Stepmother

    Song Zhaodi rubbed her forehead: "You don't have to be so loud, I can hear you."

    "You still have a headache. Why do you talk about our family's affairs?" Zhong Jianguo was very angry, "From now on, I will not wash the pot and the dishes. I, I See what you can do to me!"

    The eldest child was really angry when he saw his father, and quickly said: "Dad doesn't brush me, I'll wash the pots and dishes in the future."

    "I also brush." ​​Self-reliance looked wrong, took the opportunity to stay away, and ran to the kitchen with Dawa.

    Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Are you satisfied? Captain Zhong."

    "I'm not satisfied." Zhong Jianguo said angrily, "It's not that you wash pots and dishes."

    Song Zhaodi sighed: "The mother in the forest deliberately asked me, I can't say I force you to do housework. If you say that, the people on the island will think that your wife and I are lazy, and even No laundry."

    "When you said that, did you ever think about what they would think of me?" Zhong Jianguo asked rhetorically.

    Song Zhaodi coughed and cleared her throat: "I've been saying this for more than half a year, what are others doing to you?"

    Zhong Jianguo got stuck and thought about it carefully: "Why not. Last summer, many people saw me and said, Captain Zhong, your interests are quite broad. I didn't know what it meant at the time. Just nod your head and say it's alright. Now that I think about it, they are teasing me for doing housework."

    "They tease you, and you don't understand their point, which means they can't tease you." Song Zhaodi said, "If someone asks you again tomorrow, you can say that I cook, take care of children and The class is very hard, you should help me more. People don't tell you to do housework, they will think Zhong Jianguo is a good husband. "

    Zhong Jianguo was delighted: "Don't give me the fascination soup. I believed in your nonsense too much at first, so I didn't find out in time that you were different."

    "Don't be cheap and good." Song Zhaodi gave him a white look.

    More curious: "Why can't I understand what Dad said?"

    "When I met your mother for the first time, she pretended to be a country girl for me." Zhong Jianguo said, "I subconsciously think that rural girls are hard-working, virtuous, honest and honest..."

    The whole process of his first meeting with Song Zhaodi was roughly described, and he said to a few children, "When you grow up, you must go to many places when looking for a partner. Only in many places can you discover the true face of each other. Otherwise, just like your mother showing off her power at home, I have to listen to her."

    "My mother is so good." Gengsheng said.

    Zhong Jianguo choked: "Your mother is a special case, and there will be no one in a hundred years."

    "Then Dad, you are so lucky." Reborn blurted out.

    Zhong Jianguo choked: "Reborn, do you want to be beaten too?"

     Gengsheng got up and ran to the kitchen, running and saying, "Brother, I'll help you wash the dishes."

    Song Zhaodi sat next to Zhong Jianguo: "Don't be depressed. I'll talk to those women when it's a big deal, our old Zhong, so I can sleep more in the morning, I get up before dawn to wash clothes Afraid that I would be tired, when I got home, I chopped firewood and cleaned the chicken and duck pens.

    "They are envious of me, so they will nag their men not to do housework. Their men think they are pushing things, so the couple will have to nag." Do you feel more at ease with such trivial matters as housework?

    Zhong Jianguo imagined it, it was quite comfortable: "Really?"

    "I know women best." Song Zhaodi vowed, "Just wait and see."

    Zhong Jianguo glanced at her: "You know women, but I don't know you."

    "Do you want to quarrel?" Song Zhaodi stared at him,

    Zhong Jianguo is eating quite comfortably today, but he doesn't want his standard of living to drop sharply tomorrow: "Who wants to quarrel with you? I'm discussing with you, how can I get your man's face back. Since you have an idea, there's no need to discuss it. I'll go to pour water to wash my face and feet, and go to sleep later."

    "Dad, are you arguing?" Sanwa's eyes widened, "I haven't heard enough."

    Zhong Jianguo staggered, took a deep breath, turned around and looked down at Sanwa: "Is it fun to quarrel with your mother?"

    "It's very beautiful." Sanwa said honestly, "It's like, like a chicken pecking vegetables, babbling, it's very nice."

    Zhong Jianguo stretched out his hand: "The sound of beating people is also nice, do you want to hear it?"

    "Mother..." Sanwa hurriedly got into Song Zhaodi's arms, not understanding what he said wrong, "Dad beat me."

    Song Zhaodi hugged him in her arms and pinched his little face: "You are also looking for a beating." Feeling sticky hands, she looked at the light, "Zhong Jianguo, hurry up to fetch water, three The baby's face and mouth are full of oil."

    "I have seen it." Zhong Jianguo pointed to the sleepy Erwa in the corner of the bench, "Look at his face, there are more faces than Sanwa."

    The Zhong family goes to bed more than nine o'clock every day, and it is only eight o'clock now. It stands to reason that Erwa shouldn't be sleepy.

    Song Zhaodi thought for a moment and guessed that the child was too full: "The five of them look like tigers when they eat, why don't they grow meat."

      State Road, "What's more, these children run around all day, and it's hard to get fat. However, it's much better than before."

    Song Zhaodi: "Of course. You don't even look at who their mother is."

