Stepmother - Chapter 296
In August 2005, Cancan received the admission notice from the Imperial College of Foreign Languages. At the end of August, Cancan went to the imperial capital to report, and Shen Ying brought Xuanxuan to pick him up.
Zhong Jianguo is now the commander, and the house assigned to him by the state looks like a small villa from the outside, and the inside is quite simple, similar to the Zhong family on Wengzhou Island.
October 1st, National Day, Cancan, who had been tanned, returned to the island, and the person who succeeded Zhong Jianguo also arrived. The National Day holiday ended, and Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi’s things were also packed up. Accompanied by guards and attendants, the old couple brought Cancan to the imperial capital.
In the early years, Zhong Jianguo promised that if the third generation had a granddaughter, he would help his sons raise children. With the birth of self-supporting son Zhong Weiwei, Erwa’s son Zhong Shuosuo and reborn son Qi Xuan, the six brothers did not want to make Dawa too proud, so they could only count on him.
Although we have entered the 21st century, the environment is still patriarchal. Dawa’s daughter-in-law saw that Dawa’s brothers had all given birth to a son, and felt that she had to have a son too. Later, when I learned that the Zhong family wanted a girl, I thought, isn’t it easy to have a daughter?
As Dawa’s six brothers gave birth to six sons, and everyone was counting on her to have a daughter, Dawa’s daughter-in-law and her family felt for the first time that having a daughter was better than having a son. As a result, when she was pregnant, a familiar doctor asked her if she wanted to know the gender of the child. She didn’t even think about it, and shook her head very simply, not wanting to know.
Fortunately, in the spring of 2001, Zhong Lingling was born. Dawa was very happy, and when she saw her daughter-in-law in the delivery room, she said that they would throw Zhong Lingling to Commander Zhong when they were three years old.
Nowadays, every household has a child, the eldest child thinks so, but his mother-in-law is not willing. Zhong Jianguo was on Wengzhou Island at the time, and the big family was in the imperial capital. They were far away, and the child was still young, so Zhong Jianguo did not compete with his in-laws for the child. However, last summer, when Xuanxuan went to Wengzhou Island, he took Lingling with him.
Zhong Lingling is not like her father’s daughter, she is a quiet, shy little girl. If it weren’t for the eyes, nose, and big baby’s identical, face and mouth very much like her mother, Zhong Jianguo couldn’t help but suspect that Zhong Lingling was adopted by the big baby at the orphanage.
Zhong Jianguo felt that girls should not be too aggressive or too introverted. A girl who is aggressive is not bad, and an introvert is easily bullied, so he asked Cancan and Yanyan to take her out to play.
I heard that Xuanxuan and Lingling were on Wengzhou Island, and they also sent their children there. Wei Wei, Shuo Shuo and Qi Xuan are a little older than Zhong Lingling, and when the three of them come, Zhong Lingling can be considered a company.
The result of running out with several little brothers every day is that one day in mid-August, Zhong Jianguo was resting at home and suddenly found that his little granddaughter had become a little black girl.
Zhong Jianguo was shocked and asked Song Zhaodi: “Why is Lingling so dark? What’s going on?”
Song Zhaodi: “The sun is shining outside.”
“Then don’t let her go out.” Zhong Jianguo blurted out.
Song Zhaodi glanced at him with a smile, and said slowly: “You asked Cancan to take your brothers and sisters out to play.”
Zhong Jianguo choked and detained several grandsons at home that day. However, the next day, when he went to the camp with his front feet, he dragged a few brothers out to play with his back feet.
Song Zhaodi felt that girls should be more aggressive, so she reminded a few grandchildren to come back when it was hot, no matter where they went to play. Because Cancan and Yanyan were following, no one dared to bully the little ones.
At the end of August, the eldest daughter came to pick up his daughter and waited at home for a long time before Lingling came back with mud all over her body, face and feet. The big baby almost didn’t recognize that the mud child was his daughter Zhong Lingling.
Dawa was shocked, and hurriedly asked Zhong Lingling: “Did you go to the beach?”
“There is only sand by the sea.” Song Zhaodi said.
Dawa thought: “That’s right. Where did you get all this?” He looked up, “Qi Xuan, why is your hand also mud? What are you playing?”
“Playing with mud.” Cancan walked in, holding two clay bowls in his hand, “This is what she and Qi Xuan kneaded. They said that it was dried on the stove. Eat with this bowl.”
Zhong Dawa sighed: “Mother, can I ask, how do they know that the bowls made of mud can be used for meals after drying?”
“The two of them watched a pottery making session with me a few days ago.” Song Zhaodi said, “If you think I have taught your daughter badly, don’t ask me and your dad to give it to you in the future. Take the kids.”
The big baby quickly said: “No, no. I know pottery at the age of three, and the future is bright. I will continue next year.” The next day, Lingling and his nephews were brought back to the imperial capital.
