Chapter 17

Zhong Jianguo's hands trembled, goosebumps all over his body, and he almost put the bowl on Sanwa's face: "Song Zhaodi, can I ask who is the real you?"

Song Zhaodi: "I am the most real me now." After a pause, "You are not like this in front of your soldiers, are you? Is it different in front of Master Liu or the commander? People have many faces, don't ask again in the future. Such a stupid question."

"Are you arguing?" Zhong Dawa suddenly said.

Song Zhaodi turned to him and said with a smile, "No. We are discussing issues, and we have different opinions." Seeing that Sanwa had finished drinking the milk powder, she wanted to carry the child over, but seeing Zhong Jianguo's face full of disdain, Song Zhaodi chuckled and let him go. Eating with the child in one hand and the other.

After dinner, Song Zhaodi took Sanwa over and ordered Zhong Jianguo to wash the pots and dishes, cook porridge for Sanwa, and bathe Dawa and Erwa.

When Song Zhaodi was feeding the three babies to eat porridge, Zhong Jianguo took care of the two sons and asked, "Is there nothing to do?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi pouted in the direction of punching the well, "Sanwa's diaper hasn't been washed yet. By the way, I chopped up the firewood by the way."

Zhong Jianguo's eyes darkened, and he moved a bench to sit in front of her: "Song Zhaodi, we really need to talk."

"Okay." Song Zhaodi said, "Big baby, second baby, are you sleepy?"

Zhong Dawa: "Not sleepy."

"If you're not sleepy, go out and find your friends to play for a while." Song Zhaodi said, "Come back before eight-thirty, and I'll allow you to go out to play tomorrow."

Zhong Dawa, who hadn't been able to go out for a day, was overjoyed and ran out with the second baby, not bothering to care about what his father was talking about with his stepmother.

"I can do it by washing the pots and dishes, and I can also do it to feed the three babies." Zhong Jianguo said, "But it's too much for me to do laundry, Song Zhaodi."

Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you also wash last night?"

"That's because I understand that you are tired from the train." Zhong Jianguo said.

Song Zhaodi nodded, expressing her understanding: "Then wash your and your son's clothes. I don't need you to wash my clothes."

Zhong Jianguo choked: "I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" Song Zhaodi didn't wait for him to speak, "I take care of three children, cook three meals a day, and serve four of your grandfathers to eat and drink, and you still ask me to do laundry? Zhong Jianguo, the person who is too much is you."

Zhong Jianguo opened his mouth, and it took a while to think: "Since ancient times, men are outside, women are inside, you women should do laundry and cooking. Look at Mrs. Duan in the east and Mrs. Chen in the west, which one is not washing and cooking. Take care of the children, why can't I come to you?"

Song Zhaodi smiled slightly: "Because your three sons were not born to me."

"You—" Zhong Jianguo patted his chest vigorously, smooth, "You didn't say that last night."

Song Zhaodi: "I said I will take good care of your three children. Did the eldest child and the second child say that I was hungry for them? No. The third child drank milk powder and porridge. When his mother was there, he could eat it. So moisturizing? Certainly can't compare with now.

"Don't try to lie to me. Your grandfather ate all the eggplants you fried today. From this, I can tell that you didn't eat very well before."

"What sin did I do in my last life?" Zhong Jianguo's head hurt, "please bring a big Buddha like you."

Song Zhaodi: "It should be said how many good deeds you have done in your last life to be attracted to me."

"That's how your mother always taught you?" Zhong Jianguo didn't believe it.

Song Zhaodi: "Of course not. The day before we split the evidence, my mother told me that when you arrive at Wengzhou Island, you must take care of you, take care of several children, and don't let you worry about family affairs. But why? The three of them are with me. There is no blood relationship, and you may hate me when you grow up."

“你少强词夺理。”钟建国道，“你这个样子，别说搁保守的农村，就是嫁到大城市，你也是左邻右舍口中的懒女人，一天挨三顿揍的主儿。”

Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows: "I'm finally right. My brother-in-law came to our house and usually does the laundry and cooking. I asked her why she didn't ask my brother-in-law to do the laundry, and she actually told me that there are no gentlemen. laundry."

"Your sister is right." Zhong Jianguo said.

