Chapter 28
Song Zhaodi was very happy: "Did I ask you?"
Zhong Jianguo choked: "It's useless for you to provoke me."
"Sanwa, ask your dad to lead you to play." Song Zhaodi put the child on the bed, walked out without waiting for Zhong Jianguo to speak, and went downstairs with the cloth she bought earlier.
Zhong Jianguo followed, saw what she was holding in her arms, sighed, and carried Sanwa back to the room: "Son, sleep with Dad for a while." After speaking, Sanwa lay on the bed.
A child's habit is to sleep for an hour or two after lunch. He was in good spirits in the morning and didn't want to lie down, so he pushed away Zhong Jianguo's hand, rolled over and sat up and shouted, "Dad, Daddy."
Zhong Jianguo hadn't closed his eyes all night, and was so sleepy at the moment. With a hmmm, he stretched out his hand and wrapped Sanwa around his arms, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Sanwa hooked her head and looked outside, then looked at her father who ignored him, frowned for a while, and supported Zhong Jianguo's body to stand up, crossed his arm, and moved to the bedside. The child found that he was very high off the ground, thought for a moment, sat down on the bed, then lay down on the bed and slowly moved down.
thump!
Zhong Jianguo sat up in shock.
"Wow...wow..."
Sanwa's cry came from the ground.
Zhong Jianguo rubbed his forehead, stretched out his hand to pick up his son, and said helplessly, "I asked you to sleep with Dad for a while, but you didn't listen. You fell in pain. Let's go, Dad will carry you to find your mother."
Zhong Jianguo pulled his shoes downstairs. When the child saw Song Zhaodi, he stretched out his hand: "Mother..."
Song Zhaodi's hand trembled, the scissors almost poked her hand, and she quickly asked, "What did Sanwa call me just now?"
"Mother..." Sanwa looked at Song Zhaodi pitifully with tears in her eyes.
She should have been very moved, but Song Zhaodi saw that the child's snot came out from crying, and she wanted to laugh inexplicably: "You are really just like your brother, you only find a mother when you have something, and a stepmother when you have nothing." Then she looked at Zhong Jianguo, "What's the matter? thing?"
"I fell off the bed and my butt was on the ground. It's nothing serious." The bench at Zhong's house was 1.8 meters long. Zhong Jianguo simply lay on the bench and didn't go upstairs. I'll get some sleep."
Song Zhaodi glanced at him: "You really don't plan to tell me?"
"I want to tell you too, but I have to be disciplined." Zhong Jianguo said, "Song Zhaodi, don't try to force my child into submission."
Song Zhaodi snorted: "I can guess without saying it. Is Xiao Zhao from the other side?"
"Do you think she looks like her?" Zhong Jianguo asked deeply.
When Song Zhaodi was talking, she was looking for a towel to wipe Sanwa's nose and tears, but she didn't hear what Zhong Jianguo said: "It's not like. She looks normal, but it doesn't match her behavior." After thinking for a while, "Could it be an internship? pregnancy?"
"Intern?" Zhong Jianguo didn't quite understand.
Song Zhaodi: "It's still in the inspection period, and I haven't officially started my job."
"Hey!" Zhong Jianguo was speechless, "You really can think of words. But, no!"
Song Zhaodi pondered while walking with Sanwa in her arms: "It's not like a regular worker, nor an intern? Could it be...a temporary worker!" After speaking, she turned to Zhong Jianguo.
Zhong Jianguo's mouth opened slightly, obviously not expecting Song Zhaodi's reaction so fast.
Seeing this, Song Zhaodi smiled: "Captain Zhong, why don't you say it? Let me guess, there are relatives of Xiao Zhao on the island, so it is true that Xiao Zhao is from Hangcheng.
"Xiao Zhao dared to let others know that there are relatives of her on the island, which also means that she 'everything can't be told to others'. So she is an ordinary person found on the other side, and she doesn't need to take risks to seek information and tell what she knows. When she goes online, the other party will give her a sum of money. She has a relationship with her upline, right?"
"You don't plan to continue pretending?" Zhong Jianguo asked rhetorically.
Song Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "Since I told you all about it that night, I haven't pretended anymore, and have been just myself. I don't know what Captain Zhong's pretense means?"
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, don't pretend to be stupid, I have time to waste with you." Zhong Jianguo put his hands on his pillow, "Since you have guessed it all, and Xiao Zhao was reported by you again, I will not hide it from you.
"The main force of the East China Sea Fleet has not yet moved to Wengzhou, and Lao Jiang has already received the news. When Lao Jiang's people came to visit Xiao Zhao, the other party saw that Xiao Zhao was lazy and greedy, so he gave her fifty yuan. Qian, ordered Xiao Zhao to please the officer's wife and get useful information."
