Chapter 93

The elder sister in the forest followed Song Zhaodi's words and asked, "I heard from my mother that you have adopted two more children?"

"Again?" Song Zhaodi wondered, "Our family adopted self-reliance and rebirth, and there's no other way." Turning to the Chen family, "Who did my sister-in-law listen to? Such an unreliable thing."

Sister-in-law Chen coughed and said to her daughter, "I'm talking about self-reliance and rebirth."

"Both of them have been here for more than two years." Song Zhaodi glanced at her, turned her head and found that the second and third sisters in the forest were still twenty or thirty meters away from her, and said with a smile, "Your family has to cook two tables of dishes today. ."

Sister-in-law Chen rolled her eyes: "Speaking of the table, Xiao Song, I wanted to tell you just now, can you lend us that long table in your house, anyway, there are no guests at your house today."

Song Zhaodi really wanted to slap herself, without going through her brain: "Yes, yes, but you have to ask a few children."

"Ask the child?" Lin Zhong's eldest sister was surprised, "Is this trivial thing still subject to the child's consent?"

Song Zhaodi: "I didn't need it at first. Today is a bit special. The table is full of children's workbooks, and Erwa was lying on the table just now writing." After speaking, she patted Erwa's little head, "Erwa, the words are written. ?"

"It's early." Zhong Erwa blurted out, "Mother, I'm going to write."

Song Zhaodi nodded: "Go." Hearing the footsteps and seeing the two elder sisters in the forest approaching, she deliberately pretended to have just remembered, "By the way, sister-in-law, you were not but our family made some beds. , is there no place to put it? Jianguo and I have set up the bed, let's go to my house and have a look."

"Another day." Lin Zhong's eldest sister was holding the child in her words, and the child was moving around, distracting her, so she didn't notice that Chen's expression was unnatural, Song Zhaodi was a little helpless, "It's not big today. Suitable."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "What's right or not, everyone is a neighbor." Pointing to the second and third brother-in-law in the forest, "Tell them to take their things home first, and you can come to our house to see. Bunk beds, Big baby's father found someone to do it."

"Bunk bed?" Sister Chen was surprised, "What kind of bunk bed?"

Song Zhaodi opened all the doors: "I can't tell, just look at it."

Erwa ran into the house and did not do her homework, but went upstairs to report a letter.

The brothers threw the storybook into the utility room, then crowded into Zhong Jianguo's room, laying on the window and looking out.

When the eldest child saw Song Zhaodi bringing her mother and sister in the forest, she wondered, "Why did mother bring them to our house?"

"Mother must have her reasons for doing this." Gengsheng said, "Let's act by chance."

Zhong Dawa pointed to her mouth: "I haven't finished the candy in my mouth."

"Continue to eat before you finish." Gengsheng said, "I didn't let you spit it out."

The eldest child pointed to a few children who had already walked into the courtyard: "What if they care what we want?"

Think about it more: "There is a mother here."

"Yes, there is a mother here." Erwa realized that he was too nervous, "What are you afraid of?" Jumped off the bench, "Brother, you twisted our dad's quilt, fold it for him. "After that, I ran outside. Running to the stairs, Song Zhaodi came up.

Erwa subconsciously shouted, "Mother."

"Aren't you doing your homework down there?" Song Zhaodi asked knowingly, "Why did you come upstairs?"

Erwa said "ah", "I, I—"

"He came to tell us to go down and do our homework." Gengsheng interrupted Erwa, but he wanted to know why his mother was angry with Sister Chen, so he took Erwa back a few steps and asked Lin's family to come up first.

Song Zhaodi stared at the children: "I also drank the malted milk essence and ate candy, so let's go and do my homework."

Gengsheng walked downstairs subconsciously, raised his foot and realized that something was wrong.

Suddenly remembering that his mother had asked them to take Jiao Ye and Sa Zi out to show off, Gengsheng tried to say, "Mother didn't tell me I forgot, I haven't eaten it yet." Take a look at Song Zhaodi.

Song Zhaodi smiled: "Go and eat."

