Stepmother

Chapter 294: get together

    Two consecutive calls were received from Erwa within ten minutes, and Dawa thought something was wrong at home. I repeatedly asked Erwa if his mother and father were sick. Erwa said no, but Dawa still didn't believe it.

    Erwa gave Cancan the phone, Cancan said a few words to Dawa, and then changed Yanyan to chat with him. The eldest child believed that Song Zhaodi hoped that the whole family could get together, which was indeed a momentary emotion.

    In recent years, the eldest child can see several brothers every year, but every time there are three children but no two children, there are two children who are not independent, and there are self-reliance but no rebirth. Sometimes the big baby can't help it. I feel so busy, when can we get together.

    On the other end of the phone, Erwa said, if you really can't take time off, don't play tricks with the leaders, and they go to the imperial capital another day, and he can take a day off to get together.

    The baby promised well, hung up the phone and started to figure out what to do after the new year. Major events in the army, such as military exercises, are arranged months or even half a year in advance.

    The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in 1996, the Gregorian calendar is January 16th, Dawa opened the schedule to check, until July 1st, the day when the port city returned, she couldn't take a week off.

    Dawa thought for a moment, because Erwa said on the phone that he could not contact Zili, and asked him to contact him. After three or four days, Da Wa guessed that it was time for Zi Li to rest, so he called to Zi Li's house.

    This time it was Xiao Yun who picked it up. Unlike last time she was cleaning the room, this time she and Zi Li were having dinner. The person to answer the phone changed to Zili, and Zili heard Dawa say that the port city has returned to the arms of the motherland, and it is time for them to go home and get together.

    For the first time, the big girl who felt that her mouth was full of trains finally said a decent word. Then he asked Dawa when he had time, and Dawa said he didn't have time in the first half of the year. Self-reliance said that he tried not to take long vacations in the first half of the year.

    Dawa and Zili agreed to bomb Sanwa. On the day Zili went to Sanwa's house to see Xuanxuan, Sanwa was in the army, and the two brothers were staggered, so the last time Sanwa saw Zili was when he got married.

    Sanwa has not been back to the island for more than a year, and wants to go home to have a look. Although she doesn't want Dawa to be happy, she told Dawa that he will leave the vacation in the second half of the year.

    September 16, 1997, August 15th of the lunar calendar, Dawa called her home and told Song Zhaodi that they would go back on the morning of October 4th.

    Song Zhaodi was very happy, and when she was happy, she couldn't help but take bad water: "Are you coming with them?"

    "Yes." Dawa said, "Take a plane from the imperial capital."

    Song Zhaodi rolled her eyes: "Zili and Sanwa both bring their daughter-in-law, what do you bring?"

    The other end of the phone was quiet, and for a while, Song Zhaodi suspected that he had hung up. The big baby's voice came over: "Mother, my heart hurts." Song Zhaodi didn't allow her to speak, but she was full of vitality, "I'll bring Xuanxuan."

    Song Zhaodi was speechless: "That's Sanwa's son."

    "Will Sanwa not give it to me?" Dawa asked rhetorically.

    Song Zhaodi scolded, "Bandits." and hung up the phone.

    On the morning of October 4th, Song Zhaodi asked Xiao Fang, the steward, to cook some porridge and eggs, and fry two dishes of side dishes. While Zhong Jianguo went to the toilet, she drove Zhong Jianguo's car to go to the dishes market.

    Zhong Jianguo came out of the toilet and felt that something was wrong. He walked around the house and saw Xiao Fang alone: ​​"Where is Teacher Song? Xiao Fang."

    "Going to buy vegetables." Xiao Fang said, "Mr. Song said Secretary Qi and the others are coming back today."

    Zhong Jianguo subconsciously said: "I don't even call me to buy vegetables, and when I go back and buy a lot, how can she carry it—" He froze suddenly, ran outside to look, and suddenly wanted to scold his mother, " Did Song Zhaodi drive my car?"

