Chapter 51

The woman runs away.

"Wait." Song Zhaodi suddenly thought, "If you dare to tell me what happened tonight, once it reaches my ears, I will immediately come and kill you." After a pause, he took a deep breath, "Shencheng has relatives from my family, These two children also know where your home is, don't think I scare you."

The woman shook her head again and again: "No, don't say it. I... can I go?"

"Go away!" Song Zhaodi spit out a word coldly.

The woman synchronised her hands and feet and hurried away.

Song Zhaodi sat on the ground at once: "I'm exhausted." Taking a deep breath, she put the brick on the ground and rubbed her cold hands.

Immediately, Song Zhaodi felt someone staring at her, looked up, and the two children stared at her, frowning slightly, "What do I do? Quickly take out the thick clothes and put them on, and go to the hostel later."

"Are you a soldier under Uncle Zhao?" a tall boy asked.

Song Zhaodi: "I'm a teacher in the school for the children of the army. I haven't been back to my parents' house for two years. Your Uncle Zhao knew that I was passing through Shencheng when I went back, so he asked me to pick you up."

"So are we going to Uncle Zhao's house?" the tall boy continued to ask.

Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows. When Commander Zhao entrusted the two children to others, he must have explained to the two children that he could not go to his house. How could this child ask?

"No." Song Zhaodi said, "You go back to your mother's house with me first. If people on the island ask questions later, you will say that you are from Binhai City. I picked you up at Binhai Railway Station." You live in our house. My house is on the island, very close to your Uncle Zhao's house, but there are many people on the island, so you can't go to Commander Zhao."

The eyes of the two boys lit up, and they asked in unison, "Do you know that Uncle Zhao is the commander?"

"I know." Song Zhaodi said, stunned, "That woman doesn't know?"

The two brothers shook their heads.

Song Zhaodi wondered: "Does her man know?"

"I don't know if he knows." A tall boy said, "He called Uncle Zhao, the head."

Song Zhaodi understood: "It seems that her man used to be your Uncle Zhao's soldier." He stood up on the ground, "Let's go, go to the hostel. If you stay here, it will be dawn. Give me the package."

The child subconsciously handed the bag out. When the bag was handed out, he realized that there was still a roll of money in his hand, he wanted to give it to Song Zhaodi, and he hesitated at the thought of the woman who had just left.

Song Zhaodi was very afraid that the woman would yell and scare the woman, she was actually very guilty, and she relied on all her strength to support her. Now that relax, can't help but feel scared. It's very dark, so don't notice the hesitant look on the child's face.

Picking up the brick, Song Zhaodi asked, "What's your name?"

"Uncle Zhao didn't say anything?" The tall little boy stuffed the money into his sleeve.

Song Zhaodi: "I came too quickly, I forgot to say."

"Uncle Zhao said my name is Zili, and my brother's name is Gengsheng." The tall boy said, "I'm nine years old, and my brother is seven years old."

Does that mean the name has changed?

It seemed that Zhong Jianguo was so anxious that he deliberately asked her to pick him up when it was dark. Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows, she wouldn't receive a pair of hot potatoes.

"My man's name is Zhong Jianguo, and you will follow his surname in the future." Song Zhaodi said, "My name is Song Zhaodi. When someone asks, you say that I am the mother and he is the father. If you ask where your original home is, you will say that you forgot. Anyone who asks will say so. By the way, are your dad and your mom still alive?"

Zili pursed his lips: "Dead."

"When I didn't ask." Song Zhaodi handed the brick to Zi Li, "Hold it."

Self-reliance subconsciously asked, "Do you still want?"

"Of course." Song Zhaodi said, her eyes widened, "Don't you think I found this brick specially to scare that woman? It's dark at midnight, and I've been carrying it with me for self-defense."

"No wonder..." Zi Li couldn't help but say, "I thought you would change."

Song Zhaodi smiled: "I'm not Sun Wukong, I can take things from the air and change seventy-two."

