Chapter 331 "Little Bitter Gourd"

The two brothers were very conflicted.

Yu Bao, on the other hand, recalled Gu Chenghuai's battle with his comrades. His father was so invincible that so many soldiers in the army couldn't beat him, so... his father was the best!

"Dad can beat everyone."

Hearing his brother's words, Hengbao's mind was also illuminated by familiar memories. His eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, "Yes! Daddy is invincible!!"

Lin Zhao remained silent for a moment.

Is it possible that your father's fighting style is very diverse? He might have been taught by the military, benefited from guidance from experts when he was young, or at the very least, he has been on so many missions that he has already developed his own offensive and defensive style, which is incomparable to ordinary Heyha boxing.

Uncle De had a guess in his heart. He bent down slightly, looked down at the twins, and said with certainty, "Learn from me, you won't regret it!"

Hengbao laughed and pointed at him, saying, "Grandpa De, the way you talk makes you sound like a villain in a storybook who fools children."

"Gu Zhiheng," Lin Zhao called him by his full name, "Great-grandfather is an elder, so you should speak to him politely."

Uncle De wasn't angry at all. On the contrary, he liked Hengbao's cleverness even more. His old face was full of kind smiles. "It's alright, it's alright. Hengbao is smart and lively, just like the Lin family."

Lin Zhao: "..." Don't spoil her too much.

Hengbao took Uncle De's hand and put on the most obedient look. "Grandpa De, I didn't say you were a bad person. You are so kind, you must be a good person. I like you."

Uncle De was immediately flattered and couldn't stop smiling.

On the side, Erdan tried his best to keep punching, one punch after another.

Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and his calves were trembling. He was clearly nearing his limit, but he was still trying his best to keep up with his brother and refused to fall behind.

Grandpa De is right. They are men who must uphold the Lin family's honor and support their younger siblings. They must have perseverance. What kind of man would give up so easily?

Yu Bao noticed the sweat on the heads of Da Dan and Er Dan, took out a clean handkerchief, walked over, and stood on tiptoe to wipe their sweat.

"Big Egg Brother, Second Egg Brother, are you very tired? Can't you rest for a while?"

"No need to wipe it, we'll wash it later, so you don't get your handkerchief dirty." Da Dan turned his head to avoid Yu Bao's hand, took a deep breath, and tried to keep his voice steady, "We can't give up halfway! Persistence pays off. It's okay, we're used to it."

Erdan chimed in, "Yeah, we're used to it."

Thinking of something, his face turned slightly bitter, "In the first two days, the pain was so bad I felt like I wanted to die..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Shichang slapped him on the back of the head.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're so young, what do you mean by life and death? I think you've eaten too much."

Erdan was swayed by the slap, barely managing to regain his balance, his resentful gaze drifting towards Lin Shichang.

"Dad! This is in front of my younger siblings! Give me some face!"

Lin Shih-chang lightly kicked his son's buttocks, "Stand up straight, if you're going to practice, then practice properly."

Erdan felt his pride wounded and shouted loudly into the house, "Mom, do something about your husband! He's causing trouble!"

Despite filing a complaint, his martial arts movements remained perfectly in order.

Chen Yu, who was used to her son's wailing, said: "No pain, no gain. Just bear with it."

Linde nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, they are all promising talents.

"Okay, that's all for today."

Upon hearing this sound, Da Dan and Er Dan lost their grip and their bodies sank uncontrollably. Yu Bao and Heng Bao reacted quickly and rushed forward to support them.

The two eggs were several years older and much taller than them, and could crush them under their weight.

Hengbao grinned, "Brother Erdan, you're really heavy. If you can't keep up, just reduce the time. Haven't you heard of slow and steady wins the race?"

Yu Bao struggled to support Big Egg's body and muttered softly, "Yeah, you can't get fat in one meal."

Da Dan and Er Dan acted like older brothers, not actually leaning on their younger brothers, but just casually resting on their two cousins.

"You'll be tired and your body will ache right after you finish, but it won't hurt after you take a bath!" Da Dan patted Yu Bao's head. The boy's eyes were bright, and he had a bright smile on his face.

Erdan added, "Grandpa De made us herbal sachets, which we put in the bath tub to relieve fatigue and even boost our strength!"

Upon catching the keyword, Hengbao's eyes lit up, "Taking a bath can make you stronger, really?"

"It's true, my brother and I have definitely become stronger!" Erdan said seriously.

“That’s right.” Big Egg nodded in agreement, his dark, bright eyes filled with anticipation. “If we keep at it, we’ll definitely get stronger and stronger.”

Yu Bao remained relatively calm and asked, "Are you as strong as my mother now?"

The two eggs fell silent.

Erdan frankly said, "Of course not."

Uncle De found the children's conversation quite interesting and listened quietly without interrupting until he heard them mention Lin Zhao's strength.

