Stepmother

    Song Zhaodi looked at Zhong Jianguo and asked in a low voice, "Have they done it?"

    "Eight nines and ten." Zhong Jianguo walked outside and said with a smile, "Brother Lian, wash your hands quickly, there are thermos bottles and cold water beside the basin stand."

    Lian Lie poured some hot water, scooped half a scoop of cold water, and took a step back: "Comrade Liu Ping, you wash first."

    "You, wash it first." Liu Ping waved her hands again and again and took two steps back, "You, you are the guest."

    Song Zhaodi's eyelids jumped, she walked to the door and hooked her head to the west, and saw the back of Zhong Jianguo's head. Song Zhaodi tugged at his military uniform. Zhong Jianguo turned around and asked silently, what happened?

    Come in. Song Zhaodi winked.

    Zhong Jianguo turned around and entered the room, and asked, "What?"

    "Did Liu Ping speak just now?" Song Zhaodi asked.

    Zhong Jianguo whispered, "It's her. I thought I heard it wrong, but I know it's polite."

    "It seems that she is very satisfied with Lian Lie." Song Zhaodi said as she recalled, "Liu Ping is very good at pretending to be with the person she likes. When she was with Xiao Jin before, if she was with Xiao Jin at home Even if she is the commander's daughter, Xiao Jin would not dare to marry him."

    Dawa: "Uncle Lian, the towel that wipes your hands is on the rope. It's the white one." He waved to Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi, you two stop talking, they've washed it.

    "Sanwa, go to Head Shen's house to borrow a high bench." Song Zhaodi said, "Tell Head Shen that we need two days."

    Sanwa ran to the door, paused, glanced at Liu Ping, grinned, and then went west.

    Song Zhaodi was afraid that Liu Ping would be embarrassed, so she asked her to eat more without asking anything during the meal. After dinner, he asked Lian Lie to take her back on the grounds that it was not early.

    Twenty minutes later, Lian Lie came back.

    Song Zhaodi drove her seven sons upstairs before he came back, and only she and Zhong Jianguo were downstairs. When Lian Lie sat down, Song Zhaodi asked, "What's the situation with you two?"

    "I'll go to the hospital to get glucose in the afternoon." Lian Lie repeated the idea of ​​rehabilitating him, "Liu Ping took me there. On the way to buy glucose, I chatted with Liu Ping.

     "Liu Ping said, my accent doesn't sound like someone from here, and I haven't seen me on the island, so she asked me if I was a relative. I said it was Master Zhong's cousin, She asked if my surname was Deng."

    Song Zhaodi: "Then you say your surname is Lian?"

    "Smart." Lian Lie said, "Liu Ping said that Master Zhong has only one cousin. I said that I was indeed Master Zhong's cousin, and she came from the imperial capital, and she asked me if I was right now. single."

    Song Zhaodi choked: "You actually learned to test?"

    "She's not stupid." Zhong Jianguo said, "After graduating from junior high school, she went to a health school for a few years. Besides, she was not good enough, and the hospital had already dismissed her."

    Lian Lie smiled: "I told her yes, there are three children at home. Her face turned red all of a sudden. I probably didn't expect that I would go to the hospital to find her."

    "So you two hit it off and chatted until it was dark?" Song Zhaodi asked.

    Lian Lie waved his hand: "She is very busy with get off work, and she doesn't have time to talk to me. I waited for her to get off work, explained everything to her clearly, and then asked her if If you think I'm okay, just come to your house for dinner. If you think my family is too annoying, we will go our separate ways."

    Lian Lie shook his head: "You can't think of it, she said to think about it."

    "Consider?" Song Zhaodi's eyes widened, "It's okay, it's okay, not okay, what does she think about?"

    Lian Lie: "I told her that I am the eldest son, and now I live with my parents in the Ziteng Courtyard. Liu Ping thinks my home is a bit tall." It’s normal to be afraid of hardships and to hesitate.”

    "I really can't have too much hope for her." Song Zhaodi couldn't help rolling her eyes, "If it's someone else, I don't want to just nod my head."

    Lian Lie smiled and said, "I am relieved to see Liu Ping hesitate. It shows that she is not stupid and knows what kind of people can be provoked and what kind of people can't be touched."

    "Isn't that true?" Song Zhaodi said, "We all said at the beginning that her ex-husband had no plans, and she would marry. I guess she felt that the other party would not dare to do anything to her."

    Lian Lie smiled and said, "I took a week's leave. I was on a plane when I came. I still have a few days left. I want to stay at your house for two more days and wait for her to think about it."

    "You can stay as long as you want." Song Zhaodi said, "Anyway, my guest room is empty."

