Chapter 300： extra five

Song Zhaodi think about it: "In the past two years, more and more people have gone out to travel, and there must be crowds outside the 11th long holiday. Let's not join in the fun. Cancan, call your dad and them. Phone, go to our place during the 11th holiday. Wait for your winter and summer holidays-"

"Where to play?" Yan Yan hurriedly asked.

Zhong Jianguo was also curious: "Where are you going to play at the end of the year?"

"No." Song Zhaodi told the truth, "The winter vacation is short, after twenty-four or five, our family has to prepare the New Year's goods again, and we can't go out to play for a few days."

Yan Yan was disappointed: "Grandma, are you not going out?"

"It's not that grandma is targeting you." Song Zhaodi said, "We didn't go out before the year before, but after the year. But you have to go to your grandma's house after the year." After a pause, "Why don't we go to the Northeast?" Looking at Zhong Jianguo.

Zhong Jianguo thought about it carefully: "Binhai has an airport, let's fly from the imperial capital to Binhai, see eldest brother and your eldest sister, and then go to other places?"

"Grandpa, what's the fun there?" Shuo Shuo asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "I don't know, ask your grandma. She will study where there is fun and delicious food when she has nothing to do."

"I heard that there is a street in the northeast where all the Korean snacks are sold." Song Zhaodi said, "I'll find someone to inquire about tomorrow. If it's worth going, you have a winter vacation. , let's go."

Xuanxuan is curious: "There are also Koreans in our country?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi said, "There are many Koreans in the northeast. Just like although there is Mongolia, there are also many Mongolians in our country. By the way, you didn't lie in front of the computer every day last year. Do you watch South Korean idol dramas?

"When we arrive in the Northeast, you can learn the Korean language from the people over there, and you can understand a little bit after watching South Korean idol dramas. You don't need to be curious about what they eat, because South Korean food It's not much different from the Koreans."

Wei Wei shook his head: "Grandma, I don't like watching South Korean idol dramas, I like watching "Underground Station" now."

"Then don't learn." Song Zhaodi speaks very well.

Wei Wei likes his grandma the most, so he can't help but smile: "Can my parents go with us?"

"Can your dad make time?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Wei Wei shook his head: "I don't know. However, my father said that he will spend the winter vacation with me this year."

"Then let's go when your father is resting." Jing Weiwei said, Song Zhaodi was afraid that her daughter-in-law would miss a few children, so she returned to the imperial capital on August 23.

Before getting on the plane, Zhong Jianguo asked Cancan to inform his uncle and uncle that he would come to pick up the child tomorrow. As a result, on August 25, only Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi were left in the Zhong family in the cadre compound.

As soon as the five noisy children left, Zhong Jianguo was really not used to it, and he forgot that his grandson went back with his parents after a little inattention.

Song Zhaodi found that Zhong Jianguo called his grandson's name five or six times a day, and took Zhong Jianguo to the Palace Museum the next day. After a day off at home, I dragged him to the park for a day. The next day, after a long break, the old couple went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and fruits in the afternoon.

Occasionally it was too hot outside and didn't want to run outside, so Zhong Jianguo would play mahjong with the guards and play games with Song Zhaodi, so that on the last day of August, in the afternoon, when the grandchildren came back, see Zhong Jianguo The first sentence to them was not "you are coming", but "how did you come back so soon".

Lingling is still young, so she didn't think much, she opened her mouth and said, "School starts tomorrow, grandpa."

"Grandpa dislikes you." Zhong Dawa smiled, "I hope you stay at home for another ten days and a half month."

Lingling ran to Zhong Jianguo, raised her head and said, "Grandpa, I miss you. Did you miss me?"

Zhong Jianguo was overjoyed and pulled her to his side: "Grandpa has been too busy these days and forgot to miss you. Are you not angry with Grandpa?"

"Don't be angry." Lingling asked, "Grandpa, you are busy, are you hanging out with grandma?"