Song Zhaodi glanced at him: "It's a pity that the person you married is me, not my sister. I just didn't want to be as tired as her, so I chose to marry you. There's no rule, right? Zhong Jianguo, don't be wronged, I'm so good Marry you on the condition, the person who should be wronged is me."

"You don't have to be wronged." Zhong Jianguo blurted out.

Song Zhaodi: "Are you sure you want to divorce me?"

Zhong Jianguo raised his forehead sadly and sighed: "I, Zhong Jianguo, have seen people three times in my life, but they are all women. What is my life?"

"You can't blame fate." Song Zhaodi said, "You are blind."

Zhong Jian lifted his eyelids and mocked: "It's true that I'm blind. If I'm not blind, I won't be fooled by you."

"Don't sigh." Song Zhaodi said, "If you can find a stepmother like me for your three cubs, you can have fun."

"Yes, I should have fun." Zhong Jianguo looked at the pile of clothes by the water well, his forehead throbbing in pain. In the past, when Bai Hua was confinement, he didn't wash his clothes either, but his grandmother did. "The teacher actually said today that I am the son of God, and it's more or less the same as throwing it to someone else's son."

Song Zhaodi was quite surprised: "Your teacher is wise."

"Say you're fat and still breathing?" Zhong Jianguo rolled her eyes at her. "Speaking of business, the eldest and the second like you, and I don't want to help them find a mother. Tell me honestly, you are in Binhai. During the three years of college, did you do anything out of the ordinary?"

Song Zhaodi: "Does it count to find someone?"

"No." Zhong Jianguo said, "Don't try to fool me again. The above is going to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, and soon they will send someone to Binhai to check on you. If you really do something bad, tell me in advance, I'll talk to the division commander or commander."

Song Zhaodi looked at him and said, "I am a woman with three children. How can I be reused? Zhong Jianguo, are you cheating me?"

Zhong Jianguo was tired, how could this woman be so smart: "I'll give you back the sentence that there is no cure for my suspicion."

"Then you talk about how to reuse me." Song Zhaodi was not agitated.

Zhong Jianguo: "The students in the Army Children's School are all children of active servicemen. If your three years in Binhai are as clean as when you were in Xiaosong Village, you will be the only English teacher in our middle school."

"You really look down on me." Song Zhaodi was surprised. "The English teacher of the first, second and third grades? Are you planning to exhaust me."

Zhong Jianguo frowned: "Don't say it's so serious, there are only three classes in total."

"Three classes and three sets of textbooks, I have to prepare three lessons every night." Song Zhaodi said, "Zhong Jianguo, I really take over this job, you not only have to wash clothes, chop wood, but also cook, wash pots, and coax children. sleep."

Zhong Jianguo stared at her and said, "It's three classes, not thirty classes."

"Whoever you love." Song Zhaodi shrugged, "I'll quit the head office. Anyway, I left school for more than a year. I said I forgot everything I learned before, so you can't do anything to me."

Zhong Jianguo's head hurts: "You, how can you be so rascal."

"That's what I am." Song Zhaodi got up holding the three babies, and it didn't matter. "I can do it. My salary must be the same as that of the principal. Otherwise, no discussion."

Zhong Jianguo followed and stood up: "What are you going to do?"

"Go home to sleep with your son." Song Zhaodi said, "The clothes haven't been washed, the firewood hasn't been chopped yet, Zhong Jianguo, if you dare to be lazy, I won't cook tomorrow morning."

Zhong Jianguo paused: "I really owe you in my last life."

"Don't say that, this is your home." Song Zhaodi said, "I am alone, the four of you, it is really me who will suffer."

Zhong Jianguo waved his hand: "Hurry out, I have a headache when I see you now."

"I didn't see you having a headache when I was eating." Song Zhaodi turned her head and gave him a blank look, "You can check the Binhai matter, if you find out a little problem, I don't need you to send me back."

Seeing this, Zhong Jianguo felt relieved, turned around and walked to the water well. He suddenly thought that Song Zhaodi hadn't taken a bath yet, and the clothes he was wearing today had not changed at all. His face suddenly became hot, and after washing his clothes, he went to chop wood.

Master Liu heard the banging sound next door, and walked to the yard to follow the sound and looked over.

"Big Brother Zhong is not a hard worker, so he will definitely feel tired. It's just that some people don't work, and Big Brother Zhong has to do it."

