Stepmother: 300. Extra 5

Song Zhaodi think about it: "In the past two years, more and more people have gone out to travel. There will definitely be crowds outside the 11th long holiday. Let's not join in the fun. Cancan, call your father and them, the 11th holiday Go to our place. Wait for your winter and summer vacations—"

"Where to play?" Yan Yan asked hurriedly.

Zhong Jianguo is also curious: "Where are you going to play at the end of the year now?"

"No." Song Zhaodi told the truth, "The winter vacation is short, and after twenty-four or five, our family has to prepare new year's goods again, and we can't go out to play for a few days."

Yanyan is disappointed: "Grandma, are you not going out?"

"It's really not that grandma is targeting you." Song Zhaodi said, "We didn't go out before the year before, we all went out after the year. But you have to go to your grandma's house after the year." Pause, "Why don't we go to the Northeast? ?" Looking at Zhong Jianguo.

Zhong Jianguo thought about it carefully: "There is an airport in Binhai, let's fly from the imperial capital to Binhai, see your eldest brother and your eldest sister, and then go to other places?"

"Grandpa, what's the fun there?" Shuo Shuo asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "I don't know, ask your grandma. She will study where there is fun and delicious food when she has nothing to do."

"I heard that there is a street in the northeast where all the Korean snacks are sold." Song Zhaodi said, "I'll ask someone to inquire tomorrow. If it's worth going, we'll go there as soon as you have winter vacation. "

Xuanxuan is curious: "There are also Koreans in our country?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "There are many Koreans in the northeast. Just like although there is Mongolia, there are also many Mongolians in our country. By the way, you didn't lie in front of the computer every day and watch South Korean idol dramas last year. What?

"When we arrive in the Northeast, you can learn the Korean language from the people over there, and you can understand a little bit after watching South Korean idol dramas, and you don't need to be curious about what they eat, because South Korean food is not as good as the Korean people. A big difference."

Wei Wei shook her head: "Grandma, I don't like watching South Korean idol dramas, I like watching "Underground Station" now."

"Then don't learn." Song Zhaodi speaks very well.

Weiwei likes his grandma the most, so she can't help laughing: "Can my parents go with us?"

"Can your dad find time?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Wei Wei shook his head: "I don't know. But my dad said he would spend the winter vacation with me this year."

"Then let's go when your father is resting." Jing Weiwei said this, Song Zhaodi was afraid that her daughter-in-law would miss a few children, so she returned to the imperial capital on August 23.

Before getting on the plane, Zhong Jianguo asked Cancan to inform his uncle and uncle that he would come to pick up the child tomorrow. As a result, on August 25, only Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi were left in the Zhong family in the cadre compound.

As soon as the five noisy children left, Zhong Jianguo was really not used to it, and he forgot that his grandson went back with his parents after a little inattention.

Song Zhaodi found that Zhong Jianguo called his grandson's name five or six times a day, and took Zhong Jianguo to the Palace Museum the next day. After a day off at home, I dragged him to the park for a day. The next day, after a long break, the old couple went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits in the afternoon.

Occasionally, because it was too hot outside and didn't want to run outside, Zhong Jianguo would play mahjong with the guards and play games with Song Zhaodi, so that on the last day of August, when the grandchildren came back in the afternoon, Zhong Jianguo saw their first The sentence is not "you can be counted", but "how did you come back so soon".

Lingling was still young, so she didn't think much about it, she opened her mouth and said, "School starts tomorrow, grandpa."

"Grandpa dislikes you." Zhong Dawa laughed, "I hope you stay at home for another ten days and a half month."

Lingling ran to Zhong Jianguo, raised her head and said, "Grandpa, I miss you. Did you miss me?"

Zhong Jianguo was overjoyed and pulled her to his side: "Grandpa has been so busy these days that he forgot to miss you. You're not angry with Grandpa, are you?"

"Don't be angry." Lingling asked, "Grandpa, are you busy, are you hanging out with grandma?"

Song Zhaodi smiled helplessly: "We didn't go out to play. We've been busy cooking for you these past few days."

