Stepmother

    Zhong Jianguo reminded her: "Those children who went to school outside have come back. When you were in the imperial capital, people came to look for Dawa every day. Now that Dawa is back, he can still be let go. Maybe you won't come back for dinner tonight."

    "Listen to what Master Zhong said, the eldest child is the king of children." Pei Yuling said.

    Zhong Jianguo first talked about the "homework book incident", and then said: "Those children who are admitted to school almost always ask the big baby for the homework book."

    "No wonder." Pei Yuling said, "However, your eldest child has to have a good temper. If you change his temper, people will not come to play with him."

    Song Zhaodi: "He likes to play, and he used to lead a group of children crazy every time he was on holiday. People who just moved in would detour when they meet them."

    "Why is this?" Xiao Xiurong was curious.

    Song Zhaodi: "We used to have a few geese at home, and I told them that we can go out to play, but we have to go to the mountain to dig some wild vegetables to feed the geese. There are seven boys in our family, each with a hoe. , followed by a dozen or so children, and people who didn't know the truth thought they were going to fight."

    Pei Yuling imagine: "It's quite scary."

    "Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "Jianguo, go and see where they have gone, if you can't come back to eat. If you don't come back, you won't be cooking for them."

    Five boys are at home, and they need to fry two more pots of cooking. Zhong Jianguo really had to find them. About half an hour later, Zhong Jianguo came back and told Song Zhaodi that there was no need to cook their meal, and he would not come back to eat.

    Song Zhaodi was curious: "Who is eating at?"

    "In the Qu's house." Zhong Jianguo said, "I heard what Sanwa said that the Chu family would also cook a few dishes and bring them over. When I arrived at the Qu's house, there must be a dozen or so in the house. Sanwa and the others are eating Qu Zhuangzhuang's **** fried little yellow croaker in the main room. One by one, they are full of oil."

    Pei Yuling: "Then I will cook with Teacher Song."

    "I, I set fire." Xiao Xiurong followed.

    Zhong Jianguo's cooking is really not delicious, and Zhong Jianguo is not allowed to cook, and it is not good for Zhong Jianguo to chat with the two women, so Song Zhaodi was not polite to her aunt and sister-in-law.

    It is cold in winter, and the rice for lunch, Song Zhaodi plans to make something warm, ask the two for their opinions, and eat noodles at night.

    Song Zhaodi was not idle during the meeting, chatting with Xiao's auntie and Qi's family affairs. Xiao Xiurong was very curious about this, and when Song Zhaodi took the initiative to mention it, she asked, "I heard from my father that the Wu family and Shi family later sent people to look for independence and rejuvenation, but they couldn't find a shadow for many days. Where did you hide them at that time? already?"

      Think about it." Let's talk about the process of her self-reliance and rehabilitation. "It was summer when they disappeared, and it was winter when they came to our house. The time was not right. Someone told the Shi family, and they probably wouldn't believe it."

    Pei Yuling: "Don't talk about them. The old man always knew that he was independent and more active, but he never thought that they were on the same island. He always thought they were in the countryside.

    "Last year, the old man heard from Uncle Qi that he was self-reliant and reborn to stay here to take the college entrance examination. He also suggested Uncle Qi to take the two children to the Imperial Capital, and the result was better than the children in our courtyard. .

    "You don't know, Xiao Song, Qi Mingwei and Qi Mingli asked each other a few days ago, hey, how many exams did your children take? Before anyone could say, they said they were self-reliant and reborn to go to the military. University, one goes to Imperial University."

    Song Zhaodi was curious: "Did they ask you again?"

    "I'm busy with work, and they usually don't see me." Pei Yuling said, "I heard what others said. By the way, I also heard that there are many college students on the island this year. Teacher Song, you all How did you teach it?"

    Song Zhaodi told her about the arrival of the principal of Imperial College, and then said: "If you have children in high school, you can urge the publishing house to quickly print the book edited by the principal and the others. "

    "What do you mean if they can do well in the test, just do more questions?" Pei Yuling asked.

    Song Zhaodi said with a smile: "You have to have a smart head. Just kidding, joking, and doing more questions is to master the knowledge in the textbook. For example, in mathematics, you need to think about which formulas you use for each question. , that's only useful. I can't guarantee other things, with the books edited by the principal and the others, at least 30 to 50 points can be improved. "

    "Three to fifty points?" Xiao Xiurong widened her eyes, "According to you, if I study for half a year before the college entrance examination, can I be admitted to the undergraduate degree?"

    Song Zhaodi nodded: "If you understand all the questions above, you will definitely pass the test."

      , that girl doesn't want to, so she will make trouble with her mother when she mentions it."

    Pei Yuling: "I'll tell you when I go back."

    Song Zhaodi felt that the noodles were almost ready, so she started rolling the noodles. Then fry four more eggs, one for each person.

    Seeing her action, Pei Yuling hurriedly said, "Stop frying the eggs, save it for Sanwa and the others."

    "Our family has a lot of eggs." Song Zhaodi said, "It turned out that there were more than ten hens, and one person had two eggs every day. When the big baby went to school, we were afraid that there would be too many eggs to finish. In August When I was fifteen, I killed two more. By the way, when you leave, I will bring you some salted eggs and salted duck eggs. We have two jars of salted eggs, and there must be more than 200."

    Pei Yuling opened her eyes wide: "So many, how do you eat?"

    "Sister-in-law, there are nine people in their family. They have not returned from self-reliance and rehabilitation, and there are seven more." Xiao Xiurong said, "one per person a day. When school starts, it should be almost enough to eat."

