Two months ago, Sun Yuan, who succeeded Zhong Jianguo, arrived on the island. At that time, before Master Liu and Zhong Jianguo were handed over, Master Liu told Sun Yuan that he wronged his family to stay in the hostel for a few days.
Sun Yuan said, don't worry, his eldest son is taking the college entrance examination this year, but his lover and several children will not come for the time being. When his eldest son fills out his wishes, the family will move in again.
Don't look at Mrs. Duan's often saying that she is rude and disobedient to him. In fact, Mrs. Duan loves them very much. Half of the shoes that Dawa wears from childhood to adulthood are from Sister Duan.
Master Liu knew that Mrs. Duan really wanted to wait for the big baby and the others to finish the exam before leaving. After hearing what Sun Yuan said, when he got home, he told Mrs. Duan that they would stay on the island for another two months.
Liu Yang took Dali away, and Mrs. Duan began to pack up. Song Zhaodi went to the next door and saw a large wooden box in the living room. The box was still open.
Song Zhaodi frowned slightly: "Auntie, my brother-in-law can make furniture. When you get to Binhai, buy two pieces of wood and ask my brother-in-law to make you a new one. Don't move the old one. "
Song Zhaodi smiled: "Then when the big baby comes back, ask them to move. It's very hard for me to carry it by myself."
"I'll help you carry it." Sister Duan said.
Song Zhaodi: "It's not easy to lift, I'll do it later. By the way, how did you get it down?"
."
Song Zhaodi: "The child is old, it's time to learn to fly. Did Liu Wei call you?"
"I hit it. Liu Wei is registered." Sister Duan said, "Liu Wei also said that since he read Dawa's workbook, the questions that he didn't know before, now he understands it. , I will definitely pass the test this time. Xiao Song, if Liu Wei passes the test, I will thank you very much."
Song Zhaodi: "It should be. The soles of the shoes that Dawa is wearing today were made by you. Not to mention giving Liu Wei a set of workbooks, even giving Liu Wei ten sets is also what he should do. of."
"Have you thought about which school to go to?" Sister Duan said, "Liu Wei is going to that Army Engineering College. Old Liu said, if he can get into the school, he will take four years. Four years. Later, Liu Wei will be thirty, and I don't know if I will live to the day when he gets married and has children."
Song Zhaodi: "Auntie, your son is promising, even if he is forty years old, there are young girls crying and shouting to marry him. If your son is not promising, even if you give birth to a big fat grandson , so what? When you and Uncle Liu are old, maybe he can't even feed the children."
"It's still Xiao Song, you will persuade people." Sister Duan laughed, "I'll tell you, I didn't urge Liu Wei to get married."
Song Zhaodi: "Don't rush. In the future, their army leaders will urge you for you. When Liu Wei graduates from University, the army leaders will help him introduce people, at least the nurses of the military hospital."
"You are right." Sister Duan said, "When Bai Hua had just died, the army leader had to introduce a teacher to Xiao Zhong."
Song Zhaodi: "I know, Jianguo told me. Are your clothes packed?"
"The winter clothes have been sent." Sister Duan said, "This phone also has to be removed. Remember to tell Xiao Zhong's brother and your sister that you will not make this phone call again in the future. ."
Song Zhaodi: "I know. Did the troops send you back by car, or by car?"
"The army's car will take us." Sister Duan said, "The post office will not send these pots and pans, and Lao Liu and I are so old that we don't have the ability to take them away. But No one wants us if we don’t take it away. Just as the troops wanted to send us, Lao Liu agreed. Speaking of this, Lao Liu is quite embarrassed.”
Song Zhaodi smiled: "Don't be embarrassed, it should be. I wanted to help you clean up, but I didn't expect you to clean up."
"Liu Ping helped me clean up." Sister Duan said.
Song Zhaodi suddenly thought: "You are gone, where is Liu Ping?"
"She has been in Yongcheng Hospital before, and she knows that there is no military hospital there. She probably thinks that the treatment in Binhai is not good, and she is unwilling to go with us." Sister Duan said, "I guess she still wants to make trouble with Xiao Jin."
Song Zhaodi frowned slightly: "If you are not here, if Liu Ping makes trouble again, will the Jin family bully her?"
"She's only thirty years old, and she's only halfway through her life. If she feels that the Jin family is disturbed and she feels comfortable, then she can make trouble." Sister Duan said, "The Jin family dares to fight She, just go to the police station. Anyway, the riot broke out, let everyone know that the house where Xiao Jin lived was built at our expense, and it was the Jin family who was embarrassed. "
Song Zhaodi: "Liu Ping is also free."
