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

Chapter 386 "What does Deputy Regiment Commander Gu of the Military Region have to do with Ms. Lin Zhao's lover?"

"Qianbao is such a kind and understanding baby." Lin Zhao hugged her son, her beautiful face full of smiles.

Yu Bao was very curious about the research institute his younger brother had visited. "Qian Bao, what's there? Why are you so... obsessed?" He couldn't think of the word "obsessed" because he felt it perfectly described his brother's state.

Qianbao blinked his bright black eyes. "Interesting, I like it."

He didn't actually see much, but he got a feel for the atmosphere and liked it so much that he wanted to stay there forever.

“Interest is the best teacher. I support you in learning whatever you want to learn.” Lin Zhao rubbed her son’s soft face.

The four children surrounded her, laughing and chattering happily.

The twins were unusually talkative.

Sigh, when children grow up, it's inevitable that they won't have much to say to their parents. Fortunately, she has her own life.

After Gu Chenghuai returned home from get off work and the family had dinner, Lin Zhao brought up the matter of Qianbao wanting to go to Zhou Liguo's place.

Qianbao stared at his father with a nervous expression.

I finally said it...

Gu Chenghuai thought to himself.

When he took his son there last time, he noticed that Qianbao was extremely interested in everything there. His eyes shone like stars, with a kind of fervor he had never seen before. How could a father not notice that his son was curious about everything there?
Gu Chenghuai lifted Qianbao onto his lap. The child, sitting in the arms of his tall, muscular father, looked like a finely crafted porcelain doll, so adorable.

His small face was serious, and he had a composure that was beyond his years.

"I asked, and Comrade Zhou said you're too young and need to lay a solid foundation first. He meant you shouldn't try to reach the top in one step; you need to learn cultural knowledge first," Gu Chenghuai said gently.

Qianbao's expression clearly showed his disappointment.

A child with a broad mind from a young age would never be upset about things that could be solved. He quickly cheered up and said, "Hmm."

Yu Bao comforted his younger brother, "If you're in a hurry, you can skip a grade later, right?"

"What is skipping a grade?" Qianbao asked seriously.

"Skipping grades means you can finish elementary, middle, high school, or even university courses in the shortest amount of time, and do what you want to do as quickly as possible," Yu Bao explained.

Gu Zhiyu agrees that his younger brother is the smartest and most capable learner in the family.

"I'm going to skip a grade," Qianbao said lightly, making up her mind.

Lin Zhao didn't want her son to grow up so early, fearing it would be too hard on him. "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I hope you grow up happily."

"Mmm," Qianbao replied obediently.

Hengbao let out a loud laugh, "Mom, we're not stupid, we won't force ourselves."

Lin Zhao glanced at him; this kid was gradually going further and further down the path of being a contrarian.

That night.

Gu Chenghuai leaned against the headboard, thinking of Qianbao, and said smugly to Lin Zhao, who was doing her skincare routine, "Qianbao is smart, and her future achievements will definitely not be lower than mine."

Lin Zhao glanced at him, then looked away and continued applying makeup to her face. "Anyway, in your eyes, smart kids should all be handed over to the country to serve it."

"What's wrong with serving your country? It's an honor."

Lin Zhao put away the skincare products, got up and walked to the big bed, jumped over Gu Chenghuai and sat next to him, looking at the man seriously, "If the children want to, let them join the national team. If they don't want to, you are not allowed to force them to do things they don't want to do."

Gu Chenghuai stretched out his long arm and pulled his wife's fragrant and soft body into his arms. "When have I ever forced you and the children? They are my children, not my enemies. How could I go against them? You underestimate me. I'm going to punish you."

After saying that, he lowered his head to kiss her.

Lin Zhao was afraid of the man's stubble and quickly dodged away.

"You're so annoying."

Gu Chenghuai kissed his wife several times. "What's there to be annoyed about? I'm happy just seeing my wife."

