chapter 18

Sister-in-law Duan said anxiously, "You can still laugh? Xiao Song, Dawa's grandmother and Dawa's grandmother are here. My God, how did they meet. No, Dawa, go find it, Who to look for? Nobody's home—"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's fine." Song Zhaodi said, "please take the three children upstairs."

Sister-in-law Duan learned from Bai Hua that Zhong Jianguo's stepmother had a black heart. When Bai Hua gave birth to three babies, during the period when Zhong Jianguo took Bai Mu over, Mrs. Duan encountered Bai Mu several times when she was buying meat, and many times, Mrs. Duan also saw that Bai Mu was extremely inattentive.

When these two came together, Sister Duan didn't dare to leave: "I'll take the three of them upstairs first, and you'll open the door when I get down."

"Sister-in-law is still afraid of me being bullied?" Song Zhaodi said, "I'm half a head taller than them, and younger than them, so if I really fight, I'll beat them."

Sister-in-law Duan waved her hand: "You are a college student, and you can't beat two tough ghosts. By the way, I thought about it, I have a phone at home. Dawa, Erwa, come back with me - my God, where did you get the knife? ?Daddy, give me the knife."

Song Zhaodi turned around, Zhong Dawa was holding a big kitchen knife, and Zhong Erwa was holding a small hoe, looking like a big enemy, wanted to laugh and felt distressed, the two people outside the door were their relatives.

"Big baby, second baby, trust me, it's alright." Song Zhaodi took away the knife and hoe, "Killing is worth your life, you two are so young, it's not worth your life to help two old dishes.

"Sister-in-law, please take the three of them to your house. Dad, if you're worried, just stand by the wall of your aunt's house and watch. Once you see that I'm at a loss, call your dad from your aunt's phone, okay? ?"

Zhong Dawa looked at Song Zhaodi and asked worriedly, "Don't you need me to help you?"

"No, no." Song Zhaodi patted his head, "I'm a college student, and I'm still the champion of our county. This is where the champion of champions solves problems." Pointing to his head, "The art of war is clear, but outwitness is the way to go. The best policy, only idiots do it."

Sister-in-law Duan: "Xiao Song, what are you talking about the art of war, the door of your house will be demolished by Dawa's grandmother."

Song Zhaodi walked to the door and shouted at the emaciated woman: "When will my aunt arrive?" Pretending to be surprised and happy, "Come in, come in quickly." Then she turned to the slightly fat woman on the other side, her brows slightly frowned. , confused, "Who is this?"

"I'm Dawa's grandmother." Mother Bai snorted coldly, pushed Zhao Yin aside and walked in, seeing Dawa head-on, her face full of distress, "Dawa, grandma's big baby, you are suffering. Grandma is here. It's late, big baby..." As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to hug the big baby.

The big baby flashed and ran behind Song Zhaodi.

Zhao Yin was staggered by Bai Mu and wanted to scold someone. He was overjoyed when he saw Dawa's reaction: "Dawa's grandmother? Why don't I think so. Dawa, is she your grandma?"

"Big baby, go to our house first." Sister-in-law Duan stretched out her hand, "Second baby, come here quickly."

Song Zhaodi noticed Zhao Yin's doubts: "Auntie, this is Master Liu's wife, the teacher's wife. Do you have anything to do? Let's talk about it first, and let the children go to Master Liu's house next door first."

Zhao Yin has a pair of snobbish eyes, and the words "teacher" came into his ears. He showed a smile like Maitreya Buddha and said to Sister Duan, "I have something to do with Zhao Di, please trouble you."

Sister-in-law Duan has lived for most of her life. In her early years, she followed Master Liu to the north and south, thinking that she had seen all the big scenes. However, seeing two women who are not a few years older than her change their faces several times in a while, I still feel incredible: "No trouble, let's talk."

Dawa walked to the door and couldn't help but look back.

Song Zhaodi waved her hand: "It's alright, let's go."

"Are you afraid that I will hit your stepmother?" Zhao Yin asked with a stared eye.

Song Zhaodi: "I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about his grandmother hitting me." He closed the door and looked at Mother Bai with a smile, "I heard Dawa say that his grandma is amazing."

Zhao Yin was surprised: "It's not me, it's her?" Pointing at the woman opposite.

