Chapter 45

Song Lainan's face flushed red, and he slapped her daughter's butt: "Have you never eaten anything? Shame!"

The little girl cried "Wow".

Erwa subconsciously moved to Dawa's side.

Song Zhaodi's second brother-in-law hurriedly picked up his daughter Du Tao and glared at Song Lainan: "She is so young and doesn't understand anything, why are you beating her up?" He glanced at Song Zhaodi while speaking, as if to say if you are such an aunt, you actually Comparing with niece.

Song Zhaodi twitched the corners of her mouth, and was about to speak, when Du Tao screamed and opened her throat to howl.

She was forced to swallow the words that came to her lips, Song Zhaodi almost choked, she simply patted the big baby and motioned him to take the second baby upstairs, then picked up the third baby, stabbed her mother's arm, and signaled her mother's father to go upstairs too. , let Du Tao cry hard downstairs.

Song Lainan saw this and stood up with his son in his arms.

Du Fang, who was holding Du Tao, got up subconsciously.

Seeing this, Song Zhaodi's eyes darkened, even though she understood that her mother brought Song Lai'an's family to recognize the family, so that when someone asked later, Song Lainan didn't know where her sister's house was.

But seeing Song Lainan's virtue, Song Zhaodi still wanted to scold her cheap parents.

However, the two old people have been in the car and boat for two days... Song Zhaodi took a deep breath: "Then let's all go up and see where we sleep at night."

Before Mother Song came, Song Zhaodi discussed with Zhong Dawa that he and Erwa would sleep on the upper floor of the bunk bed, and Du Tao, who was a few months older than Erwa, would sleep with her younger brother on the bottom.

Zhong Dawa believed that the children of the second aunt's family were as obedient as the two children of the aunt's family, so she agreed to let the lower floors go. Unexpectedly, the second aunt is different from the aunt, and the second aunt's daughter is still a "neuropathy".

So that as soon as Song Zhaodi got upstairs, Zhong Dawa couldn't wait to grab Song Zhaodi's arm and drag it into his room, pointing to the bunk bed and saying, "Mother, I regret it."

"Dad, didn't we agree?" Song Zhaodi wondered, "Men and gentlemen, keep your word."

Zhong Dawa snorted: "I'm not a husband, I'm a child. I don't care, she's not allowed to sleep in this bed." Pointing to Du Tao in Du Fang's arms.

"What's going on?" Mother Song didn't understand.

Song Zhaodi explained her original plan to Mother Song.

Mother Song saw Dawa puffing out her cheeks, and then looked at Du Tao who was humming and wiping her tears. After a little thought, she understood why Dawa went back and didn't like Du Tao.

Although the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, Song's mother couldn't like her only granddaughter. Because Du Tao was taught by Song Lainan and Du Ming to cry when she cried, and when she made trouble, she made trouble. Baby, there is a big bed in this room, and we sleep in this bed."

"Then where do we sleep?" Song Lainan said suddenly.

Song Zhaodi: "There is a bed in the guest room. My father and mother slept there last time we came here. The elder sister and elder brother-in-law's family of four slept on this bed." He pointed to the one-meter-two-wide bed against the west wall.

Song Lainan glanced at him: "That bed can sleep four people?"

"Liu Gen slept on her brother-in-law." Song Zhaodi didn't know how her eldest sister's family of four slept. After all, Song Laibao never complained about the narrow bed.

Mother Song: "If you are afraid that the bed is too narrow to sleep, ask Du Tao to sleep in this room with us at night."

Du Tao was around a half and a half, and a child so old in the countryside still slept with the elders. Song Lainan had no problem with this. He turned his head and said to his daughter, "Don't cry, and sleep with your grandma at night."

Du Tao ignored Song Lai-nan at all, hugged her dad's neck and continued to cry. Seeing her like this, Song Zhaodi knew that Song Lai Nan had said it in vain, and there was still trouble at night.

Song Zhaodi felt that children were troublesome in her previous life, and she loved Zhong Jianguo's children because she chose them, and they were extraordinarily sensible.