The Peace Hotel was one kilometer away from the guest house. Due to the dark sky, Song Zhaodi, in case someone with bad intentions suddenly appeared, walked for nearly 20 minutes before arriving at the guest house.

When Mrs. Duan made a reservation, she told the counter that there were five children and two adults, and the other three would arrive later.

Song Zhaodi went in with self-reliance and rehabilitation, and gave the receptionist the certificate issued by the army.

When the receptionist saw that she was also a military sister-in-law, she brought her children back to her hometown to visit relatives. She was very enthusiastic and personally brought Song Zhaodi to the door of the room.

Sister-in-law Duan was shocked when she heard the knock on the door, and quickly opened the door. Seeing that there was a waiter at the door, she swallowed her words and complained, "Why did you three come here? Come in quickly." Guan When I came to the door, I couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice, "Is something wrong?"

"It's okay." Song Zhaodi said, "Auntie, is there any hot water?"

Sister-in-law Duan: "The receptionist will give us two bottles." Pointing to the two beds that were joined together, "I figured that two beds can't sleep seven people, so I put the beds together and we sleep sideways."

Song Zhaodi looked over and said, "All three children are asleep?"

"I was going to wait for you to come back." Sister Duan said, "I washed their faces and feet, and they couldn't support them lying on the bed."

Song Zhaodi sat beside the bed and rested: "Then you pour some more water, help, help the self-reliance and rejuvenation to wash, I'll give them something to drink."

"Okay, okay." Sister-in-law Duan asked the two children to sit on the bed and take off their shoes while pouring water.

Song Zhaodi smelled milk in the porcelain jar, and guessed that it was drunk by several children. In the middle of the night, she was too lazy to go out to brush. She poured the boiling water into the tank and put it by the window, and went to pack the two children's packages.

Opening the package, Song Zhaodi saw two white shirts without a patch on them. Song Zhaodi froze in her heart, the identities of these two children are very unusual.

"Can I put your clothes together with ours?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Self-reliance: "Yes."

Song Zhaodi threw all her clothes on the bed and realized that something was wrong: "You don't have cotton coats?"

Gengsheng pointed to himself.

"How can this dress resist freezing." Sister-in-law Zhong was undressing Zi Li, and she felt the thin cotton coat. She was about to ask Song Zhaodi to find the thick clothes of the two children, when she realized what Song Zhaodi asked, her face changed suddenly, "You two. No thick clothes?!"

Gengsheng shook his head.

"My God." Sister Duan sighed and asked quickly, "Zhao Di, who sent them here?"

Song Zhaodi said: "A very pretty woman. However, she is almost like my cousin, she is quite unconscionable." After a pause, "Auntie, let them lie on the bed first, and take out the baby's clothes tomorrow for them to change. Go, it's about the same height anyway."

"Then you have to discuss it with the eldest baby." Sister Duan said, "Your boss has a right idea. If you don't negotiate well, he can make a mess."

Song Zhaodi snorted: "I still need to be beaten."

Self-reliance and rehabilitation shuddered.

Sister-in-law Duan hurriedly asked, "Is it cold? Quickly go to the bed." As she spoke, she picked up the two children's clothes and wiped their feet, then tucked the two children under the bed, and did not forget to explain, "The three of them are separated. It's the eldest baby, the second baby, and the third baby, yes, the three children of your aunt."

"Auntie, don't call me auntie, call me mother." Song Zhaodi repeated what she said to the two children before, "don't make a mistake, the place where we first met was Binhai Railway Station."

Sister-in-law Duan sighed: "Write it down. How can it be like the underground organization joint before."

"The environment now is similar to that time." Song Zhaodi said, picked up the porcelain jar and placed it by the window for a while, feeling that the water inside was not hot, she scooped four spoons of milk powder into it and handed it to Zi Li, "Keep it for my brother. half."

Zili held a porcelain jar and took a sip and gave it to his brother.

Song Zhaodi hurriedly stopped him: "You can't give him too much to drink, he's too much to wet the bed at night."

The reborn little face turned slightly red, and pushed the porcelain jar to his brother.

