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

Chapter 284 "Why does my wife always smell so good?"

Meng Jiusi had heard that Qianbao had almost gotten into trouble before, so it's no wonder that Zhaozhao was furious when she saw the culprit.

"I'll let it go this time, but I won't write to my parents. If it happens again..." he threatened with a smirk.

treacherous!

Lin Zhao stared at him incredulously, exclaiming, "Brother, you're almost thirty! Why are you still tattling?!"

"Didn't you say that no matter how old you are, you're still your parents' child?" Meng Jiusi retorted softly.

He glanced at Lin Zhao dismissively. "What I said, do you have a problem with it?"

Lin Zhao quickly shook her head, "No, no, no!"

"My brother is the apple of my parents' eye, so his words carry a lot of weight. I wouldn't dare to have any objections."

Meng Jiusi reached out and gently flicked her forehead, "Even more mischievous than Yu Bao and Heng Bao."

Seeing this, Yu Bao quickly said protectively, "Uncle, don't hit my mom's head! My mom just felt dizzy!"

"Yeah, yeah, my mom was so dizzy she couldn't walk, so my dad had to carry her into the car," Hengbao said casually.

Sun Yeli couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Pfft..."

Lin Zhao: "..."

"Gu Zhiheng, you talk too much!" she said angrily.

She'll teach that foul-mouthed brat a lesson sooner or later.

Hengbao looked completely innocent. "What did I do? I didn't say anything wrong. Why is Mommy angry?"

Gu Chenghuai patted his son's head, "Go away, you talk too much. Go clean your own room, don't expect me to help you."

Hengbao made a face, "Cat Egg and the others will help us, my brother and I don't need your help."

He pulled Yu Bao and the others toward his room, muttering to himself, "What a domineering adult!"

Gu Chenghuai didn't indulge him and followed up, "What a chatterbox."

Hengbao turned to look at his father, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Dad!" he accused, "You're a grown man, how can you bully a child like this?"

"Didn't you say you were a big friend?" Gu Chenghuai looked at him leisurely.

“In front of my parents, I am just a little kid. Dad can’t bully us!” Hengbao argued.

Gu Chenghuai didn't say anything more.

Hengbao, as if she had won, quickened her pace.

Sun Yeli found it really interesting, saying, "Your two kids are so clever."

His words made no attempt to hide his envy.

"Envious?" Gu Chenghuai turned his head to look at him. "If you're envious, go on blind dates, join those matchmaking events, get married sooner, and you'll have someone..."

Sun Yeli covered his ears.

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

"You go ahead with your work, I'll be going now." He gave a thumbs-up and gestured towards the door.

"Thank you for your help today. I'll treat you to dinner another day." Gu Chenghuai patted his shoulder.

"I'll wait," Sun Yeli replied, then bid farewell to Lin Zhao and Meng Jiusi before leaving.

Knowing that the gossipy guys were waiting for his news, he deliberately walked very slowly, at a pace completely unlike that of a soldier, lest he trample the ants on the road.

As Sun Yeli was walking, two figures darted out from behind a thick tree, moving with incredible speed, and grabbed his arms from both sides.

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you! You know we're waiting, so you're deliberately walking so slowly!" one of them said.

The other one, an impatient fellow, asked, "Did you see the battalion commander's family and his twins? What do you think?!"

Sun Yeli slapped his two comrades' arms, which were as hard as iron rods, and coughed, "Let go! Let go! Are you two idiots trying to strangle me?!"

The two young men quickly let go.

"Speak quickly, or we'll blackmail you again!" the impatient man said.

"Old Gu's family...you'll know when you meet them." Sun Yeli kept them in suspense for a moment, and before his two comrades could get impatient, he added, "The twins are pretty much as Old Gu described, clever and filial, very likable."

"When can we see the two treasures? Has the battalion commander said anything?" The two young men were extremely curious about Gu Chenghuai's family and children and couldn't wait to ask.

“Wait a minute, they’ve been on the train for several days, they need to rest,” Sun Yeli said.

"……All right."

……

Gu Chenghuai placed the freshly prepared brown sugar water on the table and asked Meng Jiusi, who was packing the first-aid kit, "Is Zhaozhao's injury alright?"

"It's alright," Meng Jiusi said. "She's been applying the medicine quite frequently, there's no inflammation, and it's healing very well. After a few more days of rest, she'll be able to move around freely. Keep an eye on her these next few days!"

Gu Chenghuai nodded. "I will."

Lin Zhao: "..."

She's not a child.

Gu Chenghuai turned to look at his wife, a faint smile playing on his lips. "You've lost a lot of blood, drink some brown sugar water to replenish it."

"Let it cool down before you drink it," Lin Zhao said casually.

She sized up Gu Chenghuai, who subconsciously straightened his shoulders. Why was Zhaozhao looking at him? Did she think he'd gotten even more handsome?!
“You’ve gotten darker,” Lin Zhao said.

Gu Chenghuai: "..."

Tell the truth.

And fourth brother-in-law, can you not make your jokes less obvious?

