"By the way, the factory director's family has to pay the nanny. How much money do your son and daughter-in-law plan to give you as a filial gift?"
"Don't go. We have almost the same language. We both have wives and sons who don't recognize their mothers."
“…”
Every word he said went into Gu's mother's heart.
She was happy that her youngest son found a wife from the city.
Her daughter-in-law graduated from a technical secondary school, had a job, and would get a generous dowry when she got married, which made her even happier.
But all this joy gradually disappeared after Lin Xue got married. At first, they got used to it and thought Lin Xue was extravagant. Later, when her grandson was born, Gu's mother came to help and they lived together. He still expected his daughter-in-law to be filial to him, but it always seemed like she was serving her daughter-in-law. After she said a few words, before her daughter-in-law could say anything, her youngest son started to speak for Lin Xue.
Being a daughter-in-law and being filial to her mother-in-law, isn't this how women have been since ancient times?
Mother Gu herself also started out as a daughter-in-law!
But there is one thing about her: she will never make a fool of herself in front of outsiders.
"All you do is gossip all day long. Why didn't Lao Qian tell you in your dreams that he missed you?"
Old Mrs. Qian was so angry that she pointed at someone and said, "Are you cursing me to death?"
Mother Gu held her grandson in her arms and said gently, "Which ear of yours heard me curse you to death?"
The one-year-old child clapped his hands and blew bubbles: "Ah, yes, yes..."
Although the one-year-old child didn't understand anything, this coincidence made him even more bullying. The grandmother and grandson bullied together and bullied old lady Qian away.
This time, the instigation seemed to have failed, but in fact, in Gu's mother's heart, it was like adding another piece of firewood to the flames. The flames accumulated during this period reached their peak. She...
"Mom, are you leaving?"
Gu Siyi looked at his mother who was packing up her things, with a dazed look in his eyes. He didn't understand why his mother, who had agreed to help take care of the child until he was three years old, wanted to leave.
"Yes, I want to go back to your brother's place. Your father is waiting for me." Mother Gu decided to teach her youngest son and daughter-in-law a lesson. They all thought that she was not tired of taking care of children and doing housework!
Gu Siyi felt a headache after hearing this, "Mom, can we please stop making trouble?"
"You actually think I'm making a fuss? Humph, then I'm making a fuss. You give birth to your own son, so you raise him yourself!"
Mother Gu was furious. Her youngest son really didn't care about her as a mother.
No matter what Gu Siyi said, Gu's mother insisted on leaving. She didn't even cook dinner. She put her grandson in the arms of her son who had just got off work, and left happily.
In the main room, only Xiao Gu and Xiao Xiao Gu were left, staring at each other with wide eyes.
Lin Xue also got off work early today, mainly because the team's tasks were completed, and these technicians who had worked hard for nearly a month could relax for two days.
When I got home, I was dumbfounded.
Now, it was the turn of the family of three to stare at each other in wide eyes.
Gu Siyi stood up and said, "There's nothing I can do. Xue'er, you take care of Xiaotian. I'll go make something to eat."
"Okay, did our mom say when she will be back?" Lin Xue asked. The child in her arms was soft and smelled of milk powder. His two little fleshy hands were shaking, and his little mouth kept calling for mom. Of course, having a son of her own is good, but if she really had to take care of him from morning to night, she was afraid it would not work.
Gu Siyi made a bitter face and shook his head: "I didn't say anything. I don't know what someone said this time, but I'm so angry again."
My mother-in-law is a nice person, but she is easily influenced and listens to whatever others say. Not only is she easily persuaded, but she is also easily hurt. Lin Xue doesn't know what this kind of person is called, she just doesn't know what to say.
Opposite the Gu family is the Song family. Jiang Baizhou has not returned from the factory yet. Song Jiayu is not in a hurry. She has just grown the second batch of soybean sprouts. She is not going to stir-fry them, but to make some soup.
Take out the pound of fat and lean pork rewarded by the system, refine the fat into oil, and make a small jar of lard paste. Put some of the remaining oil residue aside, and sprinkle some with fine salt as a snack. Cut a small piece of lean meat, chop it into meat patties, put it in the pot, add bean sprouts and beaten egg liquid, and finally sprinkle with fine salt and MSG, pour in a little soy sauce to enhance the color, and a pot of bean sprout, egg and meat patty soup is ready.
The remaining lean meat was not cooked together, but sliced and fried with oil and kept for stir-frying tomorrow. In the hot weather in June without a refrigerator, the meat would go bad if left overnight.
Then I used the oil used to stir-fry the meat to stir-fry the cabbage, added the leftover stir-fried beans from lunch, and steamed a few steamed buns. When the meal was ready, Jiang Baizhou came back.
"Go, take this bowl of soup to mom and dad." Song Jiayu ordered people around. She was not stingy, not to mention that Jiang's mother also sent a big bowl of mixed noodles with sauce yesterday, and there were meat pieces in the sauce. Good relationships are built on mutual interactions.
Jiang Baizhou brought back a bowl of soup, washed his hands, and sat on a bench to have dinner with his wife.
The soup tastes very good. First of all, the pork raised in this era is better than the modern one. Secondly, the soybean sprouts are infused with wood-type abilities. Jiang Baizhou has been checking in these days, eating one leaf every day. His wood-type abilities are almost at level 1. With more energy, the taste and nutritional value are naturally better.
The Jiang family was also talking about it. A bowl of meat soup, a small bowl for each member of the Jiang family. It didn't look like much, but the bowl was full of ingredients: crystal bean sprouts, egg flowers floating on the soup surface, and chopped meat. After taking a sip of the fresh soup and picking up a few bean sprouts to eat, Jiang's father, who often drove around and ate at many local state-owned restaurants, sighed: "Jiayu is a great daughter-in-law. The bean sprouts she makes are better than those sold outside. They are crisp and delicious. Her cooking skills are also good. San'er must have married the right wife!"
Jiang's mother also liked it and was able to get along well with her third daughter-in-law. She said, "Yes, she is good at growing bean sprouts and vegetables. Whether it's green vegetables or peanut seedlings, they all grow well."
The three children of the Jiang family all nodded. They liked their third aunt very much because she had so many delicious foods.
Only Jiang Dasao and Jiang Ersao curled their lips after eating the meat soup. They had always looked down on the third brother's wife, and now the third brother's wife was always trying to please her mother-in-law, which made them even more disgusted. They acted as if it was just a bowl of meat soup and it was nothing.
How delicious is pork scraps sprinkled with a little salt?
It was crispy and fragrant. Song Jiayu ate one piece after another and couldn't stop.
The sound of a baby crying was heard in the courtyard. Jiang Baizhou looked across and saw his good brother in the main room comforting the baby.
"What happened to the old Gu family?"
"Aunt Gu packed up and went home."
"Did you have a fight?"
"Not really." Song Jiayu looked like she had just gotten some big news, and excitedly told Jiang Baizhou what she had seen this morning, Old Madam Qian instigating Aunt Gu.
This was also one of the tasks issued by the system. After checking in with Old Lady Qian and Aunt Gu, they were rewarded with ten kilograms of peanuts and ten kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Jiang Baizhou also laughed after hearing this, and after dinner he went across the street to watch Gu Siyi make fun of himself.
