Chapter 46

Song Zhaodi was flustered and stood up subconsciously: "Don't, don't tell me it's the English book I wrote for you?"

Zhong Dawa nodded fiercely and couldn't hold back any longer, sobbing bitterly.

With a tightness in her chest, Song Zhaodi walked over to the big baby, picked the child up, and wiped away her tears: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's gone if it's gone, I'll rush my mother tomorrow to write a book for you."

"Mother, I know, hiccup—the book was taken away by her." Dawa's eyes were blurred, and she grabbed Song Zhaodi's hand, "Mother, let's go back, let's come back, okay?"

Song Zhaodi smiled bitterly: "I think so too, but she is on the boat, how can my mother go after her?"

"Mother..." The snot came out, and Zhong Dawa subconsciously sniffed and sucked the snot in again.

Song Zhaodi had a black line on her forehead and picked up the tablecloth to wipe the table: "I'll blow your nose for you."

The child only cares about his book, but did not find any problems with the cloth, so Song Zhaodi pinched his nose: "You send a telegram to Auntie and ask Auntie to ask for it."

"There is a kind of person in the world, even if you catch her stealing things, she will not admit it." Song Zhaodi said, "Your second aunt, your grandmother, and your grandmother are all such people.

"We can call the police, but for a book, according to the law, the police scolded the book thief and it was over, and they would not lock her up."

Zhong Dawa: "Why not? She's a thief."

"Because there are too many thieves like this, it can't be put in the prison." Song Zhaodi thought about it carefully, "There is a saying, stealing chickens and dogs to pull garlic seedlings, mad at the police and exhausting the court, it means that there are too many such thieves. We can't count on all the thieves. Police, take good care of your own things."

Zhong Dawa lowered her head, very ashamed: "I didn't hide it well."

"I don't blame you. You are still young, I don't know there is another word called "defeating" Is she far away?"

Zhong Dawa nodded vigorously: "Mother, don't let her come to our house in the future."

"No." Song Zhaodi said, "She stole things from our house. If there is anything going on in her house in the future, send a telegram to tell us that if we don't go, our relatives and neighbors will not call us stingy."

Zhong Dawa raised her head and said tentatively, "Mother, is it a good thing for us to throw away a book?"

"I think it's a good thing to be able to cut off contact with your second aunt." Song Zhaodi didn't want to say that, but when she saw the child's eyelids were red, she continued, "I'll send a telegram to your aunt later and wait for your grandma to return. When I get home and see the telegram, I will definitely feel sorry for you and disappointed with your second aunt."

Zhong Dawa: "Are grandma and grandpa still here?"

"They will think that they caused your book to be stolen, and are embarrassed to come again for the time being." Song Zhaodi said, "They want to come back in two years, and they will no longer be able to take the car when they are older. I don't think they will come again. However, I have to go back to see them, they are my parents."

Zhong Dawa hurriedly asked, "Will I see Second Aunt?"

"No, her house is far away from my grandma's house." Song Zhaodi wiped the tears from his face, "I will teach you English according to the English book of the first year of junior high tomorrow?"

Zhong Dawa nodded, then shook his head again: "Ma Zhenxing asked me, how should I answer?"

Song Zhaodi's original intention of writing those words was to let the children on the island know a little English and be interested in English, not all for her three children: "I teach you, you teach them in a notebook."

"Then I'll become a little teacher?" Zhong Dawa's eyes widened.

Song Zhaodi patted his head: "Don't you want to?"

Zhong Dawa nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, mother, teach me now."

"Don't worry." Song Zhaodi said, "You can't eat a fat man in one bite. Let's wash our faces first, then call the second baby and the third baby down, and you can learn together." After speaking, she put the big baby down, and Song Zhaodi pulled him. hands go outside to get the washbasin.

The big baby grabbed Song Zhaodi's arm, motioned her not to rush to pour hot water into the house, and pointed at the wooden basin stand: "Mother, your pancreas for washing your face is gone."

"I have seen it." Song Zhaodi sighed, "This is the real devil entering the village. Don't wash your face first, let's see what's missing in our family."

Zhong Dawa let out an "um" and ran to the chicken, duck and goose pens. Seeing that there were no shortage of chickens, ducks and geese in his house, he breathed a sigh of relief and went along the corridor to check the things on the corridor, "No Little. Mother, where are you?"

"My vanishing cream, your clam oil is all gone. Fortunately, our toothpaste and toothbrush are still there." Song Zhaodi came out with warm water, "If you don't even have toothpaste, your dad will be mad."

