Chapter 57： The horse doesn't know the length of the face

Self-reliance quickly wiped away tears: "No, no."

"Really?" Song Zhaodi said, "Tell me the truth, self-reliance, I have long wanted to beat Zhong Dawa as a child."

Zhong Dawa put down the basket of buns and ran out: "Mother, I'm not naughty today, I'm not mischievous." Take a closer look, "Hey, self-reliance, rebirth, why are you two crying? Is it someone to blame? You guys? Tell me, I'll beat him!"

Song Zhaodi raised her hand and slapped him on the back of the head: "Look at your ability. Are there any older children on the island that you haven't beaten?"

Song Zhaodi bent down: "Are you homesick?"

He nodded independently. Renewal sniffed and wiped away tears.

Song Zhaodi: "I guess I miss Grandpa."

Self-reliance raised her head: "Auntie—"

"No way!" Song Zhaodi interrupted him, afraid that the eldest child would hear him, she turned around and said with a bald mouth, and whispered, "Auntie knows what you want to ask, how is grandpa now, right? I can't inquire with your Uncle Zhong, but your uncle Zhao can. But he can't be too curious about your grandfather, or others will find out that he knew your grandfather before.

"Self-reliance, don't believe it, and don't feel that your aunt is intimidating you. Your uncle Zhao is the commander, and no one in the East China Sea Fleet dares to do anything to him, but there is no shortage of hope that your uncle will be locked up and put on your own. people."

Self-reliance is full of shame: "Auntie, I didn't expect it, sorry."

"You're still young, it's normal that you don't think of this." Song Zhaodi patted his head, and put the other hand around Reborn, "You two know everything, but I feel abnormal. Wash your face, let's eat." After a while, "You two are healthy and will see Grandpa one day."

The brothers nodded vigorously.

Zhong Dawa put down her chopsticks, looked up and saw Zi Li and Reborn came in, and asked, "Mother, why are they crying?"

"I miss my father." Song Zhaodi said.

Zhong Dawa blurted out: "Dad only left yesterday." When she said it, she realized that it was wrong, and smiled awkwardly, "He's his father." After a pause, "I don't want to."

"His father is not your father, of course you don't want to." Song Zhaodi picked up the spoon to serve the porridge, "Self-reliance, can you drink a bowl?"

Self-reliance: "Half a bowl. Thank you Auntie."

"You're so kind." The baby snorted.

He turned to him independently, opened his mouth to explain, but saw Zhong Dawa busy eating buns, as if he didn't realize what he just said.

Song Zhaodi sighed and said with a smile, "Self-reliance, big baby's mouth is broken, don't know him in general."

"Tell me again." Zhong Dawa snorted and walked outside with the buns.

Song Zhaodi said slowly: "Do you eat the salted duck eggs I boiled?

"It's really cold outside." The baby turned around and sat down, "Where's the salted duck eggs? I didn't even see it."

"And Laba garlic and my pickled shredded carrots." Song Zhaodi said, "In the cabinet."

The baby got up and ran to the kitchen: "I'll take it."

Self-reliance and regeneration have long been discovered. Originally I thought Erwa was lazy, but it took a few days to find out that it was the eldest who was extraordinarily diligent. It's only about what you eat. For example, when Zhong Jianguo wanted to wash his clothes, he told him to go upstairs to take down the dirty clothes.

Be mentally prepared, the two brothers, self-reliance and rebirth, were still startled by the speed of the big baby. Song Zhaodi's voice fell, and the big baby ran back with two basins.

"Mother, duck eggs are a little cold." Zhong Dawa reminded.

Song Zhaodi: "After the porridge was cooked, when I put the steamed buns on the drawer again, I forgot to put the duck eggs in." After a while, "If you don't want to eat it, put it back and cook at noon. It's time to reheat."

Zhong Dawa: "How troublesome that is. Forget it, just eat like this."

"Don't force it." Song Zhaodi said deliberately.

The big baby who was thinking about duck egg yolk didn't hear it: "Don't force it." He peeled off the shell three or two times, and said to Zi Li, "I'll tell you, eat the egg yolk first, the egg yolk is not salty, There is still a lot of oil. Then finish the stuffing of the buns, and use the bun skin to sandwich the egg whites, so that it tastes good.”

"You are very good at eating." Self-reliance admired.

Zhong Dawa is very proud: "Our family is ranked first in terms of food, and my mother ranks first, and I ranks second."

