Stepmother

    The eldest sister in the forest followed Song Zhaodi's words and asked, "I heard from my mother that you have adopted two more children?"

    "Again?" Song Zhaodi wondered, "Our family adopted self-reliance and rejuvenation, there is no more." Turning to Chen's words, "sister-in-law listened to who? Such an unreliable thing ."

    Sister Chen coughed and said to her daughter, "I'm talking about self-reliance and rebirth."

    "Both of them have been here for more than two years." Song Zhaodi glanced at her, turned her head and found that the second and third sisters in the forest were still twenty or thirty meters away from her, and said with a smile, "You two The family has to cook two tables of dishes today."

    Sister Chen's eyes rolled: "Speaking of the table, Xiao Song, I wanted to tell you just now, can you lend us that long table in your house, anyway, your house is also today. There are no guests."

    Song Zhaodi really wanted to slap herself, without going through her brain: "Yes, yes, but you have to ask a few children."

    "Ask the child?" Lin Zhong's eldest sister was surprised, "This trivial matter still requires the child's consent?"

    Song Zhaodi: "I didn't need it. Today is a bit special. The table is full of children's workbooks, and Erwa was lying on the table just now to write." After speaking, she patted Erwa's little head, "Erwa, are the words ready?"

    "It's early." Zhong Erwa blurted out, "Mother, I'm going to write."

    Song Zhaodi nodded: "Go." Hearing the footsteps and seeing the two sisters in the forest approaching, he deliberately pretended to just remember, "By the way, sister-in-law, you were not before. But we have made a few beds in our house, don't we have a place to put them? Jianguo and I have set up the beds, let's go to my house to have a look."

    "Another day." Lin Zhong's eldest sister was holding the child in her words, and the child moved around, distracting her attention, and she didn't find Chen's expression unnatural, Song Zhaodi was a little speechless Looking for words, "Today is not suitable."

    Song Zhaodi said with a smile: "What is suitable or not, we are all neighbors." Pointing to the second and third brother-in-law in the forest, "Tell them to take their things home first, you come to us Let's take a look at home. The bunk bed was made by Big Baby's dad."

    "Bunk bed?" Sister Chen was surprised, "What kind of bunk bed?"

    Song Zhaodi opened all the doors: "I can't tell, just look and see."

    Erwa ran into the house and did not do her homework, but went upstairs to report a letter.

    The brothers threw the storybook into the utility room, then crowded into Zhong Jianguo's room, lying on the window and looking out.

    Dawa saw that Song Zhaodi brought her mother and sister in the forest, and she wondered: "Why did mother bring them to our house?"

    "Mother must have her reasons for doing this." Gengsheng said, "Let's act by chance."

    Zhong Dawa pointed to her mouth: "I haven't finished the candy in my mouth."

    "Continue to eat before you finish." Gengsheng said, "I didn't let you spit it out."

    The big baby pointed at the children who had already walked into the courtyard: "What if they care what we want?"

    Think about it again: "There's a mother here."

     Now, fold it for him." After speaking, he ran outside. Running to the stairs, Song Zhaodi came up.

    Erwa subconsciously shouted: "Mother."

    "Aren't you doing your homework down there?" Song Zhaodi asked knowingly, "Why did you come upstairs?"

    Erwa said "ah", "I, I—"

    "He came to tell us to do homework." Gengsheng interrupted Erwa, but he wanted to know how his mother was angry with Sister Chen, so he took Erwa back a few steps and asked Lin's mother A few come up first.

    Song Zhaodi stared at several children: "I also drank the malted milk essence and ate candy, let's go and do my homework."

    Suddenly thinking that his mother told them to take Jiao Ye and Sazi out to show off, he tried to say, "I forgot, I haven't eaten yet." Take a look at Song Zhaodi.

    Song Zhaodi smiled: "Go and eat."

    Gengsheng turned around and walked to his parents' room, avoiding everyone's attention, took out a toffee from his pocket, peeled it and walked out, "Mother, this big white rabbit candy is delicious, in the future Buy them all, don't buy that kind of hard candy."

    Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows, this son is going to be a fine man.

    "Don't eat it yourself, get some for your younger brothers." Song Zhaodi said, pointing to a few nephews in the forest.

    Sister Chen got used to being polite and said subconsciously, "No, no."

    Song Zhaodi suddenly realized: "Look at my memory, I forgot that my sister-in-law bought it at home." Without waiting for Sister-in-law Chen to explain, she said to several sisters in Lin Zhong, "Let's go to Hangzhou together a few days earlier. Cheng, your mother said it's New Year's, and you all came back. You bought too little to share with your grandchildren. You bought five catties of big white rabbit toffee at once.

    "I said it's not good for a child to eat too much sugar, so I advised her to buy less. Your mother told me that the toffee is condensed milk, which is boiled from milk, and a child eats three candies is equivalent to drinking a cup Milk. If I knew it was like this, I should have bought more."

    It is true that Mrs. Chen bought toffee, but only two kilograms. I still heard Song Zhaodi say that the Big White Rabbit Toffee is condensed milk, so she bought it. Song Zhaodi didn't care about this. Before Sister Chen could react, she continued: "Also, your mother went to the non-staple food factory to buy four or five catties of pork the day before yesterday, and just kept it for you to eat today."

    Sister Chen's face changed suddenly.

    The eldest sister in the forest quickly asked: "Really? Mom."

    "I can still lie and lie to you." Song Zhaodi laughed, "I was right in front of your mother when she bought pork. I had no guests at my house, so I bought two catties of meat. I ate it yesterday. One catty, eat another catty today, and the year is over." Saying that, he pushed open the children's door, "Come in and have a look, sister-in-law, don't be stunned, this is the bed you saw the other day. "

    The second and third sisters in the forest looked at Chen's face and wanted to ask her what was wrong. However, before he could say anything, he was attracted by the bunk bed.

