Stepmother

     Gengsheng sighed: "My mother is my mother."

    "I guessed it right." Song Zhaodi looked at him: "Don't do this again in the future."

     Gengsheng nodded, looked up to see Zhenxing and Liu Jingjing, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you back?"

    "This is my home, where will I go if I don't come back?" Zhenxing asked rhetorically.

    Reborn choked: "Of course I'll go to your little home."

    "I'll learn to knit a sweater with the teacher." Liu Jingjing was embarrassed, "I can't knit a sweater, it's getting cold, I want to make a sweater for Zhenxing."

    Reborn tutted: "It's good to have a wife."

    "You can also marry, no one will stop you." Zhenxing said.

      Great, just like Xu Wenqiang."

    "Xu Wenqiang?" Song Zhaodi frowned, "I hear this name so familiar."

    Rebirth: "The male protagonist in "Shanghai Beach". No, mother, haven't you seen it?"

     "Teacher and Uncle Zhong went out for a walk after dinner, and went to bed when they came back. They didn't watch TV." Zhenxing said, "I read the newspaper every morning."

     Gengsheng tutted: "Mother, you are only thirty-nine years old, and your routine is like ninety-three. You can't even know the most popular TV dramas nowadays. From tomorrow, no, from From now on, I'll move the TV downstairs, and we'll have dinner and watch TV at night."

    "What's a good TV show recently?" Song Zhaodi asked.

    Think about it again: "It seems to be "Four Generations Together"."

    "It was finished last month." Zhenxing said, "Jigong was playing a few days ago. It's pretty good, but it's a pity that there are only eight episodes."

    Song Zhaodi hurriedly asked: "Eight episodes? Why are there so few, why?"

    "I don't know." Zhen Xing said, "There are no new TV dramas, they are all replays of the past."

    Gengsheng wanted to curse: "Ma Zhenxing, did you do it on purpose?"

    "No, it's not my nonsense." Zhen Xing said, "If you don't believe me, move the TV down. If you can find a TV at this time, I'll call you brother."

    Liu Jingjing was curious: "Are you older than Gengsheng?"

    "Only self-reliance is older than me in our family." Zhen Xing said, "According to the ranking, he is the fourth oldest, eleven months younger than the eldest baby."

    Liu Jingjing did the math: "Then didn't he go to college at the age of sixteen?"

    "Fifteen and a half to be exact." Song Zhaodi said.

    Liu Jingjing took a look at Rehabilitation: "It's amazing."

    "You're not too bad." Gengsheng smiled, "It's just that my vision is not good, but I actually like revitalization, tsk—"

    Zhengxing couldn't help it: "I didn't offend you."

    "The baby is not at home, no one is talking to him, he doesn't speak and it's uncomfortable, you don't know him in general." Song Zhaodi said, "Jing Jing, go back and make a sweater for Zhenxing, and then Knit a scarf for him. I didn't know how to knit a sweater before, so I made cotton scarves for them. Zhenxing hasn't used a woolen scarf yet."

    Liu Jingjing sat on the other side of Song Zhaodi: "Teacher, I can't, you have to teach me from the beginning."

    Song Zhaodi nodded: "Okay."

     With a tut, she got up and walked out.

    Liu Jingjing asked in a low voice, "He won't be angry, will he?"

    "No." Song Zhaodi said, "We don't have children who are so careful. I don't know what to do when I go out."

    ZhengXing glanced at him: "Going to the vegetable field, I guess it's picking cucumbers." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of rejuvenation, and ZhenXing was curious, "Who is he talking to."

    "Go out and have a look." Song Zhaodi said, "If it's Li Lanying, call the rehabilitator in. He has run on Li Lanying several times before, and if he runs on her again, Li Lanying has to keep it in mind."

    Zhengxing went out: "It's Aunt Jiang. She is carrying a cloth bag and talking to Rehabilitation, what is she doing?"

    "It is estimated that she came to see me." Song Zhaodi said, "Her eldest has just entered junior high school, and the youngest have just entered elementary school. The grades of the three children are not very good. She said that she has to watch the children do their homework. , quit the job."

    Zhenxing turned his face and asked, "I remember she was a temporary worker?"

