Chapter 27 Routine Inquiries

Sister-in-law Chen turned around when she heard the voice: "Mr. Song is back. You said that Xiao Zhao, I don't know her well, I just chatted a few times when I went shopping."

"Then she is looking for you for help?" Song Zhaodi walked over and probed.

Sister-in-law Chen didn't go back to the house when she saw her coming: "I want me to introduce someone to her, preferably an officer above the company commander."

Song Zhaodi was dumbfounded. The answer was too unexpected for her: "Didn't she ask Head Qian to introduce her to someone? Why did she find you again?"

Sister-in-law Chen frowned slightly, staring at Song Zhaodi: "Please, Head Qian? Who told you?"

"Everyone in the non-staple food factory said this." Song Zhaodi said, "My family eats green vegetables, spinach, and lettuce these days. When the big baby and the second baby are tired of eating, I go to the non-staple food factory to buy them two big bone sticks and stew them. Soup gave them a note. When I was chatting with the workers, the employees of the non-staple food factory told me this, did they lie to me?"

Zhong Dawa often "stealed" things from the house for Lin Zhong to eat. Sister-in-law Chen knew and taught her son not to eat things from other children.

Last night, the eldest child came to play in the forest, and gestured that the noodles made by his stepmother were better than those made by others. Sister-in-law Chen asked curiously, knowing that Song Zhaodi was using bone broth to make noodles, and she doubted him: "Those people probably don't know. This little Zhao, I can't tell."

"I know." Song Zhaodi looked silly and sweet, "Xiao Zhao has high eyesight, and she doesn't look down on ordinary people."

Sister-in-law Chen said helplessly, "Xiao Song, you are really stupid for reading."

Song Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, then understood in an instant, and deliberately pretended not to know: "I'm stupid? No, sister-in-law, what do you mean? We're talking about Xiao Zhao."

Sister-in-law Chen walked up to her and whispered, "That little Zhao is restless."

Song Zhaodi frowned: "restless? What do you mean, she is very frivolous?"

Sister-in-law Chen nodded: "If you go to the non-staple food factory in the future, don't be polite to her, or she will have to come to you next time." After a while, "I just gave her a good face, she thought I liked her very much, I don't even know what kind of virtue you have when you urinate."

Song Zhaodi's brows twitched, and Sister Chen's tone was wrong. Wait, is it difficult: "Sister-in-law, I heard what you said, that Xiao Zhao didn't look for Head Lin before, did he?"

Sister-in-law Chen looked around subconsciously, and saw that no one was coming here: "I tell you, don't say it outside, she just asked our old Lin to talk to us when we moved here.

"Lao Lin is an elm head. When he came back, he told me that he met Xiao Zhao several times in a row in the past few days. Did Xiao Zhao ask him to introduce her to someone? I thought so. Later, the non-staple food factory opened up, I went to the non-staple food factory to buy something, and I wanted to introduce Xiao Zhao to someone, and Xiao Zhao's face changed, and I knew that her purpose was our old Lin."

"Headmaster Lin doesn't know?" Song Zhaodi was shocked, and secretly warned herself that she couldn't treat everyone as honest because of the simplicity of the people of this era. There is no shortage of junior professional households in any age.

Sister-in-law Chen: "I told Lao Lin that Xiao Zhao has high vision. If Lao Lin said that she doesn't want to, forget it, and don't care anymore."

"According to what my sister-in-law said, Xiao Zhao is interested in the head of Qian." Song Zhaodi deliberately pretended to be puzzled, "Then why did she ask you to introduce her to her?"

Sister-in-law Chen sneered, her face full of mockery: "Old Qian's family has Teacher Yao, so how can you like her. It is estimated that she came across a nail in Lao Qian's place, and then she remembered to find me again."

"It stands to reason that she wanted to marry an officer a long time ago, why didn't she marry the big baby's father?" Song Zhaodi wanted to know what was wrong with Zhong Jianguo. Xiao Zhao let Zhong Jianguo a man in his thirties not want it. Specially staring at the old man in his forties.

