Chapter 59

Self-reliant and puzzled: "Then are you still going?"

"Lin Zhong said that whoever picked up the conch and crab at the seaside picked it up." Zhong Dawa counted, "We have five people, each of us can pick up a little and make a pot, don't you want to eat it?"

Self-reliance couldn't help sighing, the foodie: "I want to eat, I'm even more afraid of my aunt getting angry."

"I'm also afraid that my mother will be angry." Zhong Dawa didn't give up, "I'm going to ask my mother to come with us tomorrow. Let's go to play now, and come with me."

After nine o'clock, Song Zhaodi saw that the sun was rising, and took out a family-sized quilt to dry. Then chop a pot of spinach, wash it, put it in the kitchen cabinet and keep it for noon to make spinach egg soup.

After coming out of the house, Song Zhaodi realized that Zhong Jianguo had washed all the clothes and shoes at home, and there was no work for the time being, so she put the high school textbooks she bought from the junkyard in a bag, locked the door, and carried the cloth bag to the principal. Family.

After eleven o'clock, Song Zhaodi came back from the principal's house, and before she got to the door, she saw a man and a woman sitting at the door.

Song Zhaodi's first reaction - begging? But this guess just flashed in her head, and she also thought of the letter that was burned by the big baby and their family was about to forget.

Possibly guessing who it was, Song Zhaodi made up her mind, and walked up to her and deliberately asked, "Who are you? What are you doing sitting in front of our house? Are you begging? Wait, I'll go get you two steamed buns. "Open the door, go in and latch the door.

The man and the woman were stunned, and it took a while for them to regain their senses. They quickly stood up and asked in unison, "Are you Song Zhaodi?"

Song Zhaodi pretended to be surprised: "Do you know me?"

"Of course." The man said, "I am Dawa's uncle, and she is Dawa's aunt. You, open the door first and let us in."

Song Zhaodi looked at him with great disdain: "You say yes? I also said that I am Baihua, the mother of Dawa. Who would believe it?"

The man choked.

Song Zhaodi sneered: "I thought you were too hungry to walk, and I wanted to get you some steamed buns, but I didn't expect it was a liar." She turned and went into the room.

"You, don't go, who are you calling a liar?!" the woman shouted.

Song Zhaodi stopped, and when she turned around, she found Sister Chen and Sister Duan standing under the eaves and looking over here, and suddenly wanted to kick the Bai siblings to Shencheng. Unfortunately, she is Zhong Jianguo's wife and a middle school teacher. She has to be civilized and polite.

Song Zhaodi walked back: "Of course it's you."

The woman took a breath: "I, I'm Dawa's aunt Bai Zao, he is Dawa's uncle Bai Lin, I don't believe you don't know?!"

"I really don't know." Song Zhaodi turned to Sister Chen, "Sister-in-law, have you seen them?"

Sister-in-law Chen waved her hand and said loudly, "I don't know."

Song Zhaodi turned to Sister-in-law Duan again: "Auntie, they said they were Dawa's uncle and aunt. When Dawa's mother died, did you see them?"

Sister-in-law Duan walked to the fence, stood on tiptoe and said, "When Dawa's mother died, no one came from the Bai family. I don't know if they were."

"No one from the Bai family?" Song Zhaodi shouted loudly, wishing everyone would hear, "When your sister died, you didn't come. What are you doing here? Greeting Zhong Jianguo and me for the New Year? Who are you lying to?" Disgusted face, "Where should I go, don't make a noise at our door."

Bai Zao wanted to scold someone when she opened her mouth, but the closed bamboo raft door made her realize instantly that she couldn't get in without scolding Song Zhaodi. Curse Song Zhaodi? Don't want to go in today or in the future: "You ask Zhong Jianguo to come out, and I will tell Zhong Jianguo."

"Yo, you even know the name of Dawa's father. It seems that you have inquired very clearly. Come prepared." Song Zhaodi said with a smile, "I found out the name of Dawa's father, but I didn't ask Zhong Jianguo noon. Go home and come back after dark?"

Bai Zao choked: "Then, then you ask the big baby to come out."

"Do you think Da Wa still remembers who his aunt is?" Song Zhaodi asked, "If you are Da Wa's aunt, think about when Da Wa saw you for the last time."