Song Zhaodi smiled helplessly: "We didn't go out to play. We've been busy cooking for you these few days."

"What's delicious?" Wei Wei broke Xiao Yun's hand and ran in.

Song Zhaodi looked out and saw Qi Xuan behind him: "Did you discuss it?"

"Grandma, what's delicious?" Qi Xuan asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "There are potato chips, cakes, yogurt, pumpkin cakes and brown sugar cakes. By the way, there are also moon cakes. You can take a few pieces when you go."

"Moon cakes?" Xiao Yun said, "You are not too troublesome."

Song Zhaodi: "There are a few aunties to help, no trouble. Besides, I won't do it in the future. Your dad and I found a factory that makes custom mooncakes, and we order a few boxes another day, and ask Cancan to send them to you. By the way, Cancan, everything is in the kitchen, take your younger brother and sister to get it, take as much as you eat."

After eating about a dozen slices, I felt that the taste was not right, so I ate a little more and started to water.

Seeing Song Zhaodi, Cancan told her that the potato chips his classmate bought were strange. Song Zhaodi told him that the potato chips sold in the supermarket contained a lot of seasoning. After that, Cancan never ate any of his classmates' potato chips, nor did he buy them himself. Occasionally if I want to eat, I will endure it until Friday, and go to his grandparents' house to eat at night.

Speaking of which, Cancan found four plates, a plate of potato chips, a plate of cakes, a plate of puff pastry and pumpkin pie, and a plate of moon cakes, and asked a few younger brothers and sisters to bring them to the living room. He and Yanyan poured water for the elders.

Because Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo couldn't go out on the National Day on the 11th National Day, Dawa and the others kept the holiday together with the National Day holiday. So the big baby sent Lingling to the grandparents' house and asked for a day off. Xiao Yun is the same. So, after sitting at home for a while, they go back, after all, they have to go to work tomorrow.

Speaking of the 11th National Day, Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi planned to take a few grandchildren to a nearby park for a stroll, and heard Cancan and Yanyan say that the buses couldn’t get on, and the private cars on the road One next to the other, move up to ten meters in half an hour. Lingling was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, and said that it was terrible.

Cancan said with a smile: "People's life is getting better and better, and there will be more and more private cars in the future. Now it's only a holiday jam, and it will be jammed every day in the future."

"That's true." Song Zhaodi said, "Cancan, this year's junior year, it's time to look for a job in the second half of next year, should you come out to work, or continue to study?"

Cancan: "Go ahead. I want to work in the Ministry of Commerce."

"Then you will stay in the imperial capital?" asked Yan Yan.

Cancan nodded: "I told my parents, they said they would move to the imperial capital when they retire."

"Your house is big, your parents move to the imperial capital, you can get married and have a child, so you can live there." Song Zhaodi said, and suddenly thought, "Your mother is about to retire. ."

Chan Can: "Come on, there are still a few years."

"The elder brother will become a social man in a few years." Shuo Shuo said suddenly.

Can Can froze for a moment: "Social people?"

"Yeah." Shuo Shuo said, "I'm a student in the school, after graduation, aren't you a member of society?"

Cancan was speechless: "You are right. We count you as the smartest."

"I'm smart too." Lingling said.

Cancan: "You are all smart, okay. Have you done your homework? Finish your homework first. After a few days, there will be fewer people outside, and Yanyan and I will take you to the playground. Sit down. Carousels, bumper cars, pirate ships."

"Then let's write now." Shuo Shuo grabbed Qi Xuan on the left, and Lingling on the right ran to the study. However, I couldn't go after a few days because there were too many people outside.

October 9th is the 40th anniversary of the marriage of Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi. At this time, the holiday is over. Because Dawa and Zili are on vacation, Zhenxing and Zhengang have asked for leave, so everyone The children gathered in the cadre compound.

After a lively day, my son and daughter-in-law went back. Zhong Jianguo, Song Zhaodi and seven grandchildren were left in the courtyard. However, Dawa, Zili and Sanwa were still on vacation, so Dawa came again early the next morning.

