MTL - Stepmother-Chapter 21 Uncle and nephew

Song Zhaodi thought about it carefully: "Fat but not greasy? Dongpo meat. You are more picky eaters than your son."

"You can't do it." Zhong Jianguo said, "I thought you could do everything."

Song Zhaodi was amused: "I'm so happy to see me deflated? However, you have to be disappointed again this time."

"You will?!" Zhong Jianguo stared.

Song Zhaodi nodded: "What makes me curious is that you never had enough to eat before. When you were in college, there was no way that the school cafeteria had Dongpo meat, and your troops were even less likely to cook for you. Pork, where have you eaten it?"

Joke, I've eaten it once in my life."

Song Zhaodi: "I saw it in the book." It's actually a food show, "Dongpo pork is not troublesome to make, but there are two seasonings that we don't have at home, sugar and rice wine."

“How much sugar do you need?” Zhong Jianguo asked.

Song Zhaodi: "Two catties of meat and one tael of sugar."

"A tael of white sugar?" Zhong Jianguo choked, "I thought how much. Are you out of money?"

Song Zhaodi: "I didn't dare to use the money that was given to me at that time, and now there are 170. 70 is our living expenses, and the remaining 100 yuan cannot be moved."

, holding an envelope and handing it to Song Zhaodi, "I paid my salary yesterday, and it's 1,500 yuan including yesterday's salary."

Song Zhaodi's hands trembled: "One, one thousand and five? You, how can you have so much money?" Enough to buy a courtyard next to the Forbidden City.

Song Zhaodi took it over, felt the thickness, and was very puzzled: "You have so much money, you are not willing to buy some milk powder for the eldest baby and the second baby?"

"I've never drank milk powder." Zhong Jianguo told the truth, "I've heard people say it a few times before, but the baby's mother has enough milk, so I never thought of buying them milk powder. Dabai Rabbit toffee, I thought it was sugar too. If you hadn't said that toffee was condensed milk, I wouldn't know."

Song Zhaodi hummed: "We've known each other for almost a month, and you're just saying it now, you can really bear it."

"

Song Zhaodi poured it out and saw that it was full of ten-yuan bills: "You are a soldier, I am a soldier, where can I go? Even if I want to go to a capitalist country, they will not give it to me. Apply for a permit. Don't make excuses for yourself all day long as if it's all my fault."

Zhong Jianguo said: "If you really want to count it, you really asked for it yourself."

"This page is turned over. When will your troops go out to buy things, buy me ten bags of milk powder."

Zhong Jianguo stretched out his hand and took the money back: "If you don't have any money, ask me for it, and I will take it first."

"Zhong Jianguo!" Song Zhaodi raised her voice abruptly, found Sanwa shaking, and quickly lowered the volume, "You promised me that the money is under my control."

Zhong Jianguo: "You are too good at spending money." After a while, "How many meat tickets does our family have?"

"Counting the last month, ten pounds of pork tickets." Song Zhaodi rolled her eyes, "It's not as good as—"

Zhong Jianguo hurriedly interrupted: "Don't even think about it, buy four jins. It's only two days in this month, and I don't want to eat stewed tofu with green vegetables every day for the next twenty-eight days."

"Listen to you." Zhong Jianguo put his watch on the ground while washing the sheets, Song Zhaodi glanced at it, "It's nine o'clock, wash quickly, let's go shopping."

Around ten o'clock, Song Zhaodi carried a bamboo basket on her back, Zhong Jianguo held Sanwa, and the couple went straight to the non-staple food factory.

On Wengzhou Island, there was originally only a supply and marketing cooperative. The main force of the East China Sea Fleet moved over, and the family members of the soldiers accompanied the army. They had to buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

The chickens and ducks raised by the people can all be sold to the non-staple food factory. With an extra profit, the fishermen on the island have no opinion on this, and the non-staple food factory is set up.

Zhong Jianguo introduced the neighbors to Song Zhaodi and said, "I suggest you go to the school to report as soon as possible. Political commissar Zhang said that after the lunar calendar year, the allowances for non-staple food and the army will be adjusted.

