Stepmother

    Song Zhaodi thought she heard right: "Staring at you?"

    "Yes." Zhong Jianguo nodded.

    Song Zhaodi looked at him: "Did she like you?"

    Zhong Jianguo shuddered: "Don't talk nonsense." He swallowed, "I think it's the same reason to stare at you."

    "Nervous disease." Song Zhaodi frowned, "When?"

    Zhong Jianguo: "I'm doing laundry these days. I'm back, and I'm going out with the head of Shen. Shen Xuancheng is away these days, and Sun Wanru washes all their clothes."

    "Is the clothes clean?" Song Zhaodi was curious.

    Zhong Jianguo: "The weather is hot, I change it every day or two, and it's not dirty at all. Just sprinkle some washing powder and rub it in the water. I can't tell if it's dry or not."

    "Self-reliance, big baby, reborn, from tomorrow onwards, the three of you will wash our clothes." Song Zhaodi shouted outside.

    Five children were playing cockfights in the courtyard. When they heard Song Zhaodi's words, they agreed to continue.

    Song Zhaodi said to Zhong Jianguo again: "Don't let them wash my clothes."

    "I'll explain to them tomorrow." Zhong Jianguo yawned, "Are you sleepy?"

    Song Zhaodi was not sleepy. Seeing that Zhong Jianguo was really sleepy, she said, "I'm sleepy, let's go upstairs." Then he told the five children that he was playing in the courtyard and was not allowed to run outside.

    I grew up on my own, not interested in games like cockfighting. But the big baby, who was more than a year younger than him, was very interested in playing, and he also brought Rebirth, who had never liked to play. If self-reliance dares to say that cockfighting is boring, four younger brothers can beat him in a group.

    When I heard my parents go upstairs, I almost laughed and said, "Let's go to bed too."

    "It's still early." Da Wa waved her hand, "It's not even eight o'clock, continue, continue. Be independent, let's fight."

    Sanwa squeezed over: "Self-reliance brother, let's fight."

    "Sanwazi, let's play." When Gengsheng saw their little fox, he found an honest person to bully him, "I'll stand still."

    Sanwa gave him a look: "I don't want to play with you."

    "I don't want to play with you on my own." Gengsheng said.

    Sanwa stared at Zili: "Brother Zili, do you want to play with me?"

    Zi Li couldn't help but think that the scene of Sanwa looking for him to turn the flower rope back then, in the past, Zi Li would talk about it. Now, Zi Li smiled and said, "I don't want to!"

    "Pfft!" More happy, "Sanwa, don't cry."

    Sanwa snorted: "I'll go tell my father and mother, you all work together to bully me."

    "And let no one sleep!?"

    The five brothers shivered, followed the sound and looked over, there was an extra head on the window next door.

    The five brothers looked at each other, is she sick?

    I patted my brothers on the shoulders and whispered, "Go into the room and talk."

    "Is that Sun Wanru?" As soon as she entered the room, Dawa couldn't wait to ask.

    Nodding independently.

    "Then she's really sick." Erwa said, "We played in our yard, and we didn't bother her. Grandma Liu didn't say anything. She was the only one. I don't believe her now. Just sleep."

    Think about it for yourself: "Go upstairs and ask Mom and Dad. Sun Wanru's voice is so loud, they must have heard it."

    Although Zhong Jianguo didn't go out to sea these days, he had to be on guard against enemy attacks. When he entered the camp, he entered a state of combat, and he didn't dare to relax at all. When I got home to relax, I found that I was very tired.

    Upstairs, Zhong Jianguo took off his clothes and lifted the quilt to sleep. In the past, I would fight with Song Zhaodi a few times, but I have no interest in these days. :

    Sun Wanru let out a roar, Zhong Jianguo sat up abruptly, realized that the neighbor next door was nervous, cursed, and lay down again: "Zhao Di, is she like this during the day?"

    "Not during the day." Song Zhaodi said, "It's the first time since she was on the island." The voice fell, and when she heard a knock on the door, Song Zhaodi patted Zhong Jianguo, "Go out and have a look."

    Zhong Jianguo rubbed his eyes and went out, and heard several sons ask Sun Wanru what was wrong. Zhong Jianguo waved his hand, he is crazy, don't guess. Go home and sleep.

    Seeing that he didn't want to talk and couldn't sleep, the five brothers opened the utility room and took out all the books inside to see if there were any missing storybooks.

      "

    "Why did you fall in love with me in the first place?" Song Zhaodi asked rhetorically.

    Zhong Jianguo: "Frank, hardworking, hate my stepmother as much as I do. And I can give you the life you want. With this last point, you will not dare to abuse my three children. "

    "In fact?" Song Zhaodi asked with a smile.

    Zhong Jianguo pulled up the quilt and covered his head, looking like he didn't want to say more.

    Song Zhaodi: "Shen Xuancheng is not looking for a mother for his children, but a daughter-in-law for himself. He doesn't need to be like you, to see if I am diligent and hardworking, he saw that Sun Wanru didn't grow crooked, or he was Just go to the eldest lady of the Sun family that I met before I became a soldier."

    "I don't agree." Zhong Jianguo said, "Marrying a daughter-in-law is to marry to live, not to look good."

    Song Zhaodi: "Then why did you marry the big baby's mother?"

    "Gentle and sensible." Zhong Jianguo said, "She is a teacher again."