"What do you mean?" Mother Bai was disgusted by her grandson, somewhat embarrassed, and said inwardly, "My eldest daughter thinks I am powerful, and it is you who deliberately ruined my reputation in front of him." Pointing to Song Zhaodi, "Don't think I don't know, you"

Song Zhaodi interrupted her: "What do you know? Two months ago, I didn't know whether Jianguo was black or white. My marriage with Jianguo was tied by my aunt. Do you think my aunt deliberately harmed Jianguo?" Without giving her a chance to speak, she turned to Zhao Yin, "Cousin, are you trying to build a country?"

"Of course!" Zhao Yin didn't even think about it, "Jianguo is busy with important affairs in the army all day, and there must be a woman in the family. I am not at ease with others, so I asked Zhao Di to marry Jianguo."

Mother Bai sneered: "This is the funniest thing I've heard in my life. For the sake of Jianguo, she will drive Jianguo to his grandma's house? For the good of Jianguo, find him such a black and thin country girl? For Jianguo Well, when the eldest child was three years old, he didn't even know who his grandma was?"

"You—" Zhao Yin took a deep breath, "that's better than you, too. I'm not good, how are you? Hello, big baby is hiding from you? Erwa doesn't even call her grandma? Don't think I don't know Dawa's mother. How did you die? Our Zhong family didn't ask you for someone, so you went to the door first? I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen one as shameless as you."

Mother Bai's face flushed red, her fingers trembling: "You, you—"

"What are you?" Zhao Yin said, "I'm Zhong Jianguo's mother, why is it my business to treat him? You, an outsider, came to our Zhong's house and ran wild. I really thought that Jianguo was not at home, and the old Zhong's house was gone."

Song Zhaodi held back a smile: "Auntie, don't say a word, go into the room to rest. Auntie, you also enter the room." After speaking, she went into the room.

Sister-in-law Duan watched the three go in and said, "Dad, let's go back to the house too."

"Will my stepmother be okay?" Zhong Dawa looked at Sister Duan.

Sister-in-law Duan said with a smile, "Don't worry. When your grandma met your grandmother, she was point-to-point, point-to-point, and sometimes noisy." As she spoke, she glanced at the next door, "It's estimated that the noise will make your father come back."

As soon as Zhao Yin entered, he looked around as if his eyes were not enough. He saw that there were two benches, a small square table, a few small benches in the living room, a broom behind the door, and portraits of the chairman, the prime minister and the marshal hanging on the wall. , there is nothing next to it, can't help but pouted, really poor.

Song Zhaodi went to the kitchen and pulled out two large porcelain bowls. She came out with the hot pot and smiled awkwardly: "There is no tea jar for drinking water downstairs, so I can only use bowls."

"I bought this thermos." Bai Mu said suddenly.

Song Zhaodi really wanted to send her three words - shameless.

A few days ago, Song Zhaodi deliberately asked Zhong Jianguo to talk about Bai's family, because she was afraid that Bai's mother would come suddenly and catch her off guard. Zhong Jianguo once mentioned that when he married Bai Hua, Bai Mu made a new dress and a new pair of shoes for Bai Hua.

Bai Hua gave the family twenty dollars a month. When Bai Hua got married, Bai Mu couldn't even buy a box of vanishing cream. Rao is that Song Zhaodi was mentally prepared, and she was almost disgusted by Bai Mu who spat out the overnight meal.

"Why did I hear Jianguo say that this thermos was bought by Jianguo before the baby was born." Song Zhaodi asked deliberately, "Could it be that Jianguo lied to me?" After a while, "Jianguo doesn't have to lie to me, a thermos, not a bicycle, sewing machine."

Mother Bai choked: "Of course Jianguo doesn't want to lie to you. However, if you knew that the thermos was bought by me, you would definitely ask Jianguo to buy a new one for you. Our family Jianguo is very good at—"

"Your family Jianguo?" With a "bang", Zhao Yin put down the bowl, "When did Jianguo become your family, have you asked me and his father?"

Bai's mother took a breath: "As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son-in-law, saying that Jianguo belongs to my Bai family, am I wrong?"

"The principle is this principle." Song Zhaodi moved a bench and sat next to Zhao Yin, opposing her mother Bai, "But I also heard Jianguo say that the big baby's mother makes all the money for you, whether it is before or after marriage. , Jianguo has never seen her a penny. Cousin, do you know about this?"

Zhao Yin subconsciously said, "I don't know." He was stunned, "You mean that after Bai Hua married Jianguo, the teacher's salary was also given to the Bai family? Zhao Di."

"Yes." Song Zhaodi nodded, "She used Baihua's money to order milk for her grandson. Dawa wanted to taste the milk. She told Dawa that milk was not good. Later, Dawa's mother couldn't go to work, so she Ask Jianguo to give her 20 yuan a month. Cousin, you don't know that all the money Jianguo makes is taken away by her."

