Stepmother

Song Zhaodi could not laugh or cry, how could a little older child be so cruel: "Come on. Come back and I'll cook, you set fire."

"I really don't want to go." The child pouted and went to the next door.

Zhong Jianguo received the call and asked Xiao Li to drive him home. When he got home and sent Xiao Li back, Zhong Jianguo asked Song Zhaodi, "My dad hasn't come back? It was about nine o'clock when I separated from him."

Song Zhaodi glanced at his watch, "It's almost twelve o'clock, go out and look for it."

"No." Zhong Jianguo said, "I'm looking at Sanwa, you cook."

Song Zhaodi did not move.

Zhong Jianguo explained: "I told them not to run around, it's just right to be caught as a spy, and they will be locked up for a few days to see if they dare to come."

Song Zhaodi didn't understand: "Spy? A spy was found on the island again? When did it happen, why haven't I heard a little bit of wind."

The island has always been very strict with the spies. I used to just stare at the inside. I never thought that Lao Jiang's people would buy off ordinary fishermen.

Song Zhaodi told Zhong Jianguo that Xiao Zhao in the non-staple food factory was suspicious. It also made the troop leaders realize that the enemy has many tricks, and they must be careful.

There are many fishermen living on Wengzhou Island. They are afraid that the fishermen will panic, so they adopt a policy of loosening outside and tightening inside. On the surface, it looks the same as six months ago. In fact, as early as when Teacher Yao and Head Qian left, the troops began to investigate the fishermen on the island in detail.

Selection of some fishermen with high roots and high consciousness to train for a few days, the army will give these people some subsidies every month, and these people will pay attention to the foreign population.

The training of fishermen is not Zhong Jianguo's responsibility, but Zhong Jianguo was present at the meeting. Zhong Jianguo knew that there were such a small group of people on the island, and reminded his father and Zhong Shengli that they must never Thinking of it, the two of them took his words as fart.

Dad doesn't listen to persuasion, so he can't scold him when he's a son. Someone helped Zhong Jianguo to teach the ignorant grandfather a lesson, and Zhong Jianguo wanted to slaughter the only rooster in the family to celebrate.

"How can you know this kind of thing." Zhong Jianguo said, "I don't know too well."

Song Zhaodi: "So you don't care?"

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Jianguo hugged Sanwa and saw a yellow thing in his hand, "What do you eat?"

Song Zhaodi was in no hurry to see him, and she didn't bother to care. Anyway, it wasn't her father, not her brother: "Chicken cake. I came back from class to make it."

"Mother makes two bowls." Erwa stretched out two fingers, "It's very delicious, Dad."

Zhong Jianguo smiled and said, "Your father is not delicious, the cake is delicious, give it to father."

"It's over." Erwa blurted out.

Zhong Jianguo choked for a moment: "It's really worth raising you so big, I don't know how to save some for your dad if you have something delicious, you're a little conscientious."

"Do you want to eat?" Erwa asked, "Tell mother to make it for you."

Zhong Jianguo replied: "Your mother loves you but you don't love me, and don't make me chicken cakes."

"Then, don't eat it." Erwa thought for a moment and said, "Eat something else."

Zhong Jianguo had a chest pain: "I really want to eat chicken cake, Erwa, tell your mother that you want to eat chicken cake. When your mother makes it, you give me half of it."

"Children can't lie." Zhong Erwa said seriously, "Adults can't lie either." After a while, "My mother doesn't lie."

"Pfft!" Song Zhaodi listened to the music, "Can you eat noodles at noon?"

Zhong Dawa raised her little hand so that Song Zhaodi could see him first: "Eat the rice, I'm going to pour the rice with tomato soup."

"Steaming rice is easy." Zhong Jianguo said, "If they can get back in time, they will eat, otherwise they will be hungry."

After one o'clock, Song Zhaodi sent the three children upstairs to take a nap. Zhong Jianguo cleaned the pots and pans and was about to go to the camp.

Song Zhaodi, who came downstairs, stopped Zhong Jianguo: "Let's look for it." Without waiting for him to speak, he said, "You wish your father died, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is also your father. If something really happened on the island, it won't affect you well."

"Then I'll go now." Zhong Jianguo sighed, and when he arrived at the camp, he picked a dozen soldiers out to find his father.

