Seeing the sky turn pale, Zhang Guoqing was also anxious to get home. The villagers hadn't finished work yet this morning, so he could still help out if he went back. Pushing open the door, Zhang Guoqing called out loudly for his mother, and his mother responded with a loud cry. They finished their ordinary calls and burst into laughter. Luckily, no one was home except Zhou Jiao, who was in confinement after giving birth, and their naive son.

"Mom, what are you doing? I bought some stuff, don't you want to take a look? Take a break first, I'll come back later."

Zhang's mother came out from the backyard and gave Zhang Guoqing a look. "What's the matter? Take the things back to your room, so that those who are short-sighted will not take them away if they see them and are tempted."

Zhang Guoqing understood that it was his second sister-in-law who made the mistake, and his mother was upset. He quickly pulled Zhang's mother into his room and whispered in her ear, "Mom, come with me. I'll tell you how to fight a bitch. Where's my father? I need to talk to him about this. Don't scare him later."

Zhang's mother's face immediately fell. She checked Zhang Guoqing several times before she was relieved. She took his hand and said, "What's going on? That bitch dared to bully you. I'm going to tear her apart first."

Zhou Jiao in the inner room was also very anxious. She heard the noise from a distance but didn't see anyone, and she didn't know where the person was injured. She was a woman and a shrew.

Zhou Jiao looked at her sleeping son and covered his ears with her hands. She lowered her voice and said, "Brother, come in with mom and let me take a look."

When Zhang Guoqing and his mother came in, they saw Zhou Jiao covering the child's ears in a strange manner, muffled her voice, and stared at them closely. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them come in.

"Mom, take a look at the things in the bag and take whatever you need. Put the pig's trotters and black chicken in the kitchen, and put the baby's here first. I'm really tired today. I've been running around a lot. I had buns at my second sister's this morning. They're all doing well. They came over on the third day of the baby's birth. Oh, I went to the Zhou family too. Something happened. We'll talk to them when my dad gets back."

Zhang's mother opened the bag and took out the things. She was stunned. This prodigal son. No matter how much money he had, it wouldn't be enough to spend. I just told his father yesterday that I wasn't worried about him. I think I should talk to them.

"Xiao Wu, this much must cost a lot of money, right? You can't spend money like this. Look at these white towels, why did you buy so many? You can use them all.

I've already prepared the brown sugar and red dates, and we have rice at home. Look at the rice you bought, it must be a special supply, right? And you bought so many pig's trotters and black chickens, can you finish them all? Oh, you're such a spendthrift son. You didn't spend all your private money, did you?

Zhang Guoqing and his wife laughed secretly after hearing this. These diapers are better than the towels at home. They should buy some towels next time, otherwise it would be a joke if someone came to visit. The two did not dare to refute, but only bowed their heads and pretended to admit their mistakes. Zhang's mother knew that her words were in vain. No wonder the second son's wife took away the diapers. This was planned in advance. Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this. Fortunately, it was Zhang Guoqing who brought it back. If it was the other two sons, Zhang's mother would definitely take out a stick and beat them every other day. She prepared that diaper for more than half a year and asked many people to get it together. Alas, what should I do if my child is such a spendthrift?

"Mom, don't worry. These things aren't expensive. I told my classmates a few days ago and went to get them today. Oh, that white towel you mentioned is a diaper. My classmate got it specially for me because he said it won't cause rashes on the baby's bottom. It's much cheaper than a towel."

The two pig's trotters are for Jiaojiao to increase her milk production. This rice and red dates are good for making porridge to replenish blood. Brown sugar and red dates are best for women, so I bought some extra. It's not just for Jiaojiao, you can eat it every day too.

I've stewed two black-bone chickens. You and Jiaojiao can eat whatever you want. It's rare to see black-bone chickens, so I bought some. I've also got two packets of milk powder. Take one for the two girls at home."

Zhang's mother thought what her son said made sense and nodded. But then she realized something was wrong and thought she had strayed into a ditch. She said angrily, "Good boy, you are fooling your mother. You almost strayed into a ditch. It's your wife who is in confinement after childbirth, not me. Don't touch the two black chickens."

I cleaned it up and waited for the pig's trotters to eat before giving it to Jiaojiao. I kept half of the rice and asked your father to grind it into rice flour for the children at home. This rice is so good and it is nutritious when ground into rice flour. I used the rest to make red date porridge for Jiaojiao. Mom is too old to eat so well.

Zhou Jiao shook Zhang's mother's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, if you don't even drink the red date porridge, how can I drink it? When I eat pig's trotters, I will see you chewing on vegetable steamed bread; when I eat black chicken, I will see you drinking wild vegetable porridge. As a result, I feel more and more guilty and have no appetite. I can't take good care of myself during the confinement period.

Let's drink together, or I won't drink even if you burn it. Look, Brother Xiaowu is filial to you, buying you something to drink every day. But you don't drink it. Next time, he sees something he wanted to buy you, but suddenly remembers you don't want it and doesn't buy it. If this happens too often, he'll take it for granted. Next time, when he sees something you like, he'll think you don't want it. Who will remember you in the future? Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?

You should be like, "This is what Xiaowu bought, I'm going to eat it." Oh, this is what Xiaowu bought, I'm wearing it too." Xiaowu thinks he has good taste, his mother likes everything he buys. They are really of the same mind. Then he is happy and very happy to be filial to you. Don't you think this is the truth?"

"Yeah, just listen to Jiaojiao. If you don't like anything I buy, then I won't know what you want, so I'll just have to not buy it. Buying more will only lead to mistakes, while not buying anything will be good. If you're like this, why raise a son?" Zhang Guoqing enthusiastically echoed Zhou Jiao's words. His mother was the quintessential good wife and mother, wanting to leave every delicious treat for her children while relying on her own luck to work herself to death. It would be fine if the son was filial, but if he was a ruthless person, he'd just take it for granted.

Zhang's mother listened to the young couple's words and thought they made sense, but they completely overturned her outlook on life. She decided she should talk to the child's father to see if he was right.

These two children were all deceiving, acting coquettishly, and threatening, and they were very filial. No matter what the decision was, she was satisfied with Xiaowu among the other children.

Seeing the two children staring at her nervously, she nodded in agreement. As for what she was thinking, only she knew. Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao touched each other's shoulders and smiled sweetly.

Zhang Guoqing looked at his son. He didn't wake up despite the loud noise. It would take some time for him to wake up. His family members would be back from work soon. He had only eaten a bowl of porridge and urinated since early morning.

He turned to Zhou Jiao and said, "Jiaojiao, while the baby is sleeping, you should go to sleep first. My mother and I will go out to clean up. Dad and the others will be back soon."

Zhou Jiao nodded after hearing this, and watched Zhang Guoqing take out a bag of milk powder, a bottle, and diapers, then carry the bag and go out with Zhou's mother. She also took the time to get some sleep.