Zhao Yin was furious, and suddenly got up.

"Nonsense!" Bai Mu stood up like a conditioned reflex.

Song Zhaodi did not move: "I'm talking nonsense? Look at the flesh on your body, I'm talking nonsense? I heard Jianguo say that you don't have a job, and the grandfather of the eldest baby doesn't work either. Your son and daughter-in-law are ordinary workers. A big family, living more prosperously than my cousin's family, and no one to help, who would believe it? Auntie, do you believe it?"

Zhao Yin and Zhong Jianguo's father both have jobs. Zhao Yin's son has not yet married a wife, and the family of three is a dual-employee, but Zhao Yin is much thinner than Bai's mother.

In the past, Zhao Yin only cared that Zhong Jianguo married her behind her back, and didn't take a serious look at Zhong Jianguo's ex-mother-in-law. Now that she looks more carefully, she is dressed better than her, so she can't help but sneer: "It is reasonable to say that Jianguo's salary is getting better every year. Gao, the things you send home on New Years and holidays should be getting better every year, but these years are not as good as each year. It turned out to be in your stomach. How dare you come?! Look at me—"

"Cousin, you can't do it." Song Zhaodi quickly grabbed Zhao Yin, how could this old shrew be in such a hurry, "You and Aunt Bai must have something to do, so let's talk about it first."

Zhao Yin calmed down, turned to Song Zhaodi, and frowned: "I heard from the boss's wife that you and Zhong Jianguo had cheated on you. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? I'm afraid I know? I can still eat you all."

"Cousin, I didn't mean to hide this from you." Song Zhaodi said earnestly, "We got the certificate in the morning on the 9th, and we will be back in the afternoon. If you don't believe me, wait, I'll get the marriage certificate. By the way, the ticket is also available. Yes." She went upstairs without waiting for her to speak.

White mother followed.

Zhao Yin swiped and ran over to stop it: "What do you want? Do you want to take Jianguo's things again? I tell you, don't even think about it when I'm here."

"This is my son-in-law's house, I can go wherever I want." Mother Bai pushed Zhao Yin's hand away, "Go away!"

Zhao Yin's sense of Zhong Jianguo is very complicated. When her life went badly, she cursed Zhong Jianguo to die. When the family encounters some difficulties, the street or the factory will take care of the Zhong family because the Zhong family is a military member. Zhao Yin also hopes that Zhong Jianguo will be promoted to rank and make a fortune.

When Zhao Yin saw Zhong Jianguo, her disposition to step on the ground and hold her high made her unable to help but curry favor with Zhong Jianguo, and even the frown on her face was deliberately flattering. But he didn't want Zhong Jianguo to live too well.

It is precisely because Zhao Yin is so contradictory that when she thinks Song Zhaodi is a native girl in a mountain nest, she introduces Song Zhaodi to Zhong Jianguo in the name of being good for Zhong Jianguo.

Zhao Yin thought that her kind of careful thinking could not be seen by others, but in fact, even the really simple and unscrupulous mother Song could see that she had no good intentions for Song Zhaodi when she was a matchmaker. However, there is one thing Zhao Yin never dared to expect, and that is Zhong Jianguo's salary.

Everyone in the tube house where Zhao Yin drove the Zhong brothers out of the house knew about it. She wants Zhong Jianguo's things and can only make a fuss about boxing.

If he dared to ask Zhong Jianguo for money, if the elder brother of the Zhong family sued Zhao Yin’s unit in a fit of rage, Zhao Yin would be scolded by the factory leaders at light level, or expelled at worst.

In a few years, Zhao Yin will retire. She doesn't want to get old and the pension will be gone. And she is getting older and older, Zhong Jianguo is getting more and more powerful, and Zhao Yin is getting more and more timid about Zhong Jianguo. This time, dared to find someone alone, but also relying on her to take the lead.

Zhong Jianguo didn't look like someone who could live in a building, and Zhao Yin was also a little strange. After listening to Song Zhaodi's words, Zhao Yin determined that Zhong Jianguo's money was taken away by the Bai family.

As long as she thought of the stacks of banknotes that she didn't dare to hope for and flew to Bai's house, Zhao Yin's stomach hurts with anger: "I haven't told you to get out, but you dare to ask me to get out? My mother wants to see, we two Who gets out today." He reached out and grabbed Mother Bai's hair and pulled it out.