    Song Zhaodi said with a smile: "Yes. However, eating too much salt is not good for your health. We eat it every other day, and this time we don't salt it after eating. Several children are tired of eating. "

    "There is nothing to eat except eggs." Pei Yuling said, "I heard from the old man one day that cloth tickets and meat tickets will be abolished in a few days. Well. Better than eating greens all day."

    Song Zhaodi: "Salted eggs are not as good as salted duck eggs. If they want to eat them, I will pickle some duck eggs."

    "Hey, why aren't you excited?" Pei Yuling frowned, "I told my mother-in-law about this, and she almost jumped for joy."

    Song Zhaodi said with a smile: "We knew that we were not far from abolishing those votes when we saw 'internal reform and opening to the outside world' in the newspaper."

    "Just based on this, you can see it?" Pei Yuling didn't believe it.

    Song Zhaodi nodded: "The factory has resumed production, what can the internal reform reform? It must be the livelihood of the people."

    "My God." Pei Yuling looked her up and down, "When I heard the old man say that those messy votes would be abolished, I also asked why. If the old man knew that you thought so, I guess I wish you were his daughter-in-law."

    Song Zhaodi laughed: "Zhong Jianguo also saw it."

    "Your Master Zhong looks unusual." Pei Yuling blurted out.

    Song Zhaodi laughed dumbly: "It has nothing to do with personal ability."

    "I didn't mean that." Pei Yuling said, "I mean, Master Zhong is different just by looking at people. It's normal to be able to guess what others can't guess."

    Song Zhaodi: "I'm still different."

    "You too." Pei Yuling said, "Ordinary people, no, ordinary people wouldn't dare to marry a man with three children, but you dare."

    Song Zhaodi: "I also want his life." After a pause, "I know that Zhong Jianguo is a college student. As long as he doesn't make mistakes of principle, the future will definitely be very unusual."

    "You still see the long-term." Pei Yuling nodded, "When I married Lao Xiao, I was actually interested in their family life. I was suppressed in my early years, and I regret it. Fortunately, I gritted my teeth and endured it. coming."

    Song Zhaodi: "If that woman can be like you, grit her teeth and survive, how can I do anything."

    "That woman?" When Pei Yuling asked, she thought of who she was talking about, "Relying on his own father is a talent. When we married that woman, our little sisters envied her. Now, Although no one dared to say it, I knew that she was treated as a joke."

    Song Zhaodi was very curious: "How ugly is Wu Bozong?"

    "Compared to him, Shen Xuancheng can be said to be dignified." Pei Yuling said.

    Song Zhaodi didn't want to laugh, but she couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Then how could she be so rude?"

    "We are also curious." Pei Yuling smiled.

    Song Zhaodi put the lettuce in the pot: "Don't talk about her, let's eat."

    The next morning, Song Zhaodi kicked out the five children and went to call Shen Xuancheng next door. When Shen Xuancheng arrived at Zhong's house, Pei Yuling pointed upstairs: "Xiurong is upstairs."

    "Oh, good." Shen Xuancheng hurried upstairs.

    Pei Yuling has a watch, so she didn't see him come down for a while, she looked at the time subconsciously, and after another twenty minutes, the two of them didn't come down, so she couldn't help asking: "What are they talking about? Talking for so long."

    Pei Yuling: "There are vegetables in the yard, just make some. We will go back in the afternoon."

    "You can, but the boys in our family don't want it." Song Zhaodi laughed, "If the eldest child knows how to stir-fry green vegetables at noon and the meal is ready, he will also have to ride a bike to buy two catties of shrimp. ."

    Pei Yuling didn't know how long they had to talk, so she was embarrassed to go upstairs: "Then let's go. Isn't it far from here?"

    "It's not far, at most ten minutes' walk." Song Zhaodi took the backpack, and when she walked outside the door, she saw Shen's mother and two granddaughters in the courtyard. Before Song Zhaodi could speak, Mother Shen asked in a low voice what was going on. Song Zhaodi walked to the Shen's house and said, "I don't know, we're still talking. Let's go buy some food first."

    Mother Shen: "Don't buy it, I'll buy it and eat it at our house."

    "I'll go to your house to eat another day. Today I'll be at our house first." Song Zhaodi was talking, and found that Shen's mother frequently looked over to her house and said with a smile, "You guys go inside the house. If they forget the time, they may have to talk until noon."

    Shen Ying persuaded: "Grandma, it's cold outside, let's go into the house."

    "Then let's go first." Mother Shen said, "Mr. Song, you must come to our house for dinner another day."

    Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Okay." He waved at her, and went to the non-staple food factory with Pei Yuling.

    After walking a long way, Pei Yuling said, "The old lady seems to be charitable."

    "The old lady is a good person." Song Zhaodi said, "The sons and daughters of my hometown are filial. If it wasn't for Sun Wanru's clamor for a divorce, the old lady would never come here. Now that I am old, I will watch it in my hometown. Don't be naughty with a few grandchildren, you don't have to do any work, just enjoy yourself."

    Pei Yuling was curious: "How do you know so clearly?"

    "The old lady came here before and talked about her hometown." Song Zhaodi said, "I haven't seen the old man again after a few years, and at first glance, I know that I haven't done heavy work."

    Pei Yuling admired: "You are really careful."

    "I didn't observe carefully." Song Zhaodi said, "You can tell whether people's life is going well or not by listening to what they say." Pointing to the house not far away, "There is a non-staple food factory. "

    The two went to the non-staple food factory to buy some fish and some shrimps and returned home, the door was the same as when they left. Song Zhaodi couldn't help but look at her watch: "It's almost two hours?"
