Chapter 28： self-inflicted

Song Zhaodi was very happy: "Did I ask you?"

Zhong Jianguo choked: "It's useless for you to provoke me."

"Sanwa, ask your father to lead you to play." Song Zhaodi put the child on the bed, walked out without waiting for Zhong Jianguo to speak, and went downstairs with the cloth she bought earlier.

Zhong Jianguo came out, saw what she was holding in her arms, sighed, and carried Sanwa back to the room: "Son, sleep with Dad for a while." Saying that, let Sanwa lie down on the bed.

Children's habit is to sleep for an hour or two after lunch. He was in good spirits in the morning and didn't want to lie down, so he pushed away Zhong Jianguo's hand, rolled over and sat up and shouted, "Dad, Daddy."

Zhong Jianguo didn't close his eyes all night, and was so sleepy at the moment, um, he stretched out his hand to wrap Sanwa around his arms, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Sanwa hooked her head and looked outside, then looked at her father who ignored him, frowned for a while, supported Zhong Jianguo's body to stand up, crossed his arm, moved to the bedside. The child found that he was very high off the ground, thought for a moment, sat down on the bed, then lay down on the bed and slowly moved down.

Plop!

Zhong Jianguo sat up in shock.

"Wow...wow..."

Three baby's cry came from the ground.

Zhong Jianguo rubbed his forehead, stretched out his hand to pick up his son, and said helplessly: "I asked you to sleep with Dad for a while, but you didn't listen, you fell in pain. Let's go, Dad will carry you to find your mother. ."

Zhong Jianguo pulled his shoes downstairs. When the child saw Song Zhaodi, he stretched out his hand: "Mother..."

Song Zhaodi's hand trembled, the scissors almost stabbed her hand, and quickly asked, "What did Sanwa call me just now?"

"Mother..." Sanwa looked at Song Zhaodi pitifully.

This should have been very touching, but Song Zhaodi saw the child's snot coming out of crying, inexplicably wanted to laugh: "You are really like your brother, you only find a mother when you have something, and a stepmother when you have nothing." Looking at Zhong Jianguo, "What's going on?"

"I fell off the bed and my **** was on the ground. It's not a big deal." The bench in the Zhong family's house is 1.8 meters long. Zhong Jianguo simply lay on the bench and didn't go upstairs. Do it again, you lead him, I will sleep for a while."

Song Zhaodi glanced at him: "Are you really going to tell me?"

"I want to tell you too, but I have to be disciplined." Zhong Jianguo said, "Song Zhaodi, don't try to force my child into submission."

Song Zhaodi snorted: "I can guess it without saying it. Is Xiao Zhao from the other side?"

"Do you think she looks like her?" Zhong Jianguo asked in a meaningful way.

Song Zhaodi was looking for a towel to wipe Sanwa's nose and tears when she was talking, but she didn't hear what Zhong Jianguo said: "It's not like. She looks normal, but it doesn't match her behavior." Think for a while, "Could it be an intern?"

"Intern?" Zhong Jianguo didn't quite understand.

Song Zhaodi: "It's still in the inspection period, and I haven't officially started my job."

"Hey!" Zhong Jianguo was speechless, "You really can think of words. But, no!"

Song Zhaodi pondered while walking with Sanwa in her arms: "It's not like a regular worker, nor an intern? Could it be...a temporary worker!" After speaking, she turned to Zhong Jianguo.

Zhong Jianguo's mouth opened slightly, obviously not expecting Song Zhaodi's reaction so fast.

Song Zhaodi smiled when she saw this and said, "Master Zhong, why don't you tell me? Let me guess, there are relatives of Xiao Zhao on the island, so it is true that Xiao Zhao is from Hangcheng. of.

"Xiao Zhao dared to let others know that there are relatives of her on the island, which also showed that she 'everything can't be told to others'. So she is an ordinary person who was temporarily found on the other side, and she does not need to take the risk of inquiring Intelligence, tell her upline what she knows, and the other party will give her a sum of money. Her relationship with the upline is one-handed and one-handed, right?"

"You don't plan to continue pretending?" Zhong Jianguo asked rhetorically.

Song Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "Since I told you all about it that night, I haven't pretended anymore, and have been just myself. I don't know what Captain Zhong's pretend means?"

I will not lie to you.

"The main force of the East China Sea Fleet has not yet moved to Wengzhou, and Lao Jiang has already received the news. When Lao Jiang's people came to step on the spot, they met Xiao Zhao, and the other party saw that Xiao Zhao was lazy and lazy. If she is greedy, give her fifty yuan and order Xiao Zhao to please the officer's wife and find useful information."