Song Zhaodi turned out the marriage certificate and the ticket she kept as a souvenir, and saw Zhao Yin and Bai Mu were tearing up at the entrance of the stairs. Song Zhaodi was so happy, she simply sat down and quietly watched the two fight.

After the two of them were ragged and panting from exhaustion, Song Zhaodi slowly went downstairs, pretending to be surprised: "Cousin, auntie, what are you doing? Hey, my bowl, why is my bowl broken? Aunt, did you break it?"

"It's not me!" Zhao Yin blurted out without thinking, "It's her!"

Mother Bai saw that the two bowls were broken into pieces and completely unusable: "Your cousin knocked it off."

"You knocked it off." Zhao Yin took a few breaths, put one hand on his hip and pointed at Bai Mu with the other, "The bowl is close to you, far away from me, Zhao Di, ask her to pay, she must pay."

Mother Bai stared, jumped three times, and raised her voice: "Why should you pay me? Which eyes did you see that I lost it? Don't spit blood."

"I don't care which one of you threw it, anyway, the two bowls can't be used anymore." Song Zhaodi said, "Only you and my cousin are downstairs, each of you will pay one, and one will give me a dime."

Mother Bai exclaimed: "Why don't you go grab it?!"

"I'm too embarrassed to ask your aunt to pay for a big bowl of rough porcelain? It's my fault that I introduced you to Jianguo." Zhao Yin sneered, "Song Zhaodi, do you have a conscience?"

Song Zhaodi: "My family originally had several bowls, but the eldest baby and the second baby were not steady when they were eating, and three broke. Now you have broken two more, so why don't you buy a bowl? We have to eat in a bowl at noon.

"Before the founding of the country, the salary was not high. Not only did he have to support a family of five, but he was also chased by this aunt for money from time to time. When the big baby's mother died, Jianguo borrowed money from Master Liu. Cousin, Jianguo still owes one Ass foreign debt, this month's salary has not been paid, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Yin pointed at Mother Bai: "Ask her for it!"

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Mother Bai said, "Zhong Jianguo never gave me any money."

Song Zhaodi: "It didn't happen later. But I heard from the neighbors around me that you take Jianguo's non-staple food book to buy things in the supply and marketing cooperatives and non-staple food factories every day, and you buy two copies each time and send one home.

"The big baby also said that you stole things from the house, honey, wheat milk essence, cloth, etc., but if you can send it to Shencheng through the post office, you secretly hide everything and send it back. When the third baby was born, you were here. After staying for two months, the Zhong family's monthly food cost of thirty yuan is not enough."

"Thirty bucks?" Zhao Yin's eyes widened, "Eating meat every once in a while doesn't cost you thirty bucks a month."

Song Zhaodi nodded: "Yes. Auntie, you see this is a marriage certificate, and this is a train ticket and a ferry ticket."

Zhao Yin was illiterate before, but Zhong Jianguo's father taught her. Zhao Yin knew numbers, read it twice, and returned it to Song Zhaodi: "I misunderstood you. It's good here, right? What does Jianguo do to you?"

"Jianguo hasn't come back for two days." Song Zhaodi couldn't help sighing and frowning, "You guys are here today, and I don't know if he can ask for leave to come back. I feel like a nanny."

Mother Bai didn't expect Zhong Jianguo and Dawa to tell Song Zhaodi everything, and they were blocked by Song Zhaodi and had chest pains. Listening to what she said, she smiled and said, "You are my son-in-law's nanny."

"Auntie, let me ask you one last question, what are you doing here?" Song Zhaodi wanted to roll his eyes, "As far as I know, your family has a problem. You sneaked over here. Do the members of the Revolutionary Committee know?"

Mother Bai's face changed suddenly.

Zhao Yin was surprised: "Is she a black five?"

"Almost." Song Zhaodi said, "Auntie, don't tell me honestly, don't blame me for sending a telegram to Shencheng."

A few days ago, Mother Bai received a letter saying that she was a good friend of Bai Hua, and she was very saddened by Bai Hua's death. So far, thinking of Bai Hua makes her feel worthless for her.

Bai Hua gave birth to three sons to Zhong Jianguo. As soon as she died, Zhong Jianguo couldn't wait to continue the chorus. The more hateful partner was the niece of Zhong Jianguo's stepmother. hope Mother Bai can come and take care of Zhong Jianguo.

When Bai Hua died, Zhong Jianguo sent a telegram to the Bai family. Mother Bai took this telegram to ask for leave. At this time, the revolution was not very serious, and Mother Bai was an insignificant person. The director of the street gave her five days off.