“I’m serious, stop grinning like that.” Lin Zhao pinched his cheek. “You should let your soldiers see you like this, and see if they still trust you.”

Gu Chenghuai pretended not to hear and held his wife tightly.

His brow was furrowed with seriousness. "What I said is true. What you said, did I not listen to?"

Lin Zhao stroked his spiky hair. "I've heard everything. I love you."

Gu Chenghuai's muscles tensed instantly, and he lowered his voice, "Say it again."

"Did not say."

"Say it, just once," Gu Chenghuai drawled.

"You're a tough guy, don't talk like your son and daughter," Lin Zhao said, unable to bear it, but with a smirk on his face, showing his indulgence.

"I don't care, say it again, I want to hear it." Gu Chenghuai's dark eyes were filled with anticipation.

What business does Deputy Regiment Commander Gu of the Military Region have with Ms. Lin Zhao's husband?

"Why didn't you tell me?"

His earnest plea, made with such an irresistibly handsome face, made the usually straightforward Lin Zhao feel embarrassed.

"Zhaozhao, wife..." Gu Chenghuai continued to call out affectionately.

Lin Zhao, unable to bear this man's nagging any longer, straightened up, gently cupped his face, and said with warm eyes, "I love you, Gu Chenghuai." She then kissed the man's thin lips.

She saw Gu Chenghuai's ears turn red at a visible speed, as red as cinnabar on her heart.

"Gu Chenghuai, your ears..."

Before he could finish speaking, Deputy Regiment Commander Gu swallowed all his breath in excitement.

He was incredibly strong, as if some kind of mechanism had been activated; his muscular body was burning hot.

Gu Chenghuai possesses the unique restraint and modesty of people of this era. He can talk about love a thousand times but can't bring himself to say it. However, he does far more than those who constantly talk about love.

Lin Zhao could feel his boundless love at any time, and she didn't insist on whether she could hear those words or not.

Hearing those words with his own ears, Gu Chenghuai's heart felt like fireworks exploding, surging with a fervent and viscous love. He only wanted to bury himself in his lover's body and never be separated from him.

The rapid, panting breaths around her were captivating, and Lin Zhao's ears had turned red without her noticing.

He even had time to daydream during the brief moment he was turned over. It's a good thing this person had a vasectomy; otherwise, given the frequency of their close physical contact, they would have had four children by now.

Just think about it.

……

With the twins keeping a close watch on her, the young male protagonist no longer had any chance to get close to Yao Bao, which frustrated Jiang Rong.

He really liked that cute little girl, but he never had the chance to meet her.

Jiang Rong and Lu Baozhen continued to interact. In front of her Jiang brother, Lu Baozhen acted like a well-behaved girl with normal values, never stealing, never swearing, and never hiding in a corner to spy like a little devil...

In front of Jiang Rong, she was a pitiful little thing, neglected by her father and abused by her stepmother.

Jiang Rong is a heroic young man who can't bring himself to be cruel to the pitiful little girl. He indulges Lu Baozhen's approach, which causes his circle of friends to shrink. The little heroine who had everyone's support in the original book no longer exists, and he even becomes a bit annoying.

Hengbao held a grudge against Jiang Rong and secretly took Lu Baozhen to cause trouble for his sister. He told his good brothers in the military region to keep an eye on things and prevent Jiang Rong and Lu Baozhen from getting close to Yaobao.

Black Egg and the others readily agreed.

In the corner where Yao Bao hadn't grown up, her brothers had already built a fortress to keep all the blond-haired girls away.

Lin Zhao only learned about these things later, and she looked at her sons with new respect once again.

The child has really grown up.

……

Time flies, and the children are on winter vacation. Gu Chenghuai can't go home this year, so after discussing it with the children, Lin Zhao decided to spend the Spring Festival at the military region.

Making this decision was simple, but upon further reflection, the longing that had been weighing on my heart kept surging forth.