Song Zhaodi stared at the expressions of the two children, and found that they were not curious about milk at all. She really wanted to arrest Zhong Jianguo now and ask them clearly which grandson these two children were.

Unfortunately, Zhong Jianguo was far away on Wengzhou Island, and Song Zhaodi was also very sleepy. After the two children finished drinking, they took off their cotton-padded clothes and put their arms around Sanwa to sleep.

The next morning, Song Zhaodi woke up and opened the curtains to find the sun was out. She was not in a hurry at all. She patted Sister-in-law Duan, and whispered, "Auntie, you are taking care of the children in the house. I will go to the state-run restaurant to buy some food and leave it for us to eat on the way. ."

"Be careful." Sister Duan got up, "Don't worry."

Song Zhaodi nodded: "I know." After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went to ask the waiter where she could buy food.

After nine o'clock, Song Zhaodi came back with a bag.

Sister-in-law Duan took a look and said in surprise, "Why did you buy so many?"

"A lot?" Song Zhaodi shook her head, "There are so many children, I think I can eat half of them in one meal this morning." Saying this, she woke the eldest baby.

Zhong Dawa sat up, rubbed her eyes and found that there were two more people on the bed. After taking a closer look, the two of them are white and clean, and they are obviously not from the same family. Except for his father, their family is all wheat-colored: "Mother, who are they?"

"Self-reliance and rebirth." Song Zhaodi woke up the other four "slackers", and while the children were eating, Song Zhaodi explained it again, and then said to Dawa, "You and Erwa's clothes are lent first. Brother and brother, can you wear it for a few days?"

Zhong Dawa took a bite of the oil cake, swallowed it twice, and then said, "They are already dressed." She glanced at Song Zhaodi, "I only ask now."

Song Zhaodi was delighted, and peeled an egg and handed it to him: "It's a good look." Noticing the two new members with beautiful eyes stopped, he smiled, "The big baby has no other meaning. He is a small talker and doesn't complain. Two words are not happy."

"Mother, I'm not a talker." Zhong Dawa said seriously, "I'll be very angry if you say that to me."

Sister-in-law Duan shook her head and laughed: "Dad, the pancake is cold."

Zhong Dawa hurriedly lowered her head to eat the pancake.

Song Zhaodi sighed helplessly, packed up her food, and packed two large bags. Counting the bags carried by Sister-in-law Duan, three bags and five children, even an adult would not be able to take care of them.

Song Zhaodi took out the rope borrowed from the fishermen. Afraid of self-reliance and rebirth, Song Zhaodi first tied a rope on Zhong Dawa's hand.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Zhong Dawa was puzzled.

Song Zhaodi: "There are so many people at the train station, I'm afraid you will get lost. Erwa, stretch out your hand." After tying it around Erwa's hand, she said, "Self-reliance and rebirth, give me your hands too."

"That's a good idea." Sister-in-law Duan couldn't help but sighed, "I was still worried when I slept last night, what to do with so many children. It's still different after going to college, Zhao Di, your brain is really lively."

Self-reliant and more vigorous raised his head. The shy inner rebirth gave his brother a wink. Self-reliance asked: "Auntie is a college student?"

"Yes." Sister Duan said, "Dad's father is also a college student. On our island, only the two of them are college students."

Song Zhaodi's hand paused: "Auntie, do you think that because Zhong Jianguo and I are both college students, Commander Zhao entrusted these two children to us?"

"I don't know." Sister-in-law Duan said, "I guess Commander Zhao sent someone to check when he was looking for a home for these two children. Maybe it was because he found that you were in charge of Teacher Yao and burned those clothes of unknown origin. He was relieved to hand over the two children to you."

Song Zhaodi thought about it carefully, but there is such a possibility: "Don't say it, go to the train station first, and try to get home in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

In this era, every household has several children. Song Zhaodi and Sister-in-law Duan led the five children on the road without attracting attention.