    Song Zhaodi was delighted: "Do you think she is a teacher, and her character must be good? Then Shen Xuancheng thinks that Sun Wanru is a miss of the Sun family, and her knowledge is definitely not bad." , "You've been with Bai Hua, but you haven't found her to be soft-hearted, unassertive, and easy to deceive. Shen Xuancheng has never been alone with Sun Wanru, and it's normal that she didn't find her head sick."

    "They have been married for six years." Zhong Jianguo said.

    Song Zhaodi: "I can guarantee that what they have said in six years is not as much as what we have said in a month."

    "Listen to what Mrs. Shen said, Sun Wanru is not very satisfied with Shen Xuancheng." Zhong Jianguo said, "I don't think I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with Shen Xuancheng. Wait a minute, Song Zhaodi, Sun Wanru doesn't like Shen Xuancheng. They have two daughters—"

    Song Zhaodi pulled up the quilt and covered her head.

    "Don't try to hide!" Zhong Jianguo pulled the quilt off.

    Song Zhaodi turned her head and said, "I hate you!"

    Zhong Jianguo froze, turned around and twisted her face: "You really, enough!"

    "You think you've had enough time with me?" Song Zhaodi asked.

    Zhong Jianguo snorted: "Don't misunderstand me on purpose."

    "Captain Zhong, do you know the seven-year itch?" Song Zhaodi turned to face him and asked.

    Zhong Jianguo shook his head: "What do you mean?"

    "It means that after seven years of marriage, a couple will have a lot of contradictions, and they will hate each other." Song Zhaodi said, "We got married in six or seven years, and we will enter the seventh one in half a month. Years ago, will you suddenly feel fed up one day because I don't want to have children, and then divorce me?"

    Zhong Jianguo glanced at her lightly and sneered: "You are the one who wants to divorce."

    "I swear to God, I never thought about it." Song Zhaodi stretched out her hand.

    Zhong Jianguo: "You are the daughter of God. If you break your promise, he will not care about you. I tell you, Song Zhaodi, you are a member of my Zhong family in life, and you will be crowned in death. Take my last name. Divorce? I'll talk about it in my next life."

    "I won't get married in my next life." Song Zhaodi said.

    Zhong Jianguo wants to ask, how are you so sure? When the words reached his lips, Pu Chi was amused: "Sleep, sleep, don't talk nonsense. Maybe I will be out of the sea early tomorrow morning."

    The Foreign Ministry negotiated to no avail, and the Imperial City began to discuss the operational plan.

    In 1973, in the middle of winter, just after Laba, Zhong Jianguo told Song Zhaodi that he moved to the camp. As for whether he can come back for the Spring Festival, it depends on whether Lao Jiang asks him to come back.

     When Zhong Jianguo said these words, all five sons were by his side. Just after he finished speaking, the tears of the five children came out.

    Sanwa hugged Zhong Jianguo's arm and forbid him to go, was pulled away by the big baby and slapped him on the buttocks.

    The eldest baby, who will be twelve years old in a month, is almost as tall as Song Zhaodi. .

    Song Zhaodi sent Zhong Jianguo back, and saw Dawa and Sanwa fighting. Seeing that Dawa was hiding from Sanwa, and Sanwa scratched Dawa unilaterally, Song Zhaodi didn't care.

    The brothers were tired from fighting, so Song Zhaodi called the two children to her side, picked up Erwa's drawing book, and smacked the brothers' ass. Only then did a few children go out to play.

    The war was imminent, the soldiers in the family area moved to the camp, and the children on the island were not in the mood to play.

    Song Zhaodi said it, seeing several children with dizzy heads, and realizing that the children have really grown up.

    The 27th of the twelfth lunar month, which is also the 19th of January, 1974 in the solar calendar, Song Zhaodi woke up like a few days earlier and played with the radio, trying to hear the news from the south.

    I thought that the signal could not be found again this time, but the squeaking sound made Song Zhaodi's eyes light up. She hurriedly shook the antenna slowly. After a while, she could hear the voice clearly, but she wished she did not hear it.

    The brothers looked at each other, walked up to Song Zhaodi and asked, "Mother, do you have any news about my grandfather?"

    Song Zhaodi froze for a moment, then shook her head: "No. The newspaper should arrive, go and read the newspaper."

    Kengsheng turned around and ran out to get a newspaper. It was full of news about South Vietnam’s occupation of the Xisha Islands, and there was not even a single word of Qi, so Kangsheng was very disappointed.

      Are some of your grandfather's old comrades in arms?"

    Self-reliance and regeneration nodded.

    "They are reused now, and your grandfather's treatment will be much better than before." Song Zhaodi was afraid that the two children did not understand, and explained, "The people who are detaining your grandfather will feel that they don't know when , your grandfather will also be reused, so don't dare to treat him harshly."

    "Really?" Gengsheng asked quickly.

    Song Zhaodi couldn't guarantee it, but she still nodded.

    "Mother, didn't you say that you have no relatives for self-reliance and rebirth? Why do you have an extra grandfather?"

    Song Zhaodi raised her head and saw Dawa standing outside the door with a puzzled face: "I—"

    "Zhao Di!"

    The four mothers looked out, and Zhou Shufen ran in like the wind.

    What's wrong with this woman? Song Zhaodi frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

    "Zhao Di, that **** Ma Zhonghua is going to the battlefield." Zhou Shufen said, tears streaming down her face, "You, you call Captain Zhong and ask him to persuade Lao Ma. , okay? I beg you, Zhao Di."
