Stepmother

    Zhou Shufen widened her eyes in disbelief.

    Song Zhaodi quickly supported her.

    Sister Duan couldn't stand it any longer: "Old Liu, what's going on? Finish it all at once!"

    "The old horse was seriously injured in order to save his soldiers." Master Liu blinked his eyes hard and took a deep breath, "Too much blood loss."

    Song Zhaodi was stunned. Suddenly he felt a heavy weight on his body, looked down, and quickly shouted, "Auntie, hurry up, hurry up and call a car, Zhou Shufen passed out."

    "Old Liu!" Sister Duan roared loudly.

    Master Liu suddenly got up and shouted, "Clerk, attendant, hurry up and drive!"

    The car came over, Zhou Shufen woke up, saw the person in front of her, ahh, crying.

    Song Zhaodi hurriedly hugged her, letting Zhou Shufen's tears wet her cotton coat. It wasn't until she heard Zhou Shufen's crying hiccups that she said, "Zhenxing and Zhengang are still waiting for you at home."

    Zhou Shufen froze.

    Song Zhaodi understood her very well. The person she admired most in her previous life died of illness. She almost died from crying, but she couldn't let her cry all the time. take you back."

    "No need." Zhou Shufen stood up and staggered.

    Sister Duan quickly supported her: "We will accompany you back, don't be stubborn."

    It was not time for get off work, but Mr. Liu came back. Master Liu also said that Zhou Shufen can see the old horse today? Sister-in-law Duan felt that Ma Zhonghua was coming back soon. Master Liu came back early, probably to tell Zhou Shufen that Ma Zhonghua had sacrificed.

    Just hadn't figured out what to say, Zhou Shufen came over.

    Around four o'clock, Mrs. Duan and Song Zhaodi accompanied Zhou Shufen home. As soon as the news of Ma Zhonghua's sacrifice was told to his two sons, Ma Zhonghua's guards came.

    Seeing the guard, Zhou Shufen asked, "Is Lao Ma in the hospital? Is he in the military hospital? I'll go see him."

    Song Zhaodi's heart burst, Zhou Shufen still doesn't want to believe that Ma Zhonghua sacrificed?

    "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!" The guard couldn't help lowering his head, "I didn't protect the regiment leader well."

    "The leader is here to save us."

    There are four people behind the guard, two nurses supporting two soldiers, one of them is on crutches, the other has a bandage on his chest.

    Song Zhaodi saw the scar on the guard's face and noticed the blood on the bandages of the other two, and tears came out all at once.

    Song Zhaodi couldn't explain why. When Zhou Shufen was crying in her arms just now, Song Zhaodi felt uncomfortable, but she didn't have the urge to cry.

    Sister Duan wiped her tears and sighed: "Where is Xiaoma now?"

    "The port." The guard said, "The commander ordered me to pick up my sister-in-law and two nephews."

    Song Zhaodi: "Then let's go." Then she looked at Zhou Shufen.

    Zhou Shufen couldn't help but "sobs" and nodded vigorously.

    Song Zhaodi helped her into the car, watched the car go away, closed the door, and then asked, "Auntie, are the relatives of Lao Ma near here?"

      "

    Song Zhaodi: "Can I contact her family?"

    "I'll go back and ask Lao Liu." Sister Duan said, "It should be in Lao Ma's file." After a while, "Zhao Di, can you come over at night?"

    Song Zhaodi did not understand: "Where are you going?"

    "Come here to accompany Xiao Zhou." Sister Duan said, "I will come too, but Xiao Zhou has a good relationship with you..."

    Song Zhaodi: "I know what Auntie means. I'll go back and talk to a few children and come here."

    "Hey, I'm going to find Lao Liu now." Sister Duan said, "He should be at the port by now."

     When Song Zhaodi returned home, Zhong Jianguo had already gone out, so he should pick up the old horse.

    The five children were sitting on the bench with their heads drooping, not knowing what they were thinking. Song Zhaodi went in for a while, but the children did not find her.

    Song Zhaodi coughed: "Are you asleep?"

    "Mother?" Sanwa raised her head and ran towards Song Zhaodi, "What happened to Ma Zhenxing's father?"

    Song Zhaodi looked at Dawa: "Your dad didn't say anything?"

    "My dad said it." The baby said, "He doesn't believe it."

    Song Zhaodi patted the little guy's head and sat down opposite his sons: "What your father said is true. You are not allowed to find out and go crazy these days, you know?"

    "We know." Dawa said, "Mother, I want to see Ma Zhenxing."

    Song Zhaodi: "Let's go tomorrow. You can steam some rice and warm up the noon dishes. I'll go to Ma's house to accompany you Aunt Zhou. I won't be back at night."

    "Doesn't mother eat?" Dawa asked quickly.

    Song Zhaodi: "It's okay to eat less." Feeling that the cotton shoes were wet, she went under the porch to change shoes and said, "If your dad doesn't come back, you don't have to go out to look for it, wash your face and wash your face. Wash your feet, seal the stove, and go upstairs to sleep."

