Lu Xiao touched her head and said in a gentle and doting tone: "The baby is not making a fuss. He is very well behaved. He fell asleep after drinking the milk powder. I now have time to clean up the house."
Jiang Yan looked around and saw diapers, sheets, quilt covers, socks and clothes hanging on ropes in the yard, and smiled with satisfaction.
"My brother Lu is the best at cleaning up. Go ahead and don't delay. Work is more important!"
After finishing speaking, Lu Xiao walked down the slope. Lu Li did not enter the house either. He greeted Jiang Yan, "Sister-in-law, Jing Tian is at home and there is no one to cook for her. I will go back first."
After he finished speaking, he blew away like a tornado. Xu Zhixia smacked his lips, "This is a real wife slave. He doesn't even need Jing Tian to tell him what to do. He knows it clearly in his mind."
Jiang Yan took her into the house, closed the door, and looked at the little ones sleeping in a row on the bed, her heart softened.
She reached out and touched their diapers, which were not wet, so she changed the sweat towel first.
He casually said to Xu Zhixia: "How do you think he got a gigolo? If he didn't raise his eyes and eyebrows, how could Jing Tian love him so much? She even gave him a house and a car."
Xu Zhixia touched the baby's soft little hand, lovingly saying, "Where the money is, there the heart is, it's the same for men and women.
Without money or company, how can one survive?
If you want a man to be nice to you, how long can he be nice to me? All kindness has a shelf life. You can't expect a man to be nice to me no matter what.
Besides, isn’t being nice to me a basic requirement? When did it become a ticket to admission? "
Those stupid women always say that men treat them well, but aren't they living in chaos afterwards? As long as the man has money and doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, then how bad can life be?
You stay at home to take care of your parents-in-law and raise children, but in his eyes, you are just a worthless woman. Men are also quite realistic. "
Jiang Yan chatted with her: "Let's not talk about the distant past. Just look at Xiao Zheng from our courtyard. Didn't he bring a girlfriend home recently? His family didn't agree. Why? The man wanted to get her for free. He said there was no betrothal gift. He and Xiao Zheng were truly in love.
Asking for a betrothal gift, what's the difference between that and selling a daughter? I was stunned. Xiao Zheng said that she was a new-age woman, wanted to fall in love freely, and did not accept her parents' arranged marriage. She made a big fuss.
Later, she left with that man in the middle of the night. I bet she will come back with a swollen face within three months."
It's not that she was making malicious speculations. She just couldn't bear to see others living a good life. Her relationship with her family had become strained and no one was supporting her.
When you are at your mother-in-law's house, are you just a nanny? You have to do whatever she tells you to do. If you resist, your mother-in-law will say you are a loser and her son is so powerful.
Otherwise, you could run away with her son.
Xu Zhixia continued gossiping while cracking melon seeds, "Isn't it the same for the educated youth in the brigade? After being coaxed by that man, she was almost going home with him. If you are not legitimate, don't expect to get any respect in the man's family.
We women should always act in our own interests. Do you think men are stupid? He pretends to be ignorant even though he knows the truth, insisting that you can't leave him.
I've slept with this cheap wife enough, and I can still spend money to replace her. Anyway, I don't think there's anything shameful about divorce!"
The two of them chatted excitedly, waiting for Miao Xiuying to finish cooking.
Xu Zhixia was still a little embarrassed, "Godmother, you can't stop talking about this, and I didn't say I would go to the kitchen to help you, call me next time!"
Miao Xiuying handed her a bowl and chopsticks, very enthusiastically, "Hey, you guys decide, I'll take care of it. I'm so happy that you can come. I don't have any dishes at home, so I just cooked something casually."
Miao Xiuying cooks home-cooked dishes, including fried pork with peppers, loofah and pork soup, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried shredded potatoes.
Xu Zhixia took a bite and praised it as if she had eaten something delicious: "Godmother, your cooking skills are so good, comparable to the master chefs in state-owned restaurants. If you go to work, you will have to queue up to get food! I have to eat two more bowls.
"That's the bad thing about living in the countryside. People are too lazy to cook, so they just cook something and it's enough for two or three meals. And you, godmother, are really hardworking.
Every meal has three dishes and one soup. Look how our little Yan has become fair and rosy, and her complexion is getting better and better."
Xu Zhixia's mouth was just like honey, making Miao Xiuying laugh uncontrollably, "Your sister-in-law is born fierce, why do I need to raise her? The three kids will also take after her, and they will be as black as Lu Xiao, which makes me angry just thinking about it.
Let her do what she wants, let her do what she wants, she will be a good student in the future, she can't be like his father and join the army! As a mother, I am so worried!
If there is a choice, I still hope that the younger generation can be more relaxed, but it would be good if there is one who can take over his father's job.
Otherwise, each generation will be worse than the previous one. By the way, you will have to collect your clothes in a couple of days. Can your parents come over?"
Xu Zhixia looked a little disappointed and shook her head. "My parents are still doing research in secret and can't come. My brother can't leave either. Fortunately, you and Xiaoyan are here to support me!"
Jiang Yan glared at her, "You are the one who holds the final say, do you still need us to support you? It's good enough that you don't hit him."
Xu Zhixia pouted and said coquettishly: "I don't care, you have to stand on my side."
Jiang Yan had a helpless expression and surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll stand by your side unconditionally. Let's eat first!"
That's how it is between friends, time passes by while they play and fight.
Because she had asked for leave from the team and did not go back at night, she slept in the empty room next door, which was much more comfortable than in the team. At least she didn't have to worry.
Xu Zhixia has a good sleep quality and can’t be woken up even by thunder. He has a sound sleep and feels full of energy the next day.
She opened the door and saw Jiang Yan was already washing up. Seeing Jiang Yan taking care of the baby, she seemed to be in good spirits. She asked curiously, "Doesn't the baby bother you at night? It's so easy to take care of. Are these babies you gave birth to here to repay your kindness?"
I see other kids don’t cry during the day, but at night they stare at their parents. Many of them have lost their hair because of staying up all night. You are in such a good condition. I’m really envious.”
Jiang Yan was applying vanishing cream, and she thought of something, and chuckled: "This kid only knows how to make trouble for their uncle, I am very good with him.
Sleep when it’s time to sleep, eat when it’s time to eat, I even suspect these three little bastards are deliberately making trouble for their uncle!"
