Chapter 253： death of a loved one

Zhong Jianguo said calmly, "Not as old as me."

Song Zhaodi: "I'm not as old as you. Wait a minute, what do you mean—"

"It's nothing else, don't fight me." Zhong Jianguo knew what she was going to say, "What about Sanwa and the others? Why are you alone at home."

Song Zhaodi glared at him before saying: "Second baby and Zhengang are in his factory, Zhenxing and Jingjing went home to take a bath, and the third baby is taking a bath. Today is Monday, and more students have to go to work, When we came back, we passed by the county government, and Sanwa ran in and asked him, and he said that he would be back on Saturday afternoon."

"He is honestly going to work." Zhong Jianguo said, "I thought he ran back with you again."

Song Zhaodi: "I have to thank Shi Ailian, knowing that she is not giving up, and even more afraid of being caught by her pigtail, so she honestly went to work."

"I'm sorry!" Zhong Jianguo opened the refrigerator, took out a bunch of grapes, and handed it to Song Zhaodi, "On the way back from a meeting, I met a fruit farmer who was carrying a burden and sold grapes on the roadside, and bought a bunch of grapes. A little, you try it, it's very sweet."

Song Zhaodi took it over: "Have you washed it yet?"

"No." Zhong Jianguo Road.

Song Zhaodi gave him a white look: "Your fault, it's really like a day for ten years." After speaking, he took it to the room to wash.

"You have been nagging for ten years." Zhong Jianguo took out a piece of watermelon from the refrigerator as he spoke.

Song Zhaodi turned around and kicked him in the leg.

Sanwa looked straight: "Mother, I'll help you."

"Get out!" Zhong Jianguo scolded, "If you don't want to be beaten, just pretend you didn't see it."

Sanwa stopped: "I'm going to do the laundry." Go outside to soak the clothes, and then ran in.

Zhong Jianguo wanted to laugh: "Wash it so soon?"

"Wash it later." Sanwa sat opposite him, "Are you making my mother angry again?"

Zhong Jianguo raised his eyelids, looked at him, lowered his head and cut the melon, and said slowly: "Do you think your mother is angry?"

Sanwa thought, it's not like that. It came out: "Very angry."

Zhong Jianguo snorted: "I am indeed your stepfather."

Sanwa choked instead. She didn't know what to say for a while. After thinking for a while, she called to the kitchen: "Mother, wash more grapes, I want to eat them too."

Song Zhaodi came out with a large bowl of grapes and placed it directly in front of Sanwa. She sat next to Zhong Jianguo and reminded him, "Eat less, I'll cook later."

"You don't eat?" Zhong Jianguo asked.

Song Zhaodi: "I ate at the Erwa factory. Sanwa, how many days can I stay at home?"

"The second brother said he bought me a plane ticket and I can stay at home until the 20th." Sanwa said, "Mother, my classmates especially like the delicious food you made for me. Second brother Say, he will come to see me on the eleventh, and you should ask the second brother to bring me something delicious."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "What do you want to eat, write to me in advance."

Sanwa nodded vigorously. Zhong Jianguo couldn't help frowning: "Sanwazi, you are twenty."

"No." Sanwa is very serious, "I'm not yet nineteen."

Zhong Jianguo: "Then you are an adult."

"Adult means you can get married." Sanwa said, "According to the marriage law, I'm still early."

Song Zhaodi raised her head: "Marriage Law? Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No." Sanwa said, "I heard what Zhengang said."

Song Zhaodi: "That means he has a girlfriend. I have to ask him later."

"You think too much." Zhong Jianguo said, "If he has a partner, he won't stay with Erwa all day. He has to squat at home, waiting for the phone and waiting for a letter."

Song Zhaodi thought about it carefully: "This is also true. No, how can you be so clear?"

"Because Dad has experienced it." Sanwa answered quickly.

Zhong Jianguo picked up the watermelon rind and smashed it.

Sanwa jumped up in fright, with a bang, her legs hit the small square table, and tears came out all at once.

Song Zhaodi was startled and hurried over: "Where did you hit?"

"Mother..." looked at Song Zhaodi with tears in her eyes, "Sour..."

Song Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought your leg was broken." Chong Zhong Jianguo said, "Hurry up and bring the towel."

Zhong Jianguo couldn't help sighing, went out and grabbed a wet towel and slapped Sanwa's face: "I'm nineteen years old, and I can cry even with my knees. Are you crying so hard?"

"The training is too tiring, so I forgot the pain." Sanwa muttered.

Song Zhaodi is distressed: "Mother will make you something delicious tomorrow."

"Bull's head?" Sanwa asked.

Song Zhaodi smiled: "Tau Tau wait until you go to school soon."

"Then I want to eat crabs." Sanwa said.

Song Zhaodi nodded: "I'll steam six for you tomorrow, so that you can eat enough. I'll make you some prawns with scallion pancakes."

Sanwa burst into tears.

Zhong Jianguo couldn't help frowning and wanted to say a few words to him. Seeing that the tears on his face were still dry, he simply continued to eat the watermelon.

Erwa has made money now, and promised to buy a plane ticket for Sanwa. On the morning of the 21st, she personally sent Sanwa to the airport and gave Sanwa 500 yuan in pocket money.

When Sanwa went out with her classmates, she saw her classmates buying things, and he wanted to buy them too. But when I got it, the clothes were not as good as his second brother's, the food was not as good as his mother's, and the toiletries were all bought by Song Zhaodi in Shencheng, and they were better than the local ones. As a result, the 500 yuan Erwa gave him was only used up to 50 yuan during the winter vacation.