Song Zhaodi turned to the game room when she saw Dawa entering the door: "Zhong Dawa, sit down, I have something to tell you."

"Mom, your grandson has grown up, so don't call me Dawa, okay?" Dawa stopped and said.

Song Zhaodi: "I call you Zhong Jianqiang? Don't you call you Zhong Jianqiang all day long? It's very ugly? Call you Major General Zhong?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Dawa said, "What do you like to shout. What's the matter?"

Zhong Jianguo: "Your mother wants to ask Lingling to learn a talent, do you think it is the violin or the piano?"

"What does Lingling want to learn?" Dawa asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "She just likes to jump around." After a pause, he added, "Erwa taught Shuo Shuo how to draw, and Shuo Shuo wanted to teach her, but she stopped learning for a day."

"Then don't learn it." Dawa said, "I didn't learn any talent when I was a child, so I didn't mix it up like this."

Song Zhaodi: "Then how can you be admitted to university at the age of sixteen?"

"You and my dad taught it." Dawa said.

Song Zhaodi: "Because of me and your father, your starting point is higher than others. Today's children have learned several talents, so your daughter's starting point is lower than others. Do you think she When you grow up, can you still be as promising as you?" Before he could speak, he added, "You can say that your daughter doesn't have to work so hard, and you will support her in the future. But when she grows up, she understands everything when she sees her peers. A little, everything can be a little, what will she think?"

"What if Lingling doesn't want to learn?" Dawa asked.

Zhong Jianguo: "You don't have to worry about this, your mother has a way. If you learn the violin, go buy a violin for Lingling, and if you learn the piano, go buy a piano."

"Then I will go back and discuss with your daughter-in-law." Dawa said, "I will give you an answer tomorrow?"

Song Zhaodi: "Don't play the game for a while and forget it."

"No, no." Dawa went back in the evening, did not go home, and went straight to the hospital to find his wife. Two days later, a piano for beginners was delivered.

The next day, Song Zhaodi asked the guards to buy an identical one for her. The guard came back and told Song Zhaodi that the piano she bought was very cheap, and she still had half of the money left. Song Zhaodi didn’t complain that she was stingy because she didn’t expect to train Lingling to be a performer. What kind of piano would she use for Lingling? it's the same. If Lingling can persevere, then change the piano.

Lingling saw another piano and couldn't help but ask: "Grandma, why do you buy so many pianos?"

"I want to learn piano." Song Zhaodi said, "I still want Lingling to accompany me, will you accompany grandma to learn piano?"

Zhong Jianguo followed: "Lingling will definitely be willing to accompany you. Right? Lingling."

"I don't want to learn the piano." Lingling hesitated for a moment, then spoke her thoughts.

Song Zhaodi: "When Lingling is doing her homework, grandma accompanies you. When Lingling learns taekwondo, grandma and grandpa take you there, and when Lingling wants to go out to play, grandma also takes you there, you Can't you accompany grandma once?"

The little girl was guilty of what Song Zhaodi said and felt selfish: "Okay, okay, I'll accompany grandma to learn the piano."

"The New Year's Day will take you to KTV to sing." Song Zhaodi said.

Xuanxuan asked: "Grandma, take us there?"

"When Lingling and I were learning the piano, you were learning painting with Shuoshuo in the study, and I would take you there." Song Zhaodi said, "After the year, I will ask you a few days off, Take you to the South China Sea."

Shuo Shuo opened his mouth: "South China Sea? Is it the South China Sea with coconuts?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi nodded.

Shuo Shuo stretched out her hand: "Grandma, the hook can't be changed for a hundred years."

"When did I lie to you?" Song Zhaodi helplessly stretched out her little finger, "When you have learned something, I will ask your father to take you to play abroad."

Qi Xuan squeezed Shuo Shuo: "Which country?"

"You can go to any country you want." Song Zhaodi said.