Sister-in-law Duan glared at her daughter: "Stop talking nonsense. Xiao Song turned around for a long time in the morning, killed ducks in the afternoon, and repaired several children's clothes, and he didn't stop at all."

"This little Song is quite capable." Master Liu was quite surprised, "I thought she was the same as Bai Hua."

Sister-in-law Duan: "How could it be the same. Bai Hua is an intellectual in a big city, and Xiao Song is a rural person. Needless to say, his work is better than Bai Hua."

"You like Xiao Song very much?" Master Liu used to hear his wife complain that Bai Hua couldn't make a living. Song Zhaodi was able to get the protection of his wife just a day after his arrival, and Master Liu was even more surprised.

Sister-in-law Duan: "Xiao Song is a cool person, and he's still in trouble. I think it's good. I heard you say Xiao Song is a rural girl a few days ago. I thought that I didn't understand anything like me more than 20 years ago. Woolen cloth."

"The Xiao Song you mentioned is indeed different from you." Master Liu turned to his daughter, "Don't look down on Xiao Song for coming from the countryside, you have to call her Teacher Song in the future."

Sister Duan was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Song? What do you mean?"

"Xiao Song is a college student." Master Liu said.

Sister-in-law Duan exclaimed, "University students?!"

"College student? Zhong Dawa, stop bragging, your stepmother is a native woman who lays on the ground to plan food." In the open space more than 200 meters away from Duan's sister-in-law, the black and thin little boy shouted loudly, wishing everyone could hear it. .

Dawa defended loudly: "I didn't lie, my stepmother is a college student, she's very powerful. You don't know anything, so you can't say my stepmother."

"Big, college students are also black-hearted college students." The little boy felt that he was right, and nodded, "Yes, he is a black-hearted college student."

Zhong Dawa was anxious, and ran to him in three or two steps: "No!"

"That's right," the boy said, "the stepmother has a black heart."

Zhong Dawa raised his hand and pushed him: "You are the black heart. My stepmother is the best. My stepmother also cooks eggs and ducks for me."

"Zhong Dawa, the king of bragging." The little boy said, raising his hand and pushing him.

Zhong Erwa rubbed and ran over: "Hit my brother?!" She gave her a hug in the face.

The boy suddenly became anxious and slapped Erwa with a wave of his hand.

"You hit my brother?" Zhong Dawa slapped his arm and patted the little boy's hand. Erwa quickly hid behind his brother.

Song Zhaodi heard that the big baby's voice was not right. She walked over to the sound and saw the three children being torn apart. Seeing that her two cheap sons did not suffer, she took two steps back into the shadows before asking the bystanders: "Why? What's the matter?"

"It seems that the big baby is crying." Master Liu was talking to his wife and daughter about Song Zhaodi when he suddenly heard a burst of crying, and the more he heard it, the more familiar it became, "Why is the big baby crying?"

Sister-in-law Duan didn't even think about it, and blurted out, "Did the eldest child disobedient and Xiao Song beat him up?"

"Impossible." Master Liu said, "Xiao Song is an intellectual and can't beat a child. Old Duan, go and see what's going on."

Sister-in-law Duan raised her feet and walked out, took two steps and stopped: "It's not appropriate for me to go, it's better for you to go."

"Go when you tell me." Master Liu said, "You women are easy to talk to each other."

"Dad, Mom, the voice came from outside. She couldn't beat the big baby outside."

Sister-in-law Duan listened carefully, and the cry was getting closer and closer: "It is estimated that she had a fight with some child."

At the same time, Zhong Jianguo put down his axe, took a deep breath, and walked out: "There is no one to worry about. What's the matter?"

"Ma Zhenxing is a bad guy." Zhong Dawa started to complain before Zhong Jianguo came.

Zhong Jianguo: "Who asked you this, I asked you why you were fighting?"

"I didn't fight."

"Why do you cry when you didn't fight? Could it be that your stepmother beat you up?"

"No. Yes, it's a horse, Ma Zhenxing said, saying that the stepmother is dark and ugly and no one wants to marry her father." Zhong Dawa pouted, "It's obviously not."

Zhong Jianguo looked at Song Zhaodi: "You didn't get mad at the children of the Ma family, did you?"