"She's just idle." Sister Duan said, "I'm still a little unwilling. By the way, Xiao Song, please pay attention to me when you're okay, and tell me later if there is a fatality."
Song Zhaodi heard what she said, and knew that Mrs. Duan really thought about it: "Okay. Anyway, the school is close to the hospital, so I'll help you pay attention. Where are the dishes in the yard?"
Song Zhaodi "The weather has been good these two days. I have picked all the long beans for you, and dried them for you to take away."
"Also." Sister Duan and Song Zhaodi went to the yard to pick vegetables.
It was hot at noon, and when Dawa and the others left, Song Zhaodi gave Dawa fifty dollars and told him to go to the state-run restaurant for dinner at noon. If you are thirsty, go buy a cantaloupe.
The first course in the morning is Chinese. Before entering the examination room, Zhong Dawa discussed with his brothers and gathered under the tree next to the gate.
At ten past eleven, the four brothers are here. Dawa was about to say, go to dinner, and see Qu Zhuangzhuang also come out. Thinking about it, Dawa walked over and said, "Zhuangzhuang, how was the test?"
"My dad said that you don't need to take too many exams, all subjects are 80 points, and the national focus is casual." The big baby asked, "With us, or with your mother?"
Qu Zhuangzhuang: "My mother brought me here and left. It's only two and a half hours at noon. I won't go back at noon, so I'll eat here. Where are you going to eat?"
Dawa was about to say which restaurant is the best place to eat when she saw the people who went to his house to review with Qu Zhuangzhuang also came out. Simply call the other party, and bring two "little brothers" and three brothers to the best restaurant in Yongcheng for a meal.
After dinner, go to the supply and marketing agency to buy a few melons, smash them open with your fist, and eat them directly at the door of the supply and marketing agency.
I'm not full yet. The six young men walked slowly to the examination room. Not long after they entered the examination room and sat down, the invigilator came.
At five o'clock, Song Zhaodi estimated that her sons were coming back soon, so she asked Erwa and Zhengang to press a bucket of water and put the watermelon in the water. Around six o'clock, Dawa and the others came back. Erwa and Zhengang carried the table under the magnolia tree to cut watermelon.
When eating the watermelon, Song Zhaodi asked, "How was the test?"
"You can take the 178 test." The baby spat out two watermelon seeds.
Zhenxing choked: "One hundred seventy-eight?!"
"Yes." Dawa looked at him, "What's wrong? I said less."
Rebirth: "You talk too much. I estimate at most one hundred and five."
Dawa looked at Zili: "You too?"
"I feel between one hundred six and one hundred seven." Self-reliance glanced at him, "I can't compare with you."
Zhong Dawa frowned: "What do you mean? I think I'm bragging."
"Don't be arguing." Song Zhaodi asked, "Dad, I told you, copy down the answer when you're done, did you copy it?"
Zhong Dawa: "I just copied it, and I copied the big question roughly." She said and stood up, "Mother, it's in my trouser pocket."
"Sanwa, go upstairs to get some paper and pens. Reborn, you can evaluate the score according to the answer." Song Zhaodi took out the answer.
She was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Mother, when did you tell Dawa?"
Song Zhaodi: "I told Dawa, if you do it in advance, check it out, and copy the answer before the time comes. If you don't have time, don't copy it."
Sister-in-law Duan saw Dawa and the others coming back, so she came over with a basket of cantaloupe, came in and heard a few children saying the answer, she was stunned, walked over quickly, and asked in a low voice, "Where do you get it? Got an answer?"
Song Zhaodi looked back and saw her expression, and knew she had misunderstood: "Dawa's answer."
"What do you mean?" Sister Duan looked at Dawa. After Dawa explained it again, Sister Duan threw down the basket and said, "Hurry up and make a copy for me, and I'll send it to Liu Wei."
Song Zhaodi: "Don't worry, there are still two exams to be taken. When the exam is over tomorrow, you can send it to him."
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Duan said, "I'm too anxious. By the way, take these melons with you when you go to the exam tomorrow. I heard Xiao Song say that you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them. Melon. Don't buy other people's, and I don't know if it's clean. Eat what we grow, don't worry!"
Zhong Dawa wanted to roll her eyes: "Grandma, we have it in our yard too."
Down the hallway."
Song Zhaodi: "Just leave it here. Eat a piece of watermelon, it's good to eat it cold."
"I won't eat it. We still have one in our family." Sister Duan said, "I ate yours, and I will have the rest when I go back." She glanced at the answer on the table, "Dad, when you copy the answer tomorrow, write it neatly, I can't understand it."
