Chapter 411: Stepmother
Xia Zhi listened to Xia Ai's story, and the whole person was stunned, and after a long while, he asked again, "Then ...... your mother now?" ”
Xia Aidang pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I was sent to a mental hospital by my father, and let the nurse take good care of it." ”
Xia Zhi nodded and didn't say anything, thinking that this arrangement was also good.
After talking about Yang Xinyi, Xia Aidang squirmed again, and said embarrassedly, "Sister, I talked about someone." ”
Xia Zhi looked Xia Aidang up and down in surprise, and said with a smile, "The speed is fast enough, the girl is also a worker in your factory?" ”
Xia Aidang nodded, "Her name is Xiaomei, she is a temporary worker in our factory, I will bring her to meet you another day." ”
Xia Zhi smiled, "Okay." ”
Xia Aiguo is not like Xia Aiguo, with a resolute face and a tough guy style of a soldier.
Xia Ai Dang looks a little white, his facial features are like Yang Xinyi, he is a handsome young man, and he is not surprised that Xia Zhi has fallen in love with his partner so quickly, after all, Xia Ai Dang has also reached the age of falling in love.
However, most of the people who fall in love in this era will eventually get married, after all, the leader said that falling in love without the premise of marriage is a hooligan.
As soon as Xia Zhi and Xia Aidang finished speaking, the little monkey ran into the hall with his two younger brothers, shouting, "Mom, I'm going to play with Xiaohuzi." ”
Xia Zhi said, "Have you made an appointment with Xiaohuzi?" Xiaohuzi's house is not far away? ”
The little monkey nodded again and again, "Mom, I have made an appointment with the little monkey, and when I come to my grandparents' house, I will go to see him and play with him, he must be waiting for me now." ”
Since it was agreed, it was not easy for the little monkey to breach the contract on the summer solstice, so he said, "The little tiger's house is not far away?" Mommy will send you there! ”
The little monkey grinned, "Not far away, their family lives in the family courtyard of the textile factory, and I know where that place is." ”
The textile factory is indeed not far from here, but it is more than ten minutes on foot, and the summer solstice is not at ease, so let the little monkey and the three children go, so he said, "I'll send you there." ”
Xia Aidang happened to be fine, and when he heard it, he said, "Sister, let me send them there, it just so happens that I am also a worker in a textile factory, so I am familiar with it." ”
Xia Zhi thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
Xia Aidang said, "Eldest sister, I'm their little uncle, what's the trouble here." Then he led the three little monkey brothers out.
Until noon, when it was time to eat, the little monkey came back from outside with a little bun and a little fish, and Xia Aidang walked behind, talking and laughing with the three children.
When Mrs. Gu saw it, she said, "Don't go back if you love the party, just eat here." ”
Xia Aidang said embarrassedly, "No, I'd better go home and eat." ”
Old Lady Gu smiled, "We are all relatives, don't be polite, I'm cooking for you, let's eat here." "Xia Ai Party stayed.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Aidang went home, and Gu Beicheng and Xia Zhi returned to the military compound with their four children.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car stopped at the door, Xia Zhi saw a figure squatting at the door, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Xiaobao.
Xiaobao is now a junior high school student, and he has grown quite tall, and he is at the shoulder of the summer solstice.
When Xia Zhi saw Xiaobao, he hurriedly opened the car door and asked, "You kid, why are you squatting at the door?" If the teacher is not there, you can go home first and find the teacher tomorrow. ”
After Xiaobao saw Xia Zhi, he had tears in his eyes, and he threw himself into Xia Zhi's arms aggrievedly and cried.
Xia Zhi was taken aback, "Xiaobao, what's wrong with you?" Why are you crying? Have you been wronged by something? Talk to the teacher. Gu Beicheng and the four children were also a little unclear, so Gu Beicheng walked to Xia Zhi's side and said, "Let's go home first." ”
Xia Zhi nodded, then took Xiaobao's hand and entered the house, and after sitting in the living room, Xiaobao wiped his tears and said to Xia Zhi, "Teacher, my father is going to marry me a stepmother, does he not like me anymore and doesn't want me anymore?" ”
Xiaobao said and wanted to cry again, looked at Xia Zhi, and said pitifully, "Teacher, if my father doesn't want me anymore, can I be your son?" ”
When Xia Zhi heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, looking at Xiaobao, whose eyes were full of red, and sighed in his heart.
Feng Jianjun is in the prime of life, he is a promising officer, he can endure so many years without remarrying, just for Xiaobao, I am afraid that the wife who remarries will not like Xiaobao and wronged Xiaobao.
has been dragging on not getting married, and until now, Xiaobao is 12 years old, half the eldest child, and Feng Jianjun has the idea of remarrying.