    "I don't know." Xiao Fang came out of the kitchen and saw that the courtyard was empty, "It should be." After speaking, he took a peek at Zhong Jianguo, and saw that he was full of anger and weak, "Isn't Mr. Song's driving skill very good?"

    Zhong Jianguo glanced at him.

    Xiao Fang froze in his heart, and quickly said, "I, I'll cook and stir-fry." After speaking, he ran into the house.

    A little after seven o'clock, Song Zhaodi came back, stopped the car, and saw Zhong Jianguo sitting under the porch with an expressionless face, looking towards her, and it was written that he was very angry. Song Zhaodi, who had been married to him for 30 years, didn't need to think about it, she knew why he was unhappy, and pretended not to know: "Come here and help me get something."

    Zhong Jianguo stood still.

    Song Zhaodi smiled silently: "If you don't come, I'll go call for Zhenxing and Zhengang."

    "Are you calling me? Teacher Song." Xiao Fang ran out of the room.

    Zhong Jianguo stood up and glared at him: "Have the vegetables been fried? If not, hurry up and cook the vegetables."

    Xiao Fang looked at Song Zhaodi subconsciously. Song Zhaodi waved at him, Xiao Fang shrugged and went back to the house to continue cooking.

    Zhong Jianguo walked slowly to the front of the car and saw that the trunk was full: "You buy so many things, how do you eat?"

    "You seven sons, four daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren, how much do you think I should buy?" Song Zhaodi asked rhetorically.

    Zhong Jianguo's face flashed a trace of uneasiness, obviously forgetting that he had a bull's head, he ate it in seven meals, and simply changed the subject: "They are all back, how do you sit while eating?"

    Song Zhaodi: "You men sit at the long table, and we sit at the generous table with Cancan, Yanyan, and Xuanxuan. Not surprisingly, Dawa and the others will be home at half past four. Let's have dinner at half past five, you come back earlier."

    "I have a few days off." A senior officer as old as Zhong Jianguo, in addition to statutory holidays, has dozens of days off every year, mainly for recuperation, "I was in the office with me yesterday. The people who have said it, come to my house to find me if something happens."

    Song Zhaodi is now the principal and no longer teaches the students: "Then let's clean up after dinner?"

    Zhong Jianguo nodded. After breakfast, Xiao Fang pressed the water, Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo washed the vegetables.

    After ten o'clock, Zhenxing and Liu Jingjing came back, they took over, Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo rested. In the afternoon, I steamed a few crabs, fried a few dishes, and the whole family ate whatever they wanted, then put it in the yard and stewed it in a large borrowed pot.

    Seeing that the big iron pot was full of bones and meat, the two brothers stood on both sides of Song Zhaodi, grabbed her hand, and asked in unison, "Grandma, I don't want to go to school this afternoon. already."

    "You can't eat the meat in the pot if you don't go." Song Zhaodi said, "You have to stew for four hours before you can eat it."

    Cancan was born in 1988 and is 9 years old this year. I don't need to think about it to know what time it will be in four hours: "I can't eat when I come back from school?"

    "Yes." Song Zhaodi nodded, "Come on. When the beef head is stewed, you can eat whichever piece you want, and you two will pick it first."

    Cancan swallowed and looked at the cauldron again, very unwilling: "How long does it take?"

    "Grandma never lies, do you think she will lie to you?" Zhenxing asked.

    Cancan shook his head, went into the room and took out the flaming schoolbag. The two brothers carried the schoolbag and went to school hand in hand.

    At five o'clock in the afternoon, Cancan and Yanyan came back from school and saw that the yard was full of people at the gate. The brothers subconsciously looked around, it was their grandparents' house, that's right.

    "Why are there so many people?" Yan Yan asked curiously.

    Zi Li heard the voice and turned around, "Cancan, Yanyan, are you back? Come in."