Mother Bai was skeptical about the content of the letter, but when she saw the change in Zhong's small courtyard, Mother Bai was furious and felt that Zhong Jianguo really had no conscience, so she shouted at the door. He completely forgot that she was the most unqualified person to scold Zhong Jianguo and show his face to Song Zhaodi.

Song Zhaodi's voice fell, and Mother Bai woke up, but she was not the snobby of Zhao Yin, who could stretch and shrink. She is an ordinary citizen who is serious about sons and daughters, and asked her to bow her head to Song Zhaodi. Bai Mu couldn't do it: "Who are you scaring?"

"If you think I'm scaring you, then so be it. However, Auntie, I have to remind you that Jianguo told me where your family lives." Song Zhaodi said, "Auntie, do you have any other business?"

Zhao Yin wanted to remind Song Zhaodi to know how to repay her kindness, but she saw that Song Zhaodi didn't seem to be willing to take care of a few children, and there was still a basin of unwashed clothes under the porch, so she smiled: "I have nothing else to do, just look at you. Whether you live well or not, whether you are used to it or not.”

"It's almost noon, and there is no food at home." Song Zhaodi said, "Cousin, you go shopping with me and send a telegram to Shencheng by the way, saying that this aunt came here secretly."

Zhao Yin is very happy to do this kind of thing: "Okay, let's go now."

Send a telegram to Shencheng? Isn't she going to reveal her secret. There was panic in Bai Mu's eyes: "You dare?!"

Song Zhaodi's eyes flashed, was she guessed?

Zhao Yin saw that her arrogance and domineering just now was completely gone, and said with a smile: "There is nothing that Zhao Yin dare not do. Zhao Di, let's go."

Song Zhaodi pouted at Mother Bai: "I can't lock the door when she's here."

"This is easy to handle." Zhao Yin went up and grabbed Mother Bai's arm, "Come out for me."

Mother Bai subconsciously grabbed the door frame.

Song Zhaodi went up to break her hand, but did not break it. And as Sister Duan said, Song Zhaodi would not fight with women. After thinking about it, she saw the big kitchen knife she had thrown under the porch.

Song Zhaodi picked up the kitchen knife and walked towards Bai Mu.

Zhao Yin's face changed greatly: "Zhao Di, don't do stupid things."

"Cousin, I know." Song Zhaodi said, "I don't kill anyone, I just chop off her fingers first, then go back to the hospital and sew them up for her.

"If the leader of Jianguo asks, I will say that this aunt stole something from our house. Just remember to testify for me." He said, raising the kitchen knife.

Zhao Yin let go subconsciously.

thump!

White mother fell to the ground.

Song Zhaodi looked at the kitchen knife that she hadn't had time to put down, and then looked at the pale mother, who was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Auntie, do you want me to pull you up?"

Mother Bai got up and ran out.

Song Zhaodi reminded: "Auntie, you haven't got your bag yet."

Mother Bai paused, turned around, picked up her bag, and rushed out again.

Song Zhaodi shook the big kitchen knife and said with a smile, "Auntie, we can go shopping."

The first time Zhao Yin met Song Zhaodi was at Zhong's house, and Song Zhaodi didn't like her very much. The second time was at Song's house, and Song Zhaodi hated her very much. Today is the third time that Zhao Yin has seen Song Zhaodi. Song Zhaodi was very polite to her, as if she had forgotten the unhappiness of the first two times.

But Song Zhaodi just complained that Zhong Jianguo hadn't come home for a few days, and Song Zhaodi didn't blame her? Zhao Yin always felt that Song Zhaodi hid a knife in her smile, and the knife in her hand would fall on her head in the next moment.

"Go, I'll be waiting for you at home." Zhao Yin tentatively said.

Song Zhaodi sneered in her heart, "Cousin, like Dawa's grandmother, are you planning to steal things from the Zhong family?"

"You child, why are you talking to your cousin?" Zhao Yin really thought about seeing what was upstairs, and said, "Is your cousin like that?"

Song Zhaodi blurted out: "Yes! Cousin, I heard you say that Zhong Jianguo's conditions are very good to marry him. However, in fact, the Zhong family can't even afford to eat meat. It's not as good as our countryside. Go fishing in the sea."

"This side also depends on the sea." Zhao Yin reminded.

Song Zhaodi: "The troops are training at the beach, and family members are not allowed to go there. The place where fishing is allowed is more than 30 miles away, and I can't go with my three children.

