Stepmother

    Self-reliance and puzzled: "Then you still go?"

    "In the forest, the sea snails and crabs are said to be on the seaside, whoever picks them up." Zhong Dawa counted, "We have five people, and one person can pick up a little and make a pot, you don't want to. eat?"

    Self-reliance can't help but sigh, this foodie: "I want to eat, I'm more afraid of aunt getting angry."

    "I'm also afraid that my mother will be angry." Zhong Dawa didn't give up, "I will tell my mother to come with us tomorrow. Let's go to play now, and come with me."

    After nine o'clock, Song Zhaodi saw that the sun was rising and took out a family-sized quilt to dry. Then chop a pot of spinach, wash it, put it in the kitchen cabinet and keep it for noon to make spinach egg soup.

    Coming out of the house, Song Zhaodi realized that Zhong Jianguo had washed all the clothes and shoes at home and had nothing to do for the time being, so she put the high school textbooks she bought from the junkyard in a bag and locked it. Come to the door, carry the cloth bag to the principal's house.

    After eleven o'clock, Song Zhaodi came back from the principal's house, and before she got to the door, she saw a man and a woman sitting at the door.

    Song Zhaodi's first reaction - begging? But this guess just flashed in my head, and I also thought of the letter that was burned by the big baby and their family was about to forget.

    Probably guessing who it was, Song Zhaodi made up her mind, walked to the front and deliberately asked: "Who are you? What are you doing sitting in front of our house? Are you begging? Wait, I Go and get you two steamed buns." Open the door, go in and lock the door.

    The man and the woman were stunned, and it took a while for them to regain their senses, then stood up quickly and asked in unison, "Are you Song Zhaodi?"

    Song Zhaodi pretended to be surprised: "You know me?"

    "Of course." The man said, "I am Dawa's uncle, she is Dawa's aunt, you, you open the door first and let us in."

    Song Zhaodi looked at him with great disdain: "You say yes? I also said that I am Baihua, the mother of Dawa. Who believes?"

    The man choked.

    Song Zhaodi sneered: "I thought you were too hungry to walk, and I wanted to get you some steamed buns, but I didn't expect it to be a liar." She turned and went into the room.

    "You, don't go, who are you calling a liar?!" the woman shouted.

    Song Zhaodi stopped, and when she turned around, she found Sister Chen and Sister Duan standing under the eaves, looking over here, and immediately wanted to kick the Bai sisters and brothers to Shencheng. Unfortunately, she is Zhong Jianguo's wife and a middle school teacher. She has to be civilized and polite.

    Song Zhaodi walked back: "Of course it's you."

    The woman took a breath: "I, I am Dawa's aunt Bai Zao, he is Dawa's uncle Bai Lin, I don't believe you don't know?!"

    "I really don't know." Song Zhaodi turned to Sister-in-law Chen, "Sister-in-law, have you seen them?"

    Sister Chen waved her hand and said loudly, "I don't know."

    Song Zhaodi turned to Sister-in-law Duan again: "Auntie, they say they are Dawa's uncle and aunt. When Dawa's mother died, did you see them?"

    Sister Duan walked to the fence, stood on tiptoe and said, "When Dawa's mother died, no one came from the Bai family. I don't know if they were."

    "No one from the Bai family?" Song Zhaodi said loudly, wishing everyone would hear, "When your sister died, you didn't come, what are you doing here? Greet me and Zhong Jianguo for the New Year Who are you lying to?" His face was full of disgust, "Where should I go, don't make a fuss at our door."

    Bai Zao wanted to scold people when she opened her mouth, but the closed bamboo raft door made her realize instantly that she couldn't get in without scolding Song Zhaodi. Curse Song Zhaodi? Don't want to go in again today and in the future: "You ask Zhong Jianguo to come out, and I will tell Zhong Jianguo."

    "Yo, you even know the name of Dawa's father. It seems that you have inquired very clearly and come prepared." Song Zhaodi said with a smile, "I found out what the name of Dawa's father is. Didn't I ask about Zhong Jianguo not going home at noon and only coming back after dark?"

    Bai Zao choked: "Well, then you ask Dawa to come out."

    "Do you think Dawa still remembers who his aunt is?" Song Zhaodi asked, "If you are Dawa's aunt, think about the last time Dawa saw you."

