Chapter 22：

After the rice ball was stoned, she saw Su Xiaoxiao, who had always been smiling, pursed her lips and came out of the kitchen. She suddenly thought of something, looked a little flustered, and consciously stood in the corner: "Mom, I was wrong, I shouldn't throw stones, I I, I didn't mean to, I just can't remember it all at once!"

The rice ball's eyes were red and he was about to cry, but Su Xiaoxiao's heart softened.

No matter how smart the rice ball was, he was only a five-year-old child, and was wasted by Zhou Cuihua for a year. Strictly speaking, his behavior and common sense were similar to those of a three- or four-year-old child.

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand, "Come on, mom will tell you later, let's go out first to see what's going on."

The woman at the door has "bang bang bang" kicked the door of their yard.

"Come out! The people inside come out for me!"

Su Xiaoxiao took the rice ball and walked out, a well-dressed woman who looked at Swan Wen stood at the door of their yard with a cold face.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her, and she also looked at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was still wearing patched clothes brought from Sujia Village, and she didn't even have time to buy new clothes.

Although she didn't show it clearly, Su Xiaoxiao could see that her expression became a little disgusting.

"My surname is Cheng, I'm a teacher at the elementary school in the military area. You are Director Han's newly married daughter-in-law? How do you teach other people's children? You can't be so careless about other people's children as a stepmother, you're about to smash my son's head on the head. There's a hole."

Su Xiaoxiao originally thought it was a loss, but a stepmother wouldn't teach her son. The so-called mother-in-law is not as old as the foster-mother. From the moment she accepted the rice **** and bean buns, she raised them as her own sons. How dare you say that Does she care? !

These words really hit Su Xiaoxiao's inverse scales.

No matter how annoyed Su Xiaoxiao was, her expression was gentle and her voice was gentle, she counterattacked softly, "Mr. Cheng, right, I would raise my son without you, my son would not steal other people's things, my son It's wrong to do it, but don't you ask your son what he did first?"

Cheng Lifang's husband is a battalion commander. She has a junior high school education and is teaching pre-school Chinese in a military district primary school. She is naturally good at eloquence. "How can a child steal a persimmon if he is greedy? When Dr. Yang was there, the child passed by a persimmon tree and picked one. I didn’t say anything about eating, so how could you be a steal? Comrade, it’s not right for you to teach your children this way. If you don’t educate your children well, we will not dare to accept them in elementary schools in the future. Who is responsible for hurting other people's children?"

What kind of absurdity is this, Su Xiaoxiao laughed angrily, "If my son hits someone for no reason, the death and injury will be counted on me! This comrade, who is not educating his son well? Whether it is a persimmon or a persimmon tree, it is our family. If your son wants to eat persimmons, he can come in and ask us for it. If you don’t ask, it will be considered stealing. It is called stealing needles when you are young, and stealing gold when you are old.

Chen Lifang saw that Su Xiaoxiao was dressed in rags, looking like she had just come out of the country and had never seen the world, but she looked like a human being. How could a country girl who is a stepmother for others have a better family? Going to school or not is a problem. I didn't expect her to be so articulate and not lose her at all. She originally planned to ask the other party to apologize and pay a few persimmons, but she didn't know that she would be unforgiving.

Chen Lifang stared at her, "Then your consciousness is that your son won't apologize to my son?"

Su Xiaoxiao still had a good-natured look on her face, with a full smile, "It's wrong for my son to throw stones at people, but there is a reason for the incident. I said the same thing when I arrived at the police station. Your son apologizes to my son first, admitting that it was wrong for him to steal things, and my son will do it again. Apologize to your son, admit that it was wrong to throw stones, and then the two children shook hands and made peace, what do you think?"

Cheng Lifang also laughed angrily. There are a lot of people in the town, but the college entrance examination has been canceled in recent years, and most of the intellectuals have also gone to the countryside. After graduating from junior high school, there are not many people who can speak well and can teach and educate others. This is the first time she has encountered a soft nail like Su Xiaoxiao.

"Does it make sense for your son to beat someone?"

"Who beat someone?" Han Cheng just heard Cheng Lifang's words when he came back from get off work.

The rice ball hid in Su Xiaoxiao's arms, and the five-year-old rice ball suddenly remembered that when he was a three-year-old rice ball, he once smashed a hole in the head of a pupil who bullied his little sister and was locked up by his father when he returned home. Half a day in the toilet, no food is allowed.

