Stepmother: 182. Do more with less

Song Zhaodi looked innocent: "What did Head Shen say?"

"What did Mr. Song know?" Shen Xuancheng glanced at her and handed over the things in his hand, "Thank you."

Song Zhaodi didn't answer: "Thank you so reluctantly, let's forget it."

"He's just like a dream, Mr. Song don't know him in the same way." Xiao Xiurong smiled, "My mother said that thanking the matchmaker is the right thing to do. You have to accept these things.

"By the way, we went to the principal of Imperial College when we got home last year. The principal knew that you and I would be neighbors in the future, so he asked me to send you these two sets of college entrance examination materials. The principal originally wanted to send it to you, for fear of damage on the road. ."

Song Zhaodi: "I received a call from the principal. He said that no one bought this set of materials when they first came out. Later, someone found that after reading the materials and reviewing them, it was twice the result with half the effort. One month in March, the imperial capital was sold in one place. More than 5,000 sets."

"It's more than 10,000 now." Xiao Xiurong said, "Many children who didn't go to high school went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy them and send them to their relatives. By the way, Mr. Song, look here." Put down the bag and take out the book, "It still has your name on it."

Song Zhaodi looked up and saw that the editor-in-chief was the principal's name. In the editor's column below, her name was ranked first, and she couldn't help frowning: "What does the principal mean?"

"The principal said that many of the topics in it were copied from the workbook you gave him. Those topics were thought up by Mr. Zhong, but he couldn't write Mr. Zhong's name, so he wrote yours." Xiao Xiurong smiled. , "He didn't tell you personally because he was afraid that you would disagree."

Song Zhaodi: "Such a good thing, I will definitely agree."

"Then accept it." Xiao Xiurong said.

Shen Xuancheng said, "We have to go home too."

"Where's your luggage?" Song Zhaodi was curious.

Shen Xuancheng: "It hasn't arrived yet. We originally wanted to bring it back by ourselves, but we still thought of sending quilts and clothes to Dawa and the others, and then we thought of sending them by post."

"Then go back and rest." Song Zhaodi had long noticed Mother Shen and Sister Shen Ying in the yard next door. She took the things and opened it up in the house. She was happy. Milk powder, candy, and fruit were all It is a favorite of several children.

Although there will be no more careless relatives at home now, Song Zhaodi is afraid that someone will come to her, so she still sends the things upstairs before going to cook.

Song Zhaodi once mentioned to the principal that Erwa and Zhen Gang were in the same class, and the principal gave Xiao Xiurong two sets of college entrance examination materials.

As soon as Zhen came back, when he got the information book, he couldn't help but complain: "The principal is so knowledgeable, how come he doesn't know a better name."

"When the principal calls next time, ask him." Song Zhaodi said.

Zhengang shook his head: "I don't dare to ask. But, teacher, I think you have to change your name. Zhaodi, Zhaodi, you can see that your parents want a son."

"The name is given by my parents and cannot be changed." Song Zhaodi said, "They want me to change it, so I can change it."

Erwa: "Mother, Zhengang and I can use one set. You can send the other set to Liu Gen. Grandpa will definitely ask you to change your name when he sees the name on it."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Go and call your uncle and ask him to go to the Xinhua Bookstore to see if there is any "College Entrance Examination Materials". If not, ask the rehabilitate to send him a set."

"I'll go now." Zhong Weiguo is now the workshop director, and there is a phone in the office, so he doesn't need to bother others to call Zhong Weiguo for him, he just dials.

Zhong Jianguo came home and saw the name on the book, and couldn't help smacking his tongue: "Mr. Xiao Song, I didn't contribute to a question, but your name is on the book, how do you feel?"

"A good job is worse than a good marriage." Song Zhaodi asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied?"

Zhong Jianguo nodded: "It's okay."

"Dad said so reluctantly, you can say no." Sanwa reminded him.