Xuanxuan heard something wrong: "Grandma, grandpa, aren't you going?"

"Your grandfather also wants to go." Song Zhaodi said, "It takes a long time to go abroad by plane. Your grandfather is old and his body can't bear it."

Xuanxuan was a little disappointed: "Then I won't go either, I'll be at home with my grandparents."

"I'm not going either." Wei Wei said.

Zhong Jianguo immediately felt relieved: "You can take more photos abroad and bring us some local specialties."

"It's too early to say this." Song Zhaodi said, "You don't listen well in class, your studies are regressing, and you want to go abroad, I won't ask your dad to take you there." Looking at Shuosuo, he said .

Shuo Shuo hurriedly said, "I am very serious in class, grandma."

"If you take it seriously, it doesn't matter if you say it." Song Zhaodi said, "Go abroad at the end of next year, the year after, I will ask Erwa to take you to the model catwalk."

Qi Xuan did the math: "Grandma, what about next summer vacation?"

"Next year is 2008, our country will host the Olympic Games, have you forgotten?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Qi Xuan remembered: "We have to watch the Olympics. Grandma, I like watching basketball."

"Then let's play basketball." Zhong Jianguo said.

Lingling hurriedly asked: "Grandma, do you have taekwondo?"

"There should be." Song Zhaodi never paid attention to the Olympics in her last life, and in this life she felt that she didn't need to worry about Olympic tickets. Just call Erwa and he will deliver the tickets. Song Zhaodi didn't pay much attention to the Olympic events, "I'll check it online later."

Find out, Song Zhaodi copied the game and gave it to a few children and asked a few grandchildren to choose, only football was ignored. Zhong Jianguo noticed Song Zhaodi's frown and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"Do you like watching football games?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Zhong Jianguo didn't even think about it: "I'm looking for abuse."

"You can look forward to this year's football game." Song Zhaodi said.

Zhong Jianguo wants to ask, what do you know. Seeing that several grandchildren were nearby, I didn't ask. In the evening, when I returned to the bedroom with Song Zhaodi, I asked, "What do you mean by looking forward to it?"

At this time, the mobile phone can access the Internet, Song Zhaodi took out the mobile phone, found a photo of a little girl, and pointed it to Zhong Jianguo: "Do you know who she is?"

"It's the daughter of the actress you like very much." Zhong Jianguo said, "I shot a lot of commercials when I was young. What happened to her?"

Song Zhaodi: "She is the one who helped me go to school."

"She?!" Zhong Jianguo couldn't help widening his eyes and took away her mobile phone, "This little girl?"

Song Zhaodi: "This little girl is white and rich and will marry a rich and handsome man when she grows up. Her handsome, rich and handsome husband is a child of a rich family, not only will he participate in the Olympic Games, but he is also a genius. Do you think this year's football match , can you look forward to it?"

"Yes." Zhong Jianguo said, "How about we buy some lottery tickets tomorrow?"

Song Zhaodi was speechless: "Are you short of money?"

"There is no shortage." Zhong Jianguo said, "Remember that Cancan and Yanyan can go to the sports lottery store to buy football lottery tickets. They will definitely buy our country to lose, and then we buy the national team to win. Tell them when the game is over. That—"

Song Zhaodi: "Then they are so angry that they vomit blood."

"That's what I thought." Zhong Jianguo said.

Song Zhaodi was happy: "Okay. Just be happy."

On the last day of the 2008 Olympic Games, the football event was over. Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo watched the football match, went home to rest for a while, and went to watch the closing ceremony in the evening.

At that time, the school had not yet started, and the closing ceremony was over, Cancan and Yanyan returned to the cadre compound with Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo.

The next morning, after breakfast, Zhong Jianguo asked his two eldest grandsons, "I heard from your grandmother, how much did you earn from buying football quizzes?"

"I didn't earn a cent, and I lost all the money they made part-time." Xuanxuan said with a smile, "I reminded them to buy less, they still think I'm a little kid. . How is it now?"

