September 1st, school starts, Song Zhaodi usually doesn't have time to go next door, so she will visit Xiao Xiurong on weekends. It wasn't until New Year's Day in 1980 that Xiao Xiurong's belly got bigger and the morning sickness stopped.
The morning sickness was over, Xiao Xiurong ate something delicious, but whenever Song Zhaodi made something delicious, she smelled the fragrance and asked Song Zhaodi how she did it. As a result, she gained a little weight, and Shen Ying and Shen Ting, who were growing up, gained a lot of weight.
Shen Ying found that she was a lot fatter, on the afternoon of the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, while Xiao Xiurong fell asleep, she went to the next door to find Song Zhaodi, and when she saw her, she said, "Mr. Song, you will cook delicious food in the future. , do it secretly."
"How to do it secretly?" Song Zhaodi asked her, "In the middle of the night?"
Shen Ying nodded subconsciously.
"Aren't we going to sleep?" Song Zhaodi asked rhetorically.
Shen Ying choked and pointed to her face: "If you eat it again, it will become a big cake face."
"When your mother is cooking, don't help her. She is tired and sweaty from cooking a meal, so she will not do it." Song Zhaodi said, "The doctor said that she has to control her appetite now and give birth to a baby. It's time to live well."
Shen Ying: "Isn't there a month left?"
"It is because there is still a month before she can control her appetite." Song Zhaodi said, "Have you bought anything for the New Year?"
Shen Ying: "My grandma and I went to buy some, and my mother sent us a lot of food. She said that she would come over after the new year."
"It's better for her to come here, you can relax." Song Zhaodi said, "Go back and tell your father that the doctor told your mother to control her appetite, and he will stop your mother. Your mother is also blaming him for being angry. "
Shen Ying thought about it carefully: "Mr. Song is right, why should I be this bad person. She is pregnant with my father's child, and she has to call my father to come forward. Thank you, Teacher Song." When you're done, go outside.
There are still three days before the Chinese New Year. Dawa has already had a holiday. Seeing Shen Ying go out, she can't help but say, "Headmaster Shen's hard days are here."
"Don't talk nonsense. Shen Ying usually has enough peace of mind." Song Zhaodi said, "I heard from Gengsheng that your grandfather got the cousin of Gengsheng's mother in again, this time because of what? ?"
Dawa: "Dig the corner of socialism."
"Does that woman still go every week?" Song Zhaodi asked.
Dawa: "I won't go now. Although the relative of Shi's family was brought out by Mr. Shi, his reputation is bad. I heard that the Shi family wanted to find him a daughter-in-law of the right family, but no one wanted to. Marry him. It seems that after being rejected by three or four families, her biological mother will not go.
"Last month, her cousin went in again. The evidence is solid. I don't know how many years she will be sentenced. If she goes again, her mother's family will stop her." After a pause, " The people in that circle are all good people, you don't need to say it from Grandpa Qi himself, everyone knows that Grandpa Qi cleans up the Shi family because the reborn mother is too disgusting."
"Then don't be careless." Song Zhaodi said, "Don't you know—Wait, Dawa, Zhenxing, seeing self-reliance and rehabilitation after the year, told them not to get along with girls alone, also Don't go out with the opposite sex."
The baby can't help sitting up straight: "Mother is afraid that she will slander us and mess around?"
"Just in case." Song Zhaodi said, "The rabbit even bites people in a hurry, not to mention that woman with a vicious heart."
Dawa: "What that woman did is simply unworthy of a human being, and she can indeed do that kind of thing."
"Mother, introduce another partner to Liu Ping." Sanwa peeled a roasted peanut and stuffed it in her mouth, "When you called Grandma Liu, Grandma Liu asked you if Liu Ping had a partner. When you look back, tell Liu Ping that her mother was too anxious to help her introduce her."
Song Zhaodi glanced at him: "Erwa, Zhengang, do the people on the island know that Xiao Xiurong is Lao Xiao's niece?"
"I see." Zhen Gang said, "It seems that on the afternoon of the 23rd, I went out to take out the trash and saw Auntie Li carrying a plate of candied melons to the Shen's house. Tian said it herself, her daughter wore clothes made by Erwa to report, and everyone envied her daughter, and she didn't say to send some to our family."
Erwa: "I definitely know. Li Lanying quarreled with Head Shen, if she didn't know, Head Shen gave her candied melons and she wouldn't eat them, let alone send them to Shen's house. ."
"Sanwa, rush to the hospital tomorrow and ask Liu Ping to buy a pack of Banlangen for you." Song Zhaodi said, "When chatting with others, remind others that I am the matchmaker for Head Shen and Xiao Xiurong."
Sanwa is very skeptical: "Can you talk to a doctor with this?"
"You don't know how to talk, if you know how to talk, don't talk about it. Seven aunts, eight aunts, and relatives who haven't seen them for many years can also talk." Da Wa pointed to herself, "Shout out brother, Big brother will teach you."
Sanwa glanced at him, "Second brother, do you know?"
"I can't talk." Erwa said.
Sanwa looked at Zhenxing and Zhengang: "How about you two?"
"I will teach you to do your homework." Zhenxing said.
Zhengang continued: "I will supervise your homework."
Sanwa suddenly wanted to hit someone.
The big baby asked with a smile: "Have you considered it?"
"Humph!" Sanwa threw down the peanuts and picked up the phone, "I'm looking for a reborn brother."
Erwa was happy: "The number you memorized finally came in handy."