Song Zhaodi: "It's still the wife of an officer above the company commander."
"Yes." Zhong Jianguo said, "Xiao Zhao feels that everyone is the same, why should she please others, so she plans to be an officer's wife. She told her plan to the person who gave her the money, and the person said If she can marry a regimental commander-level officer, give her five hundred yuan."
Song Zhaodi: "Xiao Zhao's monthly salary seems to be around 20 yuan, and 500 yuan is a huge sum of money for her. No wonder Head Lin ignores her, and she focuses on Head Qian again. That's right. , Headmaster Qian doesn't know about it, right?"
"I don't know." Zhong Jianguo said, "However, their family can't be on the front line anymore. Captain Qian has military merit, and he has no substantial relationship with Xiao Zhao, so he may be transferred to a remote area."
Song Zhaodi: "Even if he was transferred to the Northwest, he did it himself. Now he shouldn't dare to divorce Teacher Yao."
"If he hadn't been arguing for a divorce and stayed with Xiao Zhao for a while, their whole family would have been implicated by him." Zhong Jianguo said.
Song Zhaodi didn't care about what happened to the head of Qian's family in the future: "He's gone, what about the soldiers under him?"
"Last night there was an overnight meeting, and the old horse took his seat." Zhong Jianguo said, "It's Ma Zhenxing's father. On the day you arrived on the island, you drove our Ma Zhonghua."
Song Zhaodi couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Why is he?"
"What happened to him?" Zhong Jianguo was puzzled.
Song Zhaodi: "I don't like it."
"It's not your regimental commander, do you like it or not?" Zhong Jianguo was speechless, thinking she found something wrong, "Lao Ma has a little problem, but he still has the ability to lead troops, and their regiment only has He's the best fit."
"Stepmother, why didn't you wait for us today?"
The big baby's voice suddenly came in, and Song Zhaodi swallowed the words she needed to say: "My brother is sleepy. Your father is very tired. You watch your brother. I'm going to cook, so don't disturb your father's rest."
"Okay." Da Wa put the pen and workbook on the table. Erwa walked towards Song Zhaodi, raised her head and said, "Mother, I want to drink wheat milk essence."
Song Zhaodi wanted to hit someone.
Zhong Jianguo rejoiced: "It's really a mother who has milk." She glanced at Song Zhaodi and saw that she was not angry, but she was quite helpless and twitched her lips, "Your mother cooks quickly, waiting to eat. If you are thirsty, drink some water first. ."
"Don't drink water." Erwa pouted, "I just want to drink wheat milk essence."
Zhong Jianguo said with an expressionless face, "Then just wait for your meal."
Zhong Jianguo was not at home this morning, so Song Zhaodi watched the three children and did not go to the non-staple food factory to buy vegetables. There wasn't much food in the kitchen, so Song Zhaodi went to the vegetable garden to make vegetables after reconciling the noodles.
Seeing Song Zhaodi's actions, Zhong Dawa whispered, "I'm making green vegetables again."
"When your mother was here, I made green vegetables every day, and I didn't see you dislike it." Several children were talking from time to time, Zhong Jianguo couldn't sleep and didn't open his eyes, "Dad, don't you like this stepmother?"
Zhong Dawa said without hesitation, "No!"
"Don't lie to Dad." Zhong Jianguo said, "If you don't like it, let's change it."
Song Zhaodi heard this sentence when she entered the door. Out of the corner of the eye, Dawa saw his stepmother and took Sanwa's hand, "Brother, brother will take you out to play."
As soon as Sanwa heard it, she screamed excitedly and pointed her little finger outside.
"Really not?" Zhong Jianguo deliberately asked in a disappointed tone.
Zhong Dawa looked at the stepmother who was expressionless and seemed very angry, then looked at her father who was too lazy to open her eyes, and grinned, "Dad, who do you want to change?"
"There's a female doctor in the hospital. I think she's pretty good." Zhong Jianguo said, "She's gentle, she's quite white, your stepmother is a black-faced Bao Gong compared to her, and I heard that she is also very good at cooking. The most important thing is Yes, you don't have to go to the hospital when you get sick in the future, she can treat you at home."
Zhong Dawa looks like a child in front of Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi, but he is not too young. The six-year-old child is already a big child outside, and he knows more things than adults know: "Dad likes that doctor aunt?"
"I like it." Zhong Jianguo yawned and continued, "Dad, this is the last chance. If you still insist on not changing, if you don't listen to your stepmother in the future, Dad won't talk nonsense with you, just beat up."
Zhong Dawa looked at Song Zhaodi, who still had no expression on her face, and pulled the third baby and pushed the second baby: "Let's go, hurry up!"
