Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

The news of Baolin's victory spread quickly back to China. The video was edited and broadcast on major TV stations.

So the footage of Zhang Xiuhua's family watching the game was also broadcast.

Immediately, a reporter wanted to interview the family.

Zhuzhu received the call and discussed it with her family. Zhang Xiuhua agreed immediately, "You must go. Ergou said that Baolin wanted to be a commentator for a TV station after he retired. It's a good opportunity for her to get familiar with the interview process and learn how to speak so that she can express her ideas concisely and clearly."

Baolin nodded, "Okay."

It doesn't matter to other people in the family, they can go or not.

In the end, all eight members of the family appeared on TV.

When the reporter arrived at her hometown in Northeast China, Zhang Xiuhua and others started to put on makeup, and they had to make themselves look beautiful and not ugly.

She has a good foundation and changed her hairstyle, which is elegant and generous. Baolin has been on TV before and was well received this time. It was just that Yaoyao was a little uncomfortable.

Yaoyao looks a bit dull and she seems listless, so Zhuzhu gave her an elite makeup look, and put on a white suit jacket and trousers to make her look mature and steady. She also gave her a pair of plain glasses to make her look more artistic.

Yaoyao was speechless, "I'm not nearsighted, why should I wear glasses? This is so awkward!"

She just doesn't like the heavy feeling of glasses hanging on her nose, so she has always taken good care of her eyes. Why is she asked to wear them during this interview?

"You look good dressed like this. You look like a doctor. A very cultured doctor." Zhuzhu liked her more and more. After all, she was her sister, so she was beautiful.

Baolin pinched his chin and said, "You know what, you look really good in this outfit."

When Yaoyao came out after changing into this outfit, everyone in the family looked at her in shock.

Yaoyao usually likes to dress casually, always wearing sneakers, shirts and casual pants, but today she wore a suit and even let her hair down.

Youcai looked at Yaoyao and said, "You know what, clothes make the man. If you keep dressing like this, there will be many men chasing after you soon. Then you will no longer be single."

Yaoyao pouted in disdain, "Forget it! That would delay my work."

She looked at herself in the glasses and said, "This is such a waste of time. It took me three hours to make this look. I could have done something else with this time!"

She looked at Zhuzhu and shook her head. You know, Zhuzhu has good grades, but she spends her time on dressing up. Her sister is wasting her talent. However, everyone has their own aspirations. Zhuzhu likes acting, so she can't say anything.

"Do you want to put on makeup?" Zhuzhu suggested kindly.

When these words came out, Youcai stared, "Men can also put on makeup?"

"Of course. Do you think male actors don't need to put on makeup? They have to put on makeup too." Zhuzhu took out her makeup bag and was about to open it. "Do you want to put on makeup?"

Youcai immediately jumped up and down, afraid that she would get close to him, and took several steps back, "No need! I'm a grown man, and if I put on makeup, people will laugh at me! I'm a chef, and if I put powder on my face, who will dare to eat the food I cook in the future?! Don't hurt me!"

Ergou didn't want it either, "I won't be on TV, it's a waste. Let Ji Donghua take it?"

Jidong wanted to punch him, but seeing his sister was ready to strike, he quickly dodged, "I don't need it! I have thick eyebrows, so I don't need to put on makeup."

Zhuzhu looked at him carefully. Jidong looked a bit like Zhang Xiuhua, a typical handsome man, so she didn't insist.

After the interview, the TV station aired it quickly.

The show began with a photo of Zhang Xiuhua's family of eight and an introduction to each person's identity.

Knowing that Zhang Xiuhua's husband is a retired soldier, the people's favorable impression of her has increased rapidly. You know, it is very hard for a military wife, especially for a military wife who cannot accompany the army, it is even more great. It is hard for one person to take care of six children.

"It's a reconstituted family. The woman has three children, and the man has three. I always thought the woman had all three, but it turns out one of them is a nephew."

"She raised her nephew as her own son. She also paid for her to study abroad. Zhang Xiuhua is indeed a good person."

"Look at these six children. Five of them are college students and one is an Olympic champion. How did they train them?"

Not only were they curious, but the host was also curious. The next step was to interview Zhang Xiuhua about her educational methods.

Zhang Xiuhua shared her own educational philosophy.