Song Zhaodi: "Or the wife of an officer above the company commander."

"Yes." Zhong Jianguo said, "Xiao Zhao feels that everyone is the same, why should she please others, so she plans to be an officer's wife. She told her her plan The man with the money, the man said that if she could marry a regimental commander-level officer, she would give her five hundred yuan."

Song Zhaodi: "Xiao Zhao's monthly salary seems to be around 20 yuan, and 500 yuan is a huge sum for her. No wonder Head Lin ignores her, and she Keep an eye on Head Qian. By the way, Head Qian doesn't know about it, right?"

"I don't know." Zhong Jianguo said, "However, their family can't be on the front line anymore. Captain Qian has military achievements, and he has no substantial relationship with Xiao Zhao, so he may be adjusted. to remote areas.”

Song Zhaodi: "Even if he was transferred to the Northwest, he did it himself. Now he shouldn't dare to divorce Teacher Yao."

"If he hadn't been arguing for a divorce and stayed with Xiao Zhao for a while, their whole family would have been implicated by him." Zhong Jianguo said.

Song Zhaodi doesn't care about what happens to the head of Qian's family in the future: "He's gone, what about the soldiers under him?"

"There was a meeting last night, and the old horse took his seat." Zhong Jianguo said, "It's Ma Zhenxing's father. On the day you arrived on the island, drive our Ma Zhonghua."

Song Zhaodi couldn't help but open her eyes: "Why is he?"

"What happened to him?" Zhong Jianguo was puzzled.

Song Zhaodi: "I don't like it."

"It's not your commander, do you like it or not?" Zhong Jianguo was speechless, thinking she found something wrong, "Lao Ma has a little problem, but he has the ability to lead troops. There are still some, and only he is the most suitable for their group."

"Stepmother, why didn't you wait for us today?"

The big baby's voice suddenly came in, and Song Zhaodi swallowed the words she wanted to say: "Brother is sleepy. Your father is very tired, you watch your brother, I will cook, don't disturb your father's rest."

"Okay." Da Wa put the pen and workbook on the table. Erwa walked to Song Zhaodi, raised her head and said, "Mother, I want to drink wheat milk essence."

Song Zhaodi wanted to hit someone.

Zhong Jianguo was delighted: "It's really a mother who has milk." He glanced at Song Zhaodi and saw that she was not angry, but rather helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth, "Your mother cooks quickly, wait. Eat. If you're thirsty, drink some water first."

"Don't drink water." Erwa pouted, "I just want to drink malted milk."

Zhong Jianguo said expressionlessly: "Then you just wait for dinner."

Zhong Jianguo was not at home this morning, Song Zhaodi watched the three children and did not go to the non-staple food factory to buy vegetables. There wasn't much food in the kitchen, so Song Zhaodi went to the vegetable garden to make vegetables after reconciling the noodles.

Zhong Dawa sees Song Zhaodi's actions, and whispers: "Make green vegetables again."

"When your mother was here, I made green vegetables every day, and I didn't see you dislike it." There were a few children around him who talked from time to time, Zhong Jianguo couldn't sleep and didn't open his eyes, "Dad, don't you? Like this stepmother?"

Zhong Dawa said without hesitation: "No!"

"Don't lie to Dad." Zhong Jianguo said, "If you don't like it, let's change it."

Song Zhaodi heard this when she entered the door. Out of the corner of his eye, Dawa saw his stepmother and took Sanwa's hand, "Brother, brother will take you out to play."

When Sanwa heard it, she screamed excitedly and pointed her little finger outside.

"Really not?" Zhong Jianguo deliberately asked in a disappointed tone.

Zhong Dawa looked at the stepmother who was expressionless and seemed very angry, then looked at her father, who was too lazy to open her eyes, and grinned: "Dad, who do you want to change?"

"There's a female doctor in the hospital, I think she's pretty good." Zhong Jianguo said, "She's gentle, she's quite white, your stepmother is a black-faced Bao Gong compared to her, I heard that She is very good at cooking. The most important thing is that you don’t have to go to the hospital when you get sick in the future, and she can treat you at home.”

Zhong Dawa is like a child in front of Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi, but he is not too young. A six-year-old child is already a big child outside, and he knows far more things than adults know: "Dad likes that doctor aunt?"

"I like it." Zhong Jianguo yawned and continued, "Dad, this is the last chance, if you insist on not changing, if you don't listen to your stepmother in the future, my father will not follow you either. Nonsense, just beat people up."

Zhong Dawa looked at Song Zhaodi, who still had no expression on her face, and pulled the third baby and pushed the second baby: "Go, go!"