"Am I that kind of person?" She saw the eldest child cry, so she stepped forward and pulled the three children apart. However, Song Zhaodi didn't plan to tell Zhong Jianguo about this kind of thing, "I'm your daughter-in-law, so I can't embarrass you. Just tell the big guy that it's normal for children to fight and fight, today they don't get along with each other, and tomorrow they'll be together again. Play."

Zhong Dawa wiped away her tears and said seriously, "I don't play with Ma Zhenxing."

"It's fine, don't play with him." Zhong Dawa has never fought with anyone, and for the first time since she was born, Zhong Jianguo wanted to ask, "He said that your stepmother is not wanted, so you fought with Ma Zhenxing. ?"

Zhong Dawa: "I don't have it. He said that the stepmother is black-hearted, so I beat him."

"Beating someone, you ended up crying yourself." Zhong Jianguo sighed, "You are really promising."

Song Zhaodi: "Your son thinks that the child of the Ma family is unreasonable, and the child of the Ma family cried angrily. It wasn't because Ma Zhenxing beat him."

Zhong Dawa looked at Song Zhaodi subconsciously, puzzled and surprised, but didn't say clearly, how do you know.

"I'm smart." Song Zhaodi said, "Erwa, did Ma Zhenxing's younger brother beat you?"

Zhong Erwa shook her head: "Ma Xiaoer went to rescue soldiers. Dad, I helped my brother fight Ma Xingxing."

"Erwa did the right thing." Song Zhaodi said, "Did the Ma family's second child say what kind of rescue troops to move?"

Zhong Dawa: "His father."

"Don't talk nonsense, his father Ma Zhonghua is not at home." Zhong Jianguo said.

Song Zhaodi: "That's his mother. Is Captain Zhong waiting for the Ma family in the courtyard, or is he hiding in the house?"

"You said that everything at home is up to you, and I have to go back to the house." Zhong Jianguo took Sanwa, "Second baby, follow me upstairs."

Zhong Erwa said loudly, "No, I want to wait for Ma Zhenxing here."

The four members of the Liu family who were standing beside the fence of their own house did not hear what Zhong Jianguo said and planned to go back to the house. Erwa's loud voice made the four members of the Liu family look at each other and stood upright against the wall again.

A moment later, a woman walked into Zhong's house with her two children.

Master Liu patted his wife's arm: "You go to persuade me not to quarrel."

"I can't quarrel." Sister-in-law Duan looked at the people in the next courtyard, "Ma Zhonghua's daughter-in-law is also a literate person, and literate people talk to literate people in a reasonable way."

"That's unlikely."

Sister-in-law Duan glared at her daughter and scolded in a low voice, "It's none of your business, shut up for me!"

"Dad, does your arm still hurt?"

Song Zhaodi's voice came over, and Master Liu whispered: "Don't quarrel, you two, let's see what's going on first, and we'll go back to the house if there's no big deal."

Zhong Dawa was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and wanted to say, my arm is fine. When the words reached her lips, she heard Song Zhaodi say, "Dad, don't cry, I'll ask your dad to take you to the infirmary now." Turning around and walking into the room, he suddenly stopped, pretending to have just noticed that there were two more people in the hospital. Big and small, "May I ask who you are?"

"Ma Zhenxing and his mother." Dawa turned around subconsciously and saw that the person who came came quickly reminded Song Zhaodi.

Song Zhaodi thought, I guessed as soon as they entered the door: "Ma Zhenxing? Ma mother, what's the matter with you?"

"It's something." The person came and walked over with the two children. "Your eldest child and the second child are fighting to rejuvenate one. Do you have to give us an explanation?"

Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows. People in this era are so civilized when they start their children: "Just right. Our eldest child has a rotten piece on his arm, which is said to be caught by the revitalization. Today is sultry and it is easy to get infected, so we must apply medicine. Since you are here Now, let's go to the infirmary together, you settle the money for the medicine, and then talk about why some children are fighting."

"I didn't grab Zhong Dawa's arm." Ma Zhenxing said hurriedly.

Song Zhaodi: "Then our second child didn't beat you."

"You—" The tall and thin woman choked, "everyone has seen it, don't think about—"

Song Zhaodi interrupted her: "Your son doesn't admit that Dawa's arm was scratched by him. Why can't I say that our second baby didn't do anything?"

The woman choked: "This, this is not the same thing at all."

"It's really not the same thing." Song Zhaodi said, "If you want to break it down, let's talk about why the two children started."

