"Do you want to pee?" Song Zhaodi asked, "Be careful when you go downstairs, I have to watch Sanwa."

There are also two wooden benches in the living room on the second floor. Song Zhaodi sits on one end of the bench to sew clothes, and at the other end there is a small quilt. On the quilt sleeps a child, who is the third child of the Zhong family.

Zhong Jianguo is not here, Zhong Dawa doesn't know how to get along with Song Zhaodi, but he wants to give Song Zhaodi a pair of eyes, and add a word "bad woman", and finds that the clothes in Song Zhaodi's hand belong to him, the child says "um" , hold the stairs and go down slowly.

Song Zhaodi originally thought that even if the child didn't call her a "bad woman", she would snort proudly. Seeing that he was so obedient, she raised her eyebrows quite unexpectedly.

"Wake up." Zhong Jianguo pushed open the small bamboo raft door and saw clearly that his eldest son was urinating on the flower again. He felt a headache, "Can't you go to the toilet?"

Zhong Dawa: "The toilet is too far." After speaking, she looked at the door, and when Song Zhaodi didn't come down, she waved to Zhong Jianguo and whispered, "Dad, she's sewing clothes for me."

"Who is she?" Zhong Jianguo asked knowingly.

Zhong Dawa pursed her lips and looked straight at Zhong Jianguo, you know who it is.

"Your mother." Zhong Jianguo said, "If you don't want to call your mother, just call your mother. My son Zhong Jianguo is not dumb, but a good boy with good manners."

Zhong Dawa snorted, turned around and left.

Zhong Jianguo knew that this kind of thing couldn't be pushed too hard, so he followed up and asked, "How do you know your stepmother is sewing clothes for you?"

"I'm wearing it today." The child turned around and noticed that his dad was carrying a lot of things, his eyes lit up, "Dad, what did you buy?"

Zhong Jianguo: "Eggplant, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, greens and onion, **** and garlic."

"No meat?" The child looked very disappointed, "I want to eat meat."

Zhong Jianguo: "Our family's money will buy you the big white rabbit, milk powder, and malted milk essence. I'll buy it when I get paid."

"I still have a lot of money left, enough to buy a chicken." Song Zhaodi was lying by the window on the second floor, "Buy some more chickens and ducks, I will raise chickens and ducks."

Zhong Jianguo raised his head and saw that there was still no smile on Song Zhaodi's face. He thought for a while: "I see. The big baby's clothes haven't been washed yet. I'll wash it for him, and you will sew it for him."

"A small piece of rot on the knee has been sewn." Song Zhaodi cut the thread, threw the pants into the basin, and put the third baby on the bed, before leading the dazed second baby downstairs.

In the late afternoon, Song Zhaodi didn't plan to cook dinner. She was afraid that the two children would wake up hungry in the middle of the night, so she scrambled garlic lettuce, scrambled eggs with shallots for the two children, and cooked some rice porridge.

A plate of green oil, a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions in yellow, served with white rice porridge, looks extra refreshing. Zhong Jianguo had a great appetite, and Zhong Dawa knelt on the bench and ate a mouthful of porridge and two eggs without raising his head.

Song Zhaodi was not hungry, so she fed the second baby to eat. Seeing the little guy eating, she was happy and curious: "Is it so delicious?"

"It's delicious." Zhong Jianguo said, "I've eaten lettuce before, but it's not as good as yours. I saw that you didn't put anything else, how did you make it?"

Song Zhaodi: "Apart from garlic and salt, it's just lard. Probably I put more oil. For example, my mother used a chopstick to poke a little bit of oil in cooking. The clear soup has little water and no flavor at all."

Zhong Jianguo: "Maybe. Big baby, is it delicious?"

"Delicious." The child raised his head, met Song Zhaodi's eyes, his face turned slightly red, and turned to his dad, "Dad, are we really going to eat chicken tomorrow?"

Song Zhaodi: "I will eat chicken tomorrow. However, you have to help me take care of my two younger brothers. You can't run out to play. Otherwise, I won't do it if the chicken is killed."

"If you don't do it, it will stink." Zhong Dawa blurted out.

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Then you may not know that if you smear the chicken with salt, it will last for three or five months."

"Dad!" Zhong Dawa turned to Zhong Jianguo, please help me.

Zhong Jianguo glanced at him: "Are you full? Go to bed when you are full."

"No." Zhong Dawa had almost eaten. However, he slept on the boat for a long time in the morning and then slept again in the afternoon, so he was not sleepy at all. So pick up the spoon and continue drinking the porridge.

Song Zhaodi slowed down when she saw the second baby eating: "Are you full?"