    "Yes. Temporary workers don't have much salary, Lu Liang's salary is high, and her family is not bad." Song Zhaodi said, "Her job was arranged by your uncle, when she plans to resign She even came to tell me specially. I told her that the child was studying very urgently, and she quit her job the next day. Maybe because of that, she thought I was easy to talk to, so she came to chat with me when I had nothing to do.”

    Zhenxing saw Jiang Xiaoqin walking this way, afraid that she would hear Song Zhaodi talking to her, so he hurriedly greeted: "Aunt Jiang, look for my teacher?" In fact, she reminded Song Zhaodi that someone was coming.

    "Gensheng said that Teacher Song is at home?" Jiang Xiaoqin asked, "Are you preparing lessons?"

    Zhengxing: "The lesson plan is ready. The teacher is knitting a sweater."

    "It's a coincidence, I also came with wool." Jiang Xiaoqin used to bring her children to her hometown in the countryside, but when she moved here in the early years, Lu Liang told her that to the east is Mr. Zhong, the husband and wife. Both are intellectuals, so Jiang Xiaoqin, who was born in a rural area and hadn't attended school for a few years, felt a little inferior. Even though he brought the best tea at home, he didn't dare to give it to Song Zhaodi.

    Later Song Zhaodi asked her if her house was cleaned up. Jiang Xiaoqin felt that if she didn't give it, the tea would not be able to go out, so she dared to give it to Song Zhaodi. The resignation, coupled with Song Zhaodi learning to knit sweaters with her, the two became familiar with each other. Jiang Xiaoqin understood that Song Zhaodi was just looking cold, but she was a good talker.

    Zhenxing smiled and said, "Then come in quickly. I'll go see what Rehabilitation is doing."

    "Rehabilitation is on vacation?" Jiang Xiaoqin asked when she entered the door.

    Song Zhaodi: "He told the leader that I was ill, and the leader asked him to come back and have a look. When I talk about this, I want to beat him, and if I want to ask for leave, I will curse me to be sick."

    "Rehabilitate, let's joke with you." Jiang Xiaoqin couldn't figure out whether what she said was true or false, "I often use this excuse, and the leaders don't believe it."

    Song Zhaodi pointed to the opposite side and motioned her to sit down: "His former leader doesn't believe it, but the current leader believes it." Without waiting for her to ask, she said, "Gensheng has been transferred here, in Zhenhai County. Government to work."

    "Zhenhai? Erwa's factory is in Zhenhai, right?" Jiang Xiaoqin asked hurriedly.

    Song Zhaodi nodded.

    Jiang Xiaoqin's eyes widened in shock: "Then, after Erwa comes back to set up a factory, no one will dare to bully him." Song Zhaodi didn't let Song Zhaodi turn back and said to herself, "That's great. ."

    "It's really good." Song Zhaodi said, "There are rehabilitated people over there, we don't go there, and those workers who build the staff dormitory don't dare to mess around."

    Jiang Xiaoqin wanted to explain that she didn't mean this, and when she heard the word "dormitory", she quickly asked, "Mr. Song, have you already found a good worker?"

    "I haven't started looking for it yet." Song Zhaodi said, "Nowadays, people with some skills are working in state-owned units, and they have retirement wages after retirement, so people don't want to go to Erwa Factory. Said, I'll go back tomorrow and go to my parents' house to recruit some people and cultivate them slowly."

    Jiang Xiaoqin: "How troublesome."

    "It's very troublesome." Song Zhaodi sighed, "It's also impossible."

    Jiang Xiaoqin tentatively said, "I know that people who can use sewing machines will be so hard to find in the future when Erwa makes clothes?"

    Seeing her like this, Song Zhaodi wanted to laugh very much: "I don't know, I haven't looked for it yet. It's mainly the people from my parents' house, who know the basics, so I can use it with confidence."

    Jiang Xiaoqin pursed her lips, hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Mr. Song is right."

    Song Zhaodi almost choked, she thought Jiang Xiaoqin's next sentence was that Lu Liang's younger brother and sister-in-law were very honest and knew how to sew. I didn't expect her, she... Song Zhaodi didn't know what to say: "I saw your brother-in-law and sister-in-law live here for a long time a few days ago. Are they looking for a job?"