Sister-in-law Chen said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao wants to marry Xiao Zhong from your family. Unfortunately, she asked someone to find out that Da Wa's grandmother was in trouble, that Da Wa's grandmother had a bad heart, and Xiao Zhong has three children, the youngest of whom is not yet. I will let your little clock go. Otherwise, it will not be your turn."

"That's it." That's right. Song Zhaodi immediately asked, "Sister-in-law doesn't plan to introduce her?"

Sister-in-law Chen nodded: "It's unlucky for that kind of woman to marry, I don't want to do that immoral thing."

"Stepmother, why did you come back?"

The big baby's voice came from behind, Song Zhaodi turned around, put her hands on her hips, and stared, "What are you calling?"

The big baby took a step and stopped the car: "Mother." After a sentence, she turned around and pushed open the door of her house, showing her head, "I'm hungry, I'm cooking."

Song Zhaodi put down her hand: "Go and pick some green vegetables, pick the big ones."

"Eat green vegetables again." Da Wa grimaced, "I don't want to eat it."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Then I won't cook tonight. I'm too tired to move anyway."

Dawa's face changed slightly, and then he ran into the courtyard, shouting, "I'm going to pick vegetables."

"This child." Sister-in-law Duan came over with the third baby in her arms. "The second baby and I have been talking since noon, why the stepmother hasn't come back, why hasn't she come back. Lao Liu scare them both, you can call the stepmother again, she is today I can't come back. I started talking in the afternoon, why my mother hasn't come back."

Song Zhaodi took Sanwa: "Did you eat at your house at noon?"

"Tell them to eat at our house, but I don't want to." Sister Duan said, "Jianguo said that there are two bowls of bone soup on the stove in your house. You should steam some rice, cook a pot of green vegetables with the bone soup, and eat it with rice. Yes. By the way, have you bought the cloth?"

Sister-in-law Chen hurriedly asked, "Xiao Song went out to buy cloth?"

"I bought it." Song Zhaodi said, "a blue cloth, a gray cloth, and a white cloth. If you don't ask, I almost forgot. I heard the tone of the eldest sister who sold cloth in the cooperative. If it is sunny in the next two days, they will Just deal with the winter cloth. If you want to buy cloth, check it out in two days. However, I can't guarantee it will be available."

Sister-in-law Chen said with a smile: "As soon as the clearance sign is posted every year, no matter how much cloth is piled up in the warehouse, it can be sold out on the same day. It's not your fault if you can't buy it. I'll change classes with others tomorrow and go to Hangzhou to see."

"I'll go with you." Sister Duan said quickly, "Xiao Song, do you still want it?"

Song Zhaodi: "If you can buy it, I'll definitely want it. It doesn't matter if the cloth head is rags, keep the soles of the shoes. By the way, sister-in-law, if your family has food stamps, you can also use them to exchange the cloth stamps with the people over there. At that time, you must find someone who obviously hasn't eaten a full meal in days."

"I know." Sister-in-law Duan has done a lot of things like exchanging tickets, and she doesn't need Song Zhaodi's explanation, "It's getting dark, go back and cook."

Song Zhaodi carried Sanwa into the house and couldn't help sighing.

"Stepmother, I'm playing with my brother, you rest." Erwa said with her head raised.

Song Zhaodi glanced at the little guy beside her: "Okay, look at your brother, don't eat anything on the ground, I'll take the cloth upstairs."

"Are you making clothes for us?" Erwa hurriedly asked.

Song Zhaodi said "um": "Are you happy?"

"Happy." Erwa grinned, her eyes narrowed into a line.

The eldest baby looks like Zhong Jianguo, the second baby looks like his mother, the third baby has a face like Zhong Jianguo, and the facial features are very delicate, also like a birch. However, Bai Hua has single eyelids, and the three brothers have double eyelids like Zhong Jianguo.

