Stepmother

    Zhong Jianguo agreed: "That's the point."

    "Don't talk like that when they come back." Song Zhaodi said, "Otherwise, the eldest child will have to talk to you again. By the way, I'll buy some cloth later for your father. Make some outfits."

    Zhong Jianguo: "Didn't Erwa do it?"

    "Make some autumn clothes." Song Zhaodi said, "The big boys will graduate next year. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, Buddhas rely on gold clothes. Dress well and clean up, others will They will come to the door to introduce them, and they are all girls with good looks and knowledge."

    Zhong Jianguo: "Do it, do it. Marry a daughter-in-law and settle down outside, so as not to come back and make trouble."

    Song Zhaodi wanted to laugh: "They are all your sons."

    "The phone rang." Zhong Jianguo said, "I guess it's either your eldest sister or Aunt Liu."

    Song Zhaodi put down her chopsticks: "Maybe it's your eldest brother."

    "Big brother hasn't arrived at the factory at this time." Zhong Jianguo saw her pick up the microphone, "Who is it?"

    Song Zhaodi didn't answer, she shouted over there, "Auntie, is something wrong?"

    Zhong Jianguo knew who it was right away, he drank half a bowl of porridge silently, and when he saw her hanging up the phone, he asked, "What's the matter with you?"

    "Lian Lie's sister introduced a partner to Liu Wei, a teacher." Song Zhaodi said, "I was admitted to a college in 1978, and just graduated this year. Aunt Liu means, eleven During the holiday, Liu Wei took her back and asked Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu to meet."

    Zhong Jianguo hurriedly asked: "Have you met?"

    "Liu Wei is not too young. After so many years in the army and then in school, I guess he has never eaten at the same table with a woman of the same age. As long as the other party has decent facial features and is reasonable, Liu Wei will definitely be willing to .

    "Although Liu Wei looks average, but his father used to be a teacher, his brother-in-law is Lian Lie, he is also a student of the Army Academy, and he used to be a soldier before, so there is no reason for the girl with such good conditions. No. Unless you are like Sun Wanru, who is just like Sun Wanru."

    Zhong Jianguo: "11 engagement?"

    "Aunt Liu didn't say anything." Song Zhaodi said, "Please ask me to make a dress for her future daughter-in-law."

    Zhong Jianguo counted: "There are still two months."

    "It's crazy to think about my daughter-in-law." Song Zhaodi said, "I'll call and ask Liu Ping later, how tall and fat the girl is. I asked Aunt Liu, and she knew a little, medium stature , I don't know anything else."

    Zhong Jianguo frowned: "She will really find trouble for you." After a pause, "I don't believe Binhai is so big that I can't find a decent tailor."

    "She doesn't worry about what others do." Song Zhaodi said, "Liu Wei is almost thirty, and it's not easy to have a target. Just do it."

    Zhong Jianguo: "I think you are on summer vacation and have nothing to do when you are idle."

    "I have something to do." Song Zhaodi said, "I have to make shoes for you. Originally, I wanted to go back to see my mother, but it seems that I can't go back."

    Zhong Jianguo's eyelids jumped: "It's hot now, and it's easy to get heatstroke, so I'll go back after winter vacation."

    "It's such a hot day, to be honest, I don't want to go back. But my father is almost seventy, so it's rare to see him once." Song Zhaodi said, "They think that the eldest brother-in-law is busy with his head. I'm busy inside and out, and I can't move in the future. It's also the eldest sister who serves them, and the money I have saved in the past few years is also given to the eldest sister. I think next time I go, I will give them 100 yuan and leave them to buy snacks. "

    Zhong Jianguo nodded: "Give it. Your eldest sister is too good at living. It won't take too long, I will be killed by her after a year with her."

    "Hey, she also thinks that the old and the young will spend more money in the future, so they can save money." Song Zhaodi said, "Strongly say that his mother bought two homesteads in the county. , One of the pieces of land has already started to lay the foundation. When they build the house, I will ask my eldest brother-in-law to quit my job and go to the county to open a furniture store. "

    Zhong Jianguo: "He may not be willing."