    Bai Lin grabbed the clothes he picked up, and whispered, "When the baby was three years old."

    Song Zhaodi didn't hear it, and saw Bai Lin's mouth move from the crack of the door, but deliberately asked: "Don't you know? Then I'll give you another chance, Dawa's birthday is When?"

    "The Lantern Festival is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Bai Lin blurted out, "I remember this most clearly."

    Song Zhaodi lived a thousand sails in her previous life, and she has long learned not to be angry with strangers, but when she heard Bai Lin's words, she still couldn't help cursing: "Our eldest baby's birthday is January 11th, The three are so easy to remember, you can still remember them wrong, and they said that you are Dawa's uncle?

    Sister Duan and Sister Chen have never seen Baizao and Bailin, but their eyes are exactly the same as Baihua, slender and slender. Based on this, they can conclude that they are Baihua's brother and sister .

    Song Zhaodi is very smart, they can see it, and Song Zhaodi can definitely see it. Song Zhaodi made it clear that she didn't want to recognize it, and the two of them didn't have much to do, so they turned around and went back to the house to start cooking.

    Before Bai Lin and Bai Zao came, Bai Mu told a pair of children that Song Zhaodi was a powerful person and should be handled carefully when they arrived at Wengzhou Island. Bai Zao's original words at the time were: "No matter how powerful it is, we can't help but let us in."

    Song Zhaodi really shut them out, they were dumbfounded.

    Bai Lin looked at Bai Zao: "What should I do?"

    "You ask me, I ask who." Before dawn, Bai Zao got up and went to her parents' house. After drinking porridge at her mother's house and eating a pickle bun, I went to the wharf with Bai Lin.

    I didn't dare to stop when I got off the boat, so I bought a ticket to the island. When I landed on Wengzhou Island, I thought I could finally drink hot tea, but was fooled around by a bear child, and almost scared my soul out.

    As soon as she sat down at the door of Zhong's house, Song Zhaodi came. Bai Zao is not only tired, but also tired: "I told you before that my little sister is dead. Zhong Jianguo is too busy at home, and now the only person in charge of the Zhong family can be Song Zhaodi, we come here to find no fun. You The woman insisted that we come over, and now it's alright, we can't even get in the door."

    Bai Lin: "You didn't say that when you came."

    Bai Zao choked for a moment: "If it wasn't for my mother's insistence on coming, I wouldn't come."

    "Then you go back now?" Bai Lin said.

    Bazao choked: "I've come here, this is my nephew's house, why should I go back." After speaking, he turned and sat on the ground, "I don't believe that Zhong Jianguo won't come back today."

    Song Zhaodi plans to make spinach egg soup, add a few more eggs and duck eggs, a large bowl for one person, and eat a mixed noodle steamed bun.

    The children and Zhong Jianguo haven't come back yet. When the master comes back, Bai Lin and Bai Zao will definitely come in. Song Zhaodi didn't want to see the chickens and ducks she had worked so hard to raise, and the eggs laid by the chickens and ducks, eating into the belly of the Bai brothers and sisters.

    Thinking for a while, Song Zhaodi went to pinch a handful of green onion leaves to make a pot of spring onion scrambled eggs.

    The scrambled eggs with shallots were poured out. Song Zhaodi did not brush the pan or put oil in the pan, but poured spinach directly into it and fry a pot of spinach. Then pour two scoops of water into the earthen pot, and put the drawer into the hot steamed bun.

    When the water boils, Song Zhaodi put the spinach and spring onion scrambled eggs on the drawer to prevent the vegetables from getting cold. However, all these were done, Zhong Jianguo and several children had not come yet.

    Song Zhaodi wondered, could it be that Dawa saw two people at the door and ran to the camp to report to Zhong Jianguo?

    Zhong Dawa and her brother and brother came back and saw two people at the door. Instead of going to Zhong Jianguo, they went to Liu's house to borrow a large bench.

    Song Zhaodi heard the "dong dong" sound, subconsciously thought it was a mouse, and quickly followed the sound to find it slowly.

    "Mother, here."

    Song Zhaodi felt a sudden shock in her heart, she turned her head to look, she was so angry that she wanted to beat someone, she hurriedly opened the window and took Sanwa down: "Why are you here?"