As for Du Tao, who cried as soon as she entered the door, if Song Lainan and Du Fafang were not in front of her, Song Zhaodi would have beaten her up long ago. She also made up her mind. When Du Tao was noisy at night, she threw people out: "Second sister, second brother-in-law, you go to the west room to rest. By the way, does Xiao Zhuang wet the bed at night? If you wet the bed, I will give you a few dollars. diaper."

"Give me a few more dollars." Song Lainan's youngest son is the same age as Zhong Sanwa, two months older than Sanwa. Because of seasickness, he is sitting motionless in Song Lainan's arms, "Xiao Zhuang's pants are wet. Now, you find me another pair of pants, and I'll put them on for him."

Zhong Dawa raised her head and asked, "Didn't you bring him clothes?"

Song Lai-nan choked: "It's in the bag, I'm too lazy to find it out."

"My mother is too lazy to look for it." Zhong Dawa is a temperamental child, even his father Zhong Jianguo dares to dislike it, so he is naturally not afraid of outsiders Song Lainan, "My brother doesn't have many clothes, if you put them on for your son, he won't have any. clothes."

Song Lainan took a breath: "You—"

"Second sister, Dawa's last sentence is right." Song Zhaodi interrupted him, "We need a ticket to buy everything here. We can't get cotton thread if we want to weave cloth and make clothes. There are not many children's clothes. Every season There are only two sets, and the clothes are not dry in the cloudy and rainy days, and the children have to sleep in the blankets with their bare bottoms."

Zhong Dawa nodded: "My mother is right."

Song Lainan opened his mouth.

"Second girl, go back to the house and rest." Mother Song said first.

Song Lai-nan snorted and carried his son back to the house.

The tall Du Fafang looked at his mother-in-law and then at his father-in-law, with a look of bewilderment.

Father Song waved his hand: "You also go back to the house for a while." When Song Lai'an's family of four entered the house, Father Song said, "Zhao Di—"

"Dad, you lie down with your mother for a while." Song Zhaodi said, "By the way, help me take care of the second and third babies, and the eldest baby and I will cook."

When Father Song saw this, he knew that she didn't want to say more, so he winked at Mother Song. Mother Song said, "I'm a child, how can I cook for you, I'll go downstairs with you."

"Then Erwa, can you accompany grandpa here?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Zhong Erwa didn't think about it, and shook her head vigorously.

Zhong Dawa raised his arm and whispered, "Upstairs, look at the house." Pointing to the west side house, "Look at them not taking our things."

Mother Song's expression changed slightly.

Song Zhaodi held back a smile: "Daddy, come down and help me take care of my brother."

"Okay." Zhong Dawa came out, seeing that the door of Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi's room was open, got into the room to find a lock, and locked the door on tiptoe.

Mother Song was breathing hard.

Song Zhaodi couldn't hold it any longer, she coughed lightly, suppressing the hilarious laughter that was waiting for her to exit: "Daddy, go."

Zhong Dawa tied the key to the key rope around her neck and jumped happily: "Come on, come on."

When Mother Song got downstairs, she couldn't help but say, "This child—"

"It's not to guard against you, it's to guard against my second sister." Song Zhaodi said, "Don't blame the child for this. My second sister has the same virtue as his grandma, and the big baby is scared."

Mother Song sighed: "I also know that your second sister is inconvenient, but she was also born to me, and I always feel that even if I love your eldest sister, I can't be too partial.

"You sent a total of 300 yuan to the family. Your father and I have saved some money over the years. We have a lot of money, so I thought about asking if you could give your second sister fifty. Look at you, I don't have to. asked."

"Second sister has no money?" Song Zhaodi washed her hands, scooped three scoops of white noodles, and put a scoop of bean noodles in the basin, planning to mix the noodles to make noodles.

Mother Song: "We were chatting on the train. She said that Du Tao was sick and spent several dollars last month, so I thought about giving her some."