"The teacher's salary is estimated to be adjusted accordingly. You go ahead and others will have it. During the Chinese New Year, the school will give the teacher a bag of rice and a few catties of oil. , there is nothing left."

"I thought you were Wei Guangzheng." Song Zhaodi was very surprised.

Zhong Jianguo turned to her: "Wei Guangzheng?"

"Greatness, lightness and integrity." Song Zhaodi said.

Zhong Jianguo shook his head and laughed: "It's better to have rice and oil for the New Year, I'm here for you to eat every day with a mouth full of oil."

"Xiao Song, Xiao Zhong, what are you doing?" Sister-in-law Duan came towards her and found the basket behind Song Zhaodi, "Go to buy vegetables? Don't go, I've already bought them all."

Zhong Jianguo: "You buy it and save it for tomorrow, we'll buy it for dinner."

"I bought some fish and meat, and I couldn't stay overnight." Sister Duan said, "Go back. There are vegetables in the yard, so you don't need to buy any more."

Song Zhaodi: "Then I have to buy some, and see where the non-staple food factory is. I have been on the island for about 20 days, and I still don't know where the door of the supply and marketing agency is facing." , "Sister-in-law, come to my house to eat at night."

Sister-in-law Duan could not persuade him: "Then you buy less, I have already bought two catties of pork."

"I know." Song Zhaodi didn't buy less food because Sister Duan bought vegetables. Buy two sea bass, a duck, and four pounds of pork, and then buy some Shiling vegetables.

It was almost half past eleven when I got home, the eldest child and the second child were sitting at the door, looking very pitiful. Song Zhaodi wanted to laugh inexplicably: "Why don't you two go in, and the door is not locked."

Zhong Dawa jumped up and saw that the door was not locked, just bolted it from the inside, and pushed it open with a flick of the hand: "Why didn't you tell me when you went out?"

"I didn't find you." Song Zhaodi knew that he and Erwa went to play, and didn't want to find them at all.

Zhong Dawa is young, Song Zhaodi said it seriously, the child believed it and pursed her lips: "I'll tell you next time."

"Then I'll tell you next time I go out." Song Zhaodi said, "I'll give you fried meat at noon."

Erwa grinned happily, and her depressed mood instantly cleared up. She grabbed Song Zhaodi's arm and pointed at the basket: "Show me."

"Enter the room and see." Zhong Jianguo patted the back of his head, "steam the steamed buns first or clean up the fish and ducks first?"

Song Zhaodi: "Steamed buns. I have nothing to do in the afternoon, leave the fish and duck to me."

"It's like the Chinese New Year." Zhong Dawa said suddenly.

Song Zhaodi didn't react for a while, realized what he said, and smiled: "Your family used to eat so much for the New Year?"

"It doesn't seem to be." Zhong Dawa thought about it carefully, "only big fat meat. Stepmother, I like to eat big fat meat."

Erwa was afraid that Song Zhaodi could not see it, so she raised her small hand: "I also like big fat meat."

"I'll make it later." Song Zhaodi bought pork belly that was slightly more expensive than lean meat. When Zhong Jianguo was cooking steamed buns, Song Zhaodi cut about a pound of meat and cut the meat into thin slices , put a piece of garlic sprouts and non-spicy green peppers picked from Liu's vegetable garden to stir-fry a double-cooked pork.

Zhong Jianguo smelled the fragrance, swallowed, and watched Song Zhaodi pour out the translucent slices of meat, and couldn't help asking: "You really know how to make Dongpo meat?"

"Do you regret it?" Song Zhaodi looked down at him, "Captain Zhong, you are a man!"

Zhong Jianguo turned his head to look at the crackling firewood, but not Song Zhaodi.

Although Zhong Jianguo has more than 2,000 people under his command and is a big leader, he is only 30 years old this year, and in Song Zhaodi's eyes, he is a young man. When Zhong Jianguo wasn't angry with Song Zhaodi on purpose, Song Zhaodi didn't bother to bother with him.

After lunch, when Song Zhaodi was cleaning the steamed buns that had turned cold, she saw a small bowl of duck blood on the chopping board, and she couldn't help thinking that the last time she killed a duck, the duck blood was all on the ground , Zhong Jianguo said she was a prostitute. Still couldn't help but scold Zhong Jianguo in his heart.