"Training under the sun every day, it's impossible not to get tanned."

Lin Zhao's bright eyes swept over the man, and she said with a smile, "Still so handsome!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenghuai was slightly taken aback, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"Gu Chenghuai, I want to take a shower," Lin Zhao said, stating her request.

"I'll go boil some water." Gu Chenghuai walked towards the kitchen without saying a word, forgetting even to remind his wife to be careful of her injury.

Meng Jiusi stared at the back of his brother-in-law's head, speechless.

He could only tell Lin Zhao himself, "You can take a bath, but don't get your arms wet."

Lin Zhao glanced at her well-bandaged arm and nodded. "I know. Can I walk now?"

“…Go ahead.” Meng Jiusi waved his hand, picked up the medicine box and went back to the main house, putting it in the cabinet.

He introduced the room to Lin Zhao, saying, "This is your and Cheng Huai's room. The first-aid kit is under the cabinet. You still need to apply medicine to your wound, so remember to do so."

"Okay," Lin Zhao replied.

She looked around the room. A large, light wood-colored double bed was covered with a peony-patterned sheet, two pillows placed side-by-side. The large double wardrobe was new, but had no smell. A dressing table with drawers had a large mirror on top. Pulling out the drawers revealed several boxes of face cream and pretty hair ties and clips. The curtains had a dopamine-inspired feel, made of patchwork fabrics in different colors, creating an irregularly attractive pattern…

You can move in right away with just your suitcase.

"Everything is ready!" Lin Zhao said with delight.

She hadn't expected Gu Chenghuai to go to such lengths. She had only heard men mention it, but she thought that he had prepared things like bedside tables and cabinets, while she would have to make things like curtains, tables, and even thermos flasks herself. Her man was just too considerate.

"When I heard you were coming, I was so excited. Every day, besides training, I was busy buying things," Meng Jiusi said slowly.

"Silly, what's the rush? You didn't even wait for me to clean up." Lin Zhao felt sweeter than if she were drinking brown sugar water, but she said it aloud.

Meng Jiusi's gaze fell on her smiling face, lingered for a few seconds, and then he shook his head.

Lin Zhaobao is hypocritical.

Lin Zhao was unaware of the thoughts swirling in his brother's mind; otherwise, he would have definitely exploded.

"Take a good rest. This afternoon, Cheng Huai will take you to my place, and I'll treat you to a welcome dinner."

Lin Zhao readily agreed, "Is there meat?" "Yes. We have everything you like."

Lin Zhao smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Then I'll go."

Meng Jiusi smiled and then left. Knowing that her two sons were excited, she didn't call them and let them stay.

After touring her own room, Lin Zhao, fearing she might feel the urge to lie down, went out and into the children's room.

Yu Bao and Heng Bao lay sideways on the bed, head to head and foot to foot, swinging their little feet, more relaxed and lively than at home.

"Gu Yubao, Gu Hengbao, did you take a bath and change your clothes? You two are lying on the bed, you're filthy! You two dirty kids!" Lin Zhao said, exasperated.

The two children quickly sat up, slid off the bed, and smoothed out the sheets with their little hands. After doing all that, they placed their hands in front of them, being as well-behaved as could be.

They're just burying their heads in the sand.

"Mom, our room is exactly the same as the one at home! I don't have to worry about having insomnia at night anymore," Yu Bao said seriously, blinking his dark eyes.

Lin Zhao knew perfectly well that her son was trying to change the subject, but she didn't argue with him and took the opportunity to say, "Okay, then you two can sleep by yourselves tonight."

On the train, the two of them claimed to be scared, but they took turns occupying her bed, causing her to have backaches and sleep poorly every night.

If Yu Bao and Heng Bao knew what she thought, they would probably cry because they felt wronged. Their backaches and pains were not their fault; they themselves were not sleeping comfortably either.

Yu Bao wanted to sleep with her mother, but... seeing Mao Dan'er and the others around, she reluctantly suppressed the thought and said loudly, "...Okay! Heng Bao and I have always slept by ourselves!"

Hengbao had originally wanted to act cute, but after hearing that her brother had betrayed her, she glanced at him and said sullenly, "Fine."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her son's frustrated expression.

"Zhaozhao, the hot water is ready, you can take a bath now." Gu Chenghuai's voice rang out from outside.

"Coming," Lin Zhao replied, then warned the two boys, "You're not allowed on the bed without having showered or changed your clothes."

Then he looked at Maodan'er and the others, "Maodan'er, Momo, you two keep an eye on Yubao and Hengbao for me."

The two adults stood tall and proud, saying, "We will."

Xiao Bai hesitated for two seconds, then obediently raised her hand, "Little, Little Aunt, what about me?"

Lin Zhao's heart fluttered at the sight of the fair-skinned, chubby little boy.

"You, when you're a little older, your aunt will give you some tasks. For now, go eat some cookies." Her voice softened unconsciously.

"Yu Bao and Heng Bao, you two divide up the things we brought, and remember to wash your hands before you eat."

