Chapter 14: Suspicion

Name:Stepmother Author:元月月半
Zhong Dawa's mother is a citizen of Shencheng. It wasn't because she had to go to school, or because she was lazy by nature, but because Dawa's grandmother was afraid that Dawa's mother would steal food from the kitchen.

Zhong Jianguo doesn't know how to cook, and the food cooked by the big baby's mother is not delicious, and Zhong Jianguo never dislikes it, at least he is better than him and can cook it well.

Song Zhaodi put out the white rice porridge last night, Zhong Jianguo knew at a glance that Song Zhaodi could cook better than his previous wife.

A simple lettuce was cooked by Song Zhaodi, and Zhong Jianguo immediately decided that if there was no big problem with this daughter-in-law, it would be her. Because of this, Zhong Dawa was forced to promise to listen to her stepmother.

Seeing the golden egg pie today, Zhong Jianguo couldn't help but envy his son, and he didn't want to see the woman who tricked him into being too proud: "It's also the most scheming stepmother."

"Zhong Jianguo, do I have to make a cup of tea to admit my mistake, or kneel down and ask for your forgiveness?" Song Zhaodi stared and asked.

Leader Zhong waved his hand: "I'm afraid of losing my life. However, you have to tell me who you learned painting from."

"Painting?" Song Zhaodi was puzzled, "What painting?"

Headmaster Zhong: "The drawing you gave me yesterday, the drawing of the chair is the same as the real one."

"That kind of thing." Song Zhaodi said, "Anyone who knows a little about sketching can draw it."

Zhong Jianguo snorted and didn't believe it at all: "How can I find out that everything becomes so simple in your mouth."

"Because I'm a smart person and a simple person." Song Zhaodi said, "I seem to hear your third child cry."

Zhong Jianguo: "You think I'll-"

"Dad, Daddy, brother is awake."

Zhong Dawa's voice came from the stairs. Zhong Jianguo got up and ran out.

"Pfft!" Song Zhaodi laughed.

Zhong Jianguo staggered, looked back at her, and said, "Big baby, Erwa, come down and ask your stepmother to wash your faces."

"Small belly and chicken intestines." Song Zhaodi brought the cabbage and egg pancakes to the small square table, and then added a few bowls of porridge. Seeing that Dawa was holding Erwa waiting for a while, she wiped the dirt on her hands. White porridge, holding one in each hand, "I have another porridge this morning, noodles at noon, and steamed buns in the afternoon."

Zhong Jianguo came out holding Sanwa and threw Sanwa's diaper beside the water pressure well. Hearing Song Zhaodi's words, he quickly reminded: "Don't steam too much, just steam ten or so enough for two days. already."

"How much do you eat?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "I don't come back at noon. I don't eat much at night. The weather here is humid, and the steamed buns will get moldy after three or four days. "

"Didn't lie to me?" Song Zhaodi didn't believe it.

Zhong Jianguo glanced at her: "You think I am you."

"Dad, daddy, chicken, chicken." Zhong Dawa said loudly.

Zhong Jianguo: "I remember everything you said."

After dinner, Zhong Jianguo saw that it was not even eight o'clock, so he cleaned the pots and bowls before going to the camp with his portfolio.

When Zhong Jianguo went home for a blind date, Mr. Liu suggested that Zhong Jianguo bring guards. Zhong Jianguo felt that it would be a shame to bring a "bodyguard" back. He had no place to stay at his house, and the guards lived in the guest house, so he ordered the guards to stay here.

After Zhong Jianguo left, his guard Xiao Li was completely idle. As soon as he heard that Zhong Jianguo was back yesterday, Xiao Li ran to Zhong's house. When he saw the smoke from the chimney at the door, he realized that the Zhong family was cooking, and Xiao Li went back.

"The spirit is good." Zhong Jianguo looked at him, "Is Political Commissar Zhang there?"

Little Li: "Reporting to the head of the delegation, Political Commissar Zhang is here."

Before Xiao Li became a security guard for Zhong Jianguo, he did a lot of housework for the family members of the military. This kind of thing was used to him, so he gave Zhong Jianguo a salute and ran to Zhong's house.

Song Zhaodi heard the knock on the door and wanted to get up to open the door. She saw the chrysanthemum in her left hand and the shovel in her right hand: "Dad, go open the door."

"There is no lock on the door, come in." Da Wa stood up and saw the big head above the bamboo raft door, "It's Uncle Li who is here."

Song Zhaodi deliberately asked: "Who are you talking to?"

The child opened his mouth to say "you", but he remembered that his father told him that he couldn't be rude, and he didn't want to call his mother, so he pointed at the brother next to him: "Er baby."

"Little clever ghost." Song Zhaodi said and greeted him, "Little Li looking for Captain Zhong?"

