Zhong Dawa wrinkled his nose. “I’m not lazy! I just want to take Gengsheng out to play.” “Then tell me, what’s so fun about the food factory?” Song Zhaodi glared at him. “Zhong Dawa, I may not be your biological mother, but I’ve raised you for more than two years. I don’t even need to […]
Zhong Dawa nodded in agreement, “Definitely worth celebrating. Mom, I’m going to make dumplings.” As he turned, he sneakily took two freshly made chive packets. Song Zhaodi sighed, exasperated, and called out, “Zhong Dawa, share half with your brother!” “I know, I know,” Zhong Dawa’s voice came from the living room. Song Zhaodi felt helpless […]
Zili smiled bitterly. “Dawa, you just said I was your good brother.” “I never said you weren’t,” Zhong Dawa replied, confused. “Why would you think that?” Song Zhaodi explained, “You call Zili your brother, yet you say he got played. Is that how a brother treats another?” “But I was just telling the truth,” Zhong […]
As the children were about to start a fight, Song Zhaodi decided she couldn’t just sit back and watch. “Zili, is there scallop or fish in the basket?” “It’s seaweed.” Zili paused for a moment, then asked, “Auntie, how did you know there was something in the basket?” Song Zhaodi glanced at Zhong Dawa and […]
Song Zhaodi scoffed, “Bringing his gang of brothers? If he had such a gang, he wouldn’t need outside help.” “Wait, really?” Zhong Jianguo had only been speaking casually, but now he was surprised. “Zili and Gengsheng have learned how to fight? Not bad, not bad.” Zili was speechless. Gengsheng felt like he was hallucinating. He […]
A single light remark made Zhong Dawa’s face change drastically. He quickly said, “Mom, I know I was wrong.” “So I never said you weren’t allowed to eat,” Song Zhaodi replied. “When I said you’d have to stand all day tomorrow, that was only if you couldn’t come up with a better solution. If you […]
Zhong Erwa grumbled, “Then I won’t sew it.” As he spoke, he tossed his pants onto the chair. “Well, let me tell you this, making five new pairs of pants for you all used up two fabric ration tickets,” Song Zhaodi said. “I still have five left, which need to be saved for making shirts […]
Around nine o’clock, after the children had gone to bed, Song Zhaodi sat on the bed, unable to sleep, waiting for Zhong Jianguo. When she saw Zhong Jianguo enter the room with damp hair, she frowned. “Dry your hair before getting into bed.” “My hair is short; it doesn’t need drying.” Zhong Jianguo casually rubbed […]
Zhong Jianguo chuckled, “Ulterior motives? Song Zhaodi, is that how you see yourself?” Without waiting for her to respond, he continued, “You want Zili and Gengsheng to completely sever ties with their mother’s side and see only you as their mother. I understand that, but have you considered how young the children still are?” “Zili […]
Zili looked at Gengsheng. Were they about to fight? A quarrel at the head of the bed, peace at the foot of it. Gengsheng pulled Zili along, dragging him out of the bedroom and making sure to close the door behind them. Zhong Jianguo stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at Song Zhaodi. […]