"Is Zhao Zhao very strong?" he asked curiously.

Lin Heling chuckled lightly, his eyes showing no trace of vicissitudes, just pure black and white, radiating youthfulness.

He said, "Zhao Zhao takes after her mother. Xi Wei was very strong, so Zhao Zhao was strong from a young age. She could kick the bed sheet to pieces when she was only three months old."

Lin Shichang pursed his lips and gave another example, "When Zhaozhao was four years old, she accidentally kicked my arm and broke it."

Lin Zhao still vaguely remembered this incident, and she secretly picked at her toes.

Quickly change the subject:

"Big Egg, Second Egg, why don't you two go take a shower? You're all covered in sweat and it's giving me a headache."

"Yu Bao, Heng Bao, didn't you two want to see Sandan and Si Dan? Why aren't you going?"

The three girls noticed that their aunt was a little embarrassed, so they walked into the house hand in hand. Lin Zhao stopped them and stuffed a bag of snacks into their hands before they stopped.

After getting rid of the bunch of little ones, Lin Zhao felt refreshed and invigorated.

Now, even if some dirty secrets are dug up, I won't have to worry about losing face in front of the younger generation!
Lin Shichang chuckled, pinched his sister's nose, and said indulgently, "Still so concerned about saving face. I'd say Xibao looks exactly like you, her aunt."

“What’s wrong with my niece looking like her aunt?” Lin Jia Zhao Zhao’s mouth seemed to be laced with poison as she said, “She looks more like you than me, big brother. If she really looked like you, Xi Bao would be crying.”

Lin Shichang: "..." I'm impressed.

"I just said it casually, and you've already held a grudge?"

Seeing her sister turn her head away from her, she laughed and said, "You really hold a grudge? Then I'll eat your snake soup for you."

Lin Zhao's ears perked up immediately. What? What did she hear? Snake soup?!
"Where did this snake come from?" she couldn't help but ask.

Lin Shichang stopped teasing his sister and said with a smile, "Mother got it."

"Mother went up the mountain? She just came back and she's already up the mountain?!" Lin Zhao looked at Song Xiwei.

“We didn’t go deep into the mountains. Your grandfather wanted to find some common medicinal herbs, so your father and I took him for a stroll at the foot of the mountain. Who knew we’d run into a snake that didn’t know what it was? Your father said you’ve been thinking about the snake soup you ate when you were little, so he picked it up and took it home.”

The image of He Ling, such a refined and gentle person, carrying a thick snake in his hand was so jarring that Song Xiwei didn't want to think about it a second time.

Lin Zhao, with tears welling up in her eyes, pretended to cry: "I'm not wrong at all, a child with parents is a treasure."

He clung exaggeratedly to his mother, saying, "I want to be Mom and Dad's treasure forever."

She was strong, and her lunge was quite powerful. Fortunately, her equally strong mother caught her. Song Xiwei held her daughter's body steadily, with a smile in her eyes.

"Good, good, you are your parents' treasure." She was a strict mother, but it wasn't that she didn't want to be close to her children. She was happy that her daughter showed affection and fondness for her.

"Dad, will you make it later?" Lin Zhao asked, her eyes shining. "Would you, a picky eater, eat what I make?" Song Xiwei teased.

Lin Zhao said with a serious expression, "Eat! Why wouldn't I eat? Mother rarely cooks, how can I not give her face?"

Lin Shichang: "..." Just blow on it.

At this moment, Lin Heling spoke up, "It's not my turn to do it, your Grandpa De said he would do it."

He smiled at his children, "Your Grandpa De has a wide range of interests and is quite skilled in cooking. His cooking is better than mine. You'll know once you've tasted it."

Lin Shichang looked on with admiration.

thumbs up.

Looking at her younger sister, she said, "Zhao Zhao, haven't you noticed that Mom and Dad look much better?"

"I can see that now, I was just about to ask. I thought it was because you got plenty of rest, isn't it?"

“Of course not entirely!” Lin Shichang turned his gaze to Uncle De.

Lin Zhao gave a puzzled "hmm" and urged impatiently, "Stop keeping me in suspense, tell me quickly."

"Grandpa De knows how to cook medicinal cuisine. Do you know what medicinal cuisine is? It can regulate the body and make our parents better and better. Grandpa De cooks it for our parents every day." Lin Shichang felt that the medicinal cuisine was very useful, and his parents' complexions had become much rosier.

Grandpa De drank it himself, and in just a few days, he felt much more energetic.

Such a powerful family! They can make such a great recipe just by randomly pulling it out.

Meeting Lin Zhao's bright eyes, Uncle De said, "I want to eat too. Stew some more while you're at it. No need to be polite."

Lin Zhao lowered her voice, "Okay, I won't say anymore. You're too capable."

