Stepmother: 197. Father’s Day
Song Zhaodi: "It's not a big deal. Just like you did, notify relatives and friends to come and have a meal. It is possible to take her parents over. After all, Liu Ping married for the first time, and my aunt and uncle were not very happy. ."
"I thought I would invite someone to play and sing." Xiao Xiurong said.
Song Zhaodi smiled: "It's definitely not possible." She glanced at the child in her arms, "Why does this child keep sleeping?"
"When I was pregnant with her, I harassed me every day, but now I'm obedient like a kitten, and I only open my eyes when I'm hungry." Xiao Xiurong said, "My mother-in-law said that she was more obedient than Xiaoying and Tingting when they were children. Those two girls wrote at home. I didn't have time to take care of her, so I took her out."
Song Zhaodi: "When your mother went back a few days ago, I heard what your mother-in-law said, and she also wanted to go back to her hometown. When will the old lady leave? I'll buy something for her. Last time I left in a hurry, I'll give her a few I don't have time to buy anything decent."
"If you don't leave, it's at our house." Xiao Xiurong said, "Old Shen's eldest brother called my mother-in-law to go back, but I thought that my mother-in-law took Xiaoying and Tingting, took care of me, and sent the old lady to Going back, even if my sister-in-law doesn't say anything, I'm not very comfortable.
"There are only the two of us here. Let me tell you the truth, my mother-in-law is almost eighty years old. Even if she lives to be ninety years old, she will let us serve you for ten years. Besides, she can walk and move now, so she doesn't need to. We serve.
"After a few years, I was ill and I couldn't move in bed. I was busy with work, and Tingting and this girl took care of her. The two girls can't take care of her. We can still hire a nanny. Send her to the country, old Shen His nephews and nieces are married, and his elder brother and sister-in-law are getting older and taking care of them, but they are not good at taking care of them.”
Song Zhaodi: "Your mother-in-law can see it, you can tell her that. It will save the old lady from worrying in the future."
"I told her so, she wouldn't think I cursed her to die early, would she?" Xiao Xiurong asked.
Song Zhaodi shook her head: "No way. Like my brother-in-law's mother, she needed a coffin two years ago. They can see it open."
"Then I'll turn around and say that, say what you said." Xiao Xiurong said.
Song Zhaodi doesn't care: "Whatever. Anyway, the old lady likes me."
"Look how beautiful you are." Xiao Xiurong couldn't help laughing, "When the news of Lian Lie and Liu Ping's marriage spreads, do you think your reborn mother will curse you?"
Song Zhaodi: "Me? I am the chosen daughter. If she dares to curse me, she will be punished by heaven."
Xiao Xiurong laughed dumbly: "You are so shameless! You are still the daughter of God? God will let her daughter marry a widower?"
"Yes." Song Zhaodi nodded with a serious expression. Xiao Xiurong thought she was joking. I wanted to say something else, but I felt hot on my legs, so I hurried home to change the baby's diaper.
Song Zhaodi looked at Xiao Xiurong's back and shook her head, what's the point of having a baby? It's not enough to want to chat with friends. She is still the smartest.
Speaking of which, when the news of Lian Lie and Liu Ping's marriage spread, the Wu family and Shi family in the imperial capital asked someone to find out that Liu Ping was the cousin of Song Zhaodi's brother-in-law, and the matchmaker was Song Zhaodi. Self-supporting mother Shi Ailian is stupid.
When Song Zhaodi introduced the subject to Xiao Xiurong, Shi Ailian also thought about introducing the subject to Lian Lie. But Lian Lie didn't see anyone, so he just said no.
Now that Lian Lie not only agreed, but also married Song Zhaodi's relatives, Shi Ailian asked someone to find out how sacred Liu Ping was.
Everyone on Wengzhou Island knows about Liu Ping, so it's easy to inquire. When I found out, Shi Ailian was very speechless, waiting for the Lian family to be restless.
On the 8th of June, the 26th of the 4th lunar month, Liu Ping and Lian Lie held a banquet in the imperial capital. This day is Sunday, and Zhenxing, Dawa and Xinsheng also went.