"I see." Zi Li really doesn't want to complain, but Zhong Dawa owes so much.

Zhong Dawa nodded: "Good eyesight."

Zi Li didn't want to talk to him for a while, and turned to ask Song Zhaodi, "Auntie, do you kill the ducks after you eat?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "The weather is cold, so after killing it, you can put it outside and do it again in the 30th year."

Self-reliance: "I'll help you."

"So good!" Song Zhaodi praised.

After the meal, the baby boiled water, Song Zhaodi killed two ducks and let five children dehair the ducks. Song Zhaodi took over after the five children had pulled the duck bare.

Song Zhaodi was afraid that when the officers on the island went to the imperial capital for a meeting, they had seen Zili and Rehabilitation, and when they looked back, they recognized Zireli and Rehabilitation, and worried that the child would be bored in the room, so she called the big baby to him: " There is hemp rope in the utility room upstairs, you go to find it, you guys are jumping rope in the yard."

"Skipping rope is for girls." Zhong Dawa said.

Song Zhaodi glanced at him: "Flipping the flower rope is also played by girls, and you don't play less."

"Flipping the flower rope is a brain game." Dawa said, "You said it yourself, mother."

Song Zhaodi: "I also said that skipping rope is a physical activity, it can strengthen the body. Are you going?"

"Go." Zhong Dawa found that Song Zhaodi's face was not right, and immediately admitted, "I will go now." However, before Zhong Dawa came downstairs, Ma Zhenxing was there call him outside.

Song Zhaodi walked to the door and said nonsense: "Zhenxing, the third baby and the second baby have a cold, the older baby has to help me take care of my brother at home, and come back to play with him in a few days."

"Have a cold?" Ma Zhenxing was disappointed, "Then I'll come back to Dawa in a few days. Teacher Song, goodbye."

Song Zhaodi waved: "Goodbye."

The door was bolted from the inside, Song Zhaodi returned to the water well, and heard someone knocking on the door again.

"You guys go back to the house." Through the bamboo raft door, Song Zhaodi saw half of her head, realized she was an adult, and thought, "Go upstairs and come down later."

Self-reliance and rehabilitation suddenly changed, pulling Erwa and Sanwa to hide upstairs.

Song Zhaodi took a deep breath and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Song, a letter from your family."

Song Zhaodi frowned and cursed: "Did it come from Binhai?"

"No, it's Shencheng." The postman handed the letter to Song Zhaodi.

Song Zhaodi frowned and tore it open: "Hey, the stamp on this is, are they two soldiers?"

Repel it, and issue a set of stamps to commemorate that victory."

"Then buy me a set." Song Zhaodi thought about it, "Buy me a set of stamps issued this year, and I'll get you money."

The postman hurriedly said, "Don't be in such a hurry, Mr. Song, just give it to me next time."

"Then when you come to deliver the letter tomorrow, pass by our door and call me." Song Zhaodi said.

Postman: "Understood. But, Mr. Song, what are you buying so many stamps for? How many sets will be issued this year?"

"Leave a memory." Song Zhaodi told the truth, "When I get old, I open these stamps and I can remember what happened in the past few years."

The postman nodded: "That's true. However, as your family is in such a good condition, let's take a family photo."

"Captain Zhong is not at home." Song Zhaodi said.

The postman took a breath and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, I forgot that your lover is busy."

"It's alright, it's alright." Song Zhaodi said, "I won't delay you, let's go deliver the letter."

Zhong Dawa was lying on her parents' bed, looking at the door with her head hooked. Seeing the postman walking away, she jumped out of bed: "The alarm is off, let's go down."

"Auntie didn't tell us to go down." Zili reminded.

Zhong Dawa: "It's alright. Don't talk nonsense when you go down. My mother received a letter, and it must not have been written by the grandfather of Xiaosong Village. We just came back not long ago. I guess it was not Shen Cheng's grandma is Binhai's grandma. My mother will be very angry when she sees their letter, and she will beat up when she gets angry."

"Why?"

Erwa said: "Shencheng's grandmother and Binhai's grandma are the worst people in the world. Brother, let's go down and see if they are coming to our house."

"Yes, yes." Zhong Dawa put on his cotton shoes and ran down.

After Song Zhaodi read the letter, she opened her mouth to scold. She heard the sound of footsteps, followed the sound, and the big baby ran at the front.

"Mother, grandma's letter or grandma's letter?" Before reaching Song Zhaodi, the eldest child hurriedly asked.