Xia Zhi took Xiaobao's hand and said, "Xiaobao, it's not that your father doesn't like you, it's just that your father also needs someone to accompany him." ”
Xiaobao said in a daze, "Teacher, I can accompany my father." ”
Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "That's different. ”
Xia Zhi said, "Xiaobao, when you grow up, you will get married, have your own children, and have your own family, but at that time your father was alone, don't you think your father is too lonely?" ”
Xiaobao immediately said, "Teacher, I don't want to get married, I want to stay with my father all the time." ”
Xia Zhi smiled and rubbed Xiaobao's head and said, "Silly boy, you are still young now, and when you are older, you will want to get married, the teacher can understand that you don't want your father to remarry, I'm afraid that your father won't like you, right?" ”
Xiaobao nodded, and Xia Zhi said again, "Are you still afraid that your stepmother will bully you?" ”
Xiaobao nodded again and said, "I heard from my classmates that my stepmother is bad and will beat people." ”
Summer Solstice said softly. "Some stepmothers are really bad, but we can't generalize, you can first contact the lover your father wants to marry, if you think she has a good temperament, you let your father marry her into the door, and then get along with her, if you think she has a bad character, then you can talk to your father directly, and then let your father make a decision, okay?"
Xiaobao lowered his head, although he was still a little reluctant, but he still nodded.
Seeing Xiaobao's pitiful appearance, Xia Zhi hugged Xiaobao in his arms and comforted, "Who introduced your father's wife to marry?" Where are the people? ”
Xiao Bao said, "I heard my father say that it is the sister of one of his comrades-in-arms. ”
Xia Zhi nodded, seeing that Xiaobao was still depressed, he comforted, "Don't worry, maybe your father is a good person when he marries this girl, right?" In this way, one more person will be able to care about you in the future. ”
Xiaobao nodded and said, "Teacher, I listen to you." ”
Xia Zhi smiled and rubbed Xiaobao's head, and soon there was a sound of talking outside the door, and then Gu Beicheng led Feng Jianjun into the door, Xiaobao saw Feng Jianjun, snorted lightly, lowered his head, and made a picture of I don't want to pay attention to you.
Feng Jianjun looked at Gu Beicheng and Xia Zhi embarrassedly, his expression was a little helpless, and he said, "Sister-in-law, Xiaobao has caused you trouble." ”
Xia Zhi said, "No, Xiaobao, this child is very well-behaved, he is just worried that your newly married wife is not good." ”
Feng Jianjun said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I was also afraid of this problem before, so for so many years, I have not had the idea of remarrying, this time it was also one of my comrades-in-arms who introduced her sister to me, I couldn't refuse, I went to contact the girl, and found that she was a very good person, so I moved the idea of remarrying." ”
Feng Jianjun lowered his head as he spoke, his face flushed, Xia Zhi chuckled, people in this era are more reserved and shy.
Xia Zhi saw it and said, "I have already told Xiaobao just now, he is willing to contact that girl first, if that girl is really good, he will agree." ”
Feng Jianjun was overjoyed, "Really? His eyes looked at Xiaobao, Xiaobao looked up at Feng Jianjun, lowered his head, and didn't speak, this is the default.
Feng Jianjun immediately said to Xia Zhi, "Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you so much, this kid will listen to you." ”
Xia Zhi said, "If that girl is really good, you can marry again, and I am happy for you, but if that girl is a traitor inside, Xiaobao will be wronged in the future, and I will not follow it." ”
For so many years, Xiaobao has almost regarded Xia Zhi as his own mother, and he has to come to Xia Zhi's house every day after school, say a few words to Xia Zhi before leaving, and Xia Zhi also cares a little more for Xiaobao.
If Feng Jianjun's wife dared to let Xiaobao be wronged, then Xia Zhi would definitely stand up and support Xiaobao.
When Feng Jianjun saw it, he reassured again and again, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not a fool, I know what to do." ”
Xia Zhi nodded, "That's good." ”
Then he looked at Xiaobao again, "Come home with your father, it's so late." ”
Xiaobao reluctantly said goodbye to Xia Zhi and left with Feng Jianjun.
After Xiaobao left, the three brothers of the little monkey gathered around Xia Zhi, and the little monkey sighed and said, "Mom, Brother Xiaobao is so pitiful." ”
Xiao Yu'er said quickly, "Mom, fortunately, you are my own mother and won't beat me, I'm so happy." ”
Xiao Baozi also nodded seriously.
Xia Zhi looked at his three baby sons with a smile, "Go wash your hands, mom go cook." ”
The three little guys laughed and lined up to wash their hands, Xia Zhi took Duoduo's hand and also went into the kitchen, washing Duoduo's hands first, and then she started cooking.
Gu Beicheng also rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, "I'll help you." ”
Xia Solstice pointed to a few carrots and potatoes on the ground and said, "Wash those first." ”
Gu Beicheng obediently picked up a basin on the table and washed the carrots and potatoes.
The husband and wife cooperated, and the meal was ready in a while.
After eating, Xia Zhi began to teach a few children to study, Gu Beicheng was also on the side, Xia Zhi taught mathematics, Chinese, and foreign languages, and Gu Beicheng sometimes taught children physics and chemistry.