Bai Lin grabbed the clothes he picked up and whispered, "When the baby was three years old."

Song Zhaodi didn't hear it, and saw Bai Lin's mouth move from the crack of the door, but asked deliberately, "Don't you know? Then I'll give you one more chance. When is Dawa's birthday?"

"The Lantern Festival is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Bai Lin blurted out, "I remember this most clearly."

Song Zhaodi has lived a thousand years in her previous life, and has long learned not to be angry with strangers, but when she heard Bai Lin's words, she couldn't help cursing: "Our eldest baby's birthday is January 11, and three of them are so easy to remember. I remembered wrong, and said you were Dawa's uncle? What a fucking uncle!" After speaking, he turned back to the house.

Sister-in-law Duan and Sister-in-law Chen have never seen Bai Zao and Bai Lin, but their eyes are exactly the same as Bai Hua's, slender and slender. Based on this, they can conclude that they are Bai Hua's brother and sister.

Song Zhaodi is very smart, they can see it, and Song Zhaodi can definitely see it. Song Zhaodi made it clear that she didn't want to recognize it, and the two of them didn't have much to do, so they turned around and went back to the house to start cooking.

Before Bai Lin and Bai Zao came, Bai's mother told a pair of children that Song Zhaodi was a powerful person, and she should be careful when they arrived at Wengzhou Island. Bai Zao's original words at the time were: "No matter how powerful it is, we can't help but let us in."

Song Zhaodi really shut the two out, and they were dumbfounded.

Bai Lin looked at Bai Zao: "What should I do?"

"You ask me, I ask who." Before dawn, Bai Zao got up and went to her parents' house. After drinking porridge at her mother's house and eating a pickle bun, I went to the wharf with Bai Lin.

I didn't dare to stop when I got off the boat, so I bought a ticket to the island. When I landed on Wengzhou Island, I thought I could finally drink hot tea, but was fooled around by a bear child, and almost scared my soul out.

As soon as they sat down at the door of Zhong's house, Song Zhaodi came. Bai Zao is not only tired, but also tired: "I told you before that my little sister is dead. Zhong Jianguo is too busy at home, and the only person in charge of the Zhong family now is Song Zhaodi. We come here to find no fun. You The woman insisted that we come over, and now it's alright, we can't even get in the door."

Bai Lin: "You didn't say that when you came."

Bai Zao choked: "I wouldn't have come if Mom had not asked me to come."

"Then you go back now?" Bai Lin said.

Bai Zao choked: "I've come here, this is my nephew's house, why should I go back." After speaking, he turned and sat on the ground, "I don't believe that Zhong Jianguo won't come back today."

Song Zhaodi planned to make spinach and egg soup, adding a few more eggs and duck eggs, a large bowl for one person, and a steamed bun with miscellaneous noodles.

The children and Zhong Jianguo haven't come back yet. When the master comes back, Bai Lin and Bai Zao will definitely come in. Song Zhaodi didn't want to see the chickens and ducks she had worked so hard to raise, and the eggs laid by the chickens and ducks, eating into the belly of the Bai brothers and sisters.

After thinking for a while, Song Zhaodi went to pinch a handful of scallion leaves to make a pot of scrambled eggs with shallots.

When the shallot scrambled eggs came out, Song Zhaodi didn't brush the pot or put oil in the pot, just poured the spinach in and fry a pot of spinach. Then pour two scoops of water into the earthen pot, and put the drawer into the hot steamed bun.

When the water boiled, Song Zhaodi put the scrambled eggs with spinach and shallots on the drawer to prevent the vegetables from getting cold. However, all these were done, Zhong Jianguo and several children had not come yet.

Song Zhaodi wondered, could it be that Dawa saw two people at the door and ran to the camp to report to Zhong Jianguo?

When Zhong Dawa and his brother and brother came back, they saw two people at the door. Instead of going to Zhong Jianguo, they went to Liu's house to borrow a large bench.

Song Zhaodi heard the "dong dong" sound, subconsciously thought it was a mouse, and quickly followed the sound to find it slowly.

"Mother, here it is."

Song Zhaodi's heart suddenly jumped, she turned her head to look, she was so angry that she wanted to beat someone, she hurriedly opened the window and hugged Sanwa down: "Why are you here?"

"Mother, we are all here." Erwa's head appeared in front of Song Zhaodi.