After getting on the train, Song Zhaodi asked the children to take off their shoes and wrapped the children's hands and feet with the thin cotton trousers and cotton-padded clothes that had been taken off from independence and rehabilitation, and went all the way to Binhai City.

There were too many children, and Song Zhaodi didn't go to Zhongwei's country either. She planned to go again when she went back.

Sooner or later, Zhong Weiguo and his wife could be seen, and the eldest child didn't make trouble.

At about five o'clock, it was getting dark, and Song Zhaodi and his party went to Xiaosong Village.

When Song Zhaodi appeared at the entrance of the village, the villagers watched and ordered to ask her why she came back suddenly.

Song Zhaodi said to come back and have a look.

The villagers asked, where did so many children come from.

Song Zhaodi directly said that they were all sons of Zhong Jianguo.

The five children looked different, and the villagers didn't believe it.

Relying on the fact that the villagers did not know how many children Zhong Jianguo had and were too lazy to explain the adoption process, Song Zhaodi insisted that all five children belonged to Zhong Jianguo.

The old man who used to join the army asked if Zhong Jianguo's comrade-in-arms died, and Zhong Jianguo adopted him.

orphan

Song Zhaodi continued to say no.

The villagers of Xiaosong Village were skeptical, and those who had good things asked Song Zhaodi if Zhong Jianguo was married.

Song Zhaodi didn't care, she said that Zhong Jianguo's previous wife had died.

When the villagers saw Song Zhaodi, their eyes changed instantly. A dignified college student actually filled the house for others?

But when they heard a child calling Song Zhaodi's mother, and saw a child pulling Song Zhaodi's arm, as if Song Zhaodi was their mother, the villagers of Xiaosong Village were not sure whether Song Zhaodi's words were true.

The next morning, Song's mother came out with the sheep, and Goudan's mother blocked her and asked, "What's the matter with Zhaodi in your family? Zhong Jianguo really married a wife before, and left five children?"

"Why do you want to ask so much?" Mother Song asked back.

Dog Dan's mother swallowed, "I'm curious."

"I said yes, do you believe it?" Mother Song continued to ask.

Goudan's mother pouted: "The five children are obviously not born by the same mother. It's strange to believe you." After a pause, she asked in a low voice, "Are they adopted orphans?"

"No." Mother Song said, "it's Zhong Jianguo's child."

Seeing that Goudan's mother couldn't ask, she pouted, "I can guess that the one named Dawa must be Zhong Jianguo's son, who looks very similar to Zhong Jianguo.

"I'm not sure about the remaining four. But I know that they are definitely not Zhong Jianguo's seed." After a pause, "sister-in-law, did your family Zhao Di not know that Zhong Jianguo had children when they got married?"

"I know." Mother Song didn't want the villagers to know that Zhong Jianguo was married. However, Song Zhaodi's marriage to a second-married man is nothing compared to Song Lai's stealing things. "Jianguo told us Zhaodi that Zhaodi agreed to marry because of good treatment in the army. Zhaodi also told me yesterday when he came back. , her salary is equivalent to that of Noble and Liu Yang."

Goudan's mother opened her eyes wide: "Fifty or sixty dollars? My God, it's no wonder your family Zhao Di is willing to marry him."

There is a saying, marry a Han, marry a Han, dress and eat.

When rural people marry their daughters, few people care whether their daughters like the man or not. As long as the man's conditions are good, and the daughter will not suffer when she marries, most parents will decide for their children and marry them off.

Goudan's mother has experienced years of famine, and she also believes that a man's good looks are not as good as wages and family conditions. Hearing that Song Zhaodi has so much salary, she instantly ignores Zhong Jianguo's marriage: "Sister-in-law, there is a younger sister in my family's family. Go back and ask Zhaodi if there is such a good thing in the army."

"No." Song's mother didn't like to help others to say kinship, and it's easy to say it into hatred, "Zhao Di said that a soldier as old as Jianguo is the largest official in Jianguo.

"Other people don't have the high wages of the founding of the country, and they are not like our family's Zhaodi. They can be teachers with deep knowledge. Even if they marry into the army, their life can't compare with our family's Zhaodi."