Lian's family finally saw the legendary champion, and saw that the baby was handsome and handsome. Lian Lie's sister found Lian Lie at that time and asked him if the baby had a partner.
Lian Lie was speechless. He wanted to say that Dawa has a big idea. He also wanted to say that Dawa didn't want to find someone right now, and he told her that Dawa was still young, only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Lian Lie's younger sister was a little disappointed. Seventeen or eighteen years old, Lian Lie's younger sister looked like she was still a child.
On June 11th, Mrs. Duan returned to Binhai and called Song Zhaodi when she got home. Lian Lie's parents are very good. Thank you Song Zhaodi for helping Liu Ping find a good home.
Song Zhaodi has a purpose, she just joked with Sister-in-law Duan, you are still behind to thank me, don't rush to thank me now.
Sister-in-law Duan is a real person. She didn't understand what Song Zhaodi said, so she asked her what she meant. Song Zhaodi said that Liu Wei was not too young, and Lian Lie had to find someone to introduce him to him tomorrow.
Sister-in-law Duan understood, but she couldn't believe it, so she asked Song Zhaodi if she had thought of this long ago.
Song Zhaodi is happy, she is not Zhuge Liang, how can she think so much, just take one step at a time.
Sister-in-law Duan used to worry about Liu Ping the most, but now that Liu Ping has a good home, she begins to worry about Liu Wei. With Lian's family taking care of her, Liu Wei doesn't have to worry about her anymore, and she doesn't bother to take care of young people's affairs. After all, she is not too young to take care of it for a few years.
Sister Duan simply changed the subject and told Song Zhaodi that if Lian Lie could really find a decent wife for Liu Wei, she would ask Liu Wei to buy Song Zhaodi a washing machine.
Song Zhaodi told her not to use it, Zhong Jianguo bought it for her.
Sister-in-law Duan then said, buy a TV.
Seeing her like this, Song Zhaodi didn't persuade her any more. Let's wait for Liu Wei to get married. The eight characters have not been written yet.
Sister-in-law Duan heard that Song Zhaodi perfunctory her, hung up the phone and asked her wife to write a letter to Liu Wei, the main content is only one, buy a TV set for Song Zhaodi.
The relatives' home was arranged properly, and Song Zhaodi felt relieved. The third Sunday in June is Father's Day, which is June 15th.
On the morning of the 15th, when Zhong Jianguo went to the camp, Song Zhaodi took the second baby, Zhengang and the third baby to Hangzhou. On the way, he told several children that today was Dad's holiday.
Sanwa doesn't believe it, and thinks it's made up by his mother again: "Why haven't I heard of it?"
"This festival is passed down from the West." Song Zhaodi said, "For example, our country's Valentine's Day is Qixi Festival, and foreigners' Valentine's Day is February 14th."
Zhenzhen is curious: "Is there a Mother's Day?"
"Yes. May has already passed." Song Zhaodi said.
Zhen just disappointed: "Then why didn't you tell us?"
"I can still celebrate Teacher's Day." Song Zhaodi said.
Zhengang's eyes lit up: "Yes. Teacher, what kind of gift do you want, we'll come out and buy it for you."
"I don't know." Song Zhaodi said, "I have a husband, children, and a job. Thanks to Teacher Zhong, high school students all over the country know that there is a person like Song Zhaodi in the world, and I have gained fame. I really don't want anything. .”
Erwa wanted to sigh: "Mother, even if you want to, there is nothing we can do about what you said."
"Then let's have a good meal." Song Zhaodi said.
Erwa is speechless: "Have a good meal during Chinese New Year and festivals, and have a good meal for a happy event at home. We have a good meal for our birthdays. When we have time on Sunday, we will have a good meal, and we will also have a good meal. Nothing else?"
"A person is iron rice or steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." Song Zhaodi said, "You must eat."
Erwa: "Okay. What would you like to eat today?"
"What is there to eat in the restaurant." Song Zhaodi said, "Let's eat outside today."