"Zhong Jianguo doesn't go home every day, I'm dying of hunger. Auntie, I heard Jianguo buy a lot of things for you and my uncle on August 15th. Auntie, you see Jianguo is so filial to you, do you have to do it too? Treat his wife, your cousin's niece better?"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yin was not stupid, and immediately heard something was wrong.

Song Zhaodi grinned and said, "Give me five yuan, and I'll buy a chicken, a fish, and a piece of pork belly."

Zhao Yin gasped: "You, you are really willing!"

"Auntie is willing, I'm willing." Song Zhaodi said with a smile, "The three children don't eat much, we should eat it when they are cooked. Auntie, just give me five dollars." Zhao Yin turned in his pocket.

Zhao Yin subconsciously wanted to push her away, saw the big knife in her other hand, and hurriedly walked out.

"Cousin, where are you going?" Song Zhaodi caught up.

Zhao Yin blurted out, "I'm going home."

"Don't you want your bag?" Song Zhaodi pointed to the cloth bag on the bench.

Zhao Yin subconsciously wanted to go back to get it, and paused: "Bring it to me. Wait, put down the knife."

Song Zhaodi pouted when she turned around to take the bag, two cowards, she surrendered after only two successes, and it was too boring: "Auntie, this knife is my family's knife for cutting vegetables, not a knife for killing. I don't I'll slash at you."

"You—" Zhao Yin swallowed, "Then what did you do to cut that woman?"

Song Zhaodi wrote nonsense: "She cares about the things in my house. My house is nothing, and if she takes it all away, the life will be over, and there is no need to cook." Put down the knife, picked up the bag, and handed it to her. Zhao Yin didn't let go, "If you leave as soon as you arrive, the neighbors on the left and right will think I'm ignorant.

"Cousin, let's go shopping tomorrow, let's go shopping, and I'll cook you a delicious meal. You take a break, I'll satisfy your cravings, and when the neighbors ask, I can also tell the neighbors that Jianguo's face is also bright."

"There is something else at home." Zhao Yin fiercely pulled the bag back, "Take good care of Zhong Jianguo's three children, don't worry about Xiaosong Village all day, and don't worry about eating well all day."

Song Zhaodi: "Auntie, are you really leaving? Auntie, I only have one dollar on me. You can give me five dollars. No, one is fine. At least it's enough for me to buy a chicken."

"No, not a penny." Zhao Yin trotted out of the Zhong's small courtyard, turned around and sipped, "I said why are you so warm to me, and thinking about my mother's money together? Dream about it.

Sister-in-law Duan heard the shouting from the next door, and came out with the third baby, and saw the white mother running out like a wind. Before Sister Duan could figure out what was going on, she saw Zhao Yin in a hurry, as if a wolf was chasing her: "Xiao Song, what's going on?"

Song Zhaodi told Sister Duan about the possibility of Mother Bai sneaking over, and then she said, "My cousin is a dislike of the poor and loves the rich. Seeing that we have nothing in the house, I asked her for money, she thought we were poor. Can't open the pot, scared away."

"This woman." Sister-in-law Duan was quite speechless, "I remember you said that you should put away things that you don't use often, so that you can teach Sanwa how to walk. In the future, Sanwa will leave, and you won't run into him when you wander around the room. She didn't even ask a question?"

Song Zhaodi: "My cousin has shallow eyelids and is not sincere to me. It is impossible to ask more questions. Big baby, second baby, rest assured?"

"Will grandma come back again?" Dawa was still a little worried.

Song Zhaodi: "Those who have no face and no skin will not take today's affairs to heart. However, your grandma is a little afraid of me and won't dare to come again for the time being."

"Where's her grandma?" Sister Duan said, "You can't always say that you have no money."

Song Zhaodi: "It's fine if you don't come back years ago. No one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe she will choke to death by drinking water tomorrow. No matter how much you think about it now, it may not be useful in the future."

"Yes." Sister Duan said, "Xiao Song, let's talk about your brother-in-law."

Song Zhaodi looked at the sun and said, "Let's go back to the house. Will Master Liu come back at noon? If he doesn't come back, sister-in-law will eat at our house at noon."

"Xiao Zhong is not coming back?" Sister Duan asked.

Song Zhaodi: "When he left today, he said he would not come back until it was dark. Dad, didn't you call your dad just now?"

"No." Dawa looked up at Song Zhaodi, "You are very powerful."

Song Zhaodi laughed: "Calling mother."

"Don't call! Just call your stepmother." Zhong Dawa ran into the house.

Sister-in-law Duan shook her head and laughed: "This child. Erwa, what did you call your stepmother?"