    "Mother, we are all here." Erwa's head appeared in front of Song Zhaodi.

    There are no steel bars on the windows of Song's house, only two wooden sticks, and the child can get in by turning his side. Because of the windows of every household, the windows upstairs and downstairs are the same, Song Zhaodi didn't realize that the windows were wrong before: "Dad, is it your idea?"

    "Everyone's idea." Zhong Dawa said, "Mother, don't say anything, just pull us in, starve to death."

    Song Zhaodi hooked her head and looked outside: "Where is the bench?"

    "Grandma Liu gave it." Zhong Dawa said, "I told Grandma Liu to send it back to her in the afternoon."

    Song Zhaodi nodded his forehead: "I'm sorry!" Then he said, "Rebirth, self-reliance, you two be careful."

    "Auntie, are those two Dawa's uncle and aunt?" Zili came in and asked.

    Song Zhaodi: "It's his aunt and his uncle. Don't worry about them, I'll bring the water, you wash your hands and eat." However, when Song Zhaodi went out, she saw an extra car outside the door. The one who came out was Zhong Jianguo.

    Song Zhaodi wanted to scold people at once, but she didn't come sooner or later, but it happened when the children came in and started to eat. However, Song Zhaodi didn't open the door, but brought a basin of water into the kitchen: "Big baby, take the vegetables, stand on your own, take the steamed buns. Reborn, take the chopsticks, you go upstairs to eat."

    Zhong Dawa looked at the scrambled eggs with shallots and looked at another pot of spinach: "Mother, don't you eat scrambled eggs with shallots?"

    "I wanted to eat it, but your dad didn't come at the right time." Song Zhaodi's voice fell, and she heard Zhong Jianguo call her to open the door again, "The spinach I made was reserved for your uncle and your aunt. Your father is too blind to turn in from the side first."

    Zhong Dawa tentatively said: "Then let's go up?"

    "Go up." Song Zhaodi waved her hand and watched them go upstairs before opening the door. The door opened and he asked Zhong Jianguo, "Didn't you say you won't be back at noon? I didn't cook your meal."

    Zhong Jianguo paused for a while, this Song Zhaodi, full of nonsense: "Are you cooking?"

    "Just done." Song Zhaodi looked at Bai Lin and Bai Zao and asked deliberately, "Who are they?"

    Zhong Jianguo glanced at her, this woman? Pretend to look like: "Big baby's uncle and aunt."

    "You didn't lie?" Song Zhaodi was surprised, "Then why don't you even know the birthday of the baby?" ?"

    Zhong Jianguo frowned: "What do you mean?"

    "It's nothing." Bai Lin said quickly, "Brother-in-law, let's go first, it's not a place to talk outside."

    Song Zhaodi nodded: "Yes, go first. It saves everyone who knows that the uncle does not know his nephew's birthday." After a pause, "Those who don't know think Jianguo deliberately didn't tell you. "

    "Song Zhaodi." Zhong Jianguo frowned, almost finished, "Go and serve the rice."

    Song Zhaodi smiled: "Okay."

    Zhong Jianguo's scalp tightened, and he wanted to ask her what was wrong with her holding back. When he remembered that there were two uninvited guests, he turned his head and said, "Big sister, big brother, let's go in."

    When they got into the house, Zhong Jianguo said again: "You put your things on the chairs first, I'll go get a basin of water, wash your hands and then eat."

    "The basin is in the kitchen." Song Zhaodi's voice came out, and the wooden basin was kicked out by her.

    Bai Lin pokes Bai Zao's arm, you tell Zhong Jianguo.

    Bai Zao nodded and followed Zhong Jianguo out. Bai Lin stayed in the living room and stared at Song Zhaodi, who was busy in the kitchen.

    "Why didn't you come to wash your hands?" Zhong Jianguo put the basin beside the water well, and found that only Bai Zao came over, which was a little strange.

    Bai Zao: "He will wash it later." Afraid that Song Zhaodi would come out suddenly, Bai Zao didn't greet Zhong Jianguo and said directly, "Jian Guo, Mom asked me to ask you, it used to be a New Year's Eve. I send things to my family during the holidays, why haven't I sent them in the past two years? Did Song Zhaodi forbid you to send them?"