When I got home on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, Sanwa took Song Zhaodi upstairs, took out the money, and whispered, "Mother, you save it for me, the second brother gave it."

Song Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, I'll save it for you, when your second brother asks you if you still have money, you say, when you go out with your classmates, ask your classmates It's almost enough to eat."

"I think so too." Sanwa grinned, "Mother, am I smart?"

Song Zhaodi: "Smart. Let's go down. Listen to your second brother, your older brother can come back this year."

"When?" Sanwa asked hurriedly.

Song Zhaodi: "Maybe in her thirties."

"If brother Zili also comes back, our family will be together this year." Sanwa said, "I'll call Grandpa Qi and ask him if brother Zili can come back."

Song Zhaodi grabbed him: "Don't fight. Your grandfather Qi's body is not very good, and you will return to the imperial capital this year to celebrate the New Year. Even if you can come back on your own, you have to stay in the imperial capital."

Sanwa turned around and said, "Grandpa Qi, won't it work?"

"Eighty years old, no one can tell." Song Zhaodi said, "Your grandma and grandfather have not been doing well in the past two years. Your aunt has prepared coffins for them."

Sanwa's good mood suddenly hit rock bottom: "Mother, let's go see grandma another day."

"After the new year, I saw my grandma, did you take a plane from Binhai to school?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Sanwa nodded.

In fact, the big baby didn't come back this year. Reinforcement and self-reliance were also absent. The Erwa factory was on holiday. When Liu Anan and his wife went back, they asked Liu Jingjing to go back with her. Liu Jingjing didn’t see her parents for half a year, so Zhenxing went back with her. As a result, during the Spring Festival this year, the Zhong family Extraordinarily few. But the Zhong family was more lively than in previous years.

Erwa's factory was established, and many unemployed women on the island went to work in the Erwa factory. During the holiday at the end of the year, ordinary workers also get a one-month bonus. When these workers return to the island, they go to Zhong's house to visit Song Zhaodi. Until the age of 30, no one stopped.

Sanwa, who never felt that he was noisy, knew for the first time what a quarrel made his head hurt, and he was not in the mood to miss his eldest brother, his independent brother and his reborn brother.

In 1986, on the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Song Zhaodi and Sanwa arrived at Xiaosong Village. Father Song learned that Sanwa had specially come to see them. Father Song, who had hardly ever cried in his life, had eyes in the eyes Tonghong, holding Sanwa's hand, kept saying that he was a good boy.

Father Song knew his body, and it was difficult for the children to last until the summer vacation, so he told Song Zhaodi that the children were very busy in school, work and work. When he dies, don't let the children come back.

Song Zhaodi promised, she remembered.

More than a month later, Song father passed away, Song Zhaodi, Zhong Jianguo, Erwa, Zhenxing, Liu Jingjing and Gengsheng all went. Zhen Gang was going to go, but when he was about to leave, his teacher told him that there was an operation and asked Zhen Gang to do it with him.

At that time, Erwa went to inform Zhen Gang, and when he heard this, he told Zhen Gang to stay. Zhen Gang said that even if he stayed, it would be difficult for him to concentrate and not be able to help his teacher.

The second child asked him if his parents were ill in the future and needed surgery, he would do the surgery, whether he would do it or not.

Zhengang wanted to say, let others do it. When the words come to the mouth, they don't worry about outsiders. After hesitating for a while, he said he was not going.

Mother Song and Father Song have been chatting for a lifetime. In fact, the two have a very good relationship. After Father Song left, Mother Song's health deteriorated. Half a month later, she followed suit.

This time the vibration just passed, Zhong Jianguo failed to pass. Seeing that her elder sister and elder brother-in-law were very sad, Song Zhaodi asked them to go to Wengzhou Island with her for a while.

Song Laibao was worried about his younger son, and Dali was also worried about his parents, so he took the initiative to ask his younger brother to live in his house.

Dali's daughter-in-law is very sensible, but Dali's child is still young. When she comes back from get off work and takes care of the child, she has to stare at her uncle to study. Song Zhaodi puts herself in her shoes and thinks about it, and asks her little nephew to go to Wengzhou with her island.

On April 6th of the solar calendar, Song Zhaodi returned to Wengzhou Island, and the next day brought Song Laibao's youngest son to the revitalization class. Every evening, Liu Jingjing and Song Laibao cooked, and Zhenxing stared at the small watch Brother is doing homework.

Staying at Song Zhaodi's house for a week, Song Laibao's youngest son urged his parents to go home. Song Laibao saw him like this, but he stayed until the end of the month, really worried about his family's fields before going back.

On the afternoon of April 30th, Song Zhaodi sent her eldest sister away. On the way back, she told Zhenxing, "That kid probably doesn't want to see you in this life."

"Auntie's little son is smart, much smarter than Dali, but he is too slick." Zhen Xing said, "I think when the summer vacation is over, I can pick him up and live with us for another ten and a half days. months."

Liu Jingjing smiled: "Then he will remember you for a lifetime."

"At most, it can be remembered when he was in college." Zhenxing said, "Teacher, I remember Erwa said that he advertised on the court platform for a month last year, and the number of workers expanded to more than 100, so he was still busy. I have to work overtime until ten o’clock, and then did I go to another place to recruit people?”

Song Zhaodi thought about it carefully: "It seems that Mao Ni is looking for it. I'm busy with your grandma and grandfather during this time, so I didn't bother to ask him. What's the matter?"

Go, my grandmother seems to have only a cousin who is a little older than me, a cousin who is ten years younger than me, and doesn't sound like a cousin in her twenties."