Zhong Dawa frowned: "But without vanishing cream and clam oil, what will we use tomorrow?"

"Go to the market tomorrow to buy." Song Zhaodi said, "It's time to prepare the New Year's goods anyway. Come here and I'll wash your face."

Zhong Dawa sighed: "Why is she more powerful than grandma?"

"People are shameless and invincible." Song Zhaodi wiped his face for him, "When you grow up, you will meet many people who are less particular than your second aunt. At that time, you can no longer cry and find a way to solve it. "

Zhong Dawa nodded: "I remember, mother." She raised her head and saw the person under the eaves next door, her eyes lit up, "Mother, we can call the uncle and tell the uncle to tell grandma."

Song Zhaodi followed his line of sight and saw that Mrs. Duan was sweeping the roof under the eaves of the porch. She also thought that there was a phone at her house: "Do you know your uncle's number?"

"I know, the number is upstairs, I'll look for it." Dawa said and ran into the house.

What Song Lainan did was disgusting, and Song Zhaodi was too lazy to save face for her. When the call was connected, she told Brother Zhong how much Song Lainan had taken with her in total. Then he asked him to take time to go to Xiaosong Village and tell her eldest sister and brother-in-law about it.

Zhong Weiguo heard Zhong Jianguo say that Song Zhaodi's parents are very reasonable, and Song Zhaodi's eldest sister and brother-in-law are also honest people. At first hearing Song Zhaodi said that her second sister took her things, Zhong Weiguo subconsciously asked if he had made a mistake.

Song Zhaodi told Zhong Weiguo with great certainty that people on the island did not dare to steal things from soldiers' homes.

Song Zhaodi had previously locked the bamboo raft door to prevent relatives who came to visit unexpectedly. Song Zhaodi felt ashamed when she said this, so when Sister Duan asked her why she locked the door, Song Zhaodi said to prevent chickens and ducks from running out. However, still did not prevent.

When Zhong Jianguo returned home, when he heard about this, he said to Song Zhaodi, "You go and call the elder brother again, and don't go to Xiao Song Village."

"Why?" Song Zhaodi didn't understand.

Zhong Jianguo: "If something like this is passed on to others, your parents will be very sad. It's just a book, not a valuable item."

"And mother's vanishing cream." Zhong Dawa grabbed Song Zhaodi's arm, "I don't allow you to call."

Song Zhaodi took Dawa's hand and signaled him not to be nervous: "Second sister should think about the consequences when she does it." She paused, "She dares to take mine today, and she will dare to take the eldest sister's things tomorrow. Be honest, eldest sister-in-law. Be kind, I will definitely endure it.

"Brother Gu Ming'er made this matter known to everyone. If the second sister knows how to be shameful, she will not do this kind of thing again in the future. If she feels that it is her ability to follow other people's things, she only needs to do it again. , My parents, for their own face, even if they don't beat her and scold her, they will tell her not to go back to their parents' house in the future."

Zhong Jianguo sighed: "Your parents are in their fifties."

"That can't be helped." Song Zhaodi said, "My mother came to talk about the second sister this time. I always felt that she felt sorry for the second sister. I was afraid that she would soften her heart."

Zhong Jianguo didn't quite understand: "What's the matter?"

"What about the eldest brother-in-law." Song Zhaodi said, "She likes the eldest brother-in-law, but the eldest brother-in-law is married to the eldest sister."

Zhong Jianguo: "I can't blame your eldest brother-in-law for this. If it was me, I would also choose your eldest sister."

"What about me?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Zhong Jianguo was delighted: "We're talking about your second sister." After a while, "You? I really dare to say that if you choose you, your parents could skin me. I don't care how old you were at that time. ."

"Father, mother, what are you talking about?" Zhong Dawa looked at this, looked at that, "Aren't you going to call?"

Song Zhaodi: "Stop fighting."

The next day, in the morning, Zhong Dawa got up subconsciously to find his English book and taught his two younger brothers to read English. However, realizing that the English book had been taken away, the little boy's tears came out again.

When Zhong Jianguo woke up in the morning, he saw that the sky was very dark. He presumed that it was going to snow, so he covered the vegetables that Song Zhaodi had planted with straw. When he came back, he saw his eldest son sitting on a chair and weeping silently, so he sat beside Dawa: "Your uncle I shouldn't have gone to Xiaosong Village yet, so I'll make another call and ask him to help you get it back?"

"Why don't you come back." The big baby sniffed, "Mother said, she won't admit it."