Cancan glared at him: "You don't talk much."

Zhong Jianguo glanced at him and asked the attendant to take out the football quiz ticket he bought. The attendant not only took out a stack of tickets, but also took a stack of cash and put it in front of Zhong Jianguo.

"The principal is one hundred, count how many." Zhong Jianguo pouted at the money on the coffee table.

In the last game, he bought the national football team to win, but the national football team lost and tried his best. The loss was not very ugly: "Grandpa, you have inside information, why didn't you tell me?"

"What inside information?" Zhong Jianguo said, "You didn't watch the interviews with the national football players after the game? They didn't know they could win, so they played every game as the last one and fought hard. Do your best to win several games in a row.”

Song Zhaodi: "Let me remind you, it is reported on the Internet that the family of a national football player loses in buying the national football team. If there is inside information, they will not tell their own family, but tell your grandfather? what?"

"Then how did you buy it?" asked Yan Yan.

Zhong Jianguo: "I didn't buy much, I just bought it against you."

"You..." Cancan opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, "No wonder you always ask me which team wins before I buy. Grandpa, you are too much. !"

Zhong Jianguo asked with a smile: "How can I go too far? Have I told you that for the sake of the national football team, you have to support it too. But you said, support the national football team. It's a waste of money. You all said that, what more can I say?"

"Is it possible that your grandfather's feather duster beats you?" Song Zhaodi said, "I also reminded you that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. If you don't listen—"

Yanyan: "Grandma, it's not that we don't listen, it's that we never dreamed that there could be a real man in that gang of soft-footed shrimp. No, he's not a man, he's just a bug."

It’s not a month’s salary for a part-time job.”

Cancan and Yanyan nodded and said in unison, "Got it, grandma, grandpa."

Zhong Jianguo pointed at the money on the table: "Take it and buy something delicious."

"These?" Shuosuo asked busyly.

Zhong Jianguo nodded: "Don't buy junk food, buy entertainment, buy fruit, buy steak, etc. You can go now."

"Thank you grandpa." Shuoshuo grabbed the money, "I counted how many. Grandpa, if we haven't decided what to buy, can we divide the money?"

Zhong Jianguo: "Yes."

"Fifth brother, I don't want more, just give me five hundred." Lingling said.

Shuoshuo raised her head sharply: "You are not small? You are five hundred for one person, and three thousand five for seven people. Count by yourself, is there three thousand five here?"

"I don't want to count." Lingling said.

Shuo Shuo glared at her: "I want to beat you. Grandpa said, the average score. If you don't obey, I will return the money to Grandpa, and we don't score."

Lingling pursed her lips and turned to Zhong Jianguo: "Grandpa, fifth brother bullied me."

"What do you want for five hundred dollars?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Lingling think about it: "I want to buy a sword."

"She likes fencing recently." Xuan Xuan said.

Song Zhaodi: "Your second uncle knows a lot of people. I will ask her to take you to the fencing training hall another day. If you can last a week, I will buy you a sword." I don't want to go, it's too boring to practice fencing, and it's not fun to learn the piano.

Song Zhaodi was not surprised at all. But she didn't let Lingling go, and because of this, she said that Lingling disappointed her too much, she was very unhappy, and took the opportunity to take Lingling to practice the half-day qin.

It was not until many years later that Lingling remembered it. When she was a child, her grandparents never forced her to learn anything, but she used routines every day. But because of Song Zhaodi's deep routines, after graduating from junior high school, Lingling can teach children to talk about the piano.

In 2017, Lingling was in her first year of high school. Before the summer vacation, she called the piano cram school and asked her when she could teach the children to play the piano. Lingling wanted to make another money, but she wanted to go out and play.

In mid-July, the brothers were all on vacation, one person was pulling a large suitcase, and the seven brothers and sisters followed Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo on the "Fuxing" high-speed rail to Shencheng.