Zhong Jianguo rubbed his inexplicably red ears, feeling that someone was talking to him behind his back, whispering a word, a careful woman, and ordered Xiao Li to go to the pier.

Song Zhaodi's parents, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, and two children could not fit in a jeep, so Master Liu asked his driver to go with Xiao Li.

Senior Liu's car, all the officers and officers knew each other, and followed Commander Zhong's car? Everyone can't understand this number. The company commander and platoon commander in the training area were not easy to ask. Mr. Liu's old partner, Political Commissar Lu grabbed Mr. Liu's arm and secretly asked him what was going on.

I didn't see anyone, so Master Liu didn't mention Liu Yang, only said something happened at home.

Commissar Lu saw that he was in a good mood and immediately guessed that it was a good thing.

Although Wengzhou Island is quite big, Zhong Dawa and Ma Zhenxing fought, and such a small thing can spread throughout the island. Master Liu hasn't been out of the island for a while, what happened to the Liu family? He didn't even hear the wind, which made Lu political commissar even more curious, chasing after Master Liu and asking what good things happened.

Master Liu was troubled by him, so he told him that his nephew had been found.

Commissar Lu knew that Mr. Liu had a nephew. During the festivals, they were out to perform tasks. When the family could not be reunited, Mr. Liu would always mention his elder brother's wife and son.

The nephew who is impossible to see again in this life not only suddenly appeared, but also Zhong Jianguo's brother-in-law? Political commissar Lu said for a while: "You are right, Xiao Zhong is the son of God."

Master Liu laughed dumbly: "I didn't expect such a coincidence in the world. Help me hide this. Once it gets out, I will reuse the small bell in the future. Those who are envious of the small bell Guys should say I'm crony."

"I still know this." Commissar Lu looked at his watch, "The ship will dock in an hour. Go back and have a look."

Senior Liu was in the barracks, and his heart had already flown to the pier. He didn't hold on, nor did he let Political Commissar Lu's driver take him to run home.

Zhong Jianguo actually wanted to go back and see how Song Zhaodi fooled her parents, but he had a training mission in the afternoon and couldn't leave because he was curious.

At three o'clock, the boat docked.

Mother Song was down-to-earth, looked around, and couldn't help but say, "It's no different from ours."

"It's warmer here." Father Song took off his thin jacket, "Xiao Liu, did you make it clear when you sent a telegram to Zhao Di, I, no, why didn't I see Zhao Di? What about Di?"

When the original owner was still there, he often taught the Song family how to speak Mandarin. When the Song family was in Xiaosong Village, "I" came to "I" because everyone in the village said that. Their family spoke Mandarin, but they became an alternative in the village.

When the boat sailed, Father Song explained to the family that when they arrived at Wengzhou Island, they had to speak Mandarin.

Liu Yang: "I said it. It stands to reason that it should be—

"Comrade Zhong, are you the father of Colonel Zhong?"

Liu Yang turned his head and saw a very spirited young man, still wearing a military uniform, and quickly said: "This is my father, the old husband of the head of Zhong, who are you?"

"Just call me Xiao Li, I'm the head's guard." Xiao Li hurriedly opened the car door, "Please get in the car."

Liu Yang didn't even think about it, he helped Father Song to get into the car first, and finally squeezed up with the child.

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, surprised, the father-in-law's family of the head of the regiment is really not the same as the previous father-in-law's family: "Comrade, there is a car behind you, you can sit in the back. "

Liu Yang froze for a moment: "You, you drive two cars to pick us up?"

"The head of the group guessed that he couldn't sit down, so he found another car." Xiao Li smiled, "When I came, I passed by the door of the head of the group, and my sister-in-law had already started to wash the vegetables."

Song mother hurriedly asked: "Our family recruits Di?"

"Ah? Yes, Mrs. Song Xiao." Xiao Li said.

Mother Song: "She, who will take care of her children when she washes vegetables? Jianguo has three children."

"The eldest child and the second child lead the younger brother to play." Xiao Li did not know that the Song family had never seen Zhong Jianguo's three children.