Zhong Erwa nodded, seeing that half of the rice porridge was left in the bowl, she secretly glanced at Song Zhaodi, and whispered, "There is still more."

"Give it to your dad." Song Zhaodi looked at Zhong Jianguo, "Would you like it?"

Zhong Jianguo said with a smile: "What's left of my son, it's not someone else's." The bowl was taken over, and there was another bowl in front of him, "Big baby?"

"I'm full." Zhong Dawa said, "Dad, help me eat."

Zhong Jianguo glanced at his two sons: "You two ate a bowl of scrambled eggs with shallots. You two are full." Immediately, he poured the leftover rice from his two sons into his own bowl.

Song Zhaodi smiled and was about to speak, "Wow", Song Zhaodi subconsciously asked, "Who cried?"

"Three babies are awake." Zhong Jianguo said habitually, go and have a look. When he said that, he realized that the person opposite was his newly married daughter-in-law, "I'll go take a look."

Song Zhaodi: "I'll take a look. You put the bowl away later." Saying that, she got up and went upstairs.

Zhong Jianguo watched Song Zhaodi's back disappear at the entrance of the stairs, and then said to his two sons: "She's not here now, you two tell me the truth, how is this stepmother?"

Zhong Erwa looked at his eldest brother, and it meant that he would just follow what the eldest child said.

Zhong Jianguo reached out and grabbed the eldest son's small ear: "This time, don't run away."

"It's a little bit better." Zhong Dawa stretched out her little finger, "It's only a little bit."

Zhong Jianguo looked at his son's insincere words, and sneered: "The second baby comes to supplement, how is the stepmother?"

"The food is delicious." Zhong Erwa was a little timid about his brother who was two years older than him. When he spoke, he glanced at Dawa and saw that Dawa didn't stop him. "Buy a big white rabbit."

Zhong Dawa glared at him: "I know what to eat. Dad——"

"Don't explain." Zhong Jianguo said, "If you like this stepmother, Dad will let her stay. If you don't like it, I will send her back to Binhai, and then I will find another one for you. How about an elementary school teacher?"

Dawa Zhong didn't even think about it: "No."

"Then I want this." Zhong Jianguo said, "Isn't it going to be changed? This time you chose it yourself. When your father is not at home, you must listen to this mother."

Zhong Dawa hummed: "Just listen."

Zhong Jianguo heard the sound of going downstairs, picked up the bowl and swiped the porridge in the bowl three or two times.

Song Zhaodi came down. Zhong Jianguo got up to clean up the tableware, sent it to the kitchen, and cleaned the pots and bowls before coming out: "Where are your dirty clothes?"

"Upstairs." Seeing Zhong Jianguo being so diligent, Song Zhaodi smiled, "I don't need to wash my little clothes, I'll do them myself tomorrow."

Zhong Jianguo said "um" and asked again, "Do I have to make something for Sanwa?"

"If you have milk powder, make him a bowl." Song Zhaodi was talking, and saw the big baby and the second baby who were playing together looking over at the same time, her eyelids jumped, "Is there any dairy cows on the island?"

Zhong Jianguo thought about it carefully: "It doesn't seem to be. What's wrong?"

"I want to order milk for the eldest baby and the second baby." Song Zhaodi said, "It's all day green and cabbage, adults are fine, children can't stand it."

Zhong Jianguo felt a little warm in his heart: "I'll look back and ask. If not, no—"

"Dad, I don't like drinking milk." Zhong Dawa said suddenly.

Zhong Jianguo is speechless: "You know you don't like milk before you drink milk?"

"Never drink it?" Song Zhaodi was surprised, "When I went to buy milk powder, the supply and salesman in Shencheng told me that milk was cheaper than milk powder and suggested that I order milk. You have been in Shencheng for three or four years. Never had one?"

Zhong Jianguo: "No." After a pause, "The mother may not know where to order milk."

"Can you buy milk powder in Yongcheng or Hangzhou?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "I'll go out and take a look tomorrow."

"Don't worry." Song Zhaodi knew that he was busy, "The white rabbit toffee I bought for them is condensed milk, which is condensed from fresh milk. Those candies are enough for them to eat for a month."

Zhong Jianguo pointed out: "You even know this?"

"I know a lot." Song Zhaodi said with a smile, "You go to the laundry, let's talk after the laundry is done."

It's too wet on Wengzhou Island. Zhong Jianguo smelled the musty smell on the sheets and sheets, so he removed them all. In addition to the clothes for a family of five and the diapers changed by the three babies, Zhong Jianguo was busy until after ten o'clock.