Song Zhaodi gave him the letter: "You can read it yourself." Hand it to Zhong Dawa, but still couldn't hold back, "Damn, you can't stop for a year!"

"Mother, it's been more than a year." Zhong Dawa knows a lot of words, and occasionally encounters a few words that he doesn't know, but it doesn't prevent him from reading the letter, "Grandma said you have a black heart and put us The three coaxed not to recognize my grandmother?

"Wait, you said that you are stingy, and you are not willing to even give up a bag of fruit and candy during the festival?" He said, looking at Song Zhaodi, "It's obviously that I don't allow you to buy it, why is my grandmother? Blame you?"

Song Zhaodi: "She thought it was me who was not allowed, that you all had to listen to me, but I didn't expect your dad and I to listen to you."

It's weird to be self-reliant, isn't it? elder brother.

Very weird. Zi Li nodded slightly, it was the first time I heard about such a big thing about visiting relatives and listened to the child's opinion.

"Grandma, my own grandma." Zhong Dawa shook her head and sighed, "Erwa, go get the match."

Erwa ran to the kitchen immediately and said, "Brother, write to me."

"You—" said two words independently, and when she saw Dawa light the letter, she was stunned.

The letter ignited, and when it was about to burn to Erwa's hand, Erwa threw the letter into the air and blew it twice, causing the letter to burn out quickly. Erwa was satisfied: "Okay, no more, you're done."

Subconsciously, she looked towards Song Zhaodi, who walked to the water pressure well and continued to clean up the ducks. She looked at the eldest baby and the second baby, and then turned to rebirth.

Brother, you ask. Gengsheng pouted in Song Zhaodi's direction.

He walked over on his own and whispered, "Auntie, the letter is burnt."

"I saw it." Song Zhaodi turned her head to look at him, saw Zi Li's worried face, and smiled, "His grandma treats them badly, and the eldest child doesn't like his grandma's family. I wonder why not Alright, tell Dawa to tell you."

Reborn looked at Dawa and waited for Dawa to say.

"Steal things from our house and send them back to her own house." Dawa said, "And she told me that it is not good for children to drink milk powder. My mother's salary was all taken by my grandma. Anyway, there are a lot of them, and I can't wait to move all our things to theirs."

I asked Song Zhaodi, "Is that all?"

"Because of these things, Dawa scolded his grandma, and your Uncle Zhong said that Dawa's mother slapped Dawa." Song Zhaodi said.

Nodding on her own: "No matter how bad the grandma is, she is still an elder, and the eldest should not scold others."

"Zhong Zili, who do you belong to?" Seeing Zili nodded, Dawa thought Zili also felt that his own mother shouldn't beat him, never thought Zili agreed with his mother's actions and was angry Disappointed again, "You are not allowed to sleep with me tonight."

Self-reliance's face changed suddenly, and quickly explained: "I-"

"I don't want to listen to you." Dawa was very angry.

Self-reliance hurriedly asked Song Zhaodi for help: "Auntie..."

"The baby is disrespectful to the elders, but there is a reason for this." Song Zhaodi said, "The mother of the baby should not beat the baby, and should explain it to the baby. If you are poor, don't bother with your grandma, if she scolds grandma later, you are not allowed to scold grandma again. The big baby won't be angry. "

Zhong Dawa nodded: "Yes."

"Don't talk, just listen to me and finish." Song Zhaodi decided to tell Zili the cause of Baihua's death, and also told the three children by the way, so that when the big baby grew up, recalling his own mother, only A good picture of his mother.

After Song Zhaodi finished speaking, seeing Dawa's shocked and sad face, she couldn't bear it in her heart: "On the day Dawa's mother was buried, the Bai family felt guilty and did not dare to come over to send Dawa away. mother's last ride.

I don't know who I heard from later, I married Dawa's father, and Dawa's grandmother might be afraid that I would move Zhong's things to my mother's house, so she came over, and it was called visiting Dawa. "

"Dawa's grandmother is too much." Zili didn't expect such an appearance, noticed Dawa's expression, and sighed in his heart, "Dawa doesn't know?"

Song Zhaodi: "At that time, the baby was still young, and your Uncle Zhong couldn't explain it to them. However, the officers on the island knew about this, and your Uncle Zhong also knew that the baby would know about it in the future. I decided to tell him in person in two years. I saw that you think Dawa's grandma is not too much, so I decided to tell you. "

Zhong Dawa used to think that his mother's death was not easy, but he couldn't think of anything that was not easy, so he believed his father's words.