"What's delicious?" Wei Wei broke Xiao Yun's hand and ran in.

Song Zhaodi looked out and saw Qi Xuan behind her: "Did you agree?"

"Grandma, what's delicious?" Qi Xuan asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "There are potato chips, cakes, yogurt, pumpkin pie and brown sugar cake. By the way, there are also moon cakes, you can take a few when you go."

"Moon cake?" Xiao Yun said, "You guys are not too troublesome."

Song Zhaodi: "There are a few aunties to help, no trouble. Besides, I won't do it in the future. Your dad and I found a factory that makes custom moon cakes, and we ordered a few boxes for another day, and asked Cancan to send them to you. By the way, Can Chan, everything is in the kitchen, take your younger siblings to get them, and take as much as you eat.”

"Got it, grandma." Cancan used to eat potato chips bought by his roommate, and when he first ate it, he thought it was better than his grandma's. After eating about a dozen slices, I felt that the taste was not right, so I ate a little more and started to water.

Seeing Song Zhaodi, Cancan told her that the potato chips his classmates bought were strange. Song Zhaodi told him that the potato chips sold in the supermarket contained a lot of seasoning. After that, Cancan never ate any of his classmates' potato chips, nor did he buy them himself. Occasionally if I want to eat, I will endure it until Friday, and go to his grandparents' house to eat at night.

Speaking of which, Cancan found four plates, a plate of potato chips, a plate of cakes, a plate of puff pastry and pumpkin pie, and a plate of moon cakes, and asked a few younger brothers and sisters to bring them to the living room. He and Yanyan poured water for the elders.

Because Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo didn't go out on the National Day on the 11th National Day, Dawa and the others kept the holiday together with the National Day holiday. So the big baby sent Lingling to the grandparents' house and asked for a day off. Xiao Yun is the same. So, after sitting at home for a while, they go back, after all, they have to go to work tomorrow.

Speaking of the 11th National Day, Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi originally planned to take a few grandchildren to a nearby park. They heard Cancan and Yanyan say that the buses could not get on, and the private cars on the road were next to each other. The vehicle can move up to ten meters in half an hour. Lingling was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, and said that it was terrible.

Cancan said with a smile: "People's life is getting better and better, and there will be more and more private cars in the future. Now it's only a holiday jam, and it will be jammed every day in the future."

"That's true." Song Zhaodi said, "Cancan, I'm a junior this year, and it's time to look for a job in the second half of next year. Should I go out to work or continue my studies?"

Cancan: "Go ahead. I want to work in the Ministry of Commerce."

"Then you will stay in the imperial capital in the future?" Yan Yan asked.

Cancan nodded: "I told my parents, they said they would move to the imperial capital when they retire."

"Your house is big, your parents move to the imperial capital, you can get married and have a child, so you can live there." Song Zhaodi said, and suddenly thought, "Your mother is about to retire."

Chan Can: "Come on, there are still a few years."

"In a few years, my eldest brother will become a social man." Shuo Shuo said suddenly.

Cancan froze for a moment: "Social people?"

"Yes." Shuo Shuo said, "I'm a student in the school, after graduation, aren't I a member of society?"

Cancan is speechless: "You are right. We count you as the smartest."

"I'm smart too." Lingling said.

Cancan: "You are all smart, okay. Have you finished your homework? Finish your homework first. After a few days, there will be fewer people outside. Yanyan and I will take you to the playground. Ride on the merry-go-round, bumper cars, Pirate ship."

"Then let's write now." Shuo Shuo grabbed Qi Xuan on the left, and Lingling on the right ran to the study. However, I couldn't go after a few days because there were too many people outside.

October 9th is the 40th anniversary of the marriage of Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi. The holiday is over at this time. Because Dawa and Zizhi are on vacation, and Zhenxing and Zhengang are asking for leave, the whole family gathered at the cadre meeting. hospital.

After a lively day, my son and daughter-in-law went back. Zhong Jianguo, Song Zhaodi and seven grandchildren were left in the courtyard. However, Dawa, Zili and Sanwa were still on vacation, so Dawa came again early the next morning.