Speaking of which, Sanwa and Dawa are now senior officers, and their children are given special care. In October 2005, Zhong Jianguo and Song Zhaodi went to the imperial capital, and Sanwa and Dawa transferred Xuanxuan and Lingling to the closest and best school to the cadre rest center.
After a few days, Zi Li also sent Wei Wei over. He didn’t show up himself, he just said to the leader that he had no time to take care of the children and hoped that his parents would take care of him. His unit came forward and sent Weiwei to the school where Xuanxuan was studying.
October 30th, Sunday, Qi Xuan called his grandmother and heard the voices of Xuanxuan, Lingling and Weiwei, and learned that the three of them were at their grandparents’ house, and they were also making trouble. to go.
Qi Xuan had a headache and sent him to the imperial capital. Regenerating household registration is in the imperial capital, even if Qi Xuan does not go now, he will have to go to the imperial capital to attend high school and take the college entrance examination in the imperial capital in the future.
The day after Qi Xuan arrived at his grandma’s house, he called Erwa’s son Shuo Shuo to show off. He is now at his grandmother’s house, with his sister and brother.
Erwa is now a well-known entrepreneur and a big taxpayer. She has sponsored research institutes and donated to build teaching buildings. The factory receives a batch of veterans every year, and they take great care of him. He just told his friends when he was having dinner that the child wanted to go to the imperial capital to go to school, and someone helped him do it the next day.
At the end of October, there were five more children in the single-family courtyard that originally consisted of only the old couple, a few guards and attendants.
Zhong Jianguo thought they were making trouble, but he promised himself that if the third generation had a granddaughter, he would help bring the grandson. He could go back on it, but when he thought of the family gathering together every year, the big baby’s mouth kept babbling, Zhong Jianguo asked Song Zhaodi: “How can we make them quieter?”
“It can’t be quiet.” Song Zhaodi said with a pause, “Actually, it’s not impossible.”
Nowadays, children are not short of food, drink, or toys. Zhong Jianguo has been pondering for several days and has not figured out how to make the child quiet. Hearing Song Zhaodi say this, he hurriedly asked: “Come on. “
“Games.” Song Zhaodi said, “Online games are played with computers.”
Zhong Jianguo resolutely disagreed: “No, no, Lao Liang next door to me said that his grandson is addicted to games and doesn’t eat, just like he is addicted.”
“Do you believe me?” Song Zhaodi asked.
Zhong Jianguo said without hesitation: “Of course!”
“Then do as I say?” Song Zhaodi asked.
Zhong Jianguo worried: “Will some daughters-in-law complain about us?”
“That’s right, they took the child away, and we are clean.” Song Zhaodi said, “Don’t you think they are noisy?”
Zhong Jianguo glanced outside, and the five children who were making a snowman outside hesitated for a moment: “Okay. I’ll listen to you.”
A week later, on the evening of December 12, Erwa brought six computers and put them in the empty room on the first floor.
Zhong Xuanxuan counted the number of people: “Second uncle, we only have five people, how can you buy six computers?”
“One belongs to your grandma.” Erwa said, “From next Saturday, grandma will teach you to play games.”
Zhong Xuanxuan widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Grandma still plays games?!”
“Your grandma knows a lot.” Erwa turned to his son, “Shuo Shuo, are you happy at grandma’s house?”
The child grinned and said, “Happy.”
“Then you listen to grandma and grandpa.” Erwa glanced at several nephews and nieces, “If you don’t obey, I will send you home.”
Several children said in unison: “We are obedient.”
“These computers look better than the ones that Zhenxing bought for Cancan, a lot of money?” Zhong Jianguo asked after looking at the computers.
Song Zhaodi: “Electrical appliances are getting cheaper and cheaper now, and they are bought abroad, which is only 2,000 yuan.”
“Two thousand?” Zhong Jianguo shook his head and smiled, “Two thousand dollars is about the same.” After a pause, he said, “I was busy with work before, and I don’t know the prices outside, you can take a few thousand I don’t believe it and I don’t know how much. I’ve been reading newspapers and TV every day for the past six months, trying to deceive me? Song Zhaodi, I’m not that easy to deceive.”
Er Wa said with a smile: “Dad is not easy to deceive, it’s getting better and better.”
“Of course.” Zhong Jianguo blurted out, realizing that something was wrong, “Are you coaxing Lao Tzu to play?!”
Erwa hurriedly said: “I dare not, I dare not. Mother, you have used a Cancan computer, do you know how to use it? Then I will not teach you, I will leave, never leave again. I won’t be able to catch the plane.”
“Get busy.” Song Zhaodi waved at him, told the attendant to throw out the cardboard box, and said to a few grandchildren, “Let’s go to the living room for a meeting.”
Lingling grabbed Song Zhaodi’s hand and said in a milky voice, “Grandma, what’s the meeting?”