Zhong Jianguo glanced at him, saw Sanwa hiding behind Erwa, and then said, "I see that Shen Xuancheng is back, do you know that Xiao Xiurong is Elder Xiao's niece?"

"On Xiao Xiurong's wedding day, even if Mr. Xiao didn't go to dinner, he would go over to recognize people." Song Zhaodi said, "He often appears in newspapers. He says that people are similar, but Shen Xuancheng doesn't believe it." He couldn't help laughing, "Shen Xuancheng said when he saw me, I am the most powerful person on the island, not the most powerful woman."

Zhong Jianguo: "If you can have a relationship with Xiao's hometown, the commander has to admit it." After a pause, "There is a big tree behind Xiao Lao, and Shen Xuancheng has made contributions before. I think he-"

"Will you be promoted?" Sanwa hurriedly asked.

Zhong Jianguo wanted to kick him, "Bring out the food and eat." He turned his head and said to Song Zhaodi, "As soon as another teacher has a vacancy, he will be transferred. If not, he has to continue to be his team leader. "

"Shen Xuancheng is not too young, even if he is transferred this year, he can't be a commander, right?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Zhong Jianguo nodded: "Others have been for ten or eight years. Seeing that they are about to be promoted, he jumped up at once, and the people below were also dissatisfied. The army is different from the local area. If he wants to climb up, he must have his own direct line."

"Even if he, like Uncle Liu, is still a teacher until he retires, it's enough for Sun Wanru to regret it." Song Zhaodi handed the meal to Zhong Jianguo.

Zhong Jianguo smiled and said, "Deserving it! By the way, Sanwa, have you heard Shen Ying talk about her mother recently?"

"He doesn't know. Ever since we settled with the Xiao family, the old lady has never mentioned Sun Wanru again." Song Zhaodi said, "Shen Ying's impression is that either his father pleases her mother, or his mother is with her father. Quarrel, she is going to annoy her mother to death, let alone ask."

Erwa was curious: "Mother, do you still introduce someone to Liu Ping?"

"Shen Xuancheng's daughter-in-law is Xiao Lao's niece. When the news spreads, Liu Ping may take the initiative to come to me." Song Zhaodi laughed, "Should we make a bet?"

Zhen Gang shook his head: "I bet with you, you will lose nine out of ten bets, and I won't bet."

Song Zhaodi looked at Zhong Jianguo, how about you?

"Let's have dinner." Zhong Jianguo gave her some food. "The news spreads out that Liu Ping will come to you or not. I don't know. Li Lanying will definitely come to you and praise you well."

Song Zhaodi thought about it: "It's possible." Seeing that there were still two poached eggs in the plate, she remembered that she had fried five in total.

Sanwa pouted: "Mother is really partial!"

"You didn't eat?" Song Zhaodi asked, "Then you eat."

Sanwa snorted, bowed her head and pulled the rice.

Song Zhaodi frowned: "What happened to him?"

"I don't know." Erwa said, "Don't pay attention to him, it will be fine in a while."

With a bang, Sanwa put down the bowl: "You haven't served me any dishes."

"When you were young, your mother fed you every day, but she hasn't fed me yet." Zhong Jianguo stared, "Did I say she was partial?"

Sanwa has no impression: "I don't remember, mother has fed you, you can also say that you haven't."

"You, you child—" Zhong Jianguo frowned, "Do you want to be beaten again?"

Song Zhaodi's head hurts: "If you don't want me to eat, we won't eat it, and we will quarrel."

"I don't." Sanwa glanced at Zhong Jianguo, "Dad wants to quarrel with me."

Zhong Jianguo smiled and didn't answer. Sanwa suddenly felt boring, took a mouthful of rice and stuffed her mouth full.

Song Zhaodi said involuntarily: "Eat slowly, it's still early."

Sanwa pursed her lips and smiled and nodded.