Zhong Jianguo thought to himself, well, I can finally sleep for a while. When his ears hurt, his dazed head was instantly awake, and he opened his eyes suddenly, "Song, Song—"

"Send me away?" Song Zhaodi asked with a half-smile.

Zhong Jianguo ignored his ears in the hands of the "enemy" and turned to the other side, there were three sons on the bench, "This **** Zhong is strong!"

"Female doctor, fair-skinned and beautiful, gentle, right?" After Song Zhaodi finished speaking, Zhong Jianguo's ears turned in a circle, and he gritted his teeth, "When are you going to marry me? When are you going to leave me? Lose?"

Zhong Jianguo was able to become the head of the regiment at a young age, relying not only on high education, but also high IQ and emotional intelligence, he knew this time to explain, even if he explained that he deliberately scare Dawa He said, "The youngest female doctor in the hospital is in her early thirties, and everyone is married. The person I'm talking about doesn't exist at all."

"Not now, how about one in two years?" Song Zhaodi knew that Zhong Jianguo was frightening the child. There was such a person in the hospital, and Zhong Jianguo didn't have to go to Xiao Song Village to find her.

If she heard correctly, Zhong Jianguo mentioned the 'last time', which means that he mentioned it before, maybe more than once. When she thought that she was busy serving the Zhong family, but they thought of replacing her, Song Zhaodi was so angry that her stomach hurt.

Zhong Jianguo really wanted to give himself a slap in the face. He didn't sleep on the good bed above, and had to sleep on the hard chair downstairs. Go to sleep and go to sleep, with so many words: "Zhao Di, Xiao Song, don't worry, even if I get ten gentle and beautiful female doctors, I won't change it."

"What not to change?" Song Zhaodi asked knowingly.

Zhong Jianguo blurted out: "Of course I won't replace the mother for the child, and I won't replace you."

"It's like you can replace me if you want to." Song Zhaodi exerted force on her hand, Zhong Jianguo gasped, Song Zhaodi let go, snorted coldly, and went to the kitchen to cook .

Zhong Jianguo wiped off the sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "Women really can't be messed with."

"What did you say?" The eldest child and the second child took a nap after eating, and then went to school. Song Zhaodi was busy cooking and didn't bother with him, so he dared to murmur.

Zhong Jianguo rolled over and sat up: "I said that the chair is really **** ugly, I'll go upstairs to sleep." Without waiting for Song Zhaodi to speak, he pulled his shoes and ran upstairs.

Song Zhaodi was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Coward!"

The next day, Song Zhaodi went to school and heard from several teachers that Mr. Yao had delivered the textbook yesterday afternoon. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still surprised - it was too fast.

After class, Song Zhaodi went to the non-staple food factory. When she got there, she saw a middle-aged woman handling the dry goods counter, so she walked to the pork stall: "Xiao Zhao asked for leave again?"

"Xiao Zhao quit." The man who looked at the pork stall said, "The director said that Xiao Zhao thinks the salary is too low." Song Zhaodi didn't let Song Zhaodi talk, he continued, "She's so delicious and lazy to cook. In the same way, giving her a hundred yuan a month is not enough for her to eat."

Song Zhaodi thought to herself that she could not spend so much money: "She doesn't marry an officer?"

"She's twenty-three, and she's not a young girl. She wants to marry her. Who can admire her." ugly.

Song Zhaodi naturally would not refute a man who treats her family well for the sake of a person who was instigated: "Listen to you, you don't like Xiao Zhao very much?"

"It's not that we don't like her. Everyone is a worker in a non-staple food factory, and everyone is equal, but when we go to buy something, she just ignores it. Head Zhong or Head Qian goes over, She laughed until her gums came out." The man selling the fishman continued, "I've never seen such a snob."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "When I went shopping, she also ignored me. I thought she didn't like me, but I didn't expect everyone to be the same."

"She ignores you?" The man who bought the pig's trotters widened his eyes.

The woman who sold the live chicken did not allow Song Zhaodi to open her mouth and said, "I know that last time when Teacher Xiao Song went to buy kelp and turned around to leave, Xiao Zhao rolled his eyes at Teacher Xiao Song. I I thought I had read it wrong, but when Teacher Xiao Song said this, I remembered it and saw it right."

The fate of a person like Xiao Zhao will have to shed a layer of skin even if he does not die. Liu Ling, who lived in a peaceful era, thought about such a person. Because she suffered a serious crime, she might lose her life. Even if she knew that Xiao Zhao was to blame, she felt a little uncomfortable.

The voice of the eldest sister who sold live chickens fell, Song Zhaodi was much more relaxed, and her eyes were full of smiles: "I guess she is jealous of my good work and high salary."

