Stepmother

    Self-reliance and rehabilitation are immobile.

    The second baby followed the third baby to the stairs, and found that the two new brothers did not keep up, so they went back and held one hand in hand: "Let's go."

    "The quarrel." Zi Li was very worried and reminded Erwa with a very small voice.

    Zhong Erwa looked back at Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo, and said in a normal voice, "My mother and my father are quarreling and playing every day, it's alright, don't be afraid, they will make up soon. Now." He dragged the two of them and asked, "Do you like to sleep on the upper floor or the lower floor? Let me tell you, my brother and I like to sleep on the upper floor."

    Song Zhaodi held her forehead, did this Zhong Erwa say so?

    Zhong Jianguo also wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

    "Zhao Di, listen to my explanation, I didn't mean to deceive you." Zhong Jianguo said, "I think you know, and you definitely won't agree, and I'm afraid of being blown up by you. Tell you."

    Song Zhaodi asked: "Aren't you afraid that I won't go to Shencheng?"

    "You will not have trouble with your children." Zhong Jianguo is very confident in this point, "Although the protagonists of this incident are the two children, they are innocent. I know you do not Blame them both."

    Song Zhaodi mocked: "You really know me, Zhong Jianguo."

    "We are husband and wife." Zhong Jianguo thought for a moment and sat beside Song Zhaodi, "Listen to me first, after I finish speaking, you can beat or scold as you please."

    In Xiaosong Village for more than ten days, the two brothers, Zili and Jiasheng, did not cause Song Zhaodi any trouble. The child is so sensible, and Song Zhaodi's anger has mostly disappeared: "Okay, you can talk."

    "The grandfather of these two children is Qi, one of the founding marshals." Zhong Jianguo looked outside to see if anyone came in, and when he looked back, he found that Song Zhaodi was shocked, "I just heard It was a shock at times-"

    Song Zhaodi hurriedly interrupted him: "Wait a minute, what were the original names of those two children?"

    "This, Commander Zhao didn't say it." Zhong Jianguo thought about it carefully, "At first, General Qi was only restricted from moving. At the beginning of this year, General Qi was locked up, and the aunts and uncles of the two children also followed. were sent to various places.

    "The father of the two children was forced to commit suicide by jumping off the building, and they followed their mother. Later, Old Qi's daughter-in-law separated from the Qi family, and the two children were sent back to the Qi family by his uncle. There were no adults in the family, so the two children depended on Old Qi's comrades and subordinates, as well as the neighbors on the left and right to help them secretly.

    "Commander Zhao went to the imperial capital for a meeting in July. He heard about Mrs. Qi. The two children stole out.

     "Those who take care of Qi Lao probably think that the two children are not to be feared, and they have not looked for the children if they are lost. However, Commander Zhao was still afraid of being discovered, so he sent them to look like they were with him. A family of people who have nothing to do with it. Never would have thought that that family would not be willing to support it.

    "The commander wants to hand them over to someone else, but he is afraid that the situation will happen again, and he will drive the two children crazy again, so he intends to take the children by his side." He paused and took a breath. , and then continued, "The commander sent people to check the fishermen on the island. When he saw which one was suitable, he somehow found out that you were nosy... The commander thought you were more suitable than anyone else."

    "So, the root of this matter lies with me?" Song Zhaodi pointed at herself, in disbelief.

    Zhong Jianguo nodded: "I can swear to God that everything I said is true." After a pause, "The reason why I don't tell you is because I'm afraid you won't want to, after all those two children The life experience is really troublesome, and the other thing is, I am very embarrassed. We already have three children in our family."

    Song Zhaodi snorted: "I'm afraid that my disagreement is the main reason, right?"

    "Hey, I knew you would agree." Song Zhaodi did not leave, but ran on him, Zhong Jianguo knew immediately that she agreed to take care of the two children, "Don't worry, from now on I wash the clothes, and I clean up the pots and pans."

    Song Zhaodi looked at him: "It's as if you didn't wash or clean up before."

    Zhong Jianguo choked: "Comrade Song Zhaodi, I don't need to sleep tonight, but you must save me some face, especially in front of the children."

    "You are unreliable in doing things yourself, I will save face for you, and the children will not worship you." Song Zhaodi said, "Don't believe it, on the way to Shencheng, the baby will tell you about you. Unbelievable and capricious. I taught him the words anyway, and he repeated them."

    Zhong Jianguo suddenly felt a pain in his chest: "I used to be too used to him!"

    "Speak the business." Song Zhaodi slapped him on the arm, "What's the relationship between Commander Zhao and General Qi?"

    Zhong Jianguo: "Saved the commander's life."

    "No wonder." Song Zhaodi said it, and found that it was wrong, "How do they call Commander Zhao uncle?"

    Zhong Jianguo: "The commander is ten years younger than General Qi, and he is not a peer."

    "So it is." Song Zhaodi understood, "However, they have such a relationship, why hasn't Commander Zhao been investigated?"