    "The eldest brother-in-law is only forty-two years old. I don't think the furniture factory where they work will last ten years." Song Zhaodi said, "I was laid off at the age of fifty, and if I want to open a furniture store, I will not be able to make any money. what money.

    "When there is no furniture store in the county, open the store, find two more apprentices, work until the age of 50 and save enough money for retirement. There is another advantage to opening a store in the county. , pick up the parents, the old couple is sick, the elder brother-in-law can push them to the hospital with a scooter, and it also saves you from looking for someone to borrow a car."

    Zhong Jianguo: "I still think your eldest brother-in-law will not agree, he is used to it."

    "I also don't think he will agree." Song Zhaodi said, "But I have to remind them that if the efficiency of the factory is not good, the factory may close down."

    Zhong Jianguo: "Just tell Dali. You are a younger sister, she is an older sister, and my younger sister teaches her how to live. Your elder sister is an honest person, and she is not very comfortable."

    Song Zhaodi said she knew with an "um", and gave Zhong Jianguo the fried egg in the bowl: "You can eat it."

    "Aren't you going to eat?" Zhong Jianguo asked.

    Song Zhaodi: "It's too greasy, I don't want to eat it."

    "Do you want to take a bite if you don't want to eat it?" Zhong Jianguo couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong."

    Song Zhaodi: "Then put it down and leave me for lunch."

    "Can I still eat it at noon?" Zhong Jianguo glared at her and stuffed the egg into his mouth. "

    Song Zhaodi: "You can just buy a refrigerator."

    "I really asked about the refrigerator." Zhong Jianguo said, "I heard from others that it used to be three or four hundred, but now it's six or seven hundred, so I didn't buy it. There are more refrigerator manufacturers in this year, so let's buy them again. There's no need to spend hundreds of dollars more."

      , should you buy a TV?"

    Zhong Jianguo wondered: "Didn't you say Liu Wei bought it for you?"

    "Aunt Liu said casually, how can she take it seriously." Song Zhaodi said, "Even if Liu Wei buys it for me, when Zhenxing gets married, give him that one."

    Zhong Jianguo stood up and said, "As you say, I can deliver the TV tomorrow."

    "Then I'll wait at home tomorrow." Song Zhaodi said.

    The next afternoon, around three o'clock in the afternoon, Song Zhaodi, Mother Shen and many military relatives were enjoying the shade under the big tree, when they saw someone standing in front of her house with a big cardboard box and calling for Teacher Song.

    Song Zhaodi hurriedly walked over and asked the other party what was the matter. The man with the cardboard box said he was here to deliver the TV. The voice fell, and everyone who was enjoying the cool got up.

    Song Zhaodi wanted to laugh, a TV, what about it?

    As for! Because no one around here buys a TV.

    Xiao Xiurong originally wanted to buy it, but her daughter was young and had to eat two or three meals every night. She didn't have enough time to sleep, so naturally she was too lazy to watch TV, so she didn't buy a TV.

    Song Zhaodi pulled out a plug board and asked others to help her set up the TV. The people who thought it was too hot in the house were no longer too hot, they all crowded into the living room of Zhong's house to watch TV, The machine can only accept one station.

    In the evening, when Zhong Jianguo arrived home, he was greeted by a house of women and children.

    When everyone saw that Zhong Jianguo was back, Song Zhaodi didn't let Song Zhaodi speak, so they all found a reason to go home.

    Song Zhaodi immediately asked Zhong Jianguo to move the TV series to the living room upstairs. The next day, when someone came to watch TV again, Song Zhaodi said that the TV was upstairs.

    In August, the second floor was like an oven, and there was no fan in the living room on the second floor of Zhong's house. Song Zhaodi asked anyone to go up to see it, but no one went up. Seeing everyone like this, Song Zhaodi thinks that she will not buy a refrigerator in two years, when will Zhenxing get married, and when will their family buy a refrigerator. Otherwise, her refrigerator will become a public refrigerator.

