Zhaoshi also welcomes the child Lianzhou from the bottom of his heart.Although this child is a thorn planted by his elder brother in the sister-in-law's heart.But since his father passed away, the elder sister Zhaoquan also went to Wuhan with her brother-in-law, and the family became more and more lifeless.His father has been ill in bed for several years, and the family business has been maintained simply, without much profit.The sister-in-law has just taken over, and everything is complicated, and there are still more than a dozen people in the family who have to worry about food and clothing.Zhaoshi, Zhenghai and Huanzhu are also cautious at home every day, for fear that Jingxian will be unhappy somewhere and will be taught a lesson.The lotus boat is bright and lively, it is a beam of light that illuminates the family, and makes all the people in the family who are hanging on their hearts gradually relax a lot.The child chirped and quacked every day, talking so much and densely that Zhaoshi laughed secretly. Could it be that the child said all the things Huanzhu couldn't say?It is his childish words that can make Jingxian smile every day. When Jingxian is in a better mood, the family members are relieved.

Zhaoshi decided to go to the entrance of the elementary school after school to see if there were any pictorials that children liked and buy two copies for Lianzhou, and took Huanzhu and Zhenghai home by the way.

After buying the pictorial, he waited at the school gate, and only when most of the children in the school had dispersed did he see Zhenghai coming out holding Huanzhu's hand.Huanzhu's eyes were red, as if he had cried, Zhenghai's face was a little dirty, and his collar was crooked.Zhaoshi quickly ran over to grab the two people and asked, "Is someone bullying Huanzhu?" Huanzhu shook his head and pointed at Zhenghai.Zhao Shixin was startled, could it be that Zhenghai bullied Huanzhu?After thinking about it, this is impossible, and the two came out holding hands.He stared at Zhenghai, "Did you fight with someone?" Zhenghai lowered his head, Huanzhu was beside him anxious to explain something, Zhaoshi rubbed their heads, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

At the door of the house, Zhaoshi greeted the two children to get off the car, Zhenghai looked at him and whispered, "Second Master, don't tell my father." Zhaoshi nodded in agreement.When the three of them entered the house, they were entangled by Lianzhou. The little guy waited so hard for someone to come back to play with him, how could he let him go so easily.Zhaoshi knelt down and asked Lianzhou, "Did you see Uncle Sun?" Lianzhou's small machine gun rang out, "Uncle Sun is not at home, and went out with mother. Mother said she would not come back for dinner tonight, so she asked auntie to give Lian Zhou cooks deep-fried shrimp, and Lianzhou loves deep-fried shrimp.” Zhaoshi touched his little face and said, “Lianzhou is so good, my second uncle gave Lianzhou two pictorials.” Lianzhou knew Sister Huanzhu Knowing how to draw, he took the pictorial and said happily, "Thank you second uncle, sister, sister, quickly draw me the little people on it." Huanzhu pulled his younger brother, looked at second uncle and Zhenghai worriedly, Shi knew that she was worried that he would blame Zhenghai, so he smiled, "You can rest assured and paint for your brother." After speaking, he took Zhenghai to the study.

In the study, Zhenghai told Zhaoshi that the teacher asked him to be the prefect, and some students refused to accept it. The leading student also had some powerful family members. He gathered a few children and surrounded him and Huanzhu, saying that he They are servants of the Shen family and cannot study with them.Zhenghai didn't intend to talk to these people at first, Huanzhu was anxious to defend him, but couldn't speak again, and burst into tears.Those children laughed at her, "Your dumb lady is crying, you go over and serve her, or the Shen family won't give you food." The children started fighting like this.

Zhenghai looked up at Zhaoshi with a small face, "Second Master, when Miss Huanzhu was not in school, I went to school. I didn't go to serve her. My father said he could provide me with a good school." The grandma said that she asked me to study with Ms. Huanzhu because she saw that my grades were No.1, so that if she didn’t understand, I could tell her.” Zhaoshi comforted him: “ That's right, you are good at reading, so I let you teach Huanzhu. Those bad boys can't read well, so they didn't have a chance to play with Huanzhu. That's why Huanzhu can't speak, others don't understand her You have known her since you were a child, and you are smart, so you can definitely understand her." Zhenghai is also a child, and he cheered up after a few compliments, "Huanzhu doesn't need to talk, I can tell what she means by blinking her eyes. Those brats They are all idiots, so Huanzhu doesn't want to play with them. But second master, you still don't tell my father what happened today." Zhaoshi asked back, "Tell your father what you are afraid of. Didn't you stand up for Huanzhu today? Why don't you Lost in the fight, let others bully Huanzhu?" Zheng Hai lowered his head, "My father won't let me fight, saying that if I cause trouble in school, he will skin me and won't let me go to school again." Then I grinned again "I didn't lose. I can't lose anything to others. They were older than me and they didn't hit me. Just got kicked in the leg by a bad boy, maybe green. However, I always I punched that kid in the stomach, and he returned the blow, and the weak defeated the strong." Zhaoshi flicked his forehead, "I need two more people. Seeing you still defeat the strong with the weak, I think both sides will suffer. Besides, If that kid has a stomachache when he goes home, tell his parents that it was you who made the call, and they will come to ask you and ask you to pay for the medical expenses, let’s see how you keep it from your father.”