Zhong Dawa: "Ma Zhenxing curses people."

"Did you hear that?" Song Zhaodi asked, "It was your child who started it."

The woman said: "Then you can't beat people."

"It seems that you know what your children have said. In that case, I will greet your ancestors for the eighth generation. If you can bear it, it will be considered a big mistake today." Song Zhaodi said, "Is it pouring tea and admitting my mistake, or Kowtow to make amends, our family will admit it."

The woman choked again, took a deep look at Song Zhaodi, dragged the two children and turned away.

Zhong Dawa blinked: "Go? Just go like this?"

"Otherwise?" Song Zhaodi glanced at him. "What else do you want? You two beat someone else, and someone else is quite unreasonable. There's a lot of chatter about this. Let me go upstairs and sleep."

The brothers looked at each other, held hands, and hopped into the house.

Master Liu shook his head and laughed: "This little Song is really talented."

"Isn't the eldest child hurt?" Sister-in-law Duan caught up after realizing it.

Master Liu said as he walked, "Xiao Zhong is a child who loves children, and the older one has a wound on his arm, so he can't carry the third child upstairs."

"What is Xiao Song?" Sister-in-law Duan couldn't believe it, "Deliberately deceived Xiaoma's daughter-in-law."

Master Liu: "Listening to what Xiao Song said, the children of the Ma family must have said something ugly. For example, when Dawa's mother died, Dawa is a motherless child, which makes Dawa angry." He paused, "However, it surprised me that Xiao Song was unreasonable and unforgiving."

Sister-in-law Duan: "As I said just now, Xiao Song is not that kind of person at all."

"I know now." Master Liu glanced at the small building of Zhong's house, "This little clock, I have to talk about him well tomorrow."

Sister-in-law Duan was puzzled: "Xiao Zhong made a mistake?"

"No." Master Liu said, "I am afraid that he will make mistakes."

Having said that, Zhong Jianguo went upstairs with the three babies, afraid that Song Zhaodi would come out of his temper, so he opened the window and planned to sit by the window and stare at Song Zhaodi, but he saw four people standing by the fence of Liu's house.

Zhong Jianguo knew that it was Master Liu's family of four just by looking at the figures of the four. As soon as the Ma family left, the Liu family returned to the house, and Zhong Jianguo was immediately sure that Master Liu heard what Song Zhaodi and the Ma family said.

Master Liu has a good sense of Song Zhaodi, and Zhong Jianguo can't imagine how his teacher Ming'er will praise Song Zhaodi. However, the most important thing is not to care about these, but the son will fight.

"Old baby, second baby, do you think you are right?" Zhong Jianguo asked as soon as the two children went upstairs.

Zhong Dawa looked at the stairs subconsciously.

Zhong Jianguo has a headache. He didn't recognize his mother yesterday, but today he treats his stepmother as his own. Now the child is really fickle: "Don't look at your mother, she is packing firewood downstairs and has to take a bath. She won't be here for a while. "

"Dad, are you going to beat me?" Zhong Dawa raised her head and asked, "The stepmother didn't beat me."

Zhong Jianguo was delighted: "I'm going to become a stepfather again with co-authoring? Zhong Dawa, don't take the stepfather to talk about it. You are both wrong in this matter today. Where is the mistake, you can think for yourself."

At about 9:30, Song Zhaodi went upstairs and saw the eldest baby and the second baby standing against the wall, Zhong Jianguo sitting on the chair with the third baby in his arms, like an uncle: "What are you doing?"

"Dad said we were wrong." Zhong Dawa said, "but I can't figure it out. Dad said, if you can't figure it out, stand up and don't sleep."

Song Zhaodi didn't have a watch, but she knew that she was very grumpy in the bath, so she affirmed, "Have you been standing for a long time?"

"One hour and five minutes." Zhong Jianguo said, "Go to bed, I'll watch them."

Song Zhaodi sneered: "What are you looking at? One of them is five years old and the other is three years old. You actually asked two such children to reflect? Zhong Jianguo, ask them if they know what it means to reflect."

"What do you mean?" Zhong Dawa asked subconsciously.

Zhong Jianguo took a breath: "Yes, I'll tell them both." Hand Sanwa to Song Zhaodi, "Go back to your room and sleep."