"Stepmother!" Erwa ran in.

Song Zhaodi deliberately frightened them: "If you don't call your mother, I won't cook at noon."

"We don't eat it, my aunt has to eat it." Zhong Dawa reminded her, "I haven't eaten candy today."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "If you call your mother, you will be allowed to eat two."

"I only eat one." Zhong Dawa stretched out a finger, "Dad said only one can be eaten a day. If you ask me to eat two, I will tell Daddy that you are disobedient."

Song Zhaodi choked.

Sister-in-law Duan was delighted: "Big sister, didn't you think of it?"

"Believe it or not, I'll cut you?" Song Zhaodi threatened.

Zhong Dawa: "You dare not cut people. When you kill a duck, you close your eyes and chop off the duck's head, and all the duck's blood flows to the ground. Dad thinks you are a loser."

"Speak hard, I don't really want to cook anymore." Song Zhaodi pretended to be angry.

Zhong Dawa covered her mouth and took Erwa to run upstairs.

Song Zhaodi couldn't help but sighed: "This bear boy, why don't you just keep talking to me."

"Very good." Sister-in-law Duan said with a smile, "What do you eat at noon? Hey, why is the bowl broken?"

Song Zhaodi: "The two fell off when they were fighting."

"A fight?" Sister-in-law Duan's eyes widened.

Song Zhaodi: "I didn't expect that, as soon as there was a disagreement, I would move my hand." Pointing to a few half-white hair on the ground, "This is my cousin's, and the black and thick hair here belongs to Dawa's grandmother. It was pulled during a fight."

"No wonder I can break the bowl." Sister-in-law Duan clicked her tongue, "Did it hurt you?"

Song Zhaodi couldn't say that she hid at the stairs to watch the fun: "I hid in the kitchen. Alas, the two of them ran away, and I don't know what to say to him when I came back to Jianguo."

"Tell me the truth," said Mrs. Duan, "I understand Xiao Zhong. He doesn't like his stepmother, and he also hates Dawa's grandmother. Oh, he wished those two women would kill each other."

Song Zhaodi: "The two of them are not too young. My cousin's hand strength is relatively strong, and her fists can't hurt the grandmother of the big baby." After speaking, she suddenly thought, "Is there only one group of ships going to sea?"

"There is a shift in the morning and the afternoon, what's the matter?" Sister Duan asked, her eyes wide open. "The morning boat has already left, and they can't go back until the afternoon. Do you mean they will come back?"

Song Zhaodi didn't want to nod her head: "sister-in-law, lend me some locks. I have to lock the upstairs door and the cabinet door in the kitchen."

"How come it's like a devil entering the village?" Sister-in-law Duan quickly handed her the confused Sanwa and ran home to find the lock.

When the eldest child and the second child heard that their grandmother and grandmother would come back again, the two children had no fear but excitement on their faces. Dawa picked up the big kitchen knife again and gestured at Song Zhaodi: "I'll help you scare grandma."

"Put it down for me." The kitchen knife is very sharp, and Song Zhaodi usually doesn't dare to be distracted when chopping vegetables. "I'll cut the tomatoes and steam the rice. You two are guarding the door. When you see your grandma coming back, call me."

Dawa was surprised: "Still cooking?"

"It's a must." Song Zhaodi said, "It's stupid to starve yourself for a bad guy."

Sister-in-law Duan: "I'll set a fire for you."

Knowing that she had something to say, Song Zhaodi nodded, went to the kitchen and said, "My brother-in-law's name is Liu Yang."

"Liu Yang?" Sister-in-law Duan shook her head, extremely disappointed, "Old Liu's nephew is not called this name."

Song Zhaodi: "Liu Yang is a famous name. My father gave it to Yang of the ocean. What was the original name of the teacher's nephew?"

"Old Liu has only one eldest brother." Sister Duan recalled carefully, "Old Liu said that when the child was just born, the eldest brother saw that it was a son, and said that the Liu family had a descendant, so it was called Yougen."

Boom!

The gourd scoop in Song Zhaodi's hand fell into it, splashing water on Sister Duan's face.

Sister-in-law Duan raised her head and saw Song Zhaodi's expression clearly.

"Sister-in-law, don't get excited yet." Song Zhaodi took a deep breath, "There are many people with the same name and surname in the world. The names Yougen, Jiagen and Jiabao are very common. Tell me how old your nephew is now."

Sister-in-law Duan thought about it carefully: "The year I married Lao Liu, the child seemed to be five years old. Yes, I remember, we drove the devil away a year later. When the civil war began, Lao Liu went to the battlefield, and I Followed. Is it five years old?"

