Chapter 706 (Page 1/2)

Because Huo Qingyan had an important task to do, he had to return to work early on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Song Jingjing chose to stay at her parents' home to accompany her family and spent a whole week there.

Only after her grandmother was safely buried did Song Jingjing get on the car specially arranged by her father and set off on her journey home with her children.

Before leaving, Tang Lihong took Song Jingjing's hand and earnestly warned her, "Jingjing, Yichen lost a tooth on New Year's Eve. You must pay extra attention to his health this year."

Song Jingjing nodded repeatedly and replied, "Don't worry, Mom, I remember everything."

Tang Lihong continued, "Also, Yichen told me that Zizi can see your grandmother, so when you go back, don't hit or scold her again.

Zizi's eyes might be lower, so she can easily see those things. And tonight is the seventh night after your grandmother's return to the spirit world, so you should be extra careful when you get back."

Originally, when Song Jingjing stayed at her mother's house these few days, she did not feel the slightest fear. After all, her grandmother had always loved and cared for her since she was a child.

However, when Song Jingjing heard her mother mention that tonight was the seventh night after her grandmother's soul returned, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

After a brief hesitation, Song Jingjing said, "Mom, if you have some free time, please burn some paper money for grandma so she won't scare the children anymore."

Upon hearing this, Tang Lihong scolded him, "You silly child, you keep talking nonsense! Your grandmother loved you so much when she was alive, why would she come back to scare you? She only protects our family from the shadows."

Song Jingjing looked at her listless, eyes-closed daughter in her arms with a distressed look. She gently stroked her soft hair and said to Tang Lihong with a worried look on her face:

"Mom, our Anran has been crying non-stop in the middle of the night lately. No matter how much I try to comfort her, she won't stop. I think she must have been frightened by something."

Tang Lihong frowned and responded with a hint of reproach: "You silly child! An Ran and An Yan are so young, you shouldn't have been so anxious to bring them back."

Song Jingjing sighed helplessly and explained, "If I don't bring them back, my parents-in-law won't be able to help take care of the twins.

Mom, can you help me find a reliable nanny to help me? It’s too hard for me to take care of two children by myself.

Tang Lihong thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't you hire Liao Sijie to help look after the children during the day?"

Song Jingjing shook her head and answered with a bitter face: "She has several children of her own at home who need to be taken care of. How can she be free to come and help me every day?" After saying that, she couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness and fatigue surge in her heart.

Because of the issue of taking care of children, her father-in-law and mother-in-law had long been dissatisfied with them. If she dared to send one of the twins to her parents-in-law at this moment, she was afraid that her bad-tempered father-in-law would pick up the broom without hesitation and kick them out of the house without mercy.

However, the reality is helpless. Now she is the only one left at home to take care of these two young babies who have just learned to sit and have not even mastered crawling.

How could she cope with taking care of the two little ones' eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sleeping and various emergencies by herself?

Tang Lihong was naturally aware of the hardships and difficulties her daughter faced in raising a child, but the family was in a mess right now.

Her mother-in-law had just passed away, and her father-in-law was in poor health and needed someone to take care of his daily life and diet at all times. As a result, she really couldn't spare the time to go to her daughter's house to help take care of the children!

As for the option of hiring a nanny, it is not easy to find a suitable and reliable person in a short period of time.

Moreover, many relatives in her hometown have been resentful towards her since her cousin Tang Xue had a fight with her daughter.

How could they willingly let their daughter or daughter-in-law come out to help their precious daughter take care of the children?

The more difficult problem is that familiar friends and family are unwilling to lend a helping hand, while unfamiliar strangers make people feel uneasy.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable these days. If you find a young girl to help take care of the child in a hurry, who can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen - for example, the girl will develop feelings for her son-in-law, have an affair with him, and other bad things will happen?

Not long ago, she heard Wen Wan say that in order to stay in the city, the young nanny hired by the Chen family actually climbed onto Mr. Chen's bed to warm the old man in the cold winter. This kind of thing is simply horrifying!

So she was really worried and hesitant about asking someone else to help take care of the child.

Tang Lihong frowned and kept thinking about finding a nanny for her daughter.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. What if the nanny she hired was unreliable? Wouldn't that affect her daughter's marriage life?

After all, taking care of children is not an easy task. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Tang Lihong finally couldn't help but said, "Jingjing, as for finding a nanny, why don't you leave it to your mother-in-law.