"Dad, can Grandpa and Grandma come to the military region for the Chinese New Year?" Yu Bao asked.

Gu Chenghuai refused outright, "No, it's too much trouble. Your grandparents don't like going out."

He knew his parents; they were the kind of people who didn't like going out and felt that there was no place like home.

Yu Bao lowered his head and secretly gave his younger brother a look.

Hengbao nodded quietly and continued, "Can Libao come to our house for winter vacation? We've been apart for so long, I miss Libao. Mom, please, let Libao come. We haven't seen him for almost a year. We spend every year of the Lunar New Year together. Mom, please say yes..."

Knowing that begging his father was useless, Hengbao bypassed Gu Chenghuai, squatted down beside Lin Zhao, raised his fist to massage her legs, and earnestly pleaded.

After a moment's thought, Lin Zhao decided to grant her son's wish.

Her gaze swept over the four children. "Since you came to the military region, you have all behaved wonderfully, saving your father and me a lot of trouble. I am very pleased, so I plan to grant your request and have Li Bao come to the military region for the New Year..."

A huge surprise fell on the four children, leaving them all stunned.

They froze for a moment, then jumped up from the spot.

"Ahhh, Mommy, the best Mommy ever, I'm so happy!" Hengbao hugged Lin Zhao's neck, her emotions overflowing, and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.

He then hugged his brother.

"Brother, Li Bao is coming! I'm going to sleep in the same bed with him. I miss Li Bao so much. I even dreamed about him last night."

Lin Zhao's lips twitched; this was due to poor sleep quality. He needed to ask his uncle for some medicine or acupuncture; it would surely cure him.

As she drifted off into thought, a finger with calloused skin brushed against her cheek.

"what?"

Gu Chenghuai's deep voice, tinged with amusement, rang out, "There's drool on your face."

Lin Zhao rubbed it with the back of her hand.

"Why is Li Bao coming to the military region?" she asked her husband for his opinion.

Gu Chenghuai's eyes held a calm and composed air, "I'll think of a way."

If I remember correctly, a few colleagues from my hometown are going back to visit their families, and asking them for a favor shouldn't be a problem.

Lin Zhao smiled broadly, "I knew I could have made the right choice by coming to you."

Marrying a super capable and reliable man really saves you a lot of trouble.

Gu Chenghuai's lips curled slightly.

That afternoon, Lin Zhao brought her four children to the communications room to make a phone call.

Since the Fengshou Brigade hadn't answered the phone yet and it was inconvenient to contact the people at the old house, Lin Zhao contacted Gu Chan at the cotton mill directly.

Gu Chan was both happy and a little nervous when she received the call from her younger brother and sister-in-law.

I'm afraid something might happen.

"Hello? Zhao Zhao?"

Lin Zhao's voice, tinged with laughter, rang out, "It's me, eldest sister."

Upon hearing her voice, Gu Chan immediately asked, "Why are you calling? Is something wrong?"

"No, we just wanted to let you know that we'll be spending the Spring Festival in the military this year." Lin Zhaoyu said with regret.

The village is lively during the Spring Festival, and she quite likes spending the Spring Festival in the village.

Seeing the smiling faces of adults and children makes one feel happy.

Gu Chan froze, her smile fading slightly, replaced by a hint of disappointment. "Not coming back for the New Year..."

"There's nothing we can do about it; Gu Chenghuai can't leave," Lin Zhao said.

It was inconvenient for her to bring Qiao Hui home.

“They can’t come back. Cheng Huai isn’t coming back with them, and it’s not safe on the road. You two should stay in the military region. If I remember correctly, you and Yu Bao haven’t spent the New Year in the army yet. You can experience it for yourself. I heard Cheng Huai mention that there’s some kind of performance. You can go and see it. It should be quite interesting.” Gu Chan comforted Lin Zhao.

“Yes, I’ll write to you when I come across something interesting,” Lin Zhao said.

"Big sister, I'm calling today because I need to trouble you with something."