"Every child has a different situation. Jidong is very smart. He has a photographic memory since he was young. He skipped two grades in high school and was admitted to Tsinghua University. My way of educating him is to believe in him and let him try more things he likes."

She looked at Youcai and said, "This kid likes to be a chef, so I will teach him how to cook various dishes and let him practice more."

The host was a little surprised and asked Youcai, "Your stepmother always asks you to cook. Aren't you psychologically unbalanced?"

This is exactly what the TV audience wants to ask. Letting the stepson cook is not partiality.

Youcai didn't care at all, "I like it. When I was cooking, they were busy. They all had to do housework. Since my mom married my dad, except for Zhuzhu, we all washed our own clothes and cooked our own meals. We don't keep idle people at home."

The audience in front of the TV also laughed a lot.

He also shared another story, "When I was in elementary school, my grades were not very good, I was at the bottom. I wanted to drop out of school and become a chef, but my mother advised me not to worry, saying that I always learned other people's recipes. If I went to college, I could create my own recipes one day, and maybe one day I would be the founder of a cuisine. Going to college is not just an extra diploma, but it improves my learning and innovation abilities. My mother encouraged me to study step by step, so that I could be admitted to college."

The audience felt that such a stepmother was really kind. The child was ignorant, but she advised him and always served as his guiding light.

When talking about Yaoyao, Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to mention Yaoyao's premature love, so she smiled and said, "This child has been very well-behaved since she was young, and she never worries us."

The host interviewed Yaoyao, and she told him about an incident when she was a child and almost drowned. "My mom asked my dad to take us to the river to learn how to swim. Let us overcome it. We can't be afraid of it."

The host felt that this concept was really different. "Every year, many children drown. If a child drowns, many parents will tell the child not to go near the water. This will make the child afraid. Swimming with the child is also a good way. However, it is better not to go swimming in the river alone without the company of parents. There is an old saying: those who drown are those who can swim."

Then it’s Jilin.

Speaking of Jilin, Zhang Xiuhua recalled the troubles she had in getting her son out of bed. "Jilin has always been slow to do things, like a turtle. I really put a lot of effort into it. When I was teaching him, I aroused his interest. Later, I found out that he liked models, so we spent a lot of money to buy him ship models, train models, and airplane models."

The host interviewed Jilin, "Do you like it?"

"like."

Zhuzhu interrupted at this time, "You really liked airplane models, and you even spun them in the sky. At that time, airplane models were not very strong, so they fell from the sky and broke into pieces."

The host was shocked. "A model that can fly? That must be expensive, right?"

Ji Lin recalled what happened at that time and nodded, "Yes! That model was imported from abroad, it was second-hand, and it cost 500 yuan. I broke Ji Dong's model, and I saved money to buy it. During that time, I did housework for points, sold popsicles, and set up stalls. Anyway, I made money in any way I could."

The host looked at Zhang Xiuhua and asked, "You want to let a child like him go out and make money?"

Zhang Xiuhua doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. "If he wants to buy a model, he has to try it himself. If they want to be the head of the family, I will let them try it, so they know that being the head of the family is not that easy."

The audience in front of the TV was a little confused by her advanced educational philosophy. Is this possible? Is it really a miracle that the child has not been raised astray? !

When the host interviewed Zhuzhu, she became much more lively and shared with everyone how she entered the entertainment industry. From her narration, it can be heard that she is indeed the most favored child in the family.

Ji Lin saved money for modeling, but she was able to go to five-star hotels in the south to have big meals at a very young age. She then participated in filming and played many important roles.

“She’s had a really smooth road.”

Many people do not envy Jidong's intelligence, nor do they envy Baolin's tenacity, nor do they envy Youcai's good cooking skills. They only envy Zhuzhu's good life.

He is loved by his parents, by so many brothers and sisters, and has his mother's adopted son to help him in his career. He is simply the chosen one.

The host asked Zhuzhu another question, "What would you do if your mother didn't like your future boyfriend?"

Zhuzhu blurted out, "I will break up with him."

Seeing that she didn't hesitate, the host reminded her again, "You like him very much. Very, very much."

Zhuzhu still didn't think much about it, "We will still break up. My mother is the one who loves me the most since I was a child. My biological father doesn't love me as much as my mother."