Since Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo came to Wengzhou Island, Song's mother has not been worried that her daughter will not be a good stepmother for a day, and Zhong Jianguo cannot be satisfied, and Zhong Jianguo wants to divorce her.

"These two children are very obedient." Father Song said with a special meaning.

Xiao Li didn't hear it, and said the truth: "It's very obedient, what the sister-in-law told them to do. Not going out either."

Song mother looked at Song father, and the old couple saw the relief in each other's eyes.

"Why did you make the chicken coop?" Mother Song asked.

Little Li: "I am the driver of the regiment leader and his security guard. I am very free when he is busy. The regiment leader is busy all day long, and I am free all day long to help him. It should be live.”

"Your team leader is often away?" Father Song asked.

Mother Song is satisfied.

I got out of the car and saw that Zhong Jianguo's house was a two-story building, with chrysanthemums in full bloom by the fence, the yard was full of vegetables, and there was a pressurized well, so I didn't need to carry water to eat, I was more satisfied .

Seeing a child running out of the house, Mother Song raised a smile and waved to Liu Yang: "Hurry up and bring the things I bought for the child."

"Dad, is my grandma here?"

Song Zhaodi's voice came from the room, and the Song family stopped.

"Yes." Dawa glanced at the big bag in Mother Song's hand, pursed her lips and smiled, turned and ran back to the house.

Mother Song was very surprised, and patted Father Song's arm quickly: "That child, that child knows that I am a grandma?!"

"Father, mother, eldest sister, brother-in-law, come in quickly." Song Zhaodi shouted, "eldest child, second child, move the bench for grandma and grandfather. You go into the house." Then he shouted at the arm, "Master Liu, my parents are here."

Mother Song slapped her on the arm: "What are you shouting, we are not big people, what are you calling a teacher?"

Liu Yang is not tall. He looks at the people running towards him with his feet on his feet, and whispers: "Father, mother, it's my uncle." Pointing to the outside of the fence.

"Brother-in-law, I'm not sure it's your uncle, and I won't write to the family." Song Zhaodi said, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Why didn't my aunt come?"

Liu Yang turned his head sharply and looked away: "My mother is too tired. Zhao Di, I, what should I say later? Quick, quick, Zhao Di, he is in the hospital, what should I do? What do you say?"

"No matter what you say, you have to go into the room and talk. Dad, mother, hurry in and rest." Song Zhaodi took the things from Song mother's hand, feeling quite heavy, and she was curious, "Mother, you What did you buy?"

Mother Song: "What's with the apples, oranges, malted milk essence and soy milk that I bought for a few children? His father."

"The people in the supply and marketing agency said it was rice sticks, dried sweet potatoes and candy." Father Song walked into the house and saw that the big baby was still moving the bench, so he believed Xiao Li's words, Zhong Jianguo's two A child is very obedient, "Quickly take it out and give it to the child to taste."

Song Zhaodi beckoned to Dawa and Erwa, opened the bag, and a fishy smell came over her face, she couldn't help frowning: "Mother, we are close to the sea, why do you still take dried fish? Keep it for you to eat. You are not too tired to carry it from such a long way."

"It's not for you, it's for his uncle and his aunt." Song Mother said, out of the corner of her eyes, she caught two men and women in their fifties at the door, and quickly patted Song Zhaodi arm.

Song Zhaodi raised her head and smiled: "Sister-in-law, teacher, come in, don't stand by the door."

"You're still called sister-in-law?" Sister-in-law Duan joked.

Song Zhaodi was stunned, thinking about what to say to her sister-in-law. When she saw the person behind her, she suddenly realized: "Look at my head, aunt, uncle. This is the eel and hairtail that my brother-in-law brought you. ." He walked towards the two with dried fish, "This is my eldest brother-in-law Liu Yang, and this is my eldest sister Song Laibao. This is their child, the eldest is Dali and the second is Liu Gen."

& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; "Okay!" The nephew finally found it, and Mr. Liu was very excited. Because of his excitement, Liu Yang, who had three points with his elder brother, did not know what to say, "Then What, my in-laws, are you thirsty? I, I'll go get some tea."