Zhong Jianguo thought to himself, after walking well, I can finally sleep for a while. With a pain in his ear, his dazed head instantly awoke, and he suddenly opened his eyes, "Song, Song—"
"Send me away?" Song Zhaodi asked with a half-smile.
Zhong Jianguo ignored that his ears were in the hands of the "enemy" and turned to the other side. There were three sons on the bench, "This damn Zhong is strong!"
"Female doctor, a fair-skinned beauty is gentle, right?" After Song Zhaodi finished speaking, Zhong Jianguo's ears turned in a circle, and he gritted his teeth, "When are you going to marry me? When are you going to divorce me?"
Zhong Jianguo was able to become the head of the regiment at a young age, not only by his high education, but also by his high IQ and emotional intelligence. He knew that at this time, even if he explained that he deliberately frightened the baby, it was useless, so he said: "In the hospital The youngest female doctor is in her early thirties, and everyone is married. The person I'm talking about doesn't exist."
"Not now, how about one in two years?" Song Zhaodi knew that Zhong Jianguo was frightening the child. There was such a person in the hospital, and Zhong Jianguo didn't have to go to Xiao Song Village to find her.
If she heard correctly, Zhong Jianguo mentioned "the last time", which means that he mentioned it before, maybe more than once. When she thought that she was busy serving the Zhong family, but they thought of replacing her, Song Zhaodi was so angry that her stomach hurt.
Zhong Jianguo really wanted to give himself a slap, but instead of sleeping on the good bed above, he had to sleep on the hard chair downstairs. Go to sleep and go to sleep, with so many words: "Zhao Di, Xiao Song, don't worry, even if I get ten gentle and beautiful female doctors, I won't change it."
"What?" Song Zhaodi asked knowingly.
Zhong Jianguo blurted out: "Of course, I won't replace the child's mother, and I won't replace you."
"It's like you can replace me if you want to." Song Zhaodi exerted force on her hand, Zhong Jianguo gasped, Song Zhaodi let go, snorted coldly, and went to the kitchen to cook.
Zhong Jianguo wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "Women really can't be messed with."
"What?" The eldest child and the second child took a nap after eating, and then went to school. Song Zhaodi was so busy cooking that he didn't bother with him, yet he dared to mumble.
Zhong Jianguo rolled over and sat up: "I said that the chair is really fucked up, I'll go upstairs to sleep." Without waiting for Song Zhaodi to speak, he pulled his shoes and ran upstairs.
Song Zhaodi was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Coward!"
The next day, Song Zhaodi went to the school and heard several teachers say that Mr. Yao had delivered the textbook yesterday afternoon. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still surprised—too fast.
After class, Song Zhaodi went to the non-staple food factory, where she saw a middle-aged woman handling the dry goods counter, and went to the pork stall: "Xiao Zhao asked for leave again?"
"Little Zhao quit." The man who looked at the pork stall said, "The director said that Xiao Zhao thinks that the salary is low." Before Song Zhaodi could talk to him, he continued, "Just as she is so lazy, I will give her one hundred per month. The dollars are not enough for her to eat."
Song Zhaodi thought to herself, she couldn't spend so much money: "She doesn't marry an officer?"
"She's twenty-three, and she's not a young girl. She wants to marry. Who can look up to her." The man who sold pork was full of ridicule, and his face that was not good-looking was even more ugly.
Naturally, Song Zhaodi would not refute a man who treats her family well for the sake of someone who was instigated: "Listen to you, you don't like Xiao Zhao very much?"
"It's not that we don't like her. Everyone is a worker in a non-staple food factory, and everyone is equal, but when we go to buy something, she just ignores it. Head Zhong or Head Qian walked over, and she laughed until her gums came out. "The murloc man continued, "I've never seen such a snob."
Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "When I go shopping, she also likes to ignore me. I thought she didn't like me, but I didn't expect everyone to be the same."
"She ignored you?" The man who bought pig's trotters widened his eyes.
The woman selling live chickens didn't allow Song Zhaodi to open her mouth and said, "I know, when Teacher Xiao Song went to buy kelp last time and turned around to leave, Xiao Zhao rolled his eyes at Teacher Xiao Song. When Teacher Song said this, I remembered it, and I read it right."
When a person like Xiao Zhao ends up, he has to shed a layer of skin even if he doesn't die. Liu Ling, who lived in a peaceful era, thought about such a person. Because she suffered a serious crime, she might lose her life. Even if she knew that Xiao Zhao was to blame, she felt a little uncomfortable.
When the voice of the eldest sister who sold live chicken fell, Song Zhaodi felt much more relaxed, with a smile on her eyes: "I guess she is jealous of my good work and high salary."