Su Xiaoxiao touched the rice ball's head to reassure him, she didn't speak yet, Cheng Lifang couldn't wait to say: "Director Han, you came back just in time, your son smashed my son's head with a stone, look at this, it's a big lump. , you can also find a reliable stepmother for your son. She doesn't know what's going on, but she will cover up your son and refuse to apologize. Originally, it's a very small matter. Just say sorry and it's over, but she It's unreasonable and unforgiving, even if you are a stepmother, you can't teach your son like this, right? Of course it's easy to indulge your child, but you can cause serious trouble later."

After Cheng Lifang finished speaking, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a "wait and see" look.

Su Xiaoxiao knows what it means to sue the wicked first.

She didn't speak, she wanted to hear what Han Cheng had to say first.

Han Cheng glanced at Su Xiaoxiao's arms and didn't even dare to look at his son. After all, his son was a habitual criminal who smashed people with stones. The sentence "You smashed people with stones again" almost blurted out. With a smile in his eyes, the words turned abruptly at the corner of his mouth:

"Although I don't know the cause and effect, my lover is a sensible person, and she has her reasons for how she handles it. Her stepmother educates rice **** better than my own father, so don't bother you. If there is any misunderstanding, listen to what she has to say first."

Cheng Lifang was an eye-opener. It really wasn't that the whole family didn't enter the house. If it were her man, she would have slapped her son long ago. I never heard that Director Han was so indulgent to his daughter-in-law and children?

If she remembered correctly, the rice **** threw stones at people two years ago, and he paid them dozens of bucks for medical expenses and even beat the rice balls? How did it become like this now?

Su Xiaoxiao is very satisfied with Comrade Hancheng's performance, she has a good eye, and the man she likes is quite good, "Her son stole our persimmon, and the rice ball was digging for earthworms and saw it, and he threw a stone outside. If you hit her son, I said you should apologize, if you hit someone, you should apologize, and if you steal something, you should apologize, what's wrong with that?"

Han Cheng nodded, looked at Cheng Lifang, and repeated Su Xiaoxiao's words: "What's wrong with this?"

Cheng Lifang was so aggrieved that she had nothing to say, but she didn't dare to do anything to Han Cheng. Her husband almost lost his life in the battle a few years ago. Han Cheng tried his best to rescue him from King Yama. Han Cheng is very respected, no one knows when the next time he will go to the battlefield, whether he will point to others to save his life, he can only eat Huang Lian angrily and drag his son away.

When Cheng Lifang took her son away, Han Cheng turned his attention to his son: "How many times have I said that you can't hit people with stones?"

"Mom..." The rice ball was about to cry, hiding in Su Xiaoxiao's arms.

In this world, only mother is the best and most reasonable and understands rice **** best, and father will definitely train him again.

Su Xiaoxiao squatted down and looked at the child, looked into the child's eyes and said, "Cub, didn't my mother say in the morning that you can't throw rocks casually, and you have to convince people with reason? If it hits people's eyes, you will never see anything for the rest of your life. Now, you are so sad when my brother hurts his hand. He won't get better if he hurts his eyes. His parents are so sad, right? He is also a child. It's wrong to steal. It's just a matter of coming back, you can't do it first, can you remember this time?"

The rice ball really listened to it this time, and nodded seriously: "Remember, Mom."

"Then tell your father well, Mommy is going to see if the meal is ready." Su Xiaoxiao whispered to Han Cheng, "You can teach your son in any way, but you can't hit anyone."

Han Cheng: "..." Whose son is this?

"Do I look fierce?" Has he never hit his son?

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and glanced at him, two index fingers pressed the corners of his mouth on both sides and lifted up, "It's a little bit when you're not smiling, it would be better if you could smile more."

Su Xiaoxiao bent down to pick up Xiaodoubao and kissed his cheek, "Our little cubs should laugh more, not as serious as daddy."

Han Cheng: "..." Does his daughter-in-law think that everyone's name is Su Xiaoxiao and they love to laugh like her?

After Su Xiaoxiao entered the kitchen, Han Cheng pointed to the wall behind the rice ball: "Go there and stand there, face the wall for ten minutes, and then tell me what's wrong."

Onigiri instinctively wanted to ask Su Xiaoxiao for help.

Han Cheng said, "It's no use looking for anyone, just go."