Now listening to Song Zhaodi say this, Zhong Dawa has mixed feelings in her heart: "Mother, I don't want to skip rope."

"In fact, your mother didn't expect to catch up with the wind." Song Zhaodi sighed, "If she knew that she would lose her life, she would not go."

Zhong Dawa pointed to the paper dust not far away: "Grandma used to write letters to my mother. If she didn't go that time, she will go in the future. I know, don't explain it."

"Okay, I won't say it." Song Zhaodi said, "It's cold outside, you go upstairs to play." Chong Zili winked and persuaded Dawa.

Self-reliance, hesitant to talk, wink at rebirth, you go upstairs first.

Seeing this, Song Zhaodi asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Auntie knows about our family?" Zili asked in a very low voice, fearing that the partition would have ears.

Song Zhaodi: "Your Uncle Zhong told me that your mother separated from your father, and your father committed suicide."

"Auntie knows why my father committed suicide?" Self-reliance asked.

Song Zhaodi shook her head: "Your Uncle Zhong doesn't know much. Is it possible that you know?"

"One of my grandfather's subordinates told me secretly." Zili felt sad when he remembered what he said before, but when he saw Song Zhaodi cut the duck gizzard with a knife, the smell of duck feces quickly entered his nose, Self-reliance just wanted to finish talking quickly, and hurried upstairs, "When my father was young, my grandfather's comrades-in-arms and colleagues all sent their children to the Soviet Union.

"My dad was also sent to the Soviet Union at the time, and he met my mother in the Soviet Union. Last year we fought with the Soviet Union, and some people said that he was collaborating with the enemy and locked my dad up.

"I heard from my grandfather's subordinates that my father was mentally prepared and did not resist when he was arrested. It's just that when my father was still detained, my mother wanted to divorce my father, and then my father After being tortured again, I was confused for a while, and felt that life was boring, so I committed suicide."

Song Zhaodi: "I guessed it. But I don't understand, why did you tell me suddenly?"

"I am Zhong Zili now." Zili said, "You told Uncle Zhong that when we grow up, the country will resume the college entrance examination. I think God is a university."

Song Zhaodi nodded: "Yes, Imperial City University, my favorite university. It's not over yet. And then?"

"What should I do when I meet my grandma's family?"

Song Zhaodi raised her eyebrows: "Son, I don't want to say it, but I can't help but say that you are thinking too far. If you say something bad, when you grow up, your grandmother and grandfather, And your uncle and your mother might be dead."

"Dead, dead?" Self-reliance exclaimed.

Song Zhaodi: "Natural and man-made disasters are possible, or they may die from illness." After a pause, "If people are unlucky, they can choke to death when they drink cold water and wash their faces. So, there is no such thing as you think. any meaning.

"Speaking of which, you can't take the initiative to find them? Are you afraid that they will recognize you? 's ability, may not be able to find out.

"What's more, ten years later, your Uncle Zhong is not necessarily a junior team leader, and your Grandpa Liu is not necessarily a teacher. And your Uncle Zhao. Even if your uncle finds out you It's his nephew, there are several elders, what are you afraid of? What's so scary?"

"Auntie, what you said is so simple." Self-reliance.

Song Zhaodi thought, ten years later it will be a different world, "Because some things are so simple, there is no need to make them so complicated. You are worried that you will not know what to do when you meet your grandma's family in the future. , it's better to curse them to return to the sky early."

Self-reliance opened her eyes wide, and subconsciously asked: "What did you say? Auntie."

"That's right, curse them to return to the sky sooner." Song Zhaodi said, "To tell you the truth, I will curse the grandmother and my grandmother to see the King of Hell earlier when I have nothing to do."

Self-reliant saliva, really cruel. However, what's the matter with being so comfortable in my heart? Don't care, "Auntie, what else did Dawa's grandma write besides scolding you?"

"And asked us to send them New Year's gifts." Song Zhaodi sneered, "It's really a horse who doesn't know how long his face is."

Self-reliance: "You don't plan to send?"

"If you have that kind of money, you might as well buy a few more perch and stew them for you." Song Zhaodi said, "Don't worry about this, just pretend it never happened."

Self-reliance worried: "You said that Dawa's grandmother came here."

"She can't come now." Song Zhaodi said, suddenly thinking, "That dead old woman won't ask her son to come?! Go upstairs and call the big baby down."