Gengsheng turned around and walked to his parents' room, avoiding everyone's attention, took out a toffee from his pocket, and walked out while peeling it, "Mother, this big white rabbit candy is delicious, I will buy this kind of candy in the future, don't buy that kind of candy. Kind of hard candy."

Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows, this son is going to be an elite.

"Don't eat it yourself, get some for your younger brothers." Song Zhaodi said, pointing to a few nephews in the forest.

Sister-in-law Chen was used to being polite, and subconsciously said, "No, no."

Song Zhaodi suddenly realized: "Look at my memory, I forgot that my sister-in-law bought it at home." Without waiting for Sister Chen's explanation, she said to several sisters in the forest, "Let's go to Hangzhou together a few days ago, your mother said that it's New Year's Eve, You all came back, bought too little to share with a few grandchildren and granddaughters, and bought five catties of white rabbit toffee all at once.

"I said that it's not good for a child to eat too much sugar, so I advised her to buy less. Your mother told me that the toffee is condensed milk, which is boiled from milk, and a child eats three candies is equivalent to drinking a glass of milk. If I knew it was like this, I Should have bought more."

Sister-in-law Chen bought toffee for real, but only bought two kilograms. I still heard Song Zhaodi say that the Big White Rabbit Toffee is condensed milk, so she bought it. Song Zhaodi didn't care about this. Before Sister Chen could react, she continued: "Also, your mother went to the non-staple food factory to buy four or five catties of pork the day before yesterday, and she kept it for you to eat today."

Sister-in-law Chen's face changed suddenly.

The elder sister in the forest quickly asked, "Really? Mom."

"I can still lie and lie to you." Song Zhaodi laughed, "I was right in front of your mother when she bought pork. I had no guests at my house, so I bought two kilograms of meat. I ate one kilogram yesterday and another kilogram today. , this year is over." Saying that, he pushed open the children's door, "Come in and have a look, sister-in-law, don't be stunned, this is the bed you saw the other day."

The second and third sisters in the forest looked at Chen Shi's face, and wanted to ask her what was wrong. However, before he could say anything, he was attracted by the bunk bed.

The eldest sister in the forest couldn't help walking to the bed, touched the ladder, and said in surprise, "This bed is really clever."

"The bed is so high that the child won't fall off at night?" Sister-in-law Chen said suddenly.

Song Zhaodi hummed in her heart: "There is something blocking it."

"Mom, your eyes are really hard to use." The eldest sister in the forest pointed to the railing next to the ladder, "There is this thing, not to mention a child as big as a big baby, our one-year-old Dandan sleeps on it, and also It won't roll off. Hey, why is there a plank?"

Song Zhaodi: "That's not a board. It's a foldable table. You turn the board over, and there are two brackets behind it."

"Really." The third sister in the forest took down the wooden board and saw that there were four legs hidden behind her, "Is it also made by Captain Zhong?"

Song Zhaodi nodded: "Several children said that they were lying on the table doing homework to freeze their feet, and sitting under the covers couldn't do their homework. Jianguo spent several days thinking about this kind of table."

"Captain Zhong is really amazing." Lin Zhong's second sister couldn't help sighing, "Can you come up with such a convenient table."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said: "The carpenters on the island can do it now. When your children grow up, ask your mother to go over and tell the carpenters that they can do better than ours."

"Mom, go back and tell the carpenter." The elder sister in the forest pointed to her daughter, "Niuniu will go to primary school next year."

Sister-in-law Chen frowned: "It's still early next year."

"Don't you know? Sister-in-law." Song Zhaodi pretended to be surprised, "When Jianguo was looking for a carpenter to make a table, he was seen by a few fishermen. The fishermen thought this kind of small table was very good, and asked a carpenter to make it for them. I heard that there are queues now. What." After a pause, "I don't know if the price will increase in a few days."

The elder sister in the forest quickly asked, "Why is the price still increasing?"

"There are too many people making tables," Song Zhaodi said. "If carpenters are too busy, they have to work overtime every day. Their leaders must recruit people or give them a raise. Where will the extra wages come from?"

