Song Hongguo has applied moisturizing cream every day since her rebirth. Her hands are as delicate and slender as green onions. At this moment, there are seven or eight colorful candies lying in her palms, which instantly caught the eyes of the children.

The adults present were all startled. Zhao Baoqing was the first to react. He stopped his grandson who was about to rush over with a straight face. He turned to Song Hongguo and spoke quite gently, "What are you doing? Put it away quickly!"

He wouldn't stop me from grabbing some melon seeds, but the candies were too expensive.

"It's just for the children to eat and play with. You are too foreign. They have to call me..." Song Hongguo heard the sound of aunt before and guessed that the captain and the original owner's biological mother should be cousins, but she couldn't pay attention to it for a moment. Know what the kids should call her.

She didn't know, but Zhao Zhenhua knew it. He had dealt with Song Hongguo for a long time, and he thought he was familiar with her, so he said quickly, "Your grandfather is my second grandfather, and your mother is my aunt. We are cousins. Mancang , everyone in Mangu will call you cousin."

The children were also smart, shouting "cousin" and "cousin", with their eyes glued to the candy. A boy who looked more than three years old begged Zhao Baoqing pitifully, "Grandpa, grandpa, I Want to eat sweets..."

"Come, take it to eat with your brothers and sisters." In rural areas, especially these days, it is rare to eat food from other people's homes. People who come to visit people bring their own dry food. Therefore, Song Hongguo knew that they were not being polite, but She also sincerely gave it away, but in desperation, she could only get up and stuff it into the children's hands.

"Too many, too many, just give them a few to sweeten their mouths..."

Zhao Baoqing tried to persuade him, but he still felt more distressed than when he was delivering the food himself, but he still didn't stop him because Song Hongguo was from a girl's family, and he, a male elder, was really unsightly when he stepped forward and pulled her, but his daughters-in-law could stop him. , but seeing the longing in his child's eyes, his heart softened.

In the end, several children, no matter how big or small, shared two pieces each.

The young wife who brought her water patted a little boy on the head and said with a smile, "Why don't you thank your cousin soon."

So "Thank you, cousin" came and went one after another, which was called a warm welcome.

The system appeared at this moment and said angrily, "Congratulations to the host, you have gained so many cousins ​​at once."

"..."

"Okay, let's all go out and play." Zhao Baoqing kicked out the children because he thought they were messy. When the room calmed down, he looked at Song Hongguo hesitantly and asked, "You are coming today, where is the Li family?" ……Agree?"

"they do not know."

"You came here without telling them?" Zhao Baoqing was not too surprised, but he looked very disapproving, "Since your grandpa and grandma passed away, your mother has not come back, and your second aunt has had a quarrel with her. How many of you brothers and sisters? I didn’t come here a few times, and then your mother died too. Didn’t your stepmother say that she was disowned by our Zhao family? Is she willing to come back secretly? "

It seems that the Zhao family didn't know that the original owner had been sold a long time ago. As expected, the relationship was broken off completely. Song Hongguo didn't complain in her heart. After all, they were cousins, separated by one floor. Besides, Zhao Yuzhi When I got married, I had a lot of trouble with my parents' family, and my relationship became even more estranged. It was normal for no one to pay attention to me.

She explained calmly, "My surname is Song now, and I am no longer a member of the Li family, so I can make my own decisions, and they have nothing to do with me."

"What?"

Although Zhao Baoqing was surprised, he didn't think of going anywhere else. He just thought that she was getting married. He looked at Ling Zhi and Ling Yuan again and saw that they were not the right age for her. For a moment, he didn't know how to ask.

Song Hongguo knew that if she didn't explain clearly, things would be difficult to handle later on, and she had no intention of covering up for the Li family. "I was adopted out by my family when I was a child. My adoptive father gave the Li family 100 yuan and wrote a divorce document. I I have nothing to do with the Li family for a long time. I have been living with my adoptive parents in Province Y for these years, and I just came back a few days ago."

Zhao Baoqing looked at her in surprise, with a hint of anger in his tone, "Did your stepmother sell you without telling your father?"

Song Hongguo shook his head and said calmly, "He knew it and was very happy to do so. At that time, there were many children at home and they couldn't have enough to eat. Maybe he thought it was a way out for me. It happened that my adoptive father had no children, so he adopted him. I have gone through the formal adoption procedures."

Such rhetoric could not calm Zhao Baoqing, "Then you are coming back now?"

"Both my adoptive parents passed away. It was a coincidence that they asked me to go back to my hometown before they died. I happened to be assigned to the employee hospital of the aluminum factory, so I came back..." Having said this, Song Hongguo took advantage of the situation and said, "The hospital is temporarily closed. It’s easy to arrange a house, I came here today just to find out if our brigade has any idle houses for sale.”

Zhao Baoqing was still a little confused, but Zhao Zhenhua was quick to speak, "Yes, yes, yes, there are several places idle. I will take my cousin to see them later."

"Okay, thank you...cousin." This is another relative.

Zhao Baoqing came over slowly, turned to glare at him, and then reminded Song Hongguo, "Your second aunt lives in our brigade, so you are not afraid of her..."

Song Hongguo smiled and said, "Can Second Aunt still care about a junior like me? Besides, my surname is Song now."

Hearing this, Zhao Baoqing's face turned a little gloomy, and he was obviously still a little concerned about the Li family selling their children. He glanced at Ling Zhi and Ling Yuan again, and this time he didn't shy away from asking, "Who are these two children?"

Song Hongguo said calmly, "I adopted them. My adoptive father has no sons. He raised me for a while. I can't let the Song family lose their incest."

Zhao Baoqing's expression changed. After a moment, he nodded, "You are right, you must not forget your roots..." He stood up, took an old coat from the kang cabinet next to him and put it on, "I don't want to see the house, I will take you there. Turn around.”

"Then I'm sorry for the trouble, captain..." Song Hongguo didn't expect him to be so happy all of a sudden, so she hurriedly thanked him.

Zhao Baoqing said awkwardly, "What do you call me, captain? I am your uncle."

Song Hongguo followed her kindness and called out "Uncle", then took out a box of cigarettes from her bag and said in a natural and natural manner, "Uncle, you smoke."

Zhao Baoqing declined subconsciously.

Song Hongguo smiled and stuffed it into his hand, "Since I call you uncle, shouldn't my niece honor you with a pack of cigarettes?"

Hearing this, Zhao Baoqing cleared his throat, then took it, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Don't spend money randomly in the future. Why do I need to smoke such a good cigarette?"

The cigarettes provided by the system are not the most expensive, but they are not cheap either. They only cost a few cents a box and are definitely worth giving away.

You can tell by the expressions of the men present that they are all thinking about it.

Zhao Zhenhua leaned over to ask for it with a playful smile, but Zhao Baoqing was so angry that he didn't want to smoke it. He just took out one and smelled it, then put it behind his ear and walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