Zhong Jianguo thought Song Zhaodi had fallen asleep when he went upstairs, but when he got upstairs, Song Zhaodi was still waiting for him: "Aren't you tired after rushing for two days?"

"Tired." How could Song Zhaodi not be tired and sore all over. When washing her hair in the afternoon, she once wanted to cut off the original owner's black and shiny waist-length hair. Gein was too troublesome to wash, and his neck hurt from exhaustion. "But I didn't tell you clearly, and I couldn't sleep because I was tired."

Zhong Jianguo moved a bench and sat opposite Song Zhaodi. The distance between the two was one and a half meters. It was not like a newlywed couple chatting, but a negotiation between the hostile parties.

Song Zhaodi raised her eyelids and looked at him, then twitched the corners of her mouth: "Let's introduce myself first."

"Self, introduce myself?" Zhong Jianguo didn't understand, what kind of way is this, "You know about me, my stepmother told you."

Song Zhaodi: "You don't understand my situation."

"I don't know." Zhong Jianguo said meaningfully.

Song Zhaodi smiled: "I thought you didn't know anything. It seems I didn't see you wrong." After a pause, "My name is Song Zhaodi, I was born in four or five years, and my family is in Xiaosong Village. The three generations are all poor peasants, and the roots are right and the seedlings are red."

Zhong Jianguo raised his hand: "I know all this. When I joined the army, the street checked my social relations, and my stepmother's relatives were checked upside down by the street people. Your mother is my stepmother's cousin, They already found out that your family was very popular at that time."

"Since you know my family's situation, then tell me directly." Song Zhaodi said, "Graduated from high school in Hongya Town in 1963, and was admitted to Binhai Normal University—"

"Wait a minute!" Zhong Jianguo interrupted quickly, his face full of shock, "Binhai Normal University? Binhai Normal University, which is comparable to Binhai Ocean University? It's just you?!"

Song Zhaodi nodded slightly: "I am the champion of our county, and I entered Binhai Normal University as the champion of the county's college entrance examination. Don't worry, listen to me, last year the school was closed, and it has not started until now. After graduation, I only write high school in the education column on the file. To be precise, I am a college graduate.”

"Then why did you tell me that you graduated from high school?" Zhong Jianguo frowned, "You said directly that you didn't graduate from college, and I, I won't--I thought about it, you kept saying that you had a high school diploma? I was still surprised at the time, when I said high school graduation when I graduated from high school, why didn't I just say high school diploma, and you started calculating me when I co-authored it? No wonder I always thought you were weird everywhere."

Song Zhaodi rolled his eyes at him: "I think too much. You are a man who has three children with a dead wife, what is worth my calculation?"

Zhong Jianguo choked: "Then why did you marry me? Why did you come here with me? It's fine with my three children?"

"Of course there are other plans." Song Zhaodi said.

Sister-in-law Zhong was taken aback: "This child will cry if he wants to cry? If he doesn't go, he won't go."

"It's fine." Zhong Jianguo patted his son's back, "Don't cry. Let's go to Wengzhou Island tomorrow with your stepmother."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Mrs. Zhong didn't continue to ask: "You have been transferred to Wengzhou Island in the south of Shencheng for two years. After listening to you, you will not return to Shencheng?"

"The East China Sea Fleet has transferred to Wengzhou Island, and will be there in the future." Zhong Jianguo said, "Sister-in-law, I have to trouble you to help me take care of the three of them for a few days. I will go to Xiaosong Village tomorrow morning, the Song family. The girl is neither stupid nor stupid, she can work and take care of the children, I plan to get the certificate in a few days."

Sister-in-law Zhong was surprised: "So fast?"

"I have to go back on the 9th. Today is the 4th." Zhong Jianguo sighed, "We received news that Lao Jiang went to the Americans to buy some weapons again, and it is estimated that he wants to make a comeback."

Sister-in-law Zhong sighed: "This old Jiang is really not a thief. You fought him last time, why didn't you kill all his soldiers at once?"

"There's no way." As soon as Zhong Jianguo remembered the last naval battle, he was helplessly trying to hit the wall, "Lao Jiang's things were bought from the Americans. The Americans were decades earlier than us, and we didn't have any forty or fifty. Years, don't want to wrestle with the Americans." Seeing the eldest son sobbing in a low voice, he stopped crying, "I repeat, it's impossible to stay here, your aunt has to take care of your sister and sister, and can't take care of your brothers all the time. Three. Go to grandma's house or go back to the island with your stepmother, you can only choose one."

The child raised his arm and wiped his tears with his sleeve: "Go back to the island with you, no stepmother!"

"Who will take care of the three of you?" Zhong Jianguo said with an expressionless face, "I won't be able to come back until seven or eight days after I go to sea. What do you three eat at home? Who will bathe and wash your clothes for you?"

