Stepmother

    Zhong Jianguo hurriedly said: "Where is this from? I agree because the Qi family and the Xiao family are the same family, and they are about the same age, you have to admit it.

    "Secondly, the girl feels that self-reliance is good, which means that she likes to be self-reliant, and she will definitely be good at self-reliance in the future. Thirdly, you have met Xiao Ping'an a few times, and he has a good temperament. There is only one A son and a daughter, self-reliance to marry his daughter, he will really treat self-reliance as a son."

    "Elder Qi said before that the matter of you being the deputy commander is a foregone conclusion, and the appointment is delayed, do you dare to say that Mr. Xiao is not involved in this matter?" Song Zhaodi said, "There is only one Xiao Ping'an. My dear girl, she must be very delicate at home. Maybe it is so difficult to tell the difference between salt and sugar in Dalian. She is married to Zili, and she is mostly self-reliant to take care of her. I'd rather he be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

    "The last point, and the main reason, is self-reliance and smart, but he is not ruthless. If Xiao Yun and Gengsheng are in trouble a hundred years later, and he dares to divorce her, what about self-reliance? Self-reliance must be unbearable. , unless she goes too far."

    Sanwa nodded vigorously: "Mother is right. So it's better for this matter to be independent and not go on a blind date."

    "The key has now been taken away by Qi Lao." Zhong Jianguo said, "This year is 1987, the year the Great Revolution ended, Xiao Yun was nineteen years old. She was only nine years old when the Great Revolution began. During the Great Revolution, the Xiao family suffered a lot, even if Xiao Yun was a princess before, no one used to him in those ten years."

    Song Zhaodi: "Then let's leave Xiao Yun aside, why haven't you been appointed deputy commander yet?"

    Zhong Jianguo became dumb.

    Sanwa looked at Song Zhaodi and then at Zhong Jianguo: "Is the self-supporting brother married or not?"

    "I, I don't care. I can marry if I want to, and I won't marry if I don't want to." Zhong Jianguo looked into Song Zhaodi's eyes and said, "But I don't think it's okay to meet. Elder Xiao and Elder Qi He is an old comrade-in-arms, and they all live in Ziteng Courtyard, and they are half a neighbor. They can't see him when they look down, and the faces of the two families who are too stiff are not good-looking."

    Song Zhaodi: "Then this matter can be placed after appointing you as the deputy commander, why not bring it up at this juncture?"

    Zhenxing frowned and thought deeply: "According to Uncle's meaning, it's not good to mention it now, and it will be even worse to mention it later. Then, why didn't Elder Xiao mention it earlier?"

    "This has to wait for Zili." Seeing Song Zhaodi, Zhong Jianguo fell silent, "Zili went to see him, and Mr. Qi will definitely tell him the truth. In fact, I think that when Zili agreed at the beginning, Mr. Qi And tell him the truth."

    Sanwa frowned: "You blame Zili brother for telling Grandpa Qi to ask mother first?"

    "When did I blame myself for being self-reliant?" Zhong Jianguo's head hurts, "Don't make trouble."

    Song Zhaodi glanced at Zhong Jianguo: "Sanwa, go to the school with Zhenxing and Jingjing, Zhenxing, take the vegetables you bought in the morning, you can eat there."

    Zhenxing: "What about you?"

    "Don't eat." Song Zhaodi looked at Zhong Jianguo and said.

    Zhong Jianguo's head hurts even more: "If you are angry with me, you have to eat. Zhenxing, you guys cook."

    "Do it at school, don't leave it at home." Song Zhaodi said.

    Zhenxing pushed Sanwa and asked him to persuade him.

    Sanwa went around the chair and sat next to Song Zhaodi: "Mother, if you don't want to eat, we won't eat it. If you don't want to ask Dad to eat, we won't give it to him. We'll eat it upstairs when we're done. ."

    "That's right." Zhong Jianguo said, "I, let's not say one meal, even if I don't eat two meals, it's not impossible."

    Song Zhaodi: "Well, don't eat it at noon or at night."