    Zhong Jianguo said: "That incident happened during the Anti-Japanese War. After Lao Jiang was driven out, the commander was transferred to the East China Sea Fleet. It has been nearly 30 years. Who still remembers that incident. What's more At that time, people were shot to death all the time, and maybe the people who followed General Qi at the time also died."

    "Then your commander is courageous enough." Song Zhaodi looked at Zhong Jianguo, "You are not too courageous."

    Zhong Jianguo sighed: "The commander found me and offered to give our family money, even if I knew that the two children were hot potatoes, I couldn't refuse.

    "By the way, don't let those two children go out. You can bask in the sun in the yard every day, and you will make some delicious food for the children. After the new year, they will become dark and fat, don't say commander , even if Old General Qi sees them, he may not recognize them."

    "I want to do it, but I can't buy it with money." Song Zhaodi reminded.

    Zhong Jianguo: "There was a lot of trouble two years ago. Workers didn't go to work, and farmers didn't farm. This year's situation is relatively stable. Next year, farmers will have a good harvest, and food stamps, oil stamps, and cloth stamps will increase.

    "It's really nothing to eat, so I'll give them kelp and pork bone soup and sea bass stewed tofu. Anyway, there are no tickets for these. Our salary is enough for five children to eat three meals a day."

    "What's delicious?" Zhong Dawa asked from outside.

    Song Zhaodi couldn't help but sighed, the foodie: "Ask your dad, he cooks, I'll go up and rest for a while." Without waiting for Zhong Dawa to speak, she got up and went upstairs.

    "Dad made my mother angry again?" Zhong Dawa affirmed.

    Song Zhaodi was not in front of him, Zhong Jianguo trembled: "Nonsense! Your mother doesn't cook, that's because I have done it. If you don't believe me, go to the kitchen and see for yourself."

    Zhong Dawa raised her feet and ran to the kitchen, lifted the pot on the stove, and saw a pot of scrambled eggs with shallots on the drawer, she turned and ran upstairs, shouting as she ran : "Mom, Dad ruined all the eggs in the family."

    "Zhong Dawa!" Zhong Jianguo was furious.

    Song Zhaodi walked to the stairs and asked, "What do you mean by all the scourge?"

    Zhong Jianguo stopped, took a pair of chopsticks and scrambled eggs with shallots in the kitchen, and hurriedly came back and said, "He meant I scrambled the eggs, but I didn't fry them this time. Children are talking nonsense."

    Song Zhaodi was tired: "I thought something happened. Zhong Jianguo, put the food on the table, we will go down later. Zhong Dawa, come here! Shout out and show off your loud voice, right?"

    Zhong Dawa looked back at Zhong Jianguo with a look of disbelief: "It's not bad? How is it possible."

    "Impossible." Song Zhaodi took two steps down and grabbed his arm, "It's not difficult to scramble eggs with spring onions. Come here and take out your clothes and Erwa's clothes and divide them in half. For self-reliance and rejuvenation, after the new year, I will make new ones for you."

    Zhong Dawa wanted to say no, but when she heard the new clothes, she quickly asked, "Do we have cloth tickets?"

      My dad and I don't need to add new clothes, all six cloth tickets are reserved for you to make clothes."

    Dawa is happy: "Thank you mother."

    "But you have to promise me two things." Song Zhaodi said, "First, you are not allowed to talk back to your father. Second, you can't go out to play during this time, and teach self-reliance and rehabilitation at home. The Chinese and mathematics of the grade, they will go to school with you after the year." After a pause, "Both things can be done, I will cook you at least one delicious meal every day."

    Zhong Dawa stretched out her hand: "Two meals and a deal."

    "Believe it or not, I'll beat you?" Song Zhaodi stared.

    Zhong Dawa believes: "Two meals, I'm not going anywhere."

    "Food." Song Zhaodi nodded helplessly on his forehead.

    Zhong Dawa immediately knew that he had agreed, and hugged Song Zhaodi's arm: "Mother, where do self-reliance and rehabilitation sleep?"

    "Brother, they sleep on a big bed." Zhong Erwa came out of the room, "Mom, come in quickly, they don't want to sleep on a double bunk bed."

    There are three beds in several children's rooms. When the weather is warm, the eldest baby and the second baby sleep on the bunk beds.

    Single bunk beds are not used, and over time, that bed will be used for sundries. The older baby's schoolbag, the second baby's clothes, the third baby's diaper, everything is on it anyway.

    Song Zhaodi understood why Erwa was so surprised. In his opinion, some sleep on new bunk beds.

    Self-reliance and rehabilitation choose to sleep in the old bed, Song Zhaodi is not surprised at all. The two children wandered around at a very young age. They had a place to live and some to eat. They would no longer be frozen and hungry. It was enough for them.

    Song Zhaodi went in and saw Zi Li and Rehabilitation standing beside the bed, a little helpless, she said with a smile: "Zi Li, Rehabilitation, we don't have a thick quilt anymore. Zi Li and Dawa sleep on the upper floor, Rehabilitation, The second baby and the third baby sleep on the ground floor. After a few days, it will be warmer, and you will sleep separately. "

    "Yes, I also thought of it." Zhong Dawa said, "When grandma and grandpa came, they were covered with the quilt from Grandpa Liu's house."