Song Zhaodi was delighted: "Auntie, I don't have much time in the exam room. Tomorrow I'll ask Zili to make a copy. Zili's character is good."
"Then I can rest assured." Sister Duan stood up, "You mothers eat slowly, I'll go back."
Dawa looked at Sister Duan's back and pouted: "I want my answer, but I think I'm scribbling? Apart from her, I can't find another on the island."
Song Zhaodi: "I can't find a second person on the whole island who has nothing to do with you, and even makes shoes for you in dog days."
Dawa choked: "I said it wrong, okay? Mother."
"Don't talk like this in the future, you are all too young." Song Zhaodi glanced at him, "Rejuvenate, regenerate, don't eat too much. After the exam tomorrow, eat as much as you want. "
Dawa hurriedly swallowed the watermelon in her mouth: "Mother, let's try English the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Song Zhaodi said, "Speak to Qu Zhuangzhuang's father tomorrow and ask him to take you out." Suddenly, it occurred to me, "Erwa has to go to your uncle's grandfather's house to study this year. Painting. Big baby, send the second baby there and play around for a few days. Don’t live at your uncle’s and grandpa’s house, find a hostel to live in.”
The baby asked: "Really?"
"Mom, we still have to fill in the volunteers." Self-reliance reminded her.
Song Zhaodi: "Tell your dad to fill it for you. I'll give you one thousand yuan to bring all your summer clothes. If they get dirty, go back to your uncle's grandfather's house, or abduct to your grandfather's house in the imperial capital. , Wash your clothes before going out to play. You must be back on August 20th."
"Mother, I'll go too." Sanwa said quickly.
Zhen Gang weakly said: "Teacher, I want to go too."
Song Zhaodi: "Ask your brother, if he is willing to take you, you can go."
"Sanwazi, beg me, I'll take you there." Dawa said with a smile, "If you don't beg me, we'll take Zhengang and Erwa, and leave you alone at home with your mother."
Sanwa gave him a deep look: "Brother, if you encounter difficulties in the future, please beg me, and I will not help you."
"Dad, think about it and talk about it." Song Zhaodi said, "Life is not easy."
Big baby twisted Sanwa's face: "Little clever ghost."
"Mother, I want to go too." Erwa said, "I've never gone out to play."
Song Zhaodi said: "Then you will set off on the twenty-fifth. Big baby, go to your uncle's grandfather's house on August 10 to pick up the second baby, and come back after playing for a week."
"Follow your orders!" Dawa washed her hands with water, "I'll go upstairs to get a map and draw the lines first."
Song Zhaodi: "Let's cook first."
"Mother, I'm a candidate." Dawa said, "Can't you let me rest for a day?"
Song Zhaodi: "I'm still the candidate's mother. Can the candidate be filial and filial to his mother?"
"In terms of eloquence, we are not your opponent if you add a piece." Zhong Dawa eats fast melons again before going to pick vegetables and cook.
Song Zhaodi saw that she was picking up the watermelon rind independently, so she said, "Call your grandfather back, don't let your grandfather worry."
"I know." Zili said, "Mother, is a thousand dollars too much?"
Song Zhaodi: "When you go out, don't panic if you have money in your hands. When your dad went to a meeting, he brought two packs of cigarettes. Your dad doesn't smoke, so you bring your cigarettes with you. Ask someone for directions. When the time comes, give them a cigarette. Desserts, aunt and aunt, eldest brother and eldest sister shout, we will not lose a piece of meat, and people will be happy to hear it. "
"Well, I wrote it down." Zi Li smiled, "Mother, we are all gone, and Grandma Liu is gone, you are the only one at home."
Song Zhaodi: "I don't want to be idle this summer. The new book for the first year of high school has arrived, and I have to prepare lessons. Starting this year, I will teach English for the third year of junior high and English for the first year of high school, which I have never taught before. , the lesson plan has to be rewritten. Writing the lesson plan on such a hot day will kill me.”
"Who dares to kill you?" Zhong Jianguo asked as he pushed the door in.
Song Zhaodi glanced at him: "You!"
Zhong Jianguo couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Song, if you talk to me like this again, I'll be angry."
"Mother ignores you, you won't be angry." After Sanwa finished speaking, she hid behind herself.
Zhong Jianguo was delighted: "Sanwazi, there is a seed that has been hiding, and if there is no seed, come out and ask me to kick."
"Mom, Dad bullied me." Sanwa said.
Song Zhaodi waved her hand: "Go to the kitchen to help your brother make a fire, your dad won't beat you."