The eyes of Erwa and Sanwa are slender, but not small. As a result, the three children were blown by the sea breeze, and the sun was a little dark, but they were not ugly at all.

Song Zhaodi's appearance in her previous life was not outstanding, and her facial features in this life are not too delicate. If she had a child with Zhong Jianguo, she would not necessarily be better-looking than the big three.

When Sanwa was ill, Song Zhaodi took him to the hospital, and saw that the equipment in the hospital was far behind that of the community health center in her previous life. Song Zhaodi once again made up her mind that having three children is enough. Whoever wants to give birth, she does not give birth anyway.

However, saying that goes a long way.

Song Zhaodi went to the kitchen and saw that there were two bowls of rice left in the pot, and immediately guessed that Zhong Jianguo, who couldn't cook, cooked too much. So, the family eats vegetables in the evening.

After the meal, the eldest child and the second child ran out to play. Song Zhaodi waited for Zhong Jianguo to clean up the pots and pans and said, "You look at the three of them tomorrow morning, and I will go to the non-staple food factory to buy something."

"Finally, my conscience found that I was willing to let me sleep a little longer." Zhong Jianguo said.

Song Zhaodi wanted to beat someone: "When I didn't say it. I'll take a bath with Sanwa."

Zhong Jianguo's heart skipped a beat, the joke was too big? Holding Sanwa in one hand and Song Zhaodi in the other: "I'll boil water for you, and you go upstairs to get a change of clothes."

Song Zhaodi kicked him in the leg, and the unsuspecting Zhong Jianguo stumbled before going upstairs.

Zhong Jianguo rubbed his legs and turned to Sanwa: "What happened to your mother? Son."

"Dad." Sanwa said, "Dad."

Zhong Jianguo laughed: "I know you will call Dad, I'm asking about your mother, not your father." Having said that, he heard the sound of going downstairs, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to boil water.

The next day, in the morning, Song Zhaodi went straight to the non-staple food factory, but she did not go directly, but went around to the dry goods counter from the other side.

Seeing that the woman behind the counter was Xiao Zhao, Song Zhaodi twitched the corners of her mouth and finally blocked you. When he got there, he asked, "Are there any fungus?"

"No." Xiao Zhao raised his eyelids and looked at Song Zhaodi, and said coldly.

Song Zhaodi tutted in her heart, thinking that fortunately, the non-staple food factory is a state-run unit. If it were a private unit, you would have been fired long ago. Not to mention marrying an officer, an ordinary soldier may not want you: "Where's the white fungus?"

"No." Xiao Zhao spit out two words lightly.

Song Zhaodi took a deep breath: "Cut two catties of kelp for me."

Xiao Zhao picked up the scissors and pulled out the kelp.

Song Zhaodi stared at her hands intently. Seeing that her hands were no different from her own, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she guessed wrong?

Zhong Jianguo dressed the three children, washed their faces, and put the rice on the stove to cook porridge. Song Zhaodi hadn't come back, and was inexplicably flustered: "Dad, did you three make Comrade Xiao Song angry yesterday?"

"No." Da Wa rubbed her stomach, "Dad, I'm hungry, when will I eat?"

Zhong Jianguo really wanted to give him a slap: "The first thing you say is to eat, do you know how to read the multiplication table?"

Zhong Dawa snorted, turned out the white wooden board on which the multiplication formula was written, and said, "Er Wa, come here and teach you to memorize the multiplication formula."

Zhong Jianguo had a headache: "Your brother is only four years old!"

"Four years old is very old." Zhong Dawa pointed at Erwa, "Come here, do you hear me?"

Instead of going over, Zhong Erwa raised her foot and ran to the door: "Mother, brother hit me."

Zhong Dawa was about to catch up, but when she heard Erwa's words, she subconsciously stopped and explained, "I didn't hit him."

"I saw you scare Erwa outside." Song Zhaodi took Erwa's hand and came in. "Zhong Dawa, I bought bones again today. If you dare to scare my brother again, I won't make bone soup noodles in the future."

