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

Chapter 43 "You'll be unlucky"

"Mom~~" Erzai hugged Lin Zhao tightly, and the sudden movement almost made the things in her hand fall to the ground.

"Slow down, pick it up yourself if it falls on the ground." Lin Zhao scolded with a smile.

Hearing the smile in her words, Erzai knew that his mother was not angry. His nervousness dissipated, and he came forward to help his mother get it. "Mom, let me get it."

The little eyes looked at the familiar little bamboo basket, and their eyes curved into crescents.

Dazai wanted to take the rice bag from Lin Zhao's hand, but she refused. "This is heavy. Don't move. Be careful not to drop it on your feet."

"Then go slower, mom." The eldest boy showed worry on his face and held the bottom of the rice bag with his hand.

"Mom is fine. I'm an adult. I can still carry this little bit of rice." Lin Zhao held the rice bag in one hand and pinched the eldest boy's face with the other hand, which made his brows relax.

"There are so many things." Erzai rummaged through the things in the bamboo basket and exclaimed when he saw something strange.

One sound was louder than the other.

"Mom, what is this?" He held up a small yellow fruit in his right hand. It was not even as big as his hand, bright yellow and emitting a fragrance.

The fragrance is indescribable.

"Small tangerines, you can eat them just by peeling the skin." Lin Zhao said softly.

Erzai seemed to understand, but he didn't know what was going on. He used his hands to pick it without any hesitation. The golden juice splashed into his eyes. He subconsciously rubbed it with his hands, but was caught by Lin Zhao.

"Your hands are covered in orange juice. Don't touch your eyes with your hands. I'll wash them for you." She snatched the small tangerine from Erzai's hand, put it aside, and pulled him to wash his face.

Erzai's eyes were irritated and tears came to his eyes, but he said, "Just wash your eyes, don't wash my face, I just put on perfume."

If you apply it again, he will feel bad.

"It's okay. I'll buy you more after you use them up." Or maybe you'll win one in a lottery later.

The second child's face was full of pain.

"It costs money," he said. "I need to buy a bicycle. My grandfather said bicycles are really expensive, more than a hundred yuan."

"It's enough. Didn't I tell you that your father sent the money? That money is enough to buy a bicycle and a watch." Lin Zhao said to her two sons who were worried about their livelihood at such a young age.

"Aren't you hungry?" Erzai asked with a questioning look.

"……Won't."

He looked down at his new shoes and asked, "Will we still have new shoes to wear?"

"Yes, not only new shoes, but when you go to school, I will give each of you a small green schoolbag with a five-pointed star." Lin Zhao remembered that she had drawn two children's backpacks before, and made a promise.

"Is that the schoolbag that Bangbang brother carries?" Erzai had never experienced the hardship of going to school, so his tone rose.

Lin Zhao knew what a bangbang schoolbag looked like, made of scraps of cloth.

"No." Seeing that it was still early, she said, "Do you want to see it?"

The second boy nodded rapidly.

The eldest child also said, "I want to see it."

"Wait." Lin Zhao wiped his face dry and went back to the house to get her bag.

Soon, he held two small green backpacks with a red five-pointed star on the surface.

The second child trotted over, took it, and gestured to himself, smiling as brightly as a flower.

"Brother, look at me, am I good-looking?"

The eldest boy nodded politely, "It looks good."

Lin Zhao ignored the two super excited kids and fed Da Huang and Amber first. She then took out some freshly made Swiss rolls and three cartons of milk for breakfast.

"Stop playing with your schoolbags. You two are up so early. Come eat something with me."

Erzai walked over with his schoolbag on his back, chest out and head high, looking very proud.

"Mom, do I look good?"

Lin Zhao was impressed by his show-off behavior, and a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes. "It looks good."

Seeing the big cub's expression showing a little expectation, he continued to praise: "The big cub is also good-looking."

The two children sat down and swung their feet happily.

"Mom, can you please take the little schoolbag back? I want to carry it today." Erzai expressed his request openly.

Lin Zhao hoped that her eldest son would do the same and looked at him encouragingly.