Goudan's mother was not very happy: "What are you showing off? Don't forget, your family Zhaodi almost married Wang Degui."

"Auntie, there is no suitable person in the army. You can train your dog Dan and Erya to become college students." Song Zhaodi came out of the thatched hut. "One son and one daughter are college students, so you still eat spicy food."

Goudan's mother rushed to Song Zhaodi's side: "I think so too. But now I can't go to university."

"It will be enough in a few years." Song Zhaodi said, "The officials above are old and retired, and the country must re-train college students. The students taught by the workers, peasants and soldiers universities are simply not enough."

Goudan's mother's eyes lit up, she looked around and saw no one: "Really?"

Song Zhaodi nodded.

"Then, how many years will it take?" Gudan's mother asked in a very small voice, afraid that others would know.

Song Zhaodi thought about it carefully: "It seems that it will take nine years."

"Keep your voice down, Zhao Di." Goudan's mother counted with her fingers, "Nine years, our Goudan will be twenty-two years old. Will schools still accept it at such an old age?"

Song Zhaodi: "There is no age limit in the university, you can accept it at any age. You forgot to sing in the play. Some people with white hair are still going to take the champion exam."

"That's right, right." Goudan's mother didn't think college students were anything special before. Since Song Zhaodi married Zhong Jianguo, whenever someone in the village slaughtered a pig, Song's mother would buy a large piece of meat.

Last year, Song Zhaodi sent another large package of food. The dog's mother was leaning on the wall and looking at it, almost drooling. It was also the first time she made up her mind to raise her children into college students, "Hey, Zhaodi, those five What happened to the child?"

Song Zhaodi: "It's all my son."

"I haven't told the truth to my aunt—"

"Mother, it's time to eat." Zhong Dawa ran out of the room, "Stop chatting. Hurry up and eat, let's go to the city after dinner."

When the words were interrupted, Goudan's mother was not angry: "This child is very close to you."

Song Zhaodi smiled: "Several children kiss me." However, no one believed this.

If Mother Song hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe it.

Song Zhaodi noticed that Goudan's mother didn't believe it, and after breakfast, she led a few children to Deng Peilin first.

Along the way, the eldest child and the second child, who were very curious about Xiaosong Village, were chatting, and the mother was long and short. Sanwa ran in front, and after running for a while, she found that Song Zhaodi was not following, so she raised her voice and shouted, Mother, hurry up.

The villagers of Xiaosong Village were even more puzzled. How could these three children look like Song Zhaodi's own sons?

No matter how confused the villagers are, the Song family speaks the same language, and the five children are all left by Zhong Jianguo's former daughter-in-law. As a result, Song Zhaodi and Sister Duan went back, and the villagers were not sure whether the five children were the sons of Zhong Jianguo.

On the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, Song Zhaodi took her five children back. Unexpectedly, she was surrounded by onlookers again.

Song Zhaodi was more straightforward this time, she left Dawa directly and asked Dawa to explain to everyone that she would take the child back to the house first.

Zhong Jianguo received a call from his eldest brother and knew that Song Zhaodi would be back this afternoon. was too embarrassed to see Song Zhaodi, so waited for her at home.

Hearing Song Zhaodi's voice, Zhong Jianguo ran out, took Song Zhaodi's bag, and said, "I'm ready to cook. Do you want to wash first, sleep, or eat first?"

"Captain Zhong, have you ever heard a word?" Song Zhaodi asked with a half-smile.

Zhong Jianguo was stunned: "If there is nothing to be diligent about, it is either a traitor or a thief."

"So Colonel Zhong knows that he is the one who does nothing to galvanize?" Song Zhaodi asked with a smile, "Can Colonel Zhong tell me what's wrong with him?"

Zhong Jianguo's face changed slightly: "The child is still here."

"Everyone goes upstairs, I won't tell you to come down, and you're not allowed to come down." Song Zhaodi turned to Erwa, "Take the two brothers back to the room, and you can discuss how to sleep at night."