Su Xiaoxiao is doting on children, but not doting. As long as she doesn't do it, Han Cheng will not interfere in her son's education. Most boys have heroic complexes, and they have been strong since childhood. She knows that a majestic father is in the boy's life How important is it to establish correct three views for him in the process of growing up, this role cannot be replaced by a mother.

The rice is not ready yet, it is estimated that it will take about ten minutes. At the same time that the rice **** were punished to stand, Hancheng went to make a fence for the chickens, otherwise, the whole yard would be dragged with chicken excrement, smelly and unsanitary. It is more hygienic to keep it in a range, and the chicken feces are natural organic fertilizers that can be used to grow vegetables.

Hancheng made an arc-shaped fence around the corner of the vegetable field, and put the chicks in it.

Su Xiaoxiao really felt that Han Cheng was ingenious, and even suspected that Han Cheng had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder. The height and width of each bamboo were almost the same, and the small rows were particularly beautiful.

"It would be nice to have a ring of morning glories attached to the fence."

Han Cheng thought for a moment and said, "The loofah, winter melon, bitter gourd, pumpkin, beans, and snow pea seeds in that bag of seeds seem to be vine crops, which can bloom, bear fruit, and be eaten, but they are suitable for growing now. There are only leeks, radishes and cabbage, but we are not so cold this winter, so the loofah and bitter gourd may be covered with adhesive tape, and the beans are not sure if they are green beans, but you can also try planting some.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Han Cheng with more than just worship, this was really her blind spot of knowledge.

Su Xiaoxiao gave him a thumbs up, "Comrade Hancheng, you are amazing! You know this, but I don't know what to plant."

Han Cheng glanced at her suspiciously, "Didn't your mother tell you this?"

The Su family's parents love her very much, and her two older brothers love her too. It is estimated that she likes to laugh since she was a child, so her parents named her Xiaoxiao. Ordinary rural families can't raise her with this temperament. Around her, even if she didn't deliberately teach these basic common sense as a peasant, she should be able to hear it.

Su Xiaoxiao mobilized the original owner's memory and sorted out her thoughts before saying: "I was a premature baby, and my body was relatively thin when I was a child. Fortunately, I was good at studying. My parents loved me very much. Study hard. In the future, I will be assigned to work in the city after the college entrance examination, so I will not have to go to the fields to do farm work. Unfortunately, the year I was preparing for the college entrance examination, it was suddenly announced that the college entrance examination was canceled. , I’m still reluctant to let me work in the fields, who knows that this wasted six years, so I really don’t know what’s going on in the fields, so I might have to write to my mother.”

Su Xiaoxiao also felt sorry for the original owner. The so-called poor son, the original owner, as a girl, the first place in the exam every year is very amazing, and she wanted to change her destiny through knowledge. Who knows that a movement will lock the door of this fate.

Many people waited and gave up learning because they felt that there was no hope, but the original owner did not do so. She has never stopped learning for six years. Apart from teaching Dabao and Xiaobao to learn, she is also reviewing the past and learning new things almost every day. The knowledge of middle and high school She can almost memorize it backwards. She is preparing for the college entrance examination every year. As long as the college entrance examination is announced to be resumed, she can immediately show her strengths.

Too bad she didn't wait.

If Su Xiaoxiao remembers correctly, there are still five full years before the resumption of the college entrance examination. By then, the rice **** and beanbags will also grow up. She may be able to fulfill her wish for the original owner and go to college for her, but everything It's too early to say, let's not say whether her arrival has caused any butterfly effect, that is, whether this era and her previous life in the 1970s are in the same time and space, let's take a step by step.

"But I haven't stopped studying in the past six years. Hancheng, if I have the chance, I still want to take the college entrance examination." Su Xiaoxiao gave Hancheng a psychological preparation first, otherwise she suddenly said that she would take the college entrance examination a few years later, and she still passed the test. Well it might scare him.

After all, the original owner was the resident of the oldest of the three classes.

Speaking of which, she hasn't reported her mother's safety yet, she has to find a time to write them a letter.

During the blind date, Su Xiaoxiao said "I have read for a few years", Han Cheng thought she might graduate from elementary school or at most junior high school, but she didn't expect that she was a real high school student, which was a little unexpected to Han Cheng.

Her educational level is already higher than that of most lesbians in the military region. Many members of the art troupe, nurses in military hospitals, elementary school teachers, etc. have only junior high school education. Even if the college entrance examination is not canceled, more families would prefer their daughters to go to technical secondary schools. , So that he can start work earlier, Su Xiaoxiao is a relatively rare high school graduate, especially in rural areas.