    "It's Teacher Xiao Song, the most capable teacher Xiao Song on the island." Zhong Jianguo pouted, "Remember to clean up the guest room, your sister and your brother-in-law will be there tomorrow morning."

    Da Wa and Zi Li came out with half a bucket of dirty water and heard Zhong Jianguo's words. The big baby hurriedly asked, "Is it there in the morning?"

    "Yes." Zhong Jianguo said, "Dali and Liu Gen sleep in your room."

    Zhong Dawa said: "No problem. We'll clean up the things on the empty bed later."

    Self-reliance and Rehabilitation also went to Xiaosong Village. During their time in Xiaosong Village, Self-reliance and Rehabilitation also wore strong cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes. Not only did Dali have no opinion, but when he learned that Zi Li didn't have thick cotton shoes, he wanted to give his shoes to Zi Li.

    Zi Li had a good impression of Dali, so I worked with Dawa to drain the pot of water, washed clean, and helped Dawa make the bed together. At the end, he asked the eldest child, "There is no pillow on the bed, can we help Dali and Liu Gen make one?"

    Self-reliance's face changed slightly: "Why?"

    "You're too tall." Zhong Dawa disliked, "Sleeping with you is too crowded. Erwa is short and small, so I sleep with him."

    Self-reliant thinking that the eldest child hates him, after hearing what he said, he was speechless: "Gengsheng, Erwa and Sanwa, the three of them slept just right. I slept with them, and we were too crowded. ."

    "I'll make another bunk bed tomorrow." Zhong Jianguo came up with the second baby, "One per person, no one will squeeze anyone."

    The big baby reminded: "Who is the third baby sleeping with?"

    "Three babies sleep in this empty bed." Zhong Jianguo said.

    Zhong Sanwa said loudly: "I don't want it, I want a new bed, this is an old bed."

    Zhong Jianguo's brain hurts, and he regrets having so many children: "Then I will move this old bed into the guest room and make a bunk bed for each of you, if you want to sleep on it, sleep on it, I want to sleep under the bed, okay?"

    "Okay." Sanwa nodded, "Dad, I'm sleepy, help me undress."

    Zhong Jianguo snorted: "Tell your brother to take it off for you." He took off Erwa's shoes and cotton-padded clothes, tucked the child into the bed, and dragged Song Zhaodi back to the room. It doesn't matter how the kids sleep tonight.

    There will be a new bed in a few days, and the big baby no longer dislikes the self-reliance of sharing the bed with him for more than a year.

    The next morning, before Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo got up, they heard the door slamming.

    Zhong Jianguo opened the door and saw that the baby was well-dressed, her head hurts again: "It's only six o'clock, what are you doing up so early?"

    "Let's eat." Zhong Dawa said, "Have a good meal, let's go to the dock to pick up Dali and Liu Gen."

    Zhong Jianguo was full of powerlessness: "Even if they catch the earliest train, they will arrive at our side at eleven o'clock."

    "That's it." Zhong Dawa's eyes rolled, "Then I'll go to sleep again."

    Zhong Jianguo couldn't sleep, so he went back to the house and put on his clothes. Seeing Song Zhaodi's eyes open, "Get up too." After a pause, he couldn't help but say, "Zhong Dawa is a skinny child, why is he not half sensible when he was a child? ."

     ."

    Zhong Jianguo snorted: "It's as if I didn't bring the foot wash last night to you. By the way, didn't you think the tea I brought back was not very good? Let’s cook tea eggs today. If your elder sister’s family comes early, eat some eggs first, and then cook until noon.”

    "I've been wanting to boil tea eggs for a long time." Song Zhaodi said, "You said that the tea was made by the new guards, so I don't have the nerve to mention it. How is that little Guo?"

    Zhong Jianguo: "These people around us have been carefully selected, and we can't go wrong." After speaking, he yawned, "I'm going to do the laundry, sober and sober."

    Song Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, realizing what he said, she couldn't help crying.

    In the kitchen, Song Zhaodi turned on the stove and boiled tea eggs. Then he went out to wash up, saw Zhong Jianguo really washing clothes, and walked up to him, "Comrade Zhong, what do you think of me opening the door of our house?"

    "Not so good." Zhong Jianguo glared at her, "Do you really want everyone to see me doing laundry early in the morning? It's dawn, stop dreaming."

    Song Zhaodi tutted, "Stingy." He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then sang, "The birds on the trees are in pairs, the green waters and green hills have smiling faces...You plow the fields and let me weave Bu, you bring water to me to water the garden—"

    "Does Teacher Song still sing opera?"

    Song Zhaodi turned around and saw Sister Chen in the yard next door, and said with a smile, "No, she's not on the tune, she sings nonsense. Why is Sister Chen up so early today?"

    "Get up to do the laundry, and you have to cook later." Sister Chen sighed, "I have worked hard all my life, and I can't compare with you, Teacher Song. You wake up a little earlier and a little later. It doesn't matter, if you don't do it, Captain Zhong will do it."

    Zhong Jianguo's hand paused and pricked up his ears to listen.

    "Yes." Song Zhaodi looked back at Zhong Jianguo and said with emotion, "If I can marry Jianguo in this life, I must have saved the people of the world in my last life."