Song Zhaodi turned to the game room when she saw Dawa entering the door: "Zhong Dawa, sit down, I have something to tell you."

"Mother, your grandchildren have grown up, so don't call me Dawa, okay?" Dawa stopped and said.

Song Zhaodi: "I call you Zhong Jianqiang? Don't you call it strong and strong all day long? Call you Major General Zhong?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Da Wa said, "What do you like to shout. What's the matter?"

Zhong Jianguo: "Your mother wants to ask Lingling to learn a talent, do you think it is the violin or the piano?"

"What does Lingling want to learn?" Dawa asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "She just likes to jump around." After a pause, he said, "Erwa taught Shuo Shuo how to draw, and Shuo Shuo wanted to teach her, but she stopped learning for a day."

"Then don't learn it." Dawa said, "I didn't learn any talent when I was a child, and I didn't mix it up like this."

Song Zhaodi: "Then how could you be admitted to university at the age of sixteen?"

"You and my dad taught it." Da Wa said.

Song Zhaodi: "Because of me and your father, your starting point is higher than others. Today's children have learned several talents, so your daughter's starting point is lower than others. You think she has grown up and still Can you be as promising as you?" Before he could speak, he added, "You can say that your daughter doesn't have to work so hard, and you can support her in the future. But when she grows up, she sees her peers who know a little bit about everything, and a little bit about everything. , what will she think?"

"What if Lingling doesn't want to learn?" Dawa asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "You don't have to worry about this, your mother has a way. If you learn the violin, you can buy a violin for Lingling, and if you learn the piano, you can buy a piano."

"Then wait for me to go back and discuss with your daughter-in-law." Dawa said, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow?"

Song Zhaodi: "Don't play the game for a while and forget it."

"No, no." Da Wa went back in the evening, but instead of going home, he went straight to the hospital to find his wife. Two days later, a piano for beginners was delivered.

The next day, Song Zhaodi asked the guards to buy her an identical one. The guard came back and told Song Zhaodi that the piano she bought was very cheap, and she still had half of the money left. Song Zhaodi didn’t complain that she was stingy because she didn’t expect to train Lingling to be a performer. What kind of piano would she use for Lingling? it's the same. If Lingling can persevere, then change the piano.

Lingling saw another piano and couldn't help but ask: "Grandma, why do you buy so many pianos?"

"I want to learn piano." Song Zhaodi said, "I still want Lingling to accompany me, will you accompany grandma to learn piano?"

Zhong Jianguo followed and said, "Lingling is definitely willing to accompany you. Right? Lingling."

"I don't want to learn piano." Lingling hesitated for a moment, then spoke her mind.

Song Zhaodi: "When Lingling is doing her homework, grandma will accompany you. When Lingling learns taekwondo, grandpa and grandma will send you there. When Lingling wants to go out to play, grandma will also take you there, so you can't accompany grandma once. ?"

The little girl was guilty of what Song Zhaodi said and felt selfish: "Okay, okay, I'll accompany grandma to learn the piano."

"On New Year's Day, I will take you to KTV to sing." Song Zhaodi said.

Hyun Hyun hurriedly asked: "Grandma, take us there?"

"When Lingling and I were learning the piano, you were learning painting with Shuoshuo in the study, and I'll take you there." Song Zhaodi said, "After the year, I'll give you a few days off and take you to the South China Sea. "

Shuoshuo opened his mouth: "South China Sea? Is it the South China Sea with coconuts?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi nodded.

Shuo Shuo stretched out her hand: "Grandma, the hook can't be changed for a hundred years."

"When did I lie to you?" Song Zhaodi helplessly stretched out her little finger, "When you learn something, I will ask your dad to take you abroad to play."

Qi Xuan squeezed Shuosuo aside: "Which country?"

"Go to which country you want to go," Song Zhaodi said.

Xuanxuan heard something wrong: "Grandma, grandpa, aren't you going?"