They have been in the army for so long and know so many people, they will definitely be able to find a reliable and suitable nanny to help take care of the children."

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then added, "If you really can't find a suitable one, then after we've sorted out all the miscellaneous matters at home next month, Mom will go over and help you take care of the baby for a few months. When An Ran and Anyan can walk, Mom will come back."

Hearing her mother say this, Song Jingjing was surprised and moved and asked, "Mom, are you really going to come over and help me take care of the baby?"

Tang Lihong nodded and replied with a smile: "Silly girl, you are my only precious daughter. If I don't help you take care of the child, who else can I help?

Besides, it is also a kind of happiness to watch our Anran and Anyan grow up healthily day by day!

Oh, by the way, when will Mr. Huo and your sister-in-law be back? You should spend more time with your sister-in-law and build a good relationship with her.

This way, your Yichen can live with his uncle when he goes to school, so they can take care of each other!"

"Mom, my eldest sister-in-law and I are not on the same page. She is very withdrawn. She would rather chat with the children than come and chat with me and my aunts."

"I think your sister-in-law is a very nice person!"

"That's what you saw. Fourth Aunt and Young Aunt all said that my eldest sister-in-law was a little aloof. Maybe she's different because she went to college!

What daughter-in-law wouldn't stay home for the New Year, but would take her children so far to Haishi to celebrate the New Year?"

Tang Lihong sighed helplessly and said slowly: "Alas, the couple can't be reunited, do you think you will feel comfortable if I have to stay at the Huo family and work myself to death to prepare New Year's Eve dinner for you?

Jingjing, you yourself said that your parents-in-law have some opinions about you, so you have to be more diligent in the future. When you get home, do more work and talk less. If you do that, maybe your parents-in-law will like you as much as they like your sister-in-law.

Then, Tang Lihong advised earnestly, "If you don't get along well with your eldest sister-in-law now, when your brother-in-law gets married again, if your eldest sister-in-law gets along very well with your younger sister-in-law and leaves you aside, then you will be the only one in the Huo family who will be isolated by them!"

Hearing her mother's words, Song Jingjing retorted disapprovingly, "Mom, you don't know, my brother-in-law has always had a good relationship with my eldest sister-in-law, and the wife he will marry in the future will most likely be close to my eldest sister-in-law.

What can I do? Do you really want me to lower myself and curry favor with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law?

Besides, I have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear here, so why should I try to please them?

And that Aunt Wen, she doesn't even care about her own daughter. I'm just an outsider, what's the point of getting along so well with her?"

Tang Lihong didn't know how to persuade her daughter. In the end, her daughter was just jealous of her sister-in-law's life.

How could Wen Wan not care about her daughter? Even though she didn't care, she still came to talk to her often, asking about her daughter's life in the Huo family?

Less than two days after Song Jingjing returned home with her children, she took time out again to personally send her youngest son Huo Yifei to her in-laws' home.

When Xiao Ya saw Song Jingjing coming, she didn't say much. But when she saw that she didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave after putting her grandson down, she couldn't help feeling a little confused.

So, she asked, "Jingjing, is there something you want to talk about when you come here today?"

Hearing her mother-in-law's question, Song Jingjing said with embarrassment, "Mom, to be honest, I really can't take care of the twins An Ran and Anyan by myself. Can you help me find an experienced, older nanny?"

Xiao Ya frowned and responded, "It's not easy to find an older nanny! Besides, don't you often send Yanyan to Sijie's place to help take care of her during the day? Why are you thinking of finding a nanny now?"

Song Jingjing quickly explained, "Mom, Si Jie can't possibly be free to help me every day, and it's really troublesome for me to pay her every day.

That’s why I’m thinking of hiring a live-in nanny so that we can all take care of the children together and it will be easier.”

After a pause, she continued, "Mom, if possible, since you've almost recovered, why don't you come live with us? I'll pay you on time every month as compensation."

When Xiao Ya heard this, her heart was shocked and she thought to herself: Could it be that the second son's wife wants her to be their nanny?

Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head and refused, "Jingjing, look, you already sent Feifei and Zizi here for me to help take care of them.

If I go back to your place now to take care of the twins, what will happen to Feifei, Zizi, and Rourou? I can't just leave them here and ignore them, right? "

"Mom, they can eat by themselves, just let Dad and Qinghuan watch over them."