The eldest cub tightened his grip on the bag and boldly asked, "Mom, I want to carry it today too. I want to put some candy and the tangerines you gave me."

"Of course." Lin Zhao said gently, "Since you all asked so much, it's not impossible to give it to you in advance. Then carry it on your back!"

"Mother is so nice~~"

"Thank you, mother."

Touching the little schoolbag, I feel happy all over.

Only then did I focus on the table.

"Mom, what is this?" The quick-talking Erzai pointed at the long, rolled object on the table and asked curiously.

Lin Zhao had never seen it before, but the packaging had the words, "Swiss roll and milk."

"I haven't heard of it." Erzai said frankly.

"This is the first time I've seen it too. Let's try it. It should taste good and smell sweet." Lin Zhao gave each of the two children a Swiss roll and a box of milk.

She took the first bite and found it very soft, melt-in-your-mouth, and rich and sweet.

"It's delicious, eat it quickly, you two will definitely like it!"

It’s fragrant and soft, and the two kids really like it. They even have crumbs all over their faces after eating it.

Why is there such delicious food?

The two children cried in their hearts.

Take another sip of milk, oh my, life is so beautiful.

Had breakfast.

When Lin Zhao was going to work, the eldest and second sons called Da Huang and took the initiative to send their mother to the village entrance.

When the villagers saw this scene, they smiled kindly.

"Big Cub, Little Cub, you two have to go to work with your mother."

"You've brought Da Huang and Amber with you. Your team... is quite lively."

Everyone joked about the Gu family's twins.

Erzai held Amber in his arms and walked forward a few steps with his back straight.

Lin Zhao was very familiar with this way of walking without recognizing any relatives, and she was trying to show off.

really.

Erzai leaned sideways, holding Amber in one hand and patting his small backpack with the other. He smiled at the person who was speaking, "Uncle, look at my schoolbags. My brother and I both have them. My mother bought them for us."

The villagers carrying hoes to go to work nodded and said, "It looks good, it really looks good."

He sighed, "A family with two working parents is strong. Your mother works at the supply and marketing cooperative, so it's convenient for her to buy things for you."

Seeing that Dahuang and Amber had lost their pitiful appearance of stray dogs and had become mellow, his voice was actually filled with envy.

"Even Da Huang and her cubs were affected."

Dahuang seemed to understand and barked.

Amber followed Wangwang.

The speaker's mood is more complicated.

The second child was very happy to be praised and stretched his feet forward again.

"Uncle, my mother also bought us sandals. They are the most fashionable in the county. What do you think?"

As he spoke, he looked up at the uncle who gave him enough emotional value, his eyes full of expectation.

"Looks good." The man he was showing off to had a good temper and was gentle to everyone.

Knowing what Erzai wanted to hear, he also cooperated, "Your mother spent all this month's salary on you two. She is really good to you."

When he heard what he wanted to hear, the second cub laughed so hard that his body expanded to the size of a hundred suns.

He took out a piece of hard candy he had saved and gave it to the person across from him, saying generously, "Uncle, please have some candy."

The eldest son subconsciously looked at his mother.

Lin Zhao had no objection. As she had said before, everything she gave to the children could be handled by themselves, whether they wanted to eat it themselves, save it, or share it with their friends. It was up to them.

The man from the village didn't expect to receive a candy from the child and stood there in a daze.

When I came to my senses, I found that Erzai, his mother and brother had already gone to the village entrance.

"Haha..." He laughed, hurried home and gave the candy to the child.

The little boy's eyes lit up. He couldn't bear to eat it. He held the candy tightly and said happily, "Dad, where did this candy come from?"

"Erzai gave it to dad." said the man.

"It's twins." The little boy said in a light voice.

The eldest and second cubs are Jiao Buli Meng and Meng Buli Jiao, and the children in the village call them twins.

"Ever since the twins' mother took care of them, they have endless candy. The twins even gave us a piece of candy the day before yesterday. We dissolved the candy into water and drank the water one sip at a time. It was so sweet! I actually got a whole piece of candy today. I'm so happy!"

One piece of candy is enough to make a child happy for several days.