Child choked: "I, let's go to the cafeteria to eat."

"Brother also went to the cafeteria?" Zhong Jianguo pointed at his younger son who was sitting beside his eldest niece and was still unsteady.

The child looked at Zhong Jianguo's hand: "...I will make malted milk essence for my brother."

"My brother can't just drink wheat milk essence, he has to eat, and he has to go to bed at night." Sister-in-law Zhong reminded, "Without an adult by his side, who would carry my brother to bed? My brother is sick, and your father goes to sea to fight again. , who took the younger brother to the hospital?"

The child was speechless.

Zhong Jianguo thought he would stop making trouble, so he began to discuss with his sister-in-law what to bring to Song's house tomorrow. Feeling a pain in his leg, he looked down, and his eldest son moved his hand away: "What are you pinching me for?" /

"I figured it out." The child raised his head and said, "Dad, don't let that woman be my stepmother, but our nanny."

Zhong Jianguo was stunned.

Sister Zhong was dumbfounded.

"No?" the child asked again.

Sister Zhong regained her senses and was incredulous: "How can you think of such a young child?"

"Listen to what his grandma said." Zhong Jianguo was startled by the child's words at first, and thought about it carefully, "My mother-in-law used to work as a nanny in a tycoon's house in Shencheng for several years, and it is estimated that she was in front of the child. She talked about her being a nanny before, didn't she?" He lowered his head and asked the eldest son.

The child pursed his lips, nodded, and then asked, "Can't you? Then let's give her more money."

"The babysitter doesn't have the wholeheartedness of the stepmother." Sister-in-law Zhong thought to herself, your father goes out to sea every now and then, and every time he doesn't come back for ten days and a half months, the Song family girl will marry your father just to go to your brother The three are nanny, and don't have to pay wages. "The nanny has to go home during the festivals. If you don't want to do it, you can just leave. The stepmother can't leave if she wants to. She has to take care of the three of you."

The child subconsciously glanced to the south: "Grandma is also a stepmother, and my sister said that grandma is the worst!"

Sister-in-law Zhong turned to her eldest daughter, and suddenly realized: "I said why this child suddenly doesn't want a stepmother, and asked me what my stepmother looked like a few days ago. It was co-authored by you, a girl who was talking nonsense in front of him."

"I'm not talking nonsense. I heard everything you and Dad said. That woman is a relative of grandma, so she must be as bad as grandma. Second uncle, you can't marry that bad woman."

Zhong Jianguo had been worried that Song Zhaodi would be as restless as her aunt Zhao Yin on the way here, but he never thought that before he went to Song's house, his own house would be in chaos: "She is really like your grandma, so I won't marry her. "

"Can you tell? My dad said she was good to you and dad when she first married grandpa, but she'll pretend."

Zhong Jianguo wanted to laugh: "I'm 30 years old, not 12 years old. I can distinguish between good people and bad people. If you can't even see this, how can you lead troops to fight?" Turning to his eldest son, "Believe it or not, Dad. ?"

The child wanted to say no, but he thought that his father was very powerful and could bring Lao Jiang's army back to Taiwan. The teacher and uncle also praised his father, so he couldn't help licking his lips and nodded vigorously: "Faithful. !”

"Zhaodi, come out quickly, Zhong Jianguo is here." On October 5th, at noon, Song Zhaodi was washing the pot, and Sister Song came in and snatched the loofah from her hand, grabbed her arm and pulled it out, "Quick Go and change."

Song Zhaodi was caught off guard, staggered, and said helplessly: "Eldest sister, it's me who got married, not me asking for a wife. It was he who begged us, not our family rushing to curry favor with him."

"The enemy!" Sister Song stopped, "We are not in a hurry, let's go back to the house and wait."

Song Zhaodi did not forget that although her eldest sister was persuaded by her, she was actually not happy that she married Zhong Jianguo. Today's attitude has changed so much, is it hard to believe, "Big sister saw Zhong Jianguo? She looks pretty good."

"How do you know?" Sister Song asked, waving her hand to indicate that Song Zhaodi didn't need to explain, "You've always been smart, but I don't know where you got it.

"I told you that when my brother-in-law and I walked to the entrance of the village, a man waved at your brother-in-law and asked your brother-in-law Song Zhaodi's house where he was going. I heard him speak without any accent, and I was with a few people in the village who came from the imperial capital. The college student spoke very similar, and when he saw that he was in his thirties, he guessed that he was Zhong Jianguo. Your brother-in-law also guessed it, so he gave me a wink and told me to come back and tell you."