    The next day, in the morning, Lian Lie went to the hospital after having breakfast.

    Seeing him so active, Song Zhaodi was speechless and couldn't help but say to her sons, "This person won't fall in love with Liu Ping at first sight, will he?"

    "Impossible!" Gengsheng said, "I think Liu Ping has peace of mind, her family has more peace of mind than hers, and if you miss this village, there is no such person. I want to win it in one fell swoop."

    Song Zhaodi shook her head, a little speechless: "I really don't understand these people, they want to get married when they meet. People who don't know think that they can't get married or marry a daughter-in-law."

    "Mr. Song, aren't you and Master Zhong like this?" Dawa reminded her that when she talked about others, she also brought herself in.

    Song Zhaodi: "We were in a special situation at that time, and we can't compare with now."

      It's not Liu Ping, it's him."

    Song Zhaodi thought about it carefully: "It may also be because of this that he is anxious." After a while, "Liu Ping is not Lian Lie's opponent, and it will be a matter of time to win her. I have to Give your grandma Liu a call."

    "Don't say it all at once, step by step." Dawa reminded her, "Don't scare Grandma Liu."

    Song Zhaodi: "I know better than you. Just go to the non-staple food factory to buy vegetables. Come back and make meatballs for you."

    "Mung bean balls?" Da Wa said quickly, "I like to eat mung bean sprouts, but mung bean **** are the least favorite. Mother, I'll chop fish meat, let's make some fish balls."

    Song Zhaodi: "No, noodle balls."

    "Noodle balls?" Sanwa was curious, "Fry the noodles in a pot?"

    Song Zhaodi: "Didn't you guys say this morning that the steamed buns are cracked and unpalatable? I plan to soak the steamed buns until soft, add some chopped green onion, squeeze them into **** and put them in a frying pan."

    "Mother really knows how to eat." Sanwa admired it very much, so she couldn't help but ask, "Can steamed buns be made into other delicious foods?"

    Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Test your mother? Fried steamed buns, have you eaten?"

    "I have eaten fried dough sticks." Sanwa said.

    Song Zhaodi: "Dead noodles, cut into strips, fry them in a pot, and fry them like rice cakes, have you ever eaten them?"

    Sanwa swallowed and grabbed Dawa's arm: "Let's go shopping."

    "Come back and make noodles." Dawa said, "You make cakes with dead noodles, I make steamed buns with noodles, and eat fried buns and fried noodles at noon."

    Song Zhaodi smiled: "The premise is that you have to buy the vegetables."

    "Go upstairs and rest." Dawa waved at Song Zhaodi, picked up the basket, and said to her brothers and sisters, "Follow me to the non-staple food factory."

    Sanwa walked out of the door and asked, "Brother, do you want to go to the hospital?"

      This is messed up."

    Lian Lie looked at the tall, thin, white young girl in her early twenties and asked in disbelief, "You said Liu Ping asked you to tell me that I am not with her. Suitable?"

    "Yes." The girl nodded, "Liu Ping said, your family is old and young, and looking for her is to be a mother to your family. She thought about it for a long time and felt that she was incompetent."

    Lian Lie's eyes flashed: "What else?"

    "You also said that you want to find someone, just don't look for her." The girl said, frowning, "I think she is too much. I advise her to make it clear to you in person, she Said she didn't want to see you."

    Lian Lie sneered and looked at the other party with a deep meaning: "I really take myself as a character."

    "Isn't that true? I think her father is the teacher and has a high vision." The girl said, "I don't even think that her father has retired for several years. Who still remembers that there is a teacher Liu on the island? ."

      , she doesn't want to marry, I still don't want to marry."

    "Then you sit over there first, I'll come when I go, very soon." The girl ran inside after saying that.

    Lian Lie saw her walking away, so he quickly walked to the other side, stopped a male doctor and asked, "Where is Liu Ping? She is the daughter of the former Master Liu."

    "Liu Ping?" The male doctor who was about to go to the wards thought for a moment, "Liu Ping was on duty last night, so she should be sleeping in the dormitory now. When I came to work, I vaguely saw She took the lunch box and went to the dormitory." After speaking, she stopped suddenly, "Who are you? What are you looking for him for?"

    Lian Lie said, "I'm her brother."

    "Is she a cousin?" The male doctor looked at him, "I heard that Liu Ping has a brother who is Teacher Song's brother-in-law and a furniture factory worker, but I see why you don't look alike. Did the Jin family call you here?"

    Lian Lie suddenly regretted not going to the intelligence department for a few days: "Her cousin."

    "Oh, so it is." The male doctor pointed to the other side, "You go down that road and turn left a little to the dormitory."

    Lian Lie: "Thank you." He turned around and left.