Sanwa was not at ease and pulled Zili to join him.
Several children came into the house, Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo went to Liu's house to move some old cabinets and boxes.
July 22nd, at noon, when the baby came back, he asked him to copy the answer independently.
Just after lunch, Mrs. Duan went to the post office with two answers. Everyone in the family area knew that Mrs. Duan was leaving. Seeing her taking the envelope to the post office, she was very curious and asked who she was going to send the letter to.
Sister-in-law Duan is very happy, and feels that she has not hurt the children of Zhong's family in vain. Tell others directly, Dawa came back and wrote the answer silently, and asked her to send it to Liu Wei. Send a copy to Dali by the way.
Nowadays, the college entrance examination is to fill in the volunteers first, and then get the scores. Last year, many people were dropped because of insufficient scores. As soon as Sister Duan said this, before she got to the post office, the living room of Zhong's house was crowded with people.
Song Zhaodi heard the hustle and bustle downstairs, rubbed her eyes and went downstairs, she saw Erwa pouring water, Zhengang was moving the bench, Sanwa greeted the guests to sit down, couldn't help asking: " What happened?"
"Mr. Song, you can come down." Commissar Zhang's lover hurriedly asked, "Where's your eldest child?"
Song Zhaodi: "A few children are tired and sleep upstairs after eating. Sister-in-law is looking for him?"
The other party told Song Zhaodi what he heard from Mrs. Duan: "My nephew from her parents' family is also taking the college entrance examination this year, please see if you can ask Dawa to help me write an answer."
"That's it." Song Zhaodi laughed, "It's not impossible. Dawa's answer is not a standard answer, if it's wrong—"
"It's not your fault. Nurse Liang can testify."
Song Zhaodi had long seen Commander Zhao's lover: "Do you want too?"
"To be honest, my niece didn't pass the test last year, and she will take the test again this year." Nurse Liang said, "Last year, because she thought she did well in the test, she applied to the University of the Imperial Capital, but she failed. pass."
Song Zhaodi deliberately thought for a while: "Then, Sanwa, go and call your brother down."
"Which brother?" Sanwa asked.
Song Zhaodi: "Go into the house and shout, and whoever wakes up will call down."
Sanwa went upstairs and shouted loudly.
The people downstairs were startled.
Head Nurse Liang couldn't help laughing: "Your third child is real."
"Zhong Sanwa! Do you want to be beaten again?!"
"Mother, big brother is going to hit me."
Song Zhaodi sighed: "It's not a loss to hit you." Then she rushed upstairs and shouted, "Dad, come down when you wake up."
The four brothers pulled their shoes down, and one person copied three sets of answers before sending them away. When the people left, Da Wa urged Zi Li to pack up his clothes and leave early in the morning, so he couldn't stay on the island.
In the evening of the next day, because of work, only today did I learn that the Zhong family had the answers to the college entrance examination, and only Song Zhaodi was left in the Zhong family.
College Entrance Exam Answers? It was taken by someone who came yesterday. Someone who knows the answer? At this time in Shencheng.
Song Zhaodi didn't want to give the answer to everyone, she was afraid that someone copied it wrong, and which candidate did not pass the exam because of the difference? She also blamed herself. Just let them go to the person who got the answer yesterday. Anyway, several of them asked for the answers for their children and did not send them out.
The next day, Mrs. Duan also left.
The Zhong family was quiet, and the east side was quiet, Song Zhaodi was really not used to it for a while. Noticing that Mother Shen was leading her two granddaughters to enjoy the shade under the tree, Song Zhaodi moved a small ponytail and took a big fan to find Mother Shen to talk about the house.
Mother Shen was the most familiar with Song Zhaodi, and when she saw her, she asked, "I saw a few of your children carrying bags to the pier yesterday. Where are they going?"
"Go to my relative's house to play for a few days." Song Zhaodi said, "During this period of time, reading books every day, a few children are almost stupid."
Mother Shen: "Your third child has gone too? Aren't you worried?"
"Our family is 18 years old, and he takes care of the three children, so don't worry." Song Zhaodi said, "The children have to learn to grow up sooner or later. Now Jianguo and I are still young, and the children meet What setbacks, we can still help. In the future, when we are old, if we let go, it will be too late. "
Mother Shen didn't quite understand, but she knew the general meaning: "You really know how to educate children. Shen Ying, do you hear? You have to learn from Teacher Song, but not from your mother."
"Her mother can also take the college entrance examination this year, right?" Song Zhaodi said, "There are no restrictions this year, how is the test?"