"You don't need to remind me." Song Zhaodi hinted, "The eldest baby and the second baby are your own sons, not outsiders."

Zhong Jianguo glared at her: "I know how to educate children."

Song Zhaodi was not at ease. It's not that she doesn't trust Zhong Jianguo, but that the parents of this era firmly believe that a dutiful son will come out of a stick. But it was not easy to stand up to Zhong Jianguo in front of the child, so he closed the door and listened to what Zhong Jianguo had to say.

After a while, Song Zhaodi saw that Zhong Jianguo had no sign of doing anything, so she put down the mosquito net and put her arms around Sanwa to sleep.

The next day, Song Zhaodi opened her eyes and heard the patter outside the window, so she quickly got up and opened the window, a cool breeze hit, Song Zhaodi took a deep breath of comfort.

Putting on black pants and a gray long-sleeved shirt, Song Zhaodi walked to the living room and saw the clock on the wall pointing to seven, and hurriedly went downstairs.

Zhong Jianguo was in the kitchen, and Song Zhaodi's eyes lit up: "You can cook?"

"No." Zhong Jianguo was very honest, "I saw you cooking porridge yesterday, and I was cooking porridge. There is still half a pot of duck on the stove, and I only eat duck when I eat steamed buns in the morning."

Song Zhaodi was disappointed: "It's not good for children to eat so greasy early in the morning. I'll make a dish."

Sister-in-law Duan gave four large cucumbers, Song Zhaodi thought it was enough to make two. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Zhong Jianguo was very strong, sitting on the small bench with no place for his long legs, so he made a cucumber and knocked two more Eggs make a fried cucumber.

Five minutes later, the two dishes were on the table. Although Zhong Jianguo was angry that Song Zhaodi threatened him with children from time to time, he had to admit that the two Baihua couldn't compare with Song Zhaodi in terms of cooking.

After breakfast, Song Zhaodi saw that the rain did not stop. Even though she had no relationship with Zhong Jianguo, she couldn't help worrying: "How do you get to the camp?"

"Little Li drove to pick me up." Zhong Jianguo frowned slightly when he saw the eldest son and the second son slumped on the wooden chairs, "Get full and walk."

Song Zhaodi laughed: "I'm afraid that they will eat a small belly? The eldest baby and the second baby are thin. They eat like this every day, and they will not eat a small belly after eating for ten days and a half month."

"Did you hear that? Dad." Zhong Dawa glanced at his dad, then took off his shoes and climbed onto the bench, "Hey, what is this?"

Zhong Jianguo looked at his watch, guessing that Xiao Li would have to wait for a while, and sat back next to his son: "Where?"

"Look." Zhong Dawa pointed to her knees, "Kitten, Dad."

Zhong Jianguo took a closer look and saw the outline of a cat on the big baby's knee. Without thinking, he asked Song Zhaodi, "Did you sew it?"

"I thought the patch was too ugly, so I cut the outline of a cat with a rag head and sewed it on." Song Zhaodi said, "Can't you?"

Zhong Dawa said first: "Very good, very good. Did you sew it yesterday?"

"Yesterday afternoon, I sewed ducks." Song Zhaodi made clothes all her life in her previous life, and sticking a few small animals on the clothes was much easier than changing the clothes of the models before the event. "Erwa, you also have chickens and ducks on your clothes. Don't envy your brother."

Zhong Erwa's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course." Song Zhaodi looked at Zhong Jianguo and pointed, "I never lie."

Zhong Erwa lay down in Zhong Jianguo's arms: "Dad—"

"Change into clothes with small animals?" Zhong Jianguo said, "Just wear this one and change it tomorrow. It's hard to do laundry on a rainy day, so when you're done wearing your clothes, just wait for your butt to be bare."

Song Zhaodi agreed: "The stove is full of my brother's diapers, and there is no place to bake your clothes."

Zhong Erwa was very disappointed, and she didn't want to bare her butt, so she sat weakly beside the big baby, and stretched out her hand to hold the cat on his knee.

Zhong Jianguo turned to Song Zhaodi, you have so many tricks.

Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows, I haven't made a move yet.

"You better stop taking action." Zhong Jianguo didn't want to admit that he was cowardly, but Song Zhaodi was smart and didn't make moves according to common sense. Zhong Jianguo didn't want to fight her for the time being.