Zhong Dawa pointed at the thermos bottle beside the small square table: "Uncle, here it is."

"Call grandpa." Song Zhaodi said, "call aunt and grandma in the future."

Zhong Dawa frowned slightly: "Why?"

"Because my uncle and aunt are the same as grandma and grandfather, they are all relatives of our family." Song Zhaodi said.

Master Liu raised his hand: "Little Song, the child can call whatever he likes, it's just a title, just have us in your heart."

"Then I'll listen to you." Song Zhaodi took out all the snacks that Song mother bought, and instantly filled the small square table, "I didn't lie to you?"

Zhong Dawa pursed her lips and smiled, subconsciously looked at Mother Song, and whispered, "This grandma is very good."

"Pfft!" Master Liu sat opposite his nephew and looked at Liu Yang's eldest son, who was about the same age as Dawa. He was also a grandfather, and was inexplicably nervous. When Dawa said this, Instead, Master Liu relaxed, "This grandfather is also very good, and so are my aunt and uncle."

Zhong Dawa looked at the fish at his feet and nodded: "It's all good."

Song Zhaodi smiled, took apart the Jiangmi strips, opened a little and tasted that the sugar was not high, pushed it directly to Dawa, beckoned to the two nephews, "You four eat separately. Go upstairs. You can go up or in the courtyard, you are not allowed to run outside."

"Okay!" Zhong Dawa took it, "Let's go upstairs."

Song Zhaodi: "Dali, Liu Gen, follow Dawa upstairs." While speaking, she gave her elder sister Song Laibao a wink.

Sister Song put down her **** and pushed him: "Go and play with my little brother. Is it my brother?"

"The big baby is the biggest." Song Zhaodi grabbed a few more candies, "Give one to the big baby and the second baby, and the big baby will take out all their little toys for you to play with."

As soon as the eldest child and the second child left, except for Mr. Liu and Mrs. Duan, the rest were all relatives of the two children. The two children were not as timid as when they first entered the door, so they took Song Zhaodi's candy and ran upstairs.

The children were sent away, and Song Zhaodi said, "Brother-in-law, Uncle Liu wants to know how those people treated you and Aunt Yang after your father died." After a while, "Brother-in-law, don't worry about adding to Uncle Liu. Trouble, he is the teacher, we are not afraid of them."

"Actually, it's all over." Liu Yang said with tears in his eyes.

Song Zhaodi sighed slightly and winked at her mother, who got up and went to the kitchen.

Master Liu's wife was illiterate before she married Master Liu. People in that era have no tomorrow until Mrs. Duan and Mrs. Liu got married, and Mrs. Duan didn't have a serious name.

When Mrs. Duan was young, relatives and neighbors called her Xiao Duan. Now that I am old and the wife of the teacher, I can no longer call "Xiao Duan". No matter how old or young, I call my sister-in-law or sister-in-law Duan.

Sister Duan took the fish and meat she bought to Zhong's house after lunch.

Song Zhaodi stews the duck and kills the fish. When the Song family arrived, Song Zhaodi was marinating the fish with salt and **** slices.

Song mother saw the four fish on the chopping board, happy and distressed: "Zhao Di, the future is too long?"

"Mother, it's too exaggerated." Song Zhaodi said, "The fish is cheaper than what our family sells. Because I know you will come over, the meat tickets saved last month until the end of the month are useless. Eat one at a time. Enough, let's all satisfy our cravings."

Mother Song couldn't help but say, "We are only a few people, and we can't eat four fish."

"Our family of five, our family of six, and the Liu family of four." Song Zhaodi said, "The eldest brother-in-law's cousin and cousin haven't finished school yet. Don't say four fish, let's get four more There's not enough fish either. Mother, help me make the fire, and I'll start cooking."

Mother Song wanted to say that five of the children could not eat a few bites at all, but she bought all the fish, so it was too late to say anything: "You have three children to raise now, and you will have children in the future. , save some flowers."

"I know, mother." Song Zhaodi said, "We have saved money."

Mother Song said "um" and asked in a low voice, "Is there any movement?"

