Chapter 517 Giving birth to a fool
Today it was Wei Dajinzi who was cooking. She put her head out and took the basin with a smile, and said, "Lele, wait a moment, Dajinzi will free up the basin for you."
As she spoke, she poured the noodles into her own coarse porcelain basin, and then poured half a basin of mushroom and winter melon stewed with vermicelli into it. She stir-fried it with meat oil. All the meaty flavor was absorbed by the mushrooms and vermicelli, and the taste was very fragrant.
She picked up a few more browned and fragrant corn pot stickers, and then handed them back.
Zhong Kangle was stunned for a moment and was too embarrassed to stretch out his hand.
“Take it,” Wei Dajinzi said with a smile, “We are all members of our own family, so you come and go, what’s the point of being embarrassed?
Besides, when you came here, did your mother tell you anything? "
?He shook his head, took it with a smile, thanked shyly, and quickly went home with the basin in his arms.
?Zhong Kangle’s face was still flushed, and he handed the thing to Di’s mother. As expected, the latter had no reaction.
"Your grandma can cook, right? I''ll know who it is as soon as I smell it," she smiled as she arranged the bowls and chopsticks and invited him to eat.
?Zhong Kangle deliberately ate less to save food for Di’s mother.
But when Di Mu came up, she gave him a bowl of noodles and said, "Put it in after you''ve finished eating. I still have some on the plate that haven''t been put into the pot yet, so I''m afraid it''ll be lumpy."
“Mom, it’s too much, I can’t eat it.” He looked at it visually and found that the pot was at least as big as two or three coarse porcelain bowls.
"You can eat as much as you can. Your brother Liangzi has to eat two pots," Di''s mother said with a smile: "You are growing up now, so don''t save food with your mother. The program team will give you 200 yuan for food. Don''t worry about money.
If you miss these few years, you will not grow taller no matter how much you eat. "
?Zhong Kangle smiled and did not give in anymore, and began to eat hard.
?However, he had not had enough to eat for a long time, and his stomach was so hungry that he could not hold much at once, so he could barely eat a bowl. He looked at the noodles in the bowl with confusion.
"It''s okay. Didn''t you drink the soup in the bowl first? There is no water, so I rolled the dough with my hands and rinsed it with boiling water and put some toppings on it. It still tastes good." Mother Di said with a smile.
Zhong Kangle continued to take over the task of washing the pots and dishes. When he was done, he followed Di''s mother to play next door.
He hasn’t played much with children of the same age since he was nine years old. He went a little crazy for a while, and his stomach was full of food.
After returning home, Di’s mother made two cups of milk powder, one for each of them, and she smiled and said that she had benefited from him.
Zhong Kangle pursed his lips and smiled, tasting it in small sips. The warm milk tasted mellow and was a rare delicacy among the food he had come into contact with in his life.
?Happiness overflowed for a moment. His eyes were slightly wet, and he stared at Di''s mother closely, trying to ingrain her smile into his mind.
?This is what a mother is like, so gentle and loving.
When he woke up in the morning, he actually ate a bowl and a half of the porcelain bowl and added an egg.
After dinner, Di’s mother took him and the Wei family to ride the village’s ox cart to go to the market.
?There were many people at the gathering, and everyone’s faces were filled with smiles, as if they had been illuminated by the winter sun. They were inexplicably contagious, and happiness and joy spread among everyone.
Di’s mother bought a lot of things, including apples, oranges, meat, bean sprouts, and even notebooks, pens and erasers!
Zhong Kangle''s heart was beating fast and he endured it for a long time. Even though Di''s mother bought a bunch of candied haws for each child, he was still thinking about it. Finally, while chewing the candies and burning them, he asked in a low voice: "Mother "You just bought a notebook, pen and eraser?"
Di''s mother said, "I thought you were about the same age as Liangzi, so you should also be in junior high school, right? There are pens, rulers and other things at home. I use these quickly, so I bought one for you."
?Zhong Kangle’s face was half happy and half uneasy.
He has not been to school since he entered the second grade at the age of nine.
Usually, he just sticks to matchboxes or medicine bags at home. If he doesn’t have a certain amount, he can’t even eat. How can he have time to look for opportunities to study?
Four years, if he hadn''t worked **** the numb machine to turn over and recite what he had learned, he would have forgotten everything by now. Even so, he could only remember one-third of the things.
He lowered his head and explained his situation in a low voice, "Mom, so, I, I only went to the second grade, and I haven''t touched a textbook for several years."
Di’s mother’s expression turned ugly after hearing this, “Your mother is so blessed that she doesn’t even know how to cherish it!”
After speaking, a hint of pain flashed in her eyes.
Obviously she worked so hard to live, but the man was away from home all year round and died young. She had only depended on Liangzi for so many years.
?Others envied her that she had no worries about food and clothing, had money in her hands, and lived in a brick house, but little did they know that she envied other people''s homes that were noisy and still warm, and that there was nothing happier than reunion.
Zhong Kangle nodded and said, "I thought that if I followed my mother, I could persuade her to come back. But my mother is too attached to the city, and she would be very willing to be a stepmother.
?But she didn’t allow me to look for my father, for fear that others would poke her spine.
It’s just that it’s her home, not mine!
This time, if my father comes back without a new family, I will stay with him. "
Di''s mother glanced at Zhong Kangle, trying to find someone''s shadow on his face, "Your father, your father probably doesn''t marry a wife and have children. I heard that he has a deep affection for your mother.
I am afraid that he will never find another person in his life who can make him feel his heart and soul. "
Zhong Kangle was also worried: "My mother really doesn''t deserve this from my father."
After returning home, Di’s mother dug out all Di Guoliang’s primary school textbooks.
?Zhong Kangle wants to study on his own first, and then go to school to test his level. He can''t just sit in the second grade class with a group of eight or nine-year-olds as a thirteen-year-old, right?
Otherwise, how old will it be when he reads out the book? He couldn''t help but count on his fingers. Since he had the opportunity to study, he would definitely go to college!
Four years of elementary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school and four years of college. The good guy has a total of fourteen years. He was twenty-seven years old at that time. His peers had been working for five or six years, were getting married and had children, and their children knew how to fight. Soy sauce!
Zhong Kangle had a certain foundation, flipped through Di Guoliang''s textbooks and exercise books, and studied seriously. He had the experience of being trapped in a big room, and he longed for the outside world even more, so he suppressed his energy and turned it into motivation to study, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.
Di''s mother looked at it and was relieved for a while, "Liangzi, if you have two cents to work for, you can''t be stupid enough to sign for me with failing papers again and again.
How come my mother, who is so smart, gave birth to a fool?
?His father is not stupid, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to let a fool be the battalion commander in the army. "
Zhong Kangle said with a smile: "Yes, mother, you are so smart, Brother Liangzi must be smart too, but not necessarily in studies."