The host became interested and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhuzhu explained her reasons, "When I was a child, I was very naughty. Sometimes my father was so angry that he beat me with a stick. My mother would stop me and say, 'This is the flower of the motherland, you can't beat it!' My mother would use a roundabout way. My mother believes that there is no child in the world who does not commit crimes. She will not punish him with a stick for the first time he makes a mistake, but will give him a chance to correct it. If he still does not correct it the second time, she thinks that he may have a character problem or does not pay attention to his own shortcomings. If my mother thinks my boyfriend is not good, then it must be that he has a character problem. However, my mother has not interfered with the marriage of my brothers and sisters so far. It is all up to them to decide. Good or bad, they have to bear it all by themselves. She does not interfere."

The host then asked Zhang Xiuhua, "You don't worry about their significant other, don't you like them?"

"It doesn't matter whether I like them or not, they won't live with me. It's fine as long as they like them." Zhang Xiuhua didn't care much, "I'm not a very likable person myself. I won't force others to like me. As long as we separate, we can live in peace."

The host was a little surprised. "If the other half they choose is not to your liking, will you break them up?"

Zhang Xiuhua actually broke up Ergou's marriage and felt very embarrassed at the time. "They are adults and have their own sense of right and wrong. I will tell them about the things I think are not good. If they can accept it and they think it's OK, then they can continue to be together. I will not break up the couple and I don't want to interfere. It's up to them to decide."

The host exclaimed, "I rarely meet open-minded parents like you. Have you ever studied abroad in the West?"

"No. I often read books and think about how to teach my children." Zhang Xiuhua said honestly, "Since they are my children, I feel it is my responsibility to teach them well. When they get married, his father and I will withdraw gracefully. I think this step is crucial. I can't be with them forever."

Regardless of what the host thinks, those elderly people or daughters-in-law who are deeply troubled by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship are all shocked. She doesn't live with any of the children. She lives only with her husband. This view is really novel.

The host curiously asked, "What will you do when you get old?"

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment and said, "When I get old, I still have my old man. We can take care of each other. Unless I am bedridden and unable to move, then the children will probably take over. If they are under a lot of pressure and don't have time, then we can hire a nanny to take care of me."

In fact, the current "raising children to provide for old age" is a paradox, because children have to go to big cities to work and cannot return to the countryside to take care of their parents. Those young people who stay in big cities to buy houses have great pressure to repay the loans. Not only can they not take care of the elderly, but they also need the elderly to help them.

Instead, she chose to stay in the countryside, not to rely on anyone for help, and to live her own life, which is the life that many elderly people envy.

**

The interview with Zhang Xiuhua and her family attracted the attention of viewers not long after it was aired, but it became truly popular 20 years later.

Youcai runs restaurants all over China. When he went abroad to study in August, he opened restaurants abroad. After improving his dishes, they are sold well in more than 40 countries, making him a veritable catering giant.

At that time, Jidong was already the drone company with the highest market value in mainland China. Many shareholders were looking forward to its soaring success after its listing, but he never raised funds.

After retiring, Baolin chose to be a commentator for a short track speed skating sports channel and also operated several ski resorts. He provided many potential talents for the national team, and these talents won glory for the country one after another after joining the national team.

Jilin's career is the most stable. He is neither arrogant nor impatient, and his down-to-earth personality makes him very popular with leaders, who always give him important tasks. Many large companies are vying to cooperate with him, and the team he leads has achieved various outstanding results and made significant contributions to artificial intelligence.

Zhuzhu has been working in the entertainment industry for many years. Although she has experienced many ups and downs and hardships, she is very talented. With Ergou's support, she successfully won the Magnolia Award, Golden Eagle Award, and Feitian Award at the age of 30. She is considered the most natural actress in the entertainment industry.

Of the six children, Yaoyao has the most outstanding achievements in scientific research. She has never married and has devoted her life to medical research and development. She has made many breakthroughs in medical problems and was successfully elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Department of Life Sciences and Medicine) at the age of 40.

All six children have achieved success in their respective fields.

This interview was also called the strongest family in China. Zhang Xiuhua, a parent who raised six children single-handedly, was also worshipped by many parents who asked her for scientific parenting methods. Television stations also competed to interview her and ask her about her child-rearing methods.

At that time, Zhang Xiuhua already owned 30 courtyard houses in the capital and was a true billionaire. She helped many girls from poor families to go to school and was known as the first female philanthropist in China.