Little Li came back after half an hour.

Commissar Zhang, who was talking to Zhong Jianguo, heard the footsteps and turned his head to look, Xiao Li looked worried, and sighed in his heart: "It won't really happen, right?"

"In the guard room." Xiao Li said, "The comrades in the guard room said that the fishermen found a father and son inquiring about the family of the troops and the head of the regiment, and thought they were suspicious, so they tied them up and sent them around guard room.

"Our comrade asked who the regiment leader's father was, and he said they were the regiment leader's father and younger brother. He didn't know anything, and our comrades thought he was lying."

Commissar Zhang hurriedly asked: "Is it useless?"

"No, no." Xiao Li said, "They don't have anything on them except money and tickets, and they don't look like the people on the other side. The comrades in the guard room plan to detain them for a day."

Commissar Zhang pushed Zhong Jianguo: "What are you still doing, hurry to the guard room."

"Little Li, you used to tell the guards to let them go." Zhong Jianguo said, "I should have made the whole army know."

Commissar Zhang thought carefully: "Little Li, drive over and bring people out, don't make a noise."

people." Zhong Jianguo said.

Commissar Zhang didn't understand: "What are you doing with this lie?"

"My dad will think that the commander is looking for me to talk about them." Zhong Jianguo said, "My dad, I can't talk about him. Normal parents hear the commander looking for me, Worry about me. He only thinks about himself."

Commissar Zhang patted Zhong Jianguo on the shoulder: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. My parents and mother-in-law are very good, but my uncle is delicious and lazy, and he goes to our house every three days to fight the autumn wind for a lifetime. It's all that virtue." Take a deep breath, "Don't talk about it, I'll be annoyed when I mention bad things. Xiao Li, go."

Li's father was a teacher, and his mother obeyed his father. Because Xiao Li's father is the most knowledgeable among the relatives, and he is very reasonable, Xiao Li's family does not have such bad things, and he does not believe that there is no father who does not love his son.

Xiao Li thinks that Father Zhong is a little eccentric and loves his younger son. Since Zhong Jianguo was the head of the regiment, the words were repeated in his throat, and Xiao Li swallowed them back.

He went to the guard room to pick up Father Zhong, and heard Father Zhong ask where Zhong Jianguo went. Xiao Li thought to himself, let's see, the father is still worried about his son. However, Xiao Li, who engraved "obey orders" in his heart, still followed what Zhong Jianguo said.

Father Zhong then asked if the commander sought Zhong Jianguo because he and Zhong were victorious.

Xiao Li's face changed slightly, and he sighed in his heart, "Knowing a son is more like a father, and knowing a father is more like a child." And just because Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, Zhong's father pretended to be Xiao Li by default and urged Xiao Li to drive quickly.

Song Zhaodi had no class in the afternoon, so she sent the eldest baby and the second baby to school. When she came back and found that the third baby was still sleeping, Song Zhaodi poured out the old clothes that Teacher Yao gave her.

If there are many patches, cut them into pieces directly with scissors, and keep the soles. If there are few patches, take it apart and see if it can be used as a shoe upper. Song Zhaodi was busy cutting the cloth, when she heard a bang, she reflexively looked out, and saw two people running in from outside.

Song Zhaodi raised the scissors in her hand and was about to throw them out to find that they looked familiar, it was Zhong Jianguo's father and Zhong Shengli.

Song Zhaodi froze for a moment, then ran upstairs in response. When they got upstairs and saw the door of the guest room open, Father Zhong and Zhong Shengli packed their things and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

"Don't worry about it!" Father Zhong took Zhong Shengli's hand and walked out like he was leading a child.

Song Zhaodi was heartbroken, and she didn't want to care. Originally, she was thinking of Zhong Shengli to dispel the idea of ​​joining the army, she was like a way to help Zhong Shengli. Seeing Father Zhong's virtue, Song Zhaodi also got angry and didn't send the two out.

It was estimated that they had gone far before Song Zhaodi went out and bolted the door from the inside.

In the evening, Zhong Jianguo came back and asked, "Are you gone?"