Zhong Jianguo patted his son's head: "Go get your mother's English book, and I'll teach you to read a paragraph."

The baby got up and ran upstairs.

Zhong Jianguo glanced at his son's back and walked to the kitchen: "This child was never so active before."

"My eldest daughter thinks that Song Lainan is very similar to his grandmother and grandmother. I'm afraid that my second sister will steal something, so I hate myself for being careless." Song Zhaodi said, "He turns grief and anger into strength. Plus he I want to teach the boys English and become so active as a teacher."

Zhong Jianguo couldn't understand: "There is no English class in elementary school. What's the use of your second sister stealing English books? She can't understand it."

"She can understand." Song Zhaodi explained to him, "Our tuition is cheap, and my parents don't need to save money to marry a daughter-in-law, so let the three of us study.

"My eldest sister has a hard time going to school, and she didn't want to go to school in the last few years. The second sister is better than her, but the second sister doesn't study hard, and my mother thinks she wastes money, so she won't let her go to school before she finishes her first year of school.

"The school in Hongya Town wants to train a college student, and attaches great importance to learning English. First-year students have five English lessons every week. Second sister will know what it means when she sees that book."

"Most of the middle schools in the country have reopened classes now, but as far as I know, there are no English classes." Zhong Jianguo said, "She brought an English book back, so she was not afraid of anyone who wanted to react to the Revolutionary Committee?"

Song Zhaodi shook her head and laughed: "You look down on my second sister too much. Her things are precious. She won't tell anyone except my second brother-in-law. Even if my second brother-in-law finds out, Song Lainan will say that I gave her the book. Later, he regretted it. If she wanted to go back, she falsely accused her of being a book thief."

Zhong Jianguo swallowed: "No way?"

"I can do it." Song Zhaodi said, "I've seen a lot of women like my second sister in my previous life."

Zhong Jianguo: "Then can you lose your vanishing cream?"

"I just didn't expect that she wouldn't dislike the things I used." Song Zhaodi sighed and watched the big baby come down, "Go teach him English and start from scratch."

The school was on winter vacation, and Song Zhaodi, Dawa and Erwa didn't have to go to school anymore. If they were not in a hurry, Zhong Jianguo would let Song Zhaodi cook slowly by herself. Anyway, it doesn't matter if he goes late, the soldiers below will find Political Commissar Zhang when they have something to do.

Song Zhaodi first cooked porridge and steamed buns on the stove, then fry two green vegetables and three poached eggs in a pot, and then made five egg pancakes.

The eggs are not used up and the oil has bottomed out.

Song Zhaodi went out with the dishes and asked, "Do the troops and schools still distribute oil and rice this year? Zhong Jianguo."

"The twenty-fourth meeting of the twelfth lunar month will be sent out." Zhong Jianguo said, "The logistics department has already bought it. However, it is rapeseed oil. Hey, Song Zhaodi, do you want me to talk to the teacher, and don't call the cooking class out in the future. Buy and go directly to the sea to find ingredients?"

Song Zhaodi: "Where do the fish you usually eat come from?"

"The non-staple food factory collects it from the fishermen and sells it to us." Zhong Jianguo said, "I think this is quite troublesome."

Song Zhaodi: "I think it's feasible, at least there is no middleman to make the difference. It's just that I don't know the situation in your army, in case something poisonous is caught..."

"If it is poisoned, it is much easier to put poison in the fishermen's cabin than into the sea." Zhong Jianguo pointed to the dishes on the table, "These green vegetables are not as delicious as the seaweed salad you made two days earlier."

Song Zhaodi couldn't help rolling her eyes: "That's seaweed."

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong." Zhong Jianguo said, "The seaweed egg soup and pork bone kelp soup I made before are also very good. You can go to the non-staple food factory to buy some seafood another day, and invite the teacher to come to us on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. dinner at home."

Mr. Liu's family is not an outsider, Song Zhaodi has no objection: "Are you going to feed your teachers first, and then talk about the food? Let me tell you, it is impossible not to go out to buy, some soldiers love big meat, not fish."

"It's a pity that our troops can't eat pork all the time." Zhong Jianguo said, "Danzi, a new recruit who doesn't know how to eat fish, came to our troops for a month, and it didn't take too long. Seeing steamed fish is more than seeing your own parents. Dear."

Song Zhaodi tutted, "No wonder you hummed when I didn't cook meat for three days, either to kill chickens or ducks. Your camp in the courtyard is really a monk's temple."

"Mother, you said that you killed two drakes during the new year." Zhong Dawa suddenly said, "Do you want to kill today?"