Xiao Li smiled: "No. The head of the regiment asked me to come and see what I can do for my sister-in-law."

"Did he tell you that?" Song Zhaodi asked, "Didn't the other side tell you?"

Xiao Li thought about it carefully: "No."

"My chicken dad didn't say anything?" Zhong Dawa asked quickly.

Xiao Li didn't understand: "What chicken?"

"Wait for me." Song Zhaodi turned around and went back to the house, rubbing Zhong Dawa's head as she passed by, "Your dad forgot, I didn't." She went to the house and took out five dollars Money and non-staple food book, "buy me a chicken, and seven or eight pieces of wood and nails."

"Sister-in-law, it's okay to ask me to buy eggs for you, but I really can't help you buy chickens." Xiao Li was afraid that she would misunderstand, "Our troops require meat tickets for pork, but not chickens, ducks and geese. Tickets, duck and goose are not delicious. If you want to improve the food, you will buy chicken. If your sister-in-law wants to buy chicken, she must tell the non-staple food factory in advance to buy it. "

Song Zhaodi's eyelids jumped: "Jian Guo didn't tell me about this."

"The head of the regiment may not know." Xiao Li said, and found that Song Zhaodi's face was wrong, "You don't think the head of the regiment deliberately didn't tell you? No, when Dawa's mother was at home, When she doesn't have any food, she asks the next-door sister Duan to help her buy it. The head of the group rarely goes to buy food, and he must not know that chicken is not easy to buy. "

Song Zhaodi turned to Dawa: "When you were in Shencheng, your father didn't buy vegetables?"

"Grandma bought it." Zhong Dawa said, "Grandma is bad, mother buys meat for grandma, grandma only buys vegetables and not meat."

Song Zhaodi: "You mean you and your mother live at your grandma's house, and your father lives in the military camp?"

"Sometimes live, sometimes not." Zhong Dawa said.

Song Zhaodi turned to Xiao Li: "Is that so?"

"I was still in the Eighth Company at the time, and I didn't know much about the regiment leader's house." Xiao Li said, "However, when the troops moved here, I heard that the regiment leader drove there. The sister-in-law picked up by Dawa's grandma's house."

Zhong Jianguo never took the initiative to mention Dawa's mother, Song Zhaodi thought that Zhong Jianguo was not good to tell her in front of her, it seemed that Zhong Jianguo didn't want to say: "The eight companies you are talking about are the Nanjing Road. Good eight?"

"Sister-in-law knows?" Xiao Li was surprised.

Song Zhaodi: "Balian is famous, and I heard it from my classmates. Take the money first, if you have chickens, buy a chicken, if you don't have chickens, buy an old duck, and buy all the rest of the money for wooden boards. Eggs and duck eggs, try to buy as many eggs as possible that will hatch chicks and ducklings."

"Then I'll take a look." Xiao Li turned around and walked out, noticing someone outside the bamboo fence, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing standing there?"

Song Zhaodi followed Xiao Li's line of sight, and saw a short stature, about 1.53 meters, dark skinned, thin woman, smiled and greeted: "Sister-in-law, come in and sit down ."

The woman smiled shyly: "I see you are very busy, I'm sorry to go. Did you arrive yesterday?"

Song Zhaodi opened the two bamboo raft doors: "I arrived yesterday afternoon. I originally wanted to visit the door, but the mess in the courtyard has not been cleaned up, so I didn't bother you." The woman's hand, as Zhong Jianguo said, has a lot of protruding bones in the middle of the finger, "Dad, go and move a bench for your aunt."

Sister Duan waved her hand: "No, no. How do I clean it up? I'll clean it up for you."

"Ah?" Song Zhaodi was stunned, seeing that the other party didn't seem to be polite to her, and laughed, "You can just help me watch Sanwa. I can do it alone."

Zhong Dawa promised his father to listen to his stepmother, and immediately ran into the house and moved a small bench next to Sanwa.

Sister-in-law Duan heard a sound, looked back, and smiled, "Dawa is really good." Then she turned to Song Zhaodi, "Is it really unnecessary?"

"No." Song Zhaodi said while planting flowers again, "Sister-in-law, I heard from Jianguo that the third baby is one year old, and logically speaking, he should be able to walk and call his father. He can't speak, right? Because we didn't teach?"

Sister-in-law Duan can grow vegetables and crops, but not flowers. Song Zhaodi refused to let her help, so she picked up Sanwa: "Sanwa's birthday is at the end of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and she is not yet one year old. It's normal to be able to speak. But, big girl, you have to teach Sanwa to walk in your free time. Sanwa will walk away, and ask Dawa and Erwa to watch him, and you can free up your hands to do other things."

"That's what I planned." Song Zhaodi said, "Does my sister-in-law know where to hatch chicks and ducklings?"