"Mother, you don't have to feel sorry for the second sister." Song Zhaodi said, "The money I gave you is actually for the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law. I am far away, you have a headache, I didn't go there, and the eldest sister can only look after you. .

"The couple contributed money and efforts, but I can't do anything so I can give you a little more money. If you want to give money to the second sister, logically I shouldn't stop you. I will ask you, you are old in the future, second sister. Are you and your second brother-in-law serving you?"

"They have father-in-law and mother-in-law, how can they spare their hands to serve me and your father." Song mother said, stunned, and then sighed, "Dang mother didn't ask."

Song Zhaodi: "Mother, in fact, you shouldn't ask me, you should ask the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law. Think for yourself, if the eldest sister is the son and the eldest brother-in-law is the daughter-in-law, would you dare to secretly give the second sister money without telling the son and daughter-in-law? "

Mother Song told the truth: "Your second sister's life can't go on, I dare."

"In fact, the second brother-in-law's salary is higher than that of the eldest brother-in-law." Song Zhaodi said, and suddenly thought something was wrong, "The second brother-in-law asks for leave, the factory will deduct the salary? Then why did the second sister ask the second brother-in-law to come with her?"

Mother Song: "She said that you have been married to Zhong Jianguo for more than a year, and she, who is a sister, doesn't know what her sister's family is like. It's too outrageous."

"Do you believe this?" Song Zhaodi said without waiting for her to answer, "I don't believe it anyway. The second sister must have no purpose in coming here this time. I hope you and my father don't stop me when I quarrel with the second sister. "

Zhong Dawa hurriedly asked, "Mother, are you going to quarrel with that second aunt?"

"It's none of your business." Song Zhaodi said, "Don't mess around."

Zhong Dawa: "I can help you."

"But I don't need your help." Song Zhaodi stared at him and asked, "Zhong Dawa, do you look down on me?"

Zhong Dawa shook his head again and again: "If you don't help, you won't help." However, when Zhong Jianguo came back, Zhong Dawa took his father to the courtyard, pointed to the second floor and told Zhong Jianguo that the newly arrived second aunt's family were all Just like his grandmother.

Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi met Song Lainan on the day they got married. Although he only said two words to Song Lainan, Zhong Jianguo looked at her tone and small gestures, and saw that Song Lainan had the same virtue as Zhao Yin.

In the kitchen, while Mother Song went to wash her hands, Zhong Jianguo asked in a low voice, "Your second sister is not a good person."

"The good ones haven't come yet." Song Zhaodi said, "I'm afraid of causing trouble to our family, Song Dali's kid is thinking about the big baby, and the big sister didn't ask her mother to bring him."

Zhong Jianguo faintly heard the sound of going downstairs: "I'm here, how do I deal with it?"

"My mother's family, I can handle it myself." Song Zhaodi had high fighting spirit. However, when Du Tao asked her for a meeting ceremony, Song Zhaodi, who was smart and eloquent, was stunned, "What kind of meeting ceremony?"

Song Lainan, who came down later, said, "It's not about what your uncle wants, it's about what her uncle wants." Pointing to Zhong Jianguo who came out with a pair of chopsticks, "Our Du Tao saw her uncle Jianguo for the first time and planned to give it to our Du Tao. How much is the welcome gift?"

Song Zhaodi understood, and the co-author was here to "fight the autumn wind": "Dad, go and bring the second baby and the third baby over, kowtow to your second aunt and uncle, and say goodbye to the early years." Turning to Song Lainan, "Second brother-in-law, I heard you The salary is very high, how much money do you plan to give to our three children for the New Year?"

"This—" Du Fafang looked at Song Lai-nan, how much is appropriate?

Shit! Song Lai-nan glared at him: "Zhao Di, it's still half a month before the Chinese New Year, it's too early to say that the New Year's money is coming."

"It's not early at all." Song Zhaodi said, "As the saying goes, after Laba is the new year, today is the fourteenth of the twelfth lunar month, and six days have passed since Laba, I still think it's too late."

