Chapter 76

Sister Chen choked.

Zhong Jianguo staggered, almost plunged his head into the water basin, and hurriedly held the water basin to sit firmly: "Zhao Di, it's time to cook."

"Ah? I haven't brushed my teeth yet." Song Zhaodi smiled at Sister-in-law Chen, raised the toothbrush and stuffed it in her mouth, indicating that she couldn't chat with her.

Sister-in-law Chen turned around and wanted to leave, and noticed that there was a white mass on Song Zhaodi's toothbrush, she narrowed her eyebrows and thought for a while: "Does Xiao Song use toothpaste to brush her teeth?"

Mr. Song nodded and took out his toothbrush: "What do you use to brush your teeth without toothpaste?" I suddenly remembered that Sister Duan had said before that their generation used alkaline water or salt water to brush their teeth, and I immediately understood why Sister Chen asked this. Song Zhaodi deliberately asked, "Could it be that Sister Chen doesn't brush her teeth?"

"Brush your teeth!" Sister Chen blurted out. Realizing that she spoke too quickly, it seemed that there was no silver tael here, and wanted to cover it up, "However, I have never used the kind of toothpaste you use."

Song Zhaodi was happy. At this time, there were no other colors of toothpaste, and there was only one toothpaste on the market. Unlike later generations, there were blue and green, American and British, all kinds: "What does the sister-in-law use to brush her teeth? ?Brine or alkaline water."

Sister-in-law Chen is self-righteous, thinking that Song Zhaodi will ask her what kind of toothpaste she uses, and she has already figured out how to make nonsense. Song Zhaodi's voice fell, and Sister-in-law Chen almost said it with a bald mouth.

The words "salt water and alkaline water" made Mrs. Chen stop in time and missed the best opportunity to refute. She was embarrassed and a little guilty: "I don't like the smell of toothpaste. I use it occasionally, but I usually use alkaline water." I'm afraid. Song Zhaodi felt that she was reluctant to use toothpaste, and hurriedly said, "Sister Duan also uses alkaline water." The hidden meaning is that I am not using it alone.

In the face of her own family, or outsiders who made her angry, Song Zhaodi was a little aggressive when she spoke. At other times, Song Zhaodi was a well-informed and generous teacher Song, and the wife of Zhong Jianguo.

In the early morning, when the sun was rising and the air was fresh, Song Zhaodi felt panicked when she suddenly encountered a woman who spoke strangely. This person even pulled out Mrs. Duan, and Song Zhaodi was unhappy: "Sister-in-law Duan? The sister-in-law said Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu didn't brush her teeth with alkaline water for a long time, and now she uses toothpaste."

"Tooth, toothpaste?" Sister Chen didn't believe it.

Song Zhaodi spit out the toothpaste in her mouth and smiled, revealing two rows of big white teeth. The smile was brighter than the sun: "Yes. I bought it with me, Zhonghua toothpaste, you deserve it." Hold the toothbrush and rinse your mouth with water. , turned around and went into the house.

Zhong Jianguo was so far away that he couldn't see Sister Chen's expression clearly, and he could also guess that her face was ugly. In such a good weather, why can't you live with yourself?

"Headmaster Zhong, your teacher Song really knows how to talk." Sister Chen said with a half-smile but not a smile.

Zhong Jianguo rolled his eyes and cursed inwardly. He deserved it! He raised his head and smiled, "She is a teacher. She teaches students every day.

Sister-in-law Chen got stuck: "...Teacher teaches students to teach knowledge, not to teach students to talk about cross talk and sing opera."

"The teacher has a lot of knowledge, and he has to be able to tell it." Zhong Jianguo finally understood why Song Zhaodi hated Sister Chen. "If you can't tell it, you are only high-level, and learning to be rich is useless."

Sister-in-law Chen's mouth moved, and she found that she was speechless.

"Sister-in-law's clothes have been washed?" Zhong Jianguo sighed softly when she saw that she was silent, why bother. Then hand over a step.

Sister-in-law Chen shuddered: "Yes, yes, just chatting with the two of you, you forgot that I still have to do laundry."

Zhong Jianguo smiled and did not continue.

Song Zhaodi came out with potatoes, sat under the porch next to Zhong Jianguo, peeled the potatoes and asked, "That one has returned to the house?"

"No, I'm kneading my clothes." Zhong Jianguo glanced up and whispered, "She envy you having me to help you with the laundry, why didn't she call Head Lin? No, she probably won't make Head Lin. Lin Zhong help her?"