After arranging everything, she turned and left the house.

"What were you saying inside? Why did it take you so long to come out?" Gu Chenghuai asked casually, unfolding the light gray cotton-linen dress in his hand.

"How about this dress? Shall we wear it after the shower?" he asked his wife for her opinion.

He bought the dress and washed it, but he wasn't sure if his wife would like it, so of course he had to ask.

Lin Zhao reached out and touched it; the material was strangely soft, definitely comfortable to wear at home.

"Sure, it feels really nice to touch. Did you buy it for me?"

Seeing that Zhaozhao was pleased, Gu Chenghuai's anxiety subsided.

His usually cold and aloof dark eyes softened with a gentle smile.

"I was worried you wouldn't have any clean clothes, so I had someone make you a few."

The clothes he added to the wardrobe were all handmade by a skilled fellow villager according to Zhaozhao's measurements, and they were all in the style his wife liked.

Lin Zhao cupped his face in her hands, gently rubbing it a few times. Her eyes seemed to hold a handful of bright starlight, and her voice was light and cheerful, "Commander Gu, how can you be so kind~"

Gu Chenghuai let her do as she pleased, but then, remembering his wife's injured arm, he carefully pulled her arm down, saying, "Be careful not to reopen the wound."

Seeing that Zhao Zhao was dissatisfied with his response, he lowered his head and pecked her lips restrainedly, his voice hoarse, "Don't you feel uncomfortable all over? Go inside and wash up, be careful with your wound."

Lin Zhao licked her lips, her eyes shining with an astonishing light.

"Ow!"

She took the loungewear and towel and went into the bathroom.

Gu Chenghuai chuckled softly.

Life with a wife, son, and a warm bed is truly wonderful.

What to do? Zhao Zhao just arrived, and he can't bear to let her go.

"Dad..." Hengbao called his dad. He called him the first time, but no one answered. He called him the second and third time, but still no one answered.

"Dad!!" the child emphasized.

Gu Chenghuai snapped out of his daze and looked down at him.

Hengbao crossed her arms and tilted her head to look at him with dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chenghuai frowned.

"Dad, why didn't you answer me just now? I called you several times!" Hengbao shouted.

"Oh, I didn't hear you," his father said casually, then asked, "What did you want?"

"Where are our scissors? Mom asked me to cut the cookies, but I can't open the sack!" Hengbao said, looking troubled, remembering the important matter.

"I'll go take a look." Gu Chenghuai walked towards where the luggage was.

The luggage was laid flat on the table. The children must have been trying to figure out a way to deal with it. There were jagged little holes at the mouth of the burlap sack, which looked like they had been bitten by a kitten.

"You've already kissed her?" Gu Chenghuai asked Hengbao.

Hengbao blushed and stubbornly retorted, "How did you know it was me? Why isn't it my brother?"

Gu Chenghuai glanced at the second son but didn't say anything.

He simply used his hands and applied a little force, and the thin rope binding the sack's opening snapped.

He looked at the rope in his hand and raised an eyebrow.

Where did Zhao Zhao get that rope? It's not thick, but it's very strong and will be quite useful.

"Dad, there's one more!" Hengbao urged.

"What's the rush?" Gu Chenghuai pinched his son's cheek and slowly untied the second one. Yes, untied it, without pulling it violently.

Hengbao felt a sting on his face, grimaced, and moved away from his father, looking sullen.

Gu Chenghuai put away the rope, carried the luggage back to the house, and took out the items one by one. He put the food on the table for the time being, hung the clothes in the closet, and put Lin Zhao's face cream bottles and jars on the dressing table. When he saw the baby cream for the twins, he smiled helplessly.

Is this a family visit? It looks like they're accompanying a soldier.
"Keep your face creams safe."

Yu Bao took it and carefully put it into the drawer.

Hengbao's eyes lit up, and he brought his little face close to his dad's, asking, "Daddy, do you think I'm whiter?"

Gu Chenghuai really looked at it carefully for a few moments and said, "...It seems to have turned white."

On second thought, the two boys hadn't been running around for days and had been kept covered up in the car, so it was impossible for them not to be tanned.

Hengbao was overjoyed.

"We're supposed to be sharing cookies, what are you all standing there for?" Gu Chenghuai said. "Hurry up, wait until your mother is done washing, then I'll take you two to wash. You haven't washed for days, you all stink."

The smile shifted from Hengbao's face.

As if he had caught something red-handed, he said in a cute but fierce tone, "Fine, you said my mom smells bad, I'm going to tell my mom!"

After uttering the threat, he was about to rush out.

Gu Chenghuai stretched out his long arm, grabbed his collar, and pulled him back.

"You little rascal, you dare to frame someone when you're so young? Do you want to be taught a lesson?" He threatened his son with a stern face.

Hengbao wasn't scared at all, and even said, "You said we smell bad! Mommy is just like us! You're saying that my brother and I smell bad, so you're just saying Mommy smells bad!"

Gu Chenghuai pinched his mouth shut.

"I'm talking about you two rascals. My wife always smells so good."