    "...No problem." Zhong Jianguo couldn't help but glanced at the phone, prayed secretly, became self-reliant, and quickly called Dad when he saw it. Suddenly I thought, "No, what did the old man say just now? What research institute should Zili be in at this time. Where are they going to meet?"

    Song Zhaodi thought back carefully: "The old man said just now that the day they meet, I will go and see, is it possible that he brought Zili to the imperial capital?"

    "Maybe Zili will be in the imperial capital at this time." Zhong Jianguo said, "Elder Qi didn't expect Zili to be unwilling to go, nor did he expect you to disagree, so he just said that."

    Zhenxing: "I think Uncle is the truth."

    "If brother Zili is in the imperial capital, I can see that Xiao Yun later, right?" Sanwa didn't wait for his parents to speak, and said, "I'm not going to the school, I'm at home. Waiting for the call from the self-reliant brother."

    Song Zhaodi turned to him and said earnestly: "Sanwazi, open your mouth and shut up, brother, don't you feel awkward?"

    "I don't think so." Sanwa is very honest, "Wait a minute, mother, I thought of one thing, there is a phone in the dormitory of the self-supporting brother. Does it mean that I can call him later?"

    Zhong Jianguo smiled: "If the self-supporting phone can be made outside, there must be someone listening. Mr. Qi listened to your disagreement, so he hung up the phone and didn't talk nonsense with you. I guess it's hard to say too much."

    Liu Jingjing couldn't believe it: "Ziliang is Grandpa Qi's grandson, so there's no need to monitor him, right?"

    "There is more than one general Qi in the imperial capital." Song Zhaodi said, "We know that self-reliance has no outside intentions, what about others? Monitoring others will definitely monitor self-reliance, and treat them equally."

    Liu Jingjing tentatively said: "Then shall we cook here, or go back to school?"

    "Of course it's here." The kitchen here is wide and large. If you want to use a pot or a stove, you can prepare a meal in half an hour. To him, at least One hour. Zhenxing said, "I also want to know what medicine those two old men sell in the gourd."

    Zhong Jianguo waved at him, motioning him to go to the kitchen, don't let it go here.

    Zhenxing pulled Liu Jingjing and pointed to the kitchen. Then he turned around and grabbed Sanwa and took him away.

    Zhong Jianguo hoped that Zi Li could make a phone call before lunch, however, Zi Li couldn't hear it. At 12:40, the phone rang when Sanwa, Zhenxing and Liu Jingjing had all eaten.

    Zhong Jianguo got up subconsciously, noticed that the phone was right next to Song Zhaodi, and hurriedly said, "Quickly pick it up, don't let yourself be in a hurry."

    Song Zhaodi glanced at him and picked up the microphone: "Self-reliance?"

    "Mother, it's me." Self-reliance said, "Grandpa reminded me just now that Uncle Shen is several years older than Dad, and he has made a lot of contributions in the battlefield. He is also Grandpa Xiao's niece-in-law, and now he is also a certain Master."

    Song Zhaodi opened her mouth: "I, I forgot about him. Is Xiao Lao planning to transfer Shen Xuancheng back?"

    "Grandpa Xiao didn't plan to do this at the beginning." Self-reliance said, "Grandpa said, Grandpa Xiao has seen the deputy commander and knows that he is in good health, and he can work for another three or four years. He feels that there is still time. I didn't worry about it for a long time.

     "Grandpa told him a few days ago that the deputy commander's voice was not good, so Grandpa Xiao sent someone to investigate and decided to make arrangements. However, compared with Shen Xuancheng, if he ordered his father to Deputy Commander, the rest of the Xiao family will definitely disagree." Zi Li said, "Grandpa Xiao always thought I was much younger than her granddaughter.

    "Grandpa Xiao came to our side the day before yesterday, recognized me, and felt that I was not too young, so when I went back, I asked Grandpa how old I was. Grandpa said I was twenty-seven. Grandpa Xiao said he was older than his granddaughter. Three years younger, not much difference, so we arranged to meet."

