Stepmother

    Song Zhaodi shook her head slightly: "Uncle said he went back."

    "Go back, where are you going?" Sister Duan didn't understand.

    Song Zhaodi: "The school is ready to resume classes, and I will inform my uncle to go back as soon as possible. Wait at home first. How to arrange the follow-up depends on the relevant departments. Uncle has already gone home the day he sent this letter. "

    "Resumption, resumption of classes?" Sister Duan was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

    Song Zhaodi nodded and suddenly thought: "Auntie, your Liu Wei can apply for the military academy."

    "The military academy?" Sister Duan shook her head, "No, no, Liu Wei is twenty-four or five years old."

    Song Zhaodi pretended to think seriously: "It should be possible. Before the start of the Great Revolution, the senior three students who were preparing to take the college entrance examination are now older than Liu Wei.

    "When Liu Wei wanted to join the army, he also wanted to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University through the army. But it was never his turn. This time he gave up, and going to university is expected to be his regret for the rest of his life."

    "But Liu Wei graduated from junior high school." Sister Duan said, "I think his test is also a white test."

    Song Zhaodi: "Then you have to try. The letter has the address left by my uncle. I will reply to my uncle now and ask him to find a set of high school textbooks, and then you can send it to Liu Wei immediately. Second, if you are not sure, take the test again next year.”

    "Then, why don't you try it." Sister Duan still felt that her son's test was also a white test, "Xiao Song, thank you."

    Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Why are you being polite to me. Erwa, go get the stationery and pen."

    The big baby yawned and opened her eyes: "Grandma, don't be afraid of wolves and tigers. Uncle Liu Wei graduated from junior high school, but many high school students didn't pay much attention to the class.

    "The things that the high school students learned ten years ago have already been returned to the teachers. Maybe they are not as good as Uncle Liu Wei. With the textbooks given by my mother, he will be able to take the test after studying for a year and a half. Go to military school."

    "You said it lightly." Sister Duan glared at him, "You think Liu Wei is you, and your parents are college students."

    Zhong Dawa sat up straight: "This has nothing to do with parents."

    The eldest child lay back and said, "I advise you not to let it go." After speaking, she suddenly thought, "Mother, what should I do with Dali?"

    "Your uncle and grandfather said it in the letter." Song Zhaodi said, "When he left, he told the village chief to invite the college students who have not returned and the intellectuals who were sent to Xiaosong Village to the villagers. Children make up lessons. I asked your uncle and grandfather to find two sets of textbooks and send one to Dali."

    Sister Duan: "His uncle and grandpa can definitely think of it."

    The big baby waved his hand: "I see. Mother, why am I always sleepy today."

    "I ate too much at noon." He took the book down and gave him a slap on the forehead, "Come and do math with us."

    The baby didn't move: "Wait until I wake up."

    Sleep till 5pm, Song Zhaodi wanted to kick him. However, Dawa's temper forced him to do something, even if he did it, he didn't care. Song Zhaodi handed him over to Self-Reliance and Revitalization.

    The brothers found that the big baby was awake, so they pulled him to the pressurized well, pressed his head to tell him to wash his face, and woke up sleepy. Later, he dragged the big baby to the magnolia tree to review the high school textbooks.

    Supper was made by Regen and his younger brothers. Although the Qi family brothers and sisters were "driven away". Because of the arrival of the two, the family has no appetite.

    On the 26th of June in the solar calendar, in the morning, Song Zhaodi took a stack of cloth tickets given by the Qi family and bought a bunch of cloth back. When I got home, I called the seven children in front of me, and each made four sets of clothes, two of which were two sets of trousers with mid-sleeve tops. The other two sets are shorts and shorts.

    Song Zhaodi designed it herself, cut it, and sewed it with a sewing machine. The clothes of the seven brothers are exactly the same.

    After ten days, the clothes are all ready, and the school for the children of the army is also closed for summer vacation.

    The house was packed and the key to the door was handed over to Sister-in-law Duan. Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo took their seven children to the imperial capital.

    Before setting off, Regent used Liu's phone to call Lao Qi and tell him the approximate time.

    The next morning, Qi Lao told everyone that his two eldest grandsons were coming back.

    Several old generals who didn't know the news outside were happy for him. He vaguely guessed that the self-reliance and the rejuvenation were hidden, and wanted to help Qi Lao to find it, because they were watched when they came and went, and the generals who did not dare to act were also happy for Qi Lao, and asked when the self-reliance and the rejuvenation would come back. .

    Elder Qi didn't care whether the two grandsons could arrive smoothly or not, and directly told everyone that it was the morning of July 7th.

    On the morning of July 7th, the Zhong family did arrive at the imperial capital. However, the weather is too hot, and the body is sour.

    Song Zhaodi didn't want to see Elder Qi like this, so she told Qi Mingwei who came to pick them up, find a hostel, and they would take a shower and change clothes.

    As soon as Qi Mingwei saw the Zhong family, he could smell their odor. However, he was not surprised. After all, when he came back from Wengzhou Island a few days ago, his body was no better than Zhong Jianguo and the others.

    Qi Mingwei met Old General Qi before, and said that the Zhong family was very rude, Old General Qi said that he knew, and let Qi Mingwei go back to his own house.