"Your grandfather also wants to go." Song Zhaodi said, "It takes a long time to fly abroad. Your grandfather is too old and his body can't take it."

Xuanxuan was a little disappointed: "Then I won't go either, I'll be at home with my grandparents."

"I'm not going either." Wei Wei said.

Zhong Jianguo immediately felt relieved: "You can take more photos abroad and bring us some local specialties."

"It's too early to talk about this." Song Zhaodi said, "You don't listen well in class, your studies are regressing, and if you want to go abroad, I won't ask your dad to take you there." Looking at Shuosuo, he said.

Shuo Shuo hurriedly said: "I am very serious in class, grandma."

"If you take it seriously, it doesn't matter if you say it." Song Zhaodi said, "I will go abroad at the end of next year. The year after that, I will ask Erwa to take you to the model catwalk."

Qi Xuan did the math: "Grandma, what about next summer vacation?"

"Next year is 2008, our country will host the Olympic Games, have you forgotten?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Qi Xuan remembered: "We have to watch the Olympics. Grandma, I like watching basketball."

"Then let's watch basketball." Zhong Jianguo said.

Lingling hurriedly asked: "Grandma, do you have taekwondo?"

"There should be." Song Zhaodi never paid attention to the Olympics in her last life. In this life, she felt that she didn't have to worry about Olympic tickets. Just call Erwa and he will deliver the tickets. Song Zhaodi didn't pay much attention to the Olympic Games, "I'll check it online later."

Find out, Song Zhaodi copied down the game and gave it to a few children and asked a few grandchildren to choose, but no one was interested in football. Zhong Jianguo noticed Song Zhaodi's frown and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Do you like watching football games?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Zhong Jianguo didn't even think about it: "I'm looking for abuse."

"You can look forward to this year's football game." Song Zhaodi said.

Zhong Jianguo wanted to ask, what do you know. Seeing that several grandchildren were nearby, I didn't ask. In the evening, when I returned to the bedroom with Song Zhaodi, I asked, "What do you mean by looking forward to it?"

At this time, the mobile phone can access the Internet. Song Zhaodi took out the mobile phone, searched for a photo of a little girl, and pointed it to Zhong Jianguo: "Do you know who she is?"

"It's the daughter of the actress you like very much." Zhong Jianguo said, "I took a lot of commercials when I was young. What happened to her?"

Song Zhaodi: "She is the one who sponsored my schooling."

"She?!" Zhong Jianguo couldn't help widening his eyes and took away her cell phone, "This little girl?"

Song Zhaodi: "This little girl is a white and rich beauty. When she grows up, she will marry a tall, rich and handsome husband. Her handsome, rich and handsome husband is a child of a rich family. ?"

"Yes." Zhong Jianguo said, "How about we buy some lottery tickets tomorrow?"

Song Zhaodi is speechless: "Are you short of money?"

"There is no shortage." Zhong Jianguo said, "I will remind Cancan and Yanyan that they can go to the sports lottery store to buy football lottery tickets. They must buy our country to lose, and then we buy the national team to win. When the game is over, let me know. They. That—"

Song Zhaodi: "Then they are so angry that they vomit blood."

"That's what I thought." Zhong Jianguo said.

Song Zhaodi was happy: "Okay. You'll be happy."

On the last day of the 2008 Olympic Games, the football event was over. Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo watched the football match, went home to rest for a while, and went to watch the closing ceremony in the evening.

At that time, the school had not even started, and the closing ceremony was over. Cancan and Yanyan returned to the cadre compound with Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo.

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhong Jianguo asked his two eldest grandsons, "I heard from your grandmother, how much did you earn from buying football quizzes?"

"I didn't earn a cent, and I even lost all the money they earned from their part-time jobs." Xuanxuan said with a smile, "I reminded them to buy less, and they still think I'm a little kid. How about now?"

Cancan glared at him: "I don't talk much like you."

Zhong Jianguo glanced at him and asked the attendant to take out the football quiz ticket he bought. The attendant not only took out a stack of tickets, but also took a stack of cash and put it in front of Zhong Jianguo.