Song Zhaodi nodded: "What's your sister-in-law's last name?"

"The surname is Yang." Sister-in-law Duan affirmed, "Mu Yiyang, when I saw the art troupe singing Shiro's visit to his mother, when I mentioned Mu Yiyang, I would think of that sister-in-law."

Song Zhaodi didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world, but when Sister Duan said she was from Chuncheng, two words flashed in Song Zhaodi's head - what a coincidence. Then he asked more: "Sister-in-law, I think my brother-in-law is very likely your nephew."

"I'm going to call Lao Liu." Sister-in-law Duan suddenly stood up, "You hold Sanwa."

Song Zhaodi stretched out her hand to take Sanwa and hurriedly reminded: "Sister-in-law, don't tell Master Liu about this first, let's talk about it when he comes back."

"I know." Sister-in-law Duan said, "Although Lao Liu said all day long that his sister-in-law and nephew are fine, but I know when Lao Liu said that, he also felt that her sister-in-law and nephew were not alive." After a pause, "Huaguo is so big. , even if I'm still alive, I'll never see you again in this life. Big sister, thank you!"

Song Zhaodi couldn't understand the sudden appearance of her relatives after many years of disappearance, but seeing Sister Duan, who was pretending to be calm, her fingers were trembling, and she patted her on the shoulder: "Come on."

Sister-in-law Duan turned around and ran next door.

Master Liu received a call from his wife calling him to go home, and glanced at the person opposite: "Go back with me, honestly confess to Xiao Song, and then tell her that you are investigating her."

Zhong Jianguo was called over by Master Liu early this morning. He thought he had some important task, but as soon as he entered the door, a file bag flew towards him.

Catching it subconsciously, Zhong Jianguo took it apart and took a look. Song Zhaodi worked extremely hard during his time at Binhai University, but his political commissar didn't even find out who Song Zhaodi was talking about during college.

Zhong Jianguo's heart was very complicated, but he didn't dare to say it. Even if he had the information in hand, he still felt that Song Zhaodi was strange everywhere, so he nodded: "I will apologize to Comrade Song Zhaodi, and I shouldn't doubt her. However, teacher, investigate. I have already told her about Comrade Song Zhaodi."

Master Liu asked, "Xiao Song is not angry?"

"No." Zhong Jianguo said, "She is very generous and thinks that before the army assigns her a job, it should be sent to investigate her." After a pause, "It's just that Comrade Song Zhaodi said that she only teaches first-year students. "

Master Liu: "Why?"

"I still have three children." Zhong Jianguo said, "she does the laundry, cooking, and grocery shopping. She spends all day in school, and all these tasks are left to me. I don't have time. "

Master Liu nodded: "Okay. Xiao Song has never been a middle school teacher, so let's try it out with a class first."

"There is one more point." Zhong Jianguo said embarrassedly, "How should Comrade Song Zhaodi's salary be calculated? According to her qualifications, Comrade Song Zhaodi is a new teacher. According to her educational background, the principal is a junior college student, and she is an undergraduate student."

Master Liu: "I will tell the political commissar about this. Go back first, I don't know what your sister-in-law is looking for from me."

"Captain." When Xiao Li saw Zhong Jianguo come out, he subconsciously gave him a wink.

Master Liu raised his brows: "What is so mysterious?"

"The teacher is not an outsider, just say it directly." Zhong Jianguo said.

Xiao Li looked around: "Your stepmother and Dawa's grandmother are here."

"Who?!" Zhong Jianguo exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief, "My stepmother? Dawa's grandmother? They, when did they come? Where are they?"

Xiao Li said in a low voice: "Don't worry, head of the regiment, we haven't arrived yet. The people from our regiment cooking class went out to buy things today. When they got off the boat, they saw Dawa's grandma, and came back and told me about it.

"I drove your car to your house without your permission to confirm the truth. Several women who led their children outside told me that Dawa's grandmother and grandmother were sent away by her sister-in-law."

Gone? Zhong Jianguo can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it's great!

"What are you talking about when you're gone?" Master Liu didn't understand.

Xiao Li said: "When the third company commander came home for dinner, he met those two people who came here, and quickly borrowed a bicycle and ran to tell me. I guess they will arrive in ten minutes at most."

Zhong Jianguo originally thought that Song Zhaodi was bragging, but he didn't expect that she could really send people away. He calmed down and said calmly, "I'll be home when they get here. You're nervous, people who don't know think that the devil has entered the village."