Sister-in-law Chen looked at Song Zhaodi, her eyes were full of anger: "Xiao Song, you are not right, the carpenter's salary has increased, and there are more tables sold."

"Sister-in-law is right." Song Zhaodi was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Chen's reaction to be so quick, "I also said if. If my sister-in-law doesn't care about three cents or two cents, it's just as if I didn't say it."

The eldest sister in the forest finally realized that her mother's face was wrong, and said in a roundabout way: "Thirty cents and two cents are also money. Mom, let's go and see in a few days."

"I think you still have to make a long table. In the future, when your sisters come back, you won't have to borrow tables from everywhere." Song Zhao said.

The three elder sisters in Lin Zhong had already seen the long table in the Zhong family's house, and thought it was very convenient to have such a table at home. However, the three of them knew their mother better and were afraid of spending money.

The second sister in the forest said, "It's expensive, isn't it?"

"It's a bit expensive for you guys." Song Zhaodi said, "It's not expensive for your dad. Your dad's salary plus military age allowance can be paid 190 per month. What is a table? Your father is also a drop in the bucket."

The three sisters widened their eyes and said in unison, "One hundred nine?!"

"That's right." Song Zhaodi said, "You don't know? Including your mother's salary, they can get two hundred, three or four a month." Sister Chen couldn't speak, and added, "You grow so many vegetables in your yard. , You don't have to buy groceries all year round, your parents can save at least 200 yuan a month.

"Two hundred a month is two thousand four a year." Turning to Mrs. Chen, his face was full of envy, "Jianguo and I's wages are not low, we live frugally, and we only have a few dozen yuan left in a month. There's not more than a month left without your mother."

"Mother, when we grow up, you can save 200 yuan a month." She said coldly.

Song Zhaodi was happy, this son didn't suffer in vain. Just as he was about to speak, the self-ringing bell in the living room rang: "It's eleven o'clock? Sister-in-law, I won't leave you here. Jianguo will come back later, and I have to cook too."

Sister-in-law Chen turned around and left.

Song Zhaodi greeted: "Sister-in-law, slow down. If you go to make a table for a few grandsons and tell the carpenter that you are Jianguo's neighbor, their leaders may give you something cheaper."

"Thank you, Teacher Song." The three sisters in Lin Zhong were very embarrassed when they saw their mother running downstairs. "My mother may be in a hurry to go back to cook."

Song Zhaodi waved her hand: "Don't explain. I know, it must be your mother who thinks I told about your father's salary. I thought you knew it, but I saw your reaction just now that you didn't know."

"My mother keeps telling us that my dad gets 100 yuan a month, and she gets 20 yuan a month." Lin Zhong's third sister was a little annoyed, "Ordinary mechanics are around 20 yuan a month. Money, we think 100 yuan is a lot, and we never doubt it.”

Song Zhaodi couldn't help but feel annoyed: "It's all my fault, I have a quick mouth and often make your mother unhappy. I don't know how long she will be angry this time." After a while, "the toothpaste thing last time, I didn't pay attention to me for a few days."

A trace of discomfort flashed on the face of the elder sister in the forest: "Toothpaste?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "your mother said that the toothpaste she uses is different from mine. As far as I know, there is only Zhonghua toothpaste in the supply and marketing agency. I was afraid that she was deceived and said a few words to her."

Lin Zhong's eldest sister thought that her mother said that Song Zhaodi would show her off with a toothpaste, and she felt even more uncomfortable: "That's it. I'll tell her later, she won't be mad at you."

"Don't say it." Song Zhaodi said, "The more you talk, the more angry your mother will be. After a few days, her anger will subside, and this will be over. Otherwise, your mother will be so angry that she won't cook." After speaking, she sighed. With a sigh, "I must not say it in the future. I shouldn't let you come to see the bed today."

"How much salary Uncle Lin can get every month, can't I let the elder sisters know?" Regen, who was playing on the bench, suddenly said.