Song Zhaodi was puzzled: "What's the news?"

Mother Song pointed to her belly: "Aren't you stupid?"

Song Zhaodi was speechless: "Mother, from the day I and Zhong Jianguo got married, we have only been together for 24 days, even if I have, I can't feel it."

Mother Song counted with her fingers: "Yes."

Song Zhaodi turned around and rolled her eyes, the old lady was also very impatient: "Mother, when you come to Wengzhou Island, does the second sister know?"

"We came in a hurry and didn't tell her." Mother Song said, "When we return to the village, if she doesn't ask, I won't tell. When she asks, I'll talk."

Song Zhaodi disagreed: "It's not fair to tell the second sister about such a big thing."

"Then what should you call your mother?" Song mother said, "After your second sister was born, your mother's belly has not moved, thinking that there are only two daughters in this life, and I am not partial to your eldest sister and your second sister. Don't rely on it. Your eldest sister has it, and your second sister also has it. Even if there is a headband, my mother has not lost your second sister.

"What about her? I don't know when Liu Yang fell in love with the whole family. The village head went to our house and proposed Liu Yang to join our family, but she didn't say anything. It was confirmed, she jumped out to stop it. I can't say, Laibao, don't go, tell your sister to go? Is this what a mother should say?"

Song Zhaodi: "Second sister didn't say it at the time, because she thought the eldest brother-in-law would choose her. She usually treats the eldest brother-in-law very well, maybe she thought the eldest brother-in-law knew what she thought."

"She was born by me, I didn't see it." Song mother said, "How could he know that your elder brother-in-law is such an honest person. Your second sister is just that you feel special. clever.

"As for what happened later, when you were there at the time, my mother told her that she must find someone who was better than Liu Yang in everything, so that she would not suffer any losses. As for her, she was silent. I found one myself. I'm going to get married, and I'll tell your father when I go back to the village to get a certificate. Tell me, is there such a girl in the world?"

Song Zhaodi sighed: "It's been a few years. You're a mother, don't care about her. If she is sensible, she wouldn't say anything against her eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law getting married."

"I don't want to hide it from her either." Song Mother said, "Her man's salary is higher than Liu Yang, and every time she goes back, she babbles endlessly. It seems that our family can't do anything without her man .

"Your eldest brother-in-law is now an orphan of a martyr, or a member of the military. If she finds out, she will feel inferior to your eldest sister, and she will be angry with us, and will not come back during the New Year." I couldn't help sighing. In one breath, "There is no one in our family who likes to compare, and there is no one who is so careful. Who is she like?"

Song Zhaodi: "Like your aunt and your cousin."

Song Zhaodi didn't mention it, she counted the days and the time of the boat coming from Shencheng, and tried to get Zhong Jianguo's stepmother and ex-mother-in-law together, only said that the two came to Wengzhou Island what happened above.

"Your cousin will come again." Mother Song affirmed.

Song Zhaodi knew that Zhong Jianguo's ex-mother-in-law would come again, but she didn't think about Zhao Yin when she saw her mother: "Did my mother hear something from my uncle?"

"Her son, the one born by Zhao Yin's marriage to Jianguo's father, is eighteen this year." Song mother said, "She was born on the second day of National Day, and her name is Shengli. After graduation, I stayed at home and didn't go to work in the factory. Listening to your uncle, I wanted Jianguo to arrange a job for him."

Song Zhaodi's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it: "Why is it all this virtue?"

"Don't mention it." Mother Song sighed, "When we came, several women in the village asked your father if the treatment here in Jianguo is good. I guess I also want to send the child to join the army. ."

Song Zhaodi: "Being a soldier is glorious, but being a soldier is also hard. Now the weather is better. I heard Mrs. Duan say that in the dog days, officers and men are all sunbathing like black carbon, and some People peeling from the sun." After a pause, "Zhong Jianguo is no exception."

"They all thought that there would be no wars now, and being a soldier would be like the former puppet army, sitting in the house all day eating and drinking spicy food." Song mother explained.

Song Zhaodi thought about it carefully: "Go back and tell them that the war is still going on."

"War?" Mother Song was shocked, "Old Jiang's people are here again?"