    Song Zhaodi: "Yes." Then, she took out all the winter clothes of Dawa and Erwa. However, the two children only have three sets, one of which is still worn by the self-reliant and reborn brothers.

    Self-reliance and self-reliance are also found. The brothers looked at each other and said on their own: "Auntie, we just need to wear our clothes."

    "No." Song Zhaodi said, "If you don't change your clothes, you will grow lice on your body." He looked around, "Give me both your thin jackets and thin cotton pants, tomorrow. I'll tear it down and make a thick set for you first."

    Erwa reminded: "Mother, two sets."

    Song Zhaodi twisted his face: "I know. I will go to the supply and marketing agency tomorrow to see if there is cotton, buy some cotton and make another set." Go down with five children. However, there was no meal.

    Pick a basket full of lettuce, Song Zhaodi fry a large pot of lettuce, and the whole family can eat.

    Zhong Jianguo was afraid that he would not have enough food, so he cooked half a pot of thick rice porridge. Even so, in the end, not only was the porridge completely drained, but lettuce and scrambled eggs with shallots were also eaten up.

    Looking at the clean plates and bowls, Zhong Jianguo was stunned for a while, then he looked at Song Zhaodi, who only had two children, how could he eat so much?

     Dawa and Erwa don't like to drink porridge, so they usually drink a bowl of porridge. Today, I saw Zili and Regenerating drinking two bowls, and they both followed suit. Seeing that several brothers had eaten so much, Sanwa was unwilling to be left behind, and desperately stuffed it into her stomach.

    Song Zhaodi wanted to stop her, for fear of being self-reliant and thinking too much about rebirth, so she let the three little cubs eat it. Seeing that Zhong Jianguo couldn't figure it out, Song Zhaodi didn't help him, but asked, "Er baby, are you full? I'll make some more if you're not full."

    Zhong Erwa covered her stomach and shook her head: "I'll do it again tomorrow, it's too supportive."

    Zhong Jianguo immediately wanted to understand the key, raised his hand and slapped Erwa: "You fool. Take a rest on the chair."

    "Mother, do me a favor." Zhong Erwa extended her hand.

    Song Zhaodi pulled him up and slapped his ass: "Let's see if you will eat so much tomorrow."

    "Don't eat, don't eat." Zhong Erwa shook her head repeatedly, lay down on the bench, and couldn't help sighing: "Comfortable."

    Sister Duan walked in and saw five children lying on the bench in a row, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

    "I ate too much." Song Zhaodi said, "One is more stupid than the other." Then he asked, "Auntie's family has a good meal?"

    Sister Duan: "Liu Ping is doing it. I suddenly thought that your house should not have a thick quilt, so I came to ask you how many quilts are still missing."

    "No need." Song Zhaodi said, "Several children sleep together."

    Zhong Dawa gently rubbed her stomach and said, "I sleep with Zili."

    "Call brother." Song Zhaodi reminded.

    Self-reliance hurriedly said, "No."

    "Whatever you want." Song Zhaodi did not intend to interfere with the children's affairs, "Auntie, is there anything else besides this?"

    Sister-in-law Duan did not avoid the child: "This is a 50 catty food stamp, you keep it." Putting the food stamp in Song Zhaodi's hand, she said, "We didn't give it."

    Song Zhaodi suddenly understood: "Okay, I'll take it. I want to buy more cotton, but I don't know if it's cheaper here or in the city. Does my aunt know?"

    "Go to the city to buy." Sister Duan said, "I'll help you watch the child, you can find someone to accompany you."

    Song Zhaodi looked at her litter of children: "No. I will get up early tomorrow morning, so I can be back at noon."

    "Yes, no." Zhong Dawa continued, "Grandma, we can take care of ourselves."

    Sister-in-law Duan was delighted: "My baby is getting more and more capable."

    "It is necessary." Zhong Dawa sat up and wanted to pat her chest, but she couldn't help but groan.

    Sister Duan was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

    "I ate too much, I got up too violently and squeezed my stomach." Song Zhaodi knew what was going on at a glance, "If you eat again in the morning, you won't have to eat it at noon or at night."

    Sister-in-law Duan suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I thought you were joking just now."

    "I just want to be joking." Song Zhaodi said angrily, "It's a pity I can't laugh, raising such a litter of fools."

    Zhong Dawa made a face at Song Zhaodi: "Not stupid at all."

    Sister-in-law Duan shook her head and laughed: "I'll go back if I'm fine, you guys should rest early."

    "Okay." Song Zhaodi sent someone to the door, watched the child wash his feet, wash his face, and chased the child upstairs, and asked, "Captain Zhong, where do you sleep at night?"

    Zhong Jianguo sighed in his heart: "A bench, a guest room, anywhere. It's okay not to sleep, as long as Teacher Xiao Song is happy."