    "Uncle?!" The two brothers said in unison.

    Zi Li came back last year and brought them a box of cantaloupe. It was the sweetest cantaloupe that the two children had ever eaten. They hadn’t seen each other for more than a year, and Yanyan, who was only seven years old, didn’t forget to stand on his own.

    Cancan pulled Yanyan to run over and asked, "Uncle, when did you come back?"

    "I just got home." Zi Li said with a smile, "Put your schoolbag in the room, and I'll fish you some meat to eat."

    Chan Can was overjoyed, turned around and ran into the house.

    The big baby who was holding the long chopsticks and stirring in the pot looked up, saw the corner of Zili's mouth with a smile, and glanced at Xiao Yun who was washing peach gum with Shen Ying: "Now it's too late to survive. If you want to give birth in two years, you won't be able to give birth."

    "Xiao Yun is preparing for pregnancy recently." said Zili.

    Song Zhaodi hurriedly asked: "Really?!"

    "Really?" The big boy paused and turned to Xiao Yun.

    Xiao Yun sighed: "My mother is forcing her to die."

    "Cough cough..." Erwa who was eating grapes choked, "Aunt Pei?"

    Xiao Yun nodded and looked at Shen Ying: "Zi Li and I went to see your home Xuanxuan, and I went home to see my mother, my mother cried when she saw me, saying what if I didn't have a child? My younger brother and sister helped me persuade my mother, and she said, "Zi Li and I will grow old tomorrow, and we will have her son pick us up for the festival and celebrate with them."

    "It's okay if she doesn't say it. When she said that, my mother cried even more fiercely. She also said that if I don't give birth, she will die for me to see. I thought she scare me, who knows A week after I left, I don't know where she got the sleeping pills, or how much she ate, anyway, if the housekeeper hadn't found out in time, she would have gone like this."

    "Why didn't I listen to you?" Song Zhaodi looked at Zili.

    Self-reliance smiled bitterly: "My father-in-law is not allowed to say."

    "It can't be just because you don't have children?" Song Zhaodi said, "When you were 30 and didn't have a partner, your mother didn't urge you much."

    Xiao Yun nodded: "I also think it's not only because I don't have children, but I went to the doctor and told him about my mother's condition. He said that my mother was in menopause, and people in this period are like crazy In the same way, you have to follow her, you can't argue with her, and you can't stimulate her."

    "Isn't your mother in her sixties?" Erwa said, "It's menopause, it's this time?"

    Song Zhaodi: "Menopause refers to the symptoms that appear in a few years of women's menopause, and a few last for five to ten years. Xiao Yun's mother may belong to a minority.

    "Previously, Xiao Yun's mother thought that she would give birth in two years. Seeing that she has not yet given birth at the age of forty, and will not give birth in a few years, her mother began to worry, thinking like this every day, Little things add up. When Xuanxuan was born last year, her mother was stimulated, Xiao Yun went home to visit her mother, told her mother not to have children, was stimulated again, and then broke out. Is that right? "

    "Mother is right." Xiao Yun sighed, "The doctor said the same."

    Xue Qi asked: "But you are already forty, your mother doesn't think that it is dangerous for you to have children?"

    "When my cousin was born, my second grandmother was forty-three years old." Xiao Yun looked at Shen Ying, "Your mother's brother, when he was born, my second grandmother was cooking and felt her stomach. It's a little uncomfortable, the baby is out."

    Shen Ying swallowed: "It's that simple? I've been in pain for more than ten hours."

    "Really." Xiao Yun said, "That's why I told my mother at first, I'm not afraid of life, I'm afraid of raising."

    The big baby pointed to the person under the porch: "Commander Zhong said that when the child is three years old, he will help us raise it."

    "Really?!" Even more unbelievable, "When we were young, Dad wanted us to get out of the way, and now we want to raise grandchildren? Dad, today the sun comes out from the east, not from the west."