There are no steel bars on the windows of Song's house, only two wooden sticks, and the child can get in by leaning on his side. Because of the windows of every household, the windows upstairs and downstairs are the same, Song Zhaodi didn't realize that the windows were wrong before: "Dad, is it your idea?"

"Everyone's idea." Zhong Dawa said, "Mother, don't talk about it, just pull us in, we'll starve to death."

Song Zhaodi hooked her head and looked outside: "Where's the bench?"

"Grandma Liu gave it." Zhong Dawa said, "I told Grandma Liu, and I will send it back to her in the afternoon."

Song Zhaodi nodded his forehead: "I'm sorry!" Then she said, "Rebirth, self-reliance, you two be careful."

"Auntie, are those two Dawa's uncle and aunt?" Zili came in and asked.

Song Zhaodi: "It's his aunt and his uncle. Don't worry about them, I'll go get the water, and you can wash your hands and eat." However, when Song Zhaodi went out, she saw an extra car at the door, the door opened, and a person came out, it was Zhong Jianguo .

Song Zhaodi immediately wanted to scold people. She didn't come early or late, but it happened when the children came in and started to eat. However, Song Zhaodi didn't open the door, but brought a basin of water into the kitchen: "Big baby, take the vegetables, stand on your own, take the steamed buns. Reborn, take the chopsticks, you go upstairs to eat."

Zhong Dawa looked at the scrambled eggs with shallots and then looked at another pot of spinach: "Mother, don't you eat scrambled eggs with shallots?"

"I wanted to eat it, but your dad came at the wrong time." Song Zhaodi's voice fell, and when she heard Zhong Jianguo call her to open the door again, "I made spinach for your uncle and your aunt. Your dad is too blind, I don't know. Turn in from the side first."

Zhong Dawa tentatively asked: "Then let's go up?"

"Go up." Song Zhaodi waved her hand and watched them go upstairs before opening the door. When the door opened, he asked Zhong Jianguo, "Didn't you say you won't be back at noon? I didn't cook your meal."

Zhong Jianguo paused, this Song Zhaodi was full of nonsense again: "Is it cooking?"

"Just done." Song Zhaodi looked at Bai Lin and Bai Zao and asked deliberately, "Who are they?"

Zhong Jianguo glanced at her, this woman pretended to be like: "Big baby's uncle and aunt."

"You didn't lie?" Song Zhaodi was surprised. "Then why don't you even know the birthday of the big baby?"

Zhong Jianguo frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing." Bai Lin said quickly, "Brother-in-law, let's go first, it's not a place to talk outside."

Song Zhaodi nodded: "Yes, let's go first. So that everyone knows that the uncles don't know the birthday of their nephew." After a pause, "Those who don't know think Jianguo deliberately didn't tell you."

"Song Zhaodi." Zhong Jianguo frowned, almost finished, "Go and serve the meal."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Okay."

Zhong Jianguo's scalp tightened, and he wanted to ask her what was wrong with her holding back. When he remembered that there were two uninvited guests, he turned his head and said, "Big sister, big brother, let's go in."

When they got to the house, Zhong Jianguo said again: "You put your things on the chairs first, I'll get a basin of water, wash your hands and then eat."

"The basin is in the kitchen." Song Zhaodi's voice came out, and the wooden basin was kicked out by her.

Bai Lin pokes Bai Zao's arm, you tell Zhong Jianguo.

Bai Zao nodded and followed Zhong Jianguo out. Bai Lin stayed in the living room and stared at Song Zhaodi, who was busy in the kitchen.

"Why didn't you come to wash your hands?" Zhong Jianguo put the basin beside the water well, and found that only Bai Zao came over, which was a little strange.

Bai Zao: "He will wash it later." Afraid of Song Zhaodi's sudden appearance, Bai Zao didn't even greet Zhong Jianguo, and said directly, "Jian Guo, Mom asked me to ask you, I used to send things to my family during the New Year and festivals. Why didn't you send it for two years? Did Song Zhaodi forbid you to send it?"

Zhong Jianguo's hand paused, then continued to press the water: "It has nothing to do with Song Zhaodi."

"That's why you don't want to send it?" Bai Zao asked.

Zhong Jianguo twitched the corners of his mouth: "Yes."