"The principal is one hundred, count how many." Zhong Jianguo pouted at the money on the coffee table.

Cancan didn't react for a while. He picked it up and took a look. Yishui's national team won peace, but only one lost. Looking closely, the one that bought the national team's loss was the last game the national football team participated in. At that time, he bought the national football team to win, but the national football team lost and tried his best. The loss was not too ugly: "Grandpa, you have inside information, why didn't you tell me?"

"What is the inside information?" Zhong Jianguo said, "You didn't watch the interviews with the national football players after the game? They didn't know they could win, so they played every game as the last one, and tried their best to be able to connect with each other. Several wins."

Song Zhaodi: "Allow me to remind you that the family members of some national football players bought the national football team and lost. If there is inside information, they don't tell their own family, but tell your grandfather? People think there is no place to spend too much money?"

"Then, how did you buy it?" Yan Yan asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "I didn't buy much, I just bought it against you."

"You..." Cancan opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, "No wonder you always ask me which team to buy before I buy it. Grandpa, you are too much!"

Zhong Jianguo asked with a smile: "Why am I going too far? Have I told you that you have to support the national football team for your own sake. But you say that supporting the national football team is a waste of money. Having said that, what else can I say?"

"Is it possible that your grandfather's feather duster beats you up?" Song Zhaodi said, "I also reminded you that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. If you don't listen—"

Yanyan: "Grandma, it's not that we don't listen, it's that we never dreamed that there could be a real man in the gang of soft-footed shrimp. No, he's not a man, he's just a bug."

"You can't think of it, it doesn't mean it won't happen." Song Zhaodi said, "Don't think your grandmother is nagging, if you encounter similar things in the future, wait and see when you are uncertain, otherwise, you will not lose a part-time job for a month. salary.”

Cancan and Yanyan nodded and said in unison, "I see, grandma, grandpa."

Zhong Jianguo pointed to the money on the table: "Take it to buy something delicious."

"These?" Shuosuo asked hurriedly.

Zhong Jianguo nodded: "Don't buy junk food, buy entertainment, buy fruit, buy steak, etc. You can go now."

"Thank you grandpa." Shuoshuo grabbed the money, "I counted how many. Grandpa, if we haven't decided what to buy, can we divide the money?"

Zhong Jianguo: "Yes."

"Fifth brother, I don't want more, just give me five hundred." Lingling said.

Shuoshuo raised her head sharply: "You are not small? You are five hundred per person, and seven people are three thousand five. You count it yourself, is there three thousand five here?"

"I don't want to count." Lingling said.

Shuoshuo glared at her: "I want to beat you. Grandpa said it, the average score. If you don't obey, I will return the money to Grandpa, and we don't score."

Lingling pursed her lips and turned to Zhong Jianguo: "Grandpa, the fifth brother bullied me."

"What do you want five hundred dollars for?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Lingling thinks about it: "I want to buy a sword."

“She likes fencing lately,” Hyun-hyun said.

Song Zhaodi: "Your second uncle knows a lot of people. Let her take you to the fencing training hall another day. If you can last a week, I'll buy you a sword." However, Lingling was reluctant to go after three days of playing. Practicing fencing is too boring, and learning the piano is not as fun.

Song Zhaodi is not surprised at all. But she didn't let Lingling go, and because of this, she said that Lingling disappointed her too much, she was very unhappy, and took the opportunity to take Lingling to practice the half-day qin.

It wasn't until many years later that Lingling remembered that when she was a child, her grandparents never forced her to learn anything, but she used routines every day. But because of Song Zhaodi's deep routines, after graduating from junior high school, Lingling can teach children to talk about the piano.

In 2017, Lingling was in her first year of high school. Before the summer vacation, she called the piano cram school and asked her when she would be able to teach children how to play the piano. Lingling wanted to make another money, but she wanted to go out and play.

In mid-July, the brothers were all on vacation. One person was pulling a large suitcase. The seven brothers and sisters followed Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo on the "Fuxing" high-speed train to Shencheng.