Walk around in Shencheng, then take the high-speed train to Yangcheng, and visit more than half of the country. At the beginning of August, the group returned to the cadre rest center. Lingling and a few older brothers were doing their summer homework, and Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo were not idle, wondering how to celebrate the golden wedding.

Zhong Jianguo is 80 years old this year. Since he went out to play with Song Zhaodi every three days, he was in a good mood and was in very good condition. People are not like father and son, but like brothers.

Liu Jingjing saw that her in-laws were so dashing, she told Zhenxing more than once that they would go out to play when he retired. Zhenxing also wanted to go out, although it would be a few years before he could retire, but when he knew that Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi were going out with their grandchildren again, he left his family and Liu Jingjing's plan, where they would go first after retirement.

That goes a long way.

Let's get down to business, Zhong Jianguo has eaten everything delicious, played everything fun, and even rode in the bumper cars that Lingling played when he was a child.

Speaking of bumper cars, Zhong Jianguo wanted to try it, but he was embarrassed. Song Zhaodi pushed him into the car and explained to the people around that Lingling insisted that her grandfather accompany her.

Lingling wanted to dismantle her grandmother, but she saw that her grandfather wanted to play, so she dragged Zhong Jianguo to play with his old man. As a result, the 50th wedding anniversary, I planned to celebrate it well, but now I don't know how to celebrate it.

Zhong Jianguo thought for a long time, then said to Song Zhaodi: "You make me a bowl of chicken soup and pork noodles."

"Then what are you doing for me?" Song Zhaodi asked rhetorically.

Zhong Jianguo thought about it: "I'll make a cake for you."

"A word is settled!" Song Zhaodi said.

Zhong Jianguo: "A word is settled!"

On the morning of October 9th, Erwa brought a big cake, the family gathered together, had a reunion dinner, and took a family photo, the son and daughter-in-law went back, Zhong Jianguo brought the invitation After a day of vacation, the grandchildren, who were unwilling to go back to their own home, and who had nothing to do, drove them out to play, so they went to the kitchen to make cakes.

Song Zhaodi boiled chicken soup and rolled noodles.

After four o'clock, the two of them made cakes and noodles respectively. Just after they brought them to the living room, seven grandchildren came back.

Zhong Jianguo wanted to curse: "Didn't I tell you to go out?"

"There's nothing to play outside." Shuo Shuo said, "We've played many times where the emperor can play. Grandpa, did you make a cake? Give me a taste."

Song Zhaodi: "That's for me. This noodle belongs to your grandfather, not yours."

"No wonder you told us to go out, it turns out that we are an eyesore." Cancan tutted, "I will propose to my girlfriend tomorrow, and this time next year, I will come to your house with my child every day. ."

Zhong Jianguo was furious: "You dare?!"

"What's not to dare." Qi Xuan said, "You can't drive him out."

Zhong Jianguo: "I dare!"

Cancan's complexion suddenly changed: "Grandpa, grandpa, just kidding, kidding, I don't have a girlfriend yet."

"Is there a boyfriend?" Song Zhaodi asked.

Cancan almost choked: "Grandma, you are old, how can you understand everything."

"So you don't even have a boyfriend?" Song Zhaodi said, "You really don't look like your dad. When your dad was your age, you went to kindergarten."

Cancan sighed: "I imagine him too, but our young people are under a lot of pressure. A couple supports four elderly people. House and car, alas, I—"

Zhong Jianguo picked up the water glass on the table and smashed it: "If you have a house and a car, you provide a **** RV! Your parents have pensions, they want you to support them? Get out!"

Cancan was taken aback: "Grandpa, you are eighty years old, take it easy."

"I'm ninety years old, and I can swing a feather duster." Zhong Jianguo said, "Lingling, go get me the feather duster."

Lingling smiled "Hey" and ran to find the feather duster.

Song Zhaodi laughed: "Let's eat noodles."

"You eat cake too." Zhong Jianguo said.