Gu Chan immediately asked, "What is it? Tell me."

"When Yu Bao and Heng Bao heard that they wouldn't be going home for the New Year, they started making a fuss about having Li Bao come to the military region for the winter vacation. They've been here for so long and they miss home. Gu Chenghuai and I discussed it and decided to accommodate them. We'd like you to go to the brigade and ask your older brother, sister-in-law, and Li Bao for their opinions. If they agree, Gu Chenghuai will arrange for someone to pick up Li Bao."

While Lin Zhao was speaking, Yu Bao and Heng Bao picked up their younger siblings and strained their ears to listen.

The twins have grown up, and their bodies are all solid. The two older brothers are so heavy that their faces turn red and their necks thick.

"!!!"

A solid toy really weighs a lot.

Lin Zhao tried to hold back her laughter.

Hearing Gu Chan on the other end of the phone say, "Okay, I'll ask her in a bit,"...

"Li Bao would definitely be happy."

Thinking of the funny things her nephew had done, Gu Chan couldn't help but laugh. "Li Bao talks about Yu Bao and Heng Bao all the time. I heard from my sister-in-law that he even shed tears at night. When asked why, he said he missed Yu Bao and Heng Bao..."

She sighed, feeling a pang of heartache. "They grew up together, and it's really hard to get used to being separated all of a sudden. I've noticed that Li Bao smiles less, doesn't go out to play, and just stays at home doing his homework or going out to collect firewood and do chores. He seems so sullen, it really breaks my heart."

Lin Zhao favored Li Bao, and hearing her sister-in-law say this made her feel somewhat depressed.

Yu Bao couldn't hold back any longer. He put down his younger brother, tugged at his mother's clothes, and urged, "Mom, I want to talk."

Lin Zhao said into the microphone, "Big sister, Yu Bao wants to talk to you."

She handed the microphone to Yu Bao.

"Auntie, this is Yu Bao. Can you hear my voice?" Yu Bao took the microphone, her every move exuding confidence and composure.

Gu Chan's smile widened. "Yes, I can hear you. Yu Bao is here too. How are you all? Are you settling in well at the military region? Do you need anything? If you need anything, just tell your aunt and I'll send it to you."

“I don’t need anything, I don’t need anything at all, Auntie, is that alright?” Yu Bao said.

Gu Chan couldn't suppress the smile on her lips; it only grew wider. "Okay, Auntie's doing well, and your grandparents are doing well too. They're just worried about you. I heard from your mother that you won't be coming home for the New Year this year. You need to take good care of yourselves in the military region. Your mother works hard taking care of you, so please be understanding and help her with the housework, okay?"

"Yes, I know. Hengbao and I do housework every day, and we also take care of our younger siblings," Yubao answered her aunt's question.

Yu Bao is a mama's boy. Even though Lin Zhao is bedridden all day, he still feels that his mother is working hard. When some gossipy people in the military region jokingly call his mother a lazy woman, he always argues his point and finds their sore spots to fight back. And that's not all; he'll also complain to his father and get his father to stand up for his mother.

Hengbao's mama's boy tendencies are reflected in his actions. Those who gossip about Lin Zhao will all suffer various misfortunes within a few days, such as falling into the latrine or having a dozen caterpillars appear on their clean clothes... The ways they suffer misfortune are varied.

In the military compound, everyone knows that Deputy Regiment Commander Gu's wife is not to be trifled with; you can't even stand a few words of gossip about her, as she's fiercely protective of her husband and children.

After several such incidents, no one dared to provoke Lin Zhao anymore, and Song Zhi always expressed her envy when she mentioned it.

There are also some gossipy people in the family quarters, which is quite annoying.

On another note, upon hearing her nephew's reply, Gu Chan praised, "You are the best of us. With you taking care of you, your mother is at ease."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Yu Bao continued, "Aunt, tell Li Bao that we're waiting for him at the military region..."