"Did you scare them?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Zhong Jianguo sneered: "I'm too lazy to scare him, it's him who has nothing to do." He told Song Zhaodi about his father running around and being arrested, and then he said, "He only sees Zhong in his eyes. Victory is short-sighted, and feels that it is good for the child to not let the child suffer, and he does not use his brain to think about it.

"Your father knows hyphenation and is so confused because he married a confused daughter-in-law." Song Zhaodi said, "Think carefully, when your mother was alive, was your father so mindless? "

Zhong Jianguo thought about it carefully, the only memory of his childhood was that his mother was busy: "At that time, my mother had the final say in the family's big and small matters, not my father."

Zhong Dawa: "But I want to eat Guan Gong and Qin Qiong today."

"Can you two speak human words?" Zhong Jianguo asked.

Zhong Dawa gave Zhong Jianguo a pair of white eyes: "Stupid! Snowfall of Flaming Mountain is sugar mixed with tomatoes, Guan Gong and Qin Qiong are tomato scrambled eggs."

"Then what's the name of the green vegetable soup your mother cooked at noon?" Zhong Jianguo asked.

Zhong Dawa looked at Song Zhaodi, does the vegetable soup have another name?

"The Qinglong crosses the river." Song Zhaodi said with a smile, "The name is domineering."

Er ​​Wa said loudly: "Domineering!"

Sanwa was startled.

Seeing the child shivering, Song Zhaodi quickly picked him up and said, "Will your father make trouble when he goes back? My cousin came back empty-handed last time, and your father returned without success. I always feel that They won't let it go."

Zhong Jianguo: "We're far away, they won't spread the noise at home, don't worry. I'll buy a pound of pork tomorrow and cook it for you."

"Braised pork." Zhong Dawa said quickly.

Song Zhaodi couldn't help pinching the child's fleshy face: "I've become fat and become a pig, and I still think about meat all day, so I will kill you tomorrow and make it into a roast suckling pig. "

Zhong Dawa shuddered and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of pig is a roast suckling pig?"

"Little Piggy is roasted whole, it is roast suckling pig." Song Zhaodi said, "Just like a little piglet like you."

Zhong Dawa pushed her hand away, wrinkled her nose and said, "I'm not a piglet, Erwa is."

"Don't eat me." Zhong Erwa's face changed suddenly.

Zhong Jianguo hurriedly picked him up and kicked Dawa's butt, "Frighten my brother again, I'll kick you into the sea."

"Hey the big fish!" Zhong Erwa said loudly with her arms around Zhong Jianguo's neck.

Zhong Jianguo glared at Erwa: "Don't talk about it."

"Say it, it's okay." Zhong Dawa pointed at Erwa, "I'll take care of you later."

Song Zhaodi slapped him on the back of the head: "It will scare my brother. Zhong Jianguo, I will buy half a catty of pork tomorrow and two pig bones."

Zhong Dawa didn't care about the pain in her head, and hurriedly asked: "What delicious food is your mother going to do?"

"Pork bone kelp soup and ants on the tree." Song Zhaodi looked at Zhong Jianguo, "Eat it at noon."

Zhong Jianguo smiled: "I will definitely come back."

In the noon of the next day, Zhong Jianguo asked Xiao Li for a car, planning to go home for dinner, when he saw Master Liu's car flying by.

Zhong Jianguo raised his hand to salute, but the car backed up. Master Liu opened the car window, "Xiao Zhong, get in the car, there is a situation."

"What happened?" Zhong Jianguo jumped into the car and asked.

Senior Liu: "The Soviet Union is in trouble in the north. Lao Jiang probably received the news and took the opportunity to block us. I just received the news, and Lao Jiang's people are here again."

"Are you going to fight us?" Zhong Jianguo asked hurriedly.

Senior Liu shook his head: "To fight with us now, it is one thousand damage to the enemy and eight hundred to oneself. Lao Jiang is unlikely to send troops."

"That's the same as before, harass us if you have nothing to do, don't hit us, and respond to us." Zhong Jianguo said, and couldn't help scolding, "It's shameless!"

Master Liu: "It's not that people are shameless, it's that people have no fear." Looking at the barracks, he sighed, "I really hope that the great revolution will end soon, and that the top is wholeheartedly engaged in construction, stop messing around."