Song Zhaodi hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, it's not this way. I remember that there was a war in the south. I can't remember exactly where it was. I'll go back and ask Jianguo." Immediately, she lowered her voice, "Mother, are you still crying outside?"

Mother Song walked to the kitchen door, hooked her head and looked outside: "Don't cry. His uncle is talking to your father, maybe it's about your brother-in-law's past. How do you eat these fish? "

"I read it in the book, steamed and braised." The two sea bass bought by Song Zhaodi were steamed, and Sister Duan bought the fish for braised, "I used to want to make it when I was at home, but ours No such things. Mother, I'll make braised pork for you today."

Mother Song looked at her daughter as a different person, and was very pleased: "It's different when you get married, you all know how to cook meat for your mother."

"I used to want to do it too, but you think I can't live." This is the truth. The original owner used to eat clear soup with little water and no oil and water in his stomach, so he dug a piece of pork and put it on the steamed bun, sprinkled a little salt, and dipped the steamed bun in oil to eat, but was caught and beaten by Mother Song.

Mother Song: "The girls love beauty and play. You want to eat besides studying. Mother used to say that your young lady's body and maid's life. I didn't expect her to look away."

"I was only ten years old at that time, and no one knew what the future would be like." Song Zhaodi said, "But one thing is, the future will get better and better."

Mother Song nodded: "It's better than a few years earlier."

"Mother, the eldest baby and the second baby are very obedient." Song Zhaodi knew what Song mother was most worried about.

Mother Song said "um" and suddenly thought: "Where's the third one?"

"You didn't see it?" Song Zhaodi was surprised, "There is a small bed by the door, and the three babies are sleeping. I sleep for a while every afternoon."

Mother Song pushed the firewood inside, got up and went to it. Seeing that there was really a bed to the east of the kitchen door, she couldn't help but sigh: "The people in the city really have a way. Zhao Di, how did you make this bed, look back Tell your brother-in-law and make one for our family Liu Gen. In the future, when Liu Gen sleeps, your Aunt Yang doesn't have to stay in the room and watch him."

There used to be a woman in Xiaosong Village who put her child on the bed to sleep, she cooked, and when she finished the meal, the child died.

Father Song was invited to check on the child, and by looking at the child's face, he knew that it was the child who woke up and played by himself, somehow got into the quilt and covered himself to death.

After that, the villagers of Xiaosong Village did not worry about their children sleeping by themselves.

Liu Ling has the memory of the original owner. When the three babies were sleeping, Liu Ling used a small quilt to cover him and did not dare to cover him with a quilt. Only when guarding him would he dare to cover Sanwa with a quilt.

"This thing is easy to make, and there are drawings in Jianguo." Song Zhaodi said, "I'll ask him for it. Mother, the fish has already been steamed, so should I cook it now?"

Mother Song has no opinion: "When will Jianguo come back?"

"Around six o'clock." Song Zhaodi said, "If he doesn't come back, he will put the dishes in the pot and heat them first."

Steam fish in a large pot and stir-fry vegetables in a small pot. Song Zhaodi made braised fish and braised pork, followed by frying two pots of lotus root, two pots of lettuce and green vegetables.

While making seaweed egg soup, Song Zhaodi heard someone calling Brother Zhong, and deliberately said: "Mother, Zhong Jianguo often comes back at this time. When I get home, I don't have to do anything, just eat."

Song mother asked: "What do you ask him to do? What kind of work do you think he can do?"

"You can do laundry, chop wood, anything." Song Zhaodi said casually.

Song mother glared: "It's nonsense again. What does it look like for gentlemen to do laundry? Don't think about it."

"Auntie, you may not know that I wash all the clothes in our house." Zhong Jianguo walked in, "Those sheets, sheets on the rope outside, and Sanwa's diapers, Zhao Di has always I haven't washed it."

Song mother turned to Song Zhaodi and couldn't believe it: "Really?!"

"Mother, he understands my hard work with my children." Song Zhaodi actually didn't want to mention this. "I want to wash, but he won't let me." Without waiting for Zhong Jianguo to speak, he said, "Take the Dongpo meat out."