Zhong Jianguo couldn't help laughing and laughing, and he was afraid that he would explode, so he lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

Song Zhaodi had to go to class every day, Xiao Xiurong was transferred here to manage shopping, usually busy at work, and washed at home on Sundays, so that when the two went to the non-staple food factory to buy vegetables together on the Dragon Boat Festival, they only talked for a while.

Zhong Jianguo and Shen Xuancheng both leave early in the morning and come back late. The two situations are similar. Xiao Xiurong didn't gossip with Song Zhaodi when she saw her, what about your old Zhong's recent work and so on, and directly asked: "That woman is still going Looking for rehabilitation?"

"I called and asked, and I went there once a week as before. Now everyone in Imperial College, including the cleaning staff, knows that the reborn mother visits him every week." Song Zhaodi said, "I I thought that woman would be more restrained, but I didn't expect it to be so shameless."

When Xiao Xiurong was divorced, she was extremely disgusted with people like her reborn mother: "If you can't move the old man of the Wu family, you can't move others?"

"Even if you get the rest of the Wu family in, Old Man Wu can still get them out, unless your uncle speaks." Song Zhaodi said, "Your uncle is busy with national affairs, so how can you care about personal grievances."

Xiao Xiurong think about it: "As you put it, it's really boring to touch the rest of the Wu family. By the way, what about the Shi family? Don't touch the reborn mother and uncle, the rest of the Shi family. The old man of the Wu family will definitely not come forward. "

"It's a good idea." Song Zhaodi said, "It's not the early years, people are clean and honest, what is the reason? I have to think about it."

Xiao Xiurong smiled: "Don't think about it, the relationship between men and women."

Song Zhaodi turned her head to look at her: "Do you know something? Are you trying to lead me to this?"

"I don't know, but I know that there have been a lot of divorces in our circle in the past two years." Xiao Xiurong said, "Many are people who got married during the Great Revolution. You can take advantage of it."

Song Zhaodi's eyes lit up: "That's true too. For example, Sun Wanru didn't look down on Captain Shen at the beginning. In order to take refuge, he married Captain Shen, so he refused to let her go. There must be many people who are unwilling."

"I'll give you an idea, so don't take our old Shen." Xiao Xiurong frowned, "Sun Wanru is a woman who spares no expense. Now it's smooth sailing, and old age is miserable."

Song Zhaodi: "That's not necessarily true. People like her are very likely to be happy for a lifetime."

"She thinks so." Xiao Xiurong said, "People like Wu Bozong with bad intentions, now he is good to his mother, and when he is reborn, his mother is Lao Zhuhuang. If you don't dislike it, I will go to my uncle and help you clean up. The Wu family." Pause, "She abandoned her husband and abandoned her son and married an honest and loyal person, and she will definitely have the last laugh. But Wu Bozong is not that kind of person."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "You are right. However, I still have to thank you."

"I don't know how to make zongzi. The little girl was talking about zongzi yesterday. I'll go to your house to make it later, okay?" Xiao Xiurong said, "I don't want the sisters to know that I can't even make zongzi. "

Song Zhaodi nodded: "Who was it before?"

"My mom." Xiao Xiurong said, "Our family doesn't like to eat that sticky stuff either. I don't think it tastes good."

Song Zhaodi: "That's because you didn't do it well. I made red bean paste this morning, and then you pack some meat porridge, some bean paste, some salted egg yolk, and some more—"

"Wait, wait." Xiao Xiurong interrupted her quickly, "Can you put so many things in the dumplings?"

Song Zhaodi nodded: "We eat like this every year."

"Then you really know how to eat." Xiao Xiurong looked at her, "You didn't tease me, did you?"

Song Zhaodi: "No. However, those two girls in your family have eaten it before. They took the dumplings apart, and even if they didn't eat them, they could guess that I made the filling."

"Are there any other fillings?" Xiao Xiurong asked hurriedly, "You haven't made it before."

Song Zhaodi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Five-Ren Zongzi."