    Zhong Jianguo's hand paused, and then continued to press the water: "It has nothing to do with Song Zhaodi."

    "That means you don't want to send it?" Bai Zao asked.

    Zhong Jianguo twitched the corners of his mouth: "Yes."

    The jujube choked and looked at Zhong Jianguo in disbelief, how did you become like this now?

    Zhong Jianguo pretended not to see it and squatted down to wash his hands.

    Seeing that he got up to leave, Bai Zao quickly said, "Why? Mom didn't feel sorry for you. Three children were born in your family. Why didn't Mom come and stay for two or three months before going back."

    "Yes." Zhong Jianguo said, "Your words are good, then did your mother tell you that she helps me take care of the child, how much do I pay her every month? How much money did you defraud? You don't think she's sorry for me, and I don't think she's wronged her.

    "She is Baihua's parents, Baihua died because of her, I didn't settle the account with her, she came to my house again and again to find trouble, I've had enough of her. I tell you, After eating, how come you go back, I don't welcome you at home, don't wait for me to ask someone to send you back."

    Bai Zao was short of breath and widened her eyes: "You—"

    "What am I?" Zhong Jianguo said, "This is the Zhong family, not your Bai family."

    Bai Zao slammed into her head and blurted out, "You want to break up with our Bai family?"

    "Yes." Zhong Jianguo smiled, "It's rare, there is someone who understands in the Bai family." After a while, "Since you have already guessed it, then go back and tell your mother, in the future Don't come again."

    Bazao took a deep breath and suppressed her anger: "My mother is Dawa's grandmother, and I am Dawa's aunt—"

    Bai Zao didn't mention the past, Zhong Jianguo was not angry, seeing that she wanted to play the family card again, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and interrupted her: "My eldest birthday just passed her eighth birthday yesterday. , I'm not too young, and I'm sensible, I called the big baby over, if he recognizes your aunt and his grandmother, I didn't say what I said just now."

    "Dad, don't shout, I heard it." Zhong Dawa heard the quarrel, and without Song Zhaodi's permission, several children dared not go down, so they lied at the window and eavesdropped, "I don't know She, let her go."

    The jujube staggered.

    After Bai Hua died, Bai Zao and Bai Lin said they came to see the children, but they never sent a letter. Zhong Jianguo was not surprised that Dawa would say this: "Did you hear? Then go back to the house for dinner. After dinner, you can go."

      son."

    Song Zhaodi said first: "What do you mean? Bai Lin, are you here to take the three children away?"

    Bai Lin was stunned, and it took a while to react: "I, that's not what I meant."

    "Then what do you mean?" Zhong Jianguo didn't know how to answer, but Song Zhaodi reminded him, "Don't you mean to take the child back?"

    Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows: "Really? Then I'll pack the children's things."

    Bai Lin's face changed suddenly: "I don't want children, I have three or four children myself, why do I want your children."

    "No?" Song Zhaodi was disappointed, "Then why did you say that?"

    In Bai Zao's view, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. She is afraid that Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo will push the three children to the Bai family, and they will have a few more children later, so she doesn't dare to take over, so she said : "Bai Lin's meaning is for the sake of the child—"

    "For the sake of the children, I will give you a sum of money for the Bai family?" Song Zhaodi said, "Respect the two elders of the Bai family for Bai Hua? It's beautiful. The three children are Bai Hua and Zhong Jianguo. Your child, you indirectly killed Bai Hua and made the child without a mother.

    "Zhong Jianguo had to marry me. In order to marry me, Zhong Jianguo spent 200 yuan. He didn't care if you asked for the money, so you should have fun. How dare you come to ask for it? Money, who gave you the courage?"

    Bai Lin and Bai Zao were speechless.

    Zhong Jianguo really wanted to applaud her, but now is not the time: "It turns out that you are here to ask for money this time, just like the purpose of Dawa's grandmother last time."

    "No, no." Bai Lin said quickly, "I mean our family can't stop dating because the birch is gone. When the child grows up, when someone asks about his uncle or aunt, you ask What does the child say?

    "Tell people directly that I have cut off contact with my uncle's family. What will others think? They will definitely say that it was Song Zhaodi, and it is not good for her reputation."

    Song Zhaodi: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I am a stepmother. No matter how good I am to my children, others will treat me as bad for my children. Don't think about me."