Sister Duan: "You want to raise chickens and ducks?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "I originally planned to buy chicks. I heard from Xiao Li that chicken is very popular, I guess I won't be able to buy chicks. After raising chickens and ducks, I won't need them in the future. Buying eggs and duck eggs, when a few children are greedy, just kill a chicken directly, so that you don’t have to worry about running out of meat tickets all day.”

Sister Duan: "That's the truth. I told her when the mother of the big baby was there. However, she had to take care of three children, so she couldn't raise them if she couldn't spare them. Li sent the eggs to my house, and I have old hens."

"Then thank you sister-in-law." Song Zhaodi wiped the sweat on her face, rubbed her waist, and found that a bamboo fence was planted to the end and only moved a quarter of it, she couldn't help sighing , "My Lady" is going to exhaust her, "sister-in-law, do you want flowers?"

Sister Duan didn't understand: "What flower?"

"It's a pity to lose so many flowers." Song Zhaodi paid attention to Zhong Dawa's expression when she spoke, "But if you don't unplug it, there is no place to raise chickens and ducks."

Sister Duan didn't even think about it: "I don't know how to plant."

"These flowers are better than vegetables." Song Zhaodi said, "You don't need to water, fertilize, or catch insects when you plant them. They bloom when they bloom."

Sister Duan doesn't quite believe it: "It's that simple?"

"It's not simple, it's all flowers that are easy to live." Song Zhaodi said, "How many will I shave for you?"

Sister-in-law Duan saw the bright purple and bright red in the small courtyard of the Zhong family and wanted to plant flowers. But when she saw that Dawa's mother regarded flowers as treasures, she kept silent, because she was afraid that the flowers would die, and Dawa's mother was not happy. When Song Zhaodi said this, Sister Duan was moved: "Give me two of each."

"Dad, can you?" Song Zhaodi asked.

After the third baby was born, Mrs. Duan helped the Zhong family take care of several children. Zhong Dawa liked Sister Duan very much, so she nodded: "You can give two more." She stretched out **** as she spoke.

Sister Duan was delighted: "Our eldest child is really a good child. Auntie thank you eldest child."

With the words of Dawa, the fence of Zhong's house was full, and Song Zhaodi moved the rest of the flowers to Liu's house.

Song Zhaodi planted the last chrysanthemum and noticed that there were green cucumbers, purple eggplants, red tomatoes, cumin and pepper trees in Liu's courtyard, and couldn't help but envy: "Sister-in-law grows so many vegetables."

"I'll pick some for you?" said Mrs. Duan.

Song Zhaodi waved her hand: "No need. Yesterday, Dawa's father bought a lot of vegetables, enough for us to eat for two days." He washed his hands and took Sanwa over, "I feel that the ground is wetter today than yesterday. , is it going to rain?"

"Yes." Sister Duan said, "If you want to go out in the afternoon, remember to put all your clothes in the house, close the windows, and it will rain as soon as you say it here, and you like the wind when it rains. ."

Song Zhaodi said with a smile: "I see, thank you sister-in-law. I'll ask you tomorrow if there is anything you don't understand."

"Okay." Sister-in-law Duan laughed, "Xiao Li is back. I saw him carrying ducks, I guess he didn't buy chickens."

Song Zhaodi hooked her head and looked at it, seeing Xiao Li pushing the door in and turning to Dawa: "Is the duck okay?"

"It's not good." Zhong Dawa pouted, "It's not delicious.".

Song Zhaodi twisted his face: "It's good to have some food. Sister-in-law, let's go back."

"Slow down." Sister-in-law Duan sent Song Zhaodi out, turned and came back to see that the fence wall had changed, she couldn't help laughing. Immediately, go to the house to get a sieve and pick cucumbers, eggplants and tomatoes.

Zhong Jianguo sent Xiao Li away, and asked Political Commissar Zhang if he thought there was something wrong with his family, should he send someone to check, or it would be better to send someone from above.

Commissar Zhang said without thinking that it should be handed over to the organization.

The two went to find Master Liu together.

Master Liu almost choked to death when he heard Ming Zhong Jianguo's arrival: "What did you just say? Please send someone to check on your newly married wife Song Zhaodi."

"Yes." Zhong Jianguo said seriously.

Seeing this, Master Liu couldn't help but get serious: "Xiao Zhong, if I remember correctly, Song Zhaodi is also your cousin's daughter? Your stepmother's main social relations are farmers, according to outsiders. , Song family root is Miaohong, cleaner than your home, what is there to check? Your wife is not a soldier. "

"My daughter-in-law is not a soldier, she is a college student." When Zhong Jianguo said this, it was like a thunderbolt, which shocked Mr. Liu and Political Commissar Zhang.