Zhong Jianguo wants to say that it is impossible to end in a short time. He quickly swallowed the words and sighed, "Yeah."

Yesterday, Zhong Jianguo made a promise, Song Zhaodi thought he would come back, so he cooked his meal specially, he didn't come back, half of the meal was left. In the evening, Song Zhaodi simply made it into pickled rice.

Waking up in the middle of the night, Zhong Jianguo hadn't come back yet, Song Zhaodi told herself not to worry, still couldn't help worrying.

The next day, the sky was bright, and Song Zhaodi, who had not slept peacefully in the second half of the night, woke up to wash her face and went to Liu's house.

Sister-in-law Duan saw her look disheveled, and affirmed: "Worry about Xiao Zhong."

"Auntie knows?" Song Zhaodi was surprised.

Sister-in-law Duan: "Lao Liu didn't come back last night. Don't worry, even if Xiao Zhong leads his troops to fight at sea, he will stay in the cabin to command the battle. Unless the ship is destroyed."

"I also know this principle." Song Zhaodi said, "Auntie, I fought with Lao Jiang's people a few years ago. Are Jianguo and his regiment on the front line?"

Sister Duan nodded: "By the way, Xiao Song, I dried half a bag of dried eggplant a few days ago, and I will send it to your eldest sister on Sunday."

Sister Duan smiled and asked, "Can money buy cloth?"

Song Zhaodi choked: "Then I'll send it tomorrow."

"Don't worry." Sister-in-law Duan said, "The long beans I have dried have not dried yet. Let them dry for a day or two. When the beans are completely dry, send them together with the dried eggplant."

Song Zhaodi was a little surprised: "Auntie, you send dried eggplant and beans, what should I send?"

"What do you have at home?" Mrs. Duan asked.

Song Zhaodi thought about it: "It seems that there is only money."

Sister-in-law Duan choked for a moment, then she laughed and joked: "Then give me the money."

Song Zhaodi also realized that her mouth was too fast, and was a little embarrassed: "I'll discuss with Jianguo later."

In the noon, Zhong Jianguo came back with a change of clothes and shoes, told Song Zhaodi to take care of the house, and then got in the car and left.

The eldest baby and the second baby are used to it, they should eat and drink, and they don't even say look at his dad.

Song Zhaodi married Zhong Jianguo for more than half a year. It was the first time I saw him in such a hurry, and I was inexplicably flustered.

May 25th, Saturday afternoon, Zhong Jianguo returned safely. Song Zhaodi's dangling heart came to the fore.

"

"That's right." Zhong Jianguo said, "In the past, you said that everything needed by the human body can be obtained from the sea. I mentioned to the cooking class that when we are idle these days, things change. I eat all kinds of fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, it's too filling."

Song Zhaodi was even more puzzled: "I heard what Sister Duan said, Lao Jiang's soldiers are harassing us again. You are not going to sea to meet the enemy, but to travel?"

, like a **** kid hide-and-seek."

Song Zhaodi heard for the first time that the two armies could play against each other like this: "Then what?"

"We come back to rest and play with Lao Jiang's people in another group." Zhong Jianguo said, "Although the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs are delicious, I still want to eat meat. Meat ticket?"

Song Zhaodi: "I don't dare to use it. At this time, the non-staple food factory should close the stall. I will buy it tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Zhong Jianguo got up and went to buy pork. When I came back, I washed all the clothes that the family took off last night. When I saw a few pieces of wood in the corridor, I guessed that Song Zhaodi and Sister Duan went out to pick them up, so I borrowed an axe to chop the wood.

Song Zhaodi woke up and found the clothes on the rope and the firewood in the kitchen, she couldn't help saying to Zhong Jianguo, "I like your self-consciousness."

"For the sake of my self-consciousness, make a big meal in the morning." Zhong Jianguo said.

Song Zhaodi has seen the meat on the chopping board, at most a pound, and a woman with such a little meat can't make any tricks. So I asked Zhong Jianguo to pick some green peppers and find some tender loofah.

Zhong Jianguo and his son don’t like porridge very much, they like to eat steamed bread and rice. Song Zhao followed Zhong Jianguo's wishes today. In the morning, he steamed half a pot of rice, made shredded pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with loofah, mixed tomatoes with sugar and patted cucumbers.