Walk around in Shencheng, then take the high-speed train to Yangcheng, and visit more than half of the country. At the beginning of August, the group returned to the cadre rest center. Lingling and a few older brothers were doing their summer homework, and Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo were not idle, wondering how to celebrate the golden wedding.

Zhong Jianguo is 80 years old this year. Since he went out to play with Song Zhaodi every three days, he was in a good mood and was in very good condition. He walked like a tiger, and he was with Zhenxing. From the back, they didn't look like father and son. Rather like brothers.

Seeing that her in-laws are so cool, Liu Jingjing told Zhenxing more than once that when he retired, they would also go out to play. Zhenxing also wanted to go out, although it would be a few years before he could retire, but when he knew that Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi were going out with their grandchildren again, he left his family and Liu Jingjing's plan, where they would go first after retirement.

That goes a long way.

Let's get down to business, over the years, Zhong Jianguo has eaten everything delicious, played everything fun, and even rode in the bumper cars that Lingling played when he was a child.

Speaking of bumper cars, Zhong Jianguo wanted to try it out, but he was embarrassed, so Song Zhaodi pushed him into the car and explained to the people around that Lingling insisted that her grandfather accompany her.

Lingling wanted to expose her grandmother, but she saw that her grandfather wanted to play, so she dragged Zhong Jianguo to play with the old man. As a result, the 50th wedding anniversary, I planned to celebrate it well, but now I don't know how to celebrate it.

Zhong Jianguo thought for a long time, and then said to Song Zhaodi: "You make me a bowl of chicken soup and pork noodles."

"Then what are you doing for me?" Song Zhaodi asked rhetorically.

Zhong Jianguo thought about it: "I'll make you a cake."

"A word is settled!" Song Zhaodi said.

Zhong Jianguo: "A word is settled!"

On the morning of October 9th, Erwa brought a big cake, the whole family got together, had a reunion dinner, and took a family photo. The son and daughter-in-law went back, and Zhong Jianguo took a day off. His family didn't want to go back to their own home, and the grandchildren, who had nothing to do, drove out to play, so they went to the kitchen to make cakes.

Song Zhaodi boils chicken soup and rolls noodles.

After four o'clock, the two of them made cakes and noodles, and just brought them to the living room when their seven grandchildren returned.

Zhong Jianguo wanted to curse: "Didn't I tell you to go out?"

"There's nothing to play outside." Shuo Shuo said, "We've played many times where the emperor can play. Grandpa, did you make a cake? Give me a taste."

Song Zhaodi: "It was made for me. This noodle belongs to your grandfather, not yours."

"No wonder you asked us to go out, it turns out that we are an eyesore." Cancan tutted, "I will propose to my girlfriend tomorrow, and this time next year, I will come to your house with my child every day."

Zhong Jianguo was furious: "You dare?!"

"What's not to dare." Qi Xuan said, "You can't drive him out."

Zhong Jianguo: "I dare!"

Cancan's face changed suddenly: "Grandpa, grandpa, just kidding, kidding, I don't have a girlfriend yet."

"Are there any boyfriends?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Cancan almost choked: "Grandma, you are old, how can you understand everything."

"So you don't even have a boyfriend?" Song Zhaodi said, "You really don't look like your dad. When your dad was your age, you went to kindergarten."

Cancan sighed: "I imagine him too, but our young people are under a lot of pressure. A couple supports four elderly people, and now that the second child is open, they still have to raise two children, and also have to provide for a house and a car, alas , I—"

Zhong Jianguo grabbed the water cup on the table and smashed it: "If you have a house and a car, you provide a **** car! Your parents have pensions, and they want you to support them? Get out!"

Cancan was taken aback: "Grandpa, you are eighty years old, take it easy."

"I'm ninety years old, and I can swing a feather duster." Zhong Jianguo said, "Lingling, go get me the feather duster."

Lingling smiled "hey" and ran to find the feather duster.

Song Zhaodi is funny: "Let's eat noodles."

"You eat cake too." Zhong Jianguo said.
