin Shichang's last bit of anger dissipated, and he felt a pang of sadness, realizing he had spoken too harshly to Zhao Zhao.

"I know, but... I still have time to send you off."

He slowed his pace to wait for his younger sister behind him.

"What angers me is that your mother took you away secretly. I need to know at least when you get on the bus and when you arrive, otherwise I... will be very worried."

Lin Zhao heard this.

"Big brother, I know I was wrong." She didn't try to argue, and honestly admitted her mistake.

Lin Shih-chang felt rather uncomfortable.

Zhao Zhao has always been tough, even when she's wrong. What she does most often is give them a dark back of her head and wait for them to coax her.

Suddenly admitting fault...

grown up.

but.

It made him feel uneasy.

"I was too loud just now," Lin Shichang said.

Lin Zhao: "???"

……

Lin Shichang helped his sister and nephew into the carriage, put their luggage away, and gave them a bunch of instructions. He didn't get off the train until the conductor asked them to leave.

He leaned against the car window and said worriedly, "Zhaozhao, send me a telegram when we arrive. Don't worry about Qianbao and Yaobao, I'll check on them every two days..."

Hengbao shouted, "Uncle, Dahuang and Xiaojin also want to see!"

“Look! Look, everyone!! Listen to your mother on the way, don’t run around, and be quick-witted if anything happens!” Lin Shichang added.

"Know it."

The train slowly started moving, growing smaller and smaller until it gradually disappeared from sight.

Lin Shichang left with a heavy heart.

On the train, Hengbao and his brother lay head to head, feeling the swaying of the bed, their smiles radiant.

"Mom, when will we arrive?"

Lin Zhao tidied up the food her older brother had given her. "Wait a minute, we'll be spending the next few days on the train. You two have to tell me everything. Don't act rashly. If anyone disobeys... I'll never take them out again."

The two brothers nodded earnestly.

"Uh-huh."

While the mother and her two children were on the rattling train, the Lu family arrived safely at the military region.

Lu Yizhou's vision went black, and a wave of despair washed over him.

Is this life even bearable?
He thought he was in the worst of luck, but little did he know that something even more infuriating was about to happen.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, the commander is looking for you."