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Do you think she can move the forest?"

"Do you know?" Zhong Jianguo was curious, "How did I find out that you know everything."

Song Zhaodi: "It's not that I know. It's just like our family, there are not many family homes in the entire military region."

Zhong Jianguo didn't interrupt and waited quietly for her to finish.

"The Liu family dotes on their children, the Lin family does not dote on their children, but Sister-in-law Chen prioritizes sons over daughters." Song Zhaodi said, "Sister-in-law Chen gave birth to three daughters before giving birth to a son, and treats the treasures in the forest like her eyes. Just reluctant to call it.

"In the past, three daughters were at home, and three daughters helped her. Now the three daughters are married and go to work. She finds that she has to do laundry and cook, and she has to go to work, which is very tiring.

"Suddenly ordering Lin Zhong, even if Lin Zhong helps her with work, she has never done it before, and it is not right now. She can't stand to nag a few more words, let alone calling Lin Zhong to do things, and Lin Zhong is too lazy to pay attention to her."

Zhong Jianguo smiled: "It's like you've seen it with your own eyes."

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but their families are arguing every other day, not because of housework, but because of what else?" Song Zhaodi asked, "Is it because Headmaster Lin leaves early and returns late?"

Zhong Jianguo was speechless.

Song Zhaodi: "When others mention the consciousness of military family members, they all say that military family members have high consciousness. In fact, when it comes to children, military family members are no different from ordinary people. Eight out of ten families prefer sons to daughters.

"When a mother asks her daughter to work, she is reluctant to call her son. Even if the daughter is obedient and does things honestly, she will feel that it is unfair to be a mother, and she can't help complaining. When a mother is physically relaxed, her heart is tired.

"I thought everyone was the same. Men don't do housework, children don't want to do housework, and they get tired when they're tired. Anyway, everyone's life is like this. In the end, I told them, you like doing housework. If it's not illegal to kill, I've already been killed by them."

"You still know?" Zhong Jianguo was surprised, "I thought you didn't know how annoying you are."

Song Zhaodi: "Don't be sullen when they talk to me, and I don't bother to block them. Since I'm envious, let them be envious." After a while, "People like me who cooperate with them in their performances, the whole island will also Couldn't find the second one."

"Be careful they isolate you." Zhong Jianguo reminded.

Song Zhaodi said with a smile: "It's as if they don't isolate me, they'll make friends with me."

"Even if you don't care, it's better for someone to chat with you than no one to talk to you." Zhong Jianguo said.

Song Zhaodi: "Then do you know what they are talking about together? The East family, the West family is short, what does their family eat for lunch, and what does their family eat in the morning. If I talk to them about this, it's better to chat with our chickens, ducks and geese. Woolen cloth."

"You don't feel bored." Zhong Jianguo was also afraid of Song Zhaodi's loneliness, but he didn't think that his woman was stronger than he imagined, "The weather is nice today, so I took out the quilts to dry in the sun. It rained a few days earlier, and some quilts had a Musty smell."

Song Zhaodi picked up the potatoes: "I'll cook and stir-fry, and you'll call the children up later."

"Call the eldest baby up to help you make the fire." Zhong Jianguo said, "I got up when it was dawn and didn't let him do anything. I'm sorry he got up so early."

Last night's pots and pans were washed by a few children. Song Zhaodi didn't go upstairs to call Dawa, cook some porridge on the stove, and stir-fry a dish in a pot before calling the children to come down to eat.

After breakfast, Song Zhaodi found a few children looking outside from time to time, and was very puzzled: "Dad, you guys will go out for a while, and once in a while, what's going on outside?"

"Let's see if Dali is here." Zhong Dawa said.

Song Zhaodi wondered, "You've only seen Dali twice, why do you think of him so much?"

"Big brother doesn't want to be strong." Erwa said, "Brother said that Auntie will buy us a lot of delicious food."

Song Zhaodi was speechless: "Auntie bought something delicious that I bought for you?"

"The things that mother bought are the best." Da Wa said, "But I want to eat hemp candy sticks. We can't buy them here."

Song Zhaodi couldn't help but remind: "Toffee is much better than hemp candy."

"I know." Da Wa said, "I just want to taste that flavor."

Song Zhaodi waved at the big baby: "Come here."

Dawa came over subconsciously, took a step, stopped, and looked vigilant: "What's the matter?"

"I'm asking you a question." Song Zhaodi said, "I won't beat you."

Dawa thought that Song Zhaodi had not beaten him, and took three steps forward.