    Jiang Xiaoqin shook her head subconsciously, realized what Song Zhaodi was talking about, and nodded quickly: "My husband's house has less land, and tea is not easy to sell. Seeing that the children are getting older, they need to pay for school, so they want to come here. Try it. I told them that there is no work they can do here, and they still don’t believe it.”

    Song Zhaodi wanted to laugh, but Jiang Xiaoqin was so clever that she didn't hate it: "Do they know sewing machines?"

    "Yes." Jiang Xiaoqin said, "My sister-in-law saw me using a sewing machine and insisted on learning from me. I taught her."

    Song Zhaodi: "Then at the beginning of February next year, ask her to come over. The husband and wife share a dormitory. If your sister-in-law comes by yourself, you will have to live in a group dormitory for eight people. There is another one opposite the dormitory building. Arrange the bungalows, and let the workers cook their own meals. In the future, there will be more people, and there will be canteens. The first month is thirty—"

    "Thirty?" Liu Jingjing exclaimed, "My dad has been doing it in the factory for decades, and only forty-eight yuan a month."

    Song Zhaodi: "Erwa can make clothes and has strict quality requirements. Only when the salary is high will someone help him. The factory benefits are good, and there will be bonuses at the end of the year. I think at least two people will be rewarded. monthly salary."

    "This, I'm tempted to say this." Jiang Xiaoqin felt like he was sitting on needles, "Mr. Song, I want to go back and call my brother-in-law now."

    Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "It's still early. Construction will officially start in March next year, and it's not too late to tell him about the Spring Festival."

    "Four or five months left?" Liu Jingjing calculated.

    Song Zhaodi nodded: "So I say it's too early."

    "The second baby hasn't graduated yet in March." Gengsheng reminded her, "Who will help him sell it?"

    Song Zhaodi: "In the last few months, I asked him to ask for leave. The teacher did not support him, but he had to support him. He also responded to the call of the country to set up a factory."

    "Erwa said so, the teacher didn't dare to stop him." Gengsheng said, "However, the principal will be very disappointed. The principal is very happy to learn that Erwa is my younger brother."

    Song Zhaodi: "How can the world be as it is?"

    "Mr. Song, I still want to go back." Jiang Xiaoqin said and stood up.

    Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Then go back."

    "Okay, I'll see you another day." Jiang Xiaoqin packed up her needles and needles and went home.

    Song Zhaodi turned her head and wanted to teach Liu Jingjing to knit a sweater. Seeing that she poked her hand with a needle, she pursed her lips and smiled, and yawned, "Zhenxing, I'm a little sleepy, maybe I got up too early today, you Go back with Jingjing first. Come back in the evening, I'll go upstairs to sleep for a while." He pointed at Liu Jingjing as he spoke.

    Zhengxing understood, and patted Liu Jingjing, who bowed his head and didn't know what to think: "Let's go to your place and let the teacher rest for a while."

    "Oh, good." Liu Jingjing stood up, "Teacher, I'll come and cook at five o'clock."

    Song Zhaodi waved: "Okay, let's go."

    Reborn hooked her head, watched them walk away, and asked, "Does mother have something to tell me?"

    "No." Song Zhaodi said, "It was Jingjing who had something to say to Zhenxing."

    Rehabilitation instantly understood: "How many relatives in her family want to come?"

    "Don't inquire about such trivial matters." Song Zhaodi said, "We have a big baby and a bag to inquire. However, if you say that, I really have something to ask you." Tell him about running a magazine, "Are there any of your classmates or acquaintances in the magazine office over there in the imperial capital?"

    Gengsheng shook his head and suddenly thought: "There is one, not only I know, but you also know. Uncle Lian's eldest daughter, the Chinese Department of Imperial College, was assigned to the tourism bureau's subordinate unit after graduation, the Tourism News Agency. Work.

    "Is that the girl who told you that Liu Ping is pregnant?" Song Zhaodi said, "Give me the telephone and I will call Liu Ping."

    Rehabilitation: "Liu Ping has to go to work today, don't say that wind is rain, and fight at night."

    "That's right, I'll fight at night." Song Zhaodi said, suddenly a move in her heart, "Reborn, isn't that girl about your size?"

    Gengsheng looked vigilant: "Mother, what do you mean?!"