Zheng Hai panicked, not knowing how to respond.Zhaoshi took a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" from the bookshelf, "Go back and think about what it means to subdue the enemy without fighting. Think about any better ways to deal with it. If you come up with it, let me know."

At night, Zhaoshi paced the living room, thinking about how to tell his sister-in-law about him.Xiaozhen told Jingxian: "I see that the second master seems to have something on his mind and looks restless all the time. Do you want to ask me?" Jingxian sighed, "Zhaoshi has such a temperament, I really don't know who he looks like, Everyone in the Shen family can’t keep their mouths open.” Then he called Zhaoshi in and asked him, “Do you have something to say?”

Zhaoshi was stunned, wondering how his sister-in-law could see through his mind.Jingxian laughed at him, "I've been fidgeting all night, even Xiaozhen can see that you have something on your mind, isn't there something you want to say but dare not say?" Zhaoshi looked up at Xiaozhen, swallowed, Gather up the courage to say: "Yes. I should have said it earlier, but now" Jingxian doesn't understand, "It's fine if I said it earlier, but what's the matter now? Tell me clearly."

"Yes. I wanted to ask my sister-in-law for a favor. I wanted my sister-in-law to recognize Zhenghai as her adopted son. You know that he is a sensible child. Now that he goes to school with Huanzhu, it is inevitable that some people gossip in school. Although they are all A child's silly words, but Zheng Hai's child is strong, and if he talks too much, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable. Now, now that Lian Zhou is here, I am not ashamed to mention this to my sister-in-law. "

Jingxian asked him, "According to what you mean, if I recognize him as my adopted son, no one in the school will gossip anymore. Besides, if there is no Lianzhou at home, I can recognize this son. I have a son now." Is it superfluous to recognize it again?" Zhaoshi tilted his head and thought for a while, and felt that what the sister-in-law said had some deep meaning, but he couldn't figure out what the meaning was for a while, and he couldn't figure out what kind of attitude the sister-in-law had on this matter.

Jingxian smiled and watched him think, but did not speak.After a while, as if she just remembered something, she said to Xiaozhen: "Tomorrow, I will change the two dining tables in the dining room and replace them with a large Western dining table. Let the family sit at the same table for dinner. Now that the master has passed away, there is no need to eat." Talking about so many rules, you don't have to wait on the side, let's eat together." Xiaozhen evaded, "That's not in compliance with the rules." Even though he said so, his eyes were full of joy.Jingxian waved her hand, "The rules are not made by people. You go to the kitchen and help me cook some sour bamboo shoot soup, and I drank a couple of drinks at night. I'm not very comfortable at the moment."

Hearing what the sister-in-law said, Zhaoshi was about to stand up and say goodbye, but Jingxian held him back, watched Xiaozhen go out, then turned her head and asked again: "You said that it is a good thing or a bad thing for Xiaozhen to eat with us?" Zhaoshi Saying "Naturally it's a good thing" Jingxian continued, "Yes, in your opinion, it must be a good thing for her. But if you look at it tomorrow, Xiaozhen will definitely not be able to eat well. If I told her just now, Let her go out to marry, guess what? She must be terrified, thinking that I have rejected her, and now she must be kneeling on the ground crying and begging me not to drive her away. Even if it is a good thing for her, You have to take your time, as long as she can accept it. What you just said is also a good thing for Zhenghai. But, have you ever thought about it, if I recognize Zhenghai as my adopted son, how will you let Butler Sun behave himself? Where? The son eats at the seat, and the old man waits on the bottom? Besides, if you really recognize this adopted son, it would be inconvenient without a lotus boat, but now it is convenient to have a lotus boat. Sun Butler, who is in his 40s, has only such a son, If I admit it, can his husband and wife not worry about their son's birth to them? Now that I have a lotus boat, they must be at ease. The good things in this world are really good if they are done well." Zhaoshi listened After reading this, he suddenly felt clear-sighted, and truly admired Jingxian, nodded and replied: "What sister-in-law said is that Zhaoshi has been taught."