Song Zhaodi: "If there is a candy bar in the forest, would you ask Lin Zhong to give you a taste?"

"I will exchange our family's toffee for Lin Zhong." The big baby did this kind of thing when he was a child.

Song Zhaodi: "If Linzhong doesn't want to eat our food, will you ask Linzhong to give you a bite?"

"No way." Zhong Dawa didn't even think about it, and wrinkled her nose, "So humiliating."

Song Zhaodi patted his little face: "Not bad. It's not wrong to like to eat, but you can't even have a face just to eat."

Zhong Dawa suddenly realized: "Mother, are you worried about this? I won't. If the second aunt came here today, she would give me a sesame stick to eat, and I wouldn't eat it."

"I think too much." Song Zhaodi said, "Even if your second aunt comes over, she won't buy you a hemp candy stick."

The big baby said with an "Oops": "People just say it casually." After a pause, she couldn't help asking: "Mother, why are you saying it's not even eleven o'clock?"

"You go upstairs to sleep, and when you wake up, Dali will arrive." Song Zhaodi said, "You get up early in the morning, you don't go to bed for a while, and you don't have the energy to play at night."

The big baby thought about it carefully: "Mother is right." The voice fell, and the person had reached the stairs.

Song Zhaodi laughed: "Be on your own, you should go upstairs too. It's cold below, go and lie down in the bed."

"Mother, I'm not sleepy." She slept on her own until more than seven o'clock, and she was in good spirits.

Song Zhaodi thought about it: "Then put it under the quilt and play with the flower rope wait, I thought about it, there seem to be a few books in the utility room. It should be a story book, you can find it and take a look. You can't take it outside."

"I know, mother." The sun is shining and the wind is strong today, so I really don't want to go out. But there is nothing to play at home. There are a few storybooks, which is better than nothing. Then, with a few younger brothers upstairs.

Song Zhaodi looked at the backs of a group of sons. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the radio could not be received at the two ends of the three days. After thinking for a moment, she made a decision. However, seeing the half-sewed thin socks in his hand, he couldn't help sighing: "Let's finish the work in hand first."

Eleven, the big baby was woken up by the self-ringing clock in the living room, and sat up, surrounded by silence, couldn't help wondering, could it be afternoon?

"Are you awake?"

The big baby shivered and woke up instantly: "Sanwa? Where are you?"

"We are below." Sanwa said.

The big baby stepped down the ladder and saw his four brothers sitting in a horizontal row, very strange: "What are you doing?"

"We're reading a storybook." Zi Li said, "Come on, it's Journey to the West."

Zhong Dawa frowned slightly: "I seem to have heard someone say "Journey to the West"."

"It's the Monkey King." Gengsheng said, "Mother said that there are several storybooks in the utility room, and only this "Journey to the West" can understand a little bit." Would you like to read it together?"

Zhong Dawa nodded.

At 11:30, Liu Yang's family arrived, and Zhong Dawa, who was addicted to "Journey to the West", forgot about Dali, so she didn't come down to pick him up.

Song Zhaodi called Dali to go upstairs. The boy was as shy as when he was a child, shook his head and smiled, and sat down next to Liu Yang.

"Then you and Liu Gen go upstairs to sleep for a while." Seeing the child's exhausted face, Song Zhaodi stood at the entrance of the stairs and called on Dawa to bring the two cousins ​​up without waiting for Song Dali to refuse.

Zhong Dawa has an outgoing personality. She considers herself to be a relative of Dali and his brother. She hugs Dali's neck and drags him upstairs. Liu Gen, who was the same year as Sanwa, followed the two older brothers on the escalator and moved up bit by bit.

After the child was gone, Sister Song couldn't help but ask her doubts: "On August 15 last year, you didn't mention that Liu Ping had a partner in your letter to the family, so why did you suddenly get married?"

"Flash marriage." Song Zhaodi said, "If you don't hurry up and settle the person, Liu Ping is afraid that her husband will run away."

Song Laibao and Liu Yang looked at each other and asked in unison, "What do you mean?"

"Come to pick up Liu Ping tomorrow, you'll know when the time comes." Song Zhaodi asked, "How are your father and mother?"

Song Laibao: "It's good."

"Second sister hasn't been at home for the past two years, right?" Song Zhaodi said, and found that Song Laibao's face changed, her brows raised, "Tell me the truth, eldest sister. If she's not honest, I have a way to deal with her."

Song Laibao waved his hands again and again: "No, no. It's not a big deal, it's all over."