Song Zhaodi snorted: "Thank you for being the head of the regiment."

"The head of the regiment is a normal person, not like you—" Zhong Jianguo heard the sound of a car faintly, "It's probably Xiao Li here."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

As soon as Zhong Jianguo opened the umbrella, Xiao Li came to the door: "Head of the regiment, the telegram from home."

"Telegram?" Zhong Jianguo hurriedly put down his umbrella, "Whose?" After a pause, "Broken." Turning to Song Zhaodi, he gritted his teeth and said, "Which pot are you not opening and lifting."

Song Zhaodi quickly stood up: "Your stepmother?"

"My eldest brother." Zhong Jianguo opened the telegram. "The eldest brother said that the stepmother asked him when I went back to pick up the three children and when I was going to marry you. The eldest brother asked me what to do."

Song Zhaodi: "Your eldest brother hasn't told my cousin yet?"

"Let's talk about it later." Zhong Jianguo said, "I'll take a detour to buy some food, and I'll take it back when I come back in the evening. Don't go out."

Song Zhaodi nodded slightly: "Drive slowly." After sending Zhong Jianguo away, he bolted the door from the inside, and when he entered the living room, he asked, "Dad, are there any relatives from your grandma's family here?"

"My grandma's relatives?" Zhong Dawa blinked, "Is it my uncle and aunt?"

Song Zhaodi: "Other uncles or aunts, uncles, friends of your mother, classmates, whoever they are, is there anyone on this island who knows your mother and your grandma?"

"Why are you asking these?" Zhong Dawa looked vigilant and instantly turned into a little hedgehog.

The child is mentally fragile and has no mother. Song Zhaodi is too embarrassed to call him a little white-eyed wolf: "I'm afraid someone will tell your grandma that I will be your stepmother."

"Why should you be afraid?" Zhong Dawa didn't understand, "Grandma is not on the island."

Song Zhaodi: "Your mother has only been dead for a hundred days, and your father can't wait to find a stepmother for you. Your grandmother will call your father unscrupulous."

"Aunt said that my father found a stepmother for us, but we have no one to take care of. Mom was not killed by my father, nor by you. Why did my grandma scold my father?" Zhong Dawa still doesn't understand.

Song Zhaodi: "What do you think of your grandma?"

"Very bad." Zhong Dawa said, "Steal things from my house every day."

Song Zhaodi: "That's right. Your grandma is a bad person. Bad people do things no matter what they do. They do what they think, and they don't think about whether others will be angry."

"How can this be possible?" Zhong Dawa frowned, "Then what are we going to do?"

Song Zhaodi helped her forehead: "Tell me first, do you know anyone on the island who knows your grandma?"

"There is an uncle." Zhong Dawa said, "My mother said it was her brother, but my father said no, but my mother told me to call me uncle."

Song Zhaodi: "What did he call your grandma?"

"Auntie." Zhong Erwa raised her little hand, "Stepmother, I know."

Song Zhaodi's mouth twitched: "I will call my mother in the future." Immediately, she asked Zhong Dawa, "Where is that person now?"

"On the island." Zhong Dawa said, "same as my father."

Song Zhaodi's brows twitched: "Is he a regiment leader?" This is not easy.

"No." Zhong Dawa said, "It's a soldier."

Song Zhaodi nodded: "I see. Go upstairs and get the notebook and pen, and I'll write a letter." After a pause, "Dad, the letter has nothing to do with your father, can you promise me not to tell your father? ?"

"Then you have to tell me why you can't tell Dad." Zhong Dawa wanted to promise Song Zhaodi, but she felt that she shouldn't lie to Zhong Jianguo and stared at Song Zhaodi for an answer.

Song Zhaodi was not angry, but was quite happy. The cheap son was not a fool and sweetie: "Because your father is busy. It's raining so hard outside, he has to go to the camp, and when he comes back at night, he has to wash your clothes for you, so we shouldn't take it away. things bother him."

"Do you eat duck meat at noon?" Zhong Dawa asked.

Song Zhaodi was speechless, the snack foodie: "If you don't eat it, I'll make you other delicious food. I'll take it as your promise."

Zhong Dawa pursed her lips. Zhong Erwa nodded. The two brothers had a tacit understanding and did not open their mouths to say yes.