"Sanwa, call your uncle later to remind their family to guard against people who suddenly become enthusiastic." Song Zhaodi suddenly thought, "Dawa, write a letter to your aunt. Letter, remind vigorously."
The baby nodded: "I'll write now."
The letter was sent, and when the baby came home, it was almost dark.
Song Zhaodi, Erwa, and Zhengang were cooking in the kitchen. The eldest child didn't see Sanwa and Zhenxing, and asked curiously, "Have they gone to the hospital?"
"They went right after you left." Song Zhaodi said, "I don't know how Gengsheng told him. I asked him, but he didn't tell me."
Dawa: "Wait, mother, I suddenly thought of a question. Liu Ping agreed. The man does not want to see her. Liu Ping will think you are playing with her."
Song Zhaodi: "I called Mr. Qi just now, and Mr. Qi said that he would ask Gengsheng to ask when it got dark. If the other party doesn't want to, I will tell Liu Ping that they think she has given birth. child."
"Tsk, Liu Ping probably regrets marrying Xiao Jin after hearing you say that." Dawa said.
Song Zhaodi poured the shredded potatoes into the pot, "She doesn't know what to do, so I can only say this. Hey, I heard the sound of a car, maybe your dad is back."
"I'll take a look." The big baby came out and saw that Zhong Jianguo had arrived in the courtyard, still wearing a cotton coat, he looked at it carefully and it was new, "Dad, you guys have issued new military uniforms. ?"
Zhong Jianguo: "I didn't take it out to wear it before. I feel cold today, so your mother asked me to take it with me when I left." After a while, "In this weather, I I don't even feel cold. I don't wear a cotton coat this year, I'm shivering from the cold, and it looks like I'm old."
"You will be forty-three after the new year, and you are still seven years away from fifty. You are indeed not young." The big baby said, "Dad, take good care of it, my mother is still very young."
Zhong Jianguo raised his leg with one kick.
.You don't act out of nowhere, or—"
"Want to beat your father?" Zhong Jianguo asked.
Dawa: "Don't dare, don't dare, but conditioning is not something I can control."
Zhong Jianguo looked at him: "I'm not a soldier yet, I'll give you the ability."
"Master Zhong, I am now a soldier of the people's children." Dawa reminded him, "From the moment I entered the military school, I am."
Song Zhaodi came out of the kitchen and said, "Don't talk about it. Dad, pull the table, Zhong Jianguo, wash your hands and face and prepare to eat."
The two looked at each other, snorted, turned around, one went out and the other went in.
Zhen Gang heard the voice and couldn't help but say, "Da Wa and Uncle Zhong make me feel a little weird."
"Not like father and son?" Song Zhaodi asked, "More like friends? Or the kind that hurts friends, isn't it?"
Zhen Gang thought: "Almost."
"Because when my brother was young, they were like friends, not like father and son." Erwa said, "It's what my father is used to."
The big baby came in and said, "It's like Dad doesn't like you. Erwa, since the cloth ticket was abolished here, you made us four sets of clothes, and Dad didn't even have one. If I had left the head of the regiment, I would have beaten you, an unfilial son."
"Dad can't wear it." Erwa said, "However, I made a suit for my father."
Dawa hurriedly asked: "suits? Do we have suit fabrics at home?"
"Brother Gengsheng sent it." Erwa said, "When you came back from summer vacation, I told Brother Gengsheng, and Brother Gengsheng told him to look for it. It was sent on the eleventh day, I have already made it. I plan to give it to my father on the first day of the new year."
Dawa heard footsteps: "Dad is in, stop talking."
In the morning of New Year's Eve, the whole family put on new clothes. At noon, Zhong Jianguo came back and saw a new look inside and out. He took off his coat and found a stain, and he felt very uncomfortable. When I walked outside, I said, "Second baby, come here, let's chat with my grandfather."
"I'm cleaning up the ducks, we'll talk later." Erwa squatted by the water well, "Dad come over to help me pressurize the water if you're okay."
Zhong Jianguo couldn't believe his ears: "Can I press the water for you?"
"Mother and eldest brother are making dumplings, and Zhen Gang is washing chickens, I can only call you." Erwa looked up at him and saw that his face was wrong, "Are you sick? Sanwa The Banlangen you bought is on the table upstairs, go and unpack a pack and have a drink."
Zhong Jianguo was speechless and wanted to laugh: "You really love your father."
"Of course." Erwa carried the duck in one hand and lifted the pot in the other.
Zhen Gang said quickly, "Wait! Erwa, there are a lot of duck feathers in the basin."
"I know, so I have to change another basin of water." Erwa said.
Zhen Gang: "First fish out the hair."
"Why are you so troublesome?" Erwa was speechless and shouted into the room, "Mother, is Zhengang ill?"
Song Zhaodi: "Zhengang is not sick, just loves to be clean."
"I have a disease of love for cleanliness." Erwa glanced at him, "Zhengang, I think you are suitable to be a doctor in the future. The hospital is the cleanest, and disinfectant water is used every day."
Zhen Gang thought about it for a while: "It seems pretty good to be a doctor. Teacher, I don't want to take the normal exam, I want to go to the health school."
"Stupid!" Dawa came out, "To be a doctor, you have to go to a medical university, not a medical school." And physicians. A good doctor can open a craniotomy and a belly, and deliver a baby. No matter what kind—”
Erwa hurriedly interrupted him: "Don't say it, big brother. If you talk about the duck in my hand, it will become a human."