The next day, Xiaozhen sent someone to move a western dining table.In the dining room of the Shen mansion, there were originally two Eight Immortals tables separated by a screen. When the master and wife of the Shen family were still there, outside the screen, Mr. Shen brought his two sons, Zhaosong Zhaoshi, to eat at the same table, and inside, Mrs. Shen brought his two sons. Follow Zhaoquan and Jingxian.Now the screen has been removed and a Western-style dining table has been replaced, where the whole family sits together.Jingxian sat at the top, with Zhaoshi and Lianzhou on one side, and Huanzhu and Xiaozhen on the other.Lianzhou and Huanzhu wanted to ask Zhenghai to sit together, Zhaoshi remembered what his sister-in-law said, and waved to the two children.Xiaozhen was really restless, serving vegetables for Jingxian and soup for Huanzhu.Jingxian smiled: "Sit down quickly, you haven't eaten two bites of your own food, and you are afraid that others will not be full." Xiaozhen lowered her head and smiled: "How embarrassing." Zhaoshi advised her, "After a long time, you will get used to it." , This can be regarded as our family’s New Culture Movement.” Xiaozhen stared and asked: “What movement? What does it mean?” Zhaoshi explained seriously: “It is to advocate a new way of life, such as class equality, equality between men and women, It’s like reading the vernacular.” Xiaozhen was a little puzzled: “Equality? What is the law of equality? What is the vernacular?” Zhaoshi pointed to the place where the screen used to be in the restaurant and said: “Remove the screen and men and women eat at the same table. Men and women are equal, you and your sister-in-law also eat at the same table, this is class equality. Vernacular, that is, the article does not have to pay attention to rhyme, antithesis, but has something to say, so that it is easy for people to understand."

Xiaozhen was fascinated by listening, staring at Zhaoshi intently, and then asked: "What else?" Seeing that Xiaozhen was fascinated by listening, Zhaoshi also regained his energy, holding up his chopsticks and said: "Also, such as free love~ Before she could say the word love, she was interrupted by Jingxian: "You don't talk when you eat, you don't talk when you sleep, how can there be such words when eating." The two immediately shut up and lowered their heads to pick the rice in the bowl.

Lianzhou picked out all the carrots in the bowl and threw them on the table, refusing to eat them. Zhaoshi picked them up and wanted to eat them for him——my sister-in-law taught him to "think about hard-won porridge and a meal", so the carrots dropped on the table Rice grains will be picked up and eaten, not wasted.Jingxian grabbed Zhaoshi's sleeve, looked at Lianzhou and said, "Lianzhou, good boy, eat carrots, eat carrots to gain strength and grow fast." Lianzhou pouted, "Mom, I don't eat carrots. " Zhaoshi wanted to intercede for Lianzhou, but seeing his sister-in-law's face became serious, he didn't dare to speak more, so he heard her sister-in-law say: "Zhaoshi, how did you cure the problem of not eating wax gourd when you were young?" Zhaoshi blushed "Sister-in-law, Lianzhou is still young." Jingxian didn't answer the question, so Zhaoshi had to stand up, go to the kitchen to get a plate, put all the carrots in the dish in front of Lianzhou and said, "Eat them all, don't eat them." Don't leave." Ever since Lianzhou came to Shen's house, Jingxian loved him in every possible way, but she had never seen such a battle, tears fell down, first sobbing softly, and then crying loudly.Zhaoshi looked at his sister-in-law with some embarrassment, but Jingxian was unmoved, "It's useless to cry, you can't leave until you finish eating, just kneel when you sit and don't eat, and get up after eating." After finishing speaking, she put down her chopsticks and left the restaurant. Huanzhu and Xiaozhen saw that Jingxian was angry, and also slipped away quietly.Zhaoshi had no choice but to hug Lianzhou, who was out of breath from crying, and let him kneel on the chair and look at the plate of carrots in front of him.

Not long after, Zhaoshi knocked on the door to see Jingxian, and the sister-in-law asked him, "Come to intercede with Lianzhou?" Zhaoshi smiled, "No, Lianzhou has already eaten all the carrots, and went to play with Huanzhu." Jing Xian nodded, "Lian Zhou is a smart kid, he can go downhill the most. It's not like your stubborn temper when you were a child, kneeling in the restaurant for a day, refusing to touch the plate of winter melon without eating three meals. If you can be like him, eat a bite early, and you will suffer less." Zhaoshi laughed together, "Then sister-in-law cured the disease?" After finishing speaking, he handed a newspaper to Jing Xian, "Sister-in-law, today Have you read the newspaper?" Jingxian nodded.