These two children thought that if they didn't speak, Zhong Jianguo would find out later, so they could throw the blame to her? Song Zhaodi wanted to say, naive!

When Song Zhaodi decided to marry Zhong Jianguo, she only thought about how to deal with her inconvenient cousin. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yin was nothing compared to Zhong Jianguo's ex-mother-in-law.

About whether to tell the two that she and Zhong Jianguo are married. Zhong Jianguo came back from the camp and told Song Zhaodi to drag it first, and when it could no longer be dragged, the soldiers would come to block the water and cover the soil.

Song Zhaodi felt that the initiative should be in her own hands, and asked Zhong Jianguo to send a telegram to his eldest brother, telling Zhao Yin that the army had a mission. If Zhao Yin wants to know something, just ask her to come over in person.

Zhong Jianguo was in a hurry at the time, and before he could speak, Song Zhaodi said, when she arrives, I will clean up her. Zhong Jianguo was speechless, if it wasn't for Zhao Yin's actions before, Zhong Jianguo couldn't help praying for her.

On the morning of October 15th, when the sun was showing, Song Zhaodi held the third baby, and when she led the older baby and the second baby to go shopping, she handed out the letters, one to Shencheng and the other to Xiaosong Village.

On the morning of October 20, Song Zhaodi asked Sister-in-law Duan, who came to chat with her while helping Sanwa to learn to walk: "Sister-in-law, is it very fast for our troops to send letters outside?"

"It's very fast." Sister Duan said, "Do you want to send a letter to your family?"

Song Zhaodi: "I've only been here for ten days. Even if I write to my parents and tell me that I'm fine here, they won't believe me. I plan to write to them again in a few days. I'm just asking, I have a clue."

"Speaking of writing letters to my family, I haven't written a letter to my family for a long time." Sister Duan said, "It should be snowing at our house by now."

Song Zhaodi stopped: "Is my sister-in-law from the Northeast?"

"Yes, I'm from Spring City." Sister Duan said, "When I was there, I thought that all places were the same as ours. There are only two seasons in a year - winter and summer."

Song Zhaodi's heart moved: "Is my sister-in-law from Chuncheng District?"

"How is that possible?" Sister-in-law Duan said with a smile, "Chuncheng is a rural person. Our old Liu is a city person, but it's a small market town, and it can't compare to your little Zhong."

Song Zhaodi tentatively asked, "Shuangcheng?"

"How do you know?" Sister Duan asked, "Xiao Zhong told you."

Song Zhaodi shook her head: "No. Sister-in-law, you may not believe it, my brother-in-law is from Shuangcheng."

"Isn't your home in Binhai?" Sister-in-law Duan recalled subconsciously, "I remember Lao Liu told me that your home is thousands of miles away from my home, how did your brother-in-law get to your side—wait, it was moved during the war. past?"

Song Zhaodi: "No. I'm not afraid of your jokes. My brother-in-law and his mother begged all the way to our side. My mother looked at them so pitiful and took them in. Later, my elder sister married my brother-in-law when she was of marriageable age."

"Oh, your brother-in-law is also a hard worker." Sister Duan said, "It's fortunate that I met your family. Lao Liu's nephew—" He suddenly looked at Song Zhaodi, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Big sister, no, no What a coincidence?!"

Song Zhaodi's heart tightened, and her face remained calm: "What's the coincidence?"

"Lao Liu has an elder brother who went to North Korea with the army at the beginning of the Korean War. Later, he died later." Sister Duan said, "Lao Liu had just become a regiment commander and was too busy to get away. Two of my family's The child is still young, and I can't go back to my hometown to visit my sister-in-law.

"When we made time to go home to look for our sister-in-law and nephew, the family told us that the mother didn't believe that Lao Liu's eldest brother had died, and went to North Korea to find him. There was chaos along the Yalu River, and Lao Liu was very anxious at the time. Eye. Big sister, tell me quickly what is your brother-in-law's name."

"Song Zhaodi, hurry up and open the door for me!"

"Does Zhong Jianguo live here?"

Song Zhaodi stood up: "Sister-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go see who's here."

Sister-in-law Duan scolded, who doesn't have long eyes to pick the time so well, looked back and suddenly widened her eyes: "Little, Xiao Song, is Dawa's grandmother."

"And Dawa's grandma." Song Zhaodi said with a smile, "It's a coincidence."