Within two days, Xiaobao came to find Xia Zhi again, and Xia Zhi saw that the look of grievance and fear on Xiaobao's face had been replaced by joy, so he said, "Have you seen that girl?" ”
Xiaobao blushed, nodded embarrassedly, and then whispered, "She made me clothes and made me something to eat." ”
Xia Zhi smiled, "Good clothes and delicious food will buy you." ”
Xiaobao grinned and said, "Of course not. ”
Then Xiaobao stared at Xia Zhi for a while, and then said slowly, "Teacher, she is also beautiful, soft-spoken, and the same as a teacher, so I have agreed to let my father marry her." ”
Although Xiaobao was smiling, Xia Zhi felt a little sorry for him, and took Xiaobao's hand and said, "The teacher made your favorite red bean cake for Xiaobao, can you taste it?" ”
Xiaobao looked up at Xia Zhi and said, "The red bean cake made by the teacher is the best!" ”
Half a month later, Feng Jianjun got married, and when he got married, Xiaobao also followed Feng Jianjun back to his hometown.
Three days later, the family returned to the army and came to the compound, and Feng Jianjun brought his newly married daughter-in-law and Xiaobao to visit Xia Zhi.
Feng Jianjun's newly married daughter-in-law is called Caixia, a fair-skinned, beautiful-looking girl, with a long braid, and a soft voice when she speaks, and she is a little shy.
Xia Zhi saw that her eyebrows and eyes were soft and her eyes were clear, thinking that it should be a good one, she said enthusiastically, "Come into the house, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the mung bean porridge I cooked, sit down and drink a bowl." ”
Feng Jianjun hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother, we came today to thank you." ”
Feng Jianjun said and put a bag of candy on the table, the girl quickly stood up, blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother, I'm not thirsty." ”
Xia Zhi said, "The person who comes is a guest, look at your faces are red." With that, he went into the kitchen, scooped three bowls of mung bean porridge, and put white sugar in each bowl of mung bean porridge, and served a bowl to each of the three of them.
Xiaobao was not polite, took the bowl, drank it in one go, and then said to Xia Zhi with a smile, "Teacher, I still want to drink a bowl." ”
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Let's go and Sheng yourself." Xiaobao took the bowl and ran into the kitchen.
Feng Jianjun saw that Caixia was embarrassed to drink, so he said, "Since my sister-in-law brought it, let's drink it." ”
Caixia took a small sip, sweet, Caixia squinted, and then took a few big sips, drank up the mung bean porridge in the bowl, wiped her mouth for the last time, and said embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, the mung bean porridge you made is really delicious." ”
Xia Zhi smiled, "If it's delicious, drink an extra bowl." ”
Caixia waved her hand again and again, "It's enough, it's enough." ”
Feng Jianjun took Caixia to sit for a while, and then left, Xia Zhi's impression of Caixia was quite good, and he felt that she should be a good girl, Xiaobao stayed at Xia Zhi's house.
In the next week, every time Xiaobao came, Xia Solstice paid attention to his expression, and saw that Xiaobao had never shown a look of grievance, so he was relieved.
At the end of July, Gu's sister-in-law finally called Xia Zhi and said, "Xia Zhi, sister-in-law asked you about a good teacher, he heard Duoduo's situation and said that he was willing to meet Duoduo, but he had the conditions to accept apprentices." ”
Xia Zhi said, "Sister-in-law, you said, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, we will all agree." ”
Sister-in-law Gu hesitated for a moment before she said, "Teacher Zhao Wei was labeled as a stinky old nine a few years ago, and he has a pair of children who are afraid of causing trouble, so they have cut off contact with him. ”
"This old man has endured hardships in the labor camp for several years, and only returned to Beijing this year, after returning to the capital, his pair of children came to the door, this old man has a decisive personality, and did not let his children enter the door at all, and said that there will be no relationship between the two sides in the future, and the condition for him to accept the apprentice is to let the apprentice give him a pension and send him to the end."
Unlike modern times, the connection between the previous master and the apprentice is closer, and even some need the memory of talent, the master can not pass on the son, can only pass on to the apprentice, and the apprentice's relationship may be deeper than his own child, the apprentice to the master to send the old age, but also common.
To give an old man a pension, this is not a difficult task for the summer solstice.
First of all, Xia Zhi knows that in the future development of society, as long as there is money, nothing can be bought.
And the summer solstice is not short of money, as long as she has money, she can let the old man live in the best hospital, hire the best nurse for her, and let the old man enjoy his old age comfortably.
Of course, it is necessary to let Duoduo often go to sit with the old man, the old man is old and needs more care.
Xia Zhi thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, you tell the old man that we agreed, you ask him, see when we meet, and let him see this child Duoduo too." ”
Sister-in-law Gu heard this, "Okay, I'll call the old man in a while, and then I'll write back to you." ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for my sister-in-law."
"It's not troublesome, it's all family." Sister-in-law Gu hung up the phone after speaking.
An hour later, Sister-in-law Gu called again and said to Xia Zhi, "The old man said that you will take Duoduo to his house this weekend." ”
Then he said the old man's address, Xia Zhi took a pen, memorized it carefully, and said, "Okay, I will definitely lead Duoduo on the weekend." ”