Song Zhaodi pointed at the sofa: “You sit across from each other, and sit in line according to your age.” And Zhong Jianguo sat across from several children, “Now there is a computer at home, grandma taught you to play games, but there is a The prerequisite is that you can play for a while when you come back from school, and you must do your homework after dinner.”
The oldest, but not yet ten years old, Zhong Xuanxuan, thought without hesitation: “Okay.”
“Don’t promise to be so straightforward.” Song Zhaodi said, “It’s easy to be addicted to playing games. Once you are disobedient, I will ask your parents to take you home.”
Zhong Weiwei hurriedly said, “I’m not going home.”
Busy with independent work, after Wei Wei was born, Xiao Yun’s mother and nanny took care of him. Weiwei was a picky eater, and Pei Yuling told him that he should not be picky eaters, but to have a balanced diet. Weiwei said that he was confused and thought his grandma was really annoying.
Wei Wei came to his grandfather’s house, he picked meat to eat, and Song Zhaodi told him that he could not **** without eating vegetables. Weiwei didn’t believe it, and Song Zhaodi didn’t talk nonsense to him.
Drinking milk as water, eating meat as food, after three days, Wei Wei went to the toilet, but she couldn’t poop, her **** hurt, and her tears fell one by one, Song Zhaodi asked him if he would dare Don’t be picky eaters.
Wei Wei said he didn’t dare.
Children are forgetful. As I said, forget it after playing for a while, and continue to be picky eaters when eating. Song Zhaodi told him again that picky eaters can’t pull shit. Weiwei suddenly felt a burning pain in her buttocks, and hurriedly drank soup and vegetables.
Lingling was naughty, Song Zhaodi said that if she didn’t count, several grandchildren were not allowed to play with her. She was boring to play alone, and within five minutes, she was quiet. She could roll around and cry to go home. However, the family is more strict than Song Zhaodi. Although the little girl is not big, she can feel that she is very comfortable at grandma’s house.
In Zhong’s house, Song Zhaodi has the final say. Song Zhaodi said that they were not allowed to play, and no one dared to help them. As a result, several children are lawless at home, and they are very good with their grandparents.
After dinner and homework, Song Zhaodi asked the nanny to wash their faces and feet, then took them to the computer room, told them to put on goggles, and started teaching them to play games.
The computer comes with mini games, Song Zhaodi will teach them to play the easiest first.
Several children were curious about computers. That night, Song Zhaodi told them to go to bed, but Qi Xuan and Zhong Shuosuo were reluctant. Zhong Jianguo didn’t allow Song Zhaodi to speak, so he said, “I’ll play all night today, and I’ll take you home early tomorrow, okay?”
The two children hurriedly jumped off the chairs and said in unison, “No way!”
“If you can’t, then go to bed!” Zhong Jianguo’s voice fell, and the two children ran to the stairs.
Song Zhaodi asked the guard to lock the door.
Zhong Jianguo asked: “Afraid they will come back?”
Zhong Jianguo thought about it: “Then let’s go up.”
The old couple pretended to be asleep and turned off the lights in the room. But he opened the door a crack and leaned over the crack to look out. After about ten minutes, Zhong Shuosuo and Qi Xuan went down. After a while, the two came back downcast.
Song Zhaodi closed the door tightly, turned on the light and said, “I’m right.”
Zhong Jianguo nodded.
“Once they get into the habit of playing one or two hours a day, and then use other games to attract them, they won’t be so addicted.” Song Zhaodi said.
Zhong Jianguo was curious: “What other game?”
“At home, I think of mahjong and chess.” Song Zhaodi said, “However, I plan to take them to the indoor playground on Saturday, then to the ski resort, then to the shooting gallery, and then to horseback riding. .”
Zhong Jianguo’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, “Are there any adults playing?”
Song Zhaodi froze for a moment, but did not react, seeing him full of hope. He laughed dumbly: “I don’t know, let’s go over on Saturday morning to see.”
In the evening of December 15th, Cancan, who was studying in the imperial capital, came back and planned to come to his grandmother’s house to improve the food. Seeing that his grandparents’ house had more computers, his grandmother was teaching a few younger brothers. My sister plays games, and no one cares about him.
Cancan exited, and couldn’t help whispering to the guard: “My grandma can play better than us young people.”
Cancan is speechless: “This old couple, no wonder I used to think my dad and the others were annoying. By the way, there is no event tomorrow?”
“Your grandparents will go to the racecourse tomorrow morning and the shooting gallery in the afternoon.” The guard glanced towards the kitchen, “Eat at the western restaurant at noon.”
Cancan opened his mouth: “My God, this, this life is richer than me.”
“I went to the amusement park on Sunday afternoon, but I didn’t eat at home at noon, I went to eat roast duck.” The guard didn’t think it was exciting enough, and continued, “Your grandfather said that he had eaten roast duck many times before. But I’ve never eaten in the store, I want to visit the roast duck restaurant. Tonight—”
Cancan hurriedly interrupted him: “There’s more at night?!”