    Qi Mingwei suddenly knew that as long as he was self-reliant and rehabilitated, let alone the Zhong family's rudeness, even if Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo made excessive demands, Qi Lao would not care about them.

    Seeing the old man's attitude clearly, Qi Mingwei directly sent the Zhong family to the Imperial Hotel and gave them four rooms.

    Song Zhaodi said three is enough.

    Qi Mingwei just told the waiter, minus one room.

    The Imperial Hotel is for VIPs. There is not only a bathroom but also a fan in the room. When Song Zhaodi was taking a bath, Zhong Jianguo went to several sons' rooms, called the children to him, and explained that when they met Mr. Qi, they must be sweet and polite, and not be like being at home. .

    Dawa was the first to say that she would not be ashamed of self-reliance and rebirth.

    Zhong Jianguo felt relieved when he saw Dawa say so.

    When going out, Zhong Jianguo was wearing casual clothes. Grey pants, white shirt. The clothes Song Zhaodi brought were also gray and white. The family of nine went out, and the two people who went to pick them up with Qi Mingwei stared straight at them—it was shocking.

    Qi Mingwei's scalp was numb. Seeing that the clothes on several children were brand new, he suddenly regretted giving them all the cloth tickets. Unfortunately, it is too late to regret.

    When the Zhong family went to take a bath, Qi Mingwei was afraid that his father would be in a hurry, so he borrowed the phone in the hotel to call Mrs. Qi.

    Elder Qi estimated that it would only take ten minutes to take a bath. Twenty minutes later, he was standing under the tree at the door and waiting. Passers-by asked him why he didn't go back to the house and what he was doing standing outside. Qi Lao laughed and said, his family's self-reliance and rebirth are coming back.

    After the Great Revolution, all the marshals who were still alive lived in Ziteng Courtyard. Thanks to Lao Qi's narration every day, the attendants in Ziteng Court knew that self-reliance and rejuvenation were Qi Lao's two eldest grandsons.

    Everyone is also very curious about what has become of the two children who have been wandering for nearly nine years. Seeing Qi Lao at the door, he knew they were coming soon. People who have nothing important to do, just chat with Elder Qi, and wait to see the third generation of the Qi family.

    The bottom of the tree was full of people, self-reliance and rebirth had not yet happened, Lao Qi couldn’t wait any longer, and asked the attendant to call and ask.

    The number of the Imperial Hotel, the waiter did not know, so he ran out to find someone to ask for the number.

    The attendant walked forward, and three cars stopped in front of Qi's house.

    The people who waited for a long time said in unison: "Come."

    Elder Qi walked over on crutches, the car door opened, and a middle-aged man and woman came down. Qi Lao hurriedly threw the crutches to the people beside him, no matter who the other party was, he stretched out his hand and said, "Captain Zhong, thank you. Teacher Song, thank you."

    Zhong Jianguo walked over quickly: "You are too polite."

    "It should be, it should be." Old Qi held Zhong Jianguo's hand, but he couldn't help but look into the car.

    Seven and a half boys came down one after another, wearing exactly the same clothes, four of them were about the same height and short, Qi Lao's eyes were blurred, and he was a little embarrassed: "Captain Zhong, self-reliance and rebirth—"

    "Self-reliance, rehabilitate, come here." Zhong Jianguo supported Qi Lao's arm and pointed to the two children standing beside Song Zhaodi, "The one with whiter skin is Ziliang, and the one with darker skin is Reborn."

    Self-reliance and Rebirth The last time I saw Qi Lao, Qi Lao has black hair, and now it is full of white hair, and the two dare not recognize him.

    Song Zhaodi pushed him. He took two steps forward, opened his mouth, and wanted to say a lot, but in the end it all turned into a voice: "Grandpa."

    "Grandpa." Gengsheng shouted.

    Elder Qi didn't dare to recognize it, the two grandsons in his memory were still small, but now they have grown up and grown up, they are all taller than him, and couldn't help wiping away the tears that I don't know when: "Ok, hurry, hurry into the house, enter the house and say."

    Song Zhaodi did not move: "Uncle Qi, are these your relatives?"

    "Huh?" Qi Lao looked back and remembered, "No, it's a neighbor."

    Zhong Jianguo asked: "What should I call you?"

    "Call me whatever you want." The middle-aged man who was almost blinded by a group of teenagers laughed, "My surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Ping'an. You can call me Lao Xiao."

    Song Zhaodi did not shout, but pushed her to rehabilitate: "Shout out."

    "Uncle Xiao."

    Xiao Ping'an saw Song Zhaodi's little gesture, and was happy and interesting: "Rebirth, it's hot outside, come in quickly."

    "Yes, let's go in." The others quickly followed.

    Elder Qi nodded at everyone, and walked in with Zhong Jianguo's arm.

    In a short while, all the Qi family members entered.

    Xiao Ping'an looked at the closed door and couldn't help sighing: "I thought the two children were as thin as ghosts, but I didn't expect them to be stronger than our children."

    "Isn't that so." One of them said, and couldn't help smacking his tongue, "Seven big boys, my God, that Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi, their names sound quite tacky, I didn't expect them."

    Xiao Ping'an nodded: "You can't look like a person."