    "I see." Dawa said, "Mother, do you want to close the door?"

    Song Zhaodi: "The door is locked from the inside. Your dad has a way to get in."

    The big baby took her to the door, locked the door, and looked back to see Sun Wanru standing under the eaves looking this way, she just lowered her head and pretended not to see it.

     "Brother, Ma Zhenxing's father has sacrificed, do you still want to eat?" Erwa suddenly stood up and said loudly.

    The big baby nodded: "I know. But I don't eat, so I won't have the strength to comfort Ma Zhenxing tomorrow."

    "Stop chopping potatoes, wash a cabbage and stew with the leftovers from noon." In fact, Zi Li was already hungry, and suddenly I heard that the other day they were scolding their brothers five "bear children" "The Ma Zhonghua sacrificed, self-reliance feels impossible, life is not so fragile.

    Song Zhaodi came back and affirmed again that Zhong Jianguo did not lie to them.

    I still don't want to believe it.

    Erwa scolded loudly. When the big baby talks about eating, her self-supporting stomach growls and she wakes up from her dream.

    Stand up on their own: "Rehabilitate, come and make a fire."

    "I'll set the fire." Sanwa ran to the kitchen and said as she ran, "My hands are cold, I want to cook the fire."

    Seeing this, he sat back and pulled Erwa to his side, seeing him pouting: "Are you still mad at Dawa?"

    Erwa shook her head and nodded.

    Reborn didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

    "I'm hungry too." Erwa weakly said, "I shouldn't be mad at Big Brother."

    I almost laughed at him: "Erwa, the big baby can eat because he knows that we can discuss what to eat here, many like Ma Zhenxing's father. Heroes are exchanged for blood. We must cherish them. When we are full and grow taller, it is up to us to guard the motherland and wait for our relatives."

    "But I don't want to be a soldier." Erwa frowned, "I like to make beautiful clothes."

    Reborn patted his head: "You make us clothes, we dress warmly, in order to better protect the family, protect father and mother."

    "Okay!" Erwa nodded vigorously, "I will make a lot of clothes for you in the future."

    Reborn smiled: "I believe it."

    "Brother Gengsheng, you know a lot." Erwa admired, "Obviously he is a little older than me."

    Rebirth: "I listened to my grandfather."

    "Zhong Gengsheng, come here!"

    Gengsheng turned his head and saw the big baby standing at the kitchen door pointing at him, "What do you want me to do?"

    "I not only call you, but also stand on my own, you two come to me." Zhong Dawa put his hands on his hips, "You told me before that you have no relatives, what happened to grandpa?"

    I can't help but blink: "Do you remember?"

    "Bullshit!" Dawa said, "Can I forget such a big thing? No! You two quickly tell what's going on."

    Erwa also realized that something was wrong: "Brother Gengsheng, aren't you and Brother Zili orphans? Why do you still have a grandfather?"

    "We are not orphans." Zi Li looked at Dawa's face with anger, and felt that he had to say it even if he didn't say anything today, "Keep your voice down, just in case the partition wall has ears."

    The big baby pointed to the bench: "Sit down and talk slowly. No one can hear it in our living room."

    "My grandfather had an accident and was locked up." Gengsheng said, "My father committed suicide, our uncles and aunts were sent to the countryside, we don't know where, no one Take care of us, and my mother will bring us back."

    Self-reliance: "Reborn is telling the truth."

    "Where's your mother?" Dawa asked, "Don't tell me your mother died too."

    More sighed: "Not dead. As soon as my father died, she married someone else. Leave us both at home to fend for ourselves."

    "Zhong Gengsheng, I didn't ask you to tell me." Dawa stared, "Don't try to make up stories to fool me."

    Self-reliance also couldn't help sighing: "Whether you believe it or not, what Gengsheng said is the truth."

    "Your mother doesn't want you anymore?" Sanwa ran over and grabbed Reborn's arm, "Brother Gengsheng, why doesn't your mother not want you?"

    Reborn: "I want to know more than you." After a while, "I probably think I eat too much."

    "Big brother eats more than you." Sanwa pointed at the big baby, "Mother didn't even say you don't want him."

    Dawa wanted to hit someone: "Zhong Sanwa, don't interrupt."

    "So my mother is not a mother." Reborn.

    Sanwa nodded: "It wasn't originally."

    "I mean they are different." Gengsheng said, "Dad, I didn't lie to you this time. My mother is in the imperial capital. Not only is she married, but she has a daughter."

    The baby asked: "How do you know?"

    "Dad told us." Zili said, "We knew it for a long time. You remember, one night we told you that we called Daddy later, and you disagreed, we knew it at that time. of."

    The big baby suddenly remembered: "I think you are hiding something from me, and you still say no. I will say it, my intuition has never been wrong. Hmph, okay, you two are hiding from me. All these years—"

    "You lied to me too." Erwa said.

    Sanwa continued: "I don't know either."

    "Don't interrupt!" Dawa glared at Erwa and Sanwa, "Jengsheng asked my mother if she had news about your grandfather, if there is news about your grandfather, you and Zili will get back to you. Family?"
