Chapter 61 Grandma and Grandpa Are Not a Burden
"My parents will definitely have no objection. Our Qibao is a well-behaved child and one person is enough to take care of him. But can I do a good job as the principal of this kindergarten?" Su Mingmei was a little unconfident.
After taking care of the children at home for a long time, she began to doubt her ability to do her job.
She actually really wants to go out to work and challenge herself.
"Your abilities are definitely beyond doubt, otherwise Xiao Tuan wouldn't have thought of you first!" Gu Jianguo still has a lot of trust in his wife.
My daughter-in-law is well-educated and organized. In the past few years, she has been taking care of the children and keeping the home in order. She is definitely capable of taking on the responsibility of being the principal of the kindergarten.
"My job is not urgent, but my father is bored at home. Do you think you can find him a suitable odd job in the army..." Su Mingmei said, thinking of his father.
"Okay, I'll ask around!" Gu Jianguo nodded. His father-in-law and mother-in-law are both people who can't sit still.
If they hadn't been reluctant to leave Qibao, they would have gone back long ago.
Even if I want to stay now, sitting at home every day is not a solution.
If there wasn't a yard at home for them to grow vegetables, they probably wouldn't have been able to stay there.
Gu Jianguo kept the matter of finding a job for his father-in-law in mind, and went to the regiment early the next morning to ask Xiao Tuan about it.
"Don't worry about your father-in-law for now. Can you take on the job of the director of your sister-in-law's kindergarten? If you are interested, decide on it quickly. This is a formal position with a good salary. There are many people eyeing this lucrative job. If you delay it for too long, I'm afraid something will happen!"
Xiao Yi interrupted Gu Jianguo speechlessly and urged.
This couple is really careless. Instead of working hard at their regular jobs, they are obsessed with doing odd jobs.
He had to endure a lot of pressure to suppress the matter. Once the news leaked out, countless people would compete for the position of kindergarten director.
"I'll go back and confirm this matter. I'll give you an answer this afternoon at the latest!" Gu Jianguo felt a sense of urgency after hearing Xiao Tuan's words.
When he returned home at noon, Gu Jianguo asked his wife for her opinion again.
"Go, of course. Your mom and I will take care of Qibao. You just go out and work hard. Don't worry about anything!"
Without waiting for Su Mingmei to answer, Su Qingshan on the side couldn't wait to respond.
Being the principal of a kindergarten is a good job.
"In two years, our Qibao will be grown up. By then, with you as the headmistress, the kids in the kindergarten won't dare to bully her!" Su Qingshan has already thought about the next two years.
"Your dad is right. We can't postpone such a good thing. Your dad and I live here, eat and drink your food, and we are a burden. It's hard enough for Jianguo to do it alone, otherwise your dad wouldn't be in a hurry to find a job!" Dong Yulan was anxious and expressed the concerns she and her husband had during this period.
It’s true that they are reluctant to part with Qibao.
But at the same time, they don't want to drag down their daughter and son-in-law's family.
These two old guys need a lot of food every day.
It is not easy for the son-in-law to raise three children alone.
It would be unreasonable for them to continue to be a burden.
"Dad, Mom, why do you think so?" Su Mingmei was shocked. She felt like something stabbed her chest, and a continuous pain spread.
When she was young, her parents raised her and wanted to give her the best of everything. They never felt that she was a burden.
It doesn't make sense that when her parents are old and she should be filial to them, she would despise them for being a burden!
She never felt that her parents were a burden!
Besides, her parents have been helping her all this time!
"It's our duty to be filial to you two. Besides, mom and dad have been helping take care of Qibao and helping Mingmei with cooking, washing clothes, and growing vegetables at home during this period... Without you, she would have a hard time. We can't thank you enough!"
Gu Jianguo said sincerely.
He is really grateful to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Especially during the time when he was injured earlier.
If it weren't for the father-in-law and mother-in-law, his wife would be exhausted taking care of the children and him at home alone.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law are hardworking and always eager to share the housework. They are also very attentive to the children.
Since the two elders came, the atmosphere at home has been better than before, and my wife is happy every day.
He even decided to let his father-in-law and mother-in-law live with them.
Of course, if my brother-in-law gets married and has his own family and needs help from his parents-in-law, that’s a different matter.
"Grandma and Grandpa, I won't be a burden!" Gu Qiqi, who was sitting on a mat playing with building blocks, suddenly jumped up, came over happily, and comforted Dong Yulan.
It’s all because of poverty!
If there was more food at home, grandma and grandpa wouldn’t be so worried!
"Our Qibao is so well behaved!" Dong Yulan squatted down, picked up little Qibao, and felt so happy in her heart.
"Mom and Dad, you are not allowed to have this idea again. The position of kindergarten principal is really good and I am willing to do it. But when I go to work, you will have to work hard at home!" Su Mingmei said to the old couple Su Qingshan.
"That's right, just go to work without worry, this is just some housework, your mom and I won't feel tired at all!"
Hearing that his daughter was willing to go to work, Su Qingshan smiled like a flower.
He didn't want his daughter to be trapped in the kitchen and a bunch of chores at home every day. She should go out, work, display her talents, and make more friends with like-minded people.
"Our Qibao is so well-behaved, not to mention your dad and I taking care of him at home, I am enough on my own!" Dong Yulan waved her hand.
It’s good for my daughter to go to work.
In this way, the son-in-law's family will have an extra income every month.
She and her husband no longer have to worry about their daughter's family not having enough food.
Gu Jianguo told Xiao Tuan about his wife's decision in the afternoon.
Xiao Yi was very happy to hear that Su Mingmei was willing to be the principal of the kindergarten. This way, he could report to his wife when he returned home in the evening.
In fact, the idea of building a nursery in the army was proposed by Bai Xiumei, and it was she who made it happen with her own efforts!
In order to set up this kindergarten, Bai Xiumei ran around and spent a lot of energy.
Fortunately, the result is good.
Su Mingmei was thus confirmed as the principal of the kindergarten.
Next, Su Mingmei went out early and came back late every day, busy with the preparation work for the kindergarten.
The affairs of the household fell entirely on Su Qingshan and Dong Yulan.
Dong Yulan is responsible for washing clothes and cooking, Su Qingshan is responsible for taking care of the chickens at home and the vegetables in the yard, and then helps take care of Qibao.
Su Mingmei’s cooking is delicious, and it turns out she has a genetic trait.
Dong Yulan is also a good cook, and with the rich variety of vegetables in the yard, the Gu family has a rich meal every day.
When it comes to dinner time, Bai Xiumei next door looks sad.
The food at the Gu family was so delicious that the food she brought back from the cafeteria tasted tasteless.
But it’s definitely not okay to always go to Gu’s house for free meals!