    Song Zhaodi: "Where's your mother? Your grandfather is so old, so it's fine for him to call for such a thing, do you need to find you in person?"

    "I, I didn't say anything at first, so my grandfather came to me." Self-reliance secretly glanced at Qi Lao, seeing his expressionless face, he didn't dare to take another look, "I didn't know at first. The deputy commander was transferred, and I haven't contacted my grandfather for two months, so I don't know that today's matter is related to my father. I thought it was decided by the two of them chatting with each other and clapping their heads. "

    Song Zhaodi: "Then let me ask you, have you seen it?"

    "I see." Zili said, "Zitengyuan has many eyes, so I saw it outside. I just came back from outside."

    Song Zhaodi: "Did Xiao Lao tell you to marry his granddaughter?"

    "No." Zili said, "That Xiao Yun thinks that I am young and may be afraid that I am immature, so he is not satisfied with me. But Grandpa Xiao said that the two of us got along first and felt that we were not compatible with each other. It has to be played until this time next year. Also, he will tell the public tomorrow that we are about to get engaged."

    Song Zhaodi rubbed her forehead: "At the beginning, why did I introduce someone to Shen Xuancheng? I really have nothing to do."

    "Mother, don't blame yourself." Self-reliance said, "Maybe it will be a year and a half later, I want to marry, but they are not married yet."

    Song Zhaodi: "Let's not talk about Xiao Yun first, did your grandfather say why Xiao Lao did this?"

    "Grandpa Xiao is not optimistic about Uncle Shen, even if he has military merit, he never thought of helping him to the position of commander, at most deputy commander." Zili said, "But it's a coincidence. The family knows that he supports outsiders, and if they don't push their own family, they will definitely blame him. Maybe they will blame us. "

    Song Zhaodi sighed: "I blame me for this."

    "How can I blame you." Zili said, "You didn't help him introduce him back then. If Aunt Xiao married someone else, maybe that person is now the deputy commander."

    Song Zhaodi sighed deeply: "Be independent, don't force it. Otherwise, Gengsheng and Dawa will definitely find a chance to rectify the juniors of the Xiao family."

    "Mother, you are really worrying." Zi Li said with a smile, "I will go back the day after tomorrow. After ten days and a half months, the pressure will be on Xiao Yun alone. I am now I can imagine what Grandpa Xiao would say, for example, Xiao Yun, he is busy with his own work, you go see him. If you talk about it three or five times, Xiao Yun will automatically propose to break up."

    Song Zhaodi: "It's not good for you to do this. Be self-reliant and call others when you have time."

    "Mom, I'm just making an analogy." Zili said, "Don't be angry."

    Song Zhaodi: "I'm not angry, I'm just worried that Mr. Xiao threatens you."

    "Xiao Yun is willing to marry, and the people who want to marry her can line up from Jiayuguan to the Meridian Gate. Grandpa Xiao threatened Xiao Yun to get married quickly." Zili said, "You tell Dad, don't Worry, he will receive the appointment letter in ten days at most. There is no need for Grandpa Xiao to lie to me."

    Song Zhaodi held her forehead: "I see."

    "You are worried about me now, why don't you think about how to deal with Aunt Xiao looking for you." Self-reliance, "Grandpa Xiao said that his younger brother's family doesn't know that our deputy commander is retiring. It's not a small matter, and it will reach Aunt Xiao within three days."

    Song Zhaodi: "You said just now that you would be leaving the day after tomorrow. Did your grandfather ask you to accompany Xiao Yun tomorrow for a walk and let everyone know who you two are with?"

    "You are so old, why are you still so powerful." He wanted to laugh, "Grandpa did tell me on our way home."

    Song Zhaodi: "Your salary is with me, I'll call Erwa later and ask him to send you some money, you, don't be reluctant to go out tomorrow, what do you fancy? buy anything."

    "No need, mother." Zili said, "The clothes on my body are all made by Erwa, and I usually don't have the opportunity to go out. My salary for the past six months is not used much."

    Song Zhaodi: "Then take good care of yourself." Hang up the phone, grab the water glass on the table and smash Zhong Jianguo.