Zhong Dawa pursed her lips and replied, "I won't scare him in the future." However, as soon as Song Zhaodi entered the room, Dawa glared at Erwa, and you wait for me.

"Zhong Dawa, come and make a fire, I'll cook." Song Zhaodi said coldly.

The big baby shivered with fright and ran into the kitchen quickly.

Zhong Jianguo laughed and went in: "Comrade Xiao Song, I was wrong yesterday."

A hint of surprise flashed in Song Zhaodi's eyes: "What's wrong?"

"You understand me and want to sleep a little longer in the morning. I shouldn't be ridiculing you for not knowing what to do." Zhong Jianguo didn't know what Song Zhaodi was angry about. If his apology would make Song Zhaodi feel relieved, then he would apologize.

Song Zhaodi snorted coldly: "Go to the non-staple food factory tomorrow morning, buy pork bones, and go to Xiao Zhao to buy some dried daylily."

"Dad, take my brother out, and I'll set the fire." Zhong Jianguo opened his mouth to ask, why didn't he buy it today? When he saw Song Zhaodi's serious expression, he moved his heart and sent the child out.

Song Zhaodi: "I suspect that there is something wrong with Xiao Zhao." Then she told Zhong Jianguo what Sister Chen told her, "A girl in her twenties is not like me who doesn't want to have children and does not want to serve her in-laws, so there is no need to keep an eye on her. An officer in his forties, right?"

"What if it's the same as you?" Zhong Jianguo asked rhetorically.

Song Zhaodi: "I really don't want to have children, so she should marry you. But has anyone mentioned Xiao Zhao to you?"

"No." Zhong Jianguo thought for a moment, "So it seems that Xiao Zhao really has a problem. Do you think Head Qian knows?"

Song Zhaodi was very sure: "I don't know. If Colonel Qian knew, he would never have dared to keep the letter Xiao Zhao wrote to him. If I had known this earlier, when Qian Qinghua was going to give me the letter, I should have opened it and read it. Look at Xiao Zhao's words."

"I'll handle this." Zhong Jianguo didn't wait until the next day. After breakfast, he went to the non-staple food factory.

In the evening, Zhong Jianguo didn't come back, and Song Zhaodi didn't think much about it. She closed the door of the eldest baby and the second baby's room, and took the third baby to sleep.

The next morning, Song Zhaodi opened her eyes and saw that the other half had not slept. Song Zhaodi was not too worried. After all, she was used to Zhong Jianguo walking away for several days, sometimes returning at dawn.

In the morning, when she was in English class, Song Zhaodi saw that the principal was in a hurry, she felt a little stunned, and ran to the office after class.

The Chinese teacher in the first year of junior high helped Song Zhaodi take care of Sanwa. Seeing that the other party did not take Sanwa over, Song Zhaodi asked, "What happened?"

"Mr. Yao was taken away by the military." Teacher Yuwen said, "The two captains in ordinary clothes didn't attract anyone's attention. Don't ask me how I know, I know one of them, and it's my man."

Song Zhaodi almost laughed, although this time is not suitable: "Mr. Yao will be fine."

"I know." The language teacher said, "She is so capable, so she won't be forced to divorce by Head Qian. Did Head Qian make a mistake and hurt her?"

Song Zhaodi: "I don't know either. Let's go to class, don't think about it too much, anyway, the teachers in our school will be fine." Having said that, when she persuaded her to leave, Song Zhaodi ran home with her three babies.

When he got home, no accident, Zhong Jianguo, who disappeared all day and night, was sleeping upstairs. Song Zhaodi hurriedly woke him up: "Is something wrong with the Qian family?"

"Understood?" Zhong Jianguo rubbed his eyes.

Song Zhaodi: "I saw that Teacher Yao was invited away."

"Routine inquiry." Zhong Jianguo said, "It has nothing to do with her. Don't ask other questions, I can't say."