Zhong Jianguo's face changed slightly, smiled at Song's mother, saw the sliced, shiny meat, he subconsciously glanced outside, saw that no one came in, he waved at Song Zhaodi, "Quickly. I'll try a piece."

"You are so poor!" Dongpo's meat is big and there are many people. In order to eat more for everyone, Song Zhaodi cut the meat into pieces, prepared two pots, and another pot was being cut. , just cut him a big piece and put it in his mouth.

Zhong Jianguo couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, swallowed the meat, and couldn't help but say, "Just punch this piece of meat, it's worth it, it's worth it." After speaking, he turned and walked out.

Mother Song couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on her arm: "You guys. Forget it, I'm too lazy to say it."

"Then don't say anything." Song Zhaodi said, "I will go to school next month, and I have 80 yuan a month. If there is any difficulty at home, mother, ask father to write to me. Letter, I will send you money."

Mother Song opened her mouth: "So much?! You, you marry Zhong Jianguo, you are married right."

"Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "Even if the school does not stop classes, I will be a teacher after graduating from college, and the salary may not be so much."

Mother Song quickly asked, "Why are there so many here?"

"The school is a school for the children of the army." Song Zhaodi said, "It teaches the descendants of officers. The education department gives some money, and the army also subsidizes some money. The salary is higher than other places."

Mother Song was completely relieved, however, when she saw the dishes on the table, she couldn't help but say that Song Zhaodi would not live.

Zhong Jianguo ate Dongpo Pork again, and the whole person looked like he had eaten honey. Before Song Zhaodi could open his mouth, he said, "Uncle, auntie, the weather is hot here, if you don't eat it, you will eat it tomorrow. Can't eat it."

"Put it in the well." Sister Song said suddenly.

Song Zhaodi: "This is a pressurized well, there is no well." Seeing that her sister and brother-in-law only served vegetables, she thought about it, and gave them a lot of meat, and then said, "Dad, this Dongpo bibimbap is better than bibimbap with vegetable juice, do you want it?"

"There's no food today." Zhong Dawa had long thought, "I know." Her eyes lit up, "Keep the broth for me." She took two miscellaneous noodles and went out. run.

Mother Song hurriedly asked: "What is this child doing?"

"I guess who's going to ask for rice." Song Zhaodi guessed so, but she didn't expect the big baby to come back with a bowl full of rice, and she couldn't help crying, "Who gave it to you?"

Zhong Dawa was very proud: "Mom in the forest. Dad, go get me a bowl, I'm going to use broth for bibimbap."

Zhong Jianguo took out four small bowls, divided the rice into four portions, Erwa and Liu Gen had a little less rice, Dawa and Dali had a little more rice, and then picked the meat out. Come out, pour the sauce on top of the rice. Seeing Master Liu's pair of sons and daughters looking at him with wide eyes, they said with a smile, "Have you never seen something like this before? Daddy thought of it himself."

"My mother cooks, even the soup is delicious." Zhong Dawa gave Song Zhaodi a lot of face, and wanted to call her stepmother several times, but when she saw oranges and apples hanging on the wall, she immediately Sorry to shout.

Mother Song said with a smile: "Then you can't just eat soup, you have to eat meat too." As she spoke, she gave him and Erwa two pieces of meat.

The two little guys immediately smiled.

Zhong Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Liu Yang and Sister Song also felt relieved.

After the meal, Zhong Jianguo naturally washed the pot and the dishes. Rao was Song's mother a little mentally prepared, and couldn't help but talk about Song Zhaodi's ignorance.

Song Zhaodi didn't want to talk to her, change the subject, and tell them where to take a bath, and who and where when they turn back at night.

When Song Zhaodi saw Song Zhaodi, she was too lazy to talk about it. And because of this, when Mother Song was sleeping, she found that there was a headband under the bed and didn't think much about it. She mistakenly thought that Song Zhaodi had fallen when she was cleaning the room.

The eldest baby, the second baby and the third baby sleep with Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo. There are three children between them. If they want to make eye contact, they can only see each other's eyes. Song Zhaodi is happy : "Captain Zhong, are you satisfied with sleeping like this?"