"Your high salary is earned by your ability. What is there to envy? There is nothing to envy." An old man who picked fish said, "I heard my grandson say that Teacher Xiao Song teaches English in the first year of junior high school, is it true that he doesn't follow the class? ?"
Song Zhaodi nodded: "The elementary schools here don't have English classes, so I teach the first-year students in order to lay a solid foundation for them." After a pause, "Master, who are you?"
"The younger brother of Deputy Commander Wu, come here to take care of his grandson." The old man said, "His grandson is also my grandson."
Song Zhaodi thought to herself, what about your grandson? As soon as he spoke, he noticed that the old man was one-armed and had a straight waist, as if he had been a soldier for many years. Is your name Wu Zhiyong?"
"Mr. Song knows?" The old man was surprised.
Song Zhaodi wanted to laugh: "Master, he is my student, I must know him."
"Then can you follow the class?"
Song Zhaodi: "It doesn't matter what I said, you have to listen to the principal."
"That's right." The old man was no longer staring at Song Zhaodi.
Song Zhaodi was afraid that she would meet a relative of the commander or a relative of the political commissar later, so she would go to the school after leaving the non-staple food factory for any reason.
In the afternoon, Song Zhaodi changed the clothes of Dawa and Erwa last year into shorts and vests. After the three sets of shorts and vest are changed, it is time to make dinner.
Looking at the curling smoke rising from all around, Song Zhaodi's mind inexplicably came up with a sentence, the years are quiet and the world is stable.
Boom!
When Song Zhaodi came back to her senses, she saw Zhong Jianguo driving the car and knocking open the door. Suddenly nothing was good, and she wanted to curse, "Can't you come down and open the door?"
"I see that the door is not latched." Zhong Jianguo jumped out of the car and took out the eldest baby and the second baby.
Song Zhaodi took a deep breath: "Why did you drive back by yourself, Xiao Li?"
"I'm sick." Zhong Jianguo said, "A dignified soldier can actually get sick." It was incredible.
Song Zhaodi was incredible: "Xiao Li is a man, not a man of steel."
"I've never been sick." Zhong Jianguo said smoothly.
Song Zhaodi snorted: "Because you are not human!"
"You're not human!" Zhong Jianguo stared, "Why are you still cursing?"
"Dad, stepmother, you two will argue later." Zhong Dawa has a headache and frowns, "My brother is scared by you."
Song Zhaodi followed his line of sight, but she saw Sanwa sitting on the crib with a confused expression: "He was scared by your dad hitting the door." After speaking, regardless of her man or child, she turned around and went back to the kitchen to cook. meal.
Zhong Jianguo pouted: "Son, remember, don't reason with women in the future, because you can't tell women clearly."
"Dad, why isn't the stepmother afraid of you?" Zhong Dawa didn't understand, "Mom is afraid of you, grandma is also afraid of you, and grandma seems to be afraid of you, why is only the stepmother not afraid?" After thinking about it, "you seem to be afraid of the stepmother."
A trace of discomfort flashed across Zhong Jianguo's face: "I'm not afraid of her, I'm letting her."
"Then why don't you let my mother?" Zhong Dawa asked.
Zhong Jianguo's eyes flashed: "Have I scolded your mother or beat her? Neither. Then how can you tell that I didn't let your mother?"
"I feel it." Zhong Dawa blurted out.
Zhong Jianguo took a breath: "I still feel like I want to hit you, do you want to try?"
"It will bully me." The big baby ran behind Sanwa's cot in three or two steps, "Go beat the stepmother if you have the ability."
Zhong Erwa smiled and said, "Dad dare not!"
Zhong Jianguo took a deep breath and pointed at his two sons: "You two are trying to irritate me. Be careful to make me mad. The stepmother will find a stepfather for you and beat you three times a day."
"Zhong Jianguo, if you're okay, come and set fire to me." Song Zhaodi's voice came from the kitchen.
The eldest child and the second child said in unison, "Dad, daddy, let's go."
Zhong Jianguo is not going, nor is not going. After hesitating for a while, he walked to Dawa's side, Zhong Jianguo raised his hand and said, "Go make a fire!"
Da Wa stepped on his feet before running to the kitchen.
In the training this afternoon, Zhong Jianguo also participated. His clothes were covered in mud. He simply sat on the ground and faced Erwa: "You guys are getting more and more courageous."
"I'm timid." Erwa said and stepped back.
Zhong Jianguo stretched out his long arms and encircled his son: "Erwa—"
"Captain Zhong, is Teacher Song at home?"
Zhong Jianguo looked back: "Mr. Yao, Xiao Song is cooking in the house."
"I'm going to call Mother." Erwa broke off his father's arm and ran into the house, "Mother, father is going to hit me."