    Unfortunately, the plan has not kept up with the changes.

    August 20th, at noon, Dawa and the others came back with a refrigerator.

    Song Zhaodi saw the self-reliance, revitalization, rehabilitation and vigorously put the refrigerator in the corner, and rubbed her eyes vigorously: "Where did you get the refrigerator?"

    "I bought it." Dawa said.

    Song Zhaodi: "Of course I know I bought it. Anyway, it won't be given to you by someone else. Let me ask you, where did you get the tickets?"

    "I didn't ask for a ticket." Da Wa said, "Someone asked us to buy it for three hundred dollars."

    Xiao Xiurong heard that the big baby got a refrigerator and came back, so she ran over with the baby and stumbled in the door: "How much?!"

    "Three hundred dollars." Dawa said, "Give it back to the boat, we came by boat."

    Xiao Xiurong said quickly: "Then buy me one, and I'll give you a ticket."

    "I don't go to Yangcheng, how can I buy it for you?" Dawa looked at her, "Speaking like a joke."

    Song Zhaodi: "A refrigerator costs 700 yuan here, and you have to have a ticket to buy it. Why should they give it to you?"

    "I am Zhong Qiang." Dawa said.

    Song Zhaodi turned vigorously: "What's going on?"

    "Mother knows to find an honest person for trial." Dawa snorted, "The plug board probably won't hold up, so you have to re-wire it, mother, don't use it for the time being."

    Song Zhaodi: "Dali, are you dumb?"

    "You ask the baby." Dali smiled.

    Song Zhaodi glared at him: "Sanwa, what's going on? If you don't tell me, I won't hurt you in the future."

    "Since I learned to walk, you don't hurt me anymore." Sanwa said, "I'm used to it."

    Song Zhaodi suddenly wanted to hit someone: "Rejuvenate!"

    "Mother, let me tell you." Erwa said, "As soon as we arrive in Yangcheng, we will go to the department store and ask how much the clothes are over there. If you ask the price, the big brother will put it in the department store. It is sold at the door of the company, and it is more expensive than others. When a man saw that the color of the clothes was good, he chose a red dress and said it was a gift for him. Big brother listened to others and asked for 20 yuan to open his mouth.

    "People don't want to buy it when they hear it's so expensive. My eldest brother said that there is only one in the whole country. The model clothes made by the designer himself are sold when no one at home wears them. People ask him which designer, He said MrZhong. He also told people that this designer had been to Cannes, which made them stunned for a while.

    "Other people saw that the logo was in English, and they were dubious. They bought one for 18 yuan. Maybe his partner liked it better, and less than an hour later, the man came back and bought two white ones. "

    Xiao Xiurong looked at the big baby: "He can do it."

    "Then what?" Song Zhaodi asked.

    Self-reliance: "The man asked Dawa if MrZhong would make men's clothes, Dawa said yes, but it would take ten days, the clock designer was not in Yangcheng.

    " Erwa took the measurements, cut the cloth in the guest house, rented a sewing machine from the tailor's shop for five yuan, made a white shirt and black trousers, and sent it to his house. Erwa received ten Yuan, and told people that the shirt is tucked inside the pants, and the belt looks good.

    "People tried it, and it was really good. They said that he had the wedding clothes, and he insisted on inviting us to dinner. The eldest child said that there are so many of us that we can eat poor him. Just ask people if they can get a refrigerator ticket. Tomorrow, he will find someone to make two clothes for him, which is considered a gift for him."

    "Then they will give you a ticket?" Xiao Xiurong didn't believe it.

    Self-reliance: "It stands to reason not to. But the man's partner especially likes the clothes made by Erwa, and also said that the red dress is reserved for the wedding. Sleeve shirts, sold to him for five yuan a piece, and kept him as a gift. He was very happy, gave us a ticket, and even found a car to help us deliver the refrigerator to the dock."

    "Dawa, I think you are more suitable for business than Erwa." Song Zhaodi said seriously.