Uncle De smiled faintly, "They all know a little bit. The Lin family has produced many talented people. I once heard the old master say that the Lin family once had a medicinal cuisine chef who saved a person on the verge of death. That was truly amazing. No one after her can compare."

“However…” he changed the subject, “the Lin family has kept many secret recipes, because of this… there are many long-lived people in the Lin family.”

For example, he is a beneficiary of the Lin family's medicinal diet recipes.

"Are you interested? If you are, I can compile it for you."

Upon hearing that the Lin family's medicinal cuisine was so amazing, Lin Zhao couldn't help but be interested. She and Gu Chenghuai had a long-standing promise, and it would be wonderful if they could live a long life.

"Yes, I want to learn, Grandpa De!!"

Uncle De was delighted and immediately said, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"

Those who were raised by the old master naturally have a soft spot for the Lin family's daughters.

They'd give you anything you wanted.

"Grandpa De is so kind, I will definitely study hard," Lin Zhao promised.

Uncle De said gently, "No rush, learn slowly."

Lin Shichang: "???" Grandpa De didn't say that to the two eggs; he seemed... quite stern.

"How come my father doesn't know about the Lin family's medicinal diet recipes?" Lin Zhao asked curiously.

“Young Master, you don’t need to worry about these things,” Uncle De said.

Seeing that it was the young lady who asked, he said a few more words, "The young master needs someone to deliver it to him. To learn this, one needs to understand some pharmacology, it's not that simple."

If the world hadn't turned out this way, he wouldn't have bothered teaching the young lady.

Lin Zhao was taken aback by Grandpa De's sudden address and looked at his father with a mixture of confusion and awe.

I guessed the Lin family was good, but I never imagined they would be this good.

What kind of family would have a "young master" title? They must be the very elite!

I'm sorry, she's too naive to imagine.

"No wonder Dad always looks so indifferent to everything..."

So that's it, they've seen it all.

Lin Heling patted the top of her daughter's head, her large hand radiating warmth that warmed Lin Zhao's heart.

He said, "You've always wanted to lie down, and you have the means to do so. If you find the job too hard, then don't do it."

What he has now is enough to ensure his children's livelihood for the rest of their lives!
Lin Zhao's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again when she thought about the state of the world. She suppressed her bitterness and pretended to be excited, "No, I want to do it. I am the successor. I love to fight."

certainly not.

If it weren't for having nothing to do and killing time, who would want to go to work?

"Pfft..." Lin Shichang tried to hold back, but couldn't help bursting out laughing.

Lin Zhao immediately glared at him.

Lin Shichang calmed down slightly, cleared his throat to cover his embarrassment, and said, "You don't need to force yourself like that. You're at home, so you don't need to say things that aren't what you really mean."

Lin Zhao smiled politely, "If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way, understand?"

To brainwash someone, you first have to deceive yourself.

Lin Shih-chang pressed his fist to his lips, “...I understand.”

Lin Zhao ignored her older brother, who had been undermining her all day, and told her family about the trouble the Yuan family had gone through.

Song Xiwei simply said, "I understand."

In her view, the absence of that noisy family would be both beneficial and detrimental to her two grandsons, and their future depended entirely on how well the Lin family fared.

Now it seems there's no need to worry.

Lin Heling felt sorry for her grandson. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll call Jiu Si in the county tomorrow. If Mo Mo and Bai Bai are still in a bad mood, I'll bring them back. They'll be able to play with Da Dan and the others here, and their worries will dissipate quickly."

Uncle De offered, "If you need someone picked up, I'll go."

Before Lin Heling could refuse, he said, "I may look old, but I'm still in good health. Taking care of two children... is no problem for me."

He is naturally active, and keeping him in one place for too long would be torture for him.

Uncle De recalled the days a few years ago when he traveled around with the old master and the head of the family; it was truly carefree.

"We'll see," Lin Heling said. "Those two clingy kids from Jiu Si's family might not be willing to come. We should respect the child's wishes."

Uncle De had been at the Lin family's house for a week, so of course he knew about how the Lin family had been abducted as children. When he first found out, he was both heartbroken and furious, and almost fainted.

Later, she learned that Meng Jiusi had been sent to the Fengshou Brigade and suffered, and had also been "forced" to divorce. Now she was raising her two sons alone. Her heart ached so much that her lips twitched, and she pinched her philtrum to avoid fainting from anger.

How could the Lin family members possibly live such bitter lives?!

Thus, Meng Jiusi became Uncle De's little bitter gourd, and he loved him dearly.

Upon learning that Meng Jiusi was studying medicine, she sent him the rare medical book she had.

……

In the room.

Yu Bao and Heng Bao witnessed the immense strength of Da Dan and Er Dan. The two children stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape, unable to process what they had just witnessed.

"Brother, I want to learn." Hengbao rolled his eyes, becoming the first to "betray" him.