Zhong Jianguo held back a smile and said, "One size is one size. Second sister, second brother-in-law, it's the first time that my three children have seen you. We gave each other a greeting, and let's talk about how much money we will give."

"Cough!" Song Zhaodi slapped Zhong Jianguo on the shoulder, too bad, "Second sister, Jianguo is right."

Song Laimen's agency did all the calculations, but didn't count the "New Year's money": "You two are an officer and a teacher. You are richer than us, and you are a little worse than our meeting gift, New Year's money."

"Second sister, you said this wrong." Song Zhaodi pushed Zhong Jianguo and motioned him to serve the bowl, and then said, "Whether it's a meeting gift or New Year's money, it's all for the children.

"If you give a cent, the big baby doesn't think it's too little. If you give a piece, the big baby doesn't dare to think too much. As for giving more and less, it depends on how much my sister is in your heart."

Song Lainan blushed.

Father Song took the second baby and stood at the entrance of the stairs, watching the two sisters come and go, the second daughter, who was always eloquent, didn't get any advantage, so he couldn't help shaking his head: "Zhao Di, it's getting dark, Let's eat."

"Then let's talk after dinner." Song Zhaodi turned to serve the dishes.

Last winter, there was nothing to eat. Before the winter this year, Song Zhaodi planted vegetables in the yard that could survive the winter.

To make a pot of noodles, Song Zhaodi stir-fries three dishes, one cabbage, one lettuce and one green vegetable. Song Lainan was blocked by Song Zhaodi and was speechless, so he didn't say a word when he was eating.

Song Zhaodi knew her purpose, so she was not in a hurry. As long as she is willing to go out, Song Zhaodi thinks that Song Lai Nan should not want to escape from her for cheap.

The fact is also true. Song Lainan talked about his children, and Song Zhaodi called his three children to him. The eldest child was eight years old after the new year. He could almost understand what the adults said. He sang along with Song Zhaodi and almost vomited blood from Song Lai's masculinity.

Every night when she went to bed, Du Tao would clamor to sleep on Zhong Dawa's bunk bed, but Zhong Dawa was unwilling, and Song Zhaodi didn't tell Dawa that the visitor was a guest or something. Tell Song Lainan directly, take care of your daughter.

Song Lainan said, let her family Du Tao sleep for one night.

Song Zhaodi then said that Du Tao is a girl, and it would be shameful to sleep with the boy on the same bed. Zhong Jianguo agreed, Zhao Di was right.

There was nothing to do at first, the children were still young, and the couple was on the line like this, and Du Fafang, who always loved his daughter, also felt it was inappropriate, so he followed Song Zhaodi and said that it was indeed inappropriate for a little girl to sleep with a boy.

Song Lainan said, let Du Tao sleep on the second floor alone.

Song Zhaodi didn't even think about it, she just said that as long as you're not afraid of your daughter rolling down in the middle of the night, whatever.

Song Lainan said, asking Zhong Dawa and Zhong Erwa to sleep on the upper floor.

Zhong Dawa said coldly, don't sleep!

Song Lai-nan choked.

For the first two days, Song mother and Song father looked at the two daughters and wanted to persuade them. Later, seeing that the two daughters were defeated and defeated repeatedly, they were too lazy to persuade them.

On the fifth day of the second month of the solar calendar, the weather was fine, so Mother Song told Song Zhaodi that they would go back tomorrow.

In a few days, the Chinese New Year will be over, and Song Zhaodi didn't keep them any more. After all, when they got home, they had to prepare things for the New Year, and they had to secretly burn paper money for their ancestors' graves.

On the 6th of February, in the morning, Song Zhaodi bought two packs of things to send away to her family. When she got home, she slumped on the bench and sighed deeply: "It's time to leave."

"Mother..." Zhong Dawa wiped her tears and came downstairs.

Song Zhaodi was shocked and sat up straight like a conditioned reflex: "What's wrong?"

"My book is gone..." Zhong Dawa said, tears rolling down one by one.