The man said sadly, "Dad will earn work points and buy you a pound of candy from the supply and marketing cooperative." "Okay! Dad is the best!"

In the eyes of children, their father is extremely tall.

After Erzai showed off in a high-profile manner, the news that Lin Zhao bought them schoolbags and sandals spread throughout the brigade soon after.

Several mothers-in-law went to Gu's mother to gossip.

"Mother Cheng Huai, I heard that your third son's wife spent a lot of money on the eldest and second sons, including school bags and sandals. We country folk can just piece together a school bag with scraps of cloth, and handmade cloth shoes are so comfortable. Why buy them? It's a complete waste of money."

"Yes, Cheng Huai's mother, you are the mother-in-law, you have to take care of it. If you don't, your Cheng Huai's hard-earned allowance will be squandered sooner or later."

"Why would anyone buy sandals for a child? How can you spoil a naughty monkey like that?"

Mother Gu prepared milk powder for the twins, and coaxed her grandson and granddaughter to drink milk with a loving face. She planned to come back in two hours and make steamed egg custard for them.

Just then, several uninvited guests came to the house.

Before she could ask what was going on, these people started talking at once and criticizing the third son's wife.

Mother Gu used a rag to shake off the non-existent dust on her body. She was almost laughing with anger, but she didn't show it on her face.

"The three houses have been divided up. The third daughter-in-law is the housekeeper. She can spend Cheng Huai's allowance however she wants."

"Besides, the eldest son's wife is well educated and can earn her own money. If she is willing to buy things for the two sons, I have nothing to say."

"Although I haven't seen it yet, the school bags and shoes from the supply and marketing cooperative are indeed different from those made at home. I still say the same thing, as long as the third son's wife is happy."

In front of outsiders, Gu's mother always knows the difference between inside and outside, and always protects her own family.

Even though she was worried in her heart.

The person who came specifically to stir up trouble didn't enjoy the fun and looked unhappy.

"You keep saying so much, and we don't have any bad intentions." The little old lady in the lead also complained about Gu's mother.

After all, they had known each other for decades, so Gu's mother gave her a way out.

"Yes, yes, I know you have no bad intentions. My family has split up after all. It's not my place to intervene in the affairs of the third branch. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let her do as she pleases."

With Cheng Huai backing them up, the third branch will be fine in the future.

One of the old ladies was skillfully sewing the soles of her shoes while she said, "Cheng Huai's wife just left these four children to you? Without giving you any benefits?"

Mother Gu smiled and said, "Why didn't you give me some? The third daughter-in-law gave me some fabric and said she wanted to make me an autumn sweater. It was made of high-quality corduroy and it felt very comfortable."

I originally wanted to wait until the weather gets cooler so I can wear it and show it off.

Since they came after me and asked, it’s not a bad idea to tell them in advance.

The old lady who sewed shoe soles felt bitter. She had several daughters-in-law, but none of them had ever given her a needle.

"It's just an autumn shirt." She pretended not to care.

"We have four kids, and feeding them is such a worry. I heard that the salesperson job pays 24 yuan a month. Didn't she say she'd give you five or ten yuan?"

Five dollars, ten dollars?
Mother Gu took a breath.

Open your mouth and come.

Fortunately, your daughter-in-law doesn't have this job, otherwise she would be working herself to death and be like a slave to you.

"Why would I ask for money to take care of my grandchildren?" Mother Gu said, "Cheng Huai is working hard outside, I just want to take care of the rear for him and let him do his best in the army. I don't ask for anything else."

It’s such an honor for my daughter-in-law to become a salesperson. How can I let her down?

One of the little old ladies nodded and said, "You're right. I think your third daughter-in-law has gotten better and is paying more attention to the older kids. Things will get better and better."

When Mother Gu smiled, fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Oh, she loves to hear that.

The cheerful chattering of children could be heard outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, the eldest and second cubs trotted into the house.

"Grandma, look what I brought you!" The second child was still three or five meters away when his crisp voice reached Mother Gu's ears first.

"What?" asked Gu's mother with a smile.