How does Han Cheng know that compared to Su Xiaoxiao's postgraduate education in her previous life, graduating from high school is really just "a few years of reading" for her.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that Han Cheng would say something, but he just said lightly: "Live until you are old, learn when you are old, and persevering in learning is a good habit, and the college entrance examination will recover sooner or later."

Han Cheng himself has always been self-study and never stopped learning. If there is a chance, he also wants to go back to a higher institution to continue his studies.

"Then are your high school textbooks still there? I didn't bring mine." Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Han Cheng nodded, "Yes, I keep all the textbooks and books I have read since I was a child, in the innermost cabinet."

The learning opportunities as a child were hard-won, and Han Cheng cherished books since he was a child.

Su Xiaoxiao was very surprised. One of the things she remembered deeply from her student days was that in each stage of the graduation season, there would be a few tattered uncles and aunties squatting at the school gate to catch them and ask them if they were selling books, how much and how much. A pound like that.

Textbooks in the 21st century can be seen everywhere, and it is basically useless to keep them after graduation. Even if they are really needed, they can be found in bookstores at any time. Therefore, everyone basically sells the books as waste paper after graduation.

Unexpectedly, Han Cheng kept the textbooks for decades, and she wanted to open the cabinet immediately to see if there was any rot.

Now that a consensus has been reached, Su Xiaoxiao did not continue on this topic, and said with a smile: "Comrade Hancheng is great, it's time for our son's penalty stand, go and lift the seal for him, I'll have dinner."

In fact, Han Cheng also wanted to ask her how to cook a good dish. With her skill, she is a talent for going to work in a state-run restaurant in the county. However, if you think about it carefully, some people are talented in this area, and with her cleverness Wisdom, I have seen and heard people say it, or I can do it with a little reading, so I don't bother to ask.

The little rice ball in the corner has always been listening to the corner, and when Su Xiaoxiao said that the penalty time is enough, he immediately turned around, just in time to meet Hancheng's line of sight.

"Dad, I know I'm wrong. I promise I'll never throw stones again, and I'll never throw it in the water. I really promise!"

Smart children can become the pillars of the country if they are properly disciplined, and vice versa. If they are not properly disciplined, they will do more harm to society than the average person. Therefore, educating such children is a very profound knowledge.

"Han Jing!" Han Cheng usually calls the name of the rice ball when he talks about serious topics. He hasn't called it for a long time.

If Su Xiaoxiao hadn't just asked the name of the rice ball, the rice ball would not have responded.

"Arrived!" Comrade Onigiri stepped forward to salute the army.

"Do you know that there is a word called stepmother difficult?" Han Cheng asked.

Onigiri thought about it seriously and shook his head, "I don't know."

Han Cheng looked at his son's eyes and said word by word, "It means that your stepmother is hard to be a stepmother. Your mother disciplines you. If you take care of you, others think it's right. , No matter how good or bad she taught her, she will be gossiped behind her back. Han Jing, you know that your mother really raised you and your brother as her own son. In the eyes of outsiders, your current behavior does not represent yourself. , you are still a child, if you do something wrong, others won't blame you, but they will blame your parents for teaching you well, can you understand what your father means?"

Han Cheng's remarks no longer treat rice **** as children, but more like a conversation between two men.

This is the first time that the little rice ball had an equal relationship with his father. He didn't know how to use words to describe the shock in his heart, but after many years, Han had grown up to the point where no one called him rice ball anymore. Jing remembered what his father said to him today.

"Dad I understand, I won't take the initiative to hit people again, but Dad, if others hit me first, I'll still fight back!"

Han Cheng: "..." Who gave birth to this tiger son? Okay, it's not right to be beaten and not fight back. It's still young, so let's teach it slowly.

In fact, Han Cheng himself grew up with Onigiri, and only began to learn how to be a qualified father.

"It's time to eat! Wash your hands and eat!"

A soft and sweet voice came from the kitchen, and the father and son looked at each other.

The rice ball took his father's hand and whispered, "Dad, you married a daughter-in-law so well, I am very satisfied, and I will marry such a daughter-in-law when I grow up!"

Han Cheng: "..." The five-year-old kid actually thinks about marrying a daughter-in-law? Well, he is also very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

…