Bai Zao choked, looked at Zhong Jianguo in disbelief, how did you become like this now?

Zhong Jianguo pretended not to see it, and squatted down to wash his hands.

Seeing that he got up to leave, Bai Zao quickly said, "Why? Mom didn't feel sorry for you. Three children were born in your family. Why didn't Mom come and stay for two or three months before going back."

"Yes." Zhong Jianguo said, "Your words are good, then did your mother tell you how much I gave her every month when she helped me take care of the child? How much did she defraud Baihua? What do you think? She didn't feel sorry for me, and I didn't feel bad for her either.

"She is Bai Hua's parents. Bai Hua died because of her. I didn't ask her to settle accounts. She came to my house again and again to ask for trouble. I've had enough of her. Let me tell you, how did you come here? Go back, you are not welcome in my house, don't wait for me to ask someone to send you back."

Bai Zao was short of breath and widened his eyes: "You—"

"What am I?" Zhong Jianguo said, "This is the Zhong family, not your Bai family."

Bai Zao snorted in his head and blurted out, "Are you going to break up with our Bai family?"

"Yes." Zhong Jianguo said with a smile, "It's rare, there is someone who understands in the Bai family." After a pause, "Since you've already guessed it, then go back and tell your mother, don't come again in the future."

Bai Zao took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "My mother is Dawa's grandmother, and I am Dawa's aunt—"

Bai Zao didn't mention the past, and Zhong Jianguo was not angry. Seeing that she wanted to play the family card again, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he interrupted her: "My eldest birthday just passed her eighth birthday yesterday. , I called the eldest baby over, if he recognizes your aunt and his grandmother, I will not say what I said just now."

"Dad, don't shout, I can hear you." Zhong Dawa heard the quarrel, and without Song Zhaodi's permission, the children did not dare to go down, so they lied by the window and eavesdropped, "I don't know her, let her go. "

Bai Zao stumbled.

After Bai Hua died, Bai Zao and Bai Lin said they came to see the children, but they never sent a letter. Zhong Jianguo was not surprised that Dawa would say this: "Did you hear? Then go back to the house for dinner. After dinner, you can go."

The door in the water well is very close, and Bai Lin is standing by the door. He can hear clearly what Zhong Jianguo and Bai Zao said: "Zhong Jianguo, my sister Bai Hua will give birth to three sons for you."

Song Zhaodi said first: "What do you mean? Bai Lin, are you here to take the three children away?"

Bai Lin was stunned, and took a while to react: "I, that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Zhong Jianguo didn't know how to answer, but Song Zhaodi reminded him, "Don't you mean to take the child back?"

Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows: "Really? Then I'll pack up for the children."

Bai Lin's face changed suddenly: "I don't want children, I have three or four children myself, why do I want your children?"

"No?" Song Zhaodi was disappointed, "Then why did you say that just now?"

From Bai Zao's point of view, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. She is afraid that Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo will push the three children to the Bai family, and then they will have a few more children, so she doesn't dare to continue, so she said: "Look at what Bai Lin means. For the sake of the child—"

"For the sake of the children, I will give you some money for the Bai family?" Song Zhaodi said, "Respect the two elders of the Bai family for Bai Hua? Think of the beauty. The three children are Bai Hua and Zhong Jianguo's children. You indirectly harmed Bai Hua. death, the child has no mother.

"Zhong Jianguo had to marry me. In order to marry me, Zhong Jianguo spent 200 yuan. He didn't care if you asked for the money, so you should just have fun. You still dare to ask for money, who gave you the courage? "

Bai Lin and Bai Zao were speechless.

Zhong Jianguo really wanted to applaud her, but now is not the time: "It turns out that you are here to ask for money this time, just like the purpose of Dawa's grandmother last time."

"No, no." Bai Lin said quickly, "I mean our family can't stop dating because the birch is gone. When the child grows up and someone asks his uncle or aunt, what do you want the child to say?

"Tell people directly that I have cut off contact with my uncle's family. What will others think? It will definitely be said that Song Zhaodi pushed her, and it is not good for her reputation."

Song Zhaodi: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm a stepmother. No matter how good I am to my children, others will treat me as bad for my children. When I married Zhong Jianguo, I was already mentally prepared, and it's not bad. You don't have to think about me."