When her grandson came closer, she saw the sandals on Erzai's feet and the new schoolbag on his body. They looked so nice and energetic. It was worth the money!
When Erzai saw that there were other people at home, he was stunned. He called everyone one by one, opened his bag, and took things out for his grandmother.

"Grandma, open your hands," he said.

Mother Gu opened her hands good-temperedly.

Erzai put a White Rabbit candy in her palm, then a small tangerine, and then two Swiss rolls.

"Grandma, it's all for you." He smiled.

Mother Gu knew that these were all prepared by Lin Zhao for the two brothers, and that her grandson was willing to give them to her, and the old lady was so moved that she burst into tears.

"Why give me milk? Just eat it yourself."

He hurried to put the things back for Erzai.

The second child dodged to the side and said, "My brother and I have discussed it. Grandma has taken care of us for the past few days, so this is our gift to you as a filial gift. You can keep it."

He looks like a little grown-up.

The eldest child also said, "We ate that round roll this morning. Those two pieces are for you. They are sweet, soft and fragrant. You will definitely like them."

The round roll refers to the Swiss roll.

In front of the mothers-in-law, he did not forget to speak well of his mother, "My mother knows it too."

The old lady who came to the Gu family could no longer find any fault with them.

That one is called Yuanyuanjuan. It doesn’t look cheap and you can smell its sweetness from far away.

Mother Gu accepted it and smiled, "Okay, grandma, take it. You and your grandfather will each have one later."

"Eat our eldest and second cubs' snacks and ask them to give you the best names."

The two little brothers laughed so hard that their eyes were curved.

The old lady next to him asked curiously, "What does that mean? Cheng Huai's father named his eldest and second sons?"

"More than that." Mother Gu said with a smile, "It's for the four kids. Tiedan and the others' names...they were also chosen by their grandfather."

"Is the Chenghuai family willing?"

Mother Gu was very proud and said, "Why wouldn't you be happy? It was the third daughter-in-law who took the initiative to say it."

This……

Cheng Huai's wife is like a completely different person.

The old ladies murmured.

Seeing the smile on Gu's mother's face, my heart felt sour.

Who knew that a lazy wife would become a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative? Cheng Huai's mother walks with a breeze now.

Not wanting to see her smug look, the little old lady who loved to compare herself with others changed the subject, "When are you planning to go to the Lu family's wedding?"

"Noon." said Gu's mother.

"Aren't you going to help in the morning? We have to pick up the bride."

Mother Gu had already thought of an excuse, "I have no choice. There are so many children at home. I have to look after them."

As he spoke, he wiped the milk stains around the twins' mouths.

The fourth child smiled sweetly and said in a baby voice, "Look, baby."

Mother Gu took off the bib from her neck and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm looking at you."

Time flies and it's noon.

Mother Gu went to the Lu family to help, but did not bring her four children with her.

As soon as he stepped into the Lu family's door.

A little girl with two pigtails and wearing a red jacket rushed over, looked behind Gu's mother, and found that the eldest and second sons were not there. Her face fell instantly.

"Where are the eldest and second brothers?" Lu Baozhen asked, looking up.

Mother Gu made up an excuse and said, "They are busy."

"Can I go find Big Brother Dazai and Second Brother Erzai?" Lu Baozhen tilted her head with an expectant look.

Mother Gu was puzzled.

I've never seen a child like this, do I need to ask?

She was full of doubts, but she didn't delve into it and refused on behalf of the eldest and second cubs.

"Big and Little are taking care of their younger siblings. They don't have time to play with you. Let's do it another time."

After saying that, go in and help.

Lu Baozhen stood there, her eyes suddenly turned dark and deep, and she didn't blink for a long time.

She stared at Gu's mother's back and suddenly laughed, with a malice that was inconsistent with her age.

"If you reject me, you will be in trouble." The voice was sweet and soft.

next moment.

“Clang!!”

The stool fell over, and the basins, dishes and bowls on the table all fell to the ground, shattering with a loud noise.

The ground was covered with water and there was another bang.

Someone shouted, "Aunt Gu...!!"