Song Zhaodi didn't tell Zhong Jianguo when she left in the morning. At about twelve o'clock, Zhong Jianguo returned home, the door was locked, and when he asked Shen Ying, Mr. Song took his three sons, Hangcheng, to go to the city, and immediately wanted to greet Song Zhaodi's previous parents.
When I got home in the evening, Zhong Jianguo was about to get angry when he noticed two new clothes on the bench. He picked it up and looked at it, a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. Seeing that the size was his, Zhong Jianguo was happy and took the clothes. Just go to the kitchen: "made it for me?"
Song Zhaodi looked up at him and nodded.
Zhong Jianguo wanted to speak, but smelled a fragrance: "What are you doing?"
"Braised lion's head." Song Zhaodi said, "We ate it in Hangzhou at noon, and we came back to cook it for you after seeing it."
Zhong Jianguo was a little surprised: "What festival is today?"
"Father's Day." Zhen Gang said, "your own holiday."
Zhong Jianguo sounds fresh: "How many Father's Days are there in a year?"
"Dad, don't scare me with a belt all day, let you celebrate Father's Day every Sunday." Sanwa said.
Zhong Jianguo chuckled: "Then I would rather have only one a year."
"You—" Sanwa took a deep breath, "Seeing as today is your holiday, I'll let you once."
Song Zhaodi said: "The rice should be ready, bring it out. I will fry two more vegetarian dishes."
"Then I'll wash my hands." Zhong Jianguo closed the door when he entered the living room, changed his shirt and shorts before going out to wash his hands.
Song Zhaodi came out with a lion's head. Seeing him put on new clothes, she was speechless: "The clothes are ready and haven't been washed."
"I didn't buy it from outside." Zhong Jianguo said, "What are you afraid of doing?" He waved to a few children, "Eat, eat."
Zhengang sighed helplessly: "Uncle Zhong, I will supervise you in the future."
"Okay." Zhong Jianguo agreed very simply, putting a lion's head in his mouth before saying, "Anyway, you will go to college next year."
Zhengang choked: "Teacher, look at my Uncle Zhong."
"I will supervise him." Song Zhaodi said, and suddenly thought, "Next year when you leave, there will be only three children left in the family, and Zhenxing will come back the year after. When the three children also go to college, Zhengang and the second child will be born. It's time to graduate. Master Zhong and I are getting old too."
Zhong Jianguo: "You're old and I'm not old, don't take me with you."
"Dad can't get old." Erwa doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the fun, "Dad is eight years older than mother, and when she grows old with her, she becomes a bad old man."
Zhong Jianguo glared at him: "I'll listen to you again."
"Dad eat meat." Erwa put a lion's head on him, "Eat more, you will get younger and younger."
Zhong Jianguo snorted: "Stop coaxing Lao Tzu to play. Teacher Xiao Song, did Gengsheng call?"
"Fuck you." Song Zhaodi said, "I guess I'm afraid I'll introduce someone to someone else."
Zhong Jianguo is curious: "There are still singles in Lian Lie's circle?"
"There are still people of Lian Lie's age, but I have no one here." Song Zhaodi said, "If your niece is obedient and goes to a decent university, I can introduce you to the past.
"She doesn't live up to expectations. Your eldest brother is only a factory manager, or a deputy. Even if she is younger than Liu Ping and better-looking than Liu Ping, her family background is not good, and she is not good enough. She can only marry an ordinary person. man.”
Zhong Jianguo nodded: "She doesn't live up to her expectations. I really can't blame others for looking down on her, only herself. By the way, what happened with her partner?"
"I'm still in touch for the time being, whether it will depend on next year." Song Zhaodi said.
1981, May 3rd, Sunday, Erwa and the others turned over the calendar to see how many days until the Dragon Boat Festival, and found that the next Sunday was Mother's Day, Sanwa asked Song Zhaodi: "Mother, My favorite food, what do you want to eat next Sunday?"
"Steak!" Song Zhaodi spat out two words.
The three brothers were stunned.
Erwa frowned and asked, "What is steak?"
Song Zhaodi: "The steak is—wait, the phone rang."
Sanwa ran over and picked up the phone: "Mother, it's uncle, looking for you."