    The eldest sister in the forest could not help but walk to the bedside, touched the ladder, and said in surprise, "This bed is really clever."

    "The bed is so high that the child won't fall off at night?" Sister Chen said suddenly.

    Song Zhaodi hummed in her heart: "There is something blocking it."

      The egg that sleeps on it won't roll off. Hey, why is there a plank?"

    Song Zhaodi: "That's not a board. It's a foldable table. You turn the board over, and there are two brackets behind it."

    "It's really there." The third sister in the forest took down the wooden board and saw four legs hidden behind it, "Is it also made by Captain Zhong?"

    Song Zhaodi nodded: "Several children said that they were lying on the table doing homework and freezing their feet, sitting under the blanket and couldn't do their homework. Jianguo spent several days thinking about this kind of table."

    "Captain Zhong is really amazing." Lin Zhong's second sister couldn't help but sigh, "Can you come up with such a convenient table."

    Song Zhaodi said with a smile: "The carpenters on the island can do it now. When your children grow up, ask your mother to go over and tell the carpenters that they can do better than ours."

    "Mom, go back and tell the carpenter." The elder sister in the forest pointed to her daughter, "Niuniu will go to elementary school next year."

    Sister Chen frowned: "It's still early next year."

    "Don't you know? Sister-in-law." Song Zhaodi pretended to be surprised, "When Jianguo was looking for a carpenter to make a table, a few fishermen saw it. They do. I heard that there are queues now." After a pause, "I don't know if the price will increase in a few days."

    The eldest sister in the forest quickly asked: "Why is the price still increasing?"

    "There are too many people making tables." Song Zhaodi said, "If carpenters are too busy, they have to work overtime every day, and their leaders must recruit people or give them a raise. The extra wages From where?"

    Sister Chen looked at Song Zhaodi, her eyes full of anger: "Xiao Song, you are wrong, the carpenter's salary has increased, and there are more tables sold."

    "Sister-in-law is right." Song Zhaodi was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Chen's reaction to be so quick, "I also said if. If my sister-in-law doesn't care about three cents or two cents, it's like I didn't say it."

    The eldest sister in the forest finally realized that her mother's face was wrong, and said in a roundabout way: "Thirty cents and two cents are also money. Mom, let's go and see in a few days."

    "I think you still have to make a long table. When your sisters come back, you won't have to borrow tables from everywhere." Song Zhao said.

    The three elder sisters in the forest had seen the long table of Zhong's house long ago, and felt that it was very convenient to have such a table at home. However, the three of them knew their mother better and were afraid of spending money.

    The second sister in the forest said, "It's expensive, right?"

    "It's a bit expensive for you guys." Song Zhaodi said, "It's not expensive for your dad. Your dad's salary plus military age allowance can get you 190 per month, a table What the hell. Ten tables is a drop in the bucket for your dad."

    The three sisters widened their eyes and said in unison, "One hundred nine?!"

    "Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "You don't know? Including your mother's salary, they can get two hundred and thirty-four a month." Sister Chen was not allowed to speak, and added, " You grow so many vegetables in your yard, and you don't have to buy vegetables all year round. Your parents can save at least 200 yuan a month.

    "Two hundred a month is two thousand four a year." Turning to Sister-in-law Chen, his face was full of envy, "My salary and Jianguo's wages are not low. There are dozens of dollars left. A year is not as much as your mother's leftover a month. "

    "Mom, when we grow up, you can save two hundred yuan a month."

    Song Zhaodi is happy, this son is not in vain. Just as he was about to speak, the self-ringing bell in the living room rang: "It's eleven o'clock? Sister-in-law, I won't leave you. Jianguo will be back later, and I have to cook too."

    Sister Chen turned around and left.

    Song Zhaodi greeted: "Sister-in-law, slow down. If you go to make a table for a few grandsons and tell the carpenter that you are a neighbor of Jianguo, their leaders may give you something cheaper."

    "Thank you, Teacher Song." The three sisters in Lin Zhong were very embarrassed when they saw their mother running downstairs. "My mother may be in a hurry to go back to cook."

    Song Zhaodi waved her hand: "Don't explain. I know, it must be your mother who thinks I have told about your father's salary. I thought you knew it, but I saw your reaction just now that you don't know. Know."

    "My mother keeps telling us that my dad gets 100 yuan a month, and she gets 20 yuan a month." The third sister in the forest was a little annoyed, "Ordinary The mechanic is about 20 yuan a month, and we think 100 yuan is a lot, so we never doubt it."

    Song Zhaodi couldn't help but feel annoyed: "It's all my fault, my mouth is fast, and I often make your mother unhappy. I don't know how long she will be angry this time." After a while, "The toothpaste thing last time was fine. You ignored me for a few days."

    The eldest sister in the forest flashed a trace of discomfort: "Toothpaste?"

    "Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "Your mother said that the toothpaste I use is different. As far as I know, there is only Zhonghua toothpaste in the supply and marketing cooperative. I am afraid that she will be deceived. She said Two words from her."

    The eldest sister in the forest thought that her mother said that Song Zhaodi would show her off with a toothpaste, and she was even more uncomfortable: "That's it. I'll talk back to her, she won't be angry with you."

    "Don't say it." Song Zhaodi said, "The more you talk, the more angry your mother will be. In a few days, she will calm down and this will be over. Otherwise, your mother will be so angry that you won't do it. Dinner." After speaking, he sighed, "I must not talk about it in the future. You shouldn't be asked to come to see the bed today."

    "How much salary Uncle Lin can receive every month, can't I let several sisters know?" The rehab sitting on the bench suddenly said.