"Your high salary is also earned by your ability, what is there to envy? There is nothing to envy." An old man who picked fish said, "I heard my grandson say that Teacher Xiao Song teaches English in the first year of junior high school. Don't follow the class, is it true?"

Song Zhaodi nodded: "There is no English class in the primary schools here, I teach the first-year students in order to lay a solid foundation for them." After a while, "Master, are you ?"

"The younger brother of Deputy Commander Wu, come here to take care of his grandson." The old man said, "His grandson is also my grandson."

Song Zhaodi thought, what about your grandson? When the words reached his lips, he noticed that the old man was one-armed and had a straight waist, as if he had been a soldier for many years and couldn't help but suffocate his breath. He couldn't help licking his dry lips: "Is your grandson Wu Zhiyong?"

"Mr. Song knows?" The old man was surprised.

Song Zhaodi wanted to laugh: "Master, he is my student, I must know him."

"Can you follow me?"

Song Zhaodi: "It doesn't matter what I say, you have to listen to the principal."

"That's right." The old man was no longer staring at Song Zhaodi.

Song Zhaodi was afraid that she would encounter a relative of the commander or a relative of the political commissar later, so she would go to school after leaving the non-staple food factory for any reason.

In the afternoon, Song Zhaodi changed the clothes of Dawa and Erwa last year into shorts and vests. After the three sets of shorts and vest are changed, it is time to make dinner.

Boom!

Song Zhaodi came back to her senses, and saw Zhong Jianguo driving the car and knocking the door open. Suddenly nothing was good, and she wanted to curse: "Can't you come down and open the door?"

"I see that the door is not latched." Zhong Jianguo jumped out of the car and took out the big baby and the second baby.

Song Zhaodi took a deep breath: "Why did you drive back by yourself, Xiao Li?"

"Sick." Zhong Jianguo said, "A dignified soldier can actually get sick." It was incredible.

.

Song Zhaodi is incredible: "Xiao Li is a man, not an iron man."

"I have never been sick." Zhong Jianguo said smoothly.

Song Zhaodi snorted: "Because you are not human!"

"You are not human!" Zhong Jianguo stared, "Why are you still scolding people?"

"Dad, stepmother, you two will quarrel later." Zhong Dawa has a headache and frowns, "My brother is scared by you."

Song Zhaodi followed his line of sight, but saw Sanwa sitting in the crib with a confused expression: "He was scared by your dad hitting the door." After that, she didn't care. The man and the child, turned back to the kitchen to cook.

Zhong Jianguo pouted: "Son, remember, don't reason with women in the future, because you can't tell women clearly."

"Dad, why isn't the stepmother afraid of you?" Zhong Dawa didn't understand, "Mom is afraid of you, grandma is afraid of you, grandma seems to be afraid of you too, why is only the stepmother not afraid?" You seem to be afraid of your stepmother."

Zhong Jianguo's face flashed a trace of discomfort: "I'm not afraid of her, I'm letting her."

"Then why don't you let my mother?" Zhong Dawa asked.

Zhong Jianguo's eyes flashed: "Have I scolded your mother or beat her? Neither. Then how do you know that I never let your mother?"

"I feel it." Zhong Dawa blurted out.

Zhong Jianguo took a breath: "I still feel like I want to hit you, do you want to try?"

"It will bully me." Big baby ran behind Sanwa's cot in three or two steps, "If you have the ability to beat your stepmother."

Zhong Erwa said with a smile: "Dad dare not!"

Zhong Jianguo took a deep breath and pointed at his two sons: "You two are trying to irritate me. Be careful to make me mad. The stepmother will find you a stepfather and beat you three times a day."

"Zhong Jianguo, come over and set fire to me if you're okay." Song Zhaodi's voice came from the kitchen.

The eldest child and the second child said in unison, "Dad, daddy, let's go."

Zhong Jianguo is not going, nor is he going. After hesitating for a while, when he walked to Dawa's side, Zhong Jianguo raised his hand and said, "Go make a fire!"

The baby stomped on his feet before running to the kitchen.

Zhong Jianguo also participated in the training this afternoon. His clothes were covered in mud. He simply sat on the ground and faced Erwa: "You guys are getting more and more courageous."

"I'm timid." Erwa said and stepped back.

Zhong Jianguo stretched out his arms and encircled his son: "Erwa—"

"Headmaster Zhong, is Teacher Song at home?"

Zhong Jianguo looked back: "Mr. Yao, Xiao Song is cooking in the house."

"I'm going to call mother." Erwa broke his father's arm and ran into the house, "Mother, father is going to beat me."
